Horace, you have your one player mode now, though tower switching still needs to be done.

Wow ! That's awesome what you did ! I'm just playing bloodwych on my ipad (with puffin for the flash). I've been walking a bit and (oups !) killed the merchand. But I can't talk. Go on the great work. It's fantastic !

hi guys.

just noticed some recolouring problems when testing on my laptop... first i noticed red eyes on the first monster... couldnt remember if this was right so i just carried on... but then when i reachted the first ghosts i saw a lot of red that shouldnt be there... on arms and heads mostly.

pics attached:

Thanks Horace,

Any issues you see please try and post a picture so we can fix it, these should all be pretty simple

[MadMunky]

Horace,

What where you using when you took them screenshots, I've just checked it and its fine on my PC using Chrome and on the iPhone...

[Hungry Horace]

I was using my Macbook (2007?) running Firefox 29.0.1

i did think it odd that i had never seen it like that on the iphone before!

Seems good on the galaxy tab3 but I did notice the crab graphics are messed up, in particular whenj the crab faces right and you are a couple of spaces away. I did spot something else with a claw being misaligned too...

[MadMunky]

Hi Horace,

We know about crabs and also floaters are not right yet, they are on the TODO list

Just a small update on what is done, in progress and to be done:

DONE:
- Dungeon is done. All static objects are visible.
- PLayers can walk around and interact with the dungeon.
- User Interface is working, except communication and system options.
- Items are added to the pockets and dungeon.
- All champions and monsters are in the game.
- Combat system working, although still unknown if accurate.
- Spell system working. Not all spells are working though.
- Projectile spells working (fireballs, missiles).

UNDER CONSTRUCTION:
- More spells
- More projectiles
- Monster drawing (arms etc) needs fine-tuning.
- Communication

TO DO:
- Finalise item functions (gems, crystals)
- Finalise switches
- Game options (Load, Save, Pause)
- Multiplayer option (not only hotseat!)
- Inprove mobile version
- Game editor
- Loads of testing and bugfixing

hi guys

can you give me more info on the data for spells etc?

I think there are about 10-16 projectile spells, each of which use the $80-8F reference numbers (as if they were monsters?)  can you tell me if this is right, and any other background info extra info on them?

I know the extended levels uses this method to have the "Inferno" spell appear, like a monster, and be released by traps which remove pillars in order to release them.


This will allow me to add them into my editor better! Thanks


btw, I would defiantely say the combat system is not accurate as I am able to progress quite easily with one character alone!!

This is because i think we enabled god mode temporarily, for spell testing purposes. All stats are 99 and 255.

Hi Horace,

Sorry for the slow response i've been focusing on the game and making the most of the nice weather while it lasts... I'll have to work out all of this again and send it over to you but you are right the spells work in a similar way as to monsters. Each use two bytes from what I remember, one is a code and the other is normally a timer.

Holy Moly this is looking great!
Got some time to have a bit of a mooch around, I'll have a bit of a test on my laptop and Nexus 7
Good work MM & Wishbone.
