Title: Arcane, the roguelike
Post by: underww on November 18, 2014, 12:17:00 pm
Hi,

Since the beginning of this year, I've been making a simple roguelike game called Arcane.
I'm trying to make a bit traditional roguelike game but has a nice graphical interface.

Here's a link for the demo. I made this demo for ProcJam.

It's a just engine demo though, :)
Thanks.

It looks pretty good.  :)

I would slightly change the semantics of the action messages. For example:


I would change to


but in my opinion this would be even better:


Someone who is better at english can tell you whether this is a bad suggestion or give a better explanation of why some changes would make the messages more natural sounding.

but in my opinion this would be even better:

  • You were hit for 8 hit points
  • Gigantic rat was hit for 4 hit points
No. You lose the information about who hit you, and who hit the rat.

Thanks for your suggestion, Mörkö.
Because I'm not a native speaker nor am I good at English, It's hard to make natural texts.
