Meanwhile, I decided not to implemented the tutorial at the current stage of development. Implementing a good tutorial would crash my schedule

And this schedule says: I'm going to release the demo either this or next week - hopefully, if no major problems occure.

What kind of tutorial are you thinking about?

Basically to explain how the controls work. But also referring basic gameplay (how to cast a spell etc.).

I'm currently thinking about adding a tutorial to the alpha demo or not. The later game will feature a tutorial, but I'm not sure whether this is a good idea at the current stage.

There's a poll on twitter: https://twitter.com/racodslair/status/755755210509869056
Feel free to participate

After migrating my lua integration from outdated LuaBridge to the awesome sol2, I finished the alpha demo's ai. Now the enemies can change their weapons on demand (e.g. between sword and bow referring to the distance between the bot and its target).

I'm currently working on proper balancing, ai and some new enemies. A playable state is coming closer each day

Nobody will remember

Because "Rage" is already the titel of a (large) existing game and I don't want to cause confusions/problems, I decided to rename the project. Actually, the project has only a working titel ("rage"), yet. So the real project title is upcomming!

Dungeons of Racod

Racod is an abreviation for Rogue-like Action Coop Dungeoncrawler und reflects 100% of the game's intension.
Furthermore: I think of adding "Racod" as final boss, so the players get an objective: explore die levels of Racod's dungeon to finally find and defeat Racod himself.

Feedback requested ^^

Maybe the actor object should follow the crate ^^

Maybe, but it would depend on if your character had some psychokinetic power!

I like that idea Unfortunately it doesn't match the scenario

If you have a appropriate lore background name it after your main hero (in case there is one) or the world the game is settled in. If you want to title it according to the style of gameplay, just find a synonym for rage.
But in general, I think I like story-based names more.

Unfortunately I don't have a lore background... also the game's world has no name
I'm currently brainstorming for giving the game some basic story later on

Now a bit progress:
While working towards the playable demo, I added the last piece of player animation that was yet missing: an animation for moving crates and other obstacles.

Maybe the actor object should follow the crate ^^

Hi, everyone, I'm back!
I recently finished my bachelor's degree and now I'm free for some time so I'll work on the game as hard as I can!

Gratz! And nice to have you back :-)

I've published new dev log about what I did in the recent months. There's some new stuff that I didn't write before (especially Action Lists) so be sure to check it out.

Nice Keep on coding and posting :-)

You can't expect anything good from me; I know nothing of the story

Me neither - there is no story

No, no! You know your game best. You put countless hours in its development. The name must be something that comes from yourself. Something that important cant grow on the responsibility of someone else.

That's right I guess ^^

Well... the name "rage" was basically the best matching word do describe the desired gameplay: fast, frenzied and raging ^^ So I'd really want to keep this in the name, because it's that what Ungod described. I was thinking of "Dungeons of Rage" or "Rage of the Rogues" - both transport the message (dungeoncrawling, rogue-similar) to the name. But I'm not a 100% convinced yet

Love it! Audio and the new ambience tiles truly add a lot to the game. I'm really looking forward to trying it out

I'm happy reading this

But before I gonna release a demo, I'd need to change the project name to avoid confusions with Rage by id software. Suggestions requested!

After tons of additional changes (mostly referring audio implementation), I'm proud to preset an alpha gameplay demo video:

Stay tuned for the playable demo!

It depends on system networking libs, so yes, it must be in the network module.

You mean those byteorder-version functions? Good point!!
