Arcane, the roguelike
« 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:

  • The ancient wyvern claws you for 8 damage
  • You stab the gigantic rat for 4 damage

I would change to

  • Ancient wyvern clawed you for 8 damage
  • You stabbed gigantic rat for 4 damage

but in my opinion this would be even better:

  • You were hit for 8 hit points
  • Gigantic rat was hit for 4 hit points

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.

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.
