Berlin Interpretation 1992 – Day 23

Adding a chance to dodge attacks for both player and enemies to spice up combat a bit, this included adding a new stat, DEX, used for both.

In doing this, I followed fellow roguelike developers idea that it’s better to show an attack as evaded, than a miss.

Also removed the unsupported POSTMORTEM attachments (sadly didn’t get to implement these), and hid the attachment area for the email if it has none.

Next up: Here’s a list of stuff to implement in order to make this a fun, complete-ish roguelike. The problem is… I don’t think I’ll be able to do it any time soon.. Leaving it here for posterity when I have some time to do it.

  • Poison
  • Reduce Strength
  • Steal Item

Backlog

• Fix keyboard repeating rate to about multiple unwanted actions: It’s just bad UX
• Considering removing the blue background to make the game full mono.
