Storage chest - Dungeon

Hi, Wixu Games here,
I've been working passively on the storage chest where you can put your items to store them:

It is work in progress, so obviously this won't be like this when released, however I've decided there isn't going to be too many items, this will not be necessary for the demo, so I will be keeping this idea for the full version.

The days after today, (weekdays) will be dedicated for:
* Item design
* Level design
* Shop stance (to access shop...)

No HUD changes are to take place this week, and a demo is expected to be released on the 24th of August 2014.

The demo which will be released will be for debugging reasons, but also for a "checkpoint" before i start making any major HUD changes, or even begin the story system (full version only...).

Thanks for ready, and be sure to be here for the demo!

Weekend disaster - Dungeon

Wixu Games here,
I'm sorry guys, there were issues during the weekend to do with things outside of Dungeon, however the issues were resolved and the game will still be developed as normal!
- The only issue is that the weekend update will be delayed by a week (how sad)!

Working on:
- Chest storage

I will be working during the week a lot to hopefully get a lot more into the game, after the storage system, this is going to come!

- A new demo, including:
*Explosives
*Shop
*Storage chest
*Bigger dungeon

Things that are unconfirmed (means they might be delayed):
*New weapons
*New enemies
*New shop interface

As for the deadline, there will be a different deadline, as the previous one (of 16th of August) will be scrapped, and there is no confirmation yet as of whether the game will be fully developed after the polished demo is released.

The new deadline:
Demo deadline: 25th of August
Polished demo deadline: 1st of September
Game deadline: Unconfirmed

Basically, there will be a polished demo, and based on the reaction the game will continue to be developed, if there is not enough support the game might not be released, any support is appreciated!

Dynamite animation, and money! - Dungeon

Hello, Wixu Games here,
Dungeon has now got a dynamite animation, and even in game money!

There is no confirmation as for the conversion rate from gems to cash, however I will be implementing that soon, so I'll see you then (on the weekend update, that is)!

Let's shop!! - Dungeon

Wixu Games, 

I'm happy to announce Dungeon has found its own shop!!

There are a few things to tweak in the shop to actually enable buying, which I will do on the first days of the week, however as you can see, I have the basic design!

The interface will be easy to use and there will be a title in the space reserved at the top, and most those items will certainly not be for sale! xD

As for the space at the bottom, it can be filled up as I add more items so no problem there!

Thanks for reading!

BOOM - Dungeon

New deadline! - Dungeon

Hi, Wixu Games here!

So obviously the deadline for Dungeon has been changed, after revising it for a while, I decided since now I have some commitments it's wise to start a stretch the deadline a little bit, to give me space for other things (eg. school) and it is now on the 16th of August, any comments? questions? comment below!

If you haven't already, check out the demo here: Download (10.7 mb)

Fire Breath Spell! Spiders! - Dungeon

Hello, Wixu Games still working intensively on Dungeon, Here's the picture of my progress:

That's right! there's a fire breath spell, a mana hud, and spiders!!

So I've been mostly working on the fire breath spell to make it as fun as possible, that's why I had to work on it so much! refining it was making it such a great spell that I'm now confident that there's only a few things left before the demo is released!!!! (yes that's right, a demo where you get to feel the feel of the game, you get to try a few weapons loot a few chests and kill a few enemies!!!!)

List of things to work on for the demo:
- Puzzle design
- Stage design
- Basic menu
- Player death screen
- Player checkpoint
- Enemy saves (got to decide a few things..)

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to the release!

Get loot and save game! - Dungeon

So I've just completed the looting system:

The mana system has been done but the hud for it hasn't been created yet, however I intend on finishing it pretty quickly.

The save system is done, I was having trouble with a very persistent bug which turned out to be pretty simple , so I was all night trying to figure out what was wrong with the saving system, eventually however, I found it, I was very happy that the saving system works so well! (can't really show you the save system, but it will be in the demo)

The demo itself will be coming within the next few days, so get ready!

Thanks for reading!

Explosion, golden key, locked door, new Dungeon features!

After working on some bug fixes, I'm pleased to announce that there's now an explosion, cracked wall, a lever, key, locked door, and a close inventory button!

Here's a quick shot of it:

Some things I want to include before posting a new file:

- Proper hud

- Chests, for getting items

I'm intending on making demos instead of giving the test file from now on, since there's not much point in downloading something made for testing purposes, so I will soon be releasing a short demo of this, looking forward to it!

Thanks for reading!

Working on Dungeon

Hello, and welcome to the Dungeon development blog (by Wixu Games)! Here I will update my progress on the game I'm currently working on: Dungeon, a commercial game which was inspired by just my imagination and some other dungeon games, the game itself will be based around survival, will have a story, and a massive dungeon to explore!

I've been working on the game for 7 days since the 4th July (Friday), and I've been enjoying every bit of it!

Here's a picture of the actual game, and character:

This is a show off of the inventory system, featuring not only a normal inventory, but an analysis of each item! it also allows you to use certain items such as band aid kits!

 The game is going very well so far, I've added the inventory system, and I've pretty much finished the player engine, Now I will be working on new things:

- Basic enemy

- Basic trap/hurting thing

- Basic button

- Basic lever

- Cracked wall

- Key

- Locked door

- Health fruit

- Mana orb

The game is windows only, but has windows 7 and 8 support as far as I know, if you have any problems with the game feel free to comment and I will look into it.

I'm going to work very hard on this game full-time during these school holidays. My "deadline" is the 21st of July, however with the current progress I will have to get to the 21st of July to adjust to a new deadline, although I do believe I will have time to put in a great demo of the game! (looking forward to it)
