Day 3 on the godot dungeon crawler:

Not much was done today.

What I said yesterday was mostly true and the majority of the day was spent working on Zenith. I did get a sweet and simple map working, though. I started laying out the skeleton for combat but not much was done.

Funeral Toll is still being worked on!

So, I am actually getting close to graduation and unemployment so I would keep your hopes up for more updates. However I would like to give you all a sneak peak about features that will be added into the game. Feature creep is a problem but I am managing!

Brainstorming ideas for my dungeon crawler game

i was thinking i could change the walls and floor to like a castle courtyard or maybe a dungeon, with a medieval knight theme on the whole thing i could base a lot around it.

new attacks

some kind or semicircle sword swing to knock back tanky enemies and kill weaker ones, this would take a lot of tinkering to make it balanced, based on size and how quickly you swing your sword

a bow and arrow 'gun' that has a fast projectile speed to shoot at slower enemies, having both an arrow and a sword will cater to both melee and ranged playstyle based on who is playing the game.

new item feature

I could add some special items to the game to make the difficulty scale I plan to add a bit more easy, based on how strong the enemies are

sharpening stones would increase your attack, as you can sharpen your arrows and your swords blade too

comfier boots would offer a higher walking speed, this would have to have a cap because moving too fast in a game is a massive pain for some people, especially when you cant control your character because you would just accidentally walk into enemies

better plates, an armor upgrade letting you get hit a few times before breaking and then not working anymore, this could be 3 stages and it could change the color of the armor your knight has

new enemies

adding a much slower tanky enemy will make the game harder as when you don't notice him, he will creep up on your and kill you quickly, these would need to have a bigger hitbox and be much larger, I could make it some kind of ogre to fit the medieval theme

small fast enemies that have very low damage and health, these would need to be dealt with first as they will dash towards you and would do a lot of damage, but the can be dealt with quickly.

bonus stuff, if I have time to do so

crystal ball, that adds a damage over time effect on your attacks, this could be poisoning, fire or bleeding. all the DoT effects would to the same damage, 2 1 second ticks of 10% of your weapons attack, for some bonus damage, I will make the effects work on the sword and arrow too. this will be hard to code but I think it would be really cool to make

special floors things like a cold icy slippery floor could make your knight slip about and not be able to move properly, this is a good idea but it would be challenging to implement.

this is a very ambitious project, with lots of ideas so I'm not sure how much would have to be scrapped or just plain up not work so I removed them

[hoping-for-novelty]

I don't think this actually works. I admit don't know much about the way AI companies obtain their dataset, but I'd be shocked if any major company used such a basic a web crawler that they struggle with this

Realistically, if a web crawler tries to crawl the whole internet it's going to encounter websites like this anyway. It's pretty common for urls to have a time component for example

Get Ready to Loot Epic Gear in Billion Dungeons: A Dungeon Crawler Adventure

Billion Dungeons is a simple dungeon crawler game working to make its way onto Linux with Windows PC. Developer Station 437 brings their creativity to life. Working to make its way onto Steam. If you like the thrill of hacking, slashing, and looting, Billion Dungeons is here to scratch that itch. This is a dungeon crawler built for anyone who just wants to dive into endless dungeons. Due to take down some enemies, and come out loaded with epic gear. Whether you prefer tackling the depths solo or teaming up with friends in co-op, we have you covered. Along with plans for support.

Billion Dungeons will run on SteamDeck. But I'll make a test Linux build and add it to the future playtest. Let the playtest decide on a Linux build for the release.

Station 437 shared in an email that a Linux release wasn’t in the cards, since they’re focusing on Windows. Testing for Linux can be tricky when working on a different OS. The game is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, and with the upcoming playtest, the devs also seem optimistic about offering a native build. Similar to their other title, Electro Magnate.

Announcement of the new game Billion Dungeons

One interesting problem caused by generative AI is websites have begun to significantly reduce the amount of access web crawlers have to their website. For example, Reddit has changed their access rules to completely block all web crawlers. This means search engines and similar services will no longer be able to link to new Reddit posts. It may also lead to someone instructing their generative AI web crawlers to ignore those instructions from websites, which should open up all kinds of privacy and legal troubles.

The Playa Crawler: A Kinetic Walking Chair for Burning Man

In 2017, engineer Mark Ellis designed an innovative kinetic chair called The Playa Crawler to navigate the vast expanse of Burning Man. Inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, this unique chair is specifically crafted to withstand the alkaline terrain of the Black Rock Desert.

Mark Ellis wanted a personal vehicle that was both functional and original for getting around Burning Man. This led him to create a chair that walks using a system of articulated legs. This mechanism, invented by Theo Jansen, allows the chair to move similarly to Jansen's giant sculptures, which are propelled by the wind along the beaches.

Built from laser-cut aluminum and steel, The Playa Crawler is equipped with two electric wheelchair motors, batteries, and is controlled via a wheelchair joystick.

(A Late) Screenshot Saturday!

Hello,

I am, in fact, alive. Last semester incredibly sucked and consumed my life force. However over break I have been busy working on my game and basically doing sprite work, as well as sound design. It's a combination of making 4 different sprites for 8 directions that an enemy can face. Then it requires a 4 frame attack animation, a single frame hurt animation, and a 4 frame death animation. I think the game is genuinely getting close to a point where I could consider releasing a demo or playable teaser.

Also pronouns.

Have some screenshots and be safe!

[auressea]

love the SearX idea! here's some background:

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.
