7 Day Roguelike 2016: Plan

2016-03-05 in gamedev roguelikes 7drl

The 7 Day Roguelike Challenge is a game jam where participants make a roguelike in 7 days. This year I’m making a game called “Skeleton Crew” where you fight undead things on a spaceship. I’ll post updates to this site as I make progress.

The Plan

I’m going to start with the glacial codebase. I plan to implement the following features:

guns
shooting the hull can cause a breach and vent the atmosphere from connected parts of the ship
you need oxygen in your suit to survive in vacuum
oxygen drains while you’re in vacuum, and recharges while you’re in atmosphere.
as atmosphere is vented, characters and items are sucked towards, and possibly out of, the breach
flamethrower that doesn’t penetrate the hull but only works in atmosphere
