I bought a used Thinkpad x200. That is the laptop that is sold with Libreboot and Trisquel GNU/Linux and got a RYF certificate by the FSF. I hope I will be able to liberate my one by myself. First step will be to replace the unfree wifi chip with a free one and installing a libre OS. I'm still a bit afraid of flashing Libreboot and disabling the Intel ME but it looks like I will need some extra hardware to do this this anyway.
@tealturtle I added a dialogue system and quests(WIP). I'm no native speaker so I guess the dialogues I wrote will have some typos and wrong grammar and need a bit polishing.
@tealturtle BTW Before I can release the next version I have some need for a native english speaker to review some texts. Only if you are interested... 😉
Yes, I am still working on RBA but didn't managed to release a new version last year. But I hope that I will be able to push out a new version soon(tm). 😉
So much time has past since my last post to the fediverse... again. I really need to post much more frequently. But in the last few months of the old year so many positive changes happened to my life... I promise I'll try to be a better resident of the fediverse from now on. 😉
Oh and of course there are also some news on my game RogueBox Adventures too. 😁
Since a few months I've the idea of forking a little side project from RogueBox Adventures after the next release. The game would have one huge randomly generated map with towns,wilderness and dungeons on it and play a bit like a classic crpg. I also have an raw idea for a plot already where the player needs to solve different themed dungeons in order to save the world. I'm not sure if I really will start this project but I guess it could be a cool game. #rba#rbadev#gamedev#freegaming#foss
Today I was able to work a bit more on RogueBox Adventure's item suffix system. 6 of 25-30 suffixes are already implemented yet. It seems the system will be much more complex then I expected but I guess the games battle system will gain a lot of depth because of suffixes.
The past days I didn't work on my game much. (Shame on me! ;) ) Instead I spent my time on Isleward a #foss MMORPG completely written in javascript. It can be played in browser or via a native client. IMHO the game does many things right and could be seen as an example for a good foss rpg. The comunity seems to be very friendly as far as I could tell. And... I LOVE the 8bit-ish art style!
Today I made some progress with the item suffix system of RogueBox Adventures. I hope I'll be ready to upload my changes soon. But now I am kinda unhappy with the alchemy system. Maybe I will rework it as well.
Past weekend I did at least a little progress on RogueBox Adventures. I'm still have hope that we will have some release this year. The todo-list isn't that long anymore:
-finish the main quest as far as possible
-add some more NPCs and small side quests
-finally finish the suffix system for items (hope to do this during the next days)
-rework the damage of weapons(this will need some testing and balancing work)
Wow! It seems the pyxel retro game engine did some nice progress since I visited its github page last time. I'm looking foreward to see some games made with this.
What a crazy week. A lot of family drama last weekend followed by 5 days full of extra work. Let's hope this weekend will be better and I will find some time for my game. But we'll see...
