I now have a bitbucket set up for this project. PM me for an invite if you want in.

As some of you on IRC may have noticed, I now have actual villagers in the game.


I would talk more about it, but I have something else on my mind. Of the three people currently in the access list for the project's repo, I am the only one who can actually code in C#. CyclopsCaveman and Mega-Mario are more like designers or something, and even then mostly in the sense that I bounce ideas off them, or so it seems.

I guess what I'm saying is, I could really use a second programmer on this.

Well, you have repo access. Pick an issue.

Added beds for the villagers to use, but their placement is very badly done. I already have an idea on what better placement would be, which also works for other clutter, but haven't gotten to implement it yet.

The beds also have IDs matching their owners, so villagers can pathfind back to their beds when needed. Like say if I add the passage of time?

I think it's about time.

(edit: fixed incorrect method call)

Poor Kohaku, hit with the Kawa Can't Math bug

That was an XmlDocument.Load() call, which takes a filename, where it was supposed to be LoadXml() call, which takes a string. That's the "(incorrect method call)" I mentioned in my edit.

Y'see, all the game data is in internal resources, but if you put a file with the right name in the same directory it'll load that instead.

You're probably running the original 0.1 release. The same link now leads to 0.1.2, but the build system doesn't add the .2 at the end. Another change is one that Nicole helped fix with regards to the new world format fucking up and trying to load a nonexistant board.

I've made the repository public, so if I understood this right anybody should be able to drop in and help.

Some things I would like outside help for are combat (issue 6 in the tracker, if you can see it), and the writing of dialogue and sex scenes. Any takers?



In other news, you can now have an arbitrary amount of concurrent worlds on one copy of the game. The world name is generated with a stupid little hack I threw together in a minute, but you can rename worlds easily -- just rename the folder, it'll work. What the hell was I thinking when I made "kipperlings" a world name part anyway? If you would like to give the current version a go, grab a copy off the repo and build it yourself (assuming I understood "public" correctly), or ask me for a binary.

You can't see https://bitbucket.org/Kawa/noxico/issues?status=new&status=open? There isn't a tab along the top of the page that says "Issues"?


Ah, there we go. It was set to Private. Now it's not.

Noxico now has its own page on RogueBasin. I suppose that's a good reason to get a new release up some time soon, so it can be listed on the frontpage's release list.

Fun fact: some asking around on #rgrd has revealed that Noxico is the first erotic roguelike to go public. If there are others, they don't know about them. This apparently takes brass ones.

Please, don't hesitate to submit some stuff.

0.1.10 is out, because Annual Roguelike Release Party.

Remember Kohaku with his 0 cm dick? That's been fixed, among many other things, and a lot of stuff's been added.

Except prose.
