well if its turnbased tehn theres not realy a point in the whole line of sight thing. if you would have real time combat then there would be more sence to it
@86Corvus I think 30 years of roguelike and dungeon crawler designs would disagree with that statement. Line of sight is very important, and adds to the strategy of turn based games too. If you or a monster hides in a shadow, ambushes could be made. It also prevents you from knowing what is in a room until you reach it (and/or open a door). Once we get a gameplay video posted I think you'll see how the shadows and line-of-sight become important and useful... and pretty neat looking too :)
Loving the look of the game! It looks very much like zelda when you are outside in the greenery, which is awesome!! :D ... question: will she have the ability to attack enemies? and by what means? sword? :D
@AppChat Glad you like it! She's come a long ways since you first saw video samples this spring... and a number of people have made zelda comparisons, which is very flattering to me :)
Mineko will have many ways to fight enemies: hand-to-hand/melee weapons, her crossbow, and various types of magic. The game is actually "turn-based" which means if you stop moving, so do the monsters... but it runs so smooth and quick you can play it as near real-time exploration and action-combat if you like!
@ChronoSoftVideos Wow that will be interesting to see! I'm not a huge fan of turn based games but I think this will be pretty awesome! :D However, I do like the style of pokemon games on gameboy and that's turned based battling. Haha well I'm enjoying following the progress, it's going really well :D
@AppChat I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! There's no heading to a different "battle screen", all combat takes place in the main game world, and you can fight multiple monsters at a time :)
Just to tease you a bit: There may be a few other nods to games like Zelda and Pokemon that you'll find as you get to play the game too! ;)
Holy shiiit! This is the only iPhone roguelike that looks better than 100 Rogues!
