Cross another game off the list of things preventing me from working on AarrrRL!!
This time it was Cave Story. How I had never heard of this game before seems like a travesty. Amazing stuff.

Welcome! (to your doom)
Welcome screen. Working on a basic help screen and then version 0.1 will be complete!
Of course, version 0.2 is much much harder.
Development Roadmap Update
Merging version 0.1 and 0.2, attempting to use FogBugz to manage features (and bugs!):
VERSION 0.1
Message Buffer w/ Scrollable message history screenFix lighting bugEquipping weapons – sword, pistolBasic on-screen player status- Welcome screen
Save/LoadReloadable weapons- Help Screen
Player ship persistance
VERSION 0.2
- Basic Monster pathfinding
- Monster info stored in basic SQLite database (I’m attempting to keep as many things data-centric as possible)
- Basic equipping / unequipping (not just weapons)
- Basic stats structure (HP, Attack, Defense)
- Slightly more useful on-screen player status
VERSION 0.3
- Focus on “dungeon” (player-as-pirate) gameplay and mechanics:
VERSION 0.4
- Focus on “ocean” (player-as-ship) gameplay and mechanics
Goooooooooooooollll(d)!!!!!
Various piles of loot on the deck of my ship. Added the ability to “visit” your own ship and walk around on it. I think the persistence will be nice; you could build up quite the stash below decks.
Shooting is Important
Evidence of wielding different weapons & shooting. The ability to shoot things is very important to a pirate.
