7DRL 2020 - Broken Signal - Dev Vids 1 & 2 (Day 1 Preamble)

I'm doing the 7DRL (7 Day Roguelike Challenge) for the first time!

I've decided to use an existing FPS project called BROKEN SIGNAL, and make it into a Roguelike(ish) game!



I've been making some Dev Log videos as I go, to track the progress, features, playtesting and thoughts along the way.

Dev Vid 1: My plans & intentions for the jam!

• Making procedurally generated towers to jetpack up.
• Player must reach the radio tower at the top to win.
• Action packed gameplay - more of a Spelunky-like than a traditional Roguelike.
• Think Quake-meets-Spelunky, but going up instead of down.  :)

Dev Vid 2: We examine my existing Broken Signal project

• Existing FPS project with slow motion, jetpacking, some AI enemies, key and locks.

B-Grade Renegade: All CAR art is complete!

I finally finished off all the car art!

B-Grade Renegade: Race to the Rocket - Dev Diary (2017-03-25th)

Here's a video where I talk through the nitty gritty of how my soon-to-be-finished roguelike game "B-Grade Renegade: Race to the Rocket" plays out!

I talk through the thinking behind my game design, and show the game in action.



B-Grade Renegade is a game I've been working on for many years now, on and off.  

You play as Foxy Scavenger, making her way across the country to reach the last rocket before it blasts off, leaving behind the destroyed Earth.

It's main platform is iPad, and it works great on an iPad Mini, or a full size iPad.  It also plays well on an iPhone 6 or 7 +.  

I'm also going to put it out for Mac game on Steam and the App Store.

I'd love to hear any feedback, comments and suggestions!

Q: Are people into this sort of game?  

Q: Would you play it on iPad, iPhone, Mac or PC?

Q: What would make it better?  

Q: What don't you like about it?

Enjoy!
