Thank you very much, it is now fixed, you can go full screen, but may be you will have to clear your cache to see the full version. This is an issue because i use a 2k monitor and i did not see it on such big screen.

Certainly. Ai graphics are a new ressource, it has a really new way of scripting with so many parameters ! The very special thing is that when you get an image to work but that has issues, you can draw by hand some stuff, even very badly, and the Ai will correct it and uniform the picture. I encoura...

Yo! Ai graphics are improving fast. I had to delete all previous characters, and redid all the tile graphics. This will delay the final game because it takes a lot of time and ressources, every character rendering is about 60s and the first render isn't the good one, need almost 10 rendering for one...

Hi there, Doing fine tuning and tile set and characters according to original DM characters look and feel

Hello :) The beta will be soon open without invitation code, but the reserved access will remain for really interested people that have a few time to help the dev of game. I got surprised to have really few advice and so many view ??? So I searched other sources of comments. It seems that they were ...

From now you will find on the staring screen of the game a link to the version notes document.

Because I update often the demo, don't forget to empty your cache before playing If you want to see the last fonctions working.

Ok ! Thank you for your message.

Thank you Gambit37 for you kind message. May be I did never grow as an adult even if I grew old :) But DM was my first emotion in game playing. I played it with a friend and felt so much fear in its corridors ! I just wanted to do an update with modern computering. The code will be active for the 10...

Hello ! After 6 months of development, I am opening the technical demo to everyone on this forum. Some people reported some bugs. Some were fixed for the open beta, other will be in the first version of the game engine. There are finally very few bugs. Everybody can now try the engine. Remembrer thi...

Starting closed beta testing this WE. If you want to participe at the game closed beta test , just send me a private message asking for an early access and you will receive before the end of this week an invitation code with instructions ! See you there very soon :) https://i.postimg.cc/cJ3z8DMj/404...

Yesss... After 7 months of intense (lazy ;) programming, the game engine is done. Everything is working as expected, there are some bugs but none that can be frustrating for the player. Because Im an old coder, I like to factorize my work at the maximum to get the minimum line count :this is it : 10...

Same with more visible font color.

I'm doing the weapons gestion for the game engine. Every object can now have a power in % to be used upon anything that have a resistance property. So you can fight monsters of even doors. At this point of programming, the power of an item is in its file name, so "sword.50.png" will have a...

Really cool, thank you.

It was easier than I thought It will be :) The monsters can now attack the player, follow him and attack again when the player becomes reachable again, with a moving sound or an attack sound. I created a little room for testing and even only 3 mushrooms in the 6x6 room is a challenge because they mo...

I am on the moving monster stuff. I will use this redone mushroom old friend as model. Off course the game engine will add anti aliasing to the sprite.

How many interested people ? I don't know. I put a visit counter in the future demo entrance page. (No pub or data sniffing).
As usual the url is (and will remain) : http://dungeonmasterspace.free.fr/

I was not really happy with the entrance picture for the coming techdemo so I updated it, and did some torch animation too

Hello ! While the work is becoming close to completion with 926 lines of code /1000 (that means I only get 74 lines to write the moving monsters) I will need in the near future some people to test the game engine (not the playable game with story and all the stuff of course). I already set a portal ...

Introduction to the game play. Having a good game play for a video game is like having a good single for a record. There is no absolute recipes. DM the game had an original gameplay where everything was created almost from scratch by talented coders. But some things do not fit for me : the death of ...

Hello. This week and may be the previous I was really busy moving for a new home so I did not worked so much on the game. Anyway these are the last dev news : Did the skin stuff : a case can now : - display a change skin button to incarnate a pictured character. - force a discrete skin change - Bloc...

May be it"s easier to understand with this screen cap

Anyone that played DM remember the riddles and puzzles. I planned to make puzzles to pass some special doors with modular html pages containing one puzzle that the game engine could load like in the picture. When the player solve the puzzle, the door opens. This means that the modular puzzle has to ...

That's OK, teleportation stuff is done. Once on a case with a teleport device, the player clicks on it to use it. I choose not to teleport automatically the player. The engine could even display a text on the arrival for the narrative point of the game story. Even a classic door could be a teleporte...

The torch is a master object in DM. I did my own but that was difficult !

This week I did the rewriting of the locked door model, with the possibility for the future to do a persistant world. At this point of the game, all doors are self closing and objects are re-spawning for debugging purpose, and easy movements. Once the final game done, the world will be persistant. I...

Things are going well. I did the "locked door" mechanism with many variants to modelize : Locked doors of course but also NPC, places or objets that could deliver graphics, message, sound, objects, exige or change change player skin. With this you could : - open a door with its key. - find...

Don't ! A game engine is somehow easier to program. Same code for many situations with only some flags changed, and, it is a sort of challenge also
