GearHead Caramel (tuxdb.com)

▶

It's Mecha Monday, which means a new release of GearHead Caramel! Version 0.925 adds some new stuff for dungeons. Every dungeon level now comes with at least one special feature- an encounter or room that is a little bit out of the ordinary. Some of these features will be good for your PC, while others will not be so good. In addition, many monsters now leave behind treasure- if you have the skill to take it. Characters who know the Wildcraft skill can harvest meat, pelts, and other valuable items from slain creatures. Scientists can disassemble robots and get a variety of useful items... or at least a pile of spare parts that might come in handy later. In addition, there are some cosmetic improvements. New signs have been added for a number of businesses and other buildings. Restaurants and taverns now have tables and chairs (Dick Valentine would approve). Some new effects and animations have been added- you should try some of this giant rat steak, it's delicious. But that's not all! The manual has been updated with a section on modding GearHead Caramel. I designed the game so that it'd be easy to add mods, but never bothered to document how to do it until now. Integration with the Steam Workshop is planned but this is my first game on Steam and I am still learning the API. Here is the complete list of changes. As usual, try it out and let me know what you think.

Added image templates to the source code repository
Added RestoreMP, RestoreSP effects
Fixed bug when gear loader tries to load list inside a dict
Added treasure types to monsters
Monsters without legs don't get their movement rate downgraded
Added tables and chairs to bars and coffee shops
Campaign method get_relationship will return existing relationship if it exists
Most dungeon encounters don't regenerate _every_ day
Added dungeon extras to dungeon levels
Added more signs for different businesses

It's been a year since the Typhon Incident, when a biomonster from the Age of Superpowers awoke and rampaged across the Earth. Aegis Overlord, having consolidated power on Luna, begins preparation to extend their domination across the solar system. The L5 Alliance attempts to maintain a fragile peace while their member-states bicker and war among themselves. To make matters worse, the cyberpop band Love Magnet just announced that they're splitting up. I trust that all of you know what this means.

It's time to fire up your giant robot and go do some stomping.
GearHead Caramel is a turn based tactics style scifi mecha Roguelike RPG set in a world recovering from the apocalypse. Take control of an immensely powerful mecha, build a team of unique lancemates, and change the future for better or worse. This is the third game in the GearHead series, though you don't need to have played the previous two to jump right in. Your character can play through a series of adventures set in various times and places in the GearHead universe. Currently there are two adventure modules, with more to follow.

Features include:

Procedural Narrative: The game is different every time you play it. In addition, the game world will react to your decisions. NPCs remember their past interactions with you and will treat you accordingly.
Both Mecha and Personal Scale Combat: GearHead may be a mecha game, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do on foot. You can explore dungeons, negotiate peace treaties, replace body parts with cybernetics, and even get swallowed whole by gigantic biomonsters.
Detailed Mecha Build System: Upgrade your mecha with parts from the customization shop or taken as salvage from missions. There are dozens of standard mecha to choose from, ranging from giant sword-wielding robots to city-levelling tanks. You can even design new mecha from scratch, but be warned- you might end up facing your own designs in combat!
Lifepath Based Character Generation: A GearHead character is more than just a collection of stats. You can allow the game to give you a random life story, or make every decision along the way by yourself. Using the portrait builder you can customize the appearance of your character.
Party Dynamics: Your adventuring companions have their own abilities and personalities. Their relationship with you will change depending on your choices, their choices, and a variety of other factors. Will your team become a tight knit found family? Or will they take the first opportunity to go through your pockets and leave your body in a ditch?
