Areas of influence and other overworld features

I spent most of the week fixing various parts of the game that stopped working after the introduction of multiple sites. Since every site has its own local clock, in addition to the global game clock, I had to go through all the game mechanics that work with time and decide whether they should use the local or global clock. There were also problems with portals, summoned creatures, immigration, recruitment and more. I'm trying to keep everything simple and not introduce a lot of special cases in the code, but it's not easy :) (but then, developing this game has rarely been easy :) ). I realized that free movement in the overworld map isn't very interesting. Choosing the base location also lacks any consequences. As things stand, there is no reason at all for the world to be set up as a grid. This needs to change. I decided to introduce the concept of "area of influence". This will be a set of sites on the world grid where the player is allowed to travel and attack, and only these sites will ever attack the player. Conquering enemies will enlarge the area, and will activate more enemies and allies, where one can trade or recruit. Hopefully this will create some interesting decisions, including where to locate the base. I'm still torn whether or not to add fog of war to the world map to initially hide some areas. This would obviously add a surprise element, but on on the other hand I want to give the players control over what enemies they'll face. Especially when they download retired bases from the cloud. You never know what's in there.

  • KeeperRL is an ambitious dungeon simulator with roguelike and RPG elements. Take the role of an evil wizard and study the methods of black magic. Equip your minions and explore the world, murder innocent villagers and burn their homes. Build your dungeon, lay traps and prepare for an assault of angry heroes.

    When you control your minions the game changes into a classic roguelike, with turn-based and very tactical combat. You can also play as an adventurer and assault dungeons made by you or other players.

    Dungeon management

    You will dig deep into the mountain and build dozens of rooms, corridors and traps. Your minions will train and produce weapons and armor. Prisoners will be tortured. You will research new technologies like alchemy, beast mutation and sorcery.

    Roguelike mechanics

    The world is simulated on a very detailed level. Creatures use equipment and consumable items. There are dozens of special items, spells, attributes and special attacks. You can cut off heads and limbs and blind or poison your enemies. If you're not careful with fire, you can burn an entire forest or even your own dungeon.

    Large, procedurally generated maps

    In your neighborhood you'll find castles, villages, other dungeons and special locations. Slay heroes, dragons and witches for their loot. Every game you play will be different.

    Online map sharing

    Download dungeons made by other players and explore them as an adventurer.
