Build 1.0.4 for Winter
Hope everyone has a happy holiday this winter, maybe some of you will pick up some really cool games or play ones currently in your library! (hint hint :P)
Gemstone Keeper has been updated to Version 1.0.4, the changes made are as follows:
- VFrame Engine Update: The underlying engine of Gemstone Keeper had been updated during the development of a new project. Some changes are optimisations but there have been more additional functionality for graphics and tilemaps.
- Weapons and Bullets Added: Specifically, a gun that will shoot in all directions, big bullets and shrinking bullets. The count of both gun and bullet types is now seven, meaning there are now a total of 49 weapon types!
- Transitions Between Levels: This was a fun addition since I want more excuse to work on visual effects.

If you wish to continue playing Gemstone Keeper as the previous version (1.0.3), you can set the game go to Properties -> Betas and opt into Legacy.

[ 2017-12-21 10:02:30 CET ] [ Original post ] Gemstone Keeper is a twin stick shooter where avid explorers go down into the Cistershire Caverns, a large, dangerous and mysterious set of caves and caverns that are filled with vast amounts of rare and valuable gemstones. This game combines the quick and reactionary feel of a shooter with the exploration and decision making of classic roguelikes.
Using an ASCII art aesthetic in its purest form, all visual assets are produced from a single text font file, software rendering and visual effects. The weapon and bullet system is fully interchangeable, over 150 gemstones to collect, several creatures and bosses, different game modes and a soundtrack that echoes through the open spaces in-between the rocky walls. Gemstone Keeper is the shooter that is both fun and eerie.
