Update on beta testing and progressHere's a brief update on the status of Possession.
The game's gone out to a small group of initial testers, and I've got some feedback that I'll be working on.
Aside from that, the main things I still need to do are:
- Sounds
- Music
- Achievements
- Steam integration for achievements
All of those were things that I was working on while making the rest of the game, but decided to put on hold to finish the content and gameplay. So I already had a good amount of sounds and some music made, it's not all coming from scratch here! I've mostly been working on finishing up the sounds recently, and I've been making good progress on that.
I'll be sending the game out for a second round of testing to a larger group once I have the sounds and achievements done. I'll be working on the music and Steam integration while it's with the second round. I have several people who have expressed interest in testing who haven't gotten it yet, so for the time being I'm not taking more applicants. I'll make another post if that changes.
[ 2018-10-27 12:45:51 CET ] [ Original post ] Possession is a roguelike where you play as a ghost trying to make your way to the surface. You are incredibly frail, but have one advantage: you can possess the bodies of the monsters you encounter, and use their strength and abilities as your own. Hop from body to body as you attempt to make it back to the surface.
Features:

Dozens of possessable monsters, from the horrifying to the hilarious, with a wide variety of powers.

Special themed levels with unique hazards, creatures and layouts. Randomly generated, so each playthrough is different!

Item-less gameplay. The dead have no need for worldly possessions, they just slow you down.

Quick to pick up and play. Unlike most roguelikes, Possession doesn't require you to memorize dozens of weird key commands, or puzzle over confusing skill and ability lists before you start playing.

Entirely playable with just the keyboard, just the mouse, or a combination of the two.

Mod support! Add your own creatures, powers and special levels, or change the ones already there.
@ Choice between graphics or ASCII mode, for the oldschool roguelike fans.
