Our 7drl like for 2017

Ratel

Hi Everyone

My wife and I participated in the 7drl this year and finished the project just in time, feel free to check it out here at itch.io https://littlebear.itch.io/derelict and tell us what you think.

She wanted to work on her drawing skills and I wanted to write more than code this year so we did something a bit different, we made a text-based roguelike. Here is some of the art, any comments welcome.

I always miss this and I desperately want to take part. Isn't there a news letter or some notification of when it happens?

Those drawings are excellent, I love the amount of detail achieved in such a short time-frame. Seems like a rad setting for a rogue-like.

Ratel

Thanks for the kind words Evan, do you think it's worth taking it to a more complete form?

The artwork is really great! :) Awesome environments!
@LittleBear I don't have Evan's experience but I think taking it further or not should depend on an empirical response from people - if you see a lot of positive response from outside your own friend circle and it gets circulated outside (breaks out) then that's your answer. It's pretty much the path Free Lives have taken for all their games. Otherwise it's hard to make that call.

Hey, everyone, I made a small blog post on WordPress about the do's and don'ts of how we made the game, give it a read and let me know what you think.

the 7 day do's and don'ts

Cheers guys.

A bit of constructive crit on your blog: The font + background combo isn't high enough contrast for an easy reading experience :)

Ratel

Thanks will look into it :)
