Rogue Effect v1.0 and Drakefire Chasm v1.3.4 Released

This year's Annual Roguelike Release Party managed to sneak up on me and I didn't quite manage to get a new release out for it. I rescheduled for the next (the past) weekend and missed that deadline too as I ended up going for a double release and debugging two games is twice as much work. Especially if one has an unexplainable bug.

ARRP 2016: Rogue Effect v0.9 Released

Damn. It has actually been a full year since the last release of Rogue Effect. This version is a pretty good one, though -- almost feature-complete. I quite couldn't get saving/resuming in as I was trying to get rid of two major bugs that keep resurfacing: Biotic Charge crash and occasional infinite loop when going to score screen after game end.

Drakefire Chasm Downloadable Again

Dropbox decided to disable Drakefire Chasm's download link(s) (and to my files in general for too much traffic?). I don't know why exactly but maybe it was the trojan false positive many antivirus software have started detecting in the latest version since last summer that had something to do with it.

7DRL Day 2: Déjà Vu

It sure is looking much like last year at this point. I would probably be further if I hadn't started rewriting stuff. I also made the will and sanity bars animate like I have in my super secret project but it didn't look as good so that was time wasted. Instead I made them simply lerp between a dark and brighter color.

Third Time's the Charm (I Hope)

I'm a bit hesitant to make this post given how my attempts at the 7DRL Challenge for the last three years have been seriously lacking in success. I didn't even bother declare the failures for the last two since they really got no where before I gave up.

ARRP 2015: Rogue Effect v0.5.5 Released

I got to working on this release only on last Friday and thus didn't quite get everything in I had planned. But I didn't want the Annual Roguelike Release Party go by without a release, especially since it's been so long since I have gotten anything out. So here's Rogue Effect v0.5.5.

MSE and Windows Defender Being Overaggressive

The latest updates (or some update within the last two weeks or so) to Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender made them detect Drakefire Chasm as trojan. As far as I know, this is a false positive. The v1.3.2 zip has been sitting in dropbox unchanged for about 1.5 years and is quite unlikely it has suddenly become a trojan in there.
