Escape From The Maze

A party-based, first-person, fantasy CRPG with phased combat, class-based character progression, and programmer-art. I called it "old school" until the term got trendy. It started inspired by Wizardry VII and the lack of a free open source alternative. Today we are living in the indie revolution and there are far more influences, but the game still clearly shows its Wizardry lineage. It's playable end to end, but there is a lot more to do before it's done. This blog tracks that work.

Development Update: Suggested Names

I've taken a short detour to implement a feature long in mind: character name suggestions during the character creation process.

Names are suggested based on the combination of race and gender, and are randomly selected from a list configured in the editor. The 'random' generation on the screen will also pick a random name now.

I've been thinking that the character creation wizard needs some changes, it's a bit scattered and crowded right now. I'd also like to eliminate the modifier editing in favour of preset modifiers on starting kit...
