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.

February Update

Progress has been slow. I'm wading through some UI tinkering, which is always tedious, time consuming and hard to do in small chunks.

Once it's done character action selection will be done via popup menus on each character widget. This mechanism is unashamedly inspired by the Grimoire UI. Once it's done it'll be far easier to add class and race special abilities to the menu.

Here are a couple screen shots of the work in progress.
