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.

April/May

And actually it's nearly June?

RL has been keeping me busy. The next "epic" on the "backlog" is Immersion. I've made a few important pieces of progress:

- Crusader engine: support for wall texture transparencies
- Crusader engine: support for walls that are visible but not solid

That's right, finally wall texture alpha support in the ray caster. Only took 10+ years. Got a few more similar improvements to get to next.
