Chosen, A Text Based Adult Roguelike game

[Void Director]

Chosen, A Text Based Adult Roguelike game
Inspired by Faster than Light, Corruption of Champions, Pillars of Eternity and others. Blog at http://www.adultrealms.com

Plot

The player character, an outcast from society, is chosen by a mysterious being of light of questionable benevolence to end the blight ravening the world. They find themselves on a quest to travel east to slay the blights demonic master battling desperate humans and sexy monsters along the way. Along the way they will encounter all kinds of creatures, locations and events along procedurally generated maps.

Mechanics

The game blends elements from Faster Than Light, CoC, and Pillars of Eternity. It is text based like CoC. It takes place in a medieval fantasy universe not a sci-fi one. Like FTL this game has roguelike elements including a procedural map similar to the FTL starmap. Defeat usually means permanent death and bad ends abound. Maps are procedurally generated.

Fetishes

What fetishes will be in the game is dependent on what writers want to write. Most fetishes can be added to the game if people are willing to write them. The game will definitely include M/F, Monster girls, and other basic fantasy tropes. M/M or F/F could be included if there are writers willing to write them.

However, there won't be permanent transformations as the game does not have a system to support them. These will fetishes will definitely not appear underage (all characters should look and act like adults), scat, sexualized gore or gruesome violence. Ask about any other unusual or extreme fetishes via pm or forum post.

Looks cool mate, but I think I found a bug. On my second playthrough (died the first time like a scrub) the final destination didn't appear in the top right corner. Now I thought to myself that it could just be random in the right corner but it turns out it's not there and some parts of the map are not accessible since they go off screen, which locked me in surrounded by the black dots so I couldn't move anywhere as I tried to reach the top again.

On a side note I don't know if this is intentional but the wizard class is just wrecking everything. Just firebolt and pulse spam xD

Well that is no good. I think there are certainly parts of the map code which is a bit fritzy right now. I will look into making it more robust.

The balance between the classes is very rudimentary right now. Fighters and shapeshifters don't yet have most of their abilities implemented. Once they are more complete I will work on trying get the numbers right for a more serious level of balance.

Tried it, its not bad. One thing i will say is that my second combat broke the game. I pressed attack then went to attack the opponent, but the only option was to cancel. It just looped the attack and cancel options infinitely.

Well that is certainly odd. Would you mind telling me what class you were playing and what enemy you were up against? Also what browser you were playing on might have something to do with it. I will try to replicate and correct the bug.

I was playing as a shapeshifter with the erotic barb defence perk. I was fighting a rouge / bandit type enemy, i forget the exact name. It was after i had deployed my barbs twice.

Ok, I will try to replicate and fix it. Edit: I found the bug. It will be fixed in the next version of the game (0.0.3).

[Void Director]

New version (0.0.3) is now up.

You can read about the new version at my blog or just play at chosen.adultrealms.com

Its mostly a bugfix version that fixes the problem reported by the user above along with several others.

Hey mate, didn't run into any major problems. The map thing seems to work out now. So props for that

Two things though, one is that in character creation when you are making stats I was trying to fine tune my stats. Then I found an exploit. Because if I click back it goes all the way to 1 from whatever number it was on and when I raise it again it gives me an extra stat point without me spending any stat points. I don't know if this is a new thing or if it's under the balance bit, figured I'd mention it anyhow.

Secondly, it's a bit confusing to poor little ol' me the way you write the money. how there is three zeros and not only two afterwards. like this 84.534 that made me think I had WAAAAAAAY more than I had. I mean it's not a "Stop the fucking presses" issue, but just a personal little thing.

Looking forward to see way this goes.

Side note: It's like 3 am or something, so hopefully half of what I wrote made sense x)

It's a bug. The result of me typing setStat instead of changeStat. It will be fixed in the next release.

Its odd to see numbers that weird. The game usually gives gold in fairly normal increments. I will take a look.

Hey mate.

Just popping in to hear how it's going with the project and what you are working on.

Been silent for a while now and it's always nice to be up to date

Well I released version 0.0.4 a while ago. I am currently working on a system so that combat abilities can be created in the editor (previously they had to be created in source code). I am also communicating with a writer to try to get some more content into the game.

Edit: Version 0.0.5 is now up. You can read the full post at the blog http://www.adultrealms.com/new-ability- ... ion-0-0-5/.

Ah okay, sounds cool. Just seen a lot of projects fall within their first few weeks. easy to get paranoid xD

I have been working on the project since last spring (while also doing college and stuff). It's just only now that I have announced it and released it publically. So the good news is that I am not likley to suddenly quit. The bad news is that if you expect me to get as much done as I have since the project's inception every few weeks that is unlikely to happen.

[racso44]

Fair enough. Well good luck to ye 'n all that and I'll keep an eye on this project.
