0.2.0 - The loot update


Hello!

For the past week or so I've been working on adding items and equipment to Barbarian Basement. This is limited to weapons and consumable items (like healing potions) for the current build. I have equipment implemented and working but the UI for this needs a little more work, so they're excluded from the item list for now.

NEW FEATURES

  • Player inventory - press I at any time to open your inventory and see whatcha got
  • Quick use slots - you can add up to 3 items to your quick use bar and use them by clicking. These include:
  • WEAPONS - choose to attack with a certain weapon instead of using your base attack. Most of the weapons from Heroquest are represented but honestly they feel a little limited by how few there are. I'm going to add more.
  • RANGED WEAPONS - you can use these to attack at range. They feel a little OP so I'm considering adding an ammo system. in the future you won't be able to use these to attack enemies in tiles that are directly adjacent to the player. There will also be throwable weapons that are removed from your inventory once thrown.
  • CONSUMABLES - you know how these work.

NEXT STEPS

  • Hoo boy this was a heck of a task. The next steps will be wrangling this into something more coherent. I plan to:
  • Implement the equipment system
  • Add a rarity value to each item so you don't get the good stuff right away
  • Add more weapons and items
  • Implement new art and new monsters
