0.0.8

What’s Changed

Week 2 of 4 for the November Crunchless Challenge have brought many developments to the latest version of Shift!

Items and Loot

• Dungeons can be generated with items on the ground. These items are visible on the map.
• Players can interact with items found in the dungeon (pick items up, drop items)
• When moving through the map, the message log displays a list of what items are in the current space
• When killed, monsters will drop any items they are carrying. To make this interesting, monsters can spawn with items in their inventory.

Monsters and Behavior

• Implemented basic path finding functionality
• It is now possible to automatically move to a destination by clicking on the map
• Monsters can intentionally move towards targets now
• New monster behaviors: chase an opponent, wander between rooms, and retaliate against aggressors

Gameplay Enhancements

• Turn order is now determined by an initiative system drive by the new 'speed' attribute on player and monster characters
• Added a 'flash' effect to creatures that are attacked, with the amount of damage shown as well
• Created new terrain types and symbol set for forest maps

UI and Quest System

• Use modal menu overlays instead of sidebar menus. (Was confusing to switch between sidebar and the map, leading testers to feel "stuck" after using the menus.)
• Create UI elements for showing narration, dialog, and quest text
• Initial support for tracking quest objectives, and triggering effects when quests are completed
