Now that the holidays are over I am getting back to my main big project, Underworld...well, sort of. I found that I am a bit weary of roguelikes so I decided to transform Underworld into a classic CRPG. This means that a name change was in order, since the game will take place in a large world with different locations, dungeons and such, rather than exclusively within a dungeon.
While thinking about it, I went back to my very first roguelike called Deep Deadly Dungeons, The Search for the Crown of Alegare. I am going to use that theme in this game, (finding the 7 Stones of Power and the Crown), so the new game will be called The Crown.
The first order of business for this game is building some development tools, such as a map editor, so I am in the process of building these tools. By having some tools to help create the game, I can expand the game with add-ons and mods, and let other people do the same. Once the tools are finished, or mostly finished, I will begin working on the game proper.
I will have more info on this as I progress.
