By the way will there be fog of war like in Joltima and the TI-89 Calcrogue?

Yeah it's common in strategy games like Starcraft, but it's also in some adventure or RPG games. For example, Joltima, Blinded by the Darkness, Reo's RPG for the TI-Nspire, CalcRogue. FoW behaves differently in those games, though (except CalcRogue). In RTSes or in CalcRogue, once you visited an area the map remains visible permanently. Just not the units there.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been so insanely busy working that I've had a horribly small amount of free time  

For Chambers, I won't be implementing a fog of war. The only way that it would make sense would be for the "containers" to block one's view, which strikes me as equivalent to a treasure chest doing the same thing in a standard RL, which would be a bit odd. Other than that, since each room is entirely open (except for monsters and containers), I don't feel that a fog of war would lend itself well to this game. I originally considered doing a more full-blown roguelike with scrolling tile maps, etc., but I settled on doing one much closer to what you see here for a few reasons. The main reason is that, to be honest, I felt that it would be easier to pull off. This kind of allows me to set my sights on something realistic that I have high confidence that I'll finish. The second reason is that, considering the display, I wanted something where you could see everything that's going on at once. It is my hopes that this will place more emphasis on players thinking about their movements and item management. I know that I'm not the only one who falls into a trap of exploring too much rather than carefully planning my movements, leading to lots of YASD moments. I also felt that, considering this is my first RL engine, I wanted to keep it simple so that I wouldn't have to worry about implementing tons of stats until I get my footing a bit more. If I had larger maps for each floor, I would likely have to implement some kind of impetus for progression, such as the standard hunger system, "warmth" system in Frozen Depth, or sanity system in Infra Arcana.

Once done with Chambers, I'm not sure what my next project will be. However, at some point down the road I intend to try my hand at a more traditional roguelike, depending on how slim I can make an engine. I'll be the first to admit that I'm extremely old-fashioned and inefficient in a lot of my coding practices, so I feel like I have a lot to learn before I get to that point. When I see some of the amazing games that people put out and how small the files are, I get super envious  

Darn I like those graphics . The game layout is well done, same for menus. Glad it's still progressing

Wow, I somehow missed this entirely. X.X This is looking quite nice. Although I've never played a straight up rouge like, I have played games that have elements of rougelikes.

This is looking quite nice.

Wow, this looks pretty awesome!

Thanks!

Oh, by the way... if you are still in need of sprites I'd be happy to try to sprite some for you. Let me know what type of monsters or tiles you want and I'll give em a go.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I will need it or not yet. I keep getting distracted and adding more tiny things and tweaking, and I really want to redo the sprite drawing routine, so that might have to come first. I'm planning to keep most of the sprites that I have in the game at the moment, although there are a few that I think are quite ugly that haven't popped up in any of the screenshots yet. As soon as I'm in need of new / fixed sprites, you'll be the first one to know!
