7DRL 2011 Challenge Entry Success - Magicko

Hey Hey - It's that time of year again!

The 7DRL 2011 swung around once more, and lo - the fobbah was once more frantically scrabbling to get his roguelike off the ground, starting the competition a day late!. But perserverence shone through, and behold, the fruits of my labour - Magicko - Tale of a friendly misguided wizard & his garlic immune friend.

You can download the game at the Magicko page.

In other news, will be making more updates to demonhunt soon - stay posted.

Demonhunt Update, KLEM, Arcade cab

Long time no update - Life is hectic like that sometimes.

I've kept myself busy with a few projects at the moment - Demonhunt has been put on hold again :(

However, there are some new features coming up in the next update that will be worth the wait:

• MANY new spells/abilities
• Rebalancing the midgame for a greater challenge
• More interesting monsters early/mid game
• New special levels
• New items/equipment
• Updates to the map generator - more level types/room types
• ANDROID PORT (yeah, i got a shiny new android phone and i can't wait to port this over hehehe)

In other news, I've been working on a new secret project: KLEM - Kiama-LLVM Emitter Module. The purpose of KLEM is to create a scala library that allows developers constructing compilers using Kiama to easily spit out LLVM IR, to complete the back-end compilation using LLVM.

I will most likely launch a new site for KLEM in the near future - stay tuned :).

Finally, i finished the arcade cab a while back - it's been a great time sink:

That will be all :). -Fobbah

Demonhunt, Arcade Cabinet and Risque - Battle for Hornsby

Taking my break from university, i've been working on three projects - Demonhunt is soon due for a major update, which is currently in the works - you can check out progress on the Demonhunt Plan Page.

Other new developmnets include my mame arcade cabinet, the fobbahcade, nearing completion:

And finally, i'm working on a simple strategy game based on risk, which i call "Risque - Battle for Hornsby". Some screenshots:

Demonhunt.Org

As of today i've launched a new domain for Demonhunt as i felt that project was big enough to deserve its own space on the nets :D -Fobbah

New Dweller Version

A new version of dweller - Bjorn Ritzl's roguelike for java enabled cell phones - is available

This tidy little roguelike was a big influence for me in developing DemonHunt, so i suggest you all try it. It's a great game to play on the train/bus/doctor's office/whatever...

He's also released a J2SE version to try on your desktop if you want to check it out before putting it on your phone - Click to launch the java web start launcher

Versions for cellphones available at the Dweller Wiki Page on RogueBasin.

Forums Online!

The forums are now officially open. Feel free to come on in to discuss Demonhunt, EFF, or anything Roguelikes in general.

Site Launch

I've purchased the domain, www.fobbah.com, and gotten hosting with my affiliate, Jason Gellatly (Check out his great little blog at http://www.jejg.net - He is known to rant at times, but he is filled with an entertaining level of spite and hatred for idiots. Good wholesome family fun.)

Currently, i'm using this site to store information about DemonHuntRL and Escape From Fobbahland. Other projects will spring up soon. Forums are not available as of yet, but i plan to install an appropriate bulletin board later this week for discussion of Demonhunt/Escape From Fobbahland

As always, keeping it drunk and surly, your pal - Fobbah.
