Witch Wednesday 1
Posted: October 21, 2010 Filed under: Game stuffs, Lottie's Dungeon | Tags: Lottie's Dungeon 8 Comments »yes, I know it’s thursday really, but I’ve been rather busy this week what with putting the game up for sale and figuring out this business stuff and all, I just wasn’t happy releasing the game as it was yesterday.
What’s in the new update then?
- – Sheep (see below).
- – Halloween outfit (cheat code will only display on the download page during this month)
- – Lots of inventory improvements.
- – Better map displays (now you can see where is left to explore).
- – Cheats! (enter them in the ‘config’ bit of the pause menu)
- – Option to automatically collect items (also in config)
- – New craftable items (also see below).
- – Tweaked the UI in a few places, its still temporary but now its usable at least.
- – lots of invisible fixes, especially inventory/item code.
Sheep!
These guys were a pretty random addition yesterday, and I finished them up this morning. basically, they are harmless, you can chase them around the level even. also, wool is flammable.
You’ll need the flamefield spell to do this, and this is now a spell you need an item to teach you. how to make it is listed below in the craftable recipes (but I know some of you are in a hurry, the cheat code is ‘FLAMEON’)
…little tip: dont stand next to a flaming sheep for too long. >__>
New crafting recipes:
- – Flamefield Pattern ( Ink x1, Blank Paper x1, Knickers x1)
- – Health Up (Knickers x5)
- – Hyperspace Credit (Gooey Glup x1, Rare Goop x1, Knickers x3)
- – Ink (Goop x2)
- – Blank Paper (Gooey Glup x2)
These recipes will probably change later on in development as I balance the game, and I’m currently using knickers where I would be using charmium the pink collectable things) but that hasnt been implemented in crafting yet. also some of these new items do things I coded this update: the health up gives you an extra health point, the flamefield pattern teaches you the spell, and the hyperspace credit gives you more inventory slots (courtesy of the hyperspace inventory company).
Get the update!
This version of the game is now available on the download page, (if you have bought the game and don’t have the link, email me and I will send you it).
if you have not bought the game, what are you waiting for? you wont be able to see these things in the free version till next week at the earliest. if you want this stuff now, go to the game’s page and hit buy now! 😀
I think my graphics card is really too old, as all agents (including witchie) are displayed black
Oh, and it would be nice to have more ammo! 🙂
@WIllem oh dear, that shouldn’t be happening at all, did it look ok in the web build? which version are you playing, the windows one or the mac one?
also, ammo is infinite, so I’m confused how you could want more…
If it helps when i played the web version at work (windows 2000 lol) and got all black.
Where’s the web build?
I’m playing the Windows version but on an old internet pc with an MX420 graphics card. I would be surprised if it supported OpenGL. 🙂
I’ll check the game on my mac also. If you can give me a link to the web build, i’ll test it there, as well.
the web build is the first link on this page, it’s the build from sunday though, so no exploding sheep.

Web build has the same issue here. I’ve sent you an email.
@willem, thanks, I’ve checked it out.
@Ben, you say ‘all’ black, did that include the environments?
My mistake, the enviroment was fine but i dont get any mobs or my the character or the dust that come sup when running. I am again on windows 2000 though and i dont think anyone would be playing your game on windows 2k so i would’nt think its too much of a problem :P. Just thought id mention it !
