LoJam 2024 notes:

• IMPORTANT: some notes on the web browser version:
  • It can take a few minutes to load without giving a lot of visual feedback that it's actually loading!
  • pygbag targeting pygame to Web Assembly is basically black magic to me and I don't fully understand it. Anyways, I think it's still a fairly new project, so if you experience any issues with the web version on your OS or browser (performance or otherwise), let me know and I can try to get you a build to target your system.

This game utilizes my existing custom WIP engine called RLEngine. Some of the features my engine provided before the jam:

• Input management
• Complex turn-based game state management
• Complex entity state management
• Map management
• Animated entities
• Pre-made widgets
• Inventory and Skill management
• Pre-made effects

Tools/Libraries Used:

• pygame
• pygbag
• Aesprite
