Project Jakutos is a Roguelike that I'm writing to learn both JavaScript the GitHub workflow. I've decided to use Might and Magic 6 as the model for this project.
current version: 0.4
The current master branch is playable directly on [GitHub Pages][reference-id-for-github-pages] [reference-id-for-github-pages]:http://maizure.github.io/jakutos/
Future: From January 2017 to early April 2017, I'll be tasked on a closed-source C project with a publishing quality ~5000 LOC deliverable. This means that my brain will be conceptually very far away from this project. But this isn't the end! While I won't be adding any new systems or gameplay elements, I will be refactoring and commenting the code on the master branch so I can pick this up in the spring. Keep an eye on the v0.5 branch for any subtantial changed between now and then. The roadmap below is still the goal.
##Implemented controls are as follows:
Arrows for 4-direction movement
M - Minimap (includes the whole MM6 main world)
+ and - -zooming in and out
A - Auto attack with best option.
1,2,3,4 - swap to that party member.
Right now, there is a default party with 4 different classes. Each has it's own attack spell and a bow for ranged fighting. All you can do right now is run around the world and fight randomly generated goblins. There's no way to heal yet. The party can die or go unconcious and you can't fight, but you can still move around on the map. Until the engine is fully developed, water is not an obstruction.
v0.4 branch in progress with quite a few more features.
##Tentative Roadmap
v0.5 - Character development, skills/levels. More monsters and better placement. Bootleg Bay
v0.6 - Internal dungeon development (procedural? maybe). Free Haven
v0.7 - Quest framework. Town interactions. Darkmoon, SilverCove, and Myst
v0.8 - Character creation. Blackshire, Kreigspire, Frozen Highlands
v0.9 - Content Content Content. Spells, Monsters, and Quests. Sweet Water, Eel Infested Waters
v1.0 - Open to suggestion :)
