Vaerydian

Vaerydian is an in-work Action RPG written in C# utilizing:

MonoGame - Graphics Framework
BehaviorLibrary - AI Framework
ECSFramework - Entity-Component-System based Game Framework
AgentComponentBus - Asynchronous processing framework for ECSFramework
Glimpse - UI Framework for MonoGame & ECSFramework
fastJSON - A Very fast JSON parser, used for driving the game with data
LibNoise - a C# implementation of the famous libnoise noise framework, used for procedural content

Vaerydian can can compile under both Windows (MonoGame WindowsGL) and Linux(MonoGame Linux).

When built, copy the Content directory to the build output directory and run the game.

Dependencies on Linux:

These are dependencies that I have typically had to double-check to install on most Linux distros. There may be others, but the error output of mono & MonoGame is usually good at telling you what is missing.

Mono 2.10.x
LibSDL-Image
OpenAL

Controls:

Start Menu

Click Buttons - start a new game, generate a world map, exit the game

New Game

WASD - movement

Enter - descend to next level based on current map position (i.e., generates the next map based on current map & position)

Others - some other debug commands in here... ;)

World Map

P - show precipitation map
ESC - return to start menu

Data

All data that drives the game is stored in

Content/json/

All files are the format of

filename.v

At this time I have no guidance for editing the files, so do so at your own risk. Nothing will permanently break anything, but you may want to back these up in case you forget to undo all your changes.

Enjoy!
