Curse of the Azure Bonds build 1.0.17

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Build 1.0.17 has now be released. A quick fix release to solve a introduced bug in 1.0.16. Changes are:

  • Fixed the order of items in the shop, to be the same as original (after changes in 1.0.15)
  • Fixed Character creation class choosing screen
  • Made the new demi-human multi-class cheat actually work
  • Changed the handling of .dax files to improve the behaviour of original game running concurrently in DOSBox

There may be more bugs, so if you find any let me know… ether here or on the Google issue list.

Curse of the Azure Bonds build 1.0.16

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Build 1.0.16 has now be released. There  are three observable changes which are:

  • Added new cheat, to allows demi-humans to play any class
  • Fixed crash when you lose a battle (introduced in 1.0.15)
  • Fixed issue 30 , cast screen missing apostrophe in players name

But there has been a lot of changes under hood, related to how game code works.  I’ve restructured how lists of things are managed from Pascal linked-lists to native .Net lists.

There may be many bugs, so if you find any let me know… ether here or on the Google issue list.

Curse of the Azure Bonds build 1.0.15

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Build 1.0.15 is now available for your gaming pleasure.

  • The game now plays sampled sounds, so you can have that authentic gaming experience!  I even use a blend of PC Speaker sounds and Tandy 1000 sounds.  I’m moving towards the latter, as they sound way better
  • Also this Installer is actually playable, as build 1.0.14 was missing a .dll, and I wonder why nobody mentioned this….
  • Enhanced the ‘Dump Monsters’ debugging, it now dumps all monsters plus details shown in my monsters blog post, to a monsters.html file in the current working directory
  • Started working on decoding the affects and their meaning, to clean-up above monsters.html

Also a warning that the game-play may have been affected by the level of code-refactoring I have currently been undertaking, so watch-out, but feel free to report any issues.

Now I just need to alter my port, so I can start having a round robin Vs. battle between all the monsters to rank them. This will help with improving the AI (if you can call it that), which currently does some silly things.

Curse of the Azure Bonds – build 1.0.14

Friday, November 7th, 2008

A new version of the game is now available: build 1.0.14

This build, from a user’s perspective only adds a new cheat: to remove the race based level limits, that was requested by Pope.

I have been feeling bad about the status of the port recently.

Behind the scenes  I have been renaming and cleaning-up the code.  I have also started getting the project to build under mono, so it could be played on Linux or Mac OS X (the primary target of the two).

I’m torn between making it a stand-alone application, that looks native (as it presently is, but cross platform), or using Silverlight 2.0 and keeping it single targeted.
