Thanks
HCBurner and
Pr0man for keeping up with the thread!
Some proof of concept stuff has been completed on the rewrite. Yes, we are rewriting Oni's entire game. It was an unfortunate choice that had to be made; the short of it is that the code base continues to change too much from version to version (including during letter changes!) to keep modding Oni's code. I've shown this off several times in the Expanded discord and both the team and the community have come to the same conclusion.
Does this mean it is a new game? No, and Yes. We are rewriting the original game in its entirety with some major changes and quality of life stuff for both devs and players. So the base game will still be Rogue-Like as you know it. We are also working on two! projects at the same time: Expanded mod will be a much simpler drop-in developed at the same time as the rewrite. The other project is the full DLC to Rogue-Like, Rogue-Like: Brotherhood.
A good amount has been done on all of this so far. And its kinda crazy but, the
art has been the
FASTEST thing in this whole project. A huge shout-out to our amazing artists: Shadow, Cheshire, Draconos, Pink, Sleepy, hcburner, czetwain, and our awesome community that just keeps posting stuff to us!
