Temporus: Rogue

Explore space and search ancient ruins. Find artifacts and collect the data before being overrun by the local inhabitants.

About

Temporus Rogue is a rogue like sci-fi adventure. It was originally created as a test of some code but was reused for the #7DRL game jam. All new art was created along with new audio. Most of the internal code was gutted except for some basic movement.

The new art can be found here, made by Pete (@scutanddestroy)

How to play

The screen is broken up into 2 major areas. The HUD at the top and the controls at the bottom.

The HUD has the location on the left and your current goal on the right. You health and building materials are on the screen as well. SCRAP is used to build DRONES. You can find more scrap by killing creatures and robots.

The Controls allow you to interact with the world. 

Movement is controlled by touching the screen in the direction you want to go.

The DV system allows for the construction of utilities. 

• Dv.1 is a Flying drone that will pepper all enemies in a small area with light dmg. It is not very strong.
• Dv.2 is a heavy tank drone that fires strong weapons alone the XY axis only.
• Dv.3 is a non-combat barrier

Using the look command will give you information about where you are standing and if anything interesting is near you.

Combat is simple. Using the 1 and 2 buttons will set up for an attack. Hit the button, then a DIRECTION you want to attack in. 1 is a melee strike near you. 2 is a long range single line attack.

Some objects can be touched to interact with. This computer terminal will let you know it can be used, but some objects don't. Look for something unusual.

There are some creatures which are locked in a stasis field. At the moment you can either destroy them or find a way to free them.
