Once #BarrenPlanet had been tested it was time to launch it into the world, this being April 2023. I've launched three projects since, maybe four by the time you read this, and the process hasn't changed much. You can read about the launch process in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/201/barren-planet-out-into-the-world #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The Barren Planet title screen, the first thing a player sees when they launch the game. This is a 3D render of barren terrain bearing a few of game game's most iconic units: the Mining Base, a Gun Platform, a couple of Ground Rovers and a few Hoverbugs. This image is used in full colour for the manual cover, but is here reduced to the four-colour palette for the CGA title screen.

The Dagger is a small, cheap blade weapon for stabbing enemies. The damage caused to enemies is based on the Agility of the player character. Being a basic weapon, daggers in the weapon shop are always identified for enchantments and curses, so you don't have to worry about your first weapon being cursed. But a Dagger in the dungeon might need closer inspection. Get The #ChambersBeneath from https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Although Yaneve the Warrior could handle a Sword, there were none in the weapons shop. So Yaneve chose this handy dagger instead. She'll make do with the dagger till there's a decent sword in the shop. Her dagger is enlarged in the inset.

The Necromancer is the final enemy in #Ossuary. He is the cause of all the chaos you've battled through. Unlike spectres and daemons, he is a living human and is vulnerable to blades, although his spells can blast you to pieces very quickly. He will not chase you like other monsters, he'll wait for you to come to him. If you kill him, then you will keep your gold... and your life! You can download the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Keen-eyed viewers might notice that this is a different hero from the earlier posts in this series; it seems that using the wand to fight daemons was a fatal mistake. This new hero has an intelligence of 11, however, so the wand and amulet are the best combination both for daemons, and for the necromancer who is enlarged here in the inset. Note how the inventory is full of potions, many of which will be needed for the final battle with the necromancer.

Daemons are spirits of the underworld, the strongest monster in the game apart from the Necromancer. Blades bounce off them, so defeat them with scrolls or the magic wand. In the final levels, you might want to try avoiding them altogether if possible, to preserve your life-preserving healing potions for the final fight.

Daemons appear at level 20. Our hero's use of the wand is probably unwise here, because intelligence hasn't increased for a long time. The banish spells in our inventory would be a much better way of dealing with the daemon, who is enlarged in the inset.

The currency of the game, gold Coins found in the dungeon can be stacked in the inventory, up to 16 coins per slot. They can be spent in the shops, or "cashed in" to add to the player's credit.

Testing #BarrenPlanet wasn't an afterthought. After more than two years of development, I needed to make sure that the game worked. Sure I could put patches online, but this is a 1980s style game, and I wanted to go with a 1980s approach of getting it right before launch. I discuss the testing process in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/200/barren-planet-putting-it-to-the-test #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga

In the absence of any image specific to testing, here's a debriefing from one of the battles from First Landing, the campaign supplied with the game. The Nuvutech player has apparently annihilated the attacking Avuscorp forces, which are therefore nowhere to be seen.

Spectres in #Ossuary are spirits through whose ghostly forms normal weapons pass without harm. They can only be destroyed with a wand or a banish spell. Heroes used to fighting with a blade will need to keep a scroll handy, unless they are learned enough to make good use of the wand.

We meet our first spectres on level 15. Our hero's intelligence isn't quite good enough to deal with spectres using the wand without taking too much injury, so we've opted for the banish spell instead. These have an approximate 50% chance of defeating the spectre outright, but there's also a small chance that the scroll will crumble to dust on failure. The spectre is enlarged in the inset.

A lot went on in the 2½ years it took to develop #BarrenPlanet. Planning, the creation of a wargame library, the coding itself, and building the content for the supplied campaign were all major phases in that time. I talk about this in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/199/barren-planet-the-process #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The campaign definition file for the First Landing campaign. One of the major phases of development was building this content. Each of the sixteen battles had a briefing for each side, a victory debrief for each side, and a defeat debriefing for each side: a total of six short documents for each battle: 96 in all. This added to all the battle details like the map and unit disposition, and the graphics for the campaign, was a lot of content.

In centuries past, when the land was often at war, many of the citizens buried in the #Ossuary were brave warriors who had fallen in battle. The necromancer has reanimated their bleached bones, and now they wander the corridors and chambers, mistaking the living for their enemies from days gone by. They still draw strength from their tarnished sword and shield. You can download the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga

On level 10 we start to find skeletons. We also found an amulet on level 8 or 9, which has changed up the combat arithmetic again. The amulet, like the wand, adds a +2 bonus to intelligence, and makes that the stat used for defence. So using the wand and amulet together provides a +4 bonus for both attacking and defending. We did also pick up an iron shield, which adds +4 to defence. So the hero's best options are either using wand/amulet for 12/12 attack/defence, or sword/iron shield for 11/13 attack/defence. We've chosen magic to fight the skeletons, which are enlarged in the inset.

The feature list of #BarrenPlanet, while it never spiralled out of control, was one of the main reasons it changed from a 1-month jam project into a major 2½ year project. And I think the game is all the better for it. PBM play and a better computer player than its predecessor were well worth waiting for. I discuss the features I added in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/198/barren-planet-the-features #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga

A screen shot using Barren Planet's monochrome option, which displays the graphics in 640x200 monochrome, with dithered patterns replacing the colours. The game's "Remote Turn" screen is shown, where turn files received from a human opponent are processed, and the opponent's moves played back. PBM mode was one of the new features of Barren Planet.

Cadavers are the decomposing bodies of citizens who hoped to enjoy a peaceful burial in the ossuary, but who have been reanimated by the necromancer. Now they are dangerous foes to the hero.

On level 8, cadavers start to appear. Our hero found a sword back on level 5 or 6, but also levelled up their intelligence to 8. Continuing to wield the wand adds a +2 bonus to intelligence, providing an offensive strength of 8+2=10. But wielding the sword adds a +4 bonus to attack strength, giving an offensive strength of 7+4=11. So it makes sense to switch to the sword to attack the cadaver, who is enlarged in the inset.
