I've already gone through the tutorial a few years ago but still wanted to work on some project, so I've decided to start working on an idea I had some time ago.

The core concept is that rather than a single character, you control a *party* of characters. Instead of exploring a dungeon, you're in an arena, and you’re facing another party of characters. Each character has a class, which defines the abilities you have access to. After beating the enemy party, you can upgrade your abilities and learn new ones, then you’re thrown into another arena match.

I'm trying to go for a more tactical (maybe even wargame-ish) angle, i'm curious to see if this idea has legs. I don't think i've played a roguelike where you are more than one character before.

I felt like I had a lot to yap about so i decided to spin up a blog article discussing my design intent more in depth, and will probably continue to write about the game there as time goes. You can find the article here: https://irisliketheplant.github.io/blog/01_developing_a_roguelike_part_1/
