Battle Engine Devlog #1 - Introduction

In this first devlog post, I'd like to introduce Battle Engine, beng for short, an adventure game discord bot.

beng is based on a game from a long time ago, revived to bring back a text-based, rogue-like dungeon crawler you can play with your friends.

Setting up the game, everyone needs a user and a character,
which you can create with the following command:

.beng create
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You'll then receive a DM from beng asking what you'd like to name your character.

Providing your desired character name will create a user and character.

To check user status,

.beng user-info
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To check character status,

.beng info
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next it's also possible to look at the complete list available commands:

.beng help
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next devlog, I'll walkthrough starting an adventure and inviting your friends.

Battle Engine is brought to you by creators Jeff Secord (blaschko) and Matt Parke (munkymachine).
