Evening-Ritual

A terminal-based Java game inspired by Buckshot Roulette (by Mike Klubnika), featuring a strategic AI bot, randomized outcomes, and interactive text-based UI.

📜 Version History

  • v0.00.1-alpha & v0.00.3-beta & v0.00.6-beta

    • Focused on initial UI and core game logic, AI development, and basic mechanics.
    • ⚠️ The game is not playable; most core features were still under development.

  • v0.00.10-dev

    • ✅ First playable gameplay loop.
    • 🎞️ Introduces ASCII animations and experimental mechanics.
    • 🐛 UI is buggy and inconsistent.
    • 🤕 Poor UX — gameplay quality was barely functional.
    • ⚗️ Half-baked mechanics scattered throughout.

  • v0.00.20-stable

    • 🤯 Officially labeled “stable,” but ultra unstable and broken.
    • 💩 UI crashes frequently, animations glitch, and AI behaves randomly.
    • ⚠️ Features mostly nonfunctional or half-baked.
    • 📝 Named “stable” purely out of developer frustration—not actual stability.
    • 😂 A cautionary release for testing patience, not gameplay enjoyment.

  • v25.10.01-alphas

    • 🔄 Complete revamp of the game, rewritten entirely from scratch.
    • 🚀 Implements advanced features, modular AI system, and improved internal architecture.
    • ⚠️ Gameplay is not designed yet — stuck in Settings Menu development.
    • 🛠 Focused on creating a solid foundation for future releases.
    • 📝 Clean, organized code; playable content still pending.

🛠 Project Details

  • Written in plain Java source code.
  • No build tools like Maven, Gradle, or ANT used.

🔮 Future Roadmap

  • Two distribution builds:

    • Dev Build: First access to new features, may be unstable.

    • Convenient input handling system
    • Aesthetic, user-friendly text interface
    • Robust AI behavior and logic
