Hello roguelike community, this is Felixcat here, and I hope some of you know me. I'm here to announce the opening of Saryn, Troyminator and my blog, The Ascii Dungeon. It's a personal and friendly blog that comes from fellow players and enthusiasts, and will contain reviews, along with other information or rants you might enjoy. Please go check it out and drop a comment if you feel like doing so, feedback is more than welcome!   http://theasciidungeon.net/ (http://theasciidungeon.net/)
Enjoy!

Looks excellent and wish you the best of success and a tremendous amount of columns.  Glad to see things are at least set to move forward as stars align on Xenocide since the Dev Google Group topic and a bit of email you and I had (I think it was you...)

Owing to time and order of events in terms of me acquiring skills, odds are I'll be inclined to also help out in some forms or fashions.  Hopefully some other characters will emerge from the woodworks to lend helping hands.  Might try the Roguebard folks on the music side for a start meanwhile?

Edit:  LOL, good grief this is pretty well the exact thing I said in our gmail convo.  This really isn't my week!   :-[

yeah, haha, but I still appreciate it. I'm hoping to free up some time soon as well, but I can't make any promises!

Thanks for the reviews! You would be happy to know there is a new version of MetroidRL frozen in my HDD since 2007 (I started working on what would later become Pixal just when I was about to release it). You can see some screenshots here:

Ah, I saw that! I was pretty excited, although disappointed it wasn't released :P. Do you plan on continuing the work? (also on a side note, on my new 64 bit Vista home premium computer I can't play many of slashie.net's earlier games, I hope this will be fixed in the future!)
