Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Re: IVAN coolest deaths
« on: July 21, 2008, 06:11:10 PM »
Ate a corpse of a mutant ass, then polymorphed to a skunk, and the beaten to death by a carnivorous mutant bunny...
There goes my meteoric steel chainmail, angel hair cloak and so on... :'-(

Hello, fine folk,
I'm 14 and I'm from Lithuania. My favorite roguelikes are IVAN, ADOM and... Cracks and Crevices(dunno why, but I just like it).
Currently, I'm developing a roguelike called Stones&Dwarfs... it'll be in playable state pretty soon, and will have a couple of pretty original features...
My non-roguelike favorite games are UFO:Enemy Unknown (simply the best, play it now if you haven't played it yet), Diablo II and Starcraft.
I see pretty friendly people out here... and I already know the user beam from elsewhere.

Off-topic (Locked) / Re: Is a job and money really needed?
« on: July 21, 2008, 01:52:21 PM »living off the grid and homesteading is very very hard.
Hehe, not really, my cousin lives that way and has about half of the day free (of course, with the help of my aunt)
Your other statements do make a point...

(I'm only 14, and this might be my imagination going too wild, but...)
I've lurked here for a while and saw people being a "little" too busy with their jobs, so they can't make a single roguelike although they've been developing it for years. Recently, me and my MUCH older friend had a conversation about money and the need of it. During the convo, a thought popped up in my head - why can't we live "on our own", without any money - we CAN grow our own food, we CAN get water supplies, and we CAN survive without civilisation. However there are a couple of problems:
1. How to get the money for a plot far away from the city;
2. You need electricity to run a computer, and electricity costs money...
Well, the first problem CAN be solved-you can either save money for a long time, take a loan or wait till a rich family member dies and then spend the abandonment you get... (ok, the third one is least possible)
And for the second, you can buy a home sun-powered electricity generator.
Anyway, you can still take a part-time job then (or go hunting bears and then sell their skins), since you don't have to pay for food or water anymore.
So, is this actually a possible way to live or not?

I'd add some nonsencile skillz, like skateboarding or cycling.
OKOK magic would do, although I'd like it to be a rare skill which not everyone could get, let alone master.

My favorites would be Iter Vehemens ad Necem and Ancient Domains of Mystery (I like the first one more though). I just LOVE Ivan's graphics. Dunno why...
My In-Dev roguelike (which is in around the middle of development) even slightly reassembles IVAN...
