Non Traditional Roguelikes (Action / Real-time) / Re: Demon Spore - tentacle spreading action horror roguelike

Seems like an interesting design. Do you have to survive a certain amount of time before breaking free from the smaller lab area or can you abandon the area right away?

Which sort of games do you maintain?

I little bit of everything. Anagramarama is an anagram game. Alchemy Quest is tetris/match-3 like game. Ostrich Riders is a Joust clone. Bt Builder is a reimplementation of the Bard's Tale Construction Set. I gave a talk about some of the games at LibrePlanet 2022. You can find a list of some of my projects at http identicalsoftware.com/games/computergames . If I stumble on an open source game that I feel is good or has potential I tend to fix it up.

I'd too untrustworthy for links still apparently so you will have to type in the identicalsoftware.com url and search for my Free Software Game Restoratiion II talk if you want to see.

I've been meaning to entry the #7DRL Challenge for several years now. Finally this year I managed to join, I had a lot of plans that were not possible in the 7 days but I managed to get the core game play complete. I write and maintain a lot of open source games. I package software for Fedora. I have tried some tabletop rpg publishing on drivethrurpg.

I wrote an article for gamingonlinux which listed some of the games I enjoyed from the 7DRL Challenge. I haven't played them all so this is not all the gem in this challenge.

7DRLs / [7DRL 2022][Success] Shallow Stone Solar

« on: March 26, 2022, 05:39:31 PM »

For Shallow Stone Solar, you play an orc in a mining company. You need to find enough minerals and get out before the bug kill you.

It is a roguelike version of Deep Rock Galatic. Or at least the most basic aspects of that game. It is missing many features like multiple enemies, weapons and minerals. It is network multiplayer.

It can be downloaded from dulsi.itch.io/shallow-stone-solar
Source code is available at: gitlab.com/dulsi/shallow-stone-solar
(I can't post external links at the moment.)

Great game. Initially I just went in circles kinda and didn't notice all the different terrain. Very nice.
