Hello there!
ZMAngband 0.7e is up for grabbing Some flavourful touches to the gameplay have been added, like i.e. noises from opening stuck/locked doors now send an acoustic alert to monsters/creatures around the Dungeons.
Lots of collectables to find, more and more monsters joining the ranks of enemies!

Thank you folks out there for the emotional support and ofc, for playing my Variant :]

Hello there!

I'm updating my Variant, thus giving it a new name "ZMAngband", no longer a tiny bird in Z-Angband's nest, but a grown phoenix that is taking the roguelikes' skies on its own.

Link to my itch.io updated, of course. Hot from the oven and ready for you my folks to take a bite from it! (metaphorically, ^^)

Thank you bunches to the Elders of The Rogue Temple for their wisdom. Much obliged.

Hello again my fellow Roguelikers! \m/_ (>.<) _\m/

0.6L update is available to grab while hot in my itch, link showing on my profile

It's awesome how far we be have come since everything (for me) began, back when I came upon OG ZAngband.
Oh, boy.
So don't let it for tomorrow, go grab it now, obviously completely free as it is intended to be for Open Source.

Enjoy slaying some Goblins! then slaying some Gnolls! or maybe even feature one yourself!
Thank you, as usual, people out there.

Hello there! Just stopping by to say that 0.6k update is already on my itch.io
Step by step, the Variant is getting closer to what I envisioned at the --very far now, beginning.
Both modes, ZAngband and ZAngnilla are hella enjoyable.
In this last patch, a nice --or rather nasty, pack of Uniques join the fray. Freshly curated from my night shifts scourging the deep blogs for ancient supernatural folklore of this old Europe.
Go grab it and give it a run or two! or a hundred

Thank you as always, to all my folks that made this possible. From Mangojuice and BluBaron, to Slashie, Julian D, Jake, BitFourSix and several more... Big thank you.

Hello there!
Important Update 0.6e has been uploaded to the itch.io page of the game :]
Comes with a major re-working of how the Dungeons are generated, solving a weird behaviour of the game which made the generation to skip levels when the player went further to lower levels. Now it works as intended, giving a standard (in the Angband family) progression.

Download it, unzip, start the executable and enjoy.
For a simpler way to start both modes, I provide to savegames:
-ZAngband, for a normal mode with wilderness and quests and towns... et cetera.
-ZAngnilla, for a simplified mode, with only one town and one Big Dungeon to explore.

It` new version release day!

Introducing the new 0.6a! This version comes with three completely new Races to choose from:
Kenku, Gnoll and Skaven. Each one has been swiftly worked on and they are ready to shake some grounds, for new strategies and exciting combos are awating the players.
Gnoll Warrior? the perfect mercenary! Skaven Rogue? The ideal stalker-oriented run! Kenku Warrior-Mage? The Way of the Sacred Katana!

Along with the new races, of course, come a nice list of new members of the classic DnD monsters. Snow Mountain orcs, Cave Ogres, etc etc no more spoilers!!! More objects to add variety of choosing. More added terrain flavourful additions!

Go grab while it`s hot from the oven! Play as you faved race and slay some of those cruel goblins!!
Thank you for playing, as always.
Anything regarding the game, you can find me here, on reddit, or even mastodon.social!!

Hello there my fellow ZAngers =]
Always keep an eye on my itch.io page, for even if I don`t post here in the Forums very often, the game is profusely updated, often and steadily.
Right now, from the first 0.4a Release, the game is currently running on the 0.5f patch.
Lots, literally lots, of additions since the first release. Lots of bugs smashed, plenty of gameplay improvements. Quite a handful of features that were not working properly on the original /src/ have been brought back to life, i.e. the group of throwing weapons, along with all the possibilities and strategies that having another group of ranged attacks put on the table for all races and classes to interact with.
Thank you guys for all the support, so far have been almost 40 downloads so far! awesome!
Happy exploring!
