Is this a part of the joke? If it is, I don't get it. Also, I don't understand why people post about their shitty non-roguelike games here. Stop fucking doing it.
sry man, didn't want to hurt your feelings
I understand it must be super stressful seeing other projects actually being successful.

Ah, thanks! It doesn't really aspire to have much "tactical" depth, it's more about seeing what kind of weird stuff you'll run into. I've never actually played WazHack and I didn't know about it when I came up with the concept, but I've been told it's very similar. 
The telnet issues are hard to resolve (even getting keystrokes portable across multiple platforms can be a problem). You might have better luck using a more sophisticated client such as PuTTY (it can run in telnet mode in addition to SSH).

Hi!
I've posted a couple of times about my game BASMENT DWELLERS. It's an epic, proc-gen, next-gen CRPG about killing monsters and taking their treasure. Not quite a roguelike but they have many things in common (turn-based, random map, permadeath, character progression, etc).
The game can be downloaded from http://www.happyponyland.net/basment.php or you can telnet basment.happyponyland.net 4000 to play online with shared scoreboard.
I've recently put this up on Steam Greenlight, mostly for laughs. If you have a Steam account, you can vote for it here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=696615043

I have set up a server where you can play BASMENT DWELLERS with a shared scoreboard and compete against others. You only need a telnet client (PuTTY works). Connect to basment.happyponyland.net on port 4000.

True, but it isn't designed to be played forever. There are a couple of interesting encounters that could throw you off, though. The late game needs some rebalancing, right now it doesn't really introduce any new challenges below level 10.
I'm working on a highscore system for 0.5, this should provide some replay value even if you have already mastered it.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / BASMENT DWELLERS 0.4
« on: June 15, 2013, 04:05:06 PM »
Hi!
I've released a new version of BASMENT DWELLERS. It's a very retro, minimal dungeon crawl. Not quite a roguelike, but what I imagine Rogue could have been like if early development had gone another direction.
You can get it from: http://www.happyponyland.net/basment.php

There can be short sequences as well, even down to a single step. I would like to have enemies appear in bigger groups, and a couple of finishing moves (such as a health increase or all-directional on sequence complete) to make it worth the risk of jumping in between them.
Breaking doors should make noise (and attract enemies), failure could damage you or at least slow you down ("You strain your leg!") - we'll see. In the next version it will require a strength roll (having a crowbar gives a bonus), so it's already much harder.

That's right: completing a damage sequence will rewind it to the first number. Doing something else than attacking mid-sequence will reset it to the start, including the initial waiting. I will probably remove the wait for unarmed attacks. There's still a piece missing from the system though: completing a sequence should not just do damage but trigger a special attack or action (this is where I will move stunning, wounding, etc).
The strenth aug doesn't give any damage bonus, only carrying capacity. For the next version I will (re-)add a general Strength attribute that will be used for carrying, breaking doors and maybe give a damage and throwing bonus at higher levels.
The boots were probably lead boots. They used to be cursed, but at least now you can take them off.
I think I have found the Lurker bug, so it should be fixed for the next version.
Gas masks prevent eating and drinking (and I believe they say so in the description). There are many descriptions missing though, I'll try to fill them out.
The next big addition is going to be gas that lingers for several turns, that should probably make gas masks and synthetic lung more relevant.

The numbers are the damage you will do with your next attack.
Alt+Enter should put it in full screen, it only scales to proper integers though (2x, 3x, ...). Maybe there should be an option for irregular scale ratios, but it really doesn't look very good.
Bleeding: First Aid ability or elixir, exoskeleton will make you immune. Maybe I should add a bandage item as well.

I made a mistake and the tool section of the tiles got offset by one... 
I knew about the inventory key bug but it seems I forgot to fix it. It should react to directional keys (already fixed this for the next version). I'm not sure about J/K, I might keep it as an option to use them for browsing but by default they should probably jump to index.
There's also the 'd'rop key, and - it seems I forgot to document this one entirely - you can press tab to bring up an item submenu.
I think I have fixed most of the scrolling problems now. The new inventory is designed as a hybrid that should work both for those that prefer index letters and those that want to browse freely. It will remain a bit experimental for yet some time but I should be able to find something that works for both camps. I personally find the new system much easier to navigate.
The new inventory can display item categories as well, but I disabled it before release since it got too confusing. Also there's the sorting - right now it sorts items that seem appropriate first, but I wonder if it should always sort items the same order and just jump to the most likely item.
There's a more in-depth discussion about this on the blog for those that care.

« on: January 01, 2012, 06:23:48 PM »What's the use of mechanical arms and yuck potions?
Mechanical arms: Enable the Push ability, +2 throw range (this should be displayed in the augmentation info).
Yuck potions: None, really! It's just to add more options for use-identify.

Would be nice if the inventory menus could be navigated with the arrow key.I have vague plans for this, but it's low priority at the moment.
Quote from: Legend
It would also be nice if the game asked you if you wanted to play again or quit when you die instead of automatically closing.This is also frequently requested but nontrivial to fix. I might have a look at it but no guarantees.
Quote from: Legend
I tried this as my tsl_conf fileIt might be the newlines that are causing trouble. In the latest version you can also use Alt+Enter to switch to/from fullscreen.Code: [Select]fullscreen
autocenter
forcegetname
But the game doesn't open when I do. I mainly wanted fullscreen.
It runs fine if I don't have the conf file, but I really would prefer to play fullscreen. Am I making the conf file right? Is it supposed to have * in front of the commands? Do they have to be on the same line?
