Development Process & non-technical / Livestreaming a 7DRL

« on: November 22, 2013, 10:09:25 PM »

Hey all!

So I recently started idling in #rgrd again and came across SRD's "tvtropes game jam" that will be starting this weekend. I've been toying with the idea of livestreaming game development for a while, and I figure that this would be a great way to test out the idea. After some careful consideration of the various platforms, I've decided that for at least an hour a night during the game jam, I'll stream development on twitch.tv, just to see how it turns out.

Has anyone ever tried/considered streaming game development? Has it ever turned out to be a good idea?

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Crossfire con Curses

« on: July 02, 2010, 12:45:39 PM »

Hello everyone. I'm the silent idler from #rgrd who sometimes releases things. Sorry if this is the wrong thread to put this.

As a bit of a boredom project, I've written a terminal client for the Roguelike-like game Crossfire ( http://crossfire.real-time.com ). The aptly named 'Crossfire con Curses' can be found on my site ( http://isharacomix.com/downloads/project_cfcurses.html ).

I've been playing Crossfire with my brother for the past week using this client, and while it's a little quirky, I've had a blast using it. I can't stand the CF graphics or client, so I put this together. This is a not-serious program that I put together since I had the protocol document and nothing better to do with my time, but I thought I'd share it nonetheless. There's a Windows binary in the package along with the source code, but I have no earthly idea what it does.

It only works with CF version 1.50, and has a nasty tendency to bring about server crashes/hangs that don't happen with the official client (I hope to start writing some patches when I encounter these crashes to help out). I strongly suggest using this on a local server.
