Off-topic (Locked) / Did anyone ever play Yoda Stories?

...it was a budget game for windows years ago, and was quite roguelikeish. It was quite enjoyable from what I remember but i'm sure it will have aged terribly.

I remember that each time you'd play it would generate a new mission based on one of a dozen different scenarios, but it would use different map pieces and stuff to make it slightly different.

a similar technique could be used to make a nice coffee-break roguelike for mobile devices... any takers? :¬)

Programming / Tile set project

« on: November 27, 2011, 11:05:06 PM »

Hello people,

I'm here to sell my ware's, well give them away actually.

If anyone was thinking of sullying their projects with some graphics then they could check out my blog.I've started to make a roguelike tile set and would love to get some feedback.

I've always preferred roguelikes with ASCII displays (a strange position fro someone with an illustration degree) because they're suggestive and evoke more mood than detailed sprites. But I've got to give it a go dont i? In the spirit of low tech I have opted for 8 by 8 tiles, which will hopefully act as pictograms - being clearly readable and representational rather than explicit. well thats enough pretentious waffle for one post, if your at all interested you can check em out here, like i said it'd be great to get some opinions.
