Yay!
Thanks NON. Died got in 5 games so far tonight. I still suck, but still having fun dying. 

EDIT*
I have to say that IA is one of few roguelike games, when played in ascii, that really gives the feel of a dungeon. There is a variety in each dungeon level that makes each one genuinely eerie and foreboding. The variances in color, wall types, decorations, there is even the floors that just adds such a nice flourish to the games atmosphere.

Is there a picture of the t shirt?

I'm actually in the area and missed it last year (I didn't know about it until after the tickets were no longer on sale). I really hope to make it out this time.

Is there a list of confirmed speakers/activities yet?

Gameplay now is very hardcore.

Yeah it is. I've always found it tough myself though.

I think part of it is due to the new experience system. I like it though, because it is less grindy. It adds a lot of tension and atmosphere in that there are fewer, yet tougher monsters and heavily encourages exploration.

I also like that monsters are fought primarily for the hopes of looting something useful, or because they are blocking your path to exploration,  rather than simply for xp. It's more realistic too and fits with the theme better I think.

I'm having a blast with the new build. The fewer, yet stronger enemies makes each level pretty tense and un-nerving.  The chains scared the bejezus out of me when I first stepped into them!

I can't quite grasp the new xp mechanics though. I tend to skip the intro level now since killing the wolves reaps no real benefit anymore that I can see. It takes quite a while to level up for me. I can't seem to figure out how to optimize experience gain other than reading every manuscript and coming across the free xp monoliths. I tend to mostly avoid enemies now. I've only reached xp level 2 so far once. Made it to dungeon level 6 so far as my best.

I still suck at the game though.

Yet to find the mace so far. Can't wait for when I do though!

p.s. I miss the tombstone, tree, moon, spider web ascii end screen.

Hey NON. I didn't get to try the version I originally saw which said it was 64 bit. But just downloaded and tried the x86 version that is now on the page and it seems to work fine. Thanks. And yeah, I have xp sp3.

I saw the announcement and got super excited after a long day at work.

But there doesn't seem to be a win 32 binary 

Any chance to get a 32-bit version that will run on win xp for your biggest fan???

There is a pretty decent western themed roguelike for android called Gravebound.

Do you know if your hardware support DX9? That's the minimum spec of Unity3D. It does sound like you're struggling with the text shader or something like that.

Yeah. I have dirext x 9c
