v1.6 final?
Thank you very much to all the players who have taken their time to try and play GodoRogue. Special mention to those who decided to make a donation. You have greatly helped this project and motivate me to continue working on new ideas.
Today, I am releasing a small update that adds a minor change and finally resolves those small bugs that were still lingering in the GodoRogue code. I would like to conclude the development of this project (unless a future bug appears, which I would obviously fix) to focus on new ideas and games.
I hope you enjoy GodoRogue as much as I have enjoyed programming it. Thanks and go for the Amulet of Yendor!
Added: Playing on a dark map halve your vision
Fix: Adjust score values for weapons
Fix: Short string when wielding weapons, to avoid UI bug
Fix: Throwing things to sleeping Xerocs blocks the game
Fix: Xeroc will not show sleep animation when they are mimic

v1.6
My apologies for releasing another update so close to the last one, but many bugs were reported on the forums and I just had to take the Sunday to fix them 
Release notes
-------------------------------
* Wishing for damage type immunities was bugged. Fixed.
* Added the Tigran race.

* Due to the above bug also the Strengthen Familiar feature, introduced in v1.5, failed to work sometimes. Fixed.
* Creatures that somehow enter up outside the level despite Unity's physics modelling will now teleport back into the level.
* Forbidding spells on an individual basis would sometimes not work. Fixed.
* Some processes were still running when the game was pauzed which could sometimes cause a choke-up when continuing. Hopefully fixed.
* Wish point cost of several wishes increased.
* Euphoria now gives a random amount of wish points and with a significantly reduced average.
* Some quest rewards were giving the player too much experience, especially late game. Fixed.
* Familiars and rare creatures now obey the same maximum spell level rules as players do.
* Spell levels you have given your familiar now also affect the corresponding finding chance.
* Spell levels beyond level 15 no longer increase finding chance (stays at level 15 value).

v1.2
New gameplay content in this new version; wishes and the associated deity, Euphoria! And on top of that some bug fixes!
Wishes work a little bit differently in TW2 than in TW1. In TW1 a wish had you enter a word or phrase and gave a certain probability of success. The chance of failure often offset the joy of being granted a wish, so in the sequel I opted for a more deterministic approach. Instead of wishes you will be given wish points and these can be exchanged for fantastical effects in a new Wishes screen. You can use your wish points as soon as you get them to wish for something small, or you can save them up for a huge impactful wish later on.
Release notes:
-------------------------------
* You can now also inspect powerups, items, shrines, altars, and traps in the Inspect screen.
* Spell descriptions now also show statistics for the next level.
* Prismatic Spray and Silver Fire spells now correctly show damage numbers in the Grimoire.
* Added the Wishes screen which can be used to select and prime wishes.
* Added Wands of Wishing of varying potency to the unique item pool.
* Added Euphoria, the Goddess of Dreams to the pantheon of deities.
* Rare creatures may now on occasion wield unique spells.
* Selecting unique spells which do not use incantations in the Grimoire would not select the spell for casting. Fixed.
* Added the Yearning Shrine.
* Perplexing Shrine, Mandelstam Root, and Moebius were handing out too much experience points. Fixed.
* Some quests had a negative experience point reward. Fixed.
* Quests where you had to eliminate X creatures would sometimes not register a kill, making the quest uncompletable. Fixed.

https://www.trianglewizard.com/Triangle Wizard 2 is the sequel to 2008's Triangle Wizard. Triangle Wizard 2 stays true to the gameplay of its parent but features updated graphics and a less obtuse interface. It is a realtime roguelite combining an ASCII character art style to represent creatures but normal graphical effects for spells and the environment. The player's character is a wizard represented by a triangle.
The main inspiration for Triangle Wizard, and thus Triangle Wizard 2, is the first iteration of Diablo. Like Diablo it features a deep dungeon delve through randomized levels, with obscure shrines and randomly generated items. The ultimate goal is to travel to the lowest level in Castle Everdoom and confront the Nameless One, an ancient evil whose influence is increasingly darkening the land (although alternative endings and goals are possible). Along the way the player will encounter many different monsters, traps, and bosses. If the player dies their corpse may return to haunt (or help) future adventurers.
There are many different races and classes to play. And in addition there is a advanced deity system with unique boons and curses. A player can further customize their character with gameplay altering talents. New in Triangle Wizard 2 is that race, class, and deity options slowly unlock during play.
There is a particular focus on interaction with the environment. Walls can be destroyed (sometimes revealing hidden rooms), water and lava can affect and be affected by magic, and knocking creatures into spikes hurts them, etc. There are also interactions between spells allowing one, for example, to counter or reflect spells.
Happy 15th Triangle Wizard Day everyone! It is hard to believe that the original game is already a decade and a half old. And with this milestone we also have the official release of Triangle Wizard 2. After 5 years of development, the sequel sees the light!
Written in C# and using the Unity game engine it is more modern, and releases on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Apart from various quality of life upgrades, it is mostly a faithful recreation of Triangle Wizard 1, but there is also some new content to discover!
Although I did a lot of testing, it is a new game, so there are probably still a few bugs. If you encounter any, please let me know! Also let me know whether the game runs fine on Linux and Mac. I do not have access to a Linux or Mac computer, so I am unable to test these builds myself. Finally, please report any frame rate issues, it is hard to determine system requirements, but I could release a build with reduced graphical demands if needed.
Happy (and good luck) exploring the renovated Castle Everdoom!

R 18.03
A user called 'Misc' recently alerted me to the following two things:
- Esoteric Priests of Dagon (Priests of Cthulhu) have an easy time maxing their unique ability by casting Dismissal on all items in a shop. (Which generates hate since R18.01.)
- If you kill a creature affected by a Malediction effect combined with the Binding of Isaac talent the walls of the dungeon might get alive and move around.
So in this new version these issues are addressed!
Release notes for R 18.03:
-Esoteric Priests of Dagon's ability capped at 50% hate.
-Loveliness gain from the Pax unique item capped at 50%.
-Fixed some typo's.
-Hate gained from dismissing store items capped at 15%.
-Killing an enemy under the effects of a Malediction with the Binding of Isaac talent will no longer make the walls move around.

v22.1.0
# Gameplay
##############################
# Backgrounds (classes)
- The Flagellant "moribund" status (low health bonuses) is now applied for a certain duration when taking damage that reduces health to 6 hit points or below (previously it was always active while hit points were below the limit, and ended immediately when restored above the limit). The reason for this change is to allow the player to utilize the effect for a bit even if hit points are immediately restored above the limit (e.g. when using the Shed Impurity spell, see below).
- Flagellants also start with a potion of vitality.
- For Flagellant characters, the number of turns spent is adjusted to a lower value (55% of the original value) when calculating score (Flagellants tend to spend a lot more turns, especially since they must wait every time they walk, so this is a compensation for a more comparable score).
# Traits
- The Galvanization trait only applies regeneration if hit points are lost from casting the spell (mostly/only applicable to the Shed Impurity spell, see below).
- Added unique Flagellant trait "Memento Mori", which raises the threshold of the moribund status to 8 hit points, and increases the duration of the effect by 50%.
- Renamed the "Death Sense" Flagellant trait to "Fervor".
- Treasure Hunter increases items spawned on each floor by 1, instead of 1-2. See also general change to number of items spawned below.
- Improved the Survivalist trait: "You cannot become diseased, only half your wounds count, rounded down (i.e. number of wounds are halved when calculating combat, hit point and regeneration penalties, slower walking speed happens at 6 wounds instead of 3, and you die from 10 wounds instead of 5)".
- Healer is no longer a prerequisite for Survivalist.
# Map generation
- Added a new special level
- When the monsters on the "end level" (no spoilers) becomes aware of the player, a message is printed (to reduce the need for meta knowledge).
- On the Egypt level, when the player is within a certain distance of Khephren, all monsters on the map become aware of the player. A message is printed when this happens.
# Terrain objects
- Hazy Mirrors are now colored gray on the minimap when they have been activated.
- Hazy Mirrors are now also detected by the magic searching effect (the Clairvoyant ability).
# Spells
- Added spell "Shed Impurity" - a unique spell for the Flagellant background, that they start with. The spell lowers hit points to the limit where the Flagellant receives bonuses for having low hit points, and if enough hit points are lost, then some status effects such as poisoning are cured.
- Added a new spell that heals other creatures, available only to monsters.
- The Transmutation spell is now "tenebrous" (temporarily forgotten when cast).
- Reduced the duration of the blindness effect that Light spell causes at higher levels, and increased the spell cost from 2-4 spirit to 3-5.
- Changed Control Object max distance from 2/4/6 to 3/4/5 (for basic/exptert/master).
# Items
- Reworked the Incinerator, it is now called the "Morphic Blaster", and is a Mi-Go weapon that works more like the Electric Gun.
- Potion of Descent can now be used on all levels until "the end" (no spoilers), previously it only worked until a few levels before the end of the game.
- Reduced the weight of spike guns.
- Added a new artifact.
# Monsters
- A few monsters wait for a turn when they see the player and are aware of the player. This only happens once, until the monster loses awareness again. It is intended to avoid some unfair instant deaths by allowing the player a chance to act first (for example Cultists and White Spiders have this behavior).
- White Spider attacks have 20% chance to paralyze instead of 50%.
- Reduced hit points of Ghosts (mainly to allow Flagellant players a better chance to counter them with the Thorns spell)
- Pickman spawn from level 10 instead of 6, and is somewhat rarer.
- Pickman starts with 2-3 Ghouls instead of 4-5.
- Byakhee spawn from level 8 instead of 6, and can only spawn in groups from level 10.
- Mummies can now speak a phrase when they become aware, to alert other monsters.
- When Major Clapham-Lee "calls forth his Tomb-Legions", the summoned monsters now wait a turn instead of acting immediately.
- Tentacle Clusters can spawn randomly on the map (not just from spell side effects etc), although somewhat rarely
- Many updates to the "hound" monsters (Fire Hound, Energy Hound): added more types, added sound effects, changed a lot of their stats.
- Monsters that "breed" (i.e. mold) will not spawn new monsters if the group size is above a certain limit.
- Added more monsters
# Misc balancing
- Reduced XP gained from seeing "terrifying" monsters from 10 to 8, and reduced XP for "mind shattering" monsters from 20 to 15 (rationale: there are more monsters now).
- On average, one less item is spawned on each floor in the mid game (10-19), this is intended to avoid players winning with a huge amount of items in the inventory, without making the early game harder or making exploration less rewarding in the late game. See also Treasure Hunter change above.
# Other changes
- In the game over summary screen, all items are shown with their identified names in the inventory section.
- In the item knowledge section of the character screen ("C" or "@"), the real names of all identifiable items in the game are shown, so it is now possible to know exactly which effects an unidentified benign potion may possibly have, for example.
- Removed the item knowledge section of the game over summary screen.
- Added hint popups with info about status effects, shock level, kicking braziers, and kicking statues.
- The "stagger" messages are now more specific, and describe why the player is staggering ("My wounds cause me to stagger.", or "I stagger under the weight of my carried load.").
- A warning is printed when going over 100% carry weight.
- "Shock" is referred to as "mental shock" when picking background and traits, since it could be confused with some type of shock damage (and this is probably often the first time a new player encounters this term in the game).
- Added info about kick hit chance in the monster descriptions.
##############################
# User interface
##############################
# Graphics
- Added unique player tiles for each weapon that the player can wield (39 new tiles in total), thanks YARD and Hal from the IA Discord channel!
# Sound
- Added a sound effect for walls collapsing ("Suddenly, the walls collapse!").
##############################
# Fixes
##############################
- Fixed a bug where creatures (e.g. the player) could get knocked into impassable terrain (such as walls), if they had physical damage resistance.
- Fixed a bug that caused interruptions of longer player actions (handling armor or using the medical bag). The problem was that status effects that interrupt the player (fainting, burning, entangled, stuck, etc) would interrupt regardless of which creature it was applied to. The effect of this was probably most often noticeable when monsters outside view got stuck in mud.
- Viewing information about known spells while picking a new trait was handled poorly if the player did not know any spells.
- In the inventory section of the game over summary screen, only the plain, single item, names were used (e.g. "Throwing Knife"). Now plural names are used correctly (e.g. "6 Throwing Knives").
- Shock from casting domainless spells (Exorcist unique spells) was not included when showing cost from casting learned spells in the character screen and game over summary screen.
- When monsters opened a door, the opened door was always updated in the player memory even if they did not see the door being opened.
- Fixed some cases where redundant sound messages were printed when handling doors ("I hear a door open. I see a door opening.")
- When kicking statues while blind, the sound message would never be printed ("I hear a crash.").
- The Purge spell description now also includes mirrors in the list of objects it can destroy (it could already destroy them but it was not described).
- Crimson Passage also gave a free move when it ended due to hit points being too low (now it only gives a free move if it is possible to "pay" the hit point cost).
- And more bug fixes...

https://www.trianglewizard.com/Several things to report in this update:
- Process on Triangle Wizard 2 has been steady, looking good for an October 27th release!
- The old website will no longer be updated. Apparently it has not disappeared as I initially assumed, so I'll leave it up for now point to this new website.
- During the development of Triangle Wizard 2 I have been reading the code of the original game quite extensively, which have led to a number of small bug fixes. These have now been bundled in a new version for the original game! The download link can be found in the download section, please let me know if the link breaks!
Release notes for R 18.02:
-Priests of Stoutheart no longer lose maximum health upon leveling up (only the curse of Stourheart now does this).
-Holy water reduces death damage to creatures immersed in it.
-Unholy water reduces holy damage to creatures immersed in it.
-Light of the Avariel now correctly increases Solar Flare's light radius instead of reducing it.
-Solar Flare always caused stun. Fixed.

Lapis Gate
This update implements some specifically requested features while going over some content and adding some too (trying to always add content (at least more prestige classes) every update as a rule). Wanted to add a unique ability-having starting item to all the classes to make them at least equivalent in that way too, so that's been done. Really appreciating the bug reports and deeply enjoying the many win and death screens. Thank you! As always this update does about half of what I wanted (this mentality is what slows it down to being with) but more is coming, steadily, down the path...
General
starting items with abilities now have a purplish icon in the start menu
you can now right click / hold down right click to automove in-game (in menus it still just closes the window)
Familiars no longer take summons slots
now also shows the sprite of each item to be found in the next land
Achra now always provides at least 2 lands to choose from for your path (not enough items to do this in the Void yet)
Added uncommon Lapis Gate, Brass Temple and Jeweled Crypt lands, lots of treasure, single floor, dangerous enemies from the void (tangential result: more total items are in the world)
you can now view all powers and prestige classes in a window accessible from the start menu
Hero
Ihra reworked, now simply limits enemy Hits to 75% of max life
Druid summons are now all types of snake, staff deals 50 poison damage to closest enemy on summon
Warlock Staff now summons 3 Bleeding Dead on entrance
Mubarizun Hood grants evasion on attack
Zealot now has a Hood and an AOE cudgel, Hood summons Fanatic familiars on entrance based on fully charged prayers
Abdi's turban now cleanses Sickness, Corrosion and Doom on prayer
Amir's pilum now increases the attack of all allies by 10 on-attack
Gala now has a shield, staff deals Psychic damage to attackers equal to 5% of the attackers' max life
the starting options in general need a larger pass and perhaps further expansion...

Obedient Ice removed, damage bonus added to Cryomancy, Cryomancy no longer does damage but repeats Freeze application per level (like Morbumancy), cost reduced

Angiok now instead deals Ice damage in a path on apply freeze, WIL * 10

added Mesmer, applies extra Repulsion, applies Repulsion on stand still and on dodge, Repulsion grants +10 dodge per stack and deals its damage in a path

v7.1
Hail Adventurers,
The major feature of this release are spills which are temporary environmental effects. The types of spills are blaze, freeze, electricity and steam. Spills are created from a number of sources including spells, items, entities, traps and barrels. A spill occurs in a square for a short period of time and applies continuous effects. Elemental effects also have interactions such as water on lava creates steam.
Adamantine material has been introduced. The new adamantine weapons and armour are expensive to buy but they can be enchanted up to +7. There's also the adamantine golem which has huge defence and life but no attacks; it follows you around just to obstruct your path.
The shroud tile is now drawn to indicate when there are more squares to explore. This is a subtle but important change because it resolves a graphical ambiguity: is this a dead-end or is this a corridor that hasn't been completely explored?
Staff weapons have been rebalanced to give a defensive bonus. Sabres now deal double damage while mounted, with respect to them being traditionally a cavalry weapon. All animated features are now mountable (eg. bed, fountain, etc). And last but not least, throwing a fish at a seal will charm them
There are many other quality of life improvements, rebalanced mechanics and updated tiles which are detailed in the in-game Help > Updates screen.
Summary of major changes since the previous public release:
new mechanic: spills.
new artifacts: Brumstyk, Miserus.
new material: adamantine.
new items: sabre, battle staff, adamantine plate mail, 12 adamantine weapons.
new entities: adamantine golem.
new settings: instruct each character, disable mask animations, disable swipe gestures.
shroud tile drawn to indicate unexplored squares.
