I hope we can share some of the conversation traffic with usenet.
I will do my best to keep this website going through the years, and I hope we wont let it die. I am planning to make regular weekly backups, so our info isn't endangered.
@Karry: I hope all crawlers (and *banders, nethackers and adomers) get into this website! the more traffic we have, the more likely it will be for new roguelikes to be noticed. If needed, there will be single Crawl board so the rest of games' discussion is not choked, but only time will tell is this is needed.

Temple of the Roguelike / The Codex of The Temple - Rules of Behaviour
« on: May 15, 2007, 07:40:24 PM »
Rules
1. Respect
1.1. Discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, or religious/spiritual beliefs will NOT be allowed.
1.2. Be respectful of the opinions of the other posters; if you disagree discuss in a civilized manner, and never resort to personal attacks.
1.3. The forums are open to the discussion of all subtypes of Roguelikes, including traditional turn-based roguelikes, action roguelikes ("roguelites") and, in general, procedural games with meta-progression. The debate of "what a roguelike is" has gone for ages, don't think you hold the ultimate truth about it. Do not bash people if their definition doesn't fit with yours.
2. Writing / Formatting
2.1. Make your best to write correct English, use punctuation marks, take your time to check the spelling. This is a turn-based world, there's no need to hurry
2.2. Do not deliberately make your posts inaccessible or hard to read (for example writing in ALL-CAPS, excesive formatting or "l337 writing")
2.3. Do not use foul language
3. Profiles
3.1. Images in signatures may be fancy in other places. Not here
3.2. Avatars are cool, but please keep them in context, do not use sexually explicit images and/or anything else that could be generally disliked. If in doubt, ask your nearest moderator.
4. Content
4.1. Discussion of topics unrelated to roguelikes, such as politics and religion is not allowed.
4.2. Advertising your roguelike is allowed, limit your promotion posts to 1 per week and keep a single thread for all your updates.
Moderation
Moderators at their discretion are enabled to proceed as follows:
Executive Actions
Failure to comply with the above runs will result in warnings and ultimately a permanent ban if your behavior continues.

Let's track the genroguelikes* in active development
Anyone has other projects to add?
* Genroguelike: Next generation roguelike with lots of exciting features. Projects are hard to handle, easy to promise heaven, but try to get there with a roguelike
- Lands of Elderlore seems promising (http://www.elderlore.com/)
- Dwarf Fortress (adventure mode) has a pretty aggresive list of planned features (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html)

I installed it, .NET was not a requirement, unless the installer it installed it silently, which I doubt
I only gave it a quick play, but the premise seemed interesting... a prize for the first person to post a winning post here!

Programming / The "How did you get into roguelike development Thread"
« on: May 14, 2007, 01:28:24 AM »
How did you get into roguelike development?
I remember I was surfing the web for a new RPG to satisfy my needs after destroying all Final Fantasy games when I found ADOM... after playing some not very sucessful games I decided it was time to make my own... this matched with the time when I was learning Java, so it was a perfect mix up. After some failures and some rewrites I finally got into what seems to be a good path
What about you?

Well, eventually I may have to count with some people to help me post about new releases. I think I can handle it for now 
For now, if devs post about their releases on the thread I only have one place to look at and thus mantainance would be easier.
Thanks for your suggestion

I think that may get a bit out of control... however, I will create a sticky topic here so developers can post about their games and I will automagically post about it
Keep suggestions comming people!
EDIT: Later on, an individual board for announcements was created
