SSL certificate renewed. Off-topic subforum cleaned up.
I'm thinking on implementing some stronger measures for signing up, unless you guys are really looking forward to using services for essays or online casinos.

Well it was a 7DRL so, seven days 
I think I released an update afterward to support also Android phones, but it didn't take much more.

d'oh, that was caused by a misconfiguration on the smilies URL causing a mixed content warning. Should be fixed now.
Not sure about the epiphany thing tho :/ would have to download and check

I *think* we have always been using SMF? we just had a very baaad hacking attempt or spambot situation, or both, and I could no longer keep the original theme. I keep thinking on bringing it back, even if the current one is more _readable_, it just has no personality.

Programming / Re: Android Studio - anyone tried developing a rogueli(k/t)e with it?
« on: March 29, 2019, 09:32:12 PM »I've been hearing great things about Android Studio and looks like one can build games for Android quite easily.. was wondering if anyone tried developing a roguelite / roguelike with it.
I did a pretty small 7DRL for it, targetting Android Smartwatches. It downloads a crazy amount of dependencies, but last time I checked it was the "official" and more supported way to create native Android apps, so once that was done, and if you are familiar with IntelliJ it just works well.

Then again I don't recall what it uses for graphics. For something more elaborate than this small app, I would probably use libgdx or similar.
Makes me want to go back and develop in Java, but only for a little bit.

That's why I feel we should keep an open discussion about it, to be able to point people that, for instance, permadeath was and still is an important aspect of roguelikes. If we are open to talk about other games, we have a chance to inform their players about the history of the roguelikes and how their game ended up being labeled as a roguelike even if it lacked critical aspects of the traditional ones.

The message at the top has been updated to:
Guys I love traditional roguelikes as much as you do.

We welcome discussion of all subtypes of Roguelikes, including Action Roguelikes (roguelites) and procedural games with metaprogression.
You are encouraged to learn more about the Traditional roguelikes, and how they differ from often mislabeled modern games.

I'm not lumping together all these different games into a single genre, but rather recognizing that the elements they share are sufficient to provide interesting conversation material for people who play them.
I don't believe allowing discussion of variations to the classic formula will "kill the genre", in fact, this discussion is healthy so people never forget there is a Classic / Traditional style of roguelikes, their importance in history and that there are games keeping up more closely with their style that are being actively worked nowadays, expanding the genre in different directions.
As for the "roguelike mislabeling" issue, the most negative effect I've seen is on discoverability on platforms like Steam, it might be hard to find a traditional roguelike there, but there are alternate ways to do that, like using IRLDB, or querying for traditional roguelike in other platforms. Recently, devs have become aware of this, and have started tagging their games with the infamous rogue-lite tag.
