Interesting. As a side note, it's my impression that most people would consider the Mystery Dungeon games proper roguelikes nowadays. So the terminology has shifted a bit over the years.

Temple of the Roguelike / Security warning when entering temple forums

« on: June 15, 2018, 09:17:11 PM »

I'm getting a security warning when I access the forums (not the blog) lately. Firefox and Epiphany requires me to press an extra button to proceed, because

This does not look like the real https://forums.roguetemple.com. Attackers might be trying to steal or alter information going to or from this site.

Just thought I'd mention it

I keep bumping this thread I just posted on the blog about January's development. I'm implementing a new system for wounds, and have been making some changes to the UI as well. Here's a shoddy gif of how it's looking at the moment:



I've gotten a very bare bones quest in place. Apart from a bit more content, the most important feature I need to add before next release, is a system for long term resting. So #12 is on the horizon, definitely

Congrats on the little one, Slash. It can be combined w/RL dev[1] I have two in elementary school, but am more or less as much of a weirdo/bohemian as I was ten years ago.

I think it's mostly a question of taste and habit what each individual prefers. I go with Linux all the way, personally.

Personally had a relatively crappy year, lacking in health, money, creativity and discipline. On the RL side of things, I think LoSt saw a single release. But the next version should come within the winter months, with some nice additions. Well, well, hoping for a better 2018 for all

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Re: Doryen/The Chronicles of Doryen/Doryen Arena/pyromancer? What's the deal?

« on: November 23, 2017, 08:50:29 PM »

I don't think there's a publicly available playable version.

Who cares then? It's like talking about Kaduria and wondering what kind of combat system it has. What is the point?

For Kaduria, sure. For tcod, a number of reasons could be listed, like historical interest, learning from past design experiments, etc. How is the combat system in Kaduria, by the way?

As always,

PS. For what it's worth, I never played tcod, but remember it always looked very pretty in screen shots, especially the generated worlds.

I see PS4 is getting a remake of Shadow of the Colossus, a game I was always curious about. I'm not much of a console gamer myself, though. The kids have a used Wii, which seems to have some quality games, but I barely use it except to join them in the Mario Olympics every now and then.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: ADOM 2.3.8 released to the general public

« on: November 12, 2017, 12:41:42 AM »

Very exciting news. Congratulations on the release. ADOM remains the crème de la crème in the history of games overall.

Ok, this IMHO warrants a new posting

Well, updating old topic would boost it to the top in the same way as creating the new one. Lots of devs maintains the one topic - it makes Announcements section regular and systematic.

Also, no need to double post (to the "major roguelikes" section), Thomas
