Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / [ARRP] Fylish Island
« on: September 16, 2012, 09:51:21 PM »
For this year's ARRP (Annual Roguelike Release Party) I have decided to not do a ToME release, but instead release a new content for it, without requiring users to even download something!
Every 30 minutes for the one week the server will push a new zone, Fylish Island, automatically to all characters.
It is a level 20/25+ zone, with 3 levels, a custom lore and chat and a very very very special reward!
Have fun, and be sure to be logged in to get it!

A good UI IMO should be operable entirely with keyboard, entirely with mouse or a combo of both.
Some actions might be easier with some control, but the point is that in 2012 people expect a game to react to both. When I try a new RPG I instinctively look for the inventory, levleup, ... keys, while an other player might see the icons and click them. In the end my way may be faster, but if there was no icons to click, a good percentage of players would be lost without them even trying the keyboard commands.
Loosing players is never good.
