Other Announcements / Re: Do you listen to music when playing Roguelikes?

I'd be very interested in that list, I listen to the PSX Doom and Doom 64 dark ambient tracks that were available at the Doom Depot... It seems to be down for some reason, I'll upload a torrent of it.

Just noticed that he posted this on his website:

13.Jun.2010
Hello people. Just letting you know that there's a chance of 1.04 being released later this summer. A chance, not promising anything. I've been working toward the release a bit here and there, but there's still a lot on the to-do list and I'm not releasing it before the list is mostly clear. Plus, I'm busier than I'd like these days, having picked up a few new hobbies, and then there's the ever-looming real life... But there's hope. Most likely I'll hot (cold?) drop it on you when it's finished without any notice, or perhaps I'll call out for beta testers on RGRD if I don't have enough time to thoroughly playtest it myself. We'll see. Until then, have a good summer.

Do you have plans for any additional locations Roguedjack? Like sewers or subways? That would be cool.

Personally I'd stay away from any scripted encounters, I've always felt roguelikes should be near totally random -its so much more fun when something cool happens. 

Regardless I have one minor suggestion: The ability to mark locations on the mini-map.

Something else occurred to me... maybe you should have the option to attack other survivors. Obviously this would have some negative effects: possibly being killed, followers who don't agree would abandon you and so on. What do you think?

So far I've had some great games...  mostly involving me abandoning my followers to grizzly deaths...

I can't believe that the people I'm saving steal my wooden planks and then attempt to barter for my pistol with them. Its just rude. Any chance that you can attempt to give orders to your followers? You could make them barricade, break furniture, etc, etc.

Secondly, have you considered adding some sort of weather system? Fighting zombies in a snowstorm sounds awesome.

Keep up the great work.

It's depressing that those bank workers had to die because of all this crap...

I'm using a laptop, with a max resolution of 1280x800. The video card is ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 and my DirectX version is 9.0c.

Hey Roguedjack I'm still getting the same error, any idea what it could be?

This is the kind of game I've been waiting for... sadly I got this error (on Win XP SP3):

Could not create DirectX device
Program will now exit
