« Last post by Jose Machete on July 29, 2025, 10:20:02 AM »Hello there!
Recently updated to 0.6g version! Comes with couple minor bugfixes and some other minor gameplay improvements.
Already working on the next, which is going to be a necessary re-balance of the Inventory.
As always, thank you big time to those who are downloading and playing this my little ZAng Variant ^^

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: Designing Meaningful Choices in Roguelikes – How Do You Approach It?
« Last post by aaronanderson on July 19, 2025, 04:42:31 PM »Great question — this is something a lot of roguelike designers wrestle with! The best meaningful choices usually force the player to trade between short-term safety and long-term risk/reward, rather than giving clear “better” answers. Games like Slay the Spire do this well by making you choose cards or relics that can shape your whole run, often locking you into specific synergies with risk attached.
