Whoops, I absolutely forgot to make a proper update here! The 7DRLs are more or less finished (save a few stragglers I'll post whenever I can get them running) and so we move on to the multi-video series.
In the "classic" side of things, though certainly not by objective, I'm learning the ins and outs of
UnReal World. It's all about survival and making a home in the unforgiving and sinister wilderness. It's also about throwing rocks at a squirrel until it falls out of a tree and then bashing its skull open! (Not that the game is particularly gory about it, but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay alive.)
On the flip-side of modern and sassy roguelikes, we enter the realm of mutants, zombies, and tears in the rug of spacetime with
Teleglitch. It's fast-paced, it's pretty hard, and I'm loving all of it. I won't say that the controls get in the way, but the general control scheme is unorthodox and takes a little time to adjust to: that said, once you're well-immersed in the interface, you run into some really exciting situations.
I wonder whether you ever played any games from the 30[5-8]9 line? I think it would be interesting to see your take on them, as they look like they should major, but I haven't noticed roguelikers giving them much attention (for me, they weren't approachable enough, but as I have said, my determination to "get into" games is very low).
Y'know, I've heard of that game series before within the roguelike community, but I haven't gotten the chance to explore it. Gonna have to put that one down on the list, nice and proper. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
