KeeperRL (formerly Zagadka)

[miki151]

Aha! You also seem to have changed something that always bothered me - I now start with my weapon equipped instead of having to equip it manually every time.

Yeah, I gave up on realism here

I've just been playing some more and I realised I haven't seen stairs up to the surface in the newest version(s). Have you removed that whole surface area?

No, it's there. The up stairs are actually the starting location.

Any chance you could provide the source, or compile a 64-bit version?

I can, but for Windows or Linux? I thought you can always run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit system?

[miki151]

I've uploaded a new version. You can now pray at the shrines (using enter or numpad-5, just like you interact with almost everything). The gods will respond, and the effects can be useful, funny or dramatic, or any combination thereof (about 30 different things can happen to you, based on what god you're praying to). I've also added a range of new items and monsters. Watch out especially for the Krakens!

I'm on a 64-bit system and Zagadka runs fine for me.

Here is my Dungeon Keeper clone idea:

Looks rather intriguing - and well realised for an "idea".

I feel it could be a huge hit. Roguelikes are trendy, anything Dungeon Keeper is always in demand, and there`s digging. Can`t fail, really ;)

[miki151]

Yeah, I think there is potential here, especially adding a traditional RL mode. You could possess your minion and defend your dungeon, raid towns on the surface, or send someone your dungeon and let them play a hero. I need a few more weeks of coding

Miki, I suggest you make a separate thread for the Keeper RL and where can I grab it?

[miki151]

You can grab it here (there are 2 executables in the archive, one for old Zagadka and for KeeperRL). Beware that it's more of a proof of concept than a game right now.

I just renamed the thread, though Zagadka still lives. My plan is to merge them now.

[Samildanach]

The Zagadka exe in that download (the one that includes Keeper) just 'stops working' every time I try to run it. I don't have the previous version anymore. Can I still get it? (Or alternatively, is this a known problem?)

[miki151]

I fixed it. Try re-downloading please.

[Samildanach]

Success! Thanks!

[Samildanach]

Are you still working on Zagadka as well as KeeperRL? Zagadka is still one of my go-to roguelikes. I managed to get what felt like quite a long way down. I killed several named enemies. I fell in the end though. 

[miki151]

I plan to develop it as part of KeeperRL, a kind of "adventure mode". I was stuck on the story line and didn't know where to take it.

[miki151]

I've made an update to KeeperRL. It doesn't have the adventure mode yet, but I'll add it in the next release. Still, you can have a lot of good combat with the heroes. They now come from a real village. Find more on http://keeperrl.com.

I'm about to release a version with doors and traps, the ability to form teams and a lot of improvement in general. If anyone would like to test it a little before I push it out, here it is:
