Book Watch '10: The Roguelike Evolution
« on: January 07, 2010, 12:40:04 AM »
"The Roguelike Evolution" book I'm writing is consuming much time. Expect few updates after next release until Publishing deadline in March."

Via the interesting place that will hopefully mention the Rogutemple under their Roguelike Resources section one day:

One wonders how this will shake out come March'ish.   8)

Took me a second read after visiting the site to figure out it's not your book & website...

You know you can use the quote tag (third button from the right in the 2nd button row) right?

-Ido.

With the March deadline, i didn't take under consideration three things: 1. 7DRL 2. How picky my editor is 3 I was getting married on April 10th. I'm working on a development section that will cover some basics on RL-Dev. I might release a chapter of the book soon however to make up for the botched deadline. I'm getting married here soon so I expect easily a week after I should have something available on pdf. Thanks for the post though, I appreciate it.

No problem, marriage is one of the finest and most worthy delays of everything else.   ;D  I should reckon books on this subject a rare existence indeed, so time taken is taken for gain not ill.

How funny. I just saw the "Twisty Little Passages" book that describes the history of Interactive Fiction and thought it would be cool to have something similar for roguelikes.

Good luck! :D
