  2. #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev #Angband may Roguelikes unite us all in #ASCII dreams. Latest patch of this humble Z #Variant is up and ready:
    jose-machete.itch.io/zmangband
    Grab your copy, read (at least) the entry for IV-11 so you know all things going on and, above all, enjoy it.

  4. Wow, just won my first #angband game ever! Ultimately found success with a Dunadan Ranger. Wasn't sure I would ever have achieved that, but my last character (a High-Elf Mage) got close, but was killed by Sauron.

  5. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup aka #dcss is pretty damn hard. Even playing the recommended "easy build" of a Gargoyle Berserker, I keep dying around character and dungeon level 5. It's like you go straight from fighting a few loose rats and snakes to getting ambushed by an entire orc army all at once. And you can't grind XP because each level is permanent and the monsters stay dead, unlike in #Angband and #ADOM. #roguelike #yasd

  7. I recently picked up a new classic #roguelike, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup or #dcss. I am really impressed by its #qualityoflife features compared to #Angband and #Nethack, including a web client, mouse support, auto-move, and auto-fight. It really shows how a game can have a great easy-to-learn interface but still be balls hard. I like it.

  9. #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #Angband #variant you guys want to know a mind-blowind fact? Yours truly's Variant is on its slow but steady pace to... 700 downloads. Yea. I'm just in fckn shock. What started as only a couple of small adjustments to a forgotten forked repo, evolved to have a mind, a life, feelings, on its own.
    Not only every run is a fckn thrill. You dive, feel and breathe through the walls, the ground, the Dungeons. Awesome. And more ideas and additions to come.

  10. my #dwarffortress experience comes after #moria #roguelike #mincraft #rpg #dungeon #crawler #dnd #ascii #angband #shatteredpixel ... so far, after 8 hours, I sort of feel aimless and like maybe I made a bad purchase. Is there an "arcade" version of Dwarf Fortress? to get started with? How does one engage with this #lore... ?

  14. I hope traditional roguelike fans who follow me here have been following the progress I've boosted here and there about @josemachete79's ZAngband variant 'ZMAngband' he's been working on based on the original red box D&D rules.

    Go to jose-machete.itch.io/zmangband and grab a copy to try out yourself - it's a blast!

  20. Finding a Sling of Power (x2) (+9, +15) on the first level of the dungeon is a pretty good start to an #angband session.

  29. The friggin' Dagger from R'lyeh, no less. Gotten from Boskovlado, King of Goblins. Who, after ambushing me in a pillars room, ended up dissolved/hacked from my Axe's mighty power. Hell of a Variant, this one. Getting better and better. #traditionalroguelike #zangband #angband #screenshotsunday -and a big hello to my mastomates @jake4480 @juliancday @roguetemple @BenCollver and others that my fried braincell cannot bring up rn :(( #goodnightfediverse

    Is Angband free software?

  32. It's #NewRelease day! #traditionalroguelike #ZdashAngband #MacheteEdition is out, born from the deep forges of #Angband 's fork #ZAngband
    Thanks a-plenty to @slashie
    @juliancday
    @jake4480 and others that want to stay anonimous. Go grab it, read the machete_readme.txt, and cry from despair, for this Fork is unforgiving AF.

  34. #traditionalroguelike #ZdashAngband #MacheteEdition fckn love how this long a$$ project is coming to life! I'm biased lol but this gameplay is thee Best I've seen in long times playing #Angband and forks. The character re-balancing, the freshly re-worked monsters (under 90 to full completion!) the visuals oh em gee I'm in love.
    So far only one bug. Could I release with one bug? #roguelike #fork #variant

  36. I know I follow a lot of indie game makers here, but I have little idea of what engines any of of you use. Anybody here know about C++ compiling? @josemachete79 is working on building his own version of #Angband from a cloned repo, and is running into issues compiling.

    Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated- I've played a test build or two of the game and it's working great except for these final compiling issues. Hit him up!

    (The image below is a screenshot of the starting character I randomly generated to use when testing one of the builds.)

  38. @josemachete79 boosting for reach, so bizarre, and I personally have no idea.. 😬 maybe also hashtag the engine you're using, as people often find good replies to things that way? At least #Angband etc

  40. One great and highly useful Angband thing I found is this printable guide to the commands, that this Angband.live forum user made and linked here in 2021. It's a Word doc, so I downloaded it, made the font and window slightly smaller, so I'm able to have it up next to the game window as I play. Helps MASSIVELY so you don't have to keep hitting '?'.

  42. My head is throbbing after so many hours going through code and file after file to understand how to #zangband works. Writing down bunches of ideas and then moving them into the "reforging" (for lack of a better fitting word) of my clone. Several revamped visuals, couple bugs smashed, some QoL implementations done and a fair bunch of added stuff, are already fitted and being tested.

  44. Пока думаю над тем, какую вариацию #Angband поставить на телефон с собой в отпуск. Параллельно с этим думаю, есть ли какие-нибудь "рогалики" с партиями, т.е. где ты управляешь не одним персонажем, а целой группой.

    Была мысль ещё попробовать поднять расширенную версию Might & Magic через SCUMMVM, но она больно глючная, плюс много чего завязано на клавиатуру.

  45. But then again, I still sometimes jerk in startlement when I see a light-colored upper case D surrounded by dark space on a monitor. It's been at least 35 years since I played so much Dungeons Of Moria or Nethack or whichever roguelike that I accidentally trained myself to flinch at the symbol for "you have met an Ancient Dragon in a dark place, prepare to die" -- but that flinch is trained deep into the meat.

    And that's a wrap, как г-рится.

    Увы, к концу "забега" не обошлось без сейвскама, но тут уже душа просила закончить начатое. К тому же если бы я соблюдал правила игры, я бы "свернул лавочку" ещё под Нарготрондом.

    В целом вариант First Age Angband мне очень понравился - как с точки зрения lore friendliness, так и в плане механик.

    Следующим летом обязательно попробую новый забег другим классом - на этот раз по "чесноку", с пермасмертью. Или для разнообразия попробую ваниллу или другой вариант. Кто ж ещё в ленте будет продвигать походный СПО-гейминг?
