#roguelikedev — Public Fediverse posts

#ZMAngband #roguelikedev you got it, the whole evening coding in different combos of monsters/drops to be generated. + coded in the possibility of attaching drops to flags, so in a future I only have to rewrite/interchange flags on existing creatures for any desired drop combo.
Man, next update is gonna be LIT AF.
Plus... More on the immersion side too when in combat, but NO spoiling that one!
Moving forward and growing, this #variant is delivering some serious #FUN. #traditionalroguelikes

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev #Angband may Roguelikes unite us all in #ASCII dreams. Latest patch of this humble Z #Variant is up and ready:

Grab your copy, read (at least) the entry for IV-11 so you know all things going on and, above all, enjoy it.

I got interviewed about my game "OfMiceAndMechs" and the video is done now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXFFMmgmf5Q

Check it out! I feel the interviewer did a pretty good to make sure my first interview didn't end up being a desater.

I did also watched some other videos in the series and i basically recommend checking out the whole series!

i pushed the new mausoleum satart as an update to itch. I was not 100% happy with it yet, but the old version was kind of very out of date, so here it is:

I just sold the first copy of my game!

This will be the last meta post for a while, but it is one of the big milestones in the live of a gamedev.

The game is not done, the demo is not yet done and i created an itchio page to find playtesters.

The goal was to get feeback on the demo release, build interest and then make a sale.

Somebody sidestepped all of that and bought a copy right away :-)

Now i am duty bound to actually release the game.

Today i finally created an itch.io page 🙂

I have put this off for way too long, but i finally did it:

https://marxmustermann.itch.io/ofmiceandmechs

That doesn't mean the game is released yet, or that the demo is released yet, but it means binaries to playtest the demo are available.

One side effect is that i finally have a linux binary that can be started with adouble click. It even works on some systems.

I'll be gratefull for any feedback, flames and improvement ideas.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev still glued to fckn' #FontForge and getting some decently nice designs. .fon format is like trying to read a throwing of ritual bones, pff, ridiculous. Sometimes I feel like a paleodev...

#ZMAngband #variant #roguelikedev
On our way to the 1100 downloads! Can you freakin' believe it!?

#ZMAngband #variant #roguelikedev new release day! I.29 is up for grabs! Fresh new baked Frankie font, Combat/Magic code polishing finished. More newly added Creatures/Items. More color customization. Very happy with the results!

Squeezing the #FontForge program, #nightshift #roguelikedev #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike the results are GORGEOUS. Ascii looks stupendous on the Variant. Did some more replacement for the characters that I like from other fonts, upgraded the rendering to give the final smooth looking and boy, does it look stunning or what!? I will upload screenshots later on. This is awesome. Along with the 256 ascii Technicolor upgrade!! heck yeah!!

#nightshift #roguelikedev #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike first pic, encountered ToadKiller Dog (any #BlackCompany fan around?) displayed old normal ascii. Second pic encountered Mughash hidind in a small vault. New characters displayed. Notice the @ and the ! come from different fonts.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #turnbasedrpg new update released! I.20 patch is up and ready for the taking!!
Link on bio. Thx you loads to everyone for the support and the positive vibes! Thank you to @jake4480 for the trouble.
Excited to see what you my fellow roguelikers think of this new update. Packed up with bunches of fine-tuning and polishing on Combat, Magic and Classes' preferences for a more customized/personalized gameplay!

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev Here it is! Non-lit areas of the map are a la #Brogue ,lit areas outside the yellow light source are of different colour too.Magma veins have 2 tones now depending on how close the player is to them. AND I figured out how to colour objects+monsters. This is gonna have a HUGE impact on the visuals.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #variant #roguelikedev Wow!
As I was surfing through my usual tour of pages about roguelikes and found my humble variant got featured at #roguebasin
Can't wait to release next update! You guys are gonna love it.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #variant #turnbasedrpg #roguelikedev
Oh man, something nice' s a-cooking. I think I'm getting more and more familiar with the Ancestral Zangband Code, it's like deciphering neolitic cave art, gives me the jeebies but I like it. Btw, installing #VSCode was a bright idea, was NOT expecting it to be so good when used along with #Vim .
Next update is so dear to me that might as well advance a whole number.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #variant #turnbasedrpg #roguelikedev Latest patch, with some last minute fixes and corrections, has been tested and released. Up on itchio for you folks to download it. Somebody on win11 was reporting of a weird save/autosave bug. 0.8b is available. Get your copy!

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #variant https://jose-machete.itch.io/zmangband08me
New version is up and hot for the taking! Go get it and read the 0.8a_readme.txt for all new good nice added stuff in it :)) Sure you guys will dig this one!

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #variant #screenshotsunday
Blade of Chaos plus an example of the said bracelets, the rune of spring one in this case. My Rogue Rakshasa looks promising... We will see how far she can make it.
Also the re-vamped combat system is working good. Take a look at combat_charts.txt to know more about it.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #variant
...collectibles to find AND wear, giving even more possibilities and customizations to the Adventurers. On the bad side, other major features will have to wait to be released. I know, slow and steady... But dang, I wanted it all. ___sigh. Anyway, it's a nice step forward.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #variant Tomorrow it's new version release day. 0.8a will be entering the stage. Mixed feelings. Got an entire new type of jewelry you can combine with rings: bracelets with Runes. 21 in total, plus the fine-tuned Shrunken Heads amulets. Lots of...

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #variant we made it to the #RogueBasin
https://roguebasin.com/index.php/Main_Page @roguetemple thank you, Slashie!
Oh and also, presented it at the https://angband.live forums/variants !

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev #variant Road to 0.8 is already being paved. So far the tests for speaking/sounds effects on monsters are successful. Historically, 'bands only had lines for Uniques. I'm expanding that feature and the test runs are being a BLAST.
Also, ranged attacks from monsters are taking shape too.
Had somebody told me one year ago, that today I would be here and I would had called them crazy. But here I am. Bonkers.

Whaaaat? It's Roguelike Celebration already? Where did 2025 go?? https://www.roguelike.club/event2025.html #roguelikes #roguelikedev #talks

Dead By Zombie's public README has been revised to mention Slartboz

DBZ was my 1st commercial Rogue-like. began writing it in 2007-ish. went live to players in 2008. released around same time as the original Dwarf Fortress! (Them: dorfs. Me: zeds.)

Slartboz is my de facto sequel & successor to DBZ. so it made sense to mention it back in the old public repo for DBZ

it is here:
