Depressing Drawers posted:The current pre-alpha release is still available on IndieDB, however it's not really representative of the game anymore - Out of a misplaced sense of community however here's a goon alpha release for you guys; Sweet, I'll be checking this out. Looks interesting.

It's called Sproggiwood, there's no public beta at the moment, but you can sign up here if you're interested in joining some playtest rounds: http://www.freeholdentertainment.com/beta/ We're just a few days from launching our Steam Greenlight, I'll probably drop in to beg some votes next week! If you want to keep up with progress, we post updates at our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/freeholdgames

Hi Roguelikes thread. You can now purchase One Way Heroics on Steam for less than the price of a pack of gum at a convenience store. Well, bye. http://store.steampowered.com/app/266210/

Didn't read the readme until after playing and learning to kick though. I'm no coward  It... took a while until I figured out that walking over item drops moved you away from them and I needed to right click.

I voted for Sproggiwood when I saw the Greenlight campaign on Twitter. Congrats! I just started playing Hoplite on iOS. The efficiency of the game design is great! A play through might take only 10 minutes, but it hits basically every roguelike gameplay element I enjoy in that time.

The next ADOM closed pre-release which will be out soon sounds like a big one. The context menus are going to be substantially improved, there will be a central character information screen instead of 5-6 of them, autoexplore is going on, and it will have the ADOM Deluxe features in for testing.

I might have to pick it up again then. I paid for closed access a while back but I haven't really played it much since then.

He also made a cryptic comment in the bugtracker that implied he added several new dungeons to the map for the next version.

What roguelites are similar to Rogue Legacy in that there is still a system for character advancement outside of what is limited to your character's lifespan?

This game is in the same vein but still in alpha. http://vagantegame.tumblr.com/ That being said, play the alpha its pretty dang fun! The loot and levels are more random than legacy, and no progress carries over between death. Looks like its gonna be a pretty fun game.

Well, there's stuff like Binding of Isaac and Risk of Rain, although they're a different sort of progression. Instead of getting bigger stats and stronger starting gear, you unlock more variety in terms of which items can be randomly generated, as well as new characters to play as.

I guess Spelunky technically sort of counts, if you include opening up shortcuts. More people need to play Spelunky, in any case.

Mark Johnson is doing some really really nice things with ASCII, I'll be heartbroken if the game part of URR sucks because the art design is amazing for an ASCII game.

What's the general gooncensus on The Pit? http://sots-thepit.com I bought it on a steam sale for cheap and have enjoyed it and just bought the expansions during the last steam sale. I am not a huge fan of ASCII based games and enjoyed this for the ease of entry and solid controls/art/usability, which is something most rogue likes seem to actively hate.

Are there any roguelikes with class and ability design like TOME's but, uh, better optimized? I love TOME but I'm getting to the point where I'm often just not willing to put up with framerate stuttering and constantly worsening performance the longer the client runs in an ASCII game of all things.

I love TOME but I'm getting to the point where I'm often just not willing to put up with framerate stuttering and constantly worsening performance the longer the client runs in an ASCII game of all things. I'm not sure how ToME counts as "an ASCII game". I note that 1.2.0 introduced some pretty serious memory leaks which I think are all fixed as of 1.2.2; update to that and turn off all the fancy graphical effects like shaders and see if things improve. As for other games like it, I've got nothing. ToME's class design and "death to consumables" philosophy are pretty unusual.

Sigma-X posted:What's the general gooncensus on The Pit? I really like parts of it and dislike others. The "look everything up in a wiki" crafting system is the biggest turn off for me. The recipes should be better, but you just can't make them until you learn/find it. As it is, it feels like a chore to look them up outside of the game, but I feel like I'm losing out if I ignore crafting, therefore, playing the game feels like a chore.

Also, the crafting is a chore at first, but becomes okay when you learn what stuff you should hang on to. Like, you're supposed to play a ton of runs to unlock the basic recipes that you actually need to survive(especially when it comes to food!), which is a dumb idea. So I just looked everything up on the net early on. It's also not that fun, but at least the combinations stay in your PDA when you've made them once. Doesn't matter if you have actually found the recipe in the game.

From what I remember of ToME's early days, I think DarkGod is just bad at writing optimized code, kind of like the Dwarf Fortress guy. For example (and not to say that ToME is necessarily doing this) if you run a full A* search for every entity on every turn and you have dozens of entities on a large map, then you're going to notice some lag even though the game isn't obviously doing anything difficult.

Shiren the Wanderer is like this although it is a proper roguelike, you unlock new helpers/side quests/items in warehouses and so on as you play the game.
