Re: Vorpalize weapon

Same here. My best game ever was cut short by re-vorpalizing a vorpalized +7/+5 Battle Axe. I actually yelled at my ipod for a little bit when that happened. Then the griffins came. Then I died. Then I cried.

Re: New name, mini-poster, and development update!

Hey CD, sorry about the lapse in communication I've been pretty busy lately. I also managed to catch some sort of crazy super flu that knocked me on my ass for a week and a half. Anyways, just caught up on all my RT/SHM news and gotta say you've been working really hard. On the idea of how to manage...

Re: New name, mini-poster, and development update!

Sorry, just got done with a really busy month of work. Saving money is really lame. Anyways, I'll read up more and let you know more later, but as it is now I gotta say the latest video is really impressive. Good work! I look forward to playing this whenever it comes out!

Re: What makes a roguelike fun?

Well, I'm short on time, so just a quick reply for now -- I'll likely be back later for more. Some quick ideas: 1) Past Characters could help new characters -- have characters able to select a few (1-3) bequeathable items, so that if they die, they can be used by the next character. Or, alternative...

Re: What to do with Spartacus?

I say end it for poor Spartacus. The man has gone through enough to last more than a lifetime. Let him retire in peace. You can always start again as Speartacus!

Re: Cavern released

I just bought Cavern. It looks great, but I can't get on with the controls at all. It seems far too fiddly. I tried to fight the monsters but died immediately because the area to tap them is too small. I rarely hit them and most of the time either stood still or moved to another square instead of a...

Re: Rogue Touch Strategies

Here's another one that I don't think has been mentioned yet. If you've vorpalized your weapon don't use another vorpalize scroll! Your weapon will be vaporized. Completely ruined my last character when I poofed my +4/+5 Battleaxe on dungeon level 23 :( Poor Frankenfingers.

Re: What makes a roguelike fun?

Well figured I'd pop in here and try to put my 2 cents in. Honestly if you want to know what makes a rogue like fun for me, it's going to be a long post. I'll try to keep it sort of organized and coherent, but please forgive me if I come across as bumble brained. It's 10:30 at night and I woke up at...

Re: Just who is this game for?

John, I'm back! You're new here, but I think your ideas are valid and very interesting. Also funny that you purchased an iPod Touch based on the availability of Roguelikes! Hopefully my next game will be interesting enough to bring even more people into the roguelike fold :mrgreen: Well thanks for ...

Re: Just who is this game for?

Hmm. Well I know I'm a new comer to the forum, and as such don't have a whole lot of credibility, but my 2 cents can't hurt. And as a guy who ran out to buy an iPod Touch because my buddy who has an iPhone told me that he bought some "Roguelike" for his phone and knew I was into the genre ...
