I’m doing the 7-Day Roguelike Challenge again, started yesterday and will have a finished roguelike game by the end of Saturday the 17th.
There is also a Google+ page which has been quite fun.
Andrew Doull over on ASCII Dreams has a great post with all sorts of useful other links.
I recently hosted a game of Neptune’s Pride, a persistent “slow time” online strategy game where you win primarily by backstabbing making friends. The majority of the players game from the comments section of a lovely blog I read called Electron Dance. From there things got… interesting.
A month after the dust has settled, at least two of the players are posting their diaries.. I can’t wait to read about what an ass I was in the third person! LiberalEurope (ug.. the hated Yellow Empire… so much hatred) is posting here, and Shaun (CitiesInDust) is posting here.
Go on, read about how terrible I was. I’ll wait…
I realize this seems silly considering the number of people that read either blog is somewhere in the single digit range, but I think I will switch back to blogger after a short-lived tumblr experience.
I’ll see what I can do about moving over the Grogue and ‘and what army’ devblog posts. Until then… expect some GRogue updates soon and tons and tons of 2012 7DRL reviews later in March.
In case anyone is still reading here, and not on tumblr, I started an ’11-day Roguelike’, based on pirates. In javascript. An official r.g.r.d post as well!
Also, hi!
The you and what army devblog continues here on tumblr.
Expect more short form updates as the game goes from crappy pre-alpha to less-crappy beta. Also, a playable version soon, so drop a line if you are hard core enough to be an alpha tester.
Also if somehow an amazing 8-bit artist is reading this and wants to help that’d be great. I even might have some money to spend.
