Wow, how? Do you mean by killing out of LOS, or something else?

Dead in the Abyss... I shouldn't have gone to Elf without enough willpower to completely resist banishment I suppose. Passwall was super useful in Abyss.

Hedge Wizard has Meph Cloud, Call Imp… lots of bangers

A couple squishy deaths, but doing decent now that I found the shops on Orc

Pretty average player here, but been playing from the beginning and I love the game and the direction of development a lot. Gonna do some character logs for trying to win with a Felid, after having won some of my other favorite species (Demonspawn, Draconian). I just started this Felid Hedge Wizard ...

well it only took a decade!

maybe i'll learn felid next... they're like the hardest species, but they really speak to me

It's looking more likely that I might make a project like this, after I finish Queen At Arms and Road Redemption. I just have to figure out if it could make enough money.

Maybe if I make something 3D.

I saw that, yeah. I wonder if the market is too small. I was running a Kickstarter for Queen at the same time as them. Trying to raise 50k in September is never a good idea for a game project.

This is idle curiosity, but how many of you would support a Kickstarter for Crawl-Spelunky?

So I did end up joining a new team and making a roguelike-like-like, but it's a racing game. I'm doing mission design for Road Redemption, which is releasing on Steam today. http://store.steampowered.com/app/300380/ My work on the project is oriented towards making it more roguelike-like. When I sta...

My current game, Queen At Arms, was just successfully Kickstarted! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1297221353/queen-at-arms My other game, Rex Rocket, is on Steam! http://store.steampowered.com/app/288020/ And, I have a new project! Road Redemption! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tZZGgz9U7Q S...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to a roguelike that's almost as good as Crawl, but can be beaten comfortably in 5 hours or less.

I'm sure extended can eventually be made more awesome.

I enjoy the existence of extended even though I never do it (and would like the main or minimal game to be slightly shorter.)

I spend a lot of time thinking about how tiny risks add up to huge probabilities. This is demonstrated extremely well in Roguelike games such as Nethack. Nethack takes 30 hours to beat. If you die, you have to play it from the beginning. After losing a powerful character 20 hours into the game from ...

Awesome! I'm gonna post here again once I've had a chance to play it. :-3

Awesome, thanks Twe! I'll check it out!

That's all true. If I make a Spelunky-like, Crawl will only be one of my references. Right now I'm brainstorming religion. Spelunky has one religion. But what if it had 3 or 4 instead? What kind of religions could work in a Spelunky-like? My initial thoughts are that they would revolve around playst...

I actually feel pretty good about this character build. I'll prolly do another Draconian VM -> Vehumet Conjurer soon and see if my luck is any better.

Sigh, Skazzy didn't make it.... She got pretty unlucky. There was even a "resist mutation" amulet that I almost bought earlier. The one strategic decision I made that might have killed me... choosing to forget Haste so I could learn Iron Shot from Vehumet. If I had trained up Charms and go...

Okay, escaping the Abyss. Should I stay on the 1st Floor, or descend to the 3rd? Assuming my goal is to leave, and not to find the rune.

FUNNIEST. STAIR-DESCENT. EVER . Stepped down the stairs, and IMMEDIATELY cast into the Abyss. There is a stone staircase leading down here. You climb downwards . Your mindless thrall stays behind.

Yeah, right now "Lee's Rapid Deconstruction" is what Skazzy is shooting for. Alright, I've got LDR online with the help of wizardry! Skazzy discovered both an ice cave and volcano on the same level of the orcish mines. O_O She retreated out of the ice cave after being tag-teamed by blue de...

The adventures of Skazzy the Draconian Venom Mage have begun.

Skazzy bows down at the altar of Vehumet.

She develops into a gray draconian.

How do people use the "amphibious" quality of gray draconians?

What should I use Ash's special abilities for? The ones that are activated, not passive? I haven't done anything with them....

Already there! Plus, Britnee is packing another Rune, from the Shoals! Planning on doing the Vaults next... good idea? Bad idea? My main goal is just to beat the game, not to do Extended.

Don't feel that way! Let your creativity show through!

I adore that image. It's my desktop.

Personally, I think of Crawl's best features as being... * Awesome races that change the playstyle of the game (esp. Mutations, Demonspawn, Draconians, Monsters) * Deity worship * Significant strategic decisions at every stage of the game * Vaults * Encountering out-of-depth uniques * Random end-gam...

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. ;-)

And Into, that's no problem. Sorry for co-opting the Game Design forum.

Now that my work on "Queen At Arms" and "Rex Rocket" is wrapping up, I'm considering making a Spelunky-like. I'm thinking about a dungeon-crawling Spelunky-like inspired by Crawl. I thought I'd see what kind of ideas you guys had! What is the core of Crawl? Why do you come back t...

Anti-Magic over Holy Wrath? That would surprise me... I never play extended though.

What do you think of Vine Stalker as a race, OP?

Ysera the Draconian enters the dungeon.... Ysera has an extremely close call against a goblin, a kobold, and a bat. She's lucky and barely survives.
