I thought a little longer about this 'affair', and I have come to the conclusion, that the best solution is to ban me from this board.
Best solution for all.
Lebewohl DCSS Tavern.

It Belongs in an Ancient Ruin has to be mentioned in this thread: http://itbelongsinanancientruin.com/res/thumbnail-1.png Travel to museums around the world, defeat formidable defenses, steal the artifact, and return it to the ancient ruin from whence it came in this action-packed retro platformer!...

A new one from the brilliant Locomalito: http://www.locomalito.com/maldita_castilla.php Indeed, a nice Ghosts 'n Goblins -like. Thank you for that. Here something similar, but more like Rick Dangerous . http://s2.postimage.org/kaes7sfx5/laosquest.jpg Laos Quest Review: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/...

So, I looked into this in the last days and ... wow! If this is an internet fake, it would be the best since a long time. But seems all true - a Sir-Tech renegade trying to pawn Wizardry VII !!! I'm really thinking now about to invest a little sum for a pledge. http://www.gameranx.com/img/12-Oct/gri...

That series is another hardcore classic. The best when it's comes to a true pen&paper system simulated on computer. One could actually call it a 'CRPS' - 'Computer Role Playing Simulation'.
Also the new Drakensang games are worth a look.

It's a one-man project and has giant persistent dungeon like demise. It's the most 'demise-like' of the indie dungeon crawls that I know of. But demise is far more evolved. Think Demise like DCSS and DarkLight like maybe Vanilla Angbang. Demise 'auto'-combat is far better for this kind of gameplay t...

Also, TOTALLY obsessed with Deimse - Ascension right now. http://darklightdungeon.com/Images/HQDDEVR.png DarkLight Dungeon Eternity is another hack&slash time-sinker like Demise. -> http://www.darklightdungeon.com/ But most genial 'long play time' dungeon crawler is Wizardry IV - Return of Werd...

"Seduce"? What sort of dungeon is that? I don't know but I'd like to know more. Sounds like it might be a pleasant change from being chopped in half with a scythe by some guy called Sigmund. That was the age, when female characters still had their own 'options' in turn based combat rounds...

I love how these games are getting "popular" again. I really hope GOG eventually puts all of the old Wizardry games up for download. Best way to play Wizardry I-III nowadays on PC: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EtU4H4e_rB4/Tutn4iesQqI/AAAAAAAAATE/hJZesD-FfEc/s1600/Wizardry+I-II-III+-+Story+of...

Cardhalia Cardhalia is a grid-based dungeon game we created quite a long time ago now. As the game was very successful in those times in Czech Republic, we were asked to create an English version so it can be played by people who don’t know the Czech language. We decided to proceed this idea and ho...

Great indie games are appreciated most. I'm looking for any sort of games that go by one or more of the following ...

I even never liked Diablo I back in the days, much less bought Diablo III. But for some reasons I like to play Drakensang online in the "no, I don't will pay a single fucking Cent for this shit" 'hardcore' mode. :) http://images.bbgsite.com/news/2012/04/24/drakensangonlinekeyfeatures.jpg h...

Like a (nice)... dagger.

The tile of eveningstar differs from morningstar also only by color.
A new one with longer spikes would not be bad.

Damage type of weapons could be used to make undeads more interesting. (blunt damage better against skeletons / sharp damage better against zombies).

The battleaxe has higher base damage than the broadaxe (17 as against 14), so it needs to look badasser than it. Two-bladed head (battle axe) vs one-bladed head+spike (broadaxe) looks 'badasser' to me. One-bladed head+spike (broadaxe) looks 'badasser' than one-bladed head (war axe). I really can't ...

The shadow implements a little '3d-space' to the '2d-look'.
I'm not so sure, if it would look better without.

I like your tiles too. The broad axe should look badass. The battleaxe is just the heavy, two-headed and exclusively two-handed version of it. (at least that I had in mind when I made the new item descriptions for it, which are in trunk now.) The quick blade is the fastest weapon in the game and sel...

Sadly 1st of April is already gone, so I DON'T claim that the Grimrock-devs decided in the last moment to cut all difficult levels beside the 'hardcore old-school mode', which will look like this: http://personal.inet.fi/koti/sol/log_c64.png -> http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=...

New Monster descriptions and quotations.

Played this now for hours non-stop in 'Old School'-difficulty level and can say this one is very good and evolved. It's an 'Hack&Slay' 3-d Dungeon Crawler like Demise (think Wizardry/Bard's Tale meets Diablo). ZoellerSoft is excited to announce the February 9th, 2012 release of DarkLight Dungeon...

My Angband variant of choice is OAngband: http://www.thangorodrim.net/oangband.html IVAN, Incursion was already mentioned in this thread, ADOM also should. Lost Labyrinth is good too (there are two different versions of it). About "Demise - Rise of the Ku'tan" I made a whole 'Oubliettelike...

Long Demise review here:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=77962.0

Mordor -The Depths of Dejenol counts 100%. Mordor was a 'wild copy&paste' from Avatar and this was more or less Oubliette. In post above I linked some blog entry, which explains this. Oubliette (1977): http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/34964-oubliette-dos-screenshot-exploring-the-dungeons-...

Well, Demise was a commercial flop. But the Box illustration was state of the art for it's time:

In this thread you can get some basic information about 'Oubliettelikes'-games, if you care to read on: ++++ The dungeon crawler game "Oubliette" (French word for 'dungeon') was first released on the PLATO system on November 18, 1977. It was later ported to the PC platform in 1983. Oubliet...

I made altar descriptions for the DCSS Text Improvement Taskforce. The idea I have for these descriptions, is to give a basic general idea and condensed subsumption about the in-game 'play-style' of each god. Here are the descriptions I made for the main magic-gods: A basalt altar of Yredelemnul An ...

...as he realises that 'Nietsche' is not 'Nietzsche' ....

I added more descriptions for altars, traps, stairs, hatches etc. Also, I would like to know, how much in-game space is there for the quotations texts (spaces in row and lines)? How about special letters? There are Japanese characters in the quotation for giant spiked club and in the quotation I've ...

Lapis lazuli is very good, I will change it to that.

@ cerebovssquire: There are no branch descriptions in the spreadsheet. Maybe make a note on Mantis about the pademonium runes?

It's more about to promote roguelikes, not really which is the best. So including DoD in the list, had at least the effect to get a review by nosrepemos. I would not care to much about the vote numbers. ToME will win, like last year. I voted for Crawl and JADE.

I considered Roderic's and Blade's point and made a new altar desc. for Vehumet: A radiant altar of Vehumet A shrine made out of red marble, ablaze in lights from within, promising great destructive powers. It houses an altar dedicated to Vehumet the Battlemage and is open for all, who want to follo...

I would like to see a Naga.
