New mode: Infinite Dungeon

[kuniqs]

I'd like to play a crawl game consisting of infinite Dungeon levels. Difficulty is slightly decreased (to compensate for lack of branches).

- uniques can spawn and be killed many times, like Boris
- more than 1 of the same unique can spawn (fight 3 Borises on the same floor!)
- you can't go up, only down
- the deeper you go, the more cramped the dungeon becomes. Levels have a higher chance to be smaller (with less loot) and more packed with monsters
- branch monsters can spawn, including hell/pan lords
- spending too much time on a level triggers an orbrun effect, with no-exp monsters, which turns off when you descend

There is no point, just how far can you go!

Infinite? If you can clear 27 zigs i dont think there is much else that can stop you.

By the time you can enter zigs there's almost no randomness in the game

This actually sounds quite fun! If there was something like it, I would expect it to have smaller levels so you could work your way through faster, since it should feel much more like Sprint than a standard game of Crawl (nobody wants to spend too many hours on side modes). Reminds me of Ziggurat Sprint, though imo it could be a lot more fun than that if done right.

I don't really care about the infinite part, but I'd love to play a no-branches, no-upstairs, small-floor version of the game!

Could be interesting, though as others have said it would reach a point where it was just 'easier ziggurats.'

Kinda reminds me of Angel of 100/666 from DoomRL.

Small-floors and no-upstairs, with floors of appropriate depths randomly resembling depth-appropriate branches would be an interesting fork of crawl for sure.
