It’s been a few days since April Fools, so I can tell you in confidence… it’s all real. All of it.

Okay, so is any of this true? Is this just an April Fools joke, or is a tournament still coming? it’s hard to tell.

One of the best if not the best rougelike at the moment. I can’t stop thank you for your efforts to refine it even more.

Hello! We appreciate all bug reports, but ultimately this is a volunteer-run project. We have very limited development time, and many claims on that time. Please temper your expectations accordingly. :)

Look all these things sound great, but I am wondering why simple QoL issues seemingly go unnoticed… Such as these two I had reported a while ago:

https://github.com/crawl/crawl/issues/2994
https://github.com/crawl/crawl/issues/2973

Thanks for all the work on this great game. I just genuinely feel that it might not stay as great if such things go ignored. To me crawl is awesome because of the streamlined, refined player experience and it would be a shame if it regressed in that regard.

I just installed the beta and I’m furious about maybe_bool UI situation. Look what crawl tells me before I start it up:

In file included from maybe-bool.cc:4:
maybe-bool.cc: In static member function ‘static void maybe_bool::test_cases()’:
maybe-bool.cc:54:15: warning: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of comparison [-Wlogical-not-parentheses]
54 | ASSERT(!y == n);
| ^~
debug.h:58:15: note: in definition of macro ‘ASSERT’
58 | if (!(p)) AssertFailed(#p, __FILE__, __LINE__); \
| ^
There’s no “maybe” about whether this is a bad design, it’s awful! I’m going back to playing 0.10, the last good version where maybe_bool worked as intended. Totally against the meaning and artistic intent of Kamide 2013.
