@Braininabowl@mastodon.gamedev.placeNow that I finished making my #roguelike for #7drl2025, I can finally resume work on my #Playdate pulp project, which is to make a roguelike.
I finally managed to get a spell selection menu that I'm happy with, which has been a roadblock for the longest time.
Nethack and Rogue are my goto games for a boring afternoon.
Plus in about 2 months we will have junethack, registrations usually start in the last week of May.

@flesh@thicc.horseAre roguelikes a subgenre of roguelites?

Played some Roguejack last night, a mobile roguelike game where you explore a dungeon and battle creatures by playing blackjack against them. Take notes, real casinos. If you battled actual monsters in real-life casinos, I can see that being a really interesting selling point. Anyway, great game.

Alright back to Gum Flesh. Starting off easy with some hit effects stuff.
Played a bunch of Ultimate ADOM (Ancient Dungeons of Mystery): Caverns of Chaos (which is a sequel to the original ADOM) today on Steam. It has some bad reviews, but really, I think it's an improvement on the original. I find it to be a blast-- a great dungeon crawler. And a great opportunity to play as a ratling priestess. 
Goals met for this map:
tile collisionobject collisionentity collision (doesn't do anything yet but it's there)pick up/drop items (now with less crashing!)switch object properties from C to Lua basic inventory with item selection object interaction (can't pass a locked door without a key in inventory and equipped)
Could it be? Could it finally be time to work on... *combat?*
*stats?* Can I do *stats?!*
I know I'm late to the party, but I finally got a chance to play #balatro. It's a really well done deck building #roguelike, that is based on the rules of #poker. The graphics, music and gameplay are top notch, and it's impressive that it all fits in a very small download.
I'm still learning all the rules and effects, but I could easily see myself spending lot of hours on this one. #steamdeck #linuxgaming
Hey Hey!
Auf dem lieben @nerdjunkblog gibt es einen neuen Beitrag von mir!
Dieses Mal geht es um Rogue-Likes und warum diese Art Spiel mich besonders anzieht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
Hallo liebe Nerds,
heute gibt es ein kleines Update auf dem Blog. Freue mich über jeden Like und Boost von euch. Folgt mir auch gerne, um direkt benachrichtigt zu werden bei neuen Updates.
Heute geht es um:
Faszination Rogue-Likes: Warum ich mich auch nach 200 Stunden noch durch dieselben Level schlage.
Ich mag so große Genre-Bezeichnungen nicht. Mittlerweile gibt es so viele Schubladen in Schubladen in Schubladen, in welche man Spiele packen kann, dass man komplett den Überblick verlieren kann. Spiele an sich sind jeweils sehr eigen und die Grenzen zwischen solchen Genres können komplett vermischen. Trotzdem möchte ich in diesem Beitrag mal über eins meiner absoluten Lieblings-Genres […]
Hier geht es direkt zum Beitrag:
In case you missed the announcement in our newsletter, we're hosting a casual get together in Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco on Tuesday, March 18 12:30 - 2:30 PM.
It's for anyone interested in #roguelike and #procgen topics, whether or not you have a pass for #GDC2025 (which is conveniently happening the same week).
It'll be primarily hosted by Kawa (@kawa), who will be wearing this dashing artefact Hat of Zot, so look for them when you're there!
