Slartboz

4 new screenshots. attached

there are a few easter eggs in these images

one is that it refers to a game I made 15 years ago. Slartboz is its de facto, spiritual sequel. but has a much more sophisticated engine, rewritten by me from the ground up to deliver the new features & UX I want to hit now

itch.io - Slartboz: 2nd Screencast Video AVAIL. Lasers, Monsters, Mindless Obedience, Accidental Deaths, Grim Humor, Cute Animals - Slartboz by Synystron Games

uses ncurses for its UI. even though its a real-time engine (w/ animations & sounds)

& written 100% in vim

I'll add a tribute dedicated to Bram Moolenaar (& vi/vim) in the next rev of my code

I'm trying hard to make the MOST fun game I can think of that involves purely vim, ncurses & terminals

update on public engagement so far, for good & bad:

* 8 followers on Itch.io

* about a dozen people on Mastodon have said they like the sound of the game. a few sounded like a big fans

* $0 in donations/tips. not even a single dollar. not a penny! I know times are harsh for some people, but... *really?*

A Giant Spider

a peek behind the scenes into my design process. I brainstormed up this new creature/encounter type (and some related exciting & horrific plot threads) this evening after dinner

my design & plot notes and TODOs have about 20 lines/paragraphs and bullet points about **Dogs** alone

not implemented *any* of them yet

of course I'm holding the white lowercase 'd' in reserve for them. for Man's Best Fren

I would not be a true oldskool NetHack player if I had not :-)
