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

YASD.

I was going through the Orc Caverns in when I had my first ever blood red bad level feeling. This was only on level 31 so I felt fairly confident (foreshadowing) taking it on. Found a few very out of depth uniques and while killing a marilith one of them rounded the corner. I tried to bail and read a teleport scroll, but it failed. The subsequent water bolt (irresistible damage) took me from around a hundred HP to -76.

My paladin was lvl 28.

Games That Defined Me (Part 1)

It's an interesting question, stated a few different ways -- 10 games to know me, or games that defined me. The question has been bouncing around Mastodon for a few days. Here's mine.

Made it to level 20 with my life magic Hermes Demigod Paladin in . Got my first demigod power and as always I picked the one that gives resistance against all breath and thrown rocks. With big dragons being a killer of so many characters, I feel it's the best pick most of the time.

Other than that I found a good damage whip and started running through Angband after the first two intro dungeons. Hopefully I won't do something too stupid!

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

VIDEO IS UP!

* screencast of The Encyclopedia screen
* narrated by me (the game's designer, writer & programmer. oh and Le Artiste)
* not a FULL gameplay walkthru
* very rough. lots of placeholders can still be seen & heard

54 seconds

And nearly as soon as it began, my Chaos dragon run ends. I somehow flubbed reading a scroll of teleportation and ended up at -9 HP fighting Utamo the Cruel.

Maybe time to take a break from for a bit. Suggestions for my next character appreciated for when I pick it back up.

Slartboz

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?*
