I've made (well, "am making" -- its a WIP, neither finished or polished) a real-time Roguelike adventure game set in a post-apoc future NorMerika (2100 CE.)

Sci-fi, action/combat, comedy and utterly depressing dystopia. Because. I have reasons. Trust me. (Risky, I know.)

Its development has been "on pause" (frozen) for the last 12-16 months. Today I have decided to resume putting hours into it (starting in "January 2026") and then release a 1st playable demo (in "February"; for Mac only, for now (Windows & Linux too eventually.)

Slartboz:
https://github.com/mkramlich/slartboz-pub

That repo does not have the game's source code or playable executable. Just a detailed description and my plan for the game. With sample content, screenshots and links to gameplay demo vids on YouTube.

Check it out and lemme know if sounds fun to you? And whether sounds worth tossing a few bucks at me so you can play it?

Mike
