Surprised and encouraged to see a small indie ASCII based #TraditionalRoguelike turn up on the #PS5 store the other day. It was available for a few pence (£0.79)!

#TerminalRogue #Game

It's got the character based looks but plays more like a #CoffeeBreak #roguelike on the console.

You descend down 9 levels of dungeon trying to survive by collecting runes (*) that you can spend to alter the dungeon layout or defuse a trap or place a wall piece down. An interesting twist that adds more to the experience than you'd imagine.

More like this to the console folks please. \@/

On the way to 1400 !!! downloads! It just blows my mind. Getting good reviews and kind warm comments. Slowly growing a small community of this Z variant's players.
Working on more stuff to add to the Lore, which btw, is a Dark Fantasy cauldron now.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev the decision has been taken, the targeting was buggy and anyway I never quite liked it. So, godspeed. But not all is lost, you still can choose the 'c' closest target when shooting/throwing/casting and also, you always can go octo-way. Next update will see a number of bugs gone.

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev couple players have mentioned crashing when targeting on win11. Revisited the code a bunch of times. No errors no warnings from the compiler, works ok on win10 /Wine. Considering to take the oldschool way and go full octo way only.
I cannot be the only one that does not relay on targeting while using anything that is not a melee action! Yes it is more tactical, intricate, plus makes u focus on angles and planning carefully a spell/projectile.

First time I ever get to level up a character to CL24! Look at that Stealth, I'm the Living Shadow, the Killing Rumor. And that equipment, whohoo, can't wait for the next session! #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev Update is available already! New II.8 release is up! Take a look to the machete_readme to go over the details and 'minutiae' :D packing a punch, this one!

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev putting together the last touches for the next update! Ohh it's gonna be a good one!!! Coming in hot! I'm decided to give ZAngnilla mode a good push in the Fun direction. 11 buildings available, improved Dungeon RNG. More immersion into Zelazny's lore. But also more Dark Fantasy lore added. More creatures, Uniques, objects. Customized exclusive font. (+ 2 hidden ones) Fine-tuning in Magic /Combat gets more work.
Almost 1200 downloads so far.
