For our upcoming 100th episode, we are doing a massive three-parter!

Part one will focus on a selection of games from the 1970s that inspired the design and development of the 1980 release of Rogue.

Part two will focus on the first roguelikes of the 1980s that coined the term and the kickoff of the subgenre.

Part three will focus on one specific game that shows just how far ASCII games have come in the modern age!

Got the hedge maze working! Now on tuning the first few levels. Monster spawns, random items drops, loot tables, random encounters etc.

Tedious work, but so satisfying.

In a deperate attempt to get more users to try NetHack 5.0.0 for the Atari ST, I added a launcher script for Linux (and maybe macOS?) that does all the setup and directly launches into the game for you.

You just have to have hatari installed on your machine.

Expect a status update blog post about Shattered Pixel Dungeon later this coming week. In the meantime though, here's another new larger room coming in the vault quest! It's a long hallway with a patrolling enemy and alcoves to duck out of sight.
