The things in Rogue that kill me most aren't even monsters. It's traps, by far. Dying from hypothermia, fire, falling in a pit, having the roof collapse. Things that just take you out fast, before you even have time to react.

Just like real life.

Took this screenshot of two of the better rings I've ever found in one run in Rogue, because OF COURSE I died seconds after this from some stupid trap or falling somewhere (I don't always know, sometimes the deaths are super chaotic and fast) 😂

Also, has anyone ever found a use for the monster bit bag? Is it just if you get to town, to trade or craft, or something? Bragging rights? Anyway.

Read the machete_readme.txt IV.26 entry (at least, althought reading the whole thing is advised and fun and enjoyable) to see what is fixed, added and reworked.
Thank u loads to all my good folks that contribute in any way to this little project of mine.

In Rogue-FP on Steam, EVERYTHING is made of letters. When you kill a monster and come back later, there will often be flies (capital 'F' letters) flying around the remains 😂

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev so excited for the next update!! New monsters, new magic items, polished door destruction thang, following up last patch, more polished code under the hood... The more I play it, the more time I spend on this variant, the more I love it.

In the middle of the room, a Mindflayer, Paladin of Death, wielding a whip, dripping poison and enveloped in magical frost...
