It's the Roguelike Celebration 2025 call for presenters!
The virtual conference will be Oct 25-26. Presentations are either live or pre-recorded. Talks are 30 minutes or a quick 10 minutes and can be about roguelikes, similar games or procedural generation. Proposals must be submitted by June 30th, and you can make multiple submissions!

I gave a talk last year on Robotlike games. You could talk about your game!
Czech playwright Karel Čapek wrote the 1920 play Rossum’s Universal Robots, the origin of the term robot. He based it upon the word for forced labor. A lot of early sci-fi tries to emulate the Slavic pronunciation. Rod Serling talked about ro-bits in a lot of the original Twilight Zone episodes, among others. These days anyone saying that is usually trying to be funny, probably from how Futurama liked to make fun of it. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxjIdm-0cSTydeK_cZzJziZ5VaoU58_Bav?si=9uzkgZHNEbSPFibI
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
This was an early doodle from back when I was learning Nintendo style. This isn't compliant with the NES color system, though. The figures have 8x8 pixel heads on bodies the same size, so it's quite similar to the Elflings ultra-low resolution style.
Today's Roguelike Celebration livestream is on a different page than the link I shared yesterday. Best to just click https://www.youtube.com/@roguelikecelebration and look for the Live video link at the top of the page. That also has info with links to all the old presentations that are already online. Presentations from this weekend will be archived there later.
You can also buy tickets / donate / get merch. Well worth it!

Fun little monsters from my presentation this weekend, done in the Elflings retro pixel art style. They are basically Nintendo-style graphics in size and colors.

Can you believe it? Roguelike Celebration 2024 is THIS WEEKEND (Oct 19-20)!
PLUS, we'll have a no-agenda pre-party in the MUD on Friday night, because who doesn't want to spend more time at the goblin market? (Did we mention it's a goblin market this year?)
