https://turnbasedlovers.com/lists/some-of-the-best-latest-pc-turn-based-roguelikes-2020/
Really enjoyed @uoou & @HexDSL foray into #Game #CavesOfQud #roguelike video - guiding the player through the 1st hour.

It gives you all you need to start exploring & completing the early quests.
Joppa is a great start zone, because you can loot (behind closed doors) the few chests in town to start off with some kit (often a few artifacts to hand in to Argyve).
Old (2018), out of date but I attempted a quick guide myself. I went Mutant.
Today is the day for some (virtual) #roguelike celebration 🥂

catch up on the stream

This preview of the 2020 #roguelike celebration slipped out at the end of last month and is worth a watch to see tasters for the talks/presentations to come in the main event.

#SpaceGameJunkie did a recent #podcast with #ApproachingInfinity #gamedev discussing the #roguelike #game, it's new release in early access on #Steam today and it's chequered history.
Today is the day, I've been waiting for so long, the space exploration #roguelike #ApproachingInfinity finally escapes the publishers prison of 5 years and is released out onto the world via Steam.

It's got a new lick of paint and several systems have been shined up.
If you like #StarTrek and/or #roguelike you might want to consider this #game
The 7-day #roguelike challenge 2020 is now coming to a close for most #gamedev. But have a look-see at the free #game (s) on offer!

There is a lot of good quality on show this year. Well worth investigating if you like short challenging titles with often unique and novel mechanics pushing the accepted RL envelope.
Taste what is possible.
Many of the titles will run on #linux or are web based.
I have a #roguelike #hellbird account that tries to retweet and follow #games and #developers alike. This week is very important in the RL calender because it is the 7 Day RogueLike challenge #7DRL, where hundreds of #roguelikedev create genre/envelope pushing new takes on the traditional roguelike.
Here is the #nitter link to the feed

Showcasing much of what is out there and their development updates. Along with more established devs and their games.
This *could* be the greatest #game ever made...
1) #roguelike dungeon crawler
2) #samurai
3) way of the samurai
4) #shiren the wanderer devs
5) stamina, stance, block and evade combat
6) resources & crafting
7) co-op play supported
8) 24.99 UKP
Behold "Katana Kami: Way of the Samurai"
Spooky #Lovecraftian #Horror #Roguelike Door in the Woods is out now on #Steam
I can confirm it works on #Linux via #SteamPlay (at least on my setup). Although the dev said there was a Linux version in the works.

Oh man, so excited for this new #Lovecraftian #ASCII #roguelike called Door in the Woods.
Here is #SplatterCat giving it an airing.

Cool pseudo 3d effects set around ASCII symbolism. When you mouse over the zombie 'Z' is spells out ZOMBIE and when it dies all the letters tumble about the landscape. Cool.
It's out in December, but I'm hoping it works with #Proton on #Steam, or #Wine.
@HexDSL does some #roguelike #game discussion (amongst other things) with @uoou on his XPenguin #Podcast worth a listen. #JupiterHell #TalesOfMajEyal #Sproggiwood #Cogmind #Haque #Midboss #CataclysmDDA #Nethack #ADOM #cavesofqud
Hex, I think its time for a full Xpenguin on roguelikes! :)
I hope you can see this video clip of a #roguelike #game in development, it's a #lovecraft -(ian) horror "roguelite" & the pseudo-crawler gives me the wibbles, when it snatches at the bug a couple of times, then stands up and picks the bug up and appropriates it as a head of terror!

Good stuff. Looking forward to see how this game develops.
If you're interested in #roguelike games & #roguelikedev I try to run a CURATED feed on the birdsite that highlights traditional roguelikes & new developers pushing the envelope & crafting new roguelike entertainment..
Absolutely bewitched by the pixel art style & detail of narrative strategy #SciFi #game #CryingSuns
Here is #FirstFive giving you a review of the first five hours of gameplay
https://invidio.us/watch?v=cutrV8Z53GI
As much as I enjoyed #FTL this title has more atmosphere and the combat is more two aircraft carriers engaging with the need to manage your fighters & support ships.
Procedural content & permadeath does not a traditional #roguelike make, but they fuel up emergent playthrough narrative. 👍
On the latest #RoguelikeRadio #Podcast, #DarrenGrey and #KornelKisielewicz talk about the #Doom inspired #roguelike #JupiterHell and it's Early Access release.
http://www.roguelikeradio.com/2019/08/episode-154-jupiter-hell-early-access.html
A deep dive insight into the development of the #game - with lead and story writer.
How to get across an action title that is actually turn based built like a traditional roguelike.
Use the slogan:
"It's like Chess, with shotguns!"
Shoutout on podcast for @gamingonlinux
Some sound indie game developer advice from #JeffVogel of Spiderweb software here.

If you like deep story based #RPG #game then you should check out their collection of games from the past 25 years.
As an #ASCII fan of traditional #roguelike games I can appreciate the power of player imagination over actual presentation.
Jeff's games serve a niche that has been profitable for him. I always enjoy his take on #gamedev issues.
#ASCII #roguelike #game #Angband is still getting updates.

This is phenomenal news!
Out of the ashes of #roguelike D**MRL #game (formerly known as #DoomRL) the birth of #JupiterHell was made possible. Today (August 1st 2019) signifies its release into Early Access!
I'd wax lyrical on just how good this take on a space soldier fighting the demonic forces of evil is, but they've made an EA release video that does it so much better than I could.

"It's like Chess with Shotguns."
Works well on #Linux been playing on #MXLinux since early kickstarter alpha
