Congratulations!
colordrops•5mo ago
This is crazy in a good way
t222ic•5mo ago
it actually … is?
samrus•5mo ago
This is great. Old school game dev where youd built the whole engine optimized for the game rather than using an over generalized mess like unity or unreal
h1fra•5mo ago
Programming might be a roguelike game, you fail many times at a task, starting from scratch again and again, until you master the field
lock1•5mo ago
Real life might be a (hardcore) roguelike game too! ... except you can't restart on failure or reroll your starter kit
tigerlily•5mo ago
And that's the trouble with death in rl, the permanence was never implied.
monsieurbanana•5mo ago
> except you can't restart on failure

The jury's still out in that one

I know engineers don't like marketing but guys please please put screenshots before anything

Edit: okay I see them now but I quit the page once and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Severian•5mo ago
I use NP++ almost my entire day, and this would be great for short breaks. Awesome job!
raspyberr•5mo ago
It's funny that this roguelike is advertised as a roguelite and most roguelites are advertised as roguelikes.
mcv•5mo ago
Yeah, the word "roguelike" seems to have rapidly lost its meaning these past couple of years.
darkfloo•5mo ago
It was always pretty nebulous, relevant video by DoshDoshington https://youtu.be/FT6XfaHgyh0?si=xayqzhkkmYjB4_UC
dolni•5mo ago
No, it wasn't always nebulous. Roguelike was a well-established genre for decades before it got hijacked and now means nothing.

Like all genres, games within the roguelike genre (or what some people call "traditional roguelikes") have some variance. But if you played two games in the "traditional roguelike" genre, you'd definitely feel the similarities.

These days if you pick two random games on Steam with the "roguelike" tag, you're going to get two experiences which are not even reminiscent of the other.

Great video
jghn•5mo ago
I played a *lot* of rogue in the early 80s. I can't remember a single game marketed as a "roguelike" that I've played that reminded me of playing rogue.
mcv•5mo ago
I haven't played Rogue, but I've played a lot of Moria, Nethack, and AdoM. Those are what I think of when I hear "Roguelike", although even AdoM might be stretching it a bit with its massive non-random outdoor area.
GuB-42•5mo ago
Nowadays, roguelike = permadeath + procedural generation, roguelite = roguelike with some elements that carry over the next game.

The actual roguelikes that look like Rogue: text based, turn-by-turn dungeon crawlers are often now called "traditional roguelikes".

At first glance, it looks like a traditional roguelike, but maybe some elements carry over, putting it in the "roguelite" territory.

mcv•5mo ago
What do you mean by "carry over"? Even in Nethack, you can find the graves of previous characters.
Der_Einzige•5mo ago
The term for OG roguelikes is the "Berlin interpretation" of roguelikes.
dolni•5mo ago
The meaning degraded much earlier than just a couple years ago. People thought it was cool so they latched onto it. It seems like that process started 7-8 years ago, maybe even a bit further back.

this is the kinda github account I follow, peep their other work
