ElonaPlusCustom-GX VS crawl

I found a fork of CGX that is updated to 2.18, made from JianmengYu. As soon as i start it though, Defender gives me a warning about the executable being a trojan. VirusTotal says the same. I wanted to reach out to the creator of the fork but i have not seen any way to contact him. The original CGX which JianmengYu fork originates from never gave me any problems though. Only this version specifically is flagged as a trojan.

Get Elona+ Custom GX here, and then make sure you read the download's ReadMe to then download the actual Elona game.

Correct, here is the link for the github of custom GX : https://github.com/Ruin0x11/ElonaPlusCustom-GX

Hi guys, I'm new to elona and recently installed elona plus as well as customgx - the custom gx download was from a github page: https://github.com/Ruin0x11/ElonaPlusCustom-GX . I regularly see the same page being promoted in this sub and on the discord etc. so I was surprised when 2 different antivirus applications flagged it. could anyone elaborate on why this might be, and whether or not the download is safe?

Hmm, got the download link from a megalink that was attached to the github repo of GX work: https://github.com/Ruin0x11/ElonaPlusCustom-GX

Nah, E+CGX hasn't been updated yet. You can call your pets back from the dead by visiting the bartender in the lower right corner of Vernis

It's probably not as rigorous as what you're thinking of but the devs of DCSS have cited online win rates of certain combinations as the impetus for balance changes before.

In a similar vein, see Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a free and open-source roguelike that's been continuously developed by volunteers for 20 years: http://crawl.develz.org/

They are entirely too humanoid. I mean, look at these splash screens: Kiku, Ignis, Chei. While those images shouldn't be taken as canonical, they at least demonstrate the general inhumanity of the Crawl pantheon.

Since you like turn-based games too, try some old-school roguelikes. Many are open-source freeware so you have nothing to lose but time. I've been playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for almost 10 years.

Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games.

For people who don't follow trunk, Okawru's gifting has been changed (and arguably* nerfed):

My personal first timer recommendation? Maybe Nethack or Dungeon crawl?

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - Free traditional roguelike with fair mechanics and a lot of variety between species/skill/god choices (~25 gods and maybe with the exception of sif/veh and oka/trog, they are very distinct). The tiles are great. There's many developers and they are very welcoming of code or vault contributions. Reducing incentives to play tediously is one of the goals. Easily hundreds of hours of gameplay for free. Playable online (connecting to a server through your browser/terminal) or offline (terminal or tiles version). There have been win streaks of 50+ games with a variety of species/background combos so you know it's mostly fair(it IS possible for rng to give you an unwinnable game), but it's very difficult if your goal is to win every game.
