Sharing Saturday #385
Most of this week was spent fixing bugs in FAangband, which is the game for the current Angband competition. None of these were fountains.

How to make the overworld
I have done some "wilderness generation" in FAangband by having a base type of terrain for each biome type, and then adding "formations" (random groups of selected other terrain types) and then maybe some other areas (grassed clearings in forest, for example). FAangband has discrete wilderness levels, so the scaling/zooming doesn't apply. I am, though, coming up against similar problems to yours in Beleriand, which has a fixed world map with set biomes at the top level, but has to fill in all the terrain in a natural way. Note that Beleriand is still in its very early stages.

Angband vs uMoria vs Sil
It's worth mentioning that First Age Angband makes much more of an effort to keep the Tolkien lore authentic.

Slay the Spire 2 Announced – Using Godot
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.

The Mana World Classic – Open-Source Mmorpg
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/

Trog
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.

Games you can play for 20+ hours and not get bored?
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.

any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games.

Game to Play at Work
My personal first timer recommendation? Maybe Nethack or Dungeon crawl?
- Early thoughts on the new shapeshifter (transmuter) mechanics
- Games without a hunger mechanic.

What is your favourite open source game(s)?
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.
