roguelike VS BrogueLite

Latest release

Oathbreaker (GitHub, initial writeup)

Try out the latest release! Actually, don't bother.

But there is... only it's not in-game, it's in the online docs. I guess I'll have to find a way to put it in-game if I want to keep some hope of folks understanding it.

I ditched the idea of completing the in-game tutorial for this release, instead opting to have a walkthrough in the docs. See it here (It's not... quite done yet though. I still need to upload those GIFs and such.)

Try out the latest release!

For anyone else who wants to use it: the code is here, but note that there is a lot of cleanup for me to do before I can make it a standalone library as zig-sentry. I hope to complete it slowly over the course of the next few weeks, but no promises.

Try out the latest release! Or use the Replit (Use fullscreen and press Ctrl+L since the starting window size is too small.)

Replit. Note that you'll need to enable fullscreen and hit Ctrl+L as the starting console window is too small. Keybindings are listed here.

If you're looking for an easy version of Brogue my favorite to this day is still Brogue Lite, unfortunately not up to date to the last CE version but I love it:https://github.com/HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueLite

Also, since you've mentioned that you really like to react to what your enemies might to, I must recommend you play the "BrogueLite" (https://github.com/HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueLite) version of the game, since it makes some very welcome changes to the vanilla game if you don't like to be manipulating RNG that much (the most important change is that it eliminates completely the identification minigame).

There's also Brogue Lite, a version of Brogue that removes identification and "cursed crap" items. I like it pretty well - it does a good job removing Brogue's horrifically ritualized early game, aka "try your potions while standing on your head in pool of water..."

And the old repository can still be found here: https://github.com/HomebrewHomunculus/BrogueLite/releases/tag/v1.9.3-hotfix-2

For compiling? Nope, I've built a MacOS executable of a game using Github Actions (in addition to the Win and Linux versions).

No new code, but I've been creating QoL issues for the backlog. I think colour-coded item names will be really great - no more hunting in your inventory for that strength potion. Showing stat requirements in red if you don't meet them will make inventory juggling faster as well.
