I have the oddest need to make an RPG game out of nowhere right now. The heck. D:

@minti I've been feeling the urge to make a roguelike for a while now and I don't know why. D:

@bitshift Because roguelikes are awesome?

@minti Well, yes. But my roguelike needs are more than satisfied by Brogue, so I'm not sure why I still feel like making one. :/

@minti DO IT!

@widget It's a subgenre of dungeon-crawler characterized by a number of things, chiefly random dungeon generation and permadeath. Most of them are either descended from, or partly inspired by the dungeon-crawler Rogue, hence the name.

@widget I can't really explain it well without getting many details wrong so here have a Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike

@widget Nethack is pretty much the defining example of a roguelike, yeah. (Though as I said, !Brogue is actually the one I most enjoy right now, and also the one I would recommend to newcomers to the genre.)

@widget Yeah, death is permanent in Nethack. (Well, you can be saved from a single fatal thing by an amulet of life saving, but once you actually do die, that's it for that character.)
