Just discovered this the other day and can't believe this was flying under my radar this entire time. Nifty trailer and the "What is this" section explain things more entertainingly than I ever could hope to. Author is VERY receptive to comments and new ideas despite the unusual...jankiness...of the forum they've got. Next update seems to be a scant few weeks away---if even that long.

What's the good word from folk around these parts? This strikes me as something with ridiculously deep potential, especially since it is quite moddable as well it seems...

Ya know I'd be the one to post on this kinda thing around these parts, lol.

This looks interesting, still have to play it. I've also always been fascinated by the possibilities of ascii graphics done in a modern way.

You mean like this?

PS - D'you think he's got the source code for Quake?

It's like... Geometry Wars and NetHack combined... weird. But, it's pretty cool, and I always hunger for new roguelikes, so... yeah.

Kinda makes me dizzy... like I'm seeing the Matrix for the first time...

Nothing stopping him if he has.
