Ascii Dreams: The Quest for Quests - Part One (The Cast)
http://roguelikedeveloper.blogspot.com/2009/10/quest-for-quests-cast-part-one.html
A roguelike developer's diary. Sunday, 18 October 2009. The Quest for Quests - Part One (The Cast). I've played a lot of quests recently: Puzzle Quest, Vampire: the Masquerade, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Far Cry 2, Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, S.T.A.L.KE.R.: Clear Sky and the demo for Armed Assault 2, and stumbling out of these games, it is my intuition that the concept of quests in games is deeply troubled one. Paradoxically, I believe the fixed puzzles I don't like are t...

Ascii Dreams: High Frontier Interstellar 3rd edition design notes - part 1 (Introduction)
http://roguelikedeveloper.blogspot.com/2015/06/high-frontier-interstellar-3rd-edition.html
A roguelike developer's diary. Saturday, 13 June 2015. High Frontier Interstellar 3rd edition design notes - part 1 (Introduction). I have a bad habit of writing variants to games - as you may have noticed. Usually these amount to nothing (my Civilization board game variant), but occasionally they result in large design documents (my Civilisation Revolution expansion) or actual implementations (Unangband, UnBrogue). I look at some of the motivations for doing significant development for the 3rd edition.

A roguelike developer's diary. Monday, 7 July 2014. The Real Roguelike Renaissance. There has been a mini-spate of 'explainer' articles aimed at easing the neophyte gamer into the world of roguelikes: both on Gamasutra ( 'Roguelikes': Getting to the heart of the it-genre. And IGN ( Roguelikes: The Rebirth of the Counterculture. Posted by Andrew Doull. 7 July 2014 at 23:34. 8 July 2014 at 00:12. Rock, Paper, Shotgun normally have better quality articles on this - their staff are much better informed.

Ascii Dreams: UnBrogue postmortem: part 2
http://roguelikedeveloper.blogspot.com/2014/07/unbrogue-postmortem-part-2.html
A roguelike developer's diary. Sunday, 13 July 2014. UnBrogue postmortem: part 2. It has been over a year since my last UnBrogue post-mortem article. Which just goes to show how much time I have spent developing this Brogue variant, which is to say, virtually none. The fourth is one of the new puzzle rooms is similar in theory to a number of the puzzle rooms in UnBrogue. Again, this is because I built it from the same elements already present in Pender's game - and Pender would have noted direct insp...

Labels: ascii dreams roguelike of the year. Now *that* is a great list. Everyone, go play these games, theyre excellent little titles that are hugely underappreciated. 2 January 2014 at 09:59. This does run the gauntlet and gambit pretty deftly for the most part- -good mix of up-and-coming alongside seasoned projects to boot. 3) Catacly...
