Things are getting more beautiful in #RealmsOfAncardia thanks due to the great decorations drawn by @ravenmore.pl - right now beautifying the character generation screen. Things are coming together in #roguelike #programming.

Starting to add more beautiful decorations to windows in #RealmsOfAncardia: Bottom first, more to come :-)

Interesting. The world map in #RealmsOfAncardia no longer is flat. What do you think?
(ignore the stupid text log)
And thanks once more to @zenorogue.bsky.social for the original implementation idea in bsky.app/profile/zeno... and to @ravenmore.pl for suggesting to use this in #RealmsOfAncardia.

Inspired by @zenorogue.bsky.social 's post about globular ASCII projections (my words) in bsky.app/profile/zeno... I tried that for #RealmsOfAncardia but I guess I have no talent at anything but rectangular 2D maps 🤪

Added a page for my latest sidetrek #BlobRL (while the main focus of work remains #RealmsOfAncardia) - but the blob is too cute to not talk about :-)

Sometimes vacations birth weird ideas (new #roguelike #game #BlobRL ). And no: This won't affect #RealmsOfAncardia negatively...

Character generation is #RealmsOfAncardia is complete enough for now. Just finished the missing last major pieces.

It seems combat in #RealmsOfAncardia will be more complex, differentiated and full of additional tactical choices compared to #ADOM.
Any ideas what the shortcut numbers in the combat stat block might mean?
While you guess I will continue #programming my new #roguelike...

#roguelike #programming can be so much when your custom engine has reached a state where adding such a feature takes less than five minutes :-)

#Skills in #RealmsOfAncardia are the next area that gets a lot of attention. They permeate the game and thus need to be structurally available ASAP.
The current draft is not yet a pleasure to look at but we are getting somewhere... #roguelike #programming

I'm right now busy ripping out my Curses layer from #RealmsOfAncardia in order to rely 100% on my new graphical component architecture. I guess some weird effects are to be expected when #programming a #roguelike but this one is weird... and tough.

And what would the #GrayMouser be without #Fafhrd? Now I dream of being able to play #RealmsOfAncardia in an interesting way without ever having to leave a city :-)

I really like the flexible talent category system in #RealmsOfAncardia... if you e.g. want to build a character like the #GrayMouser it's pretty simple to define your own setup. Here we have a master rogue who is an adept fighter and a novice mage... fits the role model :-)
