Rogue is OUT ON STEAM! (ED NOTE: It's not actually out just this minute. It was supposed to be unlocked an hour ago, but still isn't. So, this first statement was a lie.)

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we are introducing a friendly competition here at the ol' JC BBS.

In this thread, we will continually attempt to one-up each other's scores, with the ultimate goals of having fun and improving at the game!

If you wish to be a part of this competition, please announce your intentions here!

HAPPY ROGUEING!

My name is Pinback and I intend to participate!

Count this stalwart warrior in!

From Pixel Games Twitter:

Release dates are estimates on submission, then you have to wait for approval before the release clock starts, actual release will be Thursday

So... if you want to get a head start on this, you're going to have to play the free version.

Which I did.

1965 gold pieces. Quint killed by a bolt on level 15

It's listed as "Coming soon". Is that a euphemism for "down for retooling?"

Wait a minute, didn't you write one of these? I think you even had me as a character, in which you used an ISA wheelchair symbol as one of the monsters.

My name is Tansin A. Darcos and I disapprove of this message.

You mean........................ THIS?!!?

Shift-arrow-key doesn't work for me in the DOSBox version. Can anyone else get that to work? If the Steam version fixes that, that's reason enough to buy it. Shift-hjkl works, but I never got used to that movement scheme.

What does shift arrow key do?

Walks in one direction until something interesting happens. Quicker (and safer) than moving space-by-space.

Ok, fast mode. You can do the same thing by hitting F and then a direction. You can also use scroll lock in some versions.

MV fucking P.

I've been crushed by Paul.

Then you know what time it is.

Okay, it's out on Steam!

It's three bucks, but if you act fast, you can get it for the low low price of $2.54!

Let's GET ROGUEING!

If you would like to run it in a window instead of full-screen, and at a resolution higher than the tiny 320x240 default, let me know! I am now an EXPERT at configuring this thing for modern audiences!

(I, too, intend to participate.)
