totes! what are you playing lately? @ashinadash@hexbear.net convinced me to try tactics ogre since i like stragedy games
Been playing an old Roguelite called Castle of the Winds from 1989, it's got many of the classic Roguelike features you might expect but it's a bit more casual friendly with mouse support, a save/reload feature and tile based graphics instead of ASCII. It's a lot of fun.
I LOVE THAY GAME OMG
I spent so many dumb hours in that game when I was tiny, the tiles were pretty great. I can still remember the layout of the first floor with the single dumb kobold lol.
I think I was finally about to beat it at one point and nicked the second game but I dont remember that as much.
I remember being endlessly fascinated with the textures of the money and all the different armours, and I love paper doll games because of this game. The colours were magnificent too lol, that shade of cyan for the floors is burned into my brain.
Edit: I never did figure out how the church spells worked in the town
Me too! So many hours as a kid spent exploring the dungeons using the light spell to turn everything cyan. It's been a trip playing it as an adult. I actually know which stats to boost on character creation instead of "maximum strength because I am a big tough guy and I don't know what dexterity means."
haha oh man the character creation was so win 3.11core i loved the sliders - there weren't even numbers, right?
You're right no numbers, just gotta guesstimate with your eyeballs. Perfect for a kid with zero idea what the fuck they are doing lmao
I couldn't get it to work exactly how I wanted it (so opted for a version i run from my drive) but here's a browser version if you want to take a quick step down memory lane: https://archive.org/details/win3_CasWin1
DM me and later on when I get home I'll send you a link to the emulator version I'm using that you can have on your hard drive that runs via a single batch file, it has both parts 1 and 2
lol yep i set them randomly each time! totally clueless, oh man i'll check the link out tonight, thanks!
oh, sick, would love that, would work with Wine you think?
