I must say I'm interested in seeing how 100 Rogues turns out too! A roughly 15 month development time is essentially forever in the iPhone world, so I'd imagine you have done some interesting things here. There are still so few roguelikes in the app store. I've bought/downloaded them all (and of course made one too... ), currently there are really just three mainstream favorites- Fargoal, Cavern, and Rogue Touch, with iNetHack available for the more hardcore players (DirkZ also has SlashEM in beta as well). We really need to see a few more great ones added to this list! Best of luck, I'll be playing on launch day too.
Same here! But I always liked your Rogue Touch as well as Sword of Fargoal, too. I just wonder about the controls from an early video. It seems strange that you have to touch every edge to move your char in that direction. I'd love sweep controls or an invisible d-pad like in Sword of Fargoal most. Btw... - weren't you supposed to sit in a plane right now?
Hey there, commander, thanks a lot. And by the by, I've played Rogue Touch a good bit, it's pretty cool. We're taking a very very different approach; yours is much truer to the original roguelikes. We're more Shirenish, if you've played that, although we're also certainly our own animal. Anyway thanks. Also did anyone check out the soundtrack yet? I'm anxious to get some feedback on that.
I was going to download it and give it a listen but I'd rather experience within the context of the game. I hope it appears in the Store soon. It's definitely my most anticipated App Store game!
Oh yeah, and we just released this today: an intro movie for the game. This one is for the Human Crusader class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoFPQjWG7gc
Pretty funny stuff. Especially like how true to the genre the intro movie is. (i.e., despite his confidence, this guy is going to go get himself horribly killed)
I did an interview with Keith about the game and it's development. You can check it out on their website. - I personally am so excited!!!
This will be mine! Looks like an amazing game. I just got fargoal and am really getting into the genre now. Next decision is cavern or rogue touch. Any advice? I love the artwork and the multiple classes. The soundtrack from the vids sounds great btw. I like that it has a retro 16 bit sound but yet feels fresh. Reminds me of one of my all time favorites, shining in the darkness for genesis. I am super exicited. One HUGE request, add a hall of fame for your characters. You will die, and for me making it to the hall of heroes, so to speak, is huge. I love competing with the world, but it can be daunting competing with some of the truly dedicated out there! I hope this is good feedback. Please give an update about a submission date! I am having trouble waiting!
Not sure when it's supposed to be submitted, but I believe they said it won't be released until early to mid April.
I'm glad that the devs are taking their time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of pre-release polish. I can't lie though, I am starting to get a bit of an itch. This should be good.
Whoa whoa whoa - I AM the "dev", and as far as I know we're shooting for mid-April. With that said, it may actually end up being something like May 1st, but we're shooting for mid April right now.
