7DRL Day 2: No Pawn Intended

Yesterday wasn't too a productive day for the 7DRL. I ran into many issues that severely hampered my progress. I think Visual Studio's compiler may be partly to blame. I think it doesn't tolerate my shenanigans as much as the one in Dev-C++ does. The latter IDE didn't seem to like Win 8, however – it is pretty ancient after all – so I decided to try VS instead.

7DRL Announcement: Checkmate in Rouge

After much thought, I eventually ended up taking part in this year's 7DRL Challenge. During the past week, my original idea grew so far beyond of what I would want to attempt to create in seven days that I decided to ditch it. That left me without a plan and thus the hesitation.

Rogue Effect v0.5 Released (Happy New Year's Eve)

It's time for a release again. It's long overdue and the next one will probably take just as long. So don't hold your breath. I do plan to get Rogue Effect to 1.0 during the next year, though. And I sure do hope I succeed 'cause I'd really like to work on something else for a change.

ARRP 2014: Rogue Effect v0.4 Released

People seem to have forgotten this year's Annual Roguelike Release Party. It should be this weekend as it's been six months from the 7DRL Challenge (or so I've been told). Maybe someone should've put up a page for it on Roguebasin. Maybe that someone should've been me. I was going to but never did. And now it feels a bit too late...

Rogue Effect v0.3 Released

I always feel like I've forgotten something I wanted to write on a release post. This time is no exception. But no matter; it probably wasn't anything too important. What is important, is that the new version of Rogue Effect is here. And finally a version one can call a game.

Rogue Effect v0.3 Changelog

The changelog for this version grew bit too long to be included in the release post...

Oh, right; that 7DRL (and about Rogue Effect as well)

This year's 7DRL Challenge went much like last year's for me, i.e. it resulted in failure (as is probably obvious at this point). I should've written this post weeks ago when the 7DRL was more relevant, but as it doesn't really make an interesting story, I guess I just didn't feel like it.
