Third Time's the Charm (I Hope)

I'm a bit hesitant to make this post given how my attempts at the 7DRL Challenge for the last three years have been seriously lacking in success. I didn't even bother declare the failures for the last two since they really got no where before I gave up.

ARRP 2015: Rogue Effect v0.5.5 Released

I got to working on this release only on last Friday and thus didn't quite get everything in I had planned. But I didn't want the Annual Roguelike Release Party go by without a release, especially since it's been so long since I have gotten anything out. So here's Rogue Effect v0.5.5.

MSE and Windows Defender Being Overaggressive

The latest updates (or some update within the last two weeks or so) to Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender made them detect Drakefire Chasm as trojan. As far as I know, this is a false positive. The v1.3.2 zip has been sitting in dropbox unchanged for about 1.5 years and is quite unlikely it has suddenly become a trojan in there.

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.

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...
