I meant more as in survival in a modern wilderness setting.

[JimmyBignuts]

I'm not sure if it counts but Schiffbruch (http://tigsource.com/articles/2007/07/02/schiffbruch) is randomly generated and tile-based.

[Melly]

I played it, but it's a bit flawed in some areas and a bit too limited.

I want one so detailed I can eat my own arm off to keep from starving.

That would rock so hard.

[JimmyBignuts]

That could make for some incredible Dwarf Fortressesque post-mortem stories.

[Melly]

And use the bitten off arm stub as a weapon to push away pumas.

[Mitchard]

Flight simulator rougelike.

ladies and gentlemen...

+ portal RL  - now you are thinking with "0"s
+ metal gear solid RL - @ eater (survival)
+ windows vista - the RL (featuring @ as hero (cursor))
+ world of warcraft RL with legendary / of burning hate...

[JimmyBignuts]

Oh god I think I just had a mindgasm.

Matrix RL

As a recently freed human mind you must escape the matrix. You do this by fighting your way through various subways, warehouses, street and multi-level buildings. On each level you must find the phone to leave, eventually leading to the real world.

Potential unique features

-A parallel hacking game based in the real world to help out your matrix character
-Guns, lots of guns
-Kung fu
-Keanu Reeves ->@

Fix'd.

[Xion]

I dunno if steampunk has been done, but...I was bored.

[JimmyBignuts]

Very nice mockup. I've not tried it yet but the only steampunk RL that I know of is Steamband (http://angband.oook.cz/steamband/steamband.html).

[Gainsworthy]

Ooh, that looks wonderful. Gentleman all the way through to Unscrupulous Villain! My Word!

Modern Tactics RL

In Modern Tactics RL you would play as a disgraced military commander who's last ditch attempt to regain his lost honor is to join the enemy's side. In the beginning the focus is mainly on the commander and his many vices. As the story progresses the commander loses everything and must swallow his pride and fight for something more then just himself.

Features:

*Large Scale turn-based battles
*Small Scale real-time battles
*Ability to recruit and level-up individual units
*Many side-quests that probe into the main character's backstory
*Solo (traditional RL gameplay) and squad based gameplay.

I think an RL with a more fleshed-out story would be awesome. Don't get me wrong, I love the crawl, but man, sometimes I want a little bit of story to go with my grind lol...

And btw...Jimmy, Submarine RL is a fucking great idea.

[Hideous]

But the submarine has to be yellow.

[FARTRON]

I'm with everyone else in favor of the submarine gentlemanlike, but I think he should be a bit more of a revenge driven anti-statist, ala Captain Nemo.

I've been thinking about potential expansions to the roguelike genre too.

Algiers RL

Algiers, 1956. Lead the French paratroopers in their noble effort to pacify the restive muslim population and dismantle the FLN. Combat wildcat strikes, police slayings and bombings. Utilize check points, prisoner torture and bombings.

-Procedural casbah
-Dynamic FLN regenerates until decapitated
-Colonial racism

Turner RL

Run a corporate mercenary through the dark world of 20X6. VIP protection, assassination, kidnapping, and of course corporate defection. A vast arsenal of weaponry, body mods, environmental sensors and surgeons are at your fingertips.

-Protect the hackers!
-Defuse the headbomb!
-Escape the railgun!
