The time has almost come! Gather all your strengths and build a roguelike, be it your first one or your next one.

A good roguelike is an expression of pure gameplay: as a developer you can turn your ideas into games for the people to enjoy, without the constraints of 3d modeling or expensive graphics creation.

Developing a roguelike also allows you to portrait a theme within the limitations of abstract or simple gfx output, but having imagination as a tool to recreate infinite environments and stories

Summon your indie gamedev friends, be they roguedevs or not for this, the annual roguelike development party!

Yay, thanks for posting this!
This is a much needed distraction from my current project and I think I already know what I'll do :D
I hope that I can finish something this time ~__~

I better get started writing some base code for this.

It has started!

I'm in.

I have a question however...
Do I need to declare myself as competing or can I just post in the wordpress when I am finished?

[Slash - Santiago Zapata]

It'd be best if you declare your entry at usenet. Or at roguetemple forums, or just here and I'll let the roguelike world know about it

I added myself. Thanks Slashie!
