They call upon thee, mortal, to help control the quality of their summoning spell… Read on, if you dare…

AliensRL 0.8 Incoming!

Source: AliensRL

No, AliensRL is not dead! The project has been in a zombie state since 2007, but a few months ago, on the forum a call to beta testers was posted, and beta tests commenced. While work was focused mainly on stabilizing the codebase, several new features managed to sneak in.

AliensRL 0.8 has just entered Release Candidate 1 version, you can expect the release to appear in June!

Night City – a 1997 roguelike project

Source: Lost in Chaos

I’ve been organizing folders on my HD, and ventured into the cellar storeroom of the ChaosForge — where abandoned roguelike projects long forgotten lie. Thanks to the magic of DosBox, and thanks to the fact that there were executables lying around, I managed to dust off some of them and take a pilgrimage to the past.

One of those projects was Night City, about which I would want to tell you about today…

While the blog was silent, the smiths at the Forge were busy. As most of the developments currently happen out of sight of the public, I decided that a short update is in order…

DoomRL 0.9.9.1 for Linux has been released!
This is still an unstable version -- I only tested it for a few
minutes after building it. Lua (lua5.1) is probably not linked
statically, and you'll need timidity and sdl/sdl_mixer installed also.
Test it and report how it works!

I’ve recently set up two Twitter accounts and it seems I’m quite fond of the medium.

ChaosForge @ Twitter (chaosforge_org)

Will be low traffic and will contain important chaosforge related news. Also some intermediate news about an upcoming release might be posted there (and only there!). The feed is also presented on the main site. Will not be used for discussion, just for announcements.

Kornel Kisielewicz @ Twitter (epyoncf)

This will be a more high-traffic account, with details on what I currently work on (and probably the #1 source for the latest happenings). This is my personal account, so feel free to @me through it. A feed from it is posted on the blog. Any ideas, announcements or updates that are too small (or I have too little time) to be made into a blog post will be posted to Twitter.

Feel free to follow :).
