 You did it! You completed 100 levels of DoomRL! You're the champion! Press

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 301 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 263 of those were killed.
 5 of those were killed by something unknown.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 22 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 9 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 8 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------
I am the victor.  I have achieved the victory!

Notes:
1 - So many more deaths occurred between this win and my previous landmark (the plain N! win).
2 - It's a bit embarrassing, but yet again the win was with the Blaster.  Can't be helped, a pistol build gets a significant boost with that Unique. If I found the Trigun or Beretta on a run I reckon I could probably win with those too.  Perhaps I'll try to win without a pistol Unique.
3 - Cateye changes the game once you get it.  Pre-Cateye, hide around corners and doors and fire.  Post-cateye, try to stay in the OPEN (while avoiding crowds).  I noticed from the leaks that this trait is gone in the next version?  Kornel do you dislike how this trait plays out?  The game doesn't become risk free, just different, after taking Cateye.  Perhaps you can turn it into a Master Trait rather than removing it entirely, and use trait restrictions to increase the danger a bit if someone wants to take this.
4 - Cateye + Intuition actually worked really well together.  Intuition I think is really valuable in Ao100 because in the last half of the game you're just trying to find the stairs without using up to many resources (or dying) and sensing where enemies are helps with that.  Cateye on the other hand helps a lot with the actual shooting.  Previously I played with only Intuition and it was really annoying to keep re-adjusting the firing cursor when shooting at intuition-dots.  Not to say your accuracy is greatly reduced when doing this without Cateye.
5 - Son of a gun + Son of a bitch also actually works pretty well together.  Another combination I didn't use before, as it seems that for a Pistol user, Son of a bitch is such a low % boost trait numerically, but having both of these really boosts the chance a pistol hit will knockback, which is pretty darn useful.
6 - There was a really scary situation at around floor 50 where I lost my Malek's Armor to a crowd of strong monsters, when a phase device doesn't move you away from danger things get rather messy.
7 - The biggest (unfair) risk in Ao100 after you've got through the initial weakling-player portion of the game is going down some stairs and finding yourself far from a door with >10 strong monsters in sight.
8 - I could've went for 100% (especially without ammo worries due to the Blaster), but I didn't feel like going through the additional work (and the non-trivial risk) of clearing some of the later floors - I just wanted the win.

There's not much I want to do further with this game for now; I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the other modes, as they seem to be just various hinderences to the player's capabilities.  I'm more of a fan of overpowering the player but also upping the danger to match.  So I'll probably play a few mundane N! runs while we all wait for the new version.  Hopefully that one will be mod-able!

Sidenote - perhaps N! Ao100 should allow saving every 25 floors.  That way you could leave the game after 1.5-2 hours rather than having to slog through 6-8 hours in one go.

Thanks Kornel for the game - I enjoyed it a lot.  Actually it's inspired me to start rolling my own shooting-focused roguelike.  Hopefully I'll have something playable soon.

Demo attached.

Nobody has any comments?  I'm sure those who haven't developed their own styles for UV or N! could gain some insight from watching the demos Dervis and I have posted.

When you playback a demo, you can have it played at accelerated speeds.  Watching at 2x will still probably let you see all the subtleties, and even at 16x you'll see overall what the player did.
