Cardinal Quest : Roguelike seeking funding!
« on: January 24, 2011, 10:25 »

A friend of mine is seeking funding for a roguelike game in prototype phase. I truly wish him the best of luck, especially that if he succeeds, that bodes well for the whole idea of making roguelikes for a living! So, check out Cardinal Quest, support it and spread the word :)

"Cardinal Quest is an arcade-style dungeon crawler inspired by 80s classics such as Gauntlet, Red-Box D&D and Golden Axe."

To the uninformed, void* is the developer of the project, and as seen he's been a ChaosForge supporter for a long time now :)

Pardon me but I have a couple of questions:
What will make your game stand out from other rogue-like games?
I personally prefer ASCII to tiles, will it be an option?

What will make your game stand out from other rogue-like games?

It is more like a mix between an arcade-game and a roguelike: no tons of key-bindings to learn, just start up and get into the action immediately (not unlike many of Kornel's games, of which I am a huge fan). 

The magic system for example is also in the process of being reworked and I believe will be quite unlike the way most RLs handle the issue:

The spells you can cast are determined by finding wands in the dungeon, which have unlimited charge but a considerable cool-down. The Cool-down depends on your character's spirit stat, which in turn is determined by your class (like all stats) and the items you have equipped/worn/wielded.


I personally prefer ASCII to tiles, will it be an option?

No, sorry.

You know for such small files you can always use free file-sharing sites such as www.mediafire.com :)

Hopefully it didn't contain a .exe since gmail filters those out IIRC.

This VERY old (it had to be patched for the Tandy 2000) game is doing alot of what you want to do, you may be able to pick up a thing or two from it.
