DownFall - DoomRL's ancient predecessor

(1/1)

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Not many of you may know, but DoomRL started out as a traditional fantasy dungeon crawl -- it was thanks to a suggestion from Aerton that it was turned to the DoomRL theme. I actually took some time to fix, compile and clean up the original source, and even placed it on SourceForge.

This is *not a playable game*, rather a prototype -- it's probably still buggy and undocumented, but for anyone interested where DoomRL came from, it might prove of some interest :). You may notice that you can poke around the lua files freely (the original was fully hardcoded), also the source is brought up to date with other ChaosForge roguelikes, so it may be a good start for anyone wanting to use the Valkyrie library to do a roguelike.

You can download the game here : downfall-0.1.zip
The source is available on Sourceforge : downfall

Oh, and if you manage to get deeper than 3-4 levels please tell :P.

P.S. it's not to be confused with another roguelike named Downfall -- DoomRL's Downfall was earlier, but was never mentioned in public up to today.

2Dev can get to level 100, even if there are only 5 levels.

I'll be sure to check out this piece of history when I get the time.

Oh, but I already did, I reached level 100.
In binary.
