Next RL release (2nd half 2012 edition)?
« on: June 30, 2012, 10:55 »

Okay folks!  The last big release was good ol' DoomRL, all spruced up with new stuff.  But we hunger for more, don't we?  Let's give some feedback to Kornel on the next RL that he should make a release of next here.

Comments, discussion are all welcome (as always).

Poll is going to run for 30 days.

I voted for AliensRL, but I would like to mention about DiabloRL as well.

Both games had their (somewhat) stable releases years ago, both of them got tons of bugs and issues reported.
Now (actually, this should be done ~2 years ago ;) ) it is the time to do sth with it.

Well to be had, development on DiabloRL and AliensRL have not ceased, it's just that they have been quite "in-the-background" without actually seeing a release.

So this poll is not so much as a "work on which RL next" poll, but a "release which RL next" one.

I hope the distinction is clearer?  Hahahaha...

We need release of DoomRL, and only after DRL1.0 it's make sense to work on other releases

Voted Aliens, since I really want to like that game, and it will be easier with a better version =)

I also just realized that I'd love to see that hypothetical Roadside Picnic / Stalker RL Kornel mentioned somewhere.

Was in doubt as to what to vote until I read this. Although I'd probably learn to appreciate the other RLs, I'm sticking to Doom; I can't imagine the others being more appealing to me, and with the discussions going on on the forum, there's a lot of great ideas still to be implemented.

It would be awesome.
But im afraid that original (Roadside) cannot be base for RL. There were no fights, no monsters and so.

That's what I like about the idea. Make it somehow that you'd have to avoid the traps and weird phenomena instead of shooting you way though the zone. No idea how exactly it would work, but it sounds lovely.

Well, unless AliensRL development had been hidden from the beta testers, there were no distinctive changes for ...7 months. And the last alpha version is unplayable, so releasing it would be a bad move now. It needs the work to be done.

KK's choice... but personally I'd like to see something to do with exploring a realistically sized city (As in Buildings are the same size inside and out). Think of it as practice for more creative map generating.

Do you lurk on the Chaosforge IRC channel? You can see code commits happen there if you hang around, so you can see the work that happens.

For reference, the most recent SVN revision of AliensRL happened on the 18th of June, just a couple weeks ago.

But it is always good to hear that some work is being done :) !

I vote for BerserkRL. Yeah, all others could be interesting, and all that, but it's been a long time since Berserk was in the spotlight, and in my honest opinion, shouldn't be left in the dark.

While last release of DiabloRl and AliensRL was about a year before, the release of BerserkRL was much earlier. And this game has more potential to be different from "classiacal" roguelikes.

The main reason I didn't vote for DoomRL is that I'd hate to lose my hard-earned diamonds now that I have them =)

Doom RL. Ideally with some method of retaining rank earned in the previous release.

Eh?  Rank is related to badges, and since the badges were reworked, they didn't quite carry over exactly.

Hopefully the badge requirements are fixed by now.

Don't forget, voting ends on July 30.  Your vote is important because it gives Kornel valuable community feedback on what the community wants.  It is not binding (of course), but it will be taken seriously as the voice of the community.

So if you haven't voted yet, please do!  There's ample time to do it.

QFT. Indeed it will!

Next DoomRL release will happen on it's own schedule, but the priority between the others here is a very important factor for me!

Voting is now closed!  Thanks for all who voted.

According to the response, DoomRL is in the lead (but Kornel says that runs on its schedule).

In decreasing order of preference for the next RL release are: AliensRL, DiabloRL and BerserkRL.

Be assured that the preferences are being taken into consideration.  Even as I am writing this, we already have a BETA version of AliensRL released for testing for all supporters and AliensRL beta testers.  So, if you'd like to help with making a new AliensRL, donate to be a supporter and join in the BETA testing over here.

Ed: Thread locked -- thanks for participation.
