Haha, I like those ideas but there’s never ending complexity down that path. Currently puddles at binary: either they exist or they don’t, and things burn if they’re tagged as flammable. I could make a puddle a combination of things but that would be the start of the biggest side quest imaginable!

Definitely go for it! I think it's always good to have things interact in as many different ways as possible, and that's why I went with a drinkable flammable throwable liquid as opposed to oil or something

I figure there's something realistic about getting terrible treasure - I mean, these are people living in a dungeon. They're hardly life's success stories, so maybe it's fine that their prize possessions are sometimes garbage!

hey, great job. I got down to floor 15 or so and the game crashed when I used the slice ability on a uruk. I only caught the error message briefly and it said assert with a >= comparison I think before the window closed

I also regret having anything to do with the mouse, in hindsight it was truly the start of a slippery slope towards the evils we experience today

It’s basically just a combination of prefabs pieces together with a few more complicated steps. I borrowed the algorithm off Zorbus although it’s done a little bit differently in terms of how the dungeon is structured. The author of Zorbus wrote an interesting article on it that I recommend!

that second injured guy was sociopathically set up by me when i attacked him unprovoked, brought him to near death, offered him terms to surrender and then led a healer over to him to get him healed as a demonstration

every ascension ever has been a massacre. There was never a more evil magic item than a blessed scroll of genocide in nethack

real gnome on level 1 with wand of death vibes, although probably not quite nethack levels of unfair
