Ultimate ADOM graphics
Ultimate ADOM graphics
Good times of day!
I don't know what is your position about open source and all, but I'll take a chance. I'm a big fan of an original nethack game. I tried different tilesets, tried vulture (semi 3d nethack project), tried NethackCocoa (since I use mac as laptop). And nothing is as good as ADOM ultimate' graphics. I tried it on steam and I'm really impressed.
I know that ASCII is a "true" way for playing nethack and all, but... You know, I like nethack a much but I have to agree that ADOM' playing process much more simple and pleasant. It does really matter.
Therefore I have a proposition/request - can you please work somehow with nethack devs or on your own and create ADOM like gui (or at least tiles) for nethack? For me, as for an ordinary user, it does not really matter, which name will be on such project, or if it free or commercial project (I ready to buy it, cos nethack is one of the roots of all roguelikes (imho), so I want to finish it at least once (consider it a "pilgrimage"). I'm sure that many players agree with me).
So.. Can you please pay homage to the roots and make nethack more playable? :) I believe that many players after playing ADOM want to try nethack also and.. just can't cos it's graphics is really terrible.
P.S. I can imagine how hard it can be to implement, since game worlds are really different, game ideas are different, animations (like beam magic etc) are different, "graphic engines" are different (for example, in ADOM hero' tile is really moves smoothly, while in nethack it changes position instantly) etc etc etc.
