Jupiter Hell - a RL kickstarter from the makers of DoomRL (among other things)
Just spreading the word about fellow RL kickstarterers.
Take a look at the modern approach to RL, (probably) applicable to mainstream gaming public.

Heh, interesting, they're based in my city
I don't really like the concept but might support them as a form of local patriotism.

As a big fan of DoomRL, backed this without second thought.

Doomrl is one of my 2 joint-favourite roguelikes. Adom the other. The game's incredible! It's so massively tactical and 'exact'. It's like chess, I can't wait for this release!

It's just DoomRL with tiles, isn't it?
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)

Tiles is really stretching it.Originally Posted by Soirana
Gameplay-wise I have no idea, just saw the link on RL Discord channel. I haven't backed myself (yet?), but I'm going to keep an eye on the campaign. At least it seems like I successfully extorted money from 2 people already

No, doomrl already has tiles (and has had for years). Jupiter hell is a new, original IP. Kornel and chaosforge stopped improving doomrl and started work on jupiter hell as a new game specifically so that they could start to develop it as a serious professional game (since they're not allowed to profit from ID software's IP). It's conceptually similar to doomrl, but absolutely not the same game.

Backed! I don't care even if it is just "DoomRL with tiles", Kornel deserves some compensation for the literally hundreds (if not thousands) of hours I've played his game. (Same reason I backed ADOM FWIW) That being said, though, it seems a little silly to keep insisting it's just DoomRL with tiles when Kornel registered here and went in depth explaining how it isn't.
What is a roguelike?
