    Default 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!

    Tiles is really stretching it.

    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

    Looks like definition of 'tile's in kickstarter video for me. (game plays in ASCII mode, PC is essentially immobile icon, etc ). Gameplay description.... does not have single feature not covered by DoomRL 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.

    So, it's reskin for cash grabbing reasons then, right? (cause I can't find single thing which makes it significantly different from DoomRL in their kickstarter description and from past I've learned not to expect stuff which is not promissed)
