Rogue DC

[DCEmu_Newsposter]

Kamjin has been hard at work and releases another game for your enjoyment, heres the news from the great man himself:[br][br]A port of the Game Rogue.[br]Since I got lucky, and got a hold of some older source code, enough for a test release. With a DC Keyboard it's pretty much playable with a few annoyances, some minor bug, and missing features. Enjoy and if you find any problems that aren't listed let me know over at DCEMU, or DCEMULATION. [br][br]Download this new game at This Page

Whats the game about for those that arent familiar with it ?

[Eric]

lol from looking at it, it might be one of those old type of Text RPG's with a little guy on the screen or it might be the one i used to play when i was younger where you have to go into rooms and find keys and kill enemies i cant remember

[Kamjin]

There's actually a newer build of the game that doesn't need the
keyboard, as well as other fix-ups/enhancements, I had put it up
literally minutes after the news about chardemo was posted.
Until it's mirrored you can grab it off.

thanks just going to make a new page

Rogue is what started all the following
Moria, Hack, Nethack, Angband etc..

your job is to make it down to level 20, get an
amulet, then make you way back to the top
it's pretty much the "mother" of RPG's

Take a look..

the first one had controller support aswell?

[Kamjin]

Test release.. was mainly to find any real bugs..
The controller could only move the character..
(u/d/l/r) you couldn't
do any commands from the controller, so you'd
kinda be stuck on level 1,

The new one has all the commands accesible with
the dpad, and triggers, so it's 100% playable

.. the only thing missing is saving.. in a sense it's
not a major thing since you can't reload save's
after you die, they're mainly intended to let you
stop and continue later.. I haven't created code
to check how large a save file will be , so I'm
holding off on enabling it, until I'm 100% sure
of how big they can get, and I can check before
I write to the vmu.. so no one ends up with those
nasty missing block problems..
