Grab your copy, read (at least) the entry for IV-11 so you know all things going on and,above all, enjoy it.
In other less shameful order of things, in the next days I will be releasing a new update of #ZMAngband :) #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev I know this is pure self ego-stroking, and might delete later, but, dude this review has me purring xD

Oh and it's a review on a very ooold patch, would love to read an updated version.
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev hello there! Latest release, III.29 is already up and ready for grabbing! With some less bugs and more additions to Bestiary/Inventory!
-Link in bio-
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev tomorrow I'll be releasing a new update with two less bugs after a folk on itch found out Door Destruction magic action (rod/wand/spell) was doing nothing. Had to rewrite couple code lines and now is working. I mean, now the doors literally blow up xD
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelikes #roguelikedev
Latest release, III.17 Is up and ready for the grabbing!
With less bugs and more of the good stuff :) Monsters, demoniacal jewelry, one more Ego brand, more items for the Inventory...
Yeah! Go get your copy! Link in my bio :)
So, my little kid has seen me meddling with my #ZMAngband Variant for some time now, and he goes like, papa, I wanna be a programmer like you, I wanna learn. And me, being honest, told him, look H, I'm no programmer, just an aficionado miraculously hitting the correct keys (and not always). But...
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev
On the way to 1400 !!! downloads! It just blows my mind. Getting good reviews and kind warm comments. Slowly growing a small community of this Z variant's players.
Working on more stuff to add to the Lore, which btw, is a Dark Fantasy cauldron now.
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev heads up, for II-24b latest release is out of the oven!
Packing the new features that have been talked about lately, plus bunches of additions to the Bestiary /Inventory. Several minor bugs fixed too.
Keep on hacking! Link in bio :)
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev as soon as I can, likely tomorrow, I will be releasing the new update :)) with the new features and BUNCHES of new additions to monsters/objects/scrolls/potions/jewelry etc
Keep on moving forward!! The Z spirit is strong!
#ZMAngband #roguelikedev #traditionalroguelikes done! Function created, hardcoded, recompiled, tested and works fine.
Another long craved feature in the variant. Now you can just lock your doors and will get a minor disturb when a monster opens it :)
How cool.
#ZMAngband #roguelikedev #traditionalroguelikes now, seeing the succes of declaring my own functions in the Z code, I'm having thoughts of coding another long dreamed action: locking doors. Not spiking them up, which is cool and in my variant can be done with several diverse sharp objects, I'm...
#ZMAngband #roguelikedev #traditionalroguelikes Ancient Z Code was not gonna be tamed easily into the eating dead foes shenanigans, so it came in conflict with the existing special actions that every race had, and started acting weird, suppressing those actions or refusing to work, flat out. But
Well, blame it on the OG roguelikes! U can eat corpses on #Adom , #NetHack ...but not on a *band, until now xD #ZMAngband joined the club, following on the steps of @causticwarden.bsky.social and his snacking on dead foes. Oh but keep in mind food poisoning!
#ZMAngband #roguelikedev #traditionalroguelikes devs gotta dev (even small humble variant ones like me) sooo.....
Now you can fight back starvation by eating fresh corpses. Boy, this was a lonnng dreamed feature that I wanted to code in the variant since my journey began! Woohoo :D
#roguelikesunday in loving memory of my fallen Skaven Rogue. Defeated the #Forvalaka among many others. Took 2 orcs and an ogre priests of Chaos to bring him down. And only bc I got too cocky and overconfident. #ZMAngband
#ZMAngband #roguelikedev #traditionalroguelikes Small update released with some necessary bug fixes that could not wait.
II-15 is up for grabs. A bigger update is a-brewing but this one needed to be available bc some folks were have weird bugs crashing their runs. Targeting gets simpler /bugless.
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev the decision has been taken, targeting was buggy and anyway I never liked it. So,godspeed. But not all is lost,you still can choose the 'c' closest target when ranged and also, you always can go octo-way. Next update will see a number of bugs gone.
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev couple players have mentioned crashing when targeting on win11. Revisited the code a bunch of times. No errors no warnings from the compiler, works ok on win10 /Wine. Considering to take the oldschool way and go full octo way only.
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev Update is available already! New II.8 release is up! Take a look to the machete_readme to go over the details and 'minutiae' :D packing a punch, this one!
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev ...hard to bend to my will this time. But with adequate prayers and offerings to the Omnissiah, I was granted a victory.
This is a big step forward to me. Enter the Flea Market and Thrift store from now on :))
And more stuff! No spoilers! Hack On!
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev news for next update. It's coming with some new stuff. E.g., Vanilla Town is gone forever. Amber casts endless shadows, and you start every zangnilla run in a new Shadow Town. Also, there is a new store available, and boy, the Ancient Zang Code was...
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev still glued to fckn' #FontForge and getting some decently nice designs. .fon fomat is like trying to read a throwing of ritual bones, pff, ridiculous. Sometimes I feel like a paleodev...
#ZMAngband #variant #roguelikedev new release day! I.29 is up for grabs! Fresh new baked Frankie font, Combat/Magic code polishing finished. More newly added Creatures/Items. More color customization. Very happy with the results!
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev as I'm testing more reworked code regarding the outdated magic system inherited by my ancestors, I have to run weird race/class combos. Well I never expected a Mindflayer Paladin of Death would be SO much utterly FUN to play. Geez. Ridiculously awesome.
#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev user reports a starting issue. Please, anyone on win 11 can confirm that the latest version starts? Thank you in advance. So far it was going fine. On win 10, and under Wine on Linux works perfect. Oh and has anyone tried it under #Crossover for Macos?
#nightshift #roguelikedev #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike first pic, encountered ToadKiller Dog (any #BlackCompany fan around?) displayed old normal ascii. Second pic encountered Mughash hidind in a small vault. New characters displayed. Notice the @ and the ! come from different fonts, and walls!
