Not as far as I know but if you play as a succubus you can recruit other succubi and each succubus can charm an enemy and make them a follower so in the right circumstances you can potentially snowball it into an army of succubi and npcs.
Reminds me of Nethack where demons can summon demons that then summon other demons, sometimes even more powerful ones, so you can run into one minor demon, think no big deal, but then a few rounds later you're dealing with Yeenoghu, Demogorgon and Orcus and a bunch of other shit as well.
Looks pretty tl;dr, you really don't need to know all that much to get to the end of Angband tbh. Most straightforward of all the big traditional roguelikes imo, generally applies to other *bands too.
Common roguelike design; always appreciated
Thanks, but I was asking about Path of Achra. I've won Angband with every class except rogue when I got bored, since. The lparchive linked helped me a lot. If you liked it, check out the TOME 2.0 lparchive from the same guy, just reading about the ways you can break the game like a twig is hilarious:
I mean, I'm just sayin', for the sake of anybody who might find Angband intimidating.
Just googled and only saw something for his "wife" (?) Elly: https://github.com/elly
Oh, right. Sorry.
So I confused the two. Lools like "Elly" does programming work once or twice a year tops.
C/C++ would've been the default option in the 80s/90s, or for forks of older projects, but it's persisted as the roguelike language of choice into the 20th century. I actually don't know of any roguelikes that are both 1) open source and 2) complete that are written in any other language. There have been a few attempts in C#/.NET at least (ADOM2 iirc).
I completely forgot about this game after the fiasco a while back, mostly because it was also blatantly unfinished and the devs were too busy politicking to work on the game, did they just throw it out into the wild because they couldn't be bothered with keeping it as an Early Access game or is it an honest to God 1.0?
Which fiasco is that?
A minor one, devs got pissy because Sseth's fanbase came into their discord and...did nothing really, but the devs locked it down and started making weird claims like "nazi raid" and whatnot. The devs are the part of usual suspects, you know the ones. Which is unsurprising considering their publisher. In terms of annoyance they tend to keep to themselves more than other furfags which that is surprising, but there's still moments where they pop their head over the counter, shout some inane shit, and then go back to their echo chamber.
Some of their heads are screwed on somewhat, but not all. When I was interested in the game, updates were "timely" because they had barely anything of substance, it took them most of the game's EA cycle to actually finish a lot of the main things but I swear to fucking God they put more effort into patching any loophole that could kill the furfag dev's tranny OC than anything. The community is also filled with troons and whatnot but c'mon, like anyone of us would look into the major parts of any community. You know the Templars? You'll straight up get banned for mentioning them in a positive light, as well as asking to join them. The reason? Same as the Enclave for The Frontier:
I’m having a great time with REDACTED, it plays like a dream on the Deck and it’s ball bustingly hard (or I’m just bad, same thing)
I've always liked Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead. It's my favourite zombie apocalypse simulator.
