ASCII to the max!
« on: February 05, 2010, 11:04:01 pm »
Anyone know any good ASCII games out there? By ASCII, I mean graphics wise and games that aren't rouge likes. I've seen a couple, such as ASCIISector, but was wondering if there was more out there in that flavor.

Infiniverse single player trial thing should be coming out..eventually. Technically it should be out already, but some hard to troubleshoot windows problems have delayed the release.

http://aave.phatcode.net/infiniverse/?p=news.php will tell you when it's ready.

It looks from the demo videos like Infiniverse is getting some important stuff wrong.  :(  The ground-level sectors are not contiguous and they're not seamless.  If you see a mountain rising up at the eastern side of your sector, and you cross that black boundary, the next sector is just as likely to be perfectly flat on the west side.  I woulda hoped they would have played Noctis and known that is a bad idea.  :/
