We have been informed, in fact, by a reliable source, that we did break a record in kickstart. The fastest roguelike to get funded

Sweet

That is very cool, and well done indeed!

Now call it an RPG, and try to get some funding out of those scared off by the roguelike tag!

Honestly I DESPERATELY hope we get to 7.5k... ASCII gets to you after a while.

Did you watch any of the trailers? This isn't ASCII...

But it will be if we don't get to 7.5k

It IS all text based though

I don't think so. I think what we get at 7.5k is a new tileset, instead of the one we have now.

Yah, the current is just core engine stuff - no tileset here, this is an extended ASCII + truecolor setup from what I understand.

Ah. Well, its really damn beautiful ASCII then.

[Lord Dullard]

I don't know if you could technically call it ASCII, since it does use non-ASCII characters (in addition to ASCII characters). Probably not.

It is all text, though, since one of libTCOD's limitations (barring the use of being able to draw on the SDL surface, which is something I'm currently working on figuring out) is that it uses all monochromatic text characters.

Does this mean that it would be possible to load a custom-built world placed down with ASCII characters in a file?

[Aklyon]

Bit surprised I missed this thread, I'd been quietly watching the original Cult thread. Cool to know though.

[Lord Dullard]

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean, Scelly - are you asking if you can just switch out the current tileset for a pure-ASCII one?

If so, the answer is no. There are additional characters in there that would need to be replicated that aren't in standard ASCII sets.

Actually I was asking something else entirely, but I just realized that would be incredibly stupid. Nevermind.

i hope you don't drop support for text graphics if you implement a tileset

[freeformschooler]

I actually hope the funds are raised for a proper tileset. Normally I like ASCII graphics, but this seems like exactly the kind of roguelike that would benefit from one. I mean, you've already got spectacular in-game art, at least for terrain
