Hello,
at the moment i'm totally addicted to a game i found on the TigSource dev forums. It's more or less turn-based, like a roguelike. Each turn the WHOLE map get's recalculated.

20. The new enemy - the black dragon. Very strong, with the masked areas. Almost can not see from afar.
21. New ore - Misri and adamantium. And new recipes with them.
22. Many minor changes and the balance of things.
A screen from my game, right before i died.
The game looks easy at the start, but becomes challenging in the lower depths. It may look like a mining/crafting game, but it's not. Resources like copper ore are rare and can mainly be found in the lower layers, like the limestone layer. You can find gold ore or coal in the upper layers. You need pickaxes to mine trough most layer materials.
It took me some time to craft just a tiny copper sword and a copper pickaxe.
There are monsters like lizards, imps, water ooze (really strange water creature). There are also Dwarves, which i never found and a lot off other stuff. Due to the instable caves it's really challenging not to die.
There also earthquakes, volcanos, etc.
The goal is to find some (steal?) stuff in the deeps to build a teleport device and teleport to the next level.
I hope someone will try it and share his experience here.
MfG
