good job at destroying that nasty.

It's been some time i didn't played, i'm starting to feel the urge in shotgun my way again.
After i'm finished with my promising summoner on ToME4, time to get back into DoomRL

Use a phase device and pray to land near the exit

Due to the recent C&D problems, DoomRL is now open source on github!

ChaosForge

Doom, the Roguelike (or DRL as we may have to start calling it) is now open source! The plan was to release this upon conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign as a thank you to backers, but Zenimax® have pushed our hand.

 DoomRL can now be found on GitHub: https://github.com/ChaosForge/doomrl

 The code is in FreePascal, distributed under GPL 2.0. Derek Yu’s original artwork is released with the game under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.

 DRL is a passion project dating back to 2002, and I would like to take a moment to especially thank everyone who has played the game, the community who have supported me over the years, and everyone who has provided feedback and ideas. The game wouldn’t be what it is now without such a fantastic community, and I would not have the confidence to embark on the creation of Jupiter Hell without the faith so many have shown me. Thank you all!

 Finally, we're entering the the last week of the Kickstarter - 7 days left, 70% through. Let’s see this to the end!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2020043306/jupiter-hell-a-modern-turn-based-sci-fi-roguelike

So for all those that got taught pascal in school for some reason, or those just wanting to take a gander, you can check out the innards yourself.

Even just a chance to admire Derek Yu's awesome sprite work up-close is a wonderful thing.

At least it will always live on, regardless of the maxing of zeni by other companies.

Very interesting to see DoomRL going open source, that is certainly going to attract some devs to work on that already excellent game.
Though i wonder what more can be done, DoomRL is pretty packed with features and is really feeling complete, but in the same time such thing never stopped the DCSS devs to make new releases

More-so for added perpetuity due to C&Ds than new developments on it, I think. If Zenimax/Bethesda had any heart they'd anonymously flick 20k (or more) at JH as an "oops, sorry, our lawyers don't get this shit" sort of thing.

It'd be bloody hilarious if DoomRL got included as a "time waster" game to play in the next Bethesda Fallout release, especially now that it's open source. Find the PC with it on it, get back to fetch missions in ~40hrs+ playtime. They actually could do this.

I probably would.



(AFAIK Bethesda won't ever put "non open source" games into their own games. So, ipso facto, fuck yeah! Still a cunt act, but JH will be better regardless. When the lines are everywhere, read what you want into it)

[sambojin]

There is also the "Experience Point/Leveling System" in a Doom-like game, especially in reference to their effects on weapon abilities (yes, that is a genre still used in terminology of somewhat Doom like games, even today).

Or even weapon modding in "Doom-like" games.

Essentially it'd be a clusterfuck of a legal battle, but there's no doubt that the 2016 remake of Doom "borrowed/stole" excellent ideas from previous titles in the genre, even while they all expanded it well. Could that be considered IP, considering how well DoomRL did it, and because standard firing of a weapon and alt-firing of a weapon is of little difference in game mechanics?

In any case. Both Zenimax and Bethesda have lost face in my eyes, and honour as well.
