Just had a quick go of an Efreet Fool of Zenithar. Wow. Shopping for absolute garbage items has never been so fun. I got my item level to about -60 or so, which gives you +3 spell levels across the board for your insanity bonus. The starting spells are great, bought regen on Colour Blast on first level, and then shopped for as much -item value that I could manage. Between that and charm it was great. A merry band of fools, crusaders and a support charming familiar running along, I think I got up to 8/3 summons eventually. That was by Old Passages 1, so the new class has some pretty insane early potential. I can imagine how it would go with a bigger budget with some "freak" Zenithar shopping.

Anyway, errrmmm, back to mod making and DCSS tournament running. Probably......... Bloody Wouter and his constant stream of new Triangle Wizard releases

New Fool class. Negative item levels are now good. Cursed items work as bonuses for Fools.

That's a rather unique idea.  And a good one, it allows for an interesting game variation.

A fair few releases have gone by since I chucked up an update of this thread. Triangle Wizard is now up to 15.07. So what have I missed?

A new class, the Fool. Negative item quality getting you down? Play a fool, turn that frown upside down. Now without bugs for quest items!

A new god? Maybe.

Lots of new monsters and quests.

Probably some other stuff.

Still the only real-time roguelike that uses all your finely honed WASD&mouse fps skills to conquer the game. Give it a go.


Patch R 15.07 Notes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Fixed a bug which occurred when looting an altar as a theist that could cause your character to gain some extreme bonuses.

-Added 12 new normal creatures and 7 new unique creatures.

-Added the Arcen's Sanguine Burst talent. To see the full visual you do need to switch gore on.

-Changed the Azathoth priest power to deal melee disintegration damage 50% of the time instead of requiring your health to be below a certain percentage for it to kick in.

Version 16.01 has just come out. If you haven't tried it out, give it a whirl. If you have, then it's time to update. It's free and it's fun. Cro-magnons, paragons and werewolves, oh my!
 

Hello wizarding triangles!

After much waiting I found a few days to do some work on Triangle Wizard, so here is another update! Many new races in this new version, along with a new class. We can all thank Pierpaolo Bonetti for his many suggestions! In addition there are quite some bug fixes, and some small upgrades here and there.

Patch R 16.01 Notes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Information about the location of the Trollmire and the Dark Days Ahead levels can now be correctly obtained via a Sanctified Shrine.
-Fixed some issues with the font in the inventory.
-Added the 'item_fix' console command to retrieve objects that are outside the level.
-Trolls now correctly deal high damage in melee.
-Added the Cro-Magnon and Salientian races.
-Added the Paragon class.
-Fixed a small problem with the initial spell keybinding of the Zombie Lord.
-Zombie Lord's Infection spell now correctly regenerates and starts at level two.
-Fixed a bug in the Necromancer transformation handler which could affect spell damage.
-Mechayon is now immune to the Infection spell.
-Oozemaster's Slimeform now lasts 30 seconds regardless of level, allowing for better timing.
-Added the Werewolf race.
-Increased the power of the Totemic Whisperer's familiar.

-Trolls now have slower casting speed instead of slowed spell regeneration.
-Some levels are no longer square.

-Items which 'on-cast' effects now correctly work when equipped on an ally.
-You can now ask allies to unequip and drop their item by pressing PageUp on top of them (the same key you use to give items with).
-Fixed a bug whereby equipping an ally with an item, killing them, resurrecting them and equipping them again etc. would lead to infinite stats.
-Fixed a typo in Captain Jack's Compass.
-Added five new unique creatures.
-Added a little something for Triangle Wizard day (the fifth anniversary).

Necro!

Ok, turns out my problems accessing the site was just a mobile browser problem. But whatever, this is still an update from the last post.

And here's a onedrive link for any having problems from the main site.
(from the dev himself, TW has a facebook page. Checks out virus free and works):

Version 17.01 is out. And has been for a year!


Seems to mostly be quality of life improvements and a bit of content. There's now the ability to carry as many items as you want, which helps some builds immensely.

[Coffeespoons]

I really like this game and had a lengthy correspondence with the author a couple of years ago.  It didn't seem to get the attention it deserved.  There's still plenty of scope for discussion as to the merits of various builds so I'd be delighted to hear from others as to their thoughts and strategy.

[getter77]

Still a great game with ample potential indeed....need to rustle the dev again here in the new year to see what might be yet and roughly when~

I still find myself coming back to an Efreeti Energist of Ragnaros. It's just so damn powerful early on, makes even wimpy quick spells good, only really needs flight for its utility kit, and comes with a decent lightsource.

There's much more powerful and versatile builds, but this really turns early game into easy-mode.

[martinuzz]

It got an upate last month. Bugfixes, and a new deity.

[Kagus]

Oh hey, I remember this from ages ago. Really neat game, awesome to see it's still getting updated and expanded upon.

[quinnr]

Well, that's a game I haven't heard of in quite a while! I'm surprised it's still getting updates, that's pretty awesome. I remember playing this like a decade ago!

[Coffeespoons]

Yeah I played alot of this and had extensive correspondence with Wouter, the author, who's a pretty cool guy.

[martinuzz]

I wonder, has anyone here actually beaten the game? Either without permadeath, or ascended?
It is so darn hard, or I am playing it wrong.

Most success I've had over the years is with Troll Berserkers / Healers / Dauros Monks, but I'm quite sure this game is actually supposed to be more of a spellcasting thing than a melee bumping thing.

Sure, the first dozen or so levels are easy enough, up to the arena. But after that, it gets so hard.

[sambojin]

Yes, they have. But it wasn't me. I always take stupid god quests that I really don't need.

The developer, Wouter, is a really cool guy. I'm even in the credits of TW he's so cool, for this horribly unupdated regularly post,  that the good folks of Bay12 have picked up the slack on

So thanks all.

Certainly haven't won any, but I would say ever since the weapon junk came in melee's more of a thing, you just still don't want to be bumping anything

Gonna' have to see if I can figure out how to shoot faster, sooner or later. Try for a proper archer build, see how (un)viable it is. 'Till then bardiches and whatnot are pretty darn great even if you're primarily spell casting. Just wish I could remember to figure out how to slave the swing weapon key to the main spellcast one so you don't have to hold two buttons at a time to swing and cast simultaneously...
