Serkib and Fenrir's Den
« on: November 14, 2009, 11:20:22 pm »

Fenrir glances about a bit nervously.

Well, hello, old friends and new faces alike. I've been living at http://www.roguetemple.com and working on a now abandoned roguelike project. Sorry fishersalwaysdie, it looks like I still suck.

I've gotten to work on Serkib again. Serkib was an old project of mine designed to generate random words and translation raws (language_DWARF.txt, etc.) The new one doesn't generate new raws yet, but it does generate lists of random words using Markov Chains (I think, not quite sure my implementation is a Markov Chain). Those of you that used Serkib in the past will remember that the interface used the command line, but my latest development attempt uses GTK.

I've established my own little corner of the Internet, where I mean to post updates about Serkib, roleplaying threads, and whatever else I care to do. You can visit my forum and download an alpha release of Serkib here.

So, yeah, sorry about disappearing again. I hate to sound all mysterious, but some stuff happened that I don't care to share. Everything is just fine now, though. At least I didn't make a thread about it this time.

I hope this is the right forum for this. Back in my day, we didn't have all these fancy subforums. All we had was Various Nonsense, and we liked it! You kids these days don't...

Never quite understood what the deal with people having that point of view is.

 Well, if you intend to actively work on the project here than Other Games might do well. If this is just a general chat about that and other things this might be the best place.

 But nice seeing you again.
 And yes, the suck is nothing most of us associate with you. You are just beating yourself up.

Creative Projects would also work well.  And you know we're willing to give anybody a chance.

Toady, not so much.  You might be surprised to find out that fishersalwaysdie was banned in your absence.

FENRIR!!!!

It's good to see you back. I'd share stories of my failed campaign to get you elected Baron, but we try not to talk about VN anymore.

Hey... I remember you. I hardly knew you before you left. Good to see you back. Well, hey, get comfortable. A lot has changed but a lot has stayed the same!

Remember, the darkling theme is awesome. :D

Heya Fenrir.

I barely chatted with you, and missed out on your leaving threads despite being around then, but since then, I've hoped you'd come back.

Fenrir!  Damn dude, you just don't give up, do you?  Man, this place must really have its hooks in you. Heh heh.

Well, I've said it before, and it's likely I'll say it again at some point...  Good to have you back.


Whatever happened to that Runelike you were working on?  That was looking pretty cool. 

By the way, the current package of Serkib hosted at your place appears to not be independent.  Might want to point out what all else needs to be downloaded/run in order to work it.

Here's hoping you stick around for a while.  I won't go so far as to say you'll add a touch of class to the place, but you'll certainly add...  'something'.


EDIT:  Oh, here's something...  Ever done a Let's Play?  I was just making a comment about how nobody has made the connection between Dwarf Fortress and Diggles yet.

All I know is I got a horrible mental image when I was told Okenido apparently pulled a Fenrir.

Welcome back anyway.
