Scallywag (PC game, roguelikeish)

[Arralen]

If we start announcing 'corporate' games here, I could as well I think.


I just wanted to mention that a single player PC game has been released some time ago that may be of interest to *band players:

Scallywag - In the Lair of Medusa


I had nothing to do with it - other than being a beta-tester for Shrapnel Games ;-)

It does not have anything to do with Diablo or Sacred - but it is much more a 3D variant of angband than anything else I've seen.

Features:
- there are 'shrooms with various effects
- a lamp that is running out of oil
- an end boss that starts with "M"
- one random dungeon
- themed levels
- permadeath
- items (combinable)
- bosses (nasty)
- great modability (is that even a word?)

This is not a Big Corporate Title. I hope some other *band players out there may enjoy it.


Found irony? Keep it !

From discovering it on my own elsewhere a ways back, I have the intent to liven things up with this game as a grand exercise before chasing after making a game from scratch---likely doubling as a crossover/feature replication exercise with Torchlight as it is the only roughly comparable title with Scallywag hewing closer to the Roguelike sensibilities.

I look forward to one day sampling out the many, (graphical) maintained/updated/developed *bands as I can get around to them. I've got to be rather strategic time wise with Project Roguelike Renaissance form Roguetemple afterall.
