I’ve been playing roguelikes since the mid 1980s, and from that perspective it’s hard to overstate Josh Ge’s contribution to the genre. Cogmind is just incredible — an absolute masterpiece that he is continually evolving. And Josh has likely written more for and about the genre than anyone else in history. This is a guy who’s put over ten thousand hours into his seminal game, and to the genre overall. I feel like Josh — along with Tarn and Zach Adams (Dwarf Fortress) — have by sheer force of will translated roguelikes into the current era. (And yes, FTL and Spelunky are awesome as well — just farther afield.) Respect.
