On a side note, I really liked their website. The ASCII animations are interesting -- wish there was a video game that had those.

- ranger207 3y agoCogmind (https://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/ https://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/) has those sorts of animations
- jefurii 3y agoThe developer also released the ASCII art editor he used to make all those nifty designs: https://www.gridsagegames.com/rexpaint/ https://www.gridsagegames.com/rexpaint/
- LoganDark 3y agoWoah , definitely going on my wishlist
- mlindner 3y agoI've been interested in Cogmind for a while, unfortunately it only works on Windows (which seems an odd choice for a text-based game) so I have no ability to play it.
- rileyphone 3y agoIt appears to work under Proton in Linux. https://www.protondb.com/app/722730 https://www.protondb.com/app/722730
- benjaminleonard 3y agoThey are very fun to make as well! I've built my own mini-lib on top of this ASCII rendering library (https://github.com/ertdfgcvb/play.core https://github.com/ertdfgcvb/play.core). I design them in Monodraw, pass it through a janky converter I wrote that converts text into a json grid of characters. I then render a number of layers that get combined, which is a mix of the static art layer, and others generated from functions that spit out a similar cell based frame.

And for what it's worth there's this ASCII game: https://twitter.com/StoneStoryRPG https://twitter.com/StoneStoryRPG
