- chongli 2y agoYes and still under active development [1]! We also just finished the 2024 November NetHack Tournament (TNNT) [2]! I played in the tournament for the first time this year. I had one near-win with a very challenging Monk (I was doing a bunch of conducts [3]) who unfortunately died to the infamous Wizard of Yendor (Rodney as we call him). I also had a winning run with a Wizard which unfortunately finished a few hours after the deadline at the end of the tournament, so sadly that one didn't count! Next year I hope to have a bit more time to play so that I can record a win in regulation time!

- ForOldHack 2y agoI wish they had earlier versions.
- rgreekguy 2y agoAngband should still be under development, too. A new one I was recommended the other day: UnEpic World. It's also on Steam and itch.io, started development in 1992! By Fins!
- card_zero 2y agoI guess you mean UnReal World (and Finns). I see Errka has recently released "Ancient Savo", which looks somewhat like a rewrite of URW: https://enormous-elk.itch.io/ancient-savo https://enormous-elk.itch.io/ancient-savo Here he is celebrating the release. https://www.enormouselk.com/sites/default/files/styles/w730/public/blog/20241102_celebrating_1.jpg https://www.enormouselk.com/sites/default/files/styles/w730/...
- rgreekguy 2y agoYes, sorry for messing up the name. I have no clue about the new game, I saw it in their page, but I only played a bit of UnReal World.
- debo_ 2y agoYou can play the entire family of angband games at https://angband.live https://angband.live And yes, mainline angband is still under active development. There are a couple of very popular variants too (frogcomposband and sil-q.)
- anthk 2y agoI play Slash'em daily.
- every 2y agoI do all of my NetHack gaming via ssh to Hardfought[1]. They offer the current vanilla and previous ones all the way back to 1.3d. However they specialize in variants. My favorite variant is xNetHack[2]... [1] https://www.hardfought.org/ https://www.hardfought.org/ [2] https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/XNetHack https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/XNetHack
