No credit for the art direction and inspiration? Brogue?
Or did I miss the attribution?
* Edit: I’m not looking for the downvotes or to stir things up. I’m simply calling out that this is a small niche community we notice these things, we’re very free with our code, and copy is a compliment, but so is attribution.
The author wasn’t so much inspired the by Brogue style, but copied it directly down to the animations and ASCII.
- somewhatgoated 5mo agoCalling it rogue-like is basically attribution since Brogue is just the follow-up to Rogue which invented the genre
- sandoze 5mo agoI’ll be sure to keep that in mind with my next plumber platformer
- somewhatgoated 5mo agoNo one calls them plumber platformer though… If you call it “Mario-like” then I would say most people would understand where the inspiration comes from.
- fsckboy 5mo agomost people would name hack (1984) or the fork nethack (1987) as the successor to rogue (1980). brogue (2018) i never heard of till now but probably i aged out by then (aged out of spending many mindless i.e. repetitive hours of fun)
- Widdershin 5mo agoBrogue was released in 2009 for what it’s worth.
- fsckboy 5mo agothanks, since i had never heard of it i had to look it up but I guess I misread it, wikipedia says the project was started in 2009, latest version in 2018. I noticed the difference in word between "project started" and "released", i'm growing numb-er, and jumped to a terribly erroneous conclusion. I have been killed by a rattlesnake.
- bayarearefugee 5mo ago> No credit for the art direction and inspiration? Brogue? In the age of LLMs the "author" might not even know where the art direction and inspiration came from!
- marcingas 5mo agoI know, this is intentional :) I took things I like from Brogue and added my own spin on it.
- BeetleB 5mo agoWouldn't the credit go to ... rogue?
- sandoze 5mo agoThe genre of course. But this is almost a 1-1 copy of the Brogue style. Right down to the colors, animation, and ASCII
- devindotcom 5mo agoare you not familiar with the actual game rogue, or nethack?
- sandoze 5mo agoYes. I don’t think we’re having the same argument though.
- abathologist 5mo agoRogue looks like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Rogue_Screenshot.png?utm_source=commons.wikimedia.org&utm_campaign=index&utm_content=original https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Rogue_Sc...

- coldcity_again 5mo agoare you familiar with the actual game Brogue[1]? 1: https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/ https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/
- deathanatos 5mo agoWhile I can see perhaps a claim of "inspiration", when I put Brogue & this side-by-side, while artistically there is similarity, I wouldn't say "copied". Brouge isn't the only rouge-like with LoS mechanics.
- marcingas 5mo agoBrogue is insanely well balanced and ingeniously designed. XsofY is a mere tribute ;)
- protocolture 5mo agoSounds like its close to red.
- marcingas 5mo agoyeah, this is a Brogue-like. I love Brogue and have been inspired by it. XsofY is not an exact clone but I've studied Brogue C source heavily when making this. I'll link to Brogue in the README :)
- sandoze 5mo agoAmazing and great work!

- SubiculumCode 5mo agoI'm a little confused. There were some differences, but this stuff is straight out angband/moria lineage stuff. https://angband.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version.html#previous-versions-outdated https://angband.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version.html#previo...
- jdiff 5mo agothe lighting effects are very brogue and like nothing I've seen in angband, which is very very barebones ASCII by comparison. brogue-likes push into ANSI art territory with their abuse of terminal formatting.
- SubiculumCode 5mo agoSome of the many variants did expand on the ASCII graphics a bit, but yeah, I see what you mean.
