Nice @

Rumour has it Robin Walker has offered something similar for the Nethack dev team if they release a new version of NetHack.

Their response was 'You first.'

Dwarf Fortress in NY Times Magazine

I don't want to steal any thunder from Darren Grey's Roguelike Roundup for July, but there's been quite a bit of roguelike related news this month worth celebrating:

• Dwarf Fortress featured in NY Times Magazine
• Dungeons of Dredmor gets to #1 on Steam
• Match & Magic will be featured shortly on Bill Harris' Dubious Quality, a roguelike match 3 game written by the mysterious J.L. (Jeff Laflam)
  
• One of the developers of Super Meat Boy has made an announcement about his next project, a roguelike/shooter, The Binding of Isaac, which will also be released on Steam (Are roguelike shooters a new trend? Realm of the Mad God being the other example)
  
• The original developer of Egoboo is asking for funding via Kickstarter for his latest project, a Minecraft-like called Lords of Uberdark

I've had extremely limited Internet access (just enough for blogging and SVN commits) until the last few days, so I'm still 11 days behind on my usual RSS feeds. I'll update this post if I see anything else in the mean time.

(Ironically, the lack of access has helped me spend more time developing Unangband).

Please let me be the first to coin the term minecraftlikes.
