Yes, I know what a roguelike is. But there’s usually a “save” command and a “load” command.

Oh. Then how about one of those wall monsters from Japanese Mythology? You can’t kill it, and it won’t attack you, but it follows you and blocks your path.

This isn’t roleplaying, you stupid epeen whoring idiot troll-rere.

You know what ascii art is? It’s like a text-based game, except instead of text there’s ascii art representing a dungeon. Each letter is a different monster, like D could be a dragon. A period usally means “nothing”, and | and _ are used as walls.

Thanks,

Uhm.. How about like a thing which you pick up and if you almost die it explodes and destroyes everything around you exept you?

You should be able to catch pixies, ground them up with a mortar and pestle and snort them for a stat boost.

But then you crash. Oh god, then you crash hard. Log in to see images!

Oh god I’m SO getting in on this. Don’t have much just yet, but I dug out a few ideas so far.

As far as ‘cursed’ weapons go, maybe you could have melee weapons be made of rubber or turn out to be one of those soft squeaky toys, and ranged weapons will extend a flag showing a noise appropriate to its weapon type (ie. BANG, RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT, BOOM, TWANG, etc). You can’t change what’s in the hand(s) the weapon is equipped until you get a certain item, as you failed to notice the superglue coating the dodgy weapon when you grabbed it.

Make a superboss that’s adorable and harmless-seeming but can destroy you 5 times over before you can say ‘something doesn’t seem quite right here’, ala Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3. Call it a ‘cute widdle fluffy-wuffy’ or something Log in to see images!

speaking of drugs, i would ****ing LOVE to find a creative and awesome way to implement hallucinogenic mushrooms and such. Nethack’s version of hallucinating is way too boring and unrealistic. I want to see the ****ing dungeon walls BREATHE man!!

Maybe make it so every step you take, everything within sight changes to a random colour and possibly shifts position a little (though the ‘moving’ walls/items/monsters will actually be in the same place, so you can’t run into the hallucinations), and instead of ‘you see a (monster/item/thing)’, have randomly strung together sentences that make little sense, sort of like one of those weirdbum spam messages or something.

Make there women that you can have sex with, knock up, and then you can use the children like pets from knock up. And you get a health/strength boost from the sex.

Try making a cursed item that destroys your Backpack-of-infinite-holding, causing all your items to be destroyed and making it impossible to pick anything up.
