The 2011 7DRL Challenge, March 5 to 13
The time has almost come! Gather all your strengths and build a roguelike, be it your first one or your next one.
A good roguelike is an expression of pure gameplay: as a developer you can turn your ideas into games for the people to enjoy, without the constraints of 3d modeling or expensive graphics creation.
Developing a roguelike also allows you to portrait a theme within the limitations of abstract or simple gfx output, but having imagination as a tool to recreate infinite environments and stories
Summon your indie gamedev friends, be they roguedevs or not for this, the annual roguelike development party!
