Just wondering what is up with this game. Anybody working on any Mods for it. And where are all the people who bought it at. I know, us SEIV fan couldn't have scared everyone away.

I agree, things are kind of slow in here. I don't know about any new mods, but I hope there will be some in the works.

Cheers!

Yep pretty slow. I have been having fun with the game. I like the changes in the new patch. I also like the new tiles and graphics you have been doing David. The Icons look really nice now, IMHO.

I like the game, and I'm happy with my purchase. I can't put my finger on it but something seem to be missing. The game isn't as exciting to play as the all ASCII rogue-likes. Not sure why it is. Maybe because this game is alot more simple?

A few ideas I had:

- Rings have powers when equipped
- Auto change treasure into gold when picked up
- A bigger inventory again, it still seems small
- More items should stack
- User defined teleports to and from town - item?

I think he's talking about games like 'Rogue', 'Nethack', 'Larn', 'Moria' and 'Angband' I've played all these games and don't think they are 'Better' per say, just that they leave more to the imagination and therefore appeal to a wider audiance. I think Dungeon Odyssey has a lot more potential though.

Just my humble opinion! Cheers!

Yep! David is correct. I'm also talking about Angband and all the offspring of that. I guess better isn't the best word. It just seems like there is more strategy involved in playing those.

Don't get me wrong, I like Dungeon Odyssey and it DOES have alot going for it. I wish the forum was more active and we had more players but I have been having loads of fun with it and don't regret the purchase.

If I remember correctly, you did quite a few of the tile sets for those old ASCII games, right David? I fact I see a few of them in Dungeon Odyssey. It's amazing what you have been able to do in such a small pixel size and limited colors!
