Im all over the new ASCII interface, "SE5: Roguelike" is going to kick some serious @.
But will we be able to put an openGL skin on it, like this:

(there used to be a cool skin for nethack that rendered all the ASCII characters in Open GL, so you had 3D ASCII characters and not hand-drawn replacement art a-la Falcon's Eye.. but the project page seems to be gone. The above link was the next best thing i could find)
