Default Re: SEV Betatest...

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:

http://legion.gibbering.net/golem/images/screen06.jpg

(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)

Actually Deadzone, research has changed back to an SEIII system. You can assign percentages of your research points to any number of projects you want. It's not an all-points-in-one-project or divided-evenly-so-you-waste-points system like SEIV. If it's like SEIII, the research points will wrap-around in a way, so any excess points you spend getting a certain level will go towards the next level in that field of research.

All of it is inf levels if I am not mistaken. This research tree truly never ends.

Edit: But keep in mind the further you go the less you will get each level.
