‘We’ above the ‘I.’ At a certain point, you’re willing to say, ‘Even though I’m angry, even though I’m hurt, this “We” is the cup that we both drink from, and we want to keep it filled. If I’m vengeful or spiteful, I’m not going to have anything to drink. So let’s keep nourishing this cup.’”

Reviewers did recognize it as a great game, and that it required a new classification — the light story, focus on combat, and randomness made it quite different from typical RPGs. If they recognized that these traits were taken directly from roguelikes, “action roguelike” would probably mean a game similar to Diablo nowadays; however, they did not, so the new genre was called “action RPG”.

Somewhere around 1998 one of my school friends has found an Angband variant called GSNband. He has shared it with our group of friends, and quite a lot of us loved it too! We also started creating our own roguelike. Reading about GSNband, I have found that it is classified as a “roguelike”, and learned about the existence of other roguelikes. By then, a new major roguelike has emerged, named ADOM. It looked interesting, but its “simple character graphics” initially put it off. Eventually, I tried, and it was definitely worth it! I played it like an RPG as first (by copying the save files), but eventually switched to the correct, permadeath way.

Mission Thunderbolt, developed in 1986 on mainframe computers, and released commercially for Windows and Mac in 1992. I have played it around 2010 and it was a really great roguelike, with quite good graphics for its time, great innovative ideas, and optional permadeath. It is sad how unknown this game is.

(1) they only knew the games existing at that time, and some features were given too much or not enough weight (just like the original 1993 definition which cared about being free, portable and character display). Soon after, new innovations were created, bringing lots of confusion.

Soon I have started participating a bit in the roguelike communities, for example here I have created a list of features which are typical to roguelikes, but are rare in other games. It was noticed that my list was slanted towards “hacklikes”; I am not a fan of Nethack itself, but a big fan of ADOM and Valhalla. People recognized that roguelikes are difficult to define. Some games started to appear which were a bit difficult to classify: Decker is a cyberpunk game that I did not consider a roguelike because it had completely different tactics.

Castle of the Winds, a shareware game published in 1993. It was quite popular. if somebody remembered they played some roguelike in the 90’s, the answer was usually Castle of the Winds.

So far, the roguelike discussions were mainly held in Usenet, in the rec.games.roguelike.newsgroups. Temple of the Roguelike has been established by Santiago Zapata around May 2007, and its web forums quickly gained popularity, while the newsgroups gradually declined. I did not like the Usenet newsgroups too much, and became more active in the Temple forums. I have been also active in the IVAN forums (Iter Vehemens ad Necem is a graphical and very fun hacklike), where I started my own development contributions, with IVAN3D.

Originally released in 2006, Dwarf Fortress has two modes: the adventure mode and the fortress mode. The adventure mode was a typical roguelike, while the fortress mode shared some features, such as high complexity, random generation and ASCII display. Dwarf Fortress (and a bit of ADOM) later became a big inspiration for Minecraft, one of the most popular games today, and itself an inspiration to many other games such as Terraria.

We use the datetime library to create a datetime object and specify its timezone by setting the tzinfo propety. However, we can end up creating complex timezone rules when using the datetime.tzinfo baseline.

The first 7DRL challenge has been held in 2005. Roguelikes at that time were often extremely complex games which took years to produce; the 7DRL challenge instead focused on games created in seven days. Many of these submission were very experimental in nature. 7DRL challenge is still active today, with hundreds of roguelikes (and similar games) created every year. In my impression, the 7DRL challenge really helped to extract the specific things which made a game a roguelike. While major roguelikes so far were extremely complex games, 7DRLs did show that you could have a simple game which still had this elusive roguelike feeling.

In 2009 the roguelike developers have decided to meet in person, in the first International Roguelike Development Conference. They have decided that they need to actually define what the conference was actually about, and thus the Berlin Interpretation was born. In my opinion, also shared by other prominent roguelike people, they mostly failed, for two reasons:

In 2002 DRL (“Doom the Roguelike”) was originally released. It was quite clear from the name what it was: it was a roguelike (character display, turn-based, randomly generated) where your primary weapons were guns, and you fought demons from Doom.

Later in 2009, Spelunky was released. Spelunky is a platformer which took the compatible elements from roguelikes: random generation, as well as some other minor references, such as the non-modal shops from hacklikes. Moreover, the original version was free. While Derek Yu did not call his game a roguelike, he made it clear that the game takes a lot of inspiration of roguelikes. In turn, Spelunky has inspired lots of other games. Unfortunately, most game journalists and players did not know what a “roguelike” was, and they started referring to games inspired by Spelunky as “roguelikes”. If I recall correctly, we had discussions at the time whether Spelunky should be counted as a roguelike or not; ultimately, it turned out that most people who have actually played the original roguelikes have felt that these games do not capture that elusive roguelike feeling, and called such games “roguelike-likes”, or later “roguelites”.

Another interesting departure from the traditional roguelike definition. Similar to Decker, it had essentially all the basic properties from roguelike definitions (like the Berlin Interpretation), but I did not consider it a roguelike because tactically it was completely different. Still more similar to traditional roguelikes than games such as Spelunky.
