Looking forward to this! Maybe I'll even preorder...

Oh cool, thanks for that. It was definitely a cool game and I loved playing it. The economy and the different factions was kinda unique to me back then. I'll look into it. :>

I loved the first one. I didn't think I would, but after watching TotalBiscuit's video on Train Valley I bought it and never regretted it. It is such a fun game. Amazing how much I liked it despite thinking that I'll find it boring.

Unfortunately I haven't had time to check out Train Valley 2 since it hit Early Access but I'm looking forward to it.

Quoting: Kels

Quoting: starfarerFor me the de facto standard for a roguelike is Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. Does anyone know how Brogue compares to DCSS?

The controls are a heck of a lot easier to remember, and the level maps are smaller. As mentioned in the article there's no levelling or skill progression, so it's more complex in DCSS while there's more focus on using items in Brogue. A lot of the mechanics are the same though, with the usual permadeath, walking into something to attack, and so forth.

Thanks.

Do you know how many levels there are and about the replay value? What I love about DCSS is how many different characters and classes there are. There is a ton of replay value. Of course they have had a lot of time to develop and fine-tune this game. To be honest, I only got away with the orb one single time so far, as a Gargoyle Fighter of Okawaru, after playing hundreds and hundreds of games for the past... ten years? After I finally escaped for the first time last year I felt great. I still have to morgue file etc.

I'm always interested in new roguelikes but this is what I measure them against. :) Since Brogue is free I should probably just give it a try, though.

Hmm. Like others previously said: I only want a new, more modern OpenTTD with some new features, like underground/subway systems, more realistic proportions of towns and trains/vehicles and traffic. Among other things.

Then again, when I write it down like this I guess this isn't actually something that is easy to do. And the market for such a game is probably not that big so no one has attempted to make such a game.

I'll have a look at Voxel Tycoon but I am not holding my breath.

So it's just Train Stations? Hmm okay, I will take a look.

Though the only thing that I want at this point is an expanded version of OpenTTD with a different engine that allows for more fluid track building, an actual underground system and people and cars (though it doesn't have to be as in-depth as Cities: Skylines). Though OpenTTD made a lot of headway compared to the original Transport Tycoon.

Quoting: starfarerWait, what? There is a Bud Spencer game and I don't know about that? Oh man I LOVE their movies. I'll need to take close look at that once I have the time.

Glad there are more people with good taste in movies :)
In current state, I wouldn't recommend buying this game (as I mentioned in the article).
But it's really good, I guarantee ;)

Yeah, thanks for the article and the heads-up. This totally flew under the radar for me because I was busy with other stuff.

It works wonderfully on my T530 with its integrated video card. I foresee having a lot of fun with this during the weekend. ;)

Man, just hearing the music brought back so many memories.

Oh bummer. When I read "new update" I thought to myself "Another new update? Even after the "all saints update"? Oh well, cannot be helped. :)

This game is awesome. I just wish more people would buy this game and play this. This developer needs to be supported. Every time I play this I know that this experience would not have been the same if they had used a proprietary engine. Fortunately they made their own and this made the game so much better.
