ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I wrote Chronicles and I agree it's not my best work. I'd have no objection to them being removed. "Cut until it bleeds" is a cornerstone of writing.

I didn't know there was an achievement for reading them. Certainly wasn't my idea.

Looks especially weird when the spam post is removed ;)

Some of you may have played DoomRL, a roguelike going back to 2002 and based on Doom. Well now there's a successor in development called Jupiter Hell, with 3D graphics and an original metal soundtrack, but still remaining a turn-based, traditional roguelike. It's on Kickstarter now, about half funde...

daed4 - Engage in constructive criticism / discussion or don't post. Pure negativity / insults add nothing to the ongoing thread and, importantly, aren't productive.

Related, uh, Grey - you tell us the amulet isn't just to torture us with a useless property. I'm not interested in asking what it does, exactly, but would you happen to know if it's something it can do now , or if it's going to do something in the future, i.e., updates or expansions? It would be a ...

It is not :P

Uh... yeah. Merry Christmas, everyone?

There may be trademarks in Tome. This would cover the use of certain names (for example Maj'Eyal). If the trademark were recognized, I wouldn't be able to make a game with the name Maj'Eyal in it. Trademark is what I meant when I referred to IP. The term Maj'Eyal, as well as some of its prominent c...

The GPL header in the files refers to the software, and GPL is explicitly a software license. It does not include the intellectual property and ideas, nor the story elements presented. If Disney make a GPL licensed game starring Mickey Mouse that doesn't make Mickey open source. GPL would be impract...

mikekchar: GPL and intellectual property are entirely different things. You can still own the IP of something that is open source. Coding licenses have nothing to do with this. IvenGray: If it's a free game then having references to ToME shouldn't be a problem. DarkGod used to use Middle-Earth in th...

But still active. Many steamy things at work in the background :)

As if we truly understand how anything in our lives work :P Come the apocalypse most of us will have little value beyond being meat for the true survivors.

Children get exposed to computers and games at a much younger age these days. That's my excuse anyway ;)
