General & Off-Topic / Re: Introduce Yourself!
« on: August 06, 2016, 11:44:09 AM »
It's been a while since I worked on my own roguelike-project. I started with the python+libtcod tutorial but didn't get very far until I stopped. I felt I wasn't learning anything from just copying the tutorial, so I decided to do some exercises at Codeacademy. (Still haven't finished the course...) After that I started over and the code began to make much more sense. I even added my own features and whenever I ran into a problem, people at #rgrd were really helpful.

Hello! I've been randomly browsing the Cogmind devblog for about a year now, and yesterday I decided that I couldn't wait any longer, so I went and bought the alpha access. I only had time for a quick test last night, but I'm really looking forward to playing more. As it is expected with roguelikes, my first run didn't last very long.
Oh, I'm from Finland so please excuse any grammar mistakes.
- How did you learn about Cogmind?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I first read about Cogmind on /r/roguelikedev. Might have been from FAQ Friday. What really caught my attention was the alpha release trailer. The aesthetics made a huge impression on me.
- What other roguelikes do you enjoy?
First roguelike I ever played was Nethack, so it still holds a special place in my heart. Back in junior high, the art classroom had this old computer, and one day I decided to check it out. On the desktop I noticed a shortcut to a program called "Nethack". I thought it referred to hacking, as in computer hacking, (I remember someone telling a similar story on Roguelike Radio.) so obviously I launched it. It wasn't what I expected, but still highly intriguing. I really didn't know what I was doing and a moment later, this older student came, called me a noob and shooed me away...
Other projects I've been following for quite a while now are Dwarf Fortress and Ultima Ratio Regum. Those guys really take the procedural generation to the next level. Mind-blowing stuff.
These days I too find myself reading about roguelikes more than actually playing them. My other favourite roguelikes are ADOM, C:DDA, CoQ, DoomRL, DCSS, KeeperRL and URW. I have never finished any of them.
- What are your other favorite games?
Honestly, too many to list here. I've played video games of all genres my whole life, but in the recent years I've started to prefer RPGs and management/strategy-games.
- What do you do for fun when you're not playing games?
My other interests besides video games are art and music. When I have the time and energy, I try to learn coding in python, my dream being able to make my own roguelike one day.
