Everything REXPaint / Re: Show off your REXPAINT creations
« on: November 08, 2021, 02:41:35 PM »
For my first attempt at ascii art, I basically turned an image of Snake from Metal Gear into ASCII.

I was largely inspired by Dee's ascii art from the REXpaint gallery, so I tried to use pixel art for the basic shapes and use ascii for the details of the image.

General & Off-Topic / Re: Introduce Yourself!

Hi there, just found this topic on the forums, so I thought I might as well introduce myself, as I enjoy Cogmind very much!

It was just last year when I had my first roguelike experience, for I had previously almost only played multiplayer shooters like Rainbow Six Siege and Insurgency Sandstorm. But then, I found this great roguelike/lite game called Barony having a giveaway - it was almost exactly like a roguelike, a procedural generated grid based dungeon crawler, but it was in realtime, first person and co-op. Those elements made it much more accessible for a primarily FPS player like me! Barony was a wakeup call to the wonderful world of roguelikes: I had no idea that a game could be non-competitive, and yet be so intense and engaging.

It turns out, from the store description, that Barony was heavily inspired by NetHack, and so there I went to explore the roguelike genre. NetHack really took me in, having me pour over the complex game mechanics and how it works. It even got me to use the vi-keys instead of the numpad for movement!

I first came across Cogmind when I looked on Tone’s youtube channel, looking at his NetHack letsplays. From there, I went to trying out the Cogmind like game POLYBOT 7 first. It goes without saying that I found POLYBOT 7 to be engrossing, so much so that I had got to get Cogmind. So here I am now!

Here is a site where I have clips from some of the multiplayer games I play if you are into HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD PLAYZ  ::)
