I prepared several videos in advance but only uploaded two so far -
I’ll put one up on Youtube each day till next Thursday when I go on a
trip to the Netherlands – then I’ll see where I go from there.

Jeff Lait is one of the longest standing figures in the roguelike development universe, for years he has been contributing useful ideas and information to r.g.r.d and developing his own game, POWDER, which has recently become pretty popular.

Check out the interview with the creator of the ever-popular POWDER handheld roguelike!

POWDER, 5 Years, 100 Versions

Slash — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 04:47:07 +0000

POWDER, the one roguelike game for handheld devices GBA and Nintendo DS by Jeff Lait, has reached its version number 100 on its 5th anniversary!

Wow! Five years and 100 releases!

For those expecting massive changes on the 100th release, I am sorry to disappoint you. Massive changes implies massive instability, so I have acted cautiously in preparation for this milestone.

This is the example of a project in constant evolution, gaining more and more followers recently. It is one of the most mature roguelikes out there, and it is *raw* playability. (And beware Kiwis, I am serious)

Congratulations to Jeff for achieving this important milestone, and I hope we still have POWDER for long :)

Now, if you haven’t given it a look. GO FOR IT
