[Slash]

Thank you for compiling the list!

Emperor Engine and Pyromancer, don't fit the timeframe of the challenge though

There are also two new projects!

SpiritsRL @ http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/f4677ad876537deb#

DukeRL @ http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/3471ed69396779d6#

40 entries is a lot more than I expected, lets see how many can finish!

[ido]

This biggest turn out yet, if I'm not mistaken

[stu]

do those released a bit before the official start date count?

[Darren Grey]

I've updated the post to include the two new entrants, and to separate the "out of challenge" 7DRLs into a separate section (and including stu's Tomb of Rawdin).

[Anvilfolk]

Whoa, that is totally amazing! So many people doing roguelikes! And I spot some pretty awesome ideas too!

Damn my busyness! Yes, 'tis typed correctly! 'Lo, the deadlines looming in the horizon! 'Lo, the responsibilities circling high above, as vultures! Where art thou, my sweet, sweet time. My free time! My life!

*weep*

[deej]

Also "Excitable Digger" by Eben Howard (deej).  Named in IRC only, not home yet

[Darren Grey]

Woohoo, 42 is a great number    And we've already had our first victory, idontexist's "The True God".  Get the windows exec here:

[idontexist]

Am I really first? I feel special and am very satisfied with my game.

[Slash]

I have always thought the idea is to use up all seven days

[idontexist]

I wasn't sure that i would have all 7 days available so I made it fast as i could. I think it's pretty damn good for 4 days work.
