Underground we'll be completely free.

Caves of Qud is now available In Development DRM-free on GOG.com, 10% off until July 17, 1pm UTC.
Descend into a diverse ecosystem of unlimited freedom. Dig tunnels anywhere you like. Mutate, clone or amputate yourself. Mind control the world's fauna and live like them. Make allegiances with over 60 factions of indigenous creatures.
This is a complex, unforgiving roguelike simulation. Freedom is absolute, the lore is fascinating but danger follows your every step: these Caves are treacherous and death is permanent. Until you roll a new character, that is.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the FAQ to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

I feel like i'm missing something because i find ascii art off putting enough to not play, i usually don't care about graphics but ascii hmm is pushing it.

Still good to see games like this being released and if i was old enough to have played games like this early i would have jumped on the opportunity.

Thank you :D

I am not sure if Caves of Qud qualifies as ASCII though :P

A quick poke about suggests the free version is no longer available... while this is definitely my thing I didn't get along very well with the free version I played a few years back.

Anyone played both and can compare if it's come on enough to be worth investing in at some point?

I agree it does not really look like ASCII which i used for the lack of a better word atm but it's extremely simplistic style does work against it for me, I must say it would have been easier to swallow if it was entirely text based instead.

I love this game.
I find it utterly fascinating.
The initial learning curve is steep but then the game opens up and it is just... unique.

This is heavily text-based, but it does have actual art (crude though it may be) for representing things on the map. Like Judas said, not really an ASCII art/representation game.

Actually it looks a lot like the very early SSI and Epyx dungeon crawlers, or even Ultima 1 - although these all date from 1983 ;)

Hope this helps :)

Its graphics look like customized types. Just not ASCII characters, but based on (hand drawn pixel by pixel) type characters, yes.

EDIT: Not that it has to be good or bad per se. Better than ASCII, it is.

I've sunk almost 100 hours into this & I will sunk many many hours more into this.

Highly recommented.
