Sometimes it’s easy for games to fall by the wayside, especially ones made by independent developers, many of whom are weekend warriors. MicRogue was one of those games that seemed to fall prey to this. However, the game by Jason Pickering, which has been in the works since 2013, is apparently nearing the finish line in its development. The developer did some work on the game Chaos Reborn for PC, but now he’s back to focusing on MicRogue – and the game is apparently done, with just meta-features left to add in before the game’s eventual release.
MicRogue is expected to be a fast-paced puzzle roguelike, where you have to ascend through an enemy-filled tower, trying to kill enemies by jumping on their square, while avoiding them doing the same to you. Pickering is also the developer behind Relic Rush ($0.99), which was a fun game released a couple years back. He’s participating in the forum thread for the game, and given people’s love of roguelikes, there’s some excitement for this one to finally see the light of day.
I don't know what's happening to me, but I do know I'm falling asleep just listening to the embedded podcast here at my desk. I'm not sure if it's soothing, or if my brain is shutting down in self-defense: I haven't understood a single sentence yet. (I think he might be a bit too far to the right on the Tom Waits Scale to be "soothing.") Regardless, it delivers!
P.S. It looks like Serial season one may get a conventional ending after all!
Cool. Sounds interesting. I usually to audible when going to sleep. Sometimes makes for weird dreams....
Zzzzzzzzzz
I really like listening to podcasts when I go to bed too. Problem is, I fall asleep about 10 minutes in... The TA show takes me 2 or 3 days to finish because of this. Anyway, I'll def check out the one you mentioned here. Also love Stuff You Should Know and Stuff to Blow Your Mind from How Stuff Works.
Welcome to Nightvale is a really weird one that I listened to for quite a while. Weird in a really good way.
I've been listening to this for a while now, this one and We Have Concerns are my favourite podcasts. I've stopped listening to We Have Concerns when I want to sleep though.
