The Annual Roguelike Release Party
Too many roguelikes can languish with half-fixed features. If we can, once a year, ensure our roguelikes are polished and updated, we can avoid this trap.
All active roguelike developers are encouraged to release an update to their roguelikes on September 19th.
A simultaneous release will :
- provide moral support as we struggle with resurrecting code we left
in an untenable state three months earlier
- encourage developers to release at least yearly through the wonders
of deadlines
- celebrate the size and vibrancy of our community
