Can't wait to see the results. The term "roguelike" should be taken with a grain of salt of course - many are more like "roguelite" or the other preferred monitor, "procedural death labyrinths."<p>Between Teleglitch, Nuclear Throne, Legend of Dungeon, Rogue Legacy, Risk of Rain, Tower of Guns, and a few others, the last year or so has been massively fun for roguelike fans as we've seen pieces of the genre applied to other genres, usually with pretty amazing results.
The first time I heard of this was after finding Powder, which was a cool free roguelike that worked on Nintendo DS handhelds that had ways to play homebrew (as well on other platforms). The author seems to like entering the challenge, as he has a crazy number of 7DL games on his page[1].<p>[1]: <a href="http://www.zincland.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.zincland.com/</a>
Although some people are trying to participate to both, I think the Cyberpunk Game Jam could have benefited from not running partially concurrently.<p>*<a href="http://itch.io/jam/cyberpunk-jam" rel="nofollow">http://itch.io/jam/cyberpunk-jam</a>
Yea, I've tried, but haven't been able to get anything about this to the front page. Wrote a blog post about it: <a href="http://jere.in/lets-make-a-game" rel="nofollow">http://jere.in/lets-make-a-game</a><p>I wanted to get the word out earlier, but it's not too late to start and still have a whole 7 days! I'm starting tomorrow morning.
Oh crap I totally lost track of when it started this year. Dang, I was planning to take the week of it off so I could go completely absurd with it. I wonder if I can do a crunch week at work and 7drl at the same time..
Has anyone heard of this one:<p><a href="http://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper.php</a><p>A roguelike using hyperbolic geometry. Looking at the screenshots it instantly reminded me of M.C. Escher lithographs.
