It has only been a couple of days since I found out about this game, I saw a series of videos on Youtube. After my interest in roguelike-games had been awoken by "Dwarf Fortress" a few months ago, I started exploring the genre in depth. I played a good amount of them or at least got first impressions otherwise, but "Tales of Maj'Eyal" undoubtedly is one of the best I have seen so far. The only thing it is lacking for me is the randomness of the world, it becomes difficult to play through the same parts of the game over and over. But since I started out with "Dwarf Fortress" I am probably spoiled in that regard.
Overall this game does deserve to be mentioned when talking about the best of the best. But judging from my own experience, I can not be sure if the outcome of this contest has been influenced by the sheer number of players who even know a particular game. Roguelikes aren't games of the masses, so statistics can and will be deceptive.
I am getting off-road here. Just wanted to say that ToME is an awesome game, that it deserves it's place in this contest, that it is an incredible gift to be able to play it for free, that I do not care about minor things you are rewarded with by monetarily supporting this project, that I do feel bad I have not yet donated myself for all the fun I have gotten out of this game and that the terrible Internet exposes more and more people who need their noses broken by me.
Thanks for the work and effort put into this. And congratulations on being the best roguelike of 2011!
PS: I know I am late. But should I really care?
Whenever I try to use this and/or Darkwood UI it switches to the offline-profile "due to bad addon-version" -- or something along those lines. At first I thought some files were corrupted on my end, but after redownloading and double-checking everything the problem was still there, which kinda sucks because it looks like you put a lot of effort into this, and by that I mean it makes ToME look AWESOME!
Anyway, assuming this isn't just some problem on my end (and indeed, some posters in the thread seem to confirm that this isn't the case):
Please fix this.
Sincerely,
Your newest fanboi

There was a blogpost with some level of profanity, but I don't see it at a quick glance. It may have been deleted.
Can anyone point me to serious profanity on this site? Because I never saw any and thus see this blog post as pretty pointless.
I can see the request, first off because I also find excessive swearing annoying after a while, and also because what if a kid happens to read a blog?
There's always a better way to word something than the swearing, think of it as a challenge if you want, a way of expanding your vocabulary beyond the potentially offensive.
If nothing else, at least keep it to what you'd hear in a PG movie rather than an R would be a great first step.
yeaaaah
Why? What do you have against profanity? It gives languages flavour and colour.
Is there some general order you follow for doing your Berserker build? I can see some of your finished builds but that doesn't tell me everything. What are your priorities?
So far I'm playing Berserkers and Bulwarks but I'm definitely getting stuck in the low 20s/end of tier 2 range.
I like this a lot.
edit: wrong thread :)
"i think the active talents would be better on the left side default, there are the other infos of the character too"
Agreed.
But greate release. ;)
The only complaint I have so far is that the inventory screen doesn't fully scale with my screen. It probably has to do with me being on a netbook with a 1024 x 600 resolution, but there it is.
Tough not knowing how much encumbrance I'm under!
Also the new UI is amazing if a bit big again on my netbook, but I'm used to weirdnesses so it's a very little niggle
some feedback:
- there's no info about the level of the arena
- in the arena the sun paladin has no image, it is an @ (or is it a joke? :)
- it looks like when an enemy unit has "burn(1)" it will get no more damage, so this is kinda misleading
- the number of the shields are kinda ugly, hard to read (maybe there is an other number under them?)
- is it intended a skeleton can be healed by the heal spell of the archmage?
- i'd like to see the damage of the wands in the description
- i think the active talents would be better on the left side default, there are the other infos of the character too
WOW, great release!
(the talents levelup screen memory leak is still there and kinda annoying.)
I think general ASCII is defined in source code, I dont know how to change it without disable online profile.
Excellent news! Can't wait to try this after work today :-)
You can try this http://tomenotes.wikispaces.com/file/detail/te4.rar
I just had a crash and I remember using the 64-bit version of b37 was much more stable then the 32-bit one was. Are you going to release one?
Any plans to improve on the games general ASCII? I've seen a lot of requests for more of a Brogue style ASCII and I'm sure a lot of players would use it (I'd post links various places too if anyone took on that project).
Oh, thanks! :)
Once you've clicked edit, click on the bubble thingy

And just drop it where you are situated. It will then bring up a little dialog where you can type your name and additional info if you want.
So how do I actually add myself? Clicking "edit" just lets me fiddle with the title and stuff...
write more! ^^
Hello sorry to trouble you but any idea how I can change the games resolution outside of the game? I'm guessing there is a file with the options in it but no idea which one.
I'm on bate 36 and would like to finish playing my mage before moving to 37 if I can.
Also wasn't sure on best way to contact someone :) so thank you for your time.
Kind regards Ram.
[edit] Solved by the almighty darkgod I am not worthy :)
Nice post!
