I still playing, watching for every addon and dreaming about Android version of TOME
I see that this game is celebrating nine years of existence, but I'm one of the newer players. I've only had this game for less than half a year. I've only got 87 measly hours. I'm only on my 6th character in the main mode. I've only beaten the full arena once on normal difficulty. When I see this, I ask myself what I'm going to do next. The answer is easy: I'm going to play my 6th character, a Dwarven Barbarian, cliche I know but I love him, until he either dies for good or finally nets me a win in this game. I look at this game's milestone, and I only hope that I still enjoy it when I have ten times as many hours on it just as much as I do now. It's a great game that I wasn't expecting to be so great. Cheers to nine years of life ToME. May your character deaths be fair, and may your victories be celebrated.
I, an old man with ailments of age, still remember when I tried first versions of the aberration of an roguelike like TOME4, when it first came out.
A few dungeons, and the impossibility of killing even the easiest of (nowadays) bosses in a T1 area :)
Man it was hard. A few subsequent updates later, still rather raw, and oh so hard.
Still, for some reason, I came back every now and then. Died a lot, and still came back.
Now, after quite a few wins, and quite a few more deaths later... been quite simply the most time consuming game I've ever played. The replayability with difficulties, classes, and weird addons gives always a fresh and unique flavor to the game.
Got to hand it to you Darkgod, even if the tears of players revitalises your coding skills and general well being, the fact, that I've not touched (maybe slightly tickled once or twice) another roguelike after TOME4, is a testament of your legacy on the annals of gaming.
(oh and the ailments of age, 40+ of age, just lazy probably, that's why I'm hurting sometimes I suppose)
Keep on going, you have quite a loyal fanbase to keep you company!
p.s. Fanbase: do donate. Even if Darkgod doesn't need mortal sustenance, I'm sure his family appreciates it ;)
tome4 is the best game
Thank you darkgod, for this sweet game.
I also finally bought the Forbidden Cults too.
Keep on keeping on man.
You are real inspiration!
This is my favourite roguelike by far, and the world you have created is fantastic. I'm glad you're still enjoying creating new content for it :D
100/10 I eagerly await the future of Eyal!
Thank you for making this wonderful game, I can't believe I have hundreds of hours logged into it :)
I've played and loved roguelikes for a long time, starting with the likes of Moria on Amiga way back in the day. *angbands used to boe my favorites, so when I first tried ToME2 I was instantly in love. ToME4 took a bit more time to get into, at first I strongly disliked the move away from Tolkien, but along the way my heart changed and have for a long time now thought that the decision was absolutely correct, and what we have now is by far the best roguelike, ever.
Thanks for the what must be thousands of hours wast^Z well spent playing your games! <3
This game is an amazing piece of work with a lot of contributors and a lovely community. As a faithful minion who has sunk whole weeks of time into this game, I don't think I can even begin to explain how awesome I feel it is. And it all started such mundanely! Heh. All praise DarkGod! :3
Didnt know that one of my favourite games has the same "birthday" as me. Super interesting to see the early WiP, and the way it came along. Im exited how ToME will end up in 5 years from now. Keep the good work up, Lord Dark God
I'm new to this game myself, maybe about 2 months or so. And it is such an enticing game. What a story background for a game. So glad I found this game, and thank you for posting the tid-bits of history - it only makes TOME that much more attractive.

While I knew much of the history it is awesome to get insights into the thinking behind the history. Thanks for sharing and happy 9th Anniversary.
Thanks for sharing this. It's hard to believe that it's been this long. This is definitely your labor of love.
Gratz!
was there for angband, was there for pernangband, was there for tome 2.x, 3.x, 4x. and now TOME. Met (online) lord bucket, was raised on dimwitt.
All this stuff is a bunch of 0 and 1's, but i feel in a way proud due to this journey.
All hail DG.
Happy Birthday to my favorite game of all time. Thanks for all the effort.
Happy BIrthday!
Happy BIrthday!
It was about a year ago a friend asked me what game I'd choose if I got locked on a desert island and only had an opportunity to choose just one. Without hesitation, I picked TOME. Must have only been at 800 hrs at that point with still so much to accomplish.
Now at 1269 hours, no regrets. Only dreams. Just waiting for my island!
Thank you for the good game, darkgod.
Thanks for writing that up, it was very interesting and fun to read. I know that i will continue to support this project as you continue to develop for it
Roguelike di sempre. Se mai se ne volesse fare la versione nella lingua di Dante, molto volentieri. Auguri TOME e bravo DarkGod
