Perhaps more importantly for many of us, the new DLC, Forbidden Cults, is out.
Oooh wait, what’s this now?
New DLC for one of the finest roguelikes ever made, is what.
LOL well, that much I gathered, I mean - WHAT is this now? New classes? New campaign?
New classes and campaign with a Lovecraft theme:

Forbidden Cults = instabuy. I installed the add-on, rolled up a new character with a tentacle for a hand, and promptly got wiped out on the first floor. Time to head back for more.
TOME is an Adventure Construction Set too, isn’t it?
I’ve never looked into the T-engine side of it
Yes. The original campaign, and the orc campaign, are “modules” within it (large ones). There’s a ton of stuff on the Workshop page in steam. No small amount of it is additional content in some form or another.
Yeah Qud is currently $1 off, which is an all-time low! ;)
But as the man says, the price will go up when the game exits early access … which will probably be in 2019.

I was curious to check Cataclysm DDA again (best survival/sandbox ever) and my jaw dropped when I saw this:
It’s isometric! (plus a bunch of other little changes)
consider my jaw also dropped! time to jump back in!
QUD is great now with the variable start positions.
And that Cataclysm does look fab also.

I’ve been playing Unexplored on the Switch… the UI is s bit clunky and the game has some weird “dungeon generation” hitches, but overall, it really scratches the roguelike itch for me. I never played on desktop.
It’s s tough game!
I’d never heard of Cataclysm DDA before. It looks fascinating. I wonder how I missed that.
I downloaded it and it looks like it comes with a bunch of tilesets but they don’t appear to be isometric. Is the isometric set in the screenshot above one of the tilesets bundled with the game or do you have to download it somewhere and install it? Or is this a mod of some kind?
there are a couple isometric views in the game options, once is called chest_hole Iso, I can’t remember the other one
Ah, okay thanks. I will experiment with them.
if you want/need any help with Cataclysm DDA just look my name up on YouTube. I have tons of content there for the game including a Tutorial series play-through, a University series that goes into depth on some of the main game systems, and a Quick Tip series for shorter more specific help with topics. It’s a great game that suffers from pretty serious documentation and early frustration issues that these series are meant to help new players with.
