  • In This Day of 3D Graphics, What Lets a Game Like ADOM Not Only Survive
    Ross Hensley STS 145 Case Study 3-18-02 Ancient Domains of Mystery and Rougelike Games The epic quest begins in the city of Terinyo. A Quake 3 deathmatch might begin with a player materializing in a complex, graphically intense 3D environment, grabbing a few powerups and weapons, and fragging another player with a shotgun. Instantly blown up by a rocket launcher, he quickly respawns. Elapsed time: 30 seconds. By contrast, a player’s first foray into the ASCII-illustrated world of Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) would last a bit longer—but probably not by very much. After a complex process of character creation, the intrepid adventurer hesitantly ventures into a dark cave—only to walk into a fireball trap, killing her. But a perished ADOM character, represented by an “@” symbol, does not fare as well as one in Quake: Once killed, past saved games are erased. Instead, she joins what is no doubt a rapidly growing graveyard of failed characters. In a day when most games feature high-quality 3D graphics, intricate storylines, or both, how do games like ADOM not only survive but thrive, supporting a large and active community of fans? How can a game design seemingly premised on frustrating players through continual failure prove so successful—and so addictive? 2 The Development of the Roguelike Sub-Genre ADOM is a recent—and especially popular—example of a sub-genre of Role Playing Games (RPGs). Games of this sort are typically called “Roguelike,” after the founding game of the sub-genre, Rogue. Inspired by text adventure games like Adventure, two students at UC Santa Cruz, Michael Toy and Glenn Whichman, decided to create a graphical dungeon-delving adventure, using ASCII characters to illustrate the dungeon environments.

When the flavor has been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template. If you do not understand the idea behind this page please leave comments on this page's talk page before making any edits. Edit this Shadowcaster All stubs. Shadowcaster Class is strongest at night. Shadowcasters draw their power from the dark, using it against those that might try their evil Shadowcaster in the night. Shadowcaster might be a would-be Paladin who feels Shadowcaster to the night. Because shadowcasters do not follow social norms, they must take laws with a grain of salt. They work in the time where the public laws are most Shadowcaster to enforce, and in a way they become their own law. Shadowcasters are open-minded, and so they get along with most classes, though many may view their ways with suspicion. Abilities: Because Shadowcasters draw their magic from the night, they are often Shadowcaster in nature. Though they gain Shadowcaster power at night, their magic is weak during the day or in any area of bright light. Shadowcaster Any race that has a natural affinity for the night time or the dark would do well as a Shadowcaster, however any race can become a Shadowcaster. Starting Age Shadowcaster Complex. Weapon and Armour Proficiency: Proficiency with simple weapons, hand crossbow, rapier, shortbow, short sword light armour, but not with shields.

  • Wizinews 2-3 Issue
    Wonders of Wonders Department A spokesperson at Origin Systems says that the Apple version of Ultima IV will be released around August, 1985, with other computer versions to follow in the Fall. They said it would be sixteen times larger then Ultima III and yet would be priced about the same (@ $59.95 list). It is rumored that other software publishers are scratching their heads over how this pricing miracle is going to be accomplished. See “Misty Writings: Ultima IV and Wizardry IV” for more information. Holding your Breath Department Sir-Tech is well-known for their quality products, and the primary way they maintain quality is to ‘sell no wine before its time.’ Well, folks, the grapes must still be green up in Ogdensberg, NY! Wizardry IV for the Apple ][ and Wizardry I for the Macintosh were slated for release before Santa-time, 1984, but probably won’t be seen before the fall, 1985. And Wizardry II for MS-DOS will be even later. As for Wizardry IV, it is rumored that they had just gotten to Level 9 of 10 in mid-April, 1985, though we get persistent reports of it appearing, then disappearing from dealer’s shelves in various parts of the country. As for the Mac’s Wizardry I, it is our unfounded speculation that, though the Pascal program lines were easily parted over to the Mac, they are probably having to rewrite a lot of the program due to the unique nature of the machine. And the poor folks with IBM’s and its clones will have to wait for Sir-Tech’s Apple computers to cool off before they can get down to finishing the second scenario for MS-DOS.
