== Description ==<br />
<br />
Katabatia is a classic style roguelike for [[Commodore 64]]. Decend 20 floors to recover the [[Amulet of Yendor]] and return with it.<br />
<br />
== Features==<br />
<br />
* Three classes, with four gods to worship. Sacrifice gold to improve a deity-specific stat.<br />
* Three endings.<br />
* Full joystick control, using menus for inventory interaction, etc.<br />
* Spells, Potions, and special weapons and armor. <br />
* Pour potions over equipment to change their magical abilities.<br />
* Switch between animated, graphical tiles, or static text-mode graphics.<br />
* SID soundtrack or sound effects.<br />
<br />
== Notes==<br />
<br />
Originally designed for a single-button joystick, control is limited to 4 directions. With only one button to work with, you must hold the button to enter the menu. A button tap causes a turn to pass. Version 1.1 added keyboard commands. The game does not delete saves on death, but it does count how many times a game has been loaded, so it will know when someone has beaten the game in one sitting. <br />

<div>The Commodore 64 is an old 8-bit system. It is possible to develop roguelikes on it, although most persons are not so crazy. Handily, you can run C64 games on lots and lots of systems using an emulator! Look at http://www.viceteam.org/ for an example.<br />

SRogue is a simple coffeebreak roguelike game. There are no spells, instead you can mix reagents (like in ultima) and use them. Furthermore there is one overview map and 5 dungeons with 5 levels. In almost each dungeon you learn a new recipe, which may be necessary to reach another dungeon. One dungeon contain a staff. You can recharge the staff with your mixtures.<br />
You can search reagents with the 'g' key or the 'get' command on a specfic tile (stone (= ^), water (= ~), wood (= *), ...).<br />
<br />
* Note: You can't cross deep water until you learned a special mixture.<br />
* Note2: Keep in mind, using a mixture to cross a specific tile (e.g. stone) lasts only a few turns (!)<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
Katabatia is a classic style roguelike for [[Commodore 64]]. It is currently under development for the Retro Gaming Computer Development (RGCD) 16k Cartridge Compo. The rules state that the game must fit within the cartridge, but that compression is allowed. Ultimately the game code itself will be larger than 16k.<br />
<br />
Features:<br />
<br />
* Three classes, with four gods to worship. Sacrifice gold to improve a deity-specific stat.<br />
* Full joystick control, using menus for inventory interaction, etc.<br />
* Spells, Potions, and special weapons and armor. <br />
* Pour potions over equipment to change their magical abilities.<br />
* Switch between animated, graphical tiles, or static text-mode graphics.<br />
* Killer SID soundtrack<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
<br />
Joystick control is limited to 4 directions. I could have used 8, but it would have required tying up the button to ensure diagonal movement was detected before a single direction. With only one button to work with, you must hold the button to enter the menu. A button tap causes a turn to pass. The game does not delete saves on death (which is impossible to do on a tape drive, without the user rewinding to the beginning of the file), but it does count how many times a game has been loaded, so it will know when someone has beaten the game in one sitting. <br />
<br />
==Current State of Development ==<br />
<br />
The game is nearing completion. The most recent preview is a little old now, with the character unable even to wear weapons or armor. Inventory stuff is all done at this point.<br />

<br />
Katabatia is a classic style roguelike for [[Commodore 64]]. It is currently under development for the Retro Gaming Computer Development (RGCD) 16k Cartridge Compo. The rules state that the game must fit within the cartridge, but that compression is allowed. Ultimately the game code itself will be larger than 16k.<br />
<br />
Features:<br />
<br />
* Three classes, with four gods to worship. Sacrifice gold to improve a deity-specific stat.<br />
* Full joystick control, using menus for inventory interaction, etc.<br />
* Spells, Potions, and special weapons and armor. <br />
* Pour potions over equipment to change their magical abilities.<br />
* Switch between animated, graphical tiles, or static text-mode graphics.<br />
* Killer SID soundtrack<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
<br />
Joystick control is limited to 4 directions. I could have used 8, but it would have required tying up the button to ensure diagonal movement was detected before a single direction. With only one button to work with, you must hold the button to enter the menu. A button tap causes a turn to pass. The game does not delete saves on death (which is impossible to do on a tape drive, without the user rewinding to the beginning of the file), but it does count how many times a game has been loaded, so it will know when someone has beaten the game in one sitting. <br />
<br />
==Current State of Development ==<br />
<br />
The game is nearing completion. The most recent preview is a little old now, with the character unable even to wear weapons or armor. Inventory stuff is all done at this point.<br />

<div>The Commodore 64 is an old 8-bit system. It is possible to develop roguelikes on it, although most persons are not so crazy. Handily, you can run C64 games on lots and lots of systems using an emulator! Look at http://www.viceteam.org/ for an example.<br />
