Caves of Qud has been in development since 2007, developed by Freehold Games LLC. It focuses on exploration, in-depth character building, and the discovery of a dense history that is parts static, parts procedurally generated.<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
<br />
===Character Creation===<br />
<br />
====Genotypes====<br />
<br />
Caves of Qud has a two-part character creation system that allows the player to be a '''Mutated Human''' or '''True Kin''', each with their own quirks and mechanics. Each genotype also has 12 callings or castes respectively, which influence starting skills, stats, and gear.<br />
<br />
'''Mutated Humans''' have access to over 70 mutations which can be acquired through leveling, providing passive stat bonuses and activated abilities, among other things.<br />
<br />
'''True Kin''' have access to cybernetics, which function much the same as mutations except they are somewhat more powerful, but must be found and installed. They also have higher starting stats and skill points per level than mutants.<br />
<br />
====Skills====<br />
<br />
Caves of Qud currently has 19 sets of skills that range from traditional combat skills, such as axe or pistol, and less traditional, specialized skills such as wayfaring and folklore. Skills may be gated behind prerequisite skills or stat values, and each set of skills may have as many as 8 sub-skills that cannot be purchased until the set has been purchased as well. <br />
<br />
===Exploration===<br />
<br />
Caves of Qud treats exploration similarly to [[ADOM]], with (currently) 7 static settlements, 3 world-map dungeons (the contents of which vary between runs, and many procedurally generated ruins, villages, and features such as peculiar plant life and trader caravans. The map is also completely static, regions getting progressively more difficult as the player travels west.<br />
<br />
Of note is the game's large underground, which functions as one large dungeon. It is as large as the surface map, and of indeterminate depth, getting harder as you descend.<br />
<br />
====Quests====<br />
<br />
The game's static and procedural settlements offer written and generated quests specifically. The written quests follow a storyline and serve the purpose of uncovering Qud's lore and setting, although nearly no content in the game beyond lore and unique items is locked behind the main story.<br />
<br />
===Miscelleneous===<br />
* Hunger and thirst<br />
* Artifacts, powerful technological items that must be identified before use<br />
* History generated for Qud's past and villages, the former of which generates accompanying holy relics<br />
<br />
== Other ==<br />

'''RogueCraft''' is a roguelike thing, with multiple influences.<br />
<br />
==RogueCraft==<br />
===Story===<br />
<br />
As hinted in the July 17th, 2012 release, RogueCraft has a story involving slaying the demons of hell and Satan.<br />
<br />
===Gameplay===<br />
<br />
Currently, no real gameplay elemnts exist, though the source code and game screen currently hint at a class based leveling system with crafting abilities.<br />
<br />
===Development===<br />
<br />
The game is developed in a C-like C++ environment using SDL and libtcod, making it portable, though only a Windows version currently exists.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: red">'''Warning: this game has mature content that may be illegal to view in your jurisdiction.'''</span><br />
<br />
[[Noxico]] is one of the first large-scale erotic roguelikes. It features an expansive overworld to explore, presented in <s>glorious full color Unicode</s> an extended graphical character set. It comes with a full soundtrack courtesy of [http://modarchive.org/ ModArchive] and is designed to be easily user-expansible.<br />
<br />
== Gameplay ==<br />
As a hero sent to find a portal to the Demon World and close it, you wander the wilderness of Nox, visit its various towns, and explore its dungeons.<br />
<br />
On the overworld, you can freely move from screen to screen to explore. In towns, you can mingle with the many colorful villagers, learn what they know, and if you feel like it, have sex with them. Between towns is the wilderness, where less amiable beings roam. You might also find a dungeon entrance, or some other special area...<br />
<br />
Dungeons are generated upon first entry, and play more like classic Roguelikes would. Somewhere there's a special, probably unique item that you could make good use of.<br />
<br />
== Morphic unstability ==<br />
Where the world generation and expansive overworld are inspired by [[Dwarf Fortress]], one aspect in particular is specifically based on ''Corruption of Champions'': you can change your character's body, both at will and involuntarily. Certain items, when used, will shift your physical appearance towards some goal, along with certain statistics. As the game's site says, "you want to be a little pony with a fox tail and demon wings? ''You damn well can''."<br />
<br />
== A call for prose ==<br />
Most of the code is basically there, if in an unfinished state. But an important part is missing, and that is raw prose. Dialogue, sex scenes, descriptions of things. If you've tried a recent build and think you're up to it, ''please'' contact [[User:Kawa|Kawa]] about it through one of the many channels available.<br />
<br />
== Screenshots ==<br />
