About

ArenaRL is a tactical sci-fi game, that pitches the player in a deathmatch against several AI opponents in randomised arenas. As such, it will be a highscore-based... coffeebreak... roguelike-ish.. thing...

The obvious inspiration is Quake 3 Arena by id Software, and several ideas, plus some new ones, are adapted into a roguelike interface:

  • targetting
  • character advancement
  • orientation of movement
  • jumping
  • teleportation
  • respawning
  • non-cheating AI

ArenaRL is also an incubator for a roguelike engine that hopefully can eventually be used by a future sci-based exploration (proper) roguelike.
