The Chronicles Of Doryen (or TCOD) is a roguelike in development since 2006. The main objectives of TCOD are :

  • to push the visual limits of ASCII RPG.
  • to create a ASCII hack'n slash RPG accessible to casual players who are not used to the complex interfaces generally used in the roguelikes.

Some of the fancy features :

  • true color ASCII mode
  • real time

The base classes of TCOD are available in the Doryen library. The source code is also available under the BSD license. Check the Doryen library homepage for more information.

The Doryen Arena is a sub-project that lets you test out TCOD's real-time melee fighting system. Check The Doryen Arena homepage.
