Torchlit is a Roguelike under development that focuses on providing a variety of different quests right from the start. Some of them are coffee-break style small quests, others could potentially be big quests akin to the canon Roguelikes. (Although right now most of the quests are small.)

Development is focused in providing a set of common functions for generating the maps - ie, generate a castle, an overworld view, etc. Then it's possible to write a number of variations of these map generators, dubbed quests. Unlike other Roguelikes, where these quests might be seen as branches of a "main" dungeon, the player can choose to play a favorite quest as many times as the player would like.
