Additional Information
I grew up playing games, and one of my favorites was Rogue and its various ilk. I'm not talking about modern real-time roguelikes or roguelites, I'm talking about the original ASCII art Rogue where you were trying to find the amulet of Yendor. While I can still find places to play the original Rogue, I wanted to create a similar experience set in the post apocalypse, which has also been a favorite setting for me. Thus: Wasteland Rogue.This game is in early access, or something like that. I've tried to get a good balance of enemy strength and player progression, but there are a LOT of things that can and will change in the coming days.
