Hmm it gets harder I got genuinely lost on levels 8 and 9! (I played Old school with no mapping)M.M wrote:I agree with OP that dungeons coul be more complex. I play it old-school and i gave up mapping by myself for as for now (lv7 at damn iron door), there was no need for it.
The only problem i had was with "westermost" scroll". It is not easy to find anything "westermost" without a map, and compass suddenly becomes essential.
Getting lost is not an option.
while i agree that the post you're responding to is silly, your post is also silly. there are tons upon tons of amazing games that are open source and/or freeware that were made simply out of love - where a 'whole team of programmers' got together just to make a great game. nethack, crawl, battle for wesnoth, freeciv, and on and on and on, i could list dozens.marshill wrote:The idea that you would put together a whole team of programmers to simply "donate" their time OWS style in order to make a great game simply to benefit humanity in some kind of anti-capitalist socialist utopia is nonsense.

and how many of them sold their games and didn't release the source code / assets? freeware and open source is all great and everything, but LoG is not freeware or open source. it is a product. it is sold for cash.
