7DRL 2008: Results!

Derek Yu — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:20:00 +0000

The results of this year’s Seven Day Roguelike Competition are in! There were 23 entrants in total, 9 of whom successfully completed their roguelike.

Some of the games are really interesting and well-executed, like Fatherhood (pictured above), a RL which has you damming up floods while taking care of your three rambunctious children. There’s also Numbers, an educational roguelike where you solve math problems to defeat monsters like the Pithon and the Minussaur.

Thanks to Slashie of Rogue Temple for the info. And be sure to check out his entry, MegamanRL, which I believe is the first side-scrolling platformer roguelike ever made?!

Re: Fatherhood - what a great concept!

I love the grammatical mistake in that screen shot, Denouncing the river to Hell might not save your children as effectively as building a blockade to keep the water out.

Dang, and I seriously just thought of the platformer roguelike idea a week ago.

But clearly I have no excuse since that would’ve been just enough time to implement a 7DR! (I will blame the shmup I am making for hindering my progress)

Congrats and hooray to all the 7DR devs!

p.s. I also have a strange number fetish.

Congrats to everyone who participated! The contest was a lot of fun, and I’m really happy with the turnout. I like Numbers in particular, because it… forces you to solve mathematical equations? I’m not sure how I feel about considering that fun. Oh well, it’s likely many of the people scumming this site also have a strange number fetish, so I don’t feel too bad.
