Grimrock

So I came up with a few ideas for the Oitu http://i59.tinypic.com/r0c9c0.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/nno21g.jpg (you might have to zoom out a bit to properly view the pics ) It will get interesting to make him look properly balanced, that's something that a few pixel sprites can largely ignore. I hop...

Hi fellow creative cellarlords and ladies, After enjoying the exquisite Dungeon Master mod for Grimrock 1 I got the modeling itch. So I'm gonna build and reimagine some of the classic monsters. If other artists want to chime in and talk / show off their doodles, ideas and creations -DM related or no...

I don't really see the distinction. "Torchlight" is also a diablo-clone game, which further muddles the pot. What I am interested to know is how long the term Dungeon Crawler has been in use. Is that really what they called them in the past or is it a relatively modern coin of phrase? Tor...

Personally I'd suggest that DM/EoB/LoG etc are pure Dungeon Crawlers, and are exactly what I think of when I hear the term, Dungeon Crawler. If you look at the Wiki on the subject, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_crawl Here's a quote from it, Some distinguish "dungeon crawlers" from ...

BloodLust - Shadowhunter is another "Indie" dungeon crawler in development - (it's Vampire themed and sort of looks like a sequel to Masquerade Bloodlines... but actually plays more like a dungeon crawler) Its not as polished as Grimrock (it's not party-based or gridbased either) but has ...

It has been said that the most excellent 'Legend of Grimrock' is an "old school dungeon crawler". While somewhat true, in a broader sense, a closer look shows us that the often mentioned 'Bard's Tale' and 'Wizardry' aren't really like Grimrock. Sometimes a name sticks, and today, most peop...

Nay to elves, dwarves, hobbitses and the rest of the yawnlings.

Yay to snailtaurs, ratmen, fish-harpies, scaly zebroids, undead half-possums and overweight glugnogs!

Let's take a look at what provisions an inclined corridor-crawler should include in his travels. There are ten items for the connaisseurs de la cuisine donjon. Each one is different in weight and nourishment. Some say they even taste differently, but if if you're being chased by farting mushroom men...

Thanks for the immensely quick reply, but could you elaborate a bit? What does the archer need willpower for, then? Or any other attributes, apart from vit>health. What is your verdict on a monk type character? An assassin without a weapon specialization seems underpowered if the corresponding skill...
