Hi BALUG-talk!
I’m Asheesh, long-time BALUG member. I’ve been volunteering with friends to organize a conference about roguelike video games. Do you want to attend?
Some interesting facts about the conference and roguelike games:
- These are games where you explore a virtual world, created uniquely (“procedurally”) every time you play.
- Early ones, including famous ones like nethack, are purely command line-oriented.
- Last year, one of the conference swag items was socks. :)
- Our audience is people who enjoy playing the games, rather than technical talks for game developers. You can see that in the speaker lineup!
- It’s Nov 11 & 12, and our website is here: https://roguelike.club/
- There will be a live “speed run” of nethack, in which Adeon tries to play this multi-day game in just two hours.
- And we use a Let’s Encrypt certificate :)
I’d love to see BALUG folks at the conference. I’m happy to answer questions about the conference if people have them!
Asheesh.
