Interview with SLASH'EM Developers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the alpha-means-never-having-to-say-you're-sorry dept.

MilenCent writes "The O'Reilly Network posted an interview with super-deluxe Nethack variant SLASH'EM's Warren Cheung and J. Ali Harlowe last month talking about the impending beta release of v0.0.7E2. (Don't you just love incredibly provisional version numbers? In development for years and not even a 0.1 yet!) There's another recent O'Reilly article on the game too."

    That's NWN. A nethack module should be really interesting...

    Oh, come on...slash'em is a hacky hack hack by twits for whom the One True Game is not enough. Anyone familiar with the archetypical "Monty Haul" campaign? Slash'em is just extra chrome for the "The Sims" crowd. It adds way too much crap to an otherwise uncluttered game. Just go get the Amulet of Yendor already. Bored with nethack? Well, you should be...part of being a serious nethack player is mastering the game, getting bored, and moving on. It's like at the end of "Yellowbeard" when Dan murders his father.
