How excited are you?!
Excited for an update to a game I've never heard of? Not likely.
>>319599437
Isn't that update just a bunch of recoding?
Great! Hope the android version catches up soon.
>>319599437
Nice! What'd they add?
Thinking of trying it out again with a real keyboard and ssh instead of just playing on my phone
>finally released from after 10 years
>>319599950
Yeah they tidied the source up but theres also a bunch of new features.
>>319600050
From the release notes...
"A number of significant changes were derived from UnNetHack, NetHack 4 and other variants, such as: Roderick Schertler's pickup_thrown patch; Extensions of Malcolm Ryan's Statue Glyphs patch for tty and tiles; Extensions of the Paranoid_Quit patch; Extensions of the Dungeon Overview; Aardvark Joe's Extended Logfile; Michael Deutschmann's use_darkgray patch; Clive Crous' dark_room patch; Jeroen Demeyer and Jukka Lahtinen sortloot patch; Stefano Busti's Auto open doors patch."

Nothing beats playing it in a term with ascii graphics!
>>319600560
Sounds like good stuff.
Any tips for beginners to the real experience?
>>319602216
Expect to die a lot friend.
Take your time, dont be afraid to read the nethack wiki, theres no shame in it.
Enjoy.

Good sources of info are the Nethack wiki, the Roguelike general over at /vg/, the nethack spoilers at http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~eva/nethack/spoilerlist.html , and possibly #nethack on irc.freenode.org , although note that #nethack is a censorship-heavy anti-racist banhammer spamming place with a fat furry feminist as one of their sysops.
NetHack got updated?
NETHACK GOT UPDATED?
I wouldn't be surprised if Half-Life 3 gets announced soon.
>>319605032
Yeah man, whats a decade between friendo's?
>>319599437
I heard nethack is built around spoilers and the game is bullshit unless you know them.
How true is this? If true, should I just read the spoilers and do it for real?
>>319599673
>I've never heard of
So this is what it's come to.
How hard would it be to get into Nethack if I playPixel Dungeon?

One view is that its more an experience than a game to finish.
Play it, its free after all, explore it, poke it, prod it.
Read the wiki, get some tips if you like, its still unlikely you'll finish it, but then I'm not sure thats the point.

I've played Nethack a bunch, I just never get very far and I'd rather play something like Cataclysm DDA or Dwarf Fortress. Crawl is fun but sort of mindless.
Just wonder if the majority of high level players ever uncovered the OP spoilers themselves or just read it from somewhere.
>>319607880
It can certainly be beaten without reading the spoilers, you will uncover stuff yourself as you play.
>>319599437
I have not yet identified the excitement. That's part of the magic.
>TYOOL 2015
>still playing nethack when ToME4 exists
>>319599673
Thanks for proving that neo-/v/ is actually a thing, and not just another stupid meme.
>>319599437
nethack is the worst, garbage tier meme roguelike. there is really no reason to play it other than to take notes on how not to design a roguelike in 2015. see /roguelikegeneral/ for actual good games.
>>319607880
>>319608813
Most of what you need to know to beat the game can be learned in the first 8 levels or so either by luck, intuition, or hints dropped by the game. The rest is just trial, (usually fatal) error, and patience.
Holy shit, thanks op.
the only roguelike i play is elona+
I like brogue cause I keep dying in elona. Maybe I will try this "nethack" out
Kinda wanted to do angband first tho
