Is ToME done/dead now?

[Riftweaver]

i really like this game but it seems like things are calming down now.. any ch ance that there might e a sequel? or more dlc/content?

Darkgod said in the last announcement that there will be a DLC. 1.6 is also in active development if you check the gitlab.

Welcome to the world of indie roguelikes. Development has *never* been fast on ToME. Literally not ever. Things happen in DGTUs ("DarkGod Time Units"), which only have a passing semblance to what we know as "linear time". They're closely related to DMVTUs ("DMV Time Units") and DOTUs ("Dentist Office Time Units").

time is subjective.

[Morphic]

Isn't the next DLC going to include the Spyder space time arachnids? Also, wasn't there supposed to be a playable Naga race that was mentioned too? Maybe I'm from a different timeline...

[Bozobub]

Not a clue. For all I know, it might just be bugfixes and tweaks, although I doubt it.

[Jaie]

THings are happening and SOON(tm)

DarkGod has been working on T.O.M.E since the early 2000s, you think he's going to give up now? After 20+ reiterations?

[Bozobub]

It's a common sickness. I also own and play RimWorld, and the folks on the Steam forum there are *exactly* as bad, Which is asinine, because the game literally JUST went "1.0", FFS.

[davidb11]

It's really silly how people sometimes seem impatient.
I mean, I've been playing T.O.M.E since it was Pernangband. :P

[Bozobub]

Ha! Tell us of Ye Olden Times™, Grandpa, when you had to level up while standing on your hands, backwards. In the snow. Uphill..! xD

Anyway, yeah, the update cycle of the floppy era would'a just about murdered present-day kids. Basically, most of the time any real "update" was the freaking sequel to the game!

What do you think of the current UI, compared to then? Not the graphics (if there even was anything but ASCII then?) but overall design, if that makes any sense.

[davidb11]

Honestly, I do like the newer UI system than the old one. It was a little annoying during the old days at times.

[Bozobub]

Thanks!

Last new content was 11 months ago. I think it is too much time. A new class or at least a rework (eg. Bulwark, Alchemist) would be nice till we get the next big story DLC.

[Berenthas]

The game has one big update or dlc a year and some people still manage to complain. This is dumbfounding

Complaining about this game not updating in 11 months is akin to complaining about the sun shining in the morning.

Seriously, you need to be patient. Dark God has been making updates to his baby, T.O.M.E for almost 20 years.
