How does that happen? First time reaching Zion. Had no idea what I was doing there. Could appreciate a hint w/r/t those zion terminals...

Farthest run happened to be my most yolo run so far. :/ Feedback welcome.

Also those caves, where all dropped equipment dissapears.. That was painful

Ah okay, worth a shot! Automated high scores would be pretty awesome. If you had to do it over again, would you change the architecture to be more malleable?

ZXC!! What are the odds we can convince you to youtube this run

Crawl, nethack and even cdda benefit from the fact you can play online with a community.

It would possibly be infeasible (not terminal native), but really awesome if we had some sort of client server relationship become possible. Even if you need a cogmind client running to watch someone else play, the data can just go through an intermediary. Server high scores and the like could be really awesome here.

Please consider adding vi key jumping. Even if we had to hold down another modifier key. I play without a numpad :/ (laptop)

I know gammafunk, I watch his dcss content. I know zxc from the crawl irc too! Had no idea he had a YT.

As for usefulness, I know, not very useful. I just watch roguelikes in the background while I work, anything else is too distracting. Also just a fan

I get the ephermal nature dealy, just saying you all make great content. Maybe I can badger zxc into a few more YT vids

Oi! Kyzrati!

Still loving the game, but for some reason your streams aren't archived and I very much enjoy those too. On your twitch it only shows 5 videos

Any chance you'd be willing to archive them in the future for us less fortunate to catch them?

Any other twitch streamers stream the game?

This would likely be a wine compatibility issue. You would have to consult the wine documentaton, or run it with strace to figure it out, as this probably works well with windows.

Worth noting that GDM sits on top of X. Alt tab is an implementation of Gnome. To my knowledge it is not natively supported by X. If I'm correct, this would be hard to account for in Wine as well.

I know this post is old, but it seems to be the canonical resource for linux questions regarding cogmind.

In case anyone is curious, on a rather fresh install of ubuntu gnome 16.04 with an apt-get of wine, cogmind _just works_

You can ignore the pulseaudio issues, as long as your default device is configured, it should be fine. PA is always a PITA though.

AMA

The article you refer to was probably RPS, the only major media outlet that picked up on Cogmind. I didn't do any pre-launch press notifications (even now I've talked to almost none), since I figured alpha could be limited mostly to long-time followers, though there will be a lot more official press activity come full launch.

RPS it was. I had the article still in my reading list. You should take it as a complement though, roguelikes (in the standard non adapted means) generally get little to no media attention.

Haven't had a chance to play Dungeonmans, but I know the dev and he's a cool guy. I'm glad the game is doing as well as it is.

Do it. I would highly recommend adjusting your expectations though. A lot of people criticize the academy mechanic of the game. It makes it incredibly different from most other roguelikes, but that doesnt mean it makes it bad

First impressions of cogmind: Hard as fuck.

Hi I'm Senjai (aka Richard Wilson).

I've never.. paid for an alpha anything before so this is kind of new. I purchased cogmind because I'm a huge fan of roguelikes, and it looks like an extremely well polished product.

-How did you learn about Cogmind?

I believe it was from an article on Polygon? They show up on my RSS feed along with other gaming/tech websites.

-What other roguelikes do you enjoy?

Tales of Maj'eyal, Brogue, and Dungeonmanns.

Of all roguelikes I've played and enjoyed DCSS the most for the community and depth.

-What are your other favorite games?

Mostly CSGO when not playing roguelikes

-What do you do for fun when you're not playing games?

I'm a software developer (http://github.com/Senjai unfortunately 99% of my code is NDA ). We do ecommerce consulting. I write code in my free time, but I'd like to get into lower level languages so I figure roguelikes may be a good excuse to accomplish that (*wink* make cogmind open source eventually *wink* Darkgod did it for TOME eventually and still does well *wink*). Most of my time is spent in Elixer, Ruby, Javascript, and Go.

Really looking to how this turns out. I run linux natively, would love to be able to play this in a terminal in tmux eventually
