Roguelike

During the last few months while this place was collecting dust, quite a bit of stuff happened in the world of indie, not going to bother going over them all, but here are some more interesting (and more recent) news that are pretty interesting.

First of all, version 1.0 of Derek Yu's platformer/roguelike game Spelunky has finally been released. What's more, there's a Xbox Live Arcade version being planned... under Derek's new video game company Mossmouth. Maybe that mean less time/attention for Bit Blot?

Needing to talking about something other than Type-Moon, I found this grand 3-part Dwarf Fortress interview from Kwanzoo with the game's creator Tarn Adams today via TIGSource (which seems to have been blocked in China as of two days ago, thanks, proxy!).

The interview in question:

• Tarn Adams interview, part 1 of 3
• The Tarn Adams interview, part 2 (what, no "part 2 of 3"?)
• Tarn Adams interview, part 3 of 3

In case you don't know what Dwarf Fortress is (and you probably don't), here is a description from Wikipedia:
