Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.0.0 aka "And the Sky Full of Stars"

DarkGod · December 30, 2012, 23:37

The board is set, the pieces are moving.

Nearly three years ago I uttered those same words when releasing the first beta of ToME4.
Before that there were 20 closed alphas and since then 43 betas and 4 RC releases, all played and loved by an increasing number of players, now over ten thousand.
During all this time my goal has never changed: to build a game that is both deep and complex but also fun and as accessible as possible. I have never believed in grinding, and have in many cases gone against the "traditional roguelike way" and I have always done it with those goals in mind.
Today is payoff time! For three years I have worked extremely hard on this game because I fell in love with it and I am blessed because others did too: great, fun, nice people; some of which also helped in the making of the game; each in their own way. To them, and to all my players, I send a huge "Thanks, I love you girls and guys!"

Without further annoying chit-chat, and with immense pleasure, I give you: Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.0.0
Go download it from http://te4.org/

And here comes the GOLD release of the formerly named ToME 4.0.0. Now, we're talking business!

Congrats DG, that's an impressive achievement. A brilliant demonstration of the advantages of a benign dictator!

Congratulations! This is a really impressive accomplishment and a milestone for the Roguelike genre. I don't know if others here have been following those changelists, but there has been a *lot* of work on ToME during those betas. Great work!

Yay, congratz! I also helped a bit with graphics for this game too

Here's to all ToME 4 contributors!

I'd love to join the party, but first of all I need to finish my comp character.

There's even a trailer video at the Steam link (OP). Looks very cool.

That trailer is pure insanity. When the Chronomancer dialog thing popped up I was like :O :O :O

Looks incredible!!
