The dynamic legend and narrative bar are really great additions to roguelikes. Did you have inspiration for these things? I don't know that I've seen either of them done before.
Brogue has a dynamic legend. I've not seen a narrative like that, though.
Ah, I don't remember it from Brogue but it has been a while since I played it.
Thank you for mentioning Brogue, from a couple of levels I went through I found it very approachable (both in UI and gameplay) yet not shallow.
Brogue has a dynamic legend for monsters and items. I've never seen one done so well for terrain. This game does a nice job of combining all useful information I need in one tiny spot. Well done!
Aaaand... idea stolen! ;)
The dynamic legend I have not seen before, but this game must be based loosely off of nethack (which includes a narrative).
