Introducing Dungeons of Infinity

A talented individual known as Justin Bohemier has transformed the classic Super Nintendo hit, A Link to the Past, into a procedurally-generated roguelike dungeon crawler. Over four years in development using Gamemaker Studio with the original assets, the game 'Dungeons of Infinity' aims to offer a new and challenging experience for fans.

Key Features:

Procedural Generation - Each playthrough offers unique layouts, enemies, and items.
Link's Nemesis Aghanim - The ultimate challenge lies in encountering Link's arch-enemy, Aghanim. Survival depends on navigating the dungeons until reaching this final boss.

The creator emphasizes that no continues or extra lives are available, adding to the game’s difficulty curve.

What do you think about applying roguelike elements to classic games like 'A Link to the Past'? Have you encountered similar fan projects?

Yeah, I was annoyed by that as well, but if you like a link to the past, it’s worth it.

I disagree. Discord asked for my phone number when I tried to sign up, probably because I used a throwaway mail address and it detected that. No thanks.

Yeah ive has problems in discord rooms that require this cuz i refuse to give them my phone and they're good at catching the fake numbers from the Internet i tried to pass off. I wonder if it'd work if i tried some alphabet mafia phone numbers?

Discord server owners can choose to have their members require account verification before joining as an anti-bot measure.

For what it's worth, I've had my discord account for like 8 years at this point and have never received a text from them. I guess they might have sold it off somewhere but i get more political spam then anything else lol

The phone number requirement is a recent change I believe to deter people from creating multiple accounts, so any old timers probably didn't have to use a phone number to sign up.

I didn't comment on the requirement or not, I just know I added my number long ago and have had my account for 8 years

You'd have to pay me to use Discord.

Ok, how does $5 sound?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That is not even minimum wage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Depends if you're only using it for twenty seconds

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Payments happen usually at a hourly rate.

It's a fixed bid. The faster you get the work done the more you make per hour. (Per minute, really.)
