A freeware MSX game that is rather similar to Vampire Killer but plays a lot smoother. I might just do a TAS of it in the near future. Complete Map curtosey of msxsolutions

What is this, Kid Belmont? Like most Castlevanias, it'd probably be decent when optimized.

Pyrel - an open-source rewrite of the Angband roguelike game in Python.

Link to video While I still have some route and weapon testing to do (as in, are the Special Weapons worth a damn against bosses), I already decided to share a bit of what may be awaiting you. Luck manipulation is the biggest pain in making this movie, because there isn't any. See those random noises on the start-up screen? Yeah, that's literally the entire extent (to my knowledge) that I can manipulate certain enemies by, including timers for bats and skeleton bones, which I may need for damage boosts. Anyway, enjoy and tell me what you think.
