Great read.
Though as I’ve said before, this game has the most beautiful ASCII graphics I have ever seen. The only ASCII game before this I had played was Dwarf Fortress, and even that was with a tileset, so I’m not sure if that counts.
Everything is just quite simple, and a friend of mine who had never even seen an ASCII game before got used to in a matter of minutes. I just think some people don’t even want to try and SEE what cartain symbols represent, ending up just being lazy and complaining on the forums about tilesets, but whatevers. Semi-Rant over.
