The commentary by the developer was perfect and had me laughing the entire time. Please ditch the music, or lower the volume, and have his voice playing while I'm playing the actual game. Cheers.

I'm guessing the number of classes is going to increase as the game is further developed/expanded. Once the overall game is ready for release, and has been well tested with a couple of classes, then I think it's the best time to slowly add more classes and get feedback from people who've bought it as to how well balanced they are. I'd rather it be approached that way, rather than us having to wait an eternity for the game to be released just because they're balancing a few new character types internally. ..that's the trouble with Roguelikes: There's so much content that can go into them. It's hard to know what's the ideal time to finally release. Yeah, two classes isn't very many. I'm guessing the number of classes is going to increase as the game is further developed/expanded.

Two is a bit too few I think. How many classes had the classic Rogue-Games? 10? Now all it needs is decent dungeon-randomization AND more classes. Two is a bit too few I think.

But know these guys, as the made clear in an interview over at GemSetWatch, have a very funky set of humor. There is the childlike paladin, the goth/depressed faerie, and even a very mellow and practical barbarian who has the ability to temporarily turn into a dinosaur.

I don't think any roguelike *has* to have any of the drawbacks you mention. Mix in a few pre-made components with the randomness and you can end up with a beautifully replayable game that's got variety. I'd cite ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery) as a good example, but that game is very very hard, so that would lose on another point. (A little bit of cheating can balance that out though.) ;) ADOM is also very well documented ..main problem the author and newsgroup found was that very few people would read it. So you just can't win really. Anyway, I have high hopes for this one. Even these new fangled fancy graphics, luxuries like sound-effects, and the total decadence that is music. This is an instabuy in my book. Hmmm.. I don't think any roguelike *has* to have any of the drawbacks you mention.

I love they way terms like "dear" or "friend" come into play at this point in the conversation. :) The thing is, after reading "Roguelike" several times on a page, the brain is inclined to interpret "Rougelike" as being the same. Presumably that's what the author did, maybe what any proofer did (if there was one) and that's exactly what I did too, including when you wrote it. So in that context it appeared you were objecting to the lack of a hyphen, which was just too grammar-nazi to pass by. A few words to give it some context might have made your response less terse or ambiguous. (As would more careful reading on my part.) :D {hugs} hehe..
