Pfft. You can't even play it through SSH like Nethack, so what good is it?

Well, there's always getting your CCNA & becoming a real serial killer.

Someone doesn't know about doing a VNC ssh tunnel, apparently.

But can you fuck the corpse?

Hell, seeing how you can collect severed limbs, I wonder if you can collect severed genitals, or perhaps you get points for eating them.

If this has even half the level of detail as DF, I just... oh man.

"Alex Winters"? It must be pretty embarrassing to lose a gunfight to Bill S. Preston, Esquire.

SO goddamn sold. although i don't have a windows pc or the patience to finish a roguelike.

Finish a roguelike? You're usually lucky to last more then a few minutes.

You can do some pretty fucked up shit in dwarf fortress.

As a DF nerd, psychopathia is usually trumped by sociopathia, at least if the forum posts are any indication.

One time I made reconfigured the programming to allow the eating of sentient bigs, and then used this new found freedom to build a ziggurat made of goblin tallow soap, which I then filled with caged goblins and situated my noble's bedroom on top.

This is pretty weaksauce.

Christ almighty.

And here I thought I was a genius for throwing "famine parties" when food sources were low and locking all the attendants inside so I can watch the room fill up with purple and red.

BTW, fuck the Hospital implementation in DF2010. Booby-trapping bedrooms is a way more effective way of dealing with the injured and infirm.

FAKE

From the 'mastermind' behind this 'experiment':

"Oh hai /b/. On a scale of 1 to 10, what would you rate this troll as? Seriously, I think it's decently epic.

OMG I CAN HAZ SERIAL KILLER SIMULATION?

No. No you fucking cannot. But hey, I've given you guys a bunch of good ideas so yeah. Roll with it if you want.

Also, simmer the fuck down. I'm not taking your interweb details. I couldn't give a flying fuck on a starless night about what you do online. I haven't been hacked. I was actually expecting a massively negative response when I started this thing, which would have made the trolling much, much sweeter. Everyone fucking liked it though. Eh. Shows how much I know. Bit of a cock block to the overall enjoyment, but there you go.

Yes, you can use the video or any of the shit I threw out there as a basis for your own game. Make it look exactly the same as it does in the video if you want. Use the same name. I don't claim any copyrights on any of it.


So the game's a hoax that was made for lulz. It worked alright. Since it isn't an actual game, I'll keep the following for posterity. Hopefully, someone legit will make an actual serial killer roguelike game, and it will be awesome."


This is pretty much exactly how I would expect somebody who pretends to make computer games as an 'experiment' to write like.
