Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoSame, I could play it if it was like nes pixel art even. But this looks like it was developed on windows 95 when only ascii art was available.
And the constant text updating you on what is around you bcz the graphics are so primitive.
Based on the description I thought it would be really interesting. But after watching a YouTube video, I was like, eehhhhh, not for me.

There was never such a time…

Yes there absolutely was, probably actually before windows 95. But even in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically, so nobody would actually call it crappy.

If only ASCII art was available, then Windows 95 itself wouldn’t have been possible, being a graphical OS. Games in the 70s and 80s had non-ascii graphics.

windows 3.1 was first widespread used version of windows. But DOS games still had graphics. Nethack is a great game that is simple enough to learn, but you have to die 1000 times to actually learn.
