So we're getting near the end? You're feeding us an acronym, then.

This element also has the letter "R".

Or it could be an "r", possibly. I don't think I've been precise on letter casing.

...oh my god, I just figured out what contains all of those letters.

The next version of DROD is going to have an alphabet. That's going to make writing word puzzles so much easier! I couldn't be more excited!

Well, that or "giant roach", but I'm holding out for the alphabet.

That's an excellent guess! Well, one of them, anyway. Well, actually, both of them are. Those are both kind of sneaky guesses. So, I'm not going to say whether you're right yet. But, you could find out for sure today!

You can now go and try out a part of DROD:TSS right here on the forum.

There's another "a" in the name.

Edit: Wow, someone else is really good at that game demo. Scored considerably better than I did. Congrats!

At least I played better than skell

I'll admit, about the point that I was hitting the fourth map, I was actually setting my goal as to beat Someone Else's round count. The Slayer decided I wouldn't get to, so I suspect I probably botched my score rather earlier on. I know for sure I could've shaved one turn off of level 5 right at the end, but that still would've left me a few turns shy.

If the fake trailer was scripted instead of hardcoded, we can look forward to some additions in scripting:

Spawn entities mid-room (I think the roaches are re-skinned goblins) Actually, the new thing here would be enabling coding goblin movement.
Trigger code on events (beethro collides against a wall, tar is attacked) We already can do this.
Add seep powers to monsters
Pop "Level Complete"-style messages
New commands (kill beethro [already possible], change color of tar like tokens do, track time passing)

What? Beethro would never use cyanide! It would ruin his reputation as a Smitemaster.

The time passing tracking thing could be fully faked. When he said he was 'waiting too long' on one point he could have just pressed the action/wait key and hooked it up to a suicide script.

Why's everyone gotta cast these aspersions of fakeness, faking and fakery on Pearls? He's the real deal. The genuine article.

Well, -I- for one know the truth. It is not Pearls who is the fake. He is too pure and genuinely likable to do that. No, the blame should be set on those developers! They bribed him to spread the lies and to take the blame for the act of lying to us! That is simply UNACCEPTABLE!!

Nah, I kid. No sweat off my back.
