Powerups will not carry from room to room, but mimics can now cross room boundaries

What room boundaries? Levels--under the TCB engine, are going to allow you to have rooms that are larger than 32x38 squares.

Also, you can have Roach Kings - 3x3 roaches that take nine stabs to kill and don't go away until they're dead.

New! Sometimes, Beethro will forget to bring his spawn clock into a room! Oh, the horror!

Will we see message "you must be cheating if you see this message" (I haven't seen it personally but my friend have) at the end of TCB (as in JtRH)?

There's going to be a new character that's completely surrounded by swords, so you can't kill him and he can easily kill you! What fun!

Oh yeah, there's also an uberbomb that can explode the whole room, including solid walls, thus invariably killing you no matter where you are. How useful!

And a super-queen which uses advanced AI routines to ensure that Beethro can never catch it.

And a queen queen that will randomly spawn out different enemies queens, totally ruining the perfect information ideal!

Also, every room will be randomly generated, so you might not even know if the room is possible or not, AND you can't search for help on it!

I just got a PM from Matt Crampy! And you know what he just told me? He said that TCB is already out, but it just has a different name. You know what that name is? DROD3D!

Nope, that's in it's full glory! No one bother to play it all the way through. The JTRH levels were after the KDD levels, and the TCB levels were after that! Then came the ROLF levels, and the LMAO levels! And last but not least, the OMGLOLBBQ levels!

One looked-forward to feature are the BBQ pits, where if Beethro lures a roach and a bottle of ketchup into the pit, all monsters in the room gather round to try some delicious roach ribs.

And don't forget the built in minigames! You can play Pong, or Pac-man, or Mafia right on your Drod interface! Of course the computer will beat you 95% of the time....

At Pong or Pacman, sure, but I'd like to see a decent AI that could play Mafia. I think that's impossible even by today's standards.

Well, the AI cheats. It knows who everyone is. It kills off all the citizens if you're a citizen, and it lynchs the mafia if you're mafia.

And, by doing this faster then the speed of light, it in fact beats you yesterday.

I could bring He Who Shall Not Be Named As He Has Not Yet Desecrated This Forum into it, but I shall refrain from doing so.

No, I'm not talking about some fictional Harry Potter character.

Also, electrical cables will be laid across the dungeons for the BTV project, so anything that steps on it receives a painful electric shock and dies! What fun! !
