Roguelike Celebration

Our full schedule is up, and what an amazing one it is! roguelike.club/event2026.html Our delightful alternate-sports themed MUD will be open for you to watch all of this goodness live on October 17-18!

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a conference! Attendees, please check your emails for our post-conference wrap up. That mail contains a link to a post-conference survey... and an Unidentified Steam Game! Some of our Roguelike Celebration Sale game devs have generously donated keys to hand out to you all.

First post to celebrate yet another year captioning my favorite event! This event has been with me through out of state moves, getting married to my wife, and having TWO kids! Wild. @roguelike.club

"fix goat cardinality" is now officially my favorite commit message for the Roguelike Celebration MUD

The @roguelike.club social space is rad because we can run into issues like “ah you’ve accidentally slipped into a past world, rooms that exist and yet do not. We don’t know how to follow you there. We’re not sure what happens when you leave. Please click the obelisk and hard refresh your browser.”

Roguelike Celebration would love to thank all of our attendees, volunteers, speakers, and our sponsors! This year, the creator of Transcendence: store.steampowered.com/app/364510/T... is our Partner Sponsor and we are so thankful for their support. Stop by their battle arena in the MUD!

I made some little guys during the #roguelikecel talks, for @eblong.com mazes, and @everest.bsky.social’s deep dive into holes

The time for @roguelike.club is now!!! We’re already kicking it off with a breakdown of trap design patterns in the style of programming design patterns and it kicks ass.

Roguelike Celebration is pay-what-you-can this year. It's my favorite games conference and each year is a great time! Give them some money so they (unlike some multinational corporations I can think of) can continue paying speakers.

@unormal.bsky.social and I are giving a talk about the localization of @cavesofqud.com on Sunday! The rest of the conference is always a great time, hope to see some of y'all around the social space MUD during the conference!

I'm giving a talk on Sunday about push your luck games. It's a bit of a design exploration that I think will go to some interesting and unexpected places

Roguelike Celebration is broadcasting this weekend. They usually post the videos afterwards, but attending it means you get to experience the custom MUD and group viewing experience.
