Re: Contraversial idea for a better se5
After hitting the Illwinter web page and seeing they recommended Dungeon Crawl, I checked it out and got semi-hooked. I went back to try Nethack again (which I've played on and off for years), I thought I rather preferred Dungeon Crawl. They're similar, but different. Worth a look for a change of pace. I don't expect to go back to nethack much though, myself. Though it definitely has many things Dungeon Crawl doesn't (and to a lesser extent vice versa, but DC does several basic things "better", to my tastes).
As for the actual thread topic, it's a reasonable idea. Aaron could even just release parts of the source code - not enough to recreate the game, but some useful game mechanics sections that players might be interested in. Maybe. Just a thought.
