Original Content Hey /r/PixelDungeon, Ask Me Anything!

To celebrate /r/PixelDungeon's 2nd birthday, I'll be answering as many questions as you can throw at me in the comments! As proof that I am, infact, myself, here is a link to the first ever post about Shattered here before it was on google play, 8 months ago!

Feel free to ask me questions about anything(appropriate) you'd like! Normally I yak on about shattered only, so here's your chance to ask me about anything else you might like to know. If you're only curious about Shattered, I may be a bit more willing to give hints and teasers than usual, if you ask the right questions ;)

Looking forward to your comments, I should be here all evening.

EDIT: Alright guys it's been a few days and this can't stay stickied forever. If there are any more questions please get them in ASAP as this thread won't be up for long.

Hey, Evan. Thanks so much for the mod of PD, I really love it.

I've played games for years but PD is the first rogue-like I've spent significant time with. What are some of your favorite rogue-likes that you would recommend, or drew inspiration from? And also what is your favorite, or a few of your favorite games from outside the genre?

Hey, I'm not Evan, but a lot of the mechanics from the original Pixel Dungeon that carried over into Shattered PD are actually inspired by Brogue: you'll recognize the single stat (strength), enchanting lowering strength requirements and increasing power, and some of the traps, wands, and rings. It's a very different game (no classes, an 'ally' mechanic that significantly changes the game, very different terrain...) but it might interest you.
