ThiefRL

The Thief-like Rogue-like

Screenshot

Through the streets and courtyards creeping
While the populace is sleeping
Guards patrol to keep you out
If they see you they will shout
Douse the torch and pick the lock
Pilfer every building's stock
When the dawn arrives you'll be
Safely sailing o'er the sea.

I made this some time in the 2008 time frame, judging by the dates on the blog posts. It's got a lot more features in it than the later version I did for a 7DRL: lock-picking, notes and signs to read, lights and light switches, and a neutral sea captain of the ship you're berthed on. He's there to give you a safe place to practice the stealth mechanics, and a way to end the game once you've collected all the loot.

The map is fixed, although it is randomly mirrored and the locks are all randomized. There are some goofy little things in it; I was just trying a lot of things out. You might see a ghost wandering around out of the corner of your eye; it doesn't do anything.
