Re: Vore Roguelike
I got to Floor 2. I love the fact that you put red snakes in. Although the first one I saw had me for his butt meal. Their strength took me a bit by surprise I have to admit. What other new monsters does the update have? I only saw that red snake on Floor 2 almost as soon as I got on it.

you down load from the link
you get a .zip
open said zip with any compatible program (i used winzip)
drag and drop the contents out into were ever you want to play it. that should be ether a jar or a folder containing a jar. winzip is a jack ass and thinks its a good idea to open jars with it. say screw that and right click>open with>javaSEbinary
if you cant fallow thoes steps then you downloaded the wrong thing

Re: Vore Roguelike
The file for me is 66kb which seems rather small for a game, when I try to open it it says it's unknown file format or a damaged file.

Re: Vore Roguelike
Hehe, since a lot of you seem to be having some trouble with this, I'll try to explain a bit, provided you use Windows.
The file you download initially is a .zip file, which is basically a way to compress a file and make it smaller (and thus faster to download). It is also roughly 60kb for me, so you probably have the right one LilianiMirx. Once you have decided a folder to save it in and downloaded it, you'll need to use an archiving program to extract the base files back out. A good free one I use is 7zip, which you can find here: http://www.7-zip.org/ Alas, this program is for Windows users, but there are likely other similar ones available for Macs and Linux.
Once you've got the program, use it to extract the folder from the .zip, and save it in the location of your choosing. Find the newly-created folder, and inside it should be a file called Dragon 1.2.jar. This is an executable java file, and if you have Java installed and updated on your computer you should be able to simply double-click that file and run the game like that. If it doesn't work, or it doesn't recognize the file type, check to see if you've got java installed to it's latest version. As of today (1/19/2013), that should be version 7, update 11, found here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp This is the version for general computer users rather than developers, but I think it'll work fine for this.
If that still doesn't work, or if you're a Mac/Linux user... unfortunately, I can't be a huge amount of help. :/ Some others have fussed with stranger issues in the thread, so maybe that'll help you out a bit.

Now that that's over with... I've played through the new version of the game, and I gotta say... it's a big step-up from it's previous incarnation hehe. I found it a bit easy at the start as long as you spend some time leveling up and gathering items, but once you hit the third floor I actually think it gets decently challenging. I certainly got nommed and gurgled by a lot of the enemies there, and I actually had to play careful to get through it. So... great work on adjusting the difficulty i say!
I also like the new touches you've added, like making struggling much more of a viable option for players with higher strength and the like, the more compact maps, and the new enemy AI. Even talking to your befriended animals was fun, although I imagine a bit more variation there would definitely be welcome. In a similar vein... I do like the handful of new enemies you've included, and it definitely makes me curious what more you'll add, but I was wondering how challenging it'd be to give them all different flavor text when they vore you and such. I get the feeling the text is more vore-dependent than enemy-dependent, but it'd be a nice way to differentiate between the different animals and spice up the experience a tad.
Besides those two minor complaints though... this really is a fantastic game, something I've actually had fun playing over and over again, which is quite a bit better than most games around here. Great work, I'm definitely curious to see where you'll take things from here!

Re: Vore Roguelike
Loving the game. Very fun and does it's purpose, compact and enjoyable~
One question though; It's a 66 kb game.. But when i play it, it uses up to 50% of my CPU. Is there anyway to curb this?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that hehe. I was getting this issue too, and the game was actually lagging a tad. Just my own two cents about the matter.

The mediafire link says the file has been deleted. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my side, though.

The download still works. Once you extract it you just need to have java installed and run the jar
