AI killed Slime Salad

It was Claude in particular.

I've updated our robots.txt in an attempt to prevent this in the future, but you can't really stop the AI apocalypse.

OHRRPGCE stable release (Hróðvitnir)

Most of you cool kids at Slimesalad already know what is in the nightlyies, but guess what? That stuff is in the stable release now!

The hróðvitnir stable release of the OHRRPGCE brings SDL2 as the default backend on (almost) all platforms, a lovely re-write gamepad handling, a global pool of NPC definitions to share between any map, and more bugfixes than you can shake a modestly sized stick at! This release also celebrates the completion of Fenrir Lunaris's Vikings of Midgard

Updates: Things are slowly becoming un-broken

Subsequent to our sudden upgrade, we've lost a lot of functionality. Thank you for your patience as we go through an awkward transition.

The game detail pages are back in order now. The ratings are unavailable still: although the data does exist, there's no interface for adding new ratings yet. Links to game detail pages from the old board should work again.

The front page of the site is back in order as well, not that regular users are...

You might have noticed that we are now on a different-looking forum. Please bear with me as we go through a rough transition.

Upgrades in progress: Expect instability

I am testing some upgrades, some of which may require rollbacks. I recommend against uploading games or writing high-effort posts in the next 24 hours, since they may disappear.

Dracula gotta make rent!

You know what's true horror? The cost of living these days! Even Dracula has to supplement his income with a barely regulated side gig that doesn't provide employee benefits.

Get in a fender bender and the company you're contracting for won't cover the medical bills? Good thing Dracula can feed on the blood of the living! Just nudge a few pedestrians and you're good as new! Be careful, though! Too many infractions, and you'll catch a bad case of the fuzz.

Make enough deliveries with no crashes and you'll start getting paid more with each delivery. You might even be able to keep up with the rent hikes Dracula's landlord keeps pounding down his throat ever since the city overturned its rent control laws! You won't keep up, though. No one will.
Good luck, and put that pedal to the metal, Drac!

Controls:

WASD/Arrow Keys: Move
