Suspected something like that, and TBH I don't like the idea of external downloader programmes. I guess it's understandable if the software that is downloaded this way needs to be tightly integrated with the OS, but everything else should work just fine with a direct download.

I noticed that after a certain update the site started using some external downloader programme instead of direct download links. I wonder why?

Yeah, the forums aren't very active but there are knowledgeable people there like Frenkel who might know the details.

You can also try asking at RGB Classic Games Forums and at Duke4.net Forums as well.

Apparently some global level dimensions are wrong. Maybe you should try taking the original files and editing them again to check if this is something caused by the editor or not.

Re: [Windows] 2d top-down rpg (roguelike)

- There was a shop/city/castle on the ground level where you started. - Each level you progressed down the monsters became harder. - I don't know if I never got to the bottom, or if it was endless. - Only one player character that I recall. - Mazelike randomized levels. - Tile-like movement.

the main feature i remember was that the ship had an upgrade of 3 weapon drones moving around the ship in a circle Weapon drones are a very common feature in shmups, so it's probably a better idea to try finding your game among side-scrolling shmups with pre-rendered sprite graphics.

It is my understanding that the levels are generated by the same principle as in the traditional top-down roguelikes. Judging by the gameplay videos, the result has a distinct Corridor 7 feel.
