It was only until early 2022 that development was resumed. All the core aspects he set to do from the beginning are present in the current version: a small level count with a couple new monsters and a kind of special feature introduced on each.

From the beginning, this was a project that was meant to be more relaxed (and personal!) than the development of ADOM and uADOM. I hope you can enjoy it... get it now at roguelike.games/grog/ :)

After this initial push, I believe he went on to all the work in Ultimate ADOM and his many other occupations; it wasn't until next year's roguelikecel that he let me know there had been some progress on it, and he even intended to release a version of it before the event started

Thomas started working on the game at his hotel, after the event, just trying to see how much of his idea of a game carrying the "simplicity and purity" of these games could be done on it for 7 days. I was probably trying to convince him to do a 7DRL here.

Grog was born in 2018, Thomas was inspired to create it while playing rogue and some other very traditional roguelikes during the @roguelike_con in San Francisco. We were using real terminals connecting to a PDP-11. He fell in love with the charming simplicity of these games.

Here's the first-ever recorded gameplay of "Grog" the brand new traditional #roguelike by @adom_dev. This is a traditional roguelike to the bone, with some legit intense moments of despair, a rollercoaster of emotions. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=ql1qbrhy…

BTW I released a tiny hobby project: Grog - a homage to the original Rogue on a PDP-11. #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #grog roguelike.games/grog
