After 17 years of work on D&D-inspired roguelike Caves of Qud, co-creator says “I personally have lost my mind and started posting about my dark desires to drop off the grid”

Hot new roguelike on the block Caves of Qud has finally hit 1.0 after 17 years of effort, so the team is taking a break for a few months to rest – and because a co-creator “lost” their mind and started posting about their “dark desires to drop off the grid.” All round, a needed rest for the gang, then.

To celebrate Caves of Qud’s release, the team held a question-and-answer session where a fan simply asked how much of a break the team is taking as getting here has nearly taken two decades. An answer they certainly got.
