Level Design and Shaping a Roguelike Experience

It turns out this guy has a really excellent blog, and a good lead-in to it is a talk he gave on how to get started developing Roguelikes:

This talk came dangerously close to derailing my 2-week work-cation plans; if libtcod-go had actually built, I might have been in serious trouble.

By a fun coincidence, I stumbled on the r/roguelikedev subreddit this weekend and they are just today starting a "how to make a roguelike" read through. (It is a different tutorial than what you linked.)

I must say I haven't even played a traditional rogue-like and it might derail my plan as well...

Same, I just can't get into the roguelike genre but it's appealing as a side project. Also because it's quite different from my day job (data wrangling, rest apis, forms etc, yay)
