Very interesting, thanks. I kind of got stuck on Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, which used to have a food clock until a few versions ago, now it’s just no respawns. They also scale XP amounts up for higher levels, so when there are more low-level enemies around than needed, they won’t give you a ton of extra XP.
I’ve played around with Angband and ToME a few years ago, and I tried to like Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead multiple times, but yeah, I feel like that’s probably the reason then why they never clicked for me quite like DCSS. I am absolutely the worst for optimizing the fun out of games, if given the opportunity.
