This talk is from the 2016 Roguelike Celebration: roguelike.club/event.html, re-uploaded 2021.
I will give a quick run through developing ADOM for 24 years commenting on particularly strange, enlightening, amusing and memorable events during that time. Maybe I'll even show a little bit of the source code ;-)
Thomas Biskup has been the ADOM developer and maintainer for over 20 years. Besides spending time on ADOM he is a computer scientist, founder of QuinScape GmbH, a German IT service company, published RPG designer and general nerd and geek. And between all that he even managed to finish his Ph.D. (but he only insists on being called Doctor if you annoyed him or he is annoyed of you ;-) ). He is proud to have been there at the dawn of time when the Internet as we know it nowadays evolved and notices that he's getting old when he starts mumbling about "the great olde times of yore".
