Given the selection of characters that represent walls, corpses etc. I'm guessing that this game is influenced by Adom. The narrative system is pretty well done, and the font is awesome by the way :-)
Edit: The author has built other games as well http://ondras.zarovi.cz/

Have you seen this one? I have been using that and it's pretty awesome. Exports nicely too.

If you're ok with using JavaScript as a first programming language, ROT.js (http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/manual/) is a neat library for making roguelikes. It's not a framework so much as a set of utilities for simplifying tasks like rendering the display, generating maps, etc.
Some examples of small games made with it are http://ondras.github.io/star-wars/ and http://ondras.zarovi.cz/games/trw/ . I'm currently working on a silly project of my own using ROT.js: http://alex.nisnevich.com/untrusted/

Every time this topic comes up, people discuss tools they use which all seem to be nothing more than a graphical version of psql. As in, they let you see a list of tables, then see the columns of that table, run queries, etc. But none of that is actually making anything better or easier, its just a different client with the same features.
Does anyone know of a tool that has a good visual DB design interface? That is what I am missing (not just when I work with postgresql, but period). I want to be able to easily and visually see the relationships between tables, not just the tables themselves, or one table with a list of its relationships. Something like this: http://ondras.zarovi.cz/sql/demo/ but not web based and actually supporting all of postgresql?

combine it with WWW SQL Designer and you can have some fun:

these two projects should merge...

There's a pretty good Javascript-based modelling tool called wwwsqldesigner[1]. The demo installation is little hard to get to from that project page, so look here[2]. I use it for all my ER diagrams.
