Roguelike of the Year Poll and Changes to Parameters

This episode discusses the annual Roguelike of the Year poll, which is a compilation of two lists: the actively developed Roguelike lists and the news on Rogue Basin. The host mentions that last year's poll did not include certain notable games, such as Dungeons of Dreadmoor and Binding of Isaac, so additional criteria were added to include them. This year, the host has taken a further step by compiling a list of Roguelikes released in 2012 from various sources. The aim is to encourage discussion and exploration of interesting games, regardless of whether they fit the strict definition of a Roguelike.
