Having finally played around with Orion Trail, actually, it really feels like it should have a mobile release.

As long as you reference the right sort of things we're cool. Otherwise you're on the wrong side of plagiarism, buddy.

Zaphod42 posted:I meant the obvious derail debate about whether tracing is art or stealing, which was kinda starting up. Honestly the plagiarism/homage thing is way less important than the "never producing anything other than a few tracings" side of things I mean no one has ever posted a low effort KS they were part of in this thread and had the project bust with nothing to show for it, right? e: and if they did it wouldnt be worth talking about

So I grabbed Darkest Dungeon as soon as it went live on Steam and I've been loving the hell out of it, even happier to see its topped the Steam sales charts for the past few days. Have they said anything about an iPad port or anything the like after Early Access is over? It seems like it'd work amazingly on a tablet.

From what I remember, it's not going to be available for Ipad, but you're right in that it would work pretty well on it. You can do basically everything with the mouse already.

When making the prototype we were trying to keep tablet in mind as we designed the ui / interactions, but ended up sticking with PC. iPad & android are definitely platforms we want to get on, but it all comes down to priority and budget

Neptune, Have Mercy, a procedurally generated 2D shooter where you explore an alien sea. I think it looks pretty neat, especially the art style and music.

The kickstarter for STRAFE looks like it's gonna fall well short of their goal, which makes me sad because it looked like the first FPS """roguelike""" that I would be interested in.

Their ask was a bit high unfortunately. It is weird how all the best kickstarters I've seen (bar Hyper Light Drifter) never really explode like some others I've seen. STRAFE was one of the few they did the video thing right (should just be a trailer/commercial no talking about who you are or what inspired you or whatever).

(I didn't though) That trailer made me go "Wow, I do not care about this game in the slightest but if the guy who made that trailer decides to Kickstart a movie similar to The WNUF Halloween Special, I would back the gently caress out of it". That game looked quite generic and boring to me. AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Feb 8, 2015 |

Yeah that was a well-made video, but the game itself does not look good at all so he might have the wrong priorities there.

On the same note I wish they'd do some work on the engine to kick down the system requirements. While looks great artistically, I really don't get why they went with an OpenGL 3.2. minimum. It's a perfect netbook/laptop game, but you're hosed if you have a non-gaming laptop with an older integrated card despite it having relatively simple 2D graphics and no reflex sensitive gameplay.

You want to know the worst part? They patched that in just after the release to open early access. I got one whole weekend to play it and then HAHA NOPE. I also don't see why they did it; it worked flawlessly for the 6 or so hours I spent in-game.

If it ran fine for you before, you can make the game skip checking for OpenGL 3.2 with the "-skip_opengl_check" tag.

Does it work if you disable the OpenGL check? There's a fixes thread on the steam forum that suggests this:quote:Disabling OpenGL 3.2 compatibility check

STRAFE looked to me like it was suited to all sorts of cool and weird weapons which made their choice for you to have only 1 permanent weapon, which you chose from 3 very vanilla options, very confusing to me.

There's something really disorienting about watching the gameplay. I don't know what it is exactly but the way the camera jerks around and the way the weapon sways and is position just feels really off.

Tower of Guns is a bit boring because its slow as poo poo and you only get one gun ever, Ziggurat is much faster and you get various guns but I guess if you think Serious Sam is boring then it's boring

Ziggurat is good but I do wish that level ups were a bit less random for characters and that there was a tad more variety overall.

Don't forget that there was recently a zombie themed "Organ Trail" which is even closer, and they managed to squeak by. Also Oregon Trail is a pretty old IP and all of this should really count as fair use and parody / whatever. But I can understand your apprehension because indies can't afford a big legal battle  Yodzilla posted:WHOA WHAT THE gently caress?? I know what I'm buying next. Never heard of Strife before? It is pretty obscure. Its pretty much literally Deus Ex in the Doom engine, before anybody knew what Deus Ex was or how cool it would be. Waaaay ahead of its time.

I got the good ending though, the other ones are dark as hell.
