I've stumbled onto a solution of sorts for the iPad issue a lot if us were having with button presses in Calculords. Apparently, a button press is registered upon removing your finger from the screen, so if you press a number and then briskly and cleanly remove your finger, the button should work. This seems to "unstick" the buttons for the rest of the match. Still something that should be addressed in an eventual update, but at least I can play now on my iPad. Hope this helps others! tonytheshoes fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Mar 4, 2014 |

My game Cloud Breaker is out now. http://asivitz.com/cloudbreaker/ I want it to be a competitive puzzle game with a lot of depth and a long learning curve. If you guys have ideas on how I can improve it, I'd love to hear them.

I really enjoyed Calculords and card city nights. The whole earning new cards and building decks thing was really fun. What should I try that's similar?

Adventure Time Card Wars just came out too. It's kind of fun but I have a hard time recommending it due to the IAP crap for getting any worthwhile new cards. The currency isn't too tough to earn at a reasonable rate early on, but you definitely hit a wall. What is especially frustrating is that you also start with the ability to only keep 50 cards total, which can be expanded by 5 for every 1 IAP currency. Given that there are 5 different "factions", that in order to win the IAP currency often requires mono-color decks and that decks must be at minimum 10 cards but you realistically need more, that 50-card limit is a bitch.

The Might & Magic CCG is pretty fun, and there's a helpful thread. You don't earn cards through battle, but the currency to buy them isn't hard to get, and the premium currency is available in game at what seems like a reasonable rate.

Uuugh, why am I so bad at Out There? I have a tendency to want to visit every system, and that means I tend to slowly run out of either iron or fuel, even though I am digging/probing at 7 or 8 once on each planet I visit. I had a quasi-decent run last night where I finally managed to find some new ships, but they didn't have all that many spare slots and it only delayed the inevitable "You screwed up by visiting all four garden planets in this system and ran out of fuel!" stage. Plus I am terrible at managing my inventory of spare elements; I can't ever decide when I should leave something like Carbon behind.

I have a tendency to want to visit every system, and that means I tend to slowly run out of either iron or fuel, even though I am digging/probing at 7 or 8 once on each planet I visit. You should visit every planet your supplies allow with the exception of garden planets. Garden planets serve two purposes: 1) provide instant oxygen refill and 2) provide Oxygen supplies/supplies of crafting elements. Talking with the natives is fun but you'll need to chat up four or five to really get any handle on alien language to not just guess at answers all the time. You can say hello if you're there, just don't feel like you have to visit every time. Drilling on these planets is also a waste of resources unless you need to refill your spare supply of Oxygen -OR- you need gold/copper/carbon for some tech. It's not worth carrying around these once you've crafted your tech either. If the tech breaks at some future point, then go find some of what you need to do repairs. Your cargo space will be needed for Fuel, Oxygen, and iron more than anything else. General Out There tips: -Always have 20 Iron, 20 Oxygen, and however much fuel you can carry. A spare open space for random encounters/rewards would be a good bet too. Everything else should be carried on a need-only basis. -Always drill/probe as deep as you can so long as you've got iron in stock. A drill only takes 4 iron to rebuild completely and a probe will always give you back platinum so all you need is still just iron. -Always build tech that enables lower energy usage. And always build tech that increases your jump distance. (or take a ship that allows for these) These upgrades are a must for the endgame. -Try to build a tech that either decreases damage taken (shields) or oxygen use. Only having to worry about one resource is key to going deep in the game. Having both is also a plus but not as big as at least having one or the other. -All other techs are optional and only have really narrow use cases. Unless you are going for an achievement, it's best to ignore these if you've got the above techs installed.

I disagree with carrying oxygen around. Garden planets seem plentiful enough that you don't really need to worry about it. I've only lost due to running out of oxygen once, as opposed to the dozen or so times I've run out of fuel.

I've found the opposite, really. Once you're travelling farther per hop, you encounter less star systems and lessen your chance of finding garden planets (while using more oxygen). But I can see why you would drop Oxygen though.

How do you get techs if you're not visiting Garden planets? I know I randomly get modules on the new ships I take over, but I am really unclear on the requirements for unlocking new techs.

You can get new techs a few different ways: 1) Random encounters on entering a system that may or may not include a choice. (The space whale says choose left or right, congrats you now have shields) 2) Metallic planets have a random chance to have an abandoned tech on the surface. If you're always replenishing your iron supply, you'll encounter a few of these. (you found a long crashed ship with neat stuff!) 3) Free tech from spaceships you encounter randomly in systems. These do come with the downside that if it breaks, you'll be unable to fix it (I think). 4) The aforementioned gift from inhabited worlds. I feel like this game should have a mode where it remembers alien languages between plays and allows you to disassemble tech to learn it. Those two would be my biggest beef with it right now.

Vice Zoomler Aestro posted:Yeah, count me in with the others that really want to like Out There more than I do. Really wish that, at minimum, there were an option to start out with one of the other ships after you've found it. Or just anything that carried over. My problem with Out There is that it feels like the game is missing. I love choose your own adventure style decisions as a mechanic, but it's extremely hard to build a whole game around them without some fairly complex systems going on behind the scenes. King of Dragon Pass isn't just a CYOA engine, it's a competent lite 4X where your decisions in each half of the game affect the other half. FTL doesn't just have random events at each star, it has a solid ship management combat game and resource management meta game. Out There just doesn't have... anything, really. It's some random decisions and very, very light resource management and that's it.

Just finished the main story in [b]Card City Nights[b] - what a fantastic game. Totally nails that Triple Triad feeling - someone mentioned Sword & Poker and I can see the comparison there as well. I used a 25-card 100% attack deck which as I went along developed mostly around fast attack combos and Mama & Son DX as my legendary of choice. Most matches were pretty quick and you could just go straight for someones face and win within 6-7 turns. I think the only opponent I had to really focus on disabling was the Bouncer's massive amounts of defensive cards. Took two tries on the next to last guy but I was able beat the last boss 3-1 in my first attempt. A+, would play again.

Wish there was a card list somewhere though. I went the opposite direction and made a deck that was entirely based on disabling cards. It worked great on everything except the firey woman who slaughtered me immediately. I made a turtle deck for her. I usually stuck Iosa in the bottom left, Mama and Son DX in the middle right, and just kept sticking the incredibly ugly statue in between them. Pretty effective and I could switch it to an attacking strategy fairly quickly if I had to.

I have been paying a lot of Warhammer Quest, so much that I have done what I swore I would never do.. drop money for IAP in a paid game. So far I purchased the Warrior Priest for his jade ring and the dlc staff for the wizard. My question is, should I buy some of the monster packs on my first play through? I have my eye on the Vampires and Zombies pack but I am not clear what that brings to the game. Do these new monsters just start randomly showing up? If so, do they start dropping different loot that I would not normally have access to? I guess I am asking should I play with the vanilla monsters on my first play through and then play again with the added monsters.

I was digging Card City Nights at first, but playing against the Stoneface guy makes me hope that the packs that he offers have few good cards and that there aren't too many "stalling" enemies, because the only alternative seems to be to turtle out, which is ultra-boring. Disabling enemies only seems worthwhile if you've already got a second attack combo ready to take out the double-health card they'll drop immediately afterwards, if you get a chance to disable it at all. Even as someone who normally digs games like this a lot and it's different enough to keep me playing, it's annoying that the 'optimal' way to go seems so boring.
