Apparently there's a free version of KeeperRL which is exactly the same except it only has ASCII graphics and no music. In other news, holy crap Crawl 0.15 kicks rear end! No more item destruction, permanent corrosion and item weight. Also since last time I played there's a ton of super cool spells and many monsters have gotten unique abilities. Amnesia scrolls are rare but you can destroy spellbooks to forget a spell that is contained in it. Elemental utility items are also really sweet. You can use them as many times as you want, but they need you to kill a bunch of dudes before you can use them again. And, as usually, the level generators are cranking out even more varied levels than before. The good part is summoning a spellforged servitor and suddenly you have a cool ally dude casting crystal spears and whatever else wicked spells you've got every turn without any mana costs. Obligatory dick-waving:    A+++ would play again.

It would be great if I could make Dungeonmans without having to worry about selling it, but I don't have that kind of money. If I can move enough copies of dmans, I get to keep making cool stuff. If not, I might end up jumping back into AAA and make cool stuff for someone else.

Hi folks, I've played the hell out of Unreal World RPG and Neo Scavenger, are there any other RL games like the two mentioned that you are enjoying? I'd really like to get into another survival sim.

The whip weapons or whatever they are that hit random squares with elemental damage seemed super bad to me and I stuck with consistent weapons over them if I could. Also armor of the mongoose or whatever it is that randomly teleports you felt like it caused more trouble than it solved. Basically I've used ice weapons and the lightning armor that deafens me whenever it procs the most. The exception is with vampires where I use a lifesteal weapon because it makes them capable of hilarious no effort drain tanking if you also put two points into the AoE lifesteal, which I loved doing.

Hi thread! felt like swinging by here and reminding you all that Eldritch exists and more people should play it. Seriously, its a great game. Did a stream of it the other week and i dumped them on the 'tube if the unbelivers want to give it a chance: Starts at 3 minutes if you want to skip the intro music. Wont lie, the videos are  on my part but i want more goons to have a chance for this game because its  Also the Eldritch 101 video is loving perfect.  Punch a penguin!Edit: And as for my part, is there any recommendations of where to go next from here? Because i've had my fun with Eldritch and want something similar/new.

Steam Marines finally hit v1.0 today---easily recommended for the dev's consistent persistence to polish and fix things up while it was in Alpha/Beta and because I'm pretty sure everybody hasn't cursed, in a good/hearty way, at their PC's enough today: http://www.steammarines.com/ Also, some good transparency on what all has went into his wild ride in developing it these past few years: http://www.worthlessbums.com/blog/

Jack Trades posted:Now, does anyone have any tips for surviving longer than a dozen turns? Start with the Wilderness skills and you can make fire at any forest hex, which will allow you to boil water at any hex, which will stave off a lot of your early problems. Use the lab you start in as a shelter, even if you don't have the right skills to upgrade it.

Also, starting with Strong or Melee lets you kill the dogman at the start, while starting with both lets you destroy it without a scratch (warning: attempting to repeat this in non-scripted dogman battles may end badly for you). If you have the Trapping skill, you can use it, a glass shard, and the dogman's corpse to make yourself a warm, stylish, monstrously badass coat to walk around in. This helps greatly with early temperature problems. Trapping also lets you catch squirrels, cook them up, and make gloves and a coat out of them so you can be the Hobo King of the wasteland. Trapping is pretty goddamn good for survival in general. Starting with Medic lets you get a medkit in the cryo facility (fairly handy), lets you diagnose your exact medical problems (quite handy), and makes you aware of the nature and value of drugs you find (surprisingly handy since selling drugs at the junk market is quite lucrative). It's not a critical skill, but if you have room for it, it's not a bad choice. Athletic is very good since it helps you run away from poo poo, and lets you move further on the world map. Tough is better than you might think; in addition to making you a bit more resistant to pain and injury, it occasionally lets you headbutt opponents in combat, which is deceptively strong (I managed to headbutt a guy in the chest so hard that he immediately died, once). My favourite starting build is good for figuring out the game, surviving for a long time, and committing lots of murder. I have taken to affectionately calling it the Ogre build. Here is how to make your own Ogre: 1. Take Strong, Tough, Melee, and Athletics. Grab the Insomnia drawback - I normally take Myopia but fixing it takes a long loving time and in the meantime it's a pretty big drawback, so just take Insomnia (which is sometimes quite annoying but rarely a big problem) instead. Using the extra slot you've opened up, take the Trapping skill. 2. Kill the poo poo out of that dogman with Strong and Melee. Finish the starting dialogue screen. 3. Go into the crafting menu and use Trapping, a glass shard, and the dogman corpse to make a sicknasty coat. 4. Put on the coat. Pick up the videotape and some glass shards. 5. Go scrounge for stuff in the nearest ruins. Make sure to grab some rags and some kind of container for your stuff. If you find a lighter, keep it on you forever. Same goes for a multitool. You also want to keep an eye out for a saucepan; that's your water purifier. Hoard at least three empty bottles to put boiled water in. 6. Go to the forest and grab a large branch. Combine it, your Melee skill, a couple of glass shards, and some rags to make a broad spear. You now have the best spear in the game. 7. Make fire. Boil water. Cook meat using fire and a large branch. Hunt. Raid. Scavenge. Headbutt things. Be a crude and violent Ogre. You can, in fact, eat people, but be aware that it will have Consequences that you might not like. Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Sep 24, 2014 |

Good to see Kerberos continuing to support the Pit with substantial new content after all this time, but I can't help but give a chuckle that only now, several massive DLCs in, have they got around to some ammo conversion recipes and whatnot considering folks have been chomping at the bit for that since the game first came out.

Could have been components to build armor, maybe? Is this still an issue?

I don't know if Desktop Dungeons is on-topic in this thread (it's not technically roguelike), but that game unlocks content at a regular enough clip that I'm pretty hooked. It's kicking my rear end, though; maybe I'm stupid, but it seems like you have to play it more like chess than like Nethack. The Shifting Passages level is currently murdering me; I just had the last boss there down to 2 hp and no recourse but surrender. This is the same mechanic I love in TOME; unlocking new skill trees and classes is such a gratifying experience that I think it ought to be on every developer's radar. It also serves double-duty as a tutorial, by making the simplest character (typically fighter) open at the start, and unlocking the more complex characters as you go. TOME is kind of an embarrassment of riches in that respect, though, because the different classes play so little like each other.

Mariposa posted:It's kicking my rear end, though; maybe I'm stupid, but it seems like you have to play it more like chess than like Nethack. This is exactly true. Desktop Dungeons is all about maximizing the xp you gain, while minimizing the amount of map you reveal and the amount of resources you spend, usually while also capitalizing on your abilities as much as possible. All the information's known, so it's more of a logic puzzle than a true roguelike. Still owns, though.

Any advice on Automagic Teleport Machine (which requires you to beat Shifting Passages with anything you like, with Unstoppable)? The closest I've gotten is with a goblin assassin. The changelings there respond to your class; from the wiki: quote:Fighter - 1 death protection I'm currently trying a halfling assassin with the viper ward, but I don't think it's going to work either. If I could kill both bosses, I could worship Dracul to get to level 10 and mop up. Edit: The halfling assassin made it, barely, by converting almost all of his items for health potions to kill the last level 9 monster.
