ToxicFrog posted:That's almost certainly what happened, then. Some kind of visual indicator that there's an enemy above/below you on the stairs would be nice. It might just be the state of the numlock key, it's actually currently sensitive to whether or not it's currently pressed. (Which is a legacy CoQ issue I'd like to fix.) e: So it sounds like you've played a pretty decent amount and it sort of seems to work at a gross-anatomy level, with a bunch of dirty little corner cases bugs? Am I reading that right? Can anyone else say "Yeah I've played a decent amount and it more or less seems to work ok!"? Unormal fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Dec 16, 2014 |

That's mostly a fair assessment, I think, although I'm not sure going to Red Rock and dying a bunch of times counts as playing it "a decent amount". Some of the bugs are pretty annoying (keybindings, the screen getting stuck and requiring a complete game restart) or fatal (writing saves it can't subsequently load), but it's playable and nothing seems totally broken.

Yeah, bugs like that I'm totally prepared for as long as there's not really gross problems with gameplay/etc resulting from Unity, but it seems like there's not. Fixing bugs, I can do  Going to redrock and dying a bunch is like 90% of the gameplay

Is there even anything to do besides wander around like the aimless murderhobo you are once you get past Golgotha?

I love the style of this bear game but I just can't get into how everything does contact damage to you and is immune to enemy projectiles and traps. I can get to depth 3 if I'm lucky but every time I just get bumped by a knight and take damage I want to pull my hair out. Even the other enemy bears do contact damage.

Okay, maybe I'm just really poo poo at it, but I tried Bear Hero and it was just awful. The controls felt clunky and I always felt like there was a delay between me pressing a button and the action actually being performed. I tried playing it several times, and I always end up dead because something always manages to hit me before I hit it, at which point I can't attack and I just get hit again and die.

brother-joseph posted:This looks very interesting. Has anyone played this or Zafehouse Diaries? I had never heard of either one today which makes me too nervous to impulse buy either one. Probably a bit late with this reply, but Deadnauts is very interesting. You can either take a random team or make your own. A campaign consists of clearing 4 ships - as long as one dude survives and gets out you'll be able to clone some of the rest. So far the best I've managed is clearing one ship, then got cocky on the next one and had a TPK due to an unstable room. It's real time and you're watching and directing the action through a industrial looking control panel, which often has a flaky data feed due to the interferance from the security of the ship you're trying to pillage.

Recent happenings in the at least semi-commercial Roguelike world: -KeeperRL hits a nicely meaty Alpha #12, seemingly putting it within spitting distance of Beta Status! http://keeperrl.com/ -Vagante hits Early Access as part of that surge of projects influenced by Spelunky but aiming to go deeper/differently: http://store.steampowered.com//app/323220?beta=0 -Somehow, Shrapnel Games....yes, that same one that any Dominions player will be perhaps cringingly familiar with, ended up becoming the publisher for the Kickstarted space-themed Roguelike Approaching Infinity---Shrapnel's Premium Price and other less than palatable traditional ways still fully intact: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Ibology/AI/AI_page.html I really have to wonder how that whole thing went down...hopefully the dev can at least eventually get on elsewhere like Illwinter did as the world has largely moved beyond the likes of Shrapnel and Matrix.

I'm going to be honest - I tried the demo and couldn't figure out how to do anything. I started in a room with two icons - one that said Investigate and then one Unlock in front of a door. After about a minute I gave up since I couldn't get how the hell I was supposed to have my team interact with those. Am I a gigantic idiot or is this not very intuitive?

You right click to move your guys, left click to interact with stuff, however it can be a bit fiddly, and due to interferance or just being a jerk, your guys don't always listen  Worth reading the manual to find out how to use shields etc.

Do you mean the technical demo? Because I don't see any demos on Steam, and btw they removed the links to the tech demo for being way out of date so that may also be your problem.

I like when devs stick to their guns on price (Shovel Knight), but uh..... that kind of depends on having a reasonable price in the first place. And even then isn't an option without a ton of up front publicity. This is nuts. Very strange decision.

I really don't see myself spending $40 on it though. poo poo, I just paid $40 for CK2 and almost every piece of its DLC. They did the same thing with Bronze which is a neat tile based board game that no one played (because it's $40).
