Pretty sure it's something I'm just going to have to deal with until/unless the dev codes in the ability to adjust the window size/resolution. For now I can just move my task bar to a vertical position on the side of the screen. The bottom of my monitor is now only cutting off a few pixels this way.

I just checked 3 installs that used the Unity Launcher and for each of them there's a file in there called ScreenSelector.png. You can delete this with no repercussions and it'll fix the problem.

Highblood posted:So I guess I should play Elona+ now, any tips? Play on overdose if you want to use spells or don't want to do much grinding in the first chapter. If you plan on going into melee you should really consider using a golem because they're still the only way to get dim resistance, dim being a progressively worsening confusion-like status that's basically inevitable in melee. Traveling has been nerfed but it's still a great way to keep lesser used skills up. Pick up a skill that can earn you money, like gardening or performer. Performer is especially important in South Tyris, where there's a vendor who sells artifacts and RARE consumables for music tickets you get from performer quests. There's a free horn laying on the ground in the graveyard near Lumiest if you need an instrument. Sometimes bards generate with the <Stradivarius> and will drop it if killed. No one cares about the murder of any npc that doesn't have a chat screen. Pickpocket can also make a lot of money but you'll need to read so guide to really get anything out of it. Get a pair of seven league boots asap. Seriously consider savescumming a wish out of a well to accomplish the former as soon as you enter a town. Now that you have those you can take delivery and escort quests to Noyel and Lumiest for much better cash than you'd otherwise get from questing. You must be wearing them to get the bonus but pets still get the unlisted speed bonus. Go to the Truce Ground north of Palmia and pick a god as soon as you can. If you can't make up your mind just pick Kumiromi for the stamina regen, since you can't get that elsewhere. Piety is capped by your current faith skill. You get gifts at 15 (a unique pet, several of which have unique and powerful abilities), 25 (a "secret treasure" that gives a god specific feat or a "gemstone" that gives you some stuff every few days when used), and 40 (a unique weapon).

Dairy Power posted:I bought Renowned Explorers a couple of days ago, too. Overall, I love the poo poo out of it. I beat it with >3k renown on my third try using Kwame, Pedrinho, and Agatha. The amount of healing and AoE and overall resilience was just so good. All of those characters also cracked me up. Agatha's group lectures and Kwame's buffing teleport dance and Pedrinho's jumping bongo drum friendship nuke were just too great. I did two 3 star missions before attempting a 4 star that time, and it really helped my ability to not get owned by the bosses. Some of those boss fights just feel plain unfair initially. It seems like being friendly is almost necessary for both of the 3 star bosses (Nun + Sakhmet). It also seems like healing + high resilience is much more important than firepower, but maybe that's just true for lower gold runs? Starting the nun fight friendly and then having high-offense characters hogpile the abbess will end things quickly, but if any of your explorers have religious or moralistic personalities they can get a persistent Guilt debuff from it. Sekhmet can also benefit from the friendly-into-aggressive backstab, and doesn't have any disadvantage to doing this I know of. I tend to do best with a high-offense team that also has some healing (Emilia is a champ for this; she's sturdy and gets an AoE heal early) but I feel like it's very important to learn how to take advantage of shifting party moods, possibly moreso than individual emotion buffs.

scuzzy pumper posted:For the easiest start go Noldor, any house. Stats are 4-3-3-3 or 3-4-4-3. Use your starting XP to bump up melee and evasion the same. You'll need to keep these more or less topped up the whole game. The next most important skills are stealth and perception. The abilities you want are first crowdfighting (evasion) then exchange places (stealth). Exchange places will save your rear end when you need to flee from something that can kill you. Then you can start to work on lore-keeper and lore-master (perception). Keep all unidentified items, when you get loremaster you'll get a bump in XP. Focus on melee and evasion and combat abilities after that, no more than one or two smith abilities and songs, these are harder to get a good return from your XP on. Thanks for this!

Sorry it's giving you a bit of trouble.720 vertically is the smallest Demon supports at the moment, resolution wise. If running in windowed mode isn't a requirement, once you're in the dungeon itself (not character creation), you can press F11 to switch into full screen mode, which should then fit on your monitor.

FerretDev posted:Thanks for trying Demon out. I will give that a shot tonight! Thanks. MadJack, I don't have the URL but throw Demon Roguelike in google and the page for it is one of the first options. He doesn't appear to be running a closed beta (which is awesome, BTW Ferret). In regards to what I've so far, I'm digging it. It's very SMT with the numbers filed off, and also as others have said I'm getting the Nocturne vibe from learning abilities from Demons. I'm really digging the originality with the Tower, and your abilities being partially based on your artifact, but mostly on what abilities you choose after, of which holy crap that's a lot of options. Out of curiosity, do we gather more artifacts as we go, or is it all Poke'Demon?

So how many roguelike devs aren't on SA  Are we the coolest RL hangout or what Speaking of RL development, where would a retard with no previous experience in game dev start? It's always been a small interest of mine to gently caress around making a roguelike but the task seems rather daunting to me. I know the C language (not how to use it mind you) and that's pretty much it. Do people even still use C or am I lost in the 80s?

I'm pretty sure the DoomRL dev Kornel doesn't post here, and I suspect we don't have the ADOM dev either. But yeah, we've got Crawl and (I think) Nethack contributors, Unormal and Hand of Luke for Sproggi and CoQ, Madjack for Dungeonmans, Ferret for Demon, and the Dev for the robot one (I forget both your name and the name of your game. The shame.). I'm sure I missed several.

madjackmcmad posted:I want to play Demon! Well go get it. http://demon.ferretdev.org/RickVoid posted:I will give that a shot tonight! Thanks. No problem! Demon's only mid/late-alpha at the moment, not beta, but it'll never be closed or require $ to play. (For my projects, finished alpha = all systems complete, finished beta = all main content complete, so I'm basically saying that many but not all of the systems are in, and definitely nowhere near all the content.) I'm glad you like what you've seen so far. At least for now, all the main characters are summoners. There will probably be more variance in the exact mechanics they use as development continues, but I admit that's more than a little down the road at the moment. As for non-summoner main characters... I'm not shutting the door on it entirely, but given how much of Demon revolves around summoning and the related mechanics, I don't know if those could be made to fit well.

Is there a good Elona+ LP or something floating around the internet somewhere? I've messed around with it a little and it's good fun, but there's so much to keep track of, and just reading the advice from a few posts up made my eyes glaze over a little. It's a lot easier for me to pick up a game like that when I can watch/read somebody who knows what they're doing play it first.

andrew smash posted:What sort of content are you hoping to put in? I have played demon a few times and every time i load it up i can't help but think it would benefit a ton from some flavor, even if you just rip nocturne off wholesale. I'm not planning on going as far as ripping off SMT, but I'll definitely be borrowing heavily from it. "Sci-fi with demons/mythology" is pretty interesting to me as a sub-genre, and that will definitely be reflected in the content as things progress. You can expect to see content flavor develop on two fronts: 1) Exploration of the very high technology level powering the Tower and the summoning relics. (This is already under way with the recent addition of the new side-dungeon, the Anomaly, that appears on Tower:5 or Tower:6 in builds dated on or later than 1/1/2016.) 2) Visiting all sorts of mythological places, the more obscure and less trodden the better. Time and location are no restrictions here: the Tower is capable of opening portals to pretty much anywhere and anywhen (probably how it ended up with all those disparate demons inside it to begin with), so pretty much anything I would want is on the table. I'm only just now finally getting around to adding new settings, so unfortunately, there aren't many *currently* in yet, but these are the directions I plan on heading with things as I go forward.

Because someone probably has an ancient CRT lying around, right? It's actually a crisp look, but you might have to click here to see that. In more serious endeavors, I'm currently investigating the feasibility of offering a reduced-information-for-bigger-font mode for those on laptops, but no guarantees. About roguelike dev, the libtcod-python tutorial is the best way to get something off the ground. Other pretty good tutorials in different languages (though still not as in-depth as libtcod): Roguesharp (C#) rot.js (Javascript) HTML5

Highblood posted:So how many roguelike devs aren't on SA Word of advice about libtcod is that it only supports Python 2.7, and not 3.4/5, which was a deal-breaker for me (mostly because I can't be bothered to figure out which Python 3 features aren't supported in 2.7...though I've had some of the same problems with Unity not supporting tuples  ).

For the new OP, it might be cool to have a little section on developing them. Put in these links people are linking, etc. I started doing the libtcod tutorial C++ version, it seems pretty cool. Covers a lot of important Programming Concepts in the process, like how inheritance and pointers work. Highly recommended.

I find it very, very amusing that so many people (myself included) decide that rogue-likes are a great place to jump into game development, when they are in fact one of the most challenging things to actually get right, both technically and design-wise, ever. Don't let this stop you from jumping in, but don't feel discouraged if you don't get it right the first time.
