I'm looking for a sci fi rougelike, I've put a lot of time in Crawl and I like it. There is this list from Reddit: quote:PRIME (like Nethack but science fiction) Which of these are good and fleshed out? Any cool mechanics people can speak of? I don't really care the setting, hell I'll play as a Klingon stealing something from the Federation if it's a good game. I'm looking for the usual rougelike things, depth and complexity, intelligent combat with lots of options and less of the repetitive grind if possible. Some more with descriptions here.

Floodkiller posted:I haven't played Cogmind, but I do recommend CoQ. I also say that DoomRL counts as sci-fi Cogmind is extremely good (although it is like $30 in early release alpha). It's unlike almost any other game I've ever played. I really dislike item destruction but it works very well in cogmind as an interesting mechanic. I like the way that brogue looks, but I think that cogmind's aesthetic might beat it, it's absolutely stunning.

Has anyone made a horror-esque roguelike? Like, a Call of Cthulhu, Slender Man, walk through the forest at night only to be stalked and eaten type thing? It would be interesting if you could convey a feeling of dread from an ascii character. Might need some sound cues and extra effects or something to capture the mood.

Mechanics would be more important than window dressing, honestly. You'd want to make a game where everything is stronger than you and the focus is on developing new tools to run and hide, instead of to destroy your enemies.

Full controller support and sitting on my couch with that sounds good It's rare that I poop on earnest roguelikes, but well, this is one of them. The crafting system is pure hell, and the expansions did nothing to adjust the loot pool despite adding a ton of very specific gear that dilutes it badly. Charming graphics, clean feel, awful gameplay. victrix fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Jan 27, 2016 |

Kyzrati posted:The Lovecraftian roguelike Infra Arcana does a pretty good job, though it's more about the mechanics than full immersion. I haven't played since the very early versions years ago, but even then it was doing a pretty good job... As one would expect, sanity level is an important factor in the mechanics. Just the eerie music in the background does a lot for it, and it definitely plays like a roguelike with lovecraftian themed monsters. I was thinking more an adventure in a less immediately hostile world, just something off about it, and have the bad thing slowly manifest over time. Like a haunted house, with a poltergeist that was innocent becomes more and more violent. 99% percent of the items and the stats you choose would be worthless, as your ethereal nemesis can't be hurt by them anyway. drat 7drl for having their contest on at exactly the wrong time.

Definitely consider Caves of Qud, it's not just a good sci-fi roguelike, it's one of the best pure roguelikes I've played. I haven't played these myself but if you want something couch-controllery you can also look at Cryptark which is on sale this week and Starward Rogue which just came out. I've also been told Duskers is good, but it's still in development and has a unique command-line interface that might not be everyone's cup of tea. I know you already spent money, but you can keep an eye on these for next time if they sound interesting.

There's a library called libtcod made specifically for roguelikes, and it has an impressively straightforward tutorial which I recommend. Takes you from "what the heck do I install in order to work on this kind of thing" right up to wandering through procedurally-generated corridors beating up orcs with a +1 sword. I did the C++ version (so I can't say how well it works with Python) and I know a little C++, but I would think even a complete newbie could've followed along fairly well. megane fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jan 27, 2016 |

If you're interested in the techincal process of 'mature' roguelike development, you can also look at the DCSS source repo, which lets you see the nitty-gritty of what we get up to. Not sure how interesting that'll be, but it might be what you're looking for?

This might be something I tinker with. I have a roguelike idea but my IT focus hasn't ever been on coding. Maybe I could do a thing!

Tony Montana posted:I'm looking for a sci fi rougelike, I've put a lot of time in Crawl and I like it. I'm a fanboy, but I highly recommend Cogmind. Even though it's not 100% finished, what it already has is better than most complete commercial games. A very different experience compared to most other roguelikes, and not just due to the sci fi setting. Zero grinding, a large HP pool so you will never have bullshit one-shot deaths, but you're constantly cycling through parts and adopting to what you find on the fly. Also, it does something I wish older games like ADOM and TOME would do: it has a plot (and a very rich one at that), but the plot is 100% optional. If you want to experience the story you can, but the story doesn't bleed over into the gameplay. I'll take that over rescuing the puppy in ADOM approximately 5000 times. You can literally build a flying robot that moves so fast it can whizz past enemies before they can react, and slap a plasma sword onto yourself so that you can dismember them when you do pass for good measure. It is a good game.

However Chakan posted:I'm phoneposting but basically the crafting system creates a suituation where you are destined to die and don't know it. this is also correct. But I'm the guy who likes the crafting system.  If you bought the Pit you want to grab the expansions through the latest one so 1) you get psychic powers 2) the ammo crafting recipes are unlocked. Also, play the ranger class. Also EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:Play Caves of Qud or Cogmind. Re: Infra Arcana Goffer posted:Just the eerie music in the background does a lot for it, and it definitely plays like a roguelike with lovecraftian themed monsters. Goddamn yes. The sound effect of something slamming into a door is really quite eerie. Re: Prospector I like Prospector. It is unfinished but fun for a few hours.

Helical Nightmares posted:I'm constantly in the minority because I really like The Pit. It was a huge mess at launch, but between a hojillion patches and several expansions it's a really solid game now, I'd say. Pretty much System Shock 2: The Roguelike. Not bad for a nearly-cancelled game that fell far short of its initial crowdfunding target.

When I last played Gold+ edition or whatever, all the expacs did was add more horrible item/crafting/class bloat so everything I found was like a 1% chance of being useful and/or usable. Did something about that change recently?
