Low effort post, apologies. September 24th, 2019 was the day that Noita was released as a playable Early Access game. And version 1.0 released on October 15th, 2020. For those who have never heard of it: "Noita is a magical action roguelite set in a world where every pixel is physically simulated. Fight, explore, melt, burn, freeze and evaporate your way through the procedurally generated world using spells you've created yourself." "Your own magic: Create new spells as you delve deeper into the caverns. Use your magic to crush your enemies and manipulate the world around you." Made by Nolla Games, which includes the goon Hempuli (maker of Baba Is You), as well as Olli Harjola (maker of Swapper) and Petri Purho (maker of Crayon Physics). Streamers I have watched play the preview build have all agreed: The game is awesome. Between Noita and Disco Elysium which released October 15th, 2019, (thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3899418 ) this will be a great time to play indie games.      For videos of the gameplay and physics madness, see the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/ Official website: https://noitagame.com/ IronicDongz posted:fun thing about noita: Tenebrais posted: Quick cliff notes version: Your spells can be divided into cast spells (eg spark bolt, bomb, nuke) that create objects in the world, and modifiers (eg fire trail, dualcast) that affect other spells. Your wand reads the spells you put in from left to right. If it reads a modifier, it will apply the modifier to the next spell. If that spell is a modifier it will apply both the next spell, and so on until it hits a cast spell. If the modifier is one that multi-casts, it will look ahead to get the next two/three/however many cast spells that the modifier requires. If the cast spell has a trigger or timer, it will cast the next spell without any of the modifiers that the first spell had. When you reach the end of the spell list, the wand needs time to recharge (how much time is a wand stat). If your wand is a Shuffle wand, it jumbles up all your spells each time it recharges. This is not a good thing but is usually balanced by the wand having stronger stats. Each spell takes mana; a bundle of modifiers and spells add all their mana requirements. If your wand doesn't have enough mana, it will skip to the next spell it can cast. Your wand's cast delay limits how fast you can cast your spells if they are not restricted by recharges or mana.

How Roguelite is the rogueliteness of this? Is there like a persistent town/base or is it more like you can eventually unlock stuff by clearing or whatever?

I hope that Hempuli will show up sometime to answer questions that I don't know the answers to yet. From the noitagame website: "Action roguelite: Death is permanent and always a looming threat. When you die, don’t despair, use what you’ve learned to get further on your next adventure." " Procedurally generated world: Explore a unique world every time you play. Discover new environments as you adventure deeper." I know there are Temples that act like shops between environment levels. In the temples you can craft spell combos into your wands and buy new goodies.

wow, this really reminds me of those ancient falling sands games where you could spawn different kinds of materials and just watch everything react. it's wild and really exciting to see that kinda tech in an actual video game

The physics system they have built seems like a perfect fit for the spelunky style gameplay. It has been a lot of fun watching streamers accidentally start chain reactions with fire/oil/acid and die. Ive been following this game for years now, can't wait to play it! A Sometimes Food posted:How Roguelite is the rogueliteness of this? Is there like a persistent town/base or is it more like you can eventually unlock stuff by clearing or whatever? From what I've seen, very little. I think the devs at some point said there were some things that would carry over but it pretty much looks like you start fresh every run

Noita is now released upon the world. Go get it and bring back reports of your shenanigans. It shows up as 16,99€ for me on Steam. A bargain for such a game.

This looks fantastic but how early access are we talking? I really dislike that tag Oh and on Reddit one of the devs said it’s actually probably impossible to get it to run on the Switch

From their Steam page: Why Early Access? “TLDR: Right now Noita is already really fun to play and has dozens of hours of content. Early Access allows us to get important feedback to make the game even better. Noita is a physics-based rogue-lite, and rogue-lite games generally benefit from additional content updates. The game is also being made with a custom engine (Falling Everything Engine), and even though the game is fairly stable we haven't been able to test every permutation due to the highly emergent nature of the game. For the same reason we're really excited to see how the players will exploit the game systems.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “We're currently estimating that the game would be in Early Access for about a year.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The full version will be more polished and have more content. Essentially the full version will be a more refined version; there shouldn't be any drastic changes or fundamental differences. For example, the full version might have a larger variety of enemies/items/areas.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The game is playable and is polished to a nearly-finished state up to a certain point in the game's progression. Past that point game elements are a bit less polished. A functional final boss and ending exists, but they lack polish and testing.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “Our plan is to release the Early Access version with a lower price, and we'll probably raise the price as we approach the full release.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We're looking for feedback from players so that we can fix bugs, design issues and so on. We're interested in seeing how the gameplay experience changes as players get better at the game, and adjust the game to our best capability so that the experience stays interesting for both new and more experienced players.”

I'm really enjoying what's there and happy to support developers via Early Access, but just as an example of some rough edges: When you die and restart the run, the entire game restarts. Steam notifications and all.

There's no immediately apparent unlocks or meta progression . There's a log that tracks the different spell effects and perks you've discovered but that's it as far as I can tell

Don't quote me on this but I heard that the stream build was 4 environments, the early access build should be 20? Possibly not all content is polished in later levels? I could be wrong, I am reporting hearsay.

I could be wrong, I am reporting hearsay. That's a lot of levels! If I'm cautious I can consistently make it to the ice caves in level 3 but between the having to watch out for damage from freezing vapor & how devastating the electricity demons are I usually eat it almost immediately. Also I just had a really fun run -- I picked up a "high recoil" spell modifier and wondered when the hell you'd ever use it, but then the next perk I got was Low Gravity -- combining the two let me fly all over the map REALLY fast and it felt great

yeah there's a lot of scenarios where more precise aiming would be preferable i'm sure it works just fine with a controller but you're going to be playing at a disadvantage inherently

Yeah Noita is insanely good. I've been playing the preview build for a few weeks now and while I waited for my preview to go up, I put together a small video of some of my favourite dumb poo poo in the game, including a chainsaw wand. Obviously don't watch if you want to go in 100% pure but if you want to check out the game before buying (and you absolutely should buy it), here you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB4atMvtRHQ

I think I got lucky and had a natural tunnel spawn close to the surface, but you could probably tunnel through with explosions or the big orb spell that disintegrates dirt.

Yeah I also found a way into a (different, I think?) ice biome by crossing the really big lake of lava in the east of the mines. Seems like there's more options than straight down 👀

Pretty cool so far, but difficult. It seems like everytime I die my stats are all new records even though I've been deeper or had more gold or whatever, not sure what's up with that. I've found a few cool things, including an egg outside on a high tree branch that hatched a small worm the first time I got it and a bigger worm when I did it again next game and a scroll with some words about self sacrifice being pleasing to the gods or something like that. I couldn't figure out anything to do with it.

Now that I think of it, there's at least two biomes past the mountain, because I passed one on the way to the fuckery place, and there was probably stuff there too if I went underground. So yeah, there's deffo a lot of stuff to explore sideways on every level.
