Serephina posted:I thought the game was brilliant. But for some reason I can't push myself to start another run after my win - it just seems like so much effort. Same with Renown Explorers. FTL, otoh, I have banked hundreds of hours. I'm not sure why there's a difference =/ Invisible Inc is pretty slow compared to those.

Sounds good. I just got my Father's Day sushi lunch torpedoed by my 2 year old daughter and feasted on last night's taco salad instead, which I don't really mind, but is all the excuse I need to get Invisible Inc out of my wishlist and onto my hard drive. I hope its one of those games that keeps unfolding, y'know?

Poison Mushroom posted:After tooling around and toying a whole bunch, Godsrune just had another major evolution. It is now, among other things, a Tactical Zelda-Inspired Roguelike. Combat takes place in fairly compact spaces, where facing matters and every enemy has a consistent pattern and gimmick. It's very interesting to read about your ideas for making this a consumable-heavy game, considering that after you posted that we learned that the new Zelda is going to rely heavily on quickly consumed weapons.

If you want to play a tense stealth game with cyberpunk flavor then yes. Only turn based game that I found myself playing at 4am that made me literally sweat as I was calculating my next move. Very good ost.

If you, for some reason, hate our outrageously good ASCIIish-stylin', Creator of the popular C:DDA tileset is making a crazy mod tileset for Qud. http://steamcommunity.com/app/333640/discussions/0/358415206093329635/

Is there a Hoplite forum anywhere? I've gotten on a Hoplite kick- I can pretty reliably win but don't feel like I'm really being super-strategic with builds, and usually can't do more than another level or two past 16 if I try. Lately I've been trying to get the "no damage" achievement. Closest I got was killing everything on DL15, but last demon was on a 1 tile Island. I killed it by throwing my spear, then realized you can't descend without your spear in hand. I jumped onto the island to retrieve it, and realized I only had 49 energy left and couldn't jump back off...  Anyway, would be interested to read a little about builds and how to use them.

Eh, the Chesthole tileset was great in C:DDA because that's mostly stuff that if you glance at it is immediately readable because most of the equipment in that is stuff from day to day life. Qud is a bit more grimly fantastical so I always thought it looked better as it was.

there were some comments about how it looks a little lifeless compared to what people thought of qud in their heads, and so the maker changed the brown of the ground in joppa to a more blue-ish color it's sorta better but i'm still not a huge fan of the tileset

Yeah, I have to say, as someone who uses tilesets in every roguelike they've ever played and likes a ToME-style presentation, I weirdly prefer Qud being mostly left to the imagination.

I've been plugging away at a "new" roguelike prototype these last few weeks. (It's actually based on an old, old project of mine.) Brainstorming world generation now. I want to give the world a bit more of an organic feel than Deathstate. Anybody have some hot tips on any algorithms that I just have to look at?

superh posted:I've been plugging away at a "new" roguelike prototype these last few weeks. Perlin Noise? The usual trick is to do some basic climatology stuff, like have a perlin map for elevation, some kind of crude model for rain shadows, etc. Even on Mars, the basic physics of atmosphere and water won't have changed much. (I should try to maul out that Gunslinger Hoplite thing I was chewing on a while ago, before it gets any staler in my brain)

drink_bleach posted:So with no game development experience whatsoever I decided I'd take an eight hour work day and try to write as much of a roguelike as I could. Kinda neat how many resources were out there to get started, downloaded a free sprite set, used a dungeon generation library from github then threw the whole thing inside Phaser then threw that inside Electron. superh posted:I've been plugging away at a "new" roguelike prototype these last few weeks.

LordSaturn posted:Perlin Noise? This is where I kinda landed last night. Going to do a few passes - one for basic world geometry, one (at least) for "biomes" within the geometry, and maybe more passes for vegetation and garbage like that. Then drill over it to add parts with some "man made" feel.

Soul crushing programming for life brother. I have what is basically the opposite problem. I keep telling myself I'm going to expand my (fairly rudimentary) programming knowledge from college by working towards making a simple roguelike, because I find it easier to learn if I'm actually working towards a goal rather than just following a lesson. Then I get home from work at midnight and have no energy to do anything intellectually constructive. I would love to make a simple little Wuxia styled roguelike. One of these days!

Soul crushing programming for life brother. I think I'm at 12 years of game dev programming, and 15 of coding for a living. The last four were indie though, and 2015 was actually 50% convalescing from a total life implosion so that took some heat off the Burnout Meter. But I love coding, as much as I love the things I do for fun. I'm very fortunate in that regard and I will never take it for granted.

I have a few game ideas but programming annoys me to no end. Not the actual programming, but the debugging of it. Did a couple classes back in my High School days and I ran into the problem of 'one day to program something, one week to debug it so it actually works 100% the way it's supposed to.' ... Then again that was really basic stuff and I wasn't allowed to use handy debug tools (unless I wrote them myself.)

Yep, can confirm. I think of programming as being like a science: 1. This poo poo don't work. 2. Why doesn't it work? Let's make a hypothesis. 3. Test hypothesis. 4. Discover hypothesis is wrong 5. Come up with new hypothesis. 6. Goto 3. 7. Discover valid hypothesis. 8. Fix bug. See? Computer programming is 8/9ths identical to science!
