Unimpressed posted:Please to mac for money. There is no world in which porting the game to Mac is a successful investment. It would be a badge of honor though, and I do feel like I've let some people down by not having a mac/linux/toaster version. I am actively building my next projects in Unity so they'll run on anything.

Transcendence is also 50% off if you want to try your hand at a 2D spaceship roguelike that has actual inertial space combat (as opposed to FTL).

Single lines are best, that way you can funnel monsters into choke points and keep your heroes fighting together. If you need to branch, keep choke points. Watch your heroes, don't be afraid to pull them out if they're taking too much damage Place heroes on structures before advancing into a room, this will grant you bonus resources based on some stat they have. Powering rooms is vital, it is what keeps enemy spawns down.

You can also put a hero in an unpowered room to suspend spawns there. It's a neat little trick for the later floors when power gets scarce

Doing this is probably one of the more important parts to succeeding in the game. As for the goon asking about neo-scavenger: Yes. Longer version: You can pretend to be retarded for one check in the game. Also you can fight other hobos for their shopping bags which are an important commodity early on.

I wound up picking up Dungeonmans on the sale and that game is pretty great. The systems have just enough depth without being ToME level and it looks fantastic. I just rolled my first Psychomancer and Jesus Christ this class seems busted in the best way. Kicking off walls may never get old. He's only level five so it's only a matter of time until hubris or just suicidal curiosity spell his inevitable end.

MrWillsauce posted:Australia. It's the roguelike of continents. Roguelikest you mean. Also I keep getting messages that I notice something secret is in my environment or whatever, I try using the look key (t), but I'm not sure if I'm using it right. I'm assuming I just look around with it and see if anything pops up/hit enter on a square I think has something? Until my 7th dude, I didn't realize that the skill panel had an arrow that led down to more skill trees. For a while I thought Psychomansers just came with two unique skills.

Actually, since Australia is not set in a tile grid, you'll find that it is more accurately categorized as a rougelite.

Also bought Sanctuary RPG while at it. e: For those of you who are thinking of doing this too, I had to first install msxml3 and dotnet40 via winetricks BEFORE installing the game. I did this the second time. First time I installed the game and it never loaded and winetricks failed installing dotnet40 so I had to start again. Otherwise, it seems to work fine.

If you spend time near where you first get the message, eventually your hero will figure out where it is and the tile will be marked, along with something like "Nice try, secret door!" Glad you're liking the Psychomanser! I welcome your thoughts on his style, it's certainly one of the more esoteric movesets.

Imagined posted:The Curious Expedition is pretty fun. Also accurate to Victorian times: I really like The Curious Expedition. I like the way each adventure is pretty short (sometimes VERY short if it all goes wrong) and how you create a new narrative each time. Also how often you end up an insane cannibal.

My favourite ever game of Curious Expedition ended with all my human companions dead and me penniless and the least famous explorer. I was riding a loving velociraptor and had a giant tortoise and a second velociraptor following me around. We owned the poo poo out of a bunch of dinosaurs and recruited a cool lizardman, who also died, before I found the final pyramid and returned home as an awesome as gently caress dinosaur-wrangling turbo warrior with zero sanity and a shotgun. Curious Expedition owns.

"Evolution" is also a pretty good wish if you already have the boots. There is also a cloak that makes you immune to the magic rain that happens but i forget what it was called.

It slows down baseline corruption (which is negligible) but doesn't really do much for full blown etherwind, iirc. Fairy hats are pretty good wishes, put it on before you got to bed so you don't lose your good mutations to creepy dreams. Many of the symptoms are more good than bad anyway. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Nov 29, 2015 |

I've cleared ADOM many times but I'm not sure ever with a wizard. I am sure I lost a high level (30's?) wizard to the old fat finger a direction key while in a hallway casting magic missile.

By the way, don't buy Skyshine's Bedlam. It has a cool as gently caress concept with one of the worst combat systems I have ever seen. Incredibly disappointing to see an awesome concept turned into poo poo.

madjackmcmad posted:Glad you're liking the Psychomanser! I welcome your thoughts on his style, it's certainly one of the more esoteric movesets. Personally, I can never resist the fist, so I've played a LOT of Psychomansers. I've always found it a strong mastery set, particularly for single-target damage and mobility, but the real strength is how incredibly it synergises with certain other masteries. Dungeon Dervish, for example, turns you into a wrecking ball at level 1. With a few points in Psychomanser abilities you can one-shot champions and even bosses. It also fills in the gaps in the Psychomanser's multi-target options, with the Decimanser's Dance doing about 250 bleed damage/turn  My only criticism of the Psychomanser would be that a couple of bits are kind of underwhelming. I assume that Nothing is Impossible is an escape ability, but enemies occasionally ignore the mirage and go straight for you. The Hymns are a bit fiddly as well in how you have to spend a turn activating the stance, then letting the ability cool off, then activating the stance ability. I usually just get up to Red Rivers then leave it on, unless I need to destroy some walls. In terms of what's just broke, Deep Rolled The Thunder will destroy any wall, even, say, the ones for the Inner Sanctum of Temple levels! Also, maybe it's supposed to, but Seize Opportunity seems to hit twice.
