:jerkbag: I'm gonna take a minute to poo poo up this thread with why Roguelikes are so great, this thread rules, we all are rulers, and the game making and playing world needs more of us. Here's what Steam is rocking this weekend for their three bignutt weekend sales:



Grim Greymans in swirling coolsmoke (tm) or, you know, video games. Now don't get me wrong, I loved Skyrim and Mordor-- in fact Mordor was one of the few games in recent memory I actually played all the way through to the last end credit. Those games owned, both of them, and I will play every game you put in front of me about a mighty hero who can break bad upon wave after wave of loot-bearing bad guys. Of loving course.

But look at the wide and wild bullshit under that third sale. Again, for reference:



Don't like dungeons? Go play a game about submarines, or ninjas, or growing old in the snow, whatever. There's still a poo poo ton of games there with unique and flavorful mechanics, vibrant colors, new ideas, and the sort of "oh man, whoa" cool feeling that waited for you when you stumbled into a new arcade, or found some crazyass shareware game, or any of the other gem-discovering methods we used when we were falling for gaming regardless of how you got your fix.

This thread is best thread because you can show up one day and someone's talking about a tank simulator, or IVAN, or Elona, or FTL, or any number of wild ideas held together by the thin and oft-argued standard of "what is a roguelike", to me the answer will always be "a game that belongs in this thread", and I sit smugly upon my tautology.

Please keep finding, playing, jawing about, and making roguelikes.

Also, given the above, maybe I'm marketing Dungeonmans wrong.



this could also be construed as a post humblebragging about owning so many Roguelikes or even more sinister, trying to get someone to gift you a copy of Steam Marines :tinfoil:

Cogmind is taking the big Alpha plunge at last with a slick new trailer, and a spiffed up website that may or may not be buckling under the load of curious folks.

http://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/

It is going the premium paid Alpha route as a few other games have elected to dabble in, $30 and then various Better Deal packs that are aimed at folks looking to get multiple copies and such.

I hope for an excellent future for this project, and doubly so that all the engine improvements he's made for this will filter back in due time for X@COM RL and greatly expedite the road to crazy town for that project and the various mega mods and total conversions he's already got folks tinkering at Chaosforge-style.

I disagree and feel you just want games earlier.

Less glib aside, you only ever get one release, a higher price point may combat this effect, s when it actually launches the lower price point is the sell.

Also 10 bux for a Roguelike sans tiles? Or has Qud changed since last I played?

I mean that's my cup of tea, but I sincerely doubt steam is ready for it.


Most glaringly it seems to posit these things are like sliders in opposition.

it has tiles in the Steam version

and the tiles are excellent, some of the best tiles I've seen in a roguelike

I'm really a big proponent of accessibility, even though I don't always do everything I want to for it due to pure lack of hours, I try to think deeply about it in my designs, so no fear!

When I stop playing Qud, it will probably be because of "walk to closest house, stop by Mehmet on the way to the next house (or maybe skip him on this walk), oops take two steps back forgot to close a door, now walk to the next house (make sure to talk to Mehmet this time or I'll forget until I'm like, level 5), close the door while I'm standing on it while going into Tam's house for least buttonpresses, open the chest, sell items (no wait, equip things first, then sell the other poo poo) walk to Argyve and give him some freeze grenades or whatever, go downstairs, die immediately to a faction leader with Sunder Mind, refuse to create a new character right now and uninstall forever"

For the cooking roguelike, you could have it set in a fairly normal kitchen/restaurant setting, but have a layer of abstraction to it. The parts where you control your chef are all normal kitchen management simulation type things, choosing ingredients, taking orders, things like that. But then the cooking part of the game becomes the more rouge-like section. Your skillet becomes a battle arena and your cooking utensil is your @. The type of dish you're making and the ingredients you choose determine what kind of enemies you fight, and using spices can be like helpful skills, or enemy buffing difficulty modifiers that improve the quality of the finished meal. Soften up that beef with some tenderizer powder, or use some cayenne to give that omelette some pep, but look out because now your spatula is getting shot to poo poo by +2 fireballs.

why is this literally not a game
