Does anyone have a working version of Decker? I know it's kind of a terrible game, but it's simple, relatively transparent, and I just reread the LP. I downloaded the source code from SourceForge (since the creator's site is apparently dead), but when I try to start the Decker.EXE in the /bin directory, I get code:Edit Wait, never mind, figured it out. So this post isn't completely useless, did anyone ever make any not-atrocious skins?

Unormal posted:An awful lot of it (like ~98% of hundreds of thousands of lines). I had a keyboard and console facade already in place, so I basically just went back behind the scenes and changed it to run the whole CoQ process in it's own thread, which dumps to what it thinks is the regular console/keyboard API, but is really the primary Unity thread sucking that output up and displaying it in a fake console and pumping keyboard commands in OnGUI into a queue in the game thread.

I've stayed up all night playing rogue likes before, but last night is the first time I ever stayed up making one. My stated goals are a low barrier for entry, transparency of mechanics and information, and interesting decisions on the macro and micro scale. It's running on the very simple "everyone gets so much energy each turn and you can't act until it's filled back up" system that a lot of better games use. Part of the conceit is presenting this mechanic as a "stamina bar" that fills up. The one major "twist" is that I'm implementing facing, a la FF Tactics. Turning takes a small amount of stamina, so attacking in the direction you're already facing is slightly faster. Incoming attacks from the side ignore shields, and attacks from behind do that as well as doing more damage and knocking off a bit of stamina. The idea is to make positioning very important, and to reward sneak attacks and clever tactics. My question is this: Am I reinventing the wheel here? Are there other rogue likes that do one or both of these things, but better?

"Roll X, take best/worst" has always interested me as a mechanic because I find it really interesting how it barely touches anything that would be reasonably certain before, but the more rare the occurrence before, the more pronounced the effect. It's especially noticeable on a D20, where the chance of a Nat 20 becomes either 1/400 or (approx.) 1/11, respectively.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:It only works like that when you're making yes/no checks. The way it affects e.g. damage rolls is going to be more complicated. Sil using a single uniform die for everything actually makes the math significantly easier. Especially since it's a D10.

You have a 19% chance of doing 1 damage, a 15% chance each of doing 2 or 3 (I think, I am literally doing this mental math while I poop) so on down the line until you hit a 1% chance of doing 10 damage. It's pretty much the same as before.

Am I the only one who thinks that a mobile version of Necrodancer would be loving rad? The field of view would have to be smaller, but you could have touch things on the bottom for bombs and items, and use directional swipes instead of the arrow keys.

Necrodancer might just be my favorite 2014 game period. Everything about it is just so drat clever and the core mechanics are really well put together. (Even if it takes a little while to get used to.)

I'm pecking away at making a pseudo rogue like in Game Maker 8, because I am bad at syntax and paid a lot of money for it a while ago. But I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone else for that. It's an engine much more suited to platforms and the like, and I've had to do some kinda kludgy nonsense to make it work, but I'm too stubborn to stop trying to reinvent the wheel with a pile of sheet metal.

MrBims posted:Gamemaker is really terrible even as just a learning tool, because updates regularly break compatibility. There are a lot of tutorials and examples out there that you can't use without downgrading to specific versions, and techiques you do in a project today might not be applicable in a project you do a year from now.

Yes, bats move randomly, but they're not dangerous as long as you're careful, because they only move every other beat. (Except red bats. gently caress those guys.) 3. No good ever comes from moving directly adjacent to a dragon. Let it come to you. 4. If you need to wait a beat, instead of just waiting and losing your multiplier, dig a wall. This is called a 'tactical dig'. It's great. 5. Go for the upgrades from the top-middle shop first. They're permanent. Health, especially, is huge when you're first learning, and that extra heart can be the difference between "close call" and "learning experience".

It's kinda like a procedural Fighting Fantasy book, and I played way too many of those as a kid.

Two of my last three tests with him ended on the first floor by falling down a hole and dying. So, working as intended?

I'm working on Version 1.03 right now, doing a major overhaul of the tables, and normalizing the difficulty somewhat, as well as improving the formatting of the rules pages. Once that's done, and I've let the ideas get tested a fair bit more, 1.04 will probably mostly be class rebalancing, and then I'll likely put new updates on the backburner for a while. I have some other ideas for similar games that have been coalescing since I started S'xsyde, and I wanna give those a shake, too.

rchandra posted:Is S'xsyde from "six side" or "dSexy's"? You can decide. Beelining is the path of least resistance, and is useful if you need the boss-beat HP increase or the stat boost, but meandering around gives better odds of finding chests, if you're confident you can handle the obstacles in your way between them. I'll rework that whole section, make that clearer.

 madjackmcmad posted:I feel that "cardinal direction" is much more clear than "adjacent", since some readers will wonder if diagonal counts as adjacent. "Black out each square in a cardinal direction from all blacked out squares." is unambiguous.  Labyrinth of S'xsyde v1.03! With exciting new features like "intuitive table layout", "competent formatting" and "different opening image". I did a pretty massive overhaul of the Monster, Trap, and Obstacle tables so they're more consistent now, and simplified the HP-gaining rules. The game is a bit easier, but that's what the difficulty slider is for. I think this is going to be the last "main" update unless something major jumps out that needs fixing. Edit I had a lot of fun coming up with the new trap names, too. The ultimate trap is now The Red Room.  Edit2 Which is very likely to get its own spinoff game, because it'd be a good way to use all these "make a dungeon to horribly murdercate heroes" game ideas I've got. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Jan 23, 2015 |
