Do you know what the licensing will be, and if it will be available on platforms besides Windows?

victrix posted:It's a shame I detest everything about BoI's theme, the game is just wildly unappealing to me If it wasn't so over the top, I would probably play the game more than once in a blue moon. Sometimes Edmund McMillen reminds me of junior high school when the one goth stoner kid discovered occultism and wouldn't shut up about how if you burn the right candles on the right day it will totally cast a spell, and he would draw St. Peter's cross and pentacles over everything "because they're the symbols of the devil". The  emote sometimes appears literally in my mind's eye when I play the game

madjackmcmad posted:Can you call dibs on unposted keys? i don't know if you can or want to talk about this, and it's a lil offtopic, but does the parade of sales and bundles for digitally distributed games ever work in favor of small indie developers? as an outsider nonbusiness person it looks like it could either be really good or really bad, especially for smaller developers who can't absorb big losses ps dungeonmans is one of a few games im trying to decide between for my allotted steam funds for this sale so i expect nothing less than a novella in reponse. gotta post post post to earn that half of a mcdonalds value meal here, buddy :P

Rapacity posted:Speaking of Dungeonmans, I just bought it and I completed the Skrobold caves. After going back to the academy I went out to the next dungeon and it told me that it was trivial and just gave me some loot; fine. However, the same happened with something like the next 4 or 5 dungeons in a row!? When you're in the overworld, the text of the dungeon name is shown in a color. The color indicates how hard the dungeon is, relative to you. You can see the colors in the help window that you can open up in-game. The help window is actually helpful, too! I play with the game in a window and the help window sitting next to it, so I can alt+tab over to it and look up the thing I forgot from five minutes ago. e: IronicDongz posted:I really don't like how, in Dungeonmans, you have to name every character something different. And then you get to choose from several selections of starting stat spreads, seeded on that name or something...? Just let me pick my base stats, tia. It's like a weird middle ground between playing dnd with the grognard who insists that you roll your stats randomly and the reasonable human who just lets you pick them source your quotes Lutha Mahtin fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Dec 30, 2015 |

madjackmcmad posted:Goonthoughts on: It depends on the game. Games can use an unusual player-sight system to good effect, just as they can use a conventional system poorly. I'm curious if this issue is something that many developers even consider. And it wouldn't surprise me if platform games all look like they do because "that's how Donkey Kong and Pitfall did it", or if roguelikes just copy rogue ( ).One of the coolest uses of this idea I remember was in the original Unreal, the single-player game that was before Unreal Tournament. I remember watching my cousin (RIP) play this after we'd picked it up in a discount bin, and there's a section in an early level where you are in an underground tunnel, stuck there somehow. Buy as you look down the tunnel you see the overhead lights click off, one, by, one. Of course, the next step is to blast the baddies who come out in the dark. But it was very cool because it played with the idea of the player's "senses" in both a gameplay and thematic way. It's something I think has potential to develop into diverse and unique designs, much more than it has as of now.

Has anyone been playing Delver? I bought it on Android a few years back, and they haven't been updating that version for a while now, but I see that new betas have been released on Steam every few months. I'm curious about anyone's opinions for how it's been progressing.

The first game in the Dungelot series was actually released in 2012. I only played the free version of first one, on Android, but I remember it being a puzzly, coffee-break hack and slash game with some roguelike elements. I think it had permadeath, and the way you progressed was to move around the small grid for each floor and uncover tiles behind which you might find some loot, or maybe a monster that is hard to kill for your level. I think remember it having weird balance issues.

There is a new mobile roguelike out called Gumballs and Dungeons (iOS, Android). Here is a post from the Android games thread:SynthesisAlpha posted:So does anyone remember Dungelot? And its terrible sequels? I've been playing Gumballs & Dungeons, which is basically the game Dungelot should have been. Sure there's a stamina mechanic and premium currency like every drat mobile game, but you get enough of both that they never feel restrictive. I would say to ignore the "holy super gacha-fest" comment here, at least until some super-nerds have written endgame guides. I've sunk like 5 or 10 hours into the game already, and I have no care in the world about the gumball-fragment gacha, because there is so much else to do. Every dungeon has fun gimmicks that remind me a tiny bit of Sproggiwood, like in the undead dungeon where all the enemies drop bones which you can then combine on a necromancer table and create armor from fallen enemies  . The combinations of characters and items you can use as your starting loadout is fun to tinker with, too. There is a lot of fun to be had tinkering with different builds and figuring out gimmicks on how to cheese the ridiculous bosses that show up once you unlock each dungeon's endless mode.

when i discovered nethack many years ago, i remember thinking it was really cool that there were special modes and tools for blind people. up to that point i don't think i had ever known anyone or read about people trying to play video games who were blind. and with most roguelikes it's not like you need to only represent things visually, so it's pretty cool that blind people get to have almost the exact same experience as sighted people

I have tried playing Tome 4 several times but all the tilesets I tried felt unfinished, or they just irritated me. Is there one that's as polished as, say, the Crawl tiles, or is there a way to set the GUI version of the game to some kind of ASCII mode? (I have probably asked this question in this very thread a while back, sorry)

After playing it for an hour or two, I can confirm that the bullet patterns are ...unique. So far my strategy has been "hold down the run button and plink away when I can". I haven't beaten any floor 1 yet but I'm starting to see some strategies on which upgrades to go for.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:If you can get a second shield layer, that's also really good. The most common way is the "lose all shields for the rest of the level, but at the start of the next level you get +1 shield layer". Note that you can't have more than 2 shield layers. this is good to know. i didn't even know that i had a shield, or that shopkeepers exist. "git more damage" was pretty easy to figure out on my own though
