Tuxedo Catfish posted:Unless the undocumented features are really cool (which, in fairness, they might be) this release looks like total rear end. Tons of new stuff for Adventure Mode, which remains nothing but a weird curiosity that gets boring after half an hour if you've ever played a traditional roguelike, crippling FPS issues for fortresses, all utilities and mods broken as per usual... oh, but we get big trees. A lot of the meat for Fortress mode is beneath the hood. For starters Dwarfs act completely different and have a new emotion system, they also are more people to do important tasks it seems. World Gen got a lot of work so a lot more happens now while the game is running throughout the world. I assume he does this because it affects you with regards to invasions. New creatures were also added I believe and with the new conversation/emotion system invasions should behave differently. However this also comes with its share of bugs and many a dwarf ATM has been killed or maimed due to falling out of a tree. Also anyone know of a game with an actually not horrible and mind crushingly dull crafting system? All this Pit talk got me thinking about is creating and then Dredmors crafting. I kind wanna play a game where it's not that bad. Teleglitches was nice afaicr. Cerepol fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Jul 12, 2014 |

The series is dead, and no-one wants to build on such a shoddy foundation. Hell, this is why the best roguelike is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and the only good Pokemon game is the 3D one that added hats. Alright, I think this proves the whole thing is a charade.

Pladdicus posted:The thing about ADOM and Nethack versus something like Crawl is this 'in death you learn' style of gameplay that makes Roguelikes, Roguelikes (among 100000 different arguable things). The difference is that conceivably someone could make it through Crawl much easier on their first ten tries versus ADOM/Nethack because Crawl requires you to be really good at playing it versus Nethack/ADOM which requires you to be really good at playing it and know a lot of hidden mechanics you won't discover until (maybe) you die because you didn't know them. Well it is rather stupid to die near the end after a fair number of hours because of some bullshit knowledge check.

Potsticker posted:Names in roguelikes are kind of weird. They are good identifiers for characters, but have a very roleplaying background to them. LiKe my Crawl score list is full of duplicate names, which only usually get changed when I'm using a different race/build. It helps with ghost ability identifying in practice, at least. But how important is each individual character? If I don't make it very far in a game where I have to start all over from the beginning every time it gets rough thinking of a new name every time. Especialky since I'm not the sort that can live with Bob, Boba, Bobb, Bobc, et cetera. In terms of Names I tend to use the same ones, but retire them once they ascend. I keep this list across all games so for easier games, DoD or the like, I'll use more obscure ones.

The maximum of long is much higher than that. Only reason is because they didn't think it would bloat so fast and refactoring is drat hard in such a large project.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Dredmor is liked for having introduced roguelikes to the broader population, but it has substantial UI problems and pretty shallow gameplay (combat is mostly just bump-attacking, all monsters are broadly similar). I'd say it's definitely worth picking up and playing through once or twice. Its character customization system is still the best I've ever seen in a "mainstream" roguelike (you pick a selection of skill trees instead of a class/race, basically mix&matching your abilities), and there are some reasonably funny jokes in there. Definitely play on No Time To Grind though; the levels are much too big otherwise. Also hit '+' once or twice. Them animations are terribly slow.

I noticed your altl UI and figured this was coming. Though now I use the alternate (with the OSB turned off) and I think I like it more than the sidebar due to the fact its much smaller and out of the way. Is it possible to do UI modding on the workshop?

I don't know how big Chucklefish actually is, wikipedia has them pegged at 16 employees which is quite small for a publisher. I'm curious as to what benefit they pitch to the games they don't develop inhouse as they done quite a few by this point. As for their actual development inhouse they did gently caress up Starbound quite hard however Wargroove looks interesting enough (I REALLY want some more Advance Wars!) that I'm willing to watch it for a bit and then probably dive in. As far as the success of games they've published it mostly seems to be off the merit of those games themselves. Risk of Rain is good but niche and did pretty well I think, Stardew Valley is fulfilling a hole of HM on PC and has enough merits of its own to be a great entry into that genre.

Seriously why the gently caress is ToME so loving long, I'm working my way through as a Brawler (WHY THE gently caress ISNT THIS A DEFAULT CLASS?!?!?!) and I've spent so long and am only now getting to Dreadfall, this is disgustingly long, wheres the notime to grind mode which also cuts out the east for being bad?

ToME draws me in when I get to do the tactical cooldown based fight its builts for. I see a cool Rare boss, and ensure a proper tactical fight, backing off if necessary to reset cooldowns, proper management of infusions/runes. Using my abilties and managing your resource(s) to ensure you don't run out of steam (also a resource) too early and have him chunk you down.Tuxedo Catfish posted:There's a mod called QuickTome that completely overhauls the game to disincentivize grinding and speed things up: https://te4.org/addons/tome?s=quicktome&tag= I see thats by Minmay, a pretty prolific crawl poster, I guess I'm not too surprised they did a mod for ToME to make it more streamlined. QuickTome Zone Overhaul posted:Yes, this makes it impossible to get some unlocks and to enter the Infinite Dungeon from the main game. Boo hoo. yep thats definitely the minmay style.

 fast starjumper is hilarious, beat the game in 62 turns! Turns out teleporting every time you stand still makes it impossible for things to kill you at 50+ speed. They might take one divine intervention but they cant take em

Magitek posted:Am I wrong that player positioning seems really important in Achra? Running up to a firing squad of ranged enemies is suicide in a lot of cases, and controlling LOS is by far the simplest way to counter that. it is, which is why stand still builds are so funny, just move to corner if you start in a bad area then hit tab

oh god red imps are brutal and contribute a lot to speed being the most important stat by far. since the game runs automatically so much getting more 'turns' inbetween the enemy turns is extremely important to shore up issues, reposition or use prayers. im still trying to get a low speed going but you just die between turns which will eat all your divine interventions. As far as i can tell each stand still action for instance is not averaged out by game turn but per action, so slow stand still builds blow because you jist do way less actions per turn. if say stand still triggered once at every 1/10th of a turn regardless of speed it would be way more viable even if you didnt get a chance to respond directly after each. overall i am very pleased with the game especially considering i can look at my design doc for something very similar and I'm intrigued how far they've explored the design space considering the decision to keep things mostly automatic
