i was really let down by lorn's lureit's about as megastructure as a roblox obby
>>730882748The DLC is pretty good. I bought it despite hating the ending. There's a Blame! map which gets pretty close, and a procedural map which scratches the itch completely. The procedural one is totally hostile and incoherent. Anti yellow paint. Supposedly he will update it. In it's current form I already feel like I could play it forever

>>730882147Dolls Nest
isn't Peripeteia also pretty good in this aspect?
>>730883268Bleak Faith Forsaken is third person because it's a soulslike. It's a bit jank atm though, but I'm somewhat spoiled by the actual souls games

>>730882147Birthplace of Ossian has some megastruc elements if you look rightSTRUCT by OkhaLo, still on my backlogboth free
>>730882626both are fine
>>730882953Damn I missed the DLC release. I got filtered by the last level despite the awesome music. I pirated it initially but will definitely buy and replay this when I can. Excellent game
>>730882147Same as always, you can't see things right under your nose.
>>730883631Great suggestion>>730883424I have not heard of this, thanks>>730883636Awesome, will check these out
>>730883851Everyone got filtered lol. He added an easy mode which slightly changes some aspects of the game, and then completely replaces the final level.
>>730884036please help me. i don't know
>>730882147Control, kind of.
>>730884112I don’t really like the idea of an easy mode since I liked the rest of the game, will be worth trying it though I guess. Still it seems like they plan to update the game more which is neat

>>730884209guy's a faggot, not saying that these are the brutalist map packs for quake
>>730884390Oh right, thanks anon. I saw that those dropped recently. Quite a range of quality
>>730884209Quake. Brutalism Jam 3 just got released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vquTPCYbOxkPrevious 2 parts also had some megastructure maps as well.Enyo, even though the maps are not that huge, but the overall feeling and aesthetics are kinda close to Blame. The Warden map is fuckhuge, but it's medieval.Mjolnir episode 4 has probably one of the most vertical maps ever made in vidya, but its aesthetics are very far from Blame, more into sword and sorcery.
>>730884308>E.Y.E.>source engineI'm playing it
>>730884390You too.
>>730884776Most of it is forced perspective, so be warned.Also, game is not as straight forward as most.Make a thread if you are having trouble, someone on this board might still care
G-string sort of, it's on steam.
>>730884942awesome rec, thanks
>>730884607>>730883369>animeI will still play it
>>730885265https://steamcommunity.com/groups/atmofpexplothis curator might help you find some more interesting stuff
>>730882147does it count?the structures are sometimes oppressive in certain maps.
>>730885369my hero...
some parts of the forever winter take place in/around megastructures early access game so stay away for now trust me
bleak faith forsaken
>>730882147Look for games with brutalism architecture
>>730885553I second this and agree to wait until it gets more polished
>>730885490I actually popped into this thread to post Doll's Nest as well. One of the branch paths is just you progressively climbing a gigantic fucking tower for three whole zones, and the Water Treatment Level is skyline kino.
>>730882147not megastructures exactly, but BABBDI and STRAFTAT might interest you. they're free
>>730885806It's not the architecture, it's the scale. I want to feel like an ant inside of an abandoned steel foundry
>>730886239interesting, thanks
ok, let's say there's a BLAME! game or something that looks like BLAME! 99% : what you even do in a megastructure game? you get lost easily and don't know what to do, then what next?
>>730886638not all those who wander are lost
>>730882147>thought Lorn's Lure was about climbing>it's parkourFucking baited
Hypogea, no idea how good it is
>>730886638No one knows, just like the Blame author himself. You just wander around the cool architecture, that's everything people could came up with.
Naissancee and Blackshard.These are more walking simulator type games, but they've got cool settings.
Halo
>>730886638I always imagined you could just work with the world as it is in the manga. Procedurally generate a single, incomprehensively massive world, and spawn players randomly inside it. Sort of like a no man's sky type of thing where everyone is there but you're unlikely to find anyone. For most players, gameplay is just walking and climbing forever. But the pipes actually carry materials and the non megastructure structures can be broken down for mats also (to be rebuilt by builders so the world file size stays reasonable and doesn't stray too far from the procgen map). The naturally generated materials lead to a gregtech style progression that requires a massive politically stable community to work through, eventually becoming like the Bioelectric Company in Blame.Then these player civilizations on opposite sides of a solar system sized map can fight it out. Better hope your coords don't leak or you're getting a chunk of the sun teleported directly on top of your respawners. Meanwhile, most players are enjoying a walking simulator.
>>730886796I would call it a wifeslop game, because it's a bunch of little puzzles like what my wife plays
Ghostrunner
any games where it feels like you're actually exploring a massive construction instead of a nonsensical trash heap?weirdly enough i feel like the best megastructure is the castle in ico, even if it misses the point of this threadyou're traveling through this huge castle where every room fits into a grand structure, and things largely seem like they serve a function (to a limit, it's a puzzle game after all)
>>730887582Its possible. Older games did exactly this with procgen, but 2D. I always wanted a space sim thats less about the usual star trek faggotry and more about traveling to and exploring mysterious megastructures for phat salvage loot.
Motorslice
Bleak Faith Forsaken is a janky bitch fuck game. But goddamn do I love it. I should really get around to replaying it again.
>>730882147>Rain World>Echo>Vanquish
>>730882147>>730882501Armored Core is full of them, it's comfy to imagine Killy walking through all the levels (I get D rank because I waste time imagining this)
>>730887582>procgen megastructurehow would you even do this? natural environments are easy because they just use noise maps and like five tree structures, but The City?I can't even begin to imagine how to automatically generate something as consistent and varied as the sights of Blame.
>ctrl + w>"portal 2">1 resultWhat the fuck niggas
>>730889439You make a lot of single pieces, and then come up with an algorithm to randomly join them together.
>>730889439>make lots and lots of modular structure bits and greebles>use those to procgen lots and lots of assembled modular structures>use those modular structures to procgen megastructures
>>730889529>>730889715That approach seems somewhat limiting
>>7308894393D Herringbone Wang tiles
>>730889490>reddit game 2
>>730889787The keyword here is "a lot".
>>730882147Bleak Faith
if you're going to play rain world play the survivor slugcat and ONLY the survivor, the longer and more you play that game the worse it gets, exponentially, until it ruins itself, and I mean it.
>>730889853Oh you meant like a lot a lot
>>730890187hence why you first make a shitload of base pieces and greebles, then use those to generate ton and tons of prefab modules, then use those to generate the CityObviously you could still make one-shot/very rare set piece locales like >>730889787
>infinite procedurally generated structure made from handcrafted modular piecesthis minecraft zoomerslop beat you to it
>>730890347>one-shot/very rare set piece localesI wonder if you know how big The City is. A special set piece could be so rare basically no one would ever see it (say, one instance per volume of the real life Earth) and it would still repeat roughly 2 quadrillion times. I did the math
>>730890392this would be cool if it was in anything but Minecraft
>>730890646>I wonder if you know how big The City isNTA but didn't the author say it was estimated to be the size of Jupiter?
>>730890710it is and will remain the goat at infinite procgen
>>730890646No I know what scale we're dealing with here, I meant 'one-shot' or 'very rare' in the sense that the average player might never even see certain structures in person, only hear of it from other players/see pictures of it shared online
>>730890748He said the city extends past the ORBIT of Jupiter. The city is two light hours across.
>>730890879>the average player might never even see certain structures in person, only hear of it from other players/see pictures of it shared onlineI like that a lot actually
>>730890748There is a single room the size of Jupiter.
>>730891123Why'd he do it?
>>730882147>Metal GardenPlayed it after seeing it mentioned in these threads and it sucks, complete waste of time
>>730891751never believe anything /v/ shills, especially in meme threads like this
>>730885490It does count and it's one of the better games in the genre
>>730891625Total silicon death
>>730882147v.a proxy
To an extent, Darktide. Most of the game's missions take place in a hive city and looking up doesn't guarantee sky.
>>730882147Cyan brain, kinda, the background is sometimes full of megastructure stuffs. The enemies looked like silicon life creatures and the characters have that sullen and dopey looks to them, signature of nihei's character design.
About a trillion years ago this board theory crafted a game tentatively titled 'You Are Here' about exploring a never ending decrepit space mall filled with spoopy horrors. I always felt that a setting like that would work better in a game than something like BLAM where the megastructure is filled with absolutely nothing most of the time and the mere act of transversal would be a massive pain in the ass. Give me never ending rows of stores filled with useless trinkets or items critical to my survival, give me some creepy mall music always playing in the background, give me some barely lit claustrophobic backrooms and large empty lobbies decorated for holidays that doesn't even exist, megastructures can have personality too damnit.
>>730891751I liked it
>>730882147I wanted to read this manga but reading it online gives me eye cancer and it's expensive to buy in physical format feelsbadman
>Why yes, I want to explore a grey on grey setting, why do you ask?
>>730893192you gotta hunt for the right scans. there's a few of varying quality. don't know what the best is anymore because I own two copies of the series now
>>730893192read it on an ebook
>>730893254I do though. I've read the series about a dozen times and replayed every megastructure game I know over and over. If I could trade places with Killy I would. Please let me walk through a grey on grey setting for 100,000 years
You're constantly fighting on megastructures or see them in the skyboxes in the Halo games>The titular Halo rings>Their Library and Sentinel wall compounds>High Charity>The New Mombasa Space Elevator>Reqiuem>Mantle's Approachetc
>>730886068And somehow, you're STILL underground.
>>730893192
>>730893498didn't the artist also mention he was a big fan of halo at the time because of this? am i wrong?
>>730882147talos principle 2, also nice that the game has color and its not all grey like 99% of megastructure-slop games
>>730893498Halo? Never heard of it. Tell me more!Said nobody ever.
>>730893753>pillar is slightly obscured>that isn't the sunI love megastructures
>>730882147The visual novel I'm working on.>>730892652For better or worse, there are a billion games with this flavor now, thanks to the Backrooms / Poolrooms phenomenon. Most of them are gimmicky horror games though.
>>730891123bro was just minin his own business
>>730891123I don't know why Blame fans wank this particular part off so much to be honest. The art here is literally a black void and you'd never pick up on any sense of scale without reading that text.
>>730895364That's kind of the point
>>730895364There's nearly always a wall of the megastructure visible in shots throughout the manga, a black void instead of a huge wall is significant. Not to mention the scale is set up earlier in the chapter multiple timest. autist
>>730882147White Knuckle
>>730882147Echo (2017)
>>730883215Damn, the shader/lighting is well on target.Which engine?
It's not brutalistic chaos, but the megastructure in Echo is a planet sized mansion created by giga-ultra-mega rich sociopaths to torture people.I'm particularly fond of it because some of my dreams happen in impossibly big masions.
>>730884667I've been playing QBJ3 and getting really mad that nobody thought to make a Blame! map with the Invoker as the only weapon.
>>730882147How much of a game does it need to be, and how much human-made?'cause it you just want to feel lost and hopeless as fuck: https://bananaft.itch.io/yedomaglobulaIt's a gigantic mishmash of 3D fractals: you only get a flying boat, a drilling tool (mostly in case you get stuck) and flares.
>>730893498Oldschool bungie were fans of Nihei, they even hired him for the Johnson Flood comic.
>>730896443Just like with the manga itself, the concept might be cool but it's not very engaging.
>>730894967Is the spoiler pic what you're working on? Looks cool.
>>730897126It is! It's just a background though, of course.
>>730894967What's your vn about? Other than megastructures
>>730884776It's a good game, can run on a boot. Don't know why so many people haven't played it.
>came in about to post Dolls Nest>anons have already done itTwas a good day
>>730886416yep, an ant that gets hints as the possibility of escape, but there is actually no escape. Kind of like how I have no mouth and I must scream is.
>>730896378good game
>>730899610Post-post apocalypse in a post-stellar megastructure.Two nations have been at war for decades (this one of the few visible front lines because there's teleportation).One of them is techno-fascist military run by an ancient AI superintelligence.One of them is our-socialism-has-never-been-tried separatists.Finally trying to sue for peace after decades of bombing one another with antimatter.Player is part of a group in the fascists trying to make sure the peace delegations work out.They don't. Ancient Illuminati fucks it all up.Turns out that they were part of previous iterations of techno-fascist fascist, which the AI was dissatisfied with and blew up, causing 'the apocalypse'This has happened literally millions of times over the course of a vigintillion yearsAI was just using the peace talks to draw the Illuminati outThanks for being a cog in the machine. :) Player character + friends decide to stay for fascists, leave for socialists, or join Illuminati.
>>730900803sounds cool
>>730900889Cheers my guy.
>>730889715There's a game called Dream Cycle that tries that. But it was like a one person studio or something so it doesn't work out great but its doable.
>>730882147Here's the ones I've played. Most of them are either platforming or walking sims. My dream game would be Death Stranding mixed with BLAME! - lots of traveling using climbing, gliding, and parkour.
>>730901864You would probably enjoy Dolls Nest.
>>730889439>define a fuckload of prefabs and note their exit and entry points so you can connect them together.>come up with a fuckload of rules "stairs next to hallways" "pipes next to treatment plant" etc. >come up with a bunch of expansion rules "ExpansionA: corridor + corridor + bridge + corridor" >generate noise representing density so you got big empty voids and dense vertical interconnecting shit.>randomly apply these rules with a fixed seed.the quality of this will come down to the complexity of the rules, which is where the real work would be, like having neighboring prefabs fit the same theme so it doesn't just look like a mishmash of tech shit.it would be very difficult but once you'd done it you'd have infinite blame levels you could always just add more prefabs to.

>>730891123I like how BLAME just has these horrific Cybernetic people just casually minding their own business, playing with some doo dad, and then they'll tell you the hallway you're in has a length equivalent to the distance between the Earth an Mercury.
>>730882147Besides Doll's Nest And Armored Core I can't think of games with really big superstructures.
>>730882147Halo
>>730883268Try Hypogea, it's like a third person Lorn's Lure.
>>730901864these kinda games feel like they're about to hit saturation, there's more coming out like Vholume, The Canon of Balls, Babbdi 2 and probably more likely because it's easy as fuck to make levels for. if I can do it anyone can, pic related
>>730903059I grabbed a complete savefile to skip the turbo epilepsy chapter. I think it's normal, unless we're not talking about the same area
>>730906642I was going to mention Vholume, it looks pretty cool but with the premise and what I've seen I wonder how they're going to keep the gameplay progression fresh.
>>730907043The fan section is the first one like that I can remember, though I think there might be one or two others. It’s been a little bit since I played.
I'm more interested in House of Leaves than megastructures, any games with ever-shifting nightmare labyrinths?
>>730907463The closest thing that's ever matched what I want is Myhouse.wad but even then it isn't enough.
>>730907431There's a room that constantly flickers between black and bright white with moving shapes too. There are pits you're supposed to avoid in there so it's impossible to get through without looking closely at the balan wonderworld final boss
>>730883096>>730883215Maybe it's an autism flare-up, but one thing about this scene pisses me off.The broken pipes.Where the fuck were they going? There is no corresponding piping on the other side they could have connected to. By their location, turning upwards or downwards or to the sides makes little sense.When you design a scene, its story should be well understood.Similarly, the ladder in the bottom right. It comes up to a small platform, then there is no further point of travel, nor, seemingly, a reason to access this small platform. No terminals, no machinery, no valves, nothing.
Does INFRA count? I suppose it's more of a regularstructure video game.
>>730882147Prey 2006? you go the whole game traveling through the sphere, listening to some art bell inbetween
>>730908215but yeah, half of the game is just megastructures and half of it you can traverse in
>>730899781>Don't know why so many people haven't played it.because it's old and janky. even when it was recently released, it was pretty much just here that revered it and gave it lots of attention that turned it into a cult classic.
