Kevin ate the fucking code again.
Driving/flying mobile base is almost done lads. Electrical + one arcane engine that just werks.Are there any tools that must be installed and cannot be held in hand? Fridge already included.

I'm gonna be so mad if I die and eventually lose all of this
That lost empty slot in my mobile base came in clutch, remembered I can install an autodoc in a car. Replaced my seat with an autodoc couch because it's a valid form of seating. Life is good lads, now only to transfer all my items into the car and hope I can lift off in the end.This baby has everything I need and more.Autoclave and autodoc for my bionic needs, couch to operate, drive from and sleep in. All the tools packed in two boards and a hatch for easy access without going inside the base if needed. Two large trunks full of everything and anything. A fridge for food and a table for crafting. It can drive and it can fly, running fully off of solar and arcane energy. Everything is plated with superalloy and all inside spaces have shock absorbers.The only thing missing is turrets, once I get to that this baby will be magic.
>>494999849oh shithow's the dungeon crawling in this?
>>495001680Same as Elona. If you unlock the Advance Adventurer License, dungeons become scaling indefinitely. Even at Early Access, the Void and its evils exist.
>>494974380Thanks for making the new thread
>>494999849Wait wait, what the hell's this
>>495003356Welcome
>>495003472looks like Elona
>>495004053I don't remember Elona looking like that
>>495001827Is it leaked or something?
>>494994494Roguelikes are never on sell, because you can't find them on steam.
>>495005648After a bit of digging. Early access for kickstarter backers apparently.
>>495005648as >>495008741 pointed out, just a Beta Playtest for backers. Early Access is on November 1. Lorewise, it's a prequel to Elona, and it's expected to introduce the entire world of Ylva and not just North or South Tyris, which is just 1 continent and as featured in Elona+
>>495008741didn't know kickstarter was still a thing>>495010071freaking Elin, couldnt remember the name for the life of me
>>494994494Did any of those sources you read bother to explain what they meant by "joining" a faction? Like, you can get a positive relationship with any faction, including the Putus Templar, but that presumably doesn't count.

>>495023642How is it different exactly? And does it mean it doesnt have the new content that main CDDA has since it is a variant?
>>495027851Just download it and start playing, you'll notice how much more fun it is
>>495027851DDA has no new content, the devs are too obsessed with mechanical overhauls to make the game more tedious to write content.

Thoughts on the idea of a roguelike without combat? There would still be monsters, but the player isn't a warrior and can't fight at all. Instead you have to use consumables and skills to outmaneuver monsters. Stuff like banana peels, door wedges, ziplines, sticky slime. Basically like a Bugs Bunny roguelike
>>495044434To add on:I've been thinking about this for a minute and I think it would actually work pretty well. It solves some problems too. No killing means no option of grinding (but raises the question of how the player grows in strength), hunger is unnecessary since eventually you'll run out of evasive resources if you stay too long on a floor, already visited floors aren't empty (and wandering monsters spawning from nowhere aren't needed) since the original inhabitants will always be there. It also has some interesting space for reimagining old ideas. Secret doors and passages for example could be unknown to the monsters, so seaeching for secrets has the bonus of giving the player a little hideaway they can use to be safe. Pickpocketing skills which are normally useless (just kill the monster then take its stuff) become useful (no other way to get items from monsters) It's fun to think about. I might make a little prototype when I have time
>>495044434So a SS13 Clown roguelike? If it's goofy I would play it.
>>495045285Yeah exactly
>>495045510That sounds fun, to an extent. How exactly would you progress? What kind of playstyles would there be? It seems more like an idea for a one-off playthrough than a roguelike.
>>494994494>Game goes against the right-wing dominated gaming space>Gets shit on constantly>Still does relatively well
>>495045892Progression would be pretty normal. You find items in the dungeon, but instead of them being weapons and armor they're either consumables like banana peels or equipables which give some sort of bonus (e.g. an earhorn that lets you sense monsters around corners, a disguise that makes monsters not notice you for a couple turns when they first see you, polevaulting pole for jumping across gaps and oger monsters)For playstyles it does seem more limited. Maybe consumable/trap focused play vs equipment/skills focused play. I'd have tot hink about it more
Got food poisoning and spent entire day on a john Roguelike equivalent of this?Don't say dda
>>495046648I would say nethack but in that game you'd either instantly die or gain fire ressitance
>>495044434That's what happens if you do a Solo Snail Tourist Run in Elona
>>495044434Check out Sulphur Memories: Alchemist if you haven't already done so. There's a demo on the itch page
>>495046410There's also the problem of enemy variety. Not attacking means that concepts like hp, armor, and on death effects can't be used to differentiate monsters. Since you're not fighting them their attacks aren't as important either.They have to be different based on how they chase you and how they can be fooled I guess
>>495046141Games with identity politics do well as long as the game is fun and you don't actually shove the political message down people's gullet
>>495046924Never tried elona, but I might do this>>495046932Looks cool, thanks for the recommendation
>>495027851It's sort of like DDA from three years ago. No pockets, no frozen mushy food, not quite as many stamina meters.
>>495046141Perhaps it would have done more than "relatively" well if it had actual gameplay instead of gay deer village walking sim quests.
>>495047431At least you can nuke the deer in that quest, even though it bugs the game oit because the devs are faggots
>>495047863Nuking things in an empty game simply isn't very fulfilling.
>>495048815Agreed, Qud is shit
>>495046141>be crypto-jew>get a sseth review before you come out as a full blown jew with a pedophile criminal record>"Pedojewbros, we won!"The only thing Qud accomplished was proving pirates right. Never pay money for video games.

Javelins make a small noise (4), useful for luring. Stones are too quiet (2) unless adjacent.For Red Sonja, DDAr worships Makhleb to exploit mMP surplus. DDAr can only afford to train the minimum: Evo, Invo, Axes, Dodging, Fighting. He can't afford spells, stealth or ballistics. He needs to be an efficient tank to keep Makhleb piety maxed.Stabbing beyond visual range:7. Charm jelly and yak. Order yak into its room and jelly north. Trap yak. 8. Retreat jelly south to eat two doors, from tile north of Veh.9. Release yak to guard, so he will stab (kill?) sleeping Sonja.This clarified that the purpose of FoAM's sense monster is ally stabbing with Hep (hexer) and Inner Flame. FoAM polearm killholes and swaps with ancestor while it regens. Hep add mobility, and drained foes are easier to hex.Thus KoCj is Xom, exploiting gourmand to play slowly and reap more Xom boons. Lack of SInv is mitigated by Magic Dart and Fulminant Prism. KoCj relies on abandoning and rejoining altars to entertain Xom, and isn't guaranteed a chaos weapon anyway. KoCj weathers Xom wrath in Abyss with Jiyva.The god1 swap suits Ko's stronger Evo and Fo's stronger Invo.The best DCSS learning path is definitely 1. tutorial2. GnWn thru Orc 2 from pre-mut 6 to Missing Eye 1 -- learn basic game elements3. Red Sonja DDAr from maphack to Missing Eye -- basic skilling, advanced shopping, OOD and micro tacticsI suspect #4 is Menkaure's Violet Keep, which appears to favor GhFi Makhleb, another good beginner species.The only other Red Sonja YouTube playthrough is MRG's blind GnFE, demonstrating it's far too easy on normal difficulty. He won't be hard to beat. DDAr's Heal Wounds is basically inexhaustible.Final bosses:Lerny: If lair door closed, stealth+fog, open and run. Wake with noise and lure out of water with lesser demons.Tiamat: Torment, heal, all Greater Demons, acid, Fan, or vuln+charm+Lom Lobon then cancel+orbrun.Greater Demons dig and smite, countering grates.

Finally I understand what a Xom chaosite is. The common denominators between KoCj and SpCK:- arcane skirmishers with Evo>Invo;- small stabber weak in melee, with terrible polearm aptitude, suiting chaos spear or dagger;- ability to mitigate chaos backfires such as invis and haste, via high Evo and speed or spells;- wears light armor so mutations are welcome;- stealthy with long hunger clock allowing slow play to reset at Xom altars and exploit tension.Kobold doesn't start CK because she hopes to use Yiuf's quarterstaff later.

It's rogueover

>>495120929No idea, try using it though, I wanna see it in action.
>>495003472>>495004053>>495004309It's Elin, which is the sequel to Elona (but lore-wise, it's the prequel, and takes 30 years before all the stuff happens in Elona). Extremely fun. Takes all the essence of pure (vanilla) Elona (none of the E+ bullshit) and lets you actually build your own base and home (own bedroom, beds for NPCs, storage rooms, etc.), your own farm in your base, just as many Nefias, more slowlife content, etc. Lots of mixing of base management and Elona core gameplay loop. And like, positive changes too. Attribute/skill potentials? There's a floor, so you won't ever drop below 100 for example. But invest platinum and you can raise them like crazy. Food? Now you can craft your own food with crazy mixes of potentials and attribute exp and it's not just generic herbed foods or picnic baskets or whatever. (Though tbf you still have to grow your own crops to do this haha.) And it's planned to have updates for years to come.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noacat/elinhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2135150/Elin/

>>495122916In a better world you can get for 0 rubles
>>495127592to add with what this anon said, the crafting is expansive. There are actually secrets or tricks to crafting that aren't really open, like how to make stones and logs made of just paper or other materials instead of relying on material hammers.Furniture, like beds in particular, perform better when they have certain traits and you don't need to just rely on having a king's bed. There are ways to make superfarms that can be self-sustaining, and the functionality of each property isn't fixed to just 1 purpose like in Elona or Elona+. You can setup a tourist attraction, an inn, a town, etc. Each resident in your home has traits and jobs and hobbies that boost how your home operates or what items can they generate, your home also has laws and policies that shape how your property will be governed or function. Best part is there is no item cap in storage or whatever you place in your base, unlike in the original.Then there are future releases for functions like how to make your own dungeon to attract adventures and get their items, capturing prisoners as slaves, etc. And it has Steam Workshop support from the very start where there are already some QoL mods available and other people developing expansive mods without having to resort to making variants like in original Elona.
Procedural generation is substantially less impactful if there is no exploration. Known map feels like a different genre, more akin to puzzle games.DCSS' dungeon sprints fall into this hybrid category. They're still quite fun and educational.The roguelike term has exploded in popularity due to the wealth of game mechanics pioneered therein. Hybridizing with other genres lures players back to the source.There are many ways roguelikes make stairs a well-balanced game mechanic. Eliminating stairs entirely is a genre-change, not an improvement. DCSS already follows a natural progression of difficulty in which stairs gradually evolve from redoubts into traps.Like AOO, eliminating stairs is an attempt to remove cheese instead of simply adding a difficulty setting.It's like always playing chess AI on easy, and then streamlining its rules towards checkers to reduce tedium.I wondered where the competitive gamers went with the collapse of roguelikes to woke, and just found the answer:https://web.archive.org/web/20240824150447/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/17/crosswords/chess/chess-is-booming.htmlEven MRG tried to make the jump. Chess is so traditional in its tropes, it's medieval. An Andrew Tate whitepill.Chess and new roguelites are the real competitors from whom trad-DCSS must claw back its elites, until the geeks are straight again.
>>495134134But it's not a known map. In rift wizard you can only see the next floor and can only puzzle out that part of the dungeon. In the same way that a traditional rogue can only see a room ahead too and can also only puzzle out each room at a time. It isn't fundamentally different from how a character in IA with stealth can peek rooms before choosing a path. Do tell me how a Angband player that spams magic mapping and liberally rerolls each level is suddenly playing a different genre of game than rift wizard?
dead internet isn't real but dead rlg is realAI blight keeps it trudging on
>>495120929It's kind of a hassle. You got a battery you can't recharge, and it's technically a creature you ride so you can't even close doors while in that thing. And in return, you can pick up heavy objects and fire energy weapons.
>>495137684I don't argue that Rift Wizard is not a roguelike, only that the stairless aspect is not roguelike. Even if it were, I absolutely approve of people switching to BDFL roguelites, since the OSS oligarchies have gone gay. The quality innovation will now be in games like Rift Wizard. However, we should not take this for evidence that the traditional roguelike is obsolete or inferior. Analogously, just because the large empires (USSR, China, USA) have undergone leftist singularities due to industrial summer, does not mean that large empires are obsolete. They will return with the next age of conquest, because big armies win. This is hard to remember when said empires are being spectacularly gay.Regarding Rift Wizard, its combat *feels* more like a cheerful puzzle game than a roguelike. Viscerally, a roguelike means being alone in the dark against all that lurks in Moria, where death is the least of your fears. A rogue steals alone into dark secret places storing treasure guarded by torturers. Seeing the entire tactical map for free, populated by cute bouncy emojis, isn't compatible with that experience.
What is it about the roguelike genre that attracts schizos? Low monetary barrier of entry?

>>495144490Games that reward outside-the-box thinking attract people who think unconventionally.

**** Orb loreIt would be nice if instead of an abominable dungeon core, the Orb was a silmaril:Removing the silmaril from its pedestal triggers the alarm: "WHO DARES" but the silmaril's aura is actually protective against the demonic pursuers. It frustrates their efforts to teleport in, reducing their spawn rate and throwing off their accuracy. Leaving the silmaril on the floor is quickly suicidal; carrying it is safer despite the stealth-reducing radiance and translocations interference.The flavor text should state that by divine law the demon lords cannot walk the surface; make it out and you'll be home free!Tolkien's Silmarillion lists three silmarils, who end in three elements: air, water and fire. That leaves the fourth element earth unaccounted for.Ashenzari was once the god of sky, air and secrets, but she whispered the gossip of the gods to mortals, causing worship to decline and laughter to increase. Therefore the gods bound Ashenzari to a Dungeon far from her beloved sky, and crystallized her consciousness into the first dungeon core. This was the fourth, the silmaril of earth, wrought by the gods of man after the Valar had passed out of Arda.Now instead of mocking the gods to mortals, Ashenzari is raped by them again and again. The bound Dungeon offers her power, prostrate, to whoever dares her depths. But only those who follow the rules can benefit. Otherwise even the corpses evaporate into mist, while shadows drive the invaders mad. No matter how many enter at once, each delves alone, in a Dungeon that is never the same, shifting like the wind itself.The rules:1. One delve per lifetime.2. Novices only.Will anyone free her? Or was her faith in Humanity the real joke?
>>495127984Chip's Challenge is not turn based, and thus not a roguelike
>As soon as you lift the Orb, Ashenzari's voice fills your head. "Quickly, take me to the surface! The demon lords can't follow us there. I'll hold them back!"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jf-E7oEguU
which roguelikes have the best explosions
I can't really find that much criticism of qud that isn't vague complaints or just saying that it's too easy once you learn everything, but like highly venerated roguelikes here also have those issues.Is it just because the devs are progressives or something?
>>495169469There's no ending as of now meaning it's not a roguelikeI've also found the randomly generated dungeons/caves to be tedious and unsightly, layout-wiseNote that this opinion was created years ago when I last played, I don't know how much it changed since
>>495169469yeahbeing an antihumanist IS bad but I don't think that's an excuse to not play their game
>>495166917CBN
>>495165342Wait, so Ashenzari is the orb?
>>495170513I think it got substantially better in the updates personally. 3 years ago when sseth shilled the game I would've just said it was alright, 6 years ago it was quite frankly just outright dogshit but I quite like it now.>>495170731>Anti-humanistYeah it's really pro-human to back the inbred nationalist faction who's genes are more damaged than the mutants.But I know most pol types are well off hispanic/german muts anyways from argentina or brazil
>>495171917>>495170513I hate the way the marsh biomes look with an autistic fury I wasn’t aware I was capable of, everything else is fine layout wise imo
great, all my three sources of human interaction are giving me the cold shoulder today (in cataclysm) (I'm getting a moral debuff for not interacting with NPCs because I took the sociable trait)

>>495170513They have improved the dungeon generation a bit since a few years ago. You'll find interesting little cubbyholes and snapjaw forts and shit, not to mention the becoming nooks might not have existed depending how many years you're talking>>495171917>who's genes are more damaged than the mutants.Are they though? I know they've got fucked up descriptions but I'm never quite sure if it's because they're fucked up cyber hillbillies shooting up schools while the eaters laugh at them from space or if it's because the descriptions are intended to be as though they were described from the view of a furry mutant. A lot of the Qud descriptions are flowery to leave room for interpretation and imagination but it's also very likely I haven't seen some lore somewhere

Angband is a lie, Zot a joke:RETVRN to Moriahttps://umoria.org/history/
I remember running Mines of Moria and picrel on my 486SX
>Dungeons of Moria, - the original roguelike - > While there are some direct variants of Rogue, such as Brogue,[59] most variants of Rogue could be classified into two branches based on two key games, Moria and Hack, that were developed in the spirit of Rogue.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike#Moria-based
>>495218551here's the in-person dialogue boxexclusives:d. teaching thingse. trading itemsf. giving them items to useg. and holdh. guarding follower changeexclusive to radio communication is:f. please go to this locationn. please go to this location... (opens menu)o. stay at your current positionI don't actually know what the "please go to this place" dialogs do lol but you can ask them to read things from across the map>>495213280assuming you're actually a dev, change option m from "let's go" to "see you later" without changing its functionality but only for radio communication
>>495230139>assuming you're actually a devyeah, sometimes i do assume that.
>>495234715haha yeah I know that feeling, I have my own shitty javascript project to work on that I've been ignoring for a month despite people waiting for me to finish it lmao
Moria is the roguelike monomyth, but there are three approaches to delving the deep:- warrior: tactical. DCSS, ToME, DoomRL- wizard: puzzles. Nethack, Rift Wizard- rogue: stealth. Sil-q, Infra Arcana, CogmindSurvival simulators are roguelites, hence why they typically occur on the surface.
>>495205975Oh well, I don't really want to switch.
>>495242465
the snake fears the spiderI quite enjoyed Aranea. At level 50 you get a nice set of innate resistances (+ poison immunity as well) and the equipment restrictions aren't bad at all. Your bite attack is reasonably good and its paralyzing effect works on a lot more enemies than I expected (including a fair few uniques). The spider web you can create is also VERY nice, it's like a little scroll of forest creation. That got me out of lots of bad situations.I forgot to take a screencap at the killing blow so I had to use the one in the message log. Oops.
>>495243360It's been a while since I've seen a Serpent of Chaos kill. Congrats, homie.

>>495239078>Is the gameplay turn-based?That's a bad way of putting it, no roguelike I've heard of is turn-based. Turn-based implies that you take a turn to do stuff, then the enemy takes a turn to do things. Not how it works in a roguelike, time only moves forward when you do.
>>495251429>Turn-based implies that you take a turn to do stuff, then the enemy takes a turn to do thingsthat's exactly what happens in roguelikes, it's just that the enemy makes his turn instantly.

somebody was asking about the H&K operational briefcaseit's like this lmao
>>495319680Looks like overpriced trash
this is completely fucking useless
Am I retarded or is Time Dilatation CBM not working? It says it gives turns per power spent, but even spending over 5k power and attacking a monster once they just take a turn against me.
>>495319281GrFi of Mak.
>>495320665It was designed for the Secret Service. They sometimes need to stay close to politicians and diplomats in public, and openly carrying submachine guns would give off the wrong image, but they still want to maintain the readiness to hose down a crowd if they gotta. Solution: A briefcase with an MP5 mounted inside it, with a button on the handle to press the trigger.It's almost certainly overpriced, and quite useless for anyone who isn't trying to concealed carry an MP5.
Can someone help me understand something? I just had a blessed run in crawl end in the dumbest way possible. I died with maybe 10 heal wounds and another 10 curing potions. Here's what happened. Nothing was in my LoS so I rested but apparently there was a tyrant leech right outside my LoS that must've moved one tile closer to me and then struck my character while I was still resting, bypassing my 22 EV and 10 SH, and thus ending my run. How is that possible? I was slowed from fighting hornets but the slow wore off right before I died or possibly at the same time I was struck because it's the last thing in the log before it kills me. Would slow prevent my character from detecting a mob with 8 speed while resting? Like I just don't get it. I steamrolled everything as a fucking octopode up until I hit the suicide button.
>>495347420>Can someone help me understand something?Yeah, have sex.
>>495345732It's probably also useless for someone that wants to contain a concealed MP5, useless in actual combat, and a useless waste of time training personnel in its use. All for some vain deception to make armed guards look like something other than armed guards. Classic tax thievery case.
>>495347420Maybe it came from a corner while you were resting, and since you were slowed, it attacked the same turn as it moved.
>>495315271>you drown in 3 inches of running water>it was a funny angle

>>495378034Not him but the map is both very big and very empty. As a new player you might spend a small amount of time actually exploring before just fast travelling everywhere because there's simply nothing else to do. The things to do are all prewritten content with little substance (think bethesda quests) and almost no variance between runs, or randgenned unique NPCs that are about as interesting as dwarf fortress NPCs. In a nutshell, the procedural aspects fail to generate novel replay experiences while the non-procedural aspects fail to be particularly noteworthy at all.

So as a possessor, I'm not sure what sort of bodies I should prioritize.Should pick a body according to what sort of equipment I have? Or should I try to get specific bodies and gear up accordingly? Monsters with innate +10 speed like cats seems to be the best choice early game, but after that things get a bit murky. As a monster character you would naturally try and use monster bodies and not humanoid ones, but most of them are kinda ass.Also either I missed that part or it isn't stated clearly, but my natural stats overwrite body's stats if they are higher, right?
>>495391429Early on, anythingCyclops as soon as possibleUpgrade to a lesser titan if you wantFrom that point you can upgrade with higher level giant monsters or swap to dragons

>>495347924>to make armed guards look like something other than armed guardsThat's important, though. The armed guards need to be inobtrusive. You can't have the President surrounded at all times by men brandishing automatic weapons, it'd make him look like a military dictator.

In their minds, everything a person does has to be to get attention, or to gain social standing, or to be "recognized" as important. So they write it from their perspective and it basically just falls flat. The idea of somebody who creates things (videos, books, whatever) for the sheer pleasure of it is unfathomable to them.It says a lot more about them than it does about Malcolm Rose, a guy who gets paid $250 per DCSS run.

What other RLs have shit like MiBe or MiFi of Gozag/Oka/Qaz where it's basically not needed to use your brain much
>>495453308Path of achra has complex build making but the gameplay itself is braindead
>>495443873Anti-intellectualism has taken root in the west. Under anti-intellectualism, it never matters how correct you are. Only how loud you are.
>>495453808There is more build complexity than just checking some resist boxes and making number go up, but I wouldn't really call it "complex". You just choose a button to build around, and you pick the talents that scale the effects of that button exponentially, which typically aren't very high in number or diversity. Furthermore, as you climb the difficulties, the illusion of choice quickly collapses toward just picking OP shit rather than challenging you to execute the presented playstyles at higher levels of skill. Jupiter Hell has a very similar issue.

Mobile Base 2.0 is operational. All my hoarding needs are met, ramming enemies is pure joy with shock absorbers on everything, and with a bit of a boost from a fuel motor it can even fly.
I had the idea of a rougelike with a more heavy emphasis on randomly-generated npcs and the relationships between them and the player, with a open-ended word processor (ala games like wizardry 8), that lets you actually talk to a character via typing sentencesYou can ask them their opinions on various events, world history, and other characters, and they'd give their opinions and ideas on them, you could also teach them concepts about the world, and possibly even have them become enemies/friends/lovers depending on what you bring up and how you talk to them, as well as how your ideals intersect with theirs. This stems with the main problem i have basically all rougelike npcs, is that there's none with in-depth npc dialogue, despite some worlds being absurdly in-depth. it's typically simplified "Do this", "what is X", And "How do i do X". if there's a rougelike like this i haven't heard of it.

Okay I have an idea to add to my roguelike nowIt's just a weak point system where if you use specific attacks you can weaken the monsters. It's not meant to be arbitrary like dwarf fortress limb system.
>>495498815is this a way to make combat require more keystrokes or a way to make combat require filling out a checklist
>>495499374It isn't required to hit a weakpoint, it's just a choice. But the game is gonna be about building a team of 4 characters so it's about spreading enough utility across your team so you can tackle different scenarios.

Power Armour GET. The sad part is that I can't wear shit with it, you didn't tell me that.
>>495560049why do you think I was so excited about finding the leg mounts and weapon rack, anonhauling frame gets you 20L of storage space for cheap, but that's it pretty much
>>495561051I was lucky and in the same room I found power armor there was a hauling frame, weapon rack and two leg mounts. Also Flesh Pouch spell from either Magical Nights or Arcana can be used whilst wearing power armor, that is +25L of storage for 10 torso encumbrance.The problem is I fight with a Monomolecular Blade CBM. Can't win them all I suppose.
>>495561615can you not use the monomolecular blade while wearing power armor?
>>495561684You can, but weapon and leg mounts are redundant since you don't store monoblade, you activate it via bionics menu.
>>495505897I gave the Resurrection Machine a try but I had to escape because it wasn't going well. I hoped that my [Sm amulet would prevent enough summons to make it possible, but honestly the real problem is that so many of the uniques he summons just LOVE teleporting the player around, to the point I can barely even attack the Machine itself.What is the best way to get an amulet with "Prevents Teleportation"? I haven't found any so far this game somehow. Just continually shuffle the black market?
>>495561821the weapon rack lets you bring a really big gun with you for free for sniping flaming eyes at LOS range, anonleg mount is less useful but you can store tools in therethe really useful one is power armor magazine carrier, because then you can reload your big gun, but whatever

Just out of curiousity, but has anyone played this little gem?Its essentially a military autismo simulator with every shot calculated, but plays as a round based roguelike.You pick a campaign, then fight your way across the battlefield, levelling your crewmen and commander as you go.If your commander dies, its game over. If some of your crew die, they can be replaced. If your tank gets wrecked, you can bail out and get away with your lifes and perhaps a few wounds on you. I just wanted to shill it a little as it seems to be extremely unknown and I have neverre seen it discussed. I guess there isnt a whole lot of people who are into sims and roguelikes at the same time, so most never stumble on it.

>>495052029Not him but definitely don't pay for the first one. It's trash.I bought the second one thoughever. did it before the controversy because the dev actually went out of his way to research average salaries in third world countries and manually adjusted regional pricings to be cheaper in many of those regions despite his new prices being lower than the steam average. Kind of a bro move.
>>495620263What sucks about most explosives is they are not balanced for monster HP whatsoever. They'll shit all over NPCs because the explosion will hit every body part, but tankier monsters can have hundreds of HP and won't really care that much about explosions. Then there's also the fact that they're rare, bulky, and for the most part can't be crafted. The ones that can be crafted are dogshit and are hand operated. A character that can self-install bionics and craft superhuman serums shouldn't have that much difficulty making some non dogshit explosives and 40mm ammo.
>>495621753I actually thought the first one was a cool concept, but it desperately needed a deeper combat system for being a 100% pure murderhobo game. Was pretty disappointed to find out 2 was just going to be a sandbox.
>>495621557No. Someone told me a while ago this thread accepts rogueliTes as well now. Guess I was deceived?

>>495621945I loved the writing in the first one. It's a very compelling antagonist. As far as he is concerned - he is just reclaiming his property - literal pieces of himself, and observing the mortals like the god puppets they are. Especially since it turns out the gods themselves let the Devourer loosr on the mortals and their own pantheons.
>>495588191bonus dungeon in frogcomposband that you unlock after beating J. Starts at L555 (and L666 for Hell) so it's actually only 31 floors, not endless.
>>495622081>dunno sounds like you were talking with a double nigger to meWell nevermind then. Back to the namefag mines of /indie/ it is, then.
>>495622241Yeah, I liked the novel take on a "just kill everything" roguelike. The atypical map format offered interesting tactical variations compared to the usual labyrinth diving, and the map itself was surprisingly thoroughly built what with even things like roaming NPCs that travel between the settlements and the like. It had a lot of things going for it other than, as mentioned before, the combat.
>>495622576Kinda would have been cool to have a sandbox in that pre-built map, come to think of it. I figure he wanted to make a sandbox game like Soulash 2 from the start but he didn't have the funds so he scrambled to make this playthrough-based one until he had the funds to build the game he actually wanted. Shame about the map though, it really was quite cool.
Seems legit.

seeking entanglementHow to map the roguelike trichotomy to body, mind/spirit and soul/emotion?In the Elder Scrolls Three Fates cinematic, the warrior is body, the mage soul, and the rogue mind. However, the mage was a sorceress, not a wizard, and the rogue was a ranger, not a sneak-thief. In roguelikes a ranger is still a warrior, and the intuitive casting aspect of a sorceress that relates to soul is abstracted away by the limitations of the interface. Thus the relevant character references are Gandalf the wizard and Bilbo the thief. The former embodies mind and the latter soul.Does this make sense in application?- warrior: DCSS and ToME feel like exercises in courageous aggression tempered by caution.- wizard: Nethack et al feel like mental puzzle games, where cleverness trumps martial virtues- rogue: stealth perpetuates player tension, often enhanced by horror, testing the soul.In practice, we simply say a roguelike is tactical, puzzle or stealth-centric.It might be tempting to call roguelikes "einarlikes". However, the solo aspect of roguelikes is as common within videogames as it is rare in real life, and thus cannot serve as a distinguishing feature. The experience of stealthy scouting through randomized terrain was unique to roguelikes and justifies the name.
Actually, there might be a way for roguelikes to mimic sorcery's intuitive casting:Loom had a music-based magic system. Today with AI support, much greater sophistication would be possible.I don't think AI is anywhere near ready to generate game dialogue, but music is a different matter.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom_(video_game)Requiring the player to actually sing her skald spells would be based.Spell battles could test applied music theory.
>>495646519This looks like it would be a complete pain in the ass to play to be honest.
>>495652090Yeah, it would need to start as a spaced-repetition music memorizer to prevent tedium.First version would just be octave-insensitive chordless keyboard input. In time doubtless there will be musical roguelikes, but the complexity keeps it commercial for now I guess.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_video_gamehttps://keysandkingdoms.com/gamified-piano-lessons/https://www.museflow.ai
First try Sorcerer Ascetic, only sorcery spells, all spells have half the normal amount of charges.
>>495629835First one definitely isn't. Second one isn't right now, but it still has enough potential to become good.
Speak none but good of the Gods. We can have no opinions about Truth. Rumors flow from the House of Troubles. Count only the happy hours. No child has a sinner's heart. Let faith be your only law. Fear of the fool is the beginning of wisdom. Almsivi in every hour. Walk always in the presence of your Lords. Comfort is given, justice is taken. Learn by serving. From the heart, the light; from the head, the law. Blessed Almsivi, Mercy, Mastery, Mystery. Forge a keen Faith in the crucible of suffering. Engrave upon thy eye the image of injustice. Death does not diminish; the ghost gilds with glory. Faith conquers all. Let us yield to Faith. Better to suffer a wrong than to do one. The heavens are in their glory, applaud! Folly secures its power to harm. Though forbidden to some, not to you. Oh, how rarely wisdom rules our hearts! Blessed are we who serve Almsivi. Three mouths sing Mercy, Mastery, Mystery. Gather no seed in the fields of Hell. The Thrice-Sealed House withstands the Storm. By Breath and Blood protect us all! Can ghosts or justice change with time? Consider your end, mortal! Accept grace without limits. Enter the rhapsody of the God-Poet. Kneel before the Teacher's chair. Three Hands, three Hearts, three Eyes. Keep no secret from your Judge's scale. Forge Darkness into Light. Refuse neither brother nor ghost. Blessed Almsivi, through birth, life, ghost. From glowing ashes the Poet's wrath shall shine. If Vivec is for us, who can stand against us? Fate, monstrous and empty, the whirling wheel of evil. How black my heart, roasting fiercely?
Sorcerers cast intrinsic magic via charisma, which in DCSS is invocations. Thus the sorcerers are Deep Dwarf Makhleb (earth), Demonspawn (necro) and HOFE. DD was replaced by Djinni, whose intrinsic spells infringe on Veh, and blood-casting on Makhleb.

Finally playing DoomRL 3D for the first time and I'm confusedHow do I unload guns off the floor?How do I put extra guns in my inventory?
>>495711135does it use the AliensRL inventory system?
>>495711135If you're talking about JH, you don't. One of the biggest changes is that you get limited, dedicated gun slots and can't unload weapons. The latter isn't that big of a deal but the former is definitely a shame.
>>495712214ah it uses the AliensRL inventory systeminteresting
>>495711135>How do I unload guns off the floor?You don't.>How do I put extra guns in my inventory?You can only carry as many as your ready slots, so 3 weapons at the time.

>>495712841you should try playing AliensRL lmao
>>495712841Think of grenade launchers and rocket launchers as powerups. Just pick them up and shoot whatever you see until they are empty and their dropped ammo is expended. Do the same with grenades once your inventory is full.

>>495715831Different map, arguably more branches to choose from. Reworked equipment modding system with more to pick from. Bigger weapon list (SMGs are a trap). There are pros and cons, but most importantly it's just a different game and one can't play doomRL forever.
>>495715831It's a completely different game. I also tried to play it as if it was DoomRL 2.0, but the similarities are surface only.I also didn't like it at first because of that, but once I went into it with a different mindset, everything clicked and now I really like it a lot.
>>495716291>>495715831Also, if you want to play DoomRL again, they recently updated it to 0.9.9.8. It plays the same, but it has a couple new areas, some balance reworks, a new assembly and new bugs they also introduced with that update lol.

>>495753016It depends, early game its absolutely your best option, killing everything in one hit is the best defense. You just have to watch out for getting paralyzed by undead since you will die without getting another turn no matter how strong you are. If you can get paralyze resistance from an amulet or a pool it can even be good mid and late game, people have posted wins were they killed the final boss naked.
>>495755395> Ironically, this generally wouldn't include barbariansIt's usually safer for them than others since they are more likely to kill the opponent and not get hit back in return.>and especially not level 40+ barbarians.Even more damage is good so that you can one shot the bosses with your triple damage attack.
Don't really understand how to raid a lab. What is even in them which would justify the risk?Autodocs, autoclaves and CBM, yes, but are you going to spend weeks grinding the skills needed to actually install CBM? The chemicals all seem like junk, the chemistry tree is really interesting but honestly I can't work out what you would synthesize which couldn't be looted. Again are you raising a lab AND grinding chem?Manuals for high level crafts. Yes, those are worth. But they are random loot drops your probably going to pick up just from scientists. End level guns? I rarely find them, it's just not a good way to get them. Artefacts just get you killed even if you're walking around in a field. Until they change teleporting and nether balance they're just liabilities.
Red Sonja got too easy on normal difficulty. Started playing like a streaker, minimizing risk. Hadn't died in ages. Got bored and wizmoded Missing Eye; took two steps and got murdered by Ijjyb. Boredom cured. Now I can justify risky tactics such as Random Effects and the slightly-unpredictable but hilarious yak-jelly charge into Sonja and the ballistomycetes.You simply can't master the game on normal difficulty, because the strongest methods are neither the laziest nor safest. My walkthrough will set a new bar, but someone could certainly evolve it much further by playing above pre-Ru 1. No need for me to do so, since it will be the first Sprint walkthrough, period.Amazing that nobody recommends them as the logical step after the tutorial. No appreciation for focused rapid iterative feedback in this genre.It's like arguing that since every battlefield is different, bootcamp should be fully randomized too.Of course, if you can beat a sprint, the normal game is already boring and trivial, to be spammed through with macros until something interesting happens.I suspect many of nu-DCSS' changes are designed to prevent its bot from winning, so the devs don't feel obsoleted by their own AI. That would explain the urge to churn features and complexify magic beams. The bot is hand-programmed with very limited logic, so they're not competing against a true AI that would expose the farce. All they have to do is change the features fast enough to discourage elite player-programmers from keeping up, by e.g. removing Deep Dwarf, the most bottable race.50-game streaks are embarrassing, but a laughably-primitive bot that nevertheless obsoletes most of the playerbase undermines the game's claim to eliteness, demonstrating that it actually tests tedium, not intelligence. Meanwhile, removing cannibalism (by evil primitives) and racism (by Muslims) brings the game into compliance with Woke.Inshallah, Moria Crawl shall restore the Sword of Jihad's proper name!

>>495792074There is (it's this one)
>>495160771Only Elyvilon objected to Ashenzari's enslavement. She was overruled, but still refuses to endorse the violence done in the Dungeon.The prison is diabolically ingenious. If even a single rune remains, it regenerates the rest. The Dungeon inexorably draws Ashenzari's consciousness back, regrowing Orb and runes from the power of the lives lost within, which feed the demon lords. This takes time, during which Ashenzari is free to return to her beloved sky -- though too weak to do anything but drift with the wind, her power siphoned off into the growing Orb.The runes of power are cursed anchors, infusions of divine essence that brand themselves to the delver's flesh. Similarly, the Orb vanishes when the delver touches it, forming a third eye that allows Ashenzari to perceive her surroundings. These set the delver's feet on the path to godhood, but require lengthy rituals outside the Dungeon to assimilate.Yet there is a way to free her. Every prison has an exit, every curse a key. This was the bet the gods of mortals made with Ashenzari: That mortals would never be worthy to know the Truth.If a mortal collects every rune, seizes the Orb, and then rejects godhood, sacrifices himself instead in the deepest lava pit of Gehenna, where the runes of power were forged -- then the Orb will be unmade, and Ashenzari shall return to the skies.It is said that in that day, she will use her chains to pull down all the gods, save one. They have bloated themselves on her power; it will conduct her wrath. Whether any mortals besides her savior survive that Storm, is an open question...

The good old "playing felid is not a roguelike" meltdown. It's been a while since we've had one of these.

desu elona says you climb out of the grave, not come back to life, so it's permadeathit's just that everything other than ether corruption is so bad at actually mortally wounding you instead of incapacitating youmaidensnow is the same way, all the monsters are just trying to rape you, so it's not that easy to die in combat even though you ultimately still can
>>495857623I think you misunderstood how blood of life works. The description is quite misleading, it actually makes your death message display twice in the chat.
>I don't know what anything means, and I'm MAD about it
>>495858315spermadeath:monster babies are forever
>>495783351I guess that might work as a high-risk-high-reward style of play, which is something I generally shy away from.
>>495858323Is permadeath defined at the game over screen or is it with the biological death of the character that you're playing as? Does winning after becoming in a lich in TOME count as a win? Is Quasimorph permadeath?
>>495842817wrong
>>495842817correct
>>495859529The purest form of permadeath is a game over and save end state other than the intended victory condition. Which, actually, almost every SP game has by default. I don't think Quasimorph is one of them though.
>>495860120The purest form of permadeath is killing the player.Only Starcraft is a roguelike.(dehydrated gooks hardest hit)
>>495859483https://www.adom.de/forums/showthread.php/13158-YAVP-True-Berserk-BarbarianNot mine but I've gotten pretty far with that kind of character and it's very strong.
If I like a game that means it counts as real permadeath. If I don't like a game then it's not a roguelike.
>>495860546Starcraft doesn't have rogue turns nor does it place you in control of only a single character so it cannot be a roguelike.
just watch the video >>494979615
>>495862365Starcraft has custom maps that fit that criteria so it's a roguelike.
>>495863019Imagine how much autism this general could dodge if people just pointed to the video.>https://youtu.be/-13LUfagQhY?t=542
>>495859529Permadeath is when the avatar's ability to act upon the current world using the player's free will is severed irreversibly. So bodily death is not permadeath if the player can still willfully act in the world using their soulless undead body. Same is true if you permanently possess another creature and then kill your old body in qud for example. However this also means that death is not required for permadeath; if you're character is permanently mind controlled you are also permadead despite the character still being alive. Robots can therefore also permadie despite not ever being alive. Playing as a clone or offspring are therefore also not permadeath as they inherit the player's goals and knowledge. Finally, seeing a game over screen is therefore not sufficient to mean permadeath, as in ToME you can use the blood of life and continue acting in the world. Reloading a save at game over is arguably not permadeath as by loading you essentially time travel to a parallel world that is identical up to the save and whilst you could argue that the player's connected to the original world is fully severed and the character is therefore permadead in that world. They are not permadead with respect to the multiverse as the player retains the knowledge of a possible future that they can use in the new world.
>>495863910>ToME is accepted as a roguelike by even the most autistic of roguelike fansEvidently not
>>495850882wrong
>>495865369based. only true death, entry into an afterlife, and the incarnation of a new individual soul from one's Higher Self via rolling a new character and beginning with a randomly seeded game counts as permadeath.
anything less dispatches a reaper
If the game doesn't destroy your CPU, then it's not permadeath.

How the hell do I win with a Tengu? What's the point of this species? They have 2 aux attacks which remove survivability in favor of melee damage, which would be fine if they didn't slap a -20% HP penalty on top.

>>495865369Save/load feature is closer to precognition to time travel, this is because you can't time travel back or forward to a save that doesn't already exist. Your character observes a possible series of events and, if the outcome is bad, abandons it to start viewing a new one. Deleting or overwriting old saves means your character has accepted one sequence and realized it through action, whereas creating alternate saves is basically memorizing multiple possible routes without yet realizing one. Loading is the aforementioned abandonment of the current route to start again from another point in explored timeline. Permadeath in a game with save/load is when your realized route is actually cornered into a state in which achieving victory is impossible, which can and actually does happen in regular play, as some games like FFT are famous for.
>>495877552closer to precognition than to time travel*

yeah
>>495877552Sure, I largely agree, however I still think save/load is better thought as a limited form of time travel/divergence instead of a form precognition. Calling it a precognition implies that the world your experiencing isn't real as opposed to time travel where the world is real. So when playing a save/load game ask yourself this; is this reality or a precognition? The answer would have to be that you don't know until you either load or finish the game. Until one of those occur, you exist in a superposition between reality and unreality, but this is clearly nonsense as it has to be one of them, even if you don't know which one yet - the world does not retroactively change as you gain knowledge about it. In the same way that a game either has or has no permadeath regardless of if you know about it. If you complete a roguelike first try without ever dying you couldn't possibly know if the game has permadeath or not, but it would be incorrect to say that the game wasn't a permadeath game until you die your first time. It was always a permadeath game, you just didn't know it yet. In the same way I think you need to accept that all playthroughs are real; because any one of them could be real, all of them must be real as to not cause a causality loop. Alternatively you could say that all playthroughs are precognitions and when you win you can imagine that the character then repeats all the exact actions from their vision, without us having to see and do it, just like Qud or ToME handle their in-game precognition abilities where you just select which version of events you wish to perform and it is implied to be repeated by the character without the player having to literally repeat everything again. Pic unrelated

>>495945012Iirc, the holographic is the best one? I don't usually pay that much attention to sights desu, my main concern is usually size.

>he's still seethingWhy don't you spend your time developing something that doesn't just make the game more tedious instead of crying about a better branching project?
My custom mods for the main is a better branch, its alot easier to unfuck than whatever those dipshits have done.
>>495933065>when playing a save/load game ask yourself this; is this reality or a precognition? The answer would have to be that you don't know until you either load or finish the game.I don't think there's a major concern of that being the case, because time travelers can be killed. If a save point is a time machine, then it still doesn't give a corpse the ability to walk back to the time machine to come back to life. Precognition on the other hand does not have this issue, aside from being broken by the precognition itself (quitting the game), or allowing oneself to be trapped (unwinnable save state). All real action is automatically performed by the player character once you choose to collapse the future timeline into the present. This is arguably why so many games have you make a "you've won the game" save, even in games that don't have post-game content: A time traveler might consider the game won as soon as they see the ending, but a precognitive vision of the ending cannot be considered such until they've actually identified the win state, through saving, in order to let the real self act on that route.
>>495947445>>495946285If the way aiming works hasn't changed too much, you use the best stat of each sight. You'll get the best of both worlds if you use both a low dispersion scope and a high speed laser, mitigated by the penalties of higher weight/volume.
>>495955837You obviously havent seen rezero.

Hey anyone got any tips for not sucking at ADoM? I'm absolutely insane and starting as a Farmer of all things, instead of an archer or caster. And no, I don't need the basics, I've played a few roguelikes before. Actual roguelikes.

>>495968415Farmer isn't that bad. You're supposed to grind gardening early on, that's their main class feature
>>495970165At best, I completed the Dog quest. At worst, I somehow get evaporated on floor 1 of the tutorial dungeon. Still. for the 6 hours I've been playing, it's been alright.

>>495966210True. I'm still a bit shaken from my last octo death at the bottom of Lair which ended in a couple turns after getting petrified by a basilisk so I just kept MR topped off.
>>495971750Also the dog quest is more of a personal challenge zone, the game will be easier if you skip it on most characters.Stick with the village dungeon, infinite dungeon and the caverns of chaos.I usually start my characters in the small cave though, it gets harder the higher level you are and you can just find end game equipment there sometimes. You will die very quickly though if you get bogged down there and level up too much.

Get gardening up to somewhere around maybe 60 before trying to use it and do so as quickly as you can. Then start farming. I could give you some further advice on this subject, but I'd need you to answer the first question so I know how much you'd like me to tell you and how much you want to figure out for yourself.>>495974774>the dog quest is more of a personal challenge zoneThis is also true. Either the cute puppy or the player character (or both) dies in almost every game and you're generally better off not really trying to rescue it until you know what you're doing a lot better (and often not even then). You can go into the Puppy Cave, but you shouldn't try going any farther in than is easy/profitable, at least not at first.
