>>552938039Burn it down.
Luna really breaks No-Skin in half. I read the dev saying she's intended to be kind of like a "God Mode" so you're not frustrated trying to find the final secrets, but it might have made more sense to not allow using her for the "prestige" difficulties, even though it is kind of like the last little extra thing you might do. Kind of like how Inscryption's Kaycee's Mod rebalances some of the more broken things.

I am playing Silksong for the first time and I am loving it as much as everyone else seemed to love the original Hollow Knight.>>552298184>>552929432The gauntlets are harder than most of the other stuff in the game but none of them have been all that bad for me outside of the one with two of those huge cone spider gys with the scythes.The only time I have felt like anything has been outright bullshit is that second Savage Beastfly fight because Jesus fucking Christ.
Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
I don't know if it's blind shitty luck or what, but I've been trying out random games I've gotten free with Prime over the years and THEY. KEEP. INVOLVING. DEAD/DOOMED. KIDS.>The MC's sister was dead all along>The MC was dead all along>The weird boy is the aged up ghost of the MC's aborted fetus trapped in hell and also there's a dead girl that made her brother help her commit suicide to escape visions of the future/harassment from a cosmic horror.>The MC's clone gets shot and the MC kills herself>The MC's sister was dead all along (gets better through time fuckery). Also, there's an evil cult engaged in child sacrifice.>The MC's ally is actually an immortal being that jumps from host to host, subsuming the personalities of his victims, and his sickly daughter will eventually have to be his next host or dieI've played 9 fucking random narrative games and it KEEPS FUCKING HAPPENING. Is the team picking games to give away doing this shit on purpose? This is getting demoralizing.
>>552960386Jesus fuck, man. I mostly seek out dark and horror games and I can't say that I have had that issue.What games?
>>552960386Dead family/kids is really easy drama points.
I'm playing kingdom hearts for the first time in about 20 years. I remember the game having hard as fuck bosses but that was a long time ago. Surely they won't cause me any problem now that I'm an adult. Yeah, no. It took me an hour to beat Riku on destiny island and about 40 minutes to beat the jungle's boss. And I was way overlevel and overequipped.
>>552960748>Evan's Remains (puzzle platformer)>Night Reverie (cutesy puzzle adventure game)>Kathy Rain (twin peaks style point and click game)>Republique (stealth game)>Tormented Souls (survival horror game)>Adam Wolfe (urban fantasy hidden object game)I wasn't even seeking out dark games, ffs. Hell the game with explicit horror elements are the least depressing ones. You undo your sister's death in the horror game and the immortal monster in the urban fantasy game at least implies he's got a sort of collective consciousness going on and isn't raising his daughter as a sacrifice but as a future part of himself.
>>552962271KH1 doesn't fuck around. Have fun with Sephiroth.Still not as hard as Re:Coded.
>>552930915>>552931154Ya, something is going on with holy right now that no one can figure out. It just does way more damage then it seems like it should. I think there is a talent to reduce holy damage pretty early on the tree. And walls do stack. When ever it says damage reduction its reducing the "damage rate" parameter which is just a final multiplier after damage formulas. All modifiers to that are multiplicative though. Maybe you didnt find them, but I know there are greatshields with like 80% damage reduction, so if you threw on a similar armor and some walls you'd be down to a few % of damage. Don't forget to buff the angels. Looks like I was lv100 for tv, and 140 for the final boss. But this was almost 2 years ago on a completely different balance and on normal. Again, NG+ would be quicker and you could check the areas you missed and maybe even cosmic color, the super dungeon that persists between NG+ loops.
>>552964252that's a a man
>>552964450Maybe you can find a really old build of the game that still used RTP faces. Might help with the girlcock obsession.
>>552964252>no one can figure outAny sufficiently long running rpgmaker game is effectively an arcane ritual in how things actually continue to work in it. Multiple blood sacrifices must be made for major alterations.
>>552966720The project file isn't even encrypted, so I can just go look at how things work, but it is truly a game made with hopes and dreams(and spaghetti).This editor is a huge pain in the ass to use as well.
In my first playthrough of book of hours I contaminated half my reading room before I noticed the maladied card I used to get memories could contaminate books. None of the visitors complained. >>552937418Acid? Where?
>>552969613The liquid that was on him shifted into acid I guess.
>>552969613The fungal shift changed something to acid.I have no idea WHY, but two bursts of acid appeared alongside the fungal shift eye effect.
>>552966720>the Mechanicus are just RPGMaker devs centuries into a project
>>552966720>>552976796I think it was Victoria II where the guy who implemented the economic system no longer works there and allegedly nobody has any idea how it works anymore
>>552962323I like Tormented Souls, still need to play the sequel.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3276190/The_War_of_the_Worlds_Siberia/I forgot about this game until the newest December gameplay appeared on my feed. The mechanics are obviously just ripping off The Last of Us, but I'm impressed that it's made on Unity. The animations and cutscene transitions look surprisingly slick to me. It feels like all the technically impressive 3D indie games lately are on Unreal, which of course has drawbacks. What are some other standout Unity games?
>mining book of hours>The precepts of occlusion and dissolution; their jealous enforcement is the nature of the Calyptra >嫉妬深い = Deep jealousy>嫉妬, jealousy/envy, has... double woman 女 radicalNip characters/radicals can be funny. Also you can spot AK's linguist background in how Maggephene mysteries is impenetrable in English, but 疫病の謎 is immediately identifiable as having to do with sickness because it's got TWO of the Sickness 疒 radical, and flat out uses 病, which means sickness (If you get a soul card ill, it's called 病). It's also present in the very common Hospital word 病院
>>552970145I believe every instance of text/special effects are considered in-wotld particles as well. If I recall correctly, you can vary rarely fungal shift the temple portals to another color because they are [fire particle #31] or some shit like that. Perhaps you shifted something used for those the eye effect? I could be totally wrong.Post Noit wands, boys.
>>552989009>nipThey're Chinese characters and in Chinese half of the character is meant to be a rough pronunciation aid. It doesn't help at all in Japanese since it only applies to 1 of the possible Chinese readings. It barely even helps in Chinese because it doesn't tell the tone at all.You're pretty much kicking open doors with that since radicals haven't had any real meaning in a few thousand years. In fact in Chinese specifically, separate characters haven't had significant relation to each other in close to 2 thousand years. That's a pre-sanguo era remnant.It's pretty much like if you looked at old ass Latin and Greek and said "HEY ISN'T IT WEIRD HOW HOMOPHOBIA MEANS FEAR OF SAMENESS????".
I'm surprise so few neo-retro games use modern hardware structure to recreate canned or underused ideas from the retro era. Nowadays, nothing would stop a game from implementing stop'n'swap, "lock-on technology" or other stupid ideas. It feels like the only games that use that kind of stuff are the same that did it 20 years ago. Big studios that read your "memory card" to unlock a skin or something for the new game. I mean, wouldn't it be a fun way for a sequel to an indie game to add an item that you have to collect in the first game that is then given to you and used in the second game? You can even update games very easily nowadays. Instead we get a modern banner on the main menu with "wishlist the sequel on steam" or some shit like that.
>>552995363It's still funny, and it's not reliable but sometimes it lines up. I can see why conan has so many puns and dialect cases. And 疒 's common occurrences still relate to sickness a lot: 痛 (pain) 症 (symptom) 疲 (exhausted) 痢 (diarrhea) 療 (heal) 癒し (healing).
>>552970145>>552989182I once had the particle effect that appear from floating around turn to acid, lets just say I didnt live for long afterward.
>>552997642That's called etymology and semantics anon. No one really cares about radicals other than linguistic nerds, it's fairly common for Japanese to refer to Kanji components as radicals even though it's linguistically wrong. The Wikipedia page on semantic features gives a very good example of how things like that works in English so I'm just gonna copy it.>A semantic feature is a component of the concept associated with a lexical item ('female' + 'performer' = 'actress'). More generally, it can also be a component of the concept associated with any grammatical unit, whether composed or not ('female' + 'performer' = 'the female performer' or 'the actress').It's just a different interpretation of concepts you already know and use all the time without realizing it. I guess it's a bit interesting to learn about that but it's not exactly that special or unique.
>play noita>hiisi base>dieI hate it here
>>553000920It's not new functionally, but it's new because it's convergent evolution in an entirely different writing system. One day I'll be able to read moon, and this helps.
She's such a boring, introverted Goody Two-Shoes with an aggressive intentionally asymmetric tumbler design. Zagreus also has heterochromia for no reason, but he was at least witty and somewhat masculine. Melinoë is just a boring nerd on a mission.
>>553001928Is hades 2 at least good if you're not playing to ship and stick it to the patriarchy
>>553002062I have no idea. I only played the original Hades. Hades 2 was made during the Biden presidency, so it's extremely woke and I won't play it.
>>553002062We just want to be represented in videogames.
>play vintage story with framerate capped to 60 fps>stutters and feels like shit>uncap it>runs perfectly smooth You can't explain that...
>>553001928I marathoned hades for like 20 minutes and was bored as shit. Might as well go pick up the Iliad and read the original source, rather than playing some tumblr ass Greeks were hecking tolerant homosexuals fanfic.
>>553003785>I marathoned hades for like 20 minutes
>>553003961Chillax, he's obviously a superman who can run 30miles in 20 minutes. So it makes a lot of sense for him.
>>553002062It's Hades 1 with more mechanics, worse weapons except for 2, and a shitload of grinding if you want everything
>>553003425It probably happens because the game make a lot of stuff run on the graphical gpu, not just the graphics per se.
>>552997642>picI really need to get myself a fisheye lens one of these days
>>553001016Temple of the art is worse imo, so many tough enemies that huge bullshit magic effects, invincible ghost enemies and resistances to most basic spell types make it effectively impossible if you dont have a good wand. But I cant deny the hiisi are annoying, lost count of how many times I died to those grenade launching ones, I swear they have partial home in
Meet Charlie.
this game fuckswhy nobody told me about it before
>>553020625No tinkering runs are comfy. I beat the game with a bootleg ass propane tank wand I'd never in a million years fuck with cuz of the challenge.
Honestly didn't even think that BoH might include minor victoriesNice that it does, but having come so far it just doesn't seem worth it. In Cultist Simulator you at least could use them to reset a messed up run or to escape the pressure of a game over. Here there is really no reason to not keep going...except the fear of what I might unearth beneath
>>553025928Looks like a faster Overload.
>>552989182>I believe every instance of text/special effects are considered in-wotld particles as well.That would mean some ui elements are considered in-world. No way, I don't believe that.Most gasses can be shifted which is probably the answer here, but it really looks like the eye spawned two condensed pixels of something that turned into acid and burst forth.You can also see it's not smoke from the fire that got shifted, there are smoke particles still around.
>>553001016Usually at that point I have built some fuckhuge bullshit wand that makes everything explode, which is totally useless in the close quarters and I kill myself.
>>553025928it's just descent?

>>552964252>And walls do stack. When ever it says damage reduction its reducing the "damage rate" parameter which is just a final multiplier after damage formulas. All modifiers to that are multiplicative thoughAlright, that's good to know. I appreciate the advice.My top shields give about ~40% damage resistance ;_;>NG+ would be quicker and you could check the areas you missedI'm sure this is good advice that I should take, but unfortunately, I am insane and categorically refuse. I'll hit NG+ after I win.As an example of this, I ran into an enemy called "Placeholder 2" in a Poetry of Blood, which had no sprite, hit for 10k+ damage, and had something like 250k HP. I know it had roughly that much HP because Alex managed to dodge its instakill basic attacks long enough that its AI broke, and I proceeded to smack it for 300 (growing) damage for about 45 minutes irl. I thought its xp value might be as broken as its health. It wasn't. 25 gold and like 120 xp.
>>553040079Always has been. Man that genre doesn't get enough love. You'd think it'd have another big title by now, but nope.
>>553046290Good luck anon.
>>553046297I don't think a genre that justifies itself entirely by how novel 3D is will ever be big again, but there's some throwback games now and then.
Bro why the fuck is clay so god damn rare in Vintage Story? It feels 100x as rare as diamonds in minecraft.
>>553046297
Should I replay Pizza Tower? It's right here, and apparently it's been updated a lot.>>553047898It get worse, Anon. You end up needing a lot of fire clay to advance to iron.
clay being rare is retardedit's just dirt with a specific compositionyou can literally make it out of other dirt by mixing or filtering it to get the right consistency
>>553049479Yep. But then you'd have less loot and thus less reason to explore the world.
>>553049279 (Dead)I've been running around the world for a fucking hour. I've seen slate, slate gravel, sandstone, granite, gravel, and 500 different types of rock that should have just been clay. The wiki says "durrr it's near low elevation and like ummm where it doesn't rain too much and if you see gravel that's wrong" Nice faggot game retards.
>>553049479Depends on the use case. Specific types of clay with both the right proportions of mineral-water-organics content and to an extent the right minerals as well is pretty important when it comes to anything involving firing. A lot of that is for high quality pottery and stuff though, I'm not sure how important as much of it is when the goal is "a mostly round thing that can hold some amount of water".
>>553050169I saw...Lava lake near the core, Kratos from God of War, mushroom spore, liquor store, statue of dumbledore. Wooden shed with a bed, spiders and the undead, arrowhead, loaf of bread, giant spool of golden thread.
>>553050169I remember in Terrafirmacraft at some point certain latitudes/climates/whatever basically didn't have clay, I'm not sure if that carried over to Vintage Story.
>>553049479It's right there
>>553050169You only ever find something if you're not looking for it. I've found clay on paths I've traveled 20 times before, only after I was full with loot from nearby ruins.High-fert soil though? Yeah no that can fuck off, that shit's impossible to find legit.
>>553052761Clay is literally the only way to progress in the game though. What am I supposed to do? Run around for 20 hours as a hunter gather, crafting shovels every 5 minutes in the hopes I might just find a single block of clay? This game is ass.
Blackthorn's pretty fun.
>>553053197You can make Fire Clay by:1. Cooking Flint in a campfire2. Grinding the Powder that is made from thatAnd then the recipe which you should be able to look up. It requires no terrain restrictions.
>>553055274To note you'll need red or blue clay, but those are much easier to find, obviously.
>>553050169>slate, slate gravel, sandstone, granite, gravel, and 500 different types of rockAre you mixing up clay and claystone? Clay can be found in large patches in soil don't go looking for it in the deserts. It can grow grass on top but it looks different than normal soil.Also don't use the piss map. Fully colored map can help finding stuff on the surface easier. Clay appears sligtly discolored grass.It used to be the default, but you can turn it on with/worldconfig colorAccurateWorldmap trueYou'll need to exit and load back your save for it to work.
I was excited for halloween town. Man that world is ASSSSSSSSSSSS. I was level 27 when I got there and only getting to the manor took 20 minutes and got me to level 31. Fucking endless gauntlet in a tiny map with enemies that deal 75% of your health per hit. The real battle of the 1000 heartless is getting to oogie's manor!
>>553058234>ASSSSSSSSSSSSCareful, you'll summon Haydee anon from hell
>>553046297this game is fucking amazingper-level progression separate from equipment/weapon upgrades via power system so it doesn't feel stale and makes you think about which rooms to clear and whenenemy ai FUCKS on higher difficulties. smarter ships avoid and shoot down your traps, set up ambushes, prefire around corners and take advantage of ricochetting/clustering weapons. every enemy has unique ai and design except a few variations. enemy infighting and different factionsthe strongest enemies are other desecrators on the same ship but with different equipment who can steal your lootprocedural secrets feel quite natural and are actually quite difficult but not impossible to find and levels are varied with different types of enviroments, styles, and underwater areasa ton of different playstyles from a crazed flamethrower melee minespammer to a careful sniper who uses sentries for checking out new roomsvery good exploration pacing with how you have to light areas up/check around corners/look for secret telegraphs where you can make a ton of use of your utilities like the projectile camera or minesamazingly polished and i never got lost or confused thanks to the map, despite the fact that a singular room can change gravity multiple times while you traverse it
>>553058491Is it as good as Overload? >procedural map generation...ah. Too bad.
>>553058692they feel like handcrafted filler levels and the game has won some sort of an award for procgen apparentlythis doesn't impact the quality of gameplay at all, ai is great at navigating it, and boss rooms are still static

Are there any games like Terra Invicta but good? More towards the "secret conspiracy fighting others" angle, don't really care one way or another about the sci-fi angle.

>>553065520Thanks, I'll check it out
Just passing through since I saw the name was in the OP : I started playing Void Stranger a few weeks ago and this is genuinely the first time in forever a game managed to give me chills simply by its sheer artistic vision. Absolutely incredible game so far, can't stop thinking about it.
>>553068663I really want to get into Void Stranger but keep falling off of it...
>>553068775Same. I can tell I would absolutely love it but I am too retarded for it and keep getting frustrated and taking long breaks. By the time I get back to it I feel like I need to restart to properly take in the (very good) story.I haven't played Lorelei and the Laser Eyes since I am pretty sure the same shit will happen.
>Playing palworld>trying desperately to find a mod that puts a compass dot towards the nearest lifmunk>nothing like this exists. Fuck it, I guess I'll download free lifmunk upgrade mod instead.
>>553071475I played Lorelei when it released and it's a far, far easier game, everyone can beat it if they set their mind to it. The only times I was stuck was because of a note I forgot to interact with and because I wrote the number one as "1" instead of "I" for a single puzzle.Something not often mentioned about the game is its story which I found really touching/bittersweet once you get to the ending.You do need to like puzzle game to enjoy it though.
>>553064049Your question is answered by the post you're replying to.
>>553047898you've probably passed by a whole bunch and not seen it, it's infuriatingly easy to just overlook
>>553047898Its not, you can easily spot it on the color map...There is also a vintage story general on vm just so you know
>>553046290Also, don't forget about the poet of metal. You should be getting shards from the well.
love this nigga
>>553071475>>553068775>>553068663Treat it as the kind of game where you take screenshots and notes of things. Something that might just look like lore is probably relevant to the meta puzzles. It has some clear la-mulana blood in that regard.
>>553047143>I don't think a genre that justifies itself entirely by how novel 3D is will ever be big againMan I just want some more decent mech games with 6 degrees of freedom. Or some non-Star Wars space fighter games.
>>553080757Someone should finish painting those pokéballs.
>>552967089I don't know why it took this long to figure out. I've look at the formulas a bunch of times but I guess I'm a dumbfuck. Your defensive stat is supposed to reduce the attack power a 2nd time after the initial calculation, but it looks like the dev forgot a parentheses so the 2nd half of the formula actually divides your defense before it's applied to the attack power. One of the holy aoe spells is (a.mdf * 30) - (b.mdf * 70) / (v[21] + b.mdf / v[21])I think all the formulas are like this now, but I can't check atm. I'm curious why it's so noticeable on holy.
I wish my workplace would just pay me to play /indie/ games instead actually sometimes they do unknowingly
>>553003785ancient greek famously known for their intolerance toward homosexuals
>>553097709Examining the ancient sources in general indicates that preference was controversial at best in greek society. Greek philosophers had much to say negatively regarding sexual relations between males. When it comes to greek mythology, it is almost exclusively associated with the explicitly debaucherous and malevolent satyrs.It would be safe to say the ancient greeks shared what instinctually disgusted them with most humans. Them likely having higher proportions of heterosexuals among the general populace than modern western populations, one would assume the overwhelming majority of greek society would be at the very least off-put by homosexual intercourse.Rather, it appears a strangely intense highlighting of fringe art pieces, statistical manipulation and intentional or accidental misinterpretation of words and passages has created a skewed image of ancient greek society regarding this topic in the public consciousness, similar to the historically incorrect understanding of the frequency of witch hunts and accompanying executions in pre-industrial europe.
>>553047931I was actually watching a tech demo and comparison of the original descent to this remake and I have to admit I don't know what it is with the original sprite set, maybe nostalgia but I like it more than this kinda techno-cyberpunk dance club look.

Panic bump
>>553123492>HighfleetI absolutely love the setting and the mapmode cat and mouse game but as great as they look, sound and feel, I'm not a fan of the realtime battles. Especially with how you fight all the enemies at once with one ship at a time. So having a bigger fleet just gives you the chance to outlast them.I think in a perfect world the fleet encounters would be some sort of RTS battle
>>553078041>vintage story general on vm I'm sure that thread gets 2 posts a month.
>>553123492>>553127209I'm still waiting for my fucking tabletop, turn based, tactical ship combat game.
>>553127209At least adding guns to hammerfight was an improvement. Did not like that mess.
>>553047898I see this sentiment a lot but could never relate. I always had more clay than I knew what to do with, unless they changed the worldgen since then.The biggest problem in that regard was at best finding only blue or only red clay.Maybe it's because I usually travel a lot before deciding for a spot for my home base and mark any resources I come across on the way
>>553127820It's more like /indie/ on a slow day. If you ask questions or blogpost your game or whatever, you can get a couple of replies.
>>553049479It isnt rare, its just easy to miss especially if you travel across biomes with a lot of greeneries, I recommend you search grassy biomes.
i find this kind amateurish art charming but damn i cannot take dramatic moments seriously

>>553134189game?
Finished Blue Prince Dare Mode on Day 5, I think mostly because the Dares were not much of a problem (must draft first rooms shown in the first room, limit on fusebox, must open boxes, end each day with at least 1 gem).This one makes me laugh.
>>553138879Lucky. There are some evil ones.
>>553139869Yeah I had a few runs I decided were not really possible due to shit like "never enter the same room more than 3 times". That's just masochism at that point; the game isn't streamlined enough for it to be fun to bash your head against it THAT hard.
>>553137839A Song Of Sunlight
>>553134189same, humor is my default
This shit is so tedious that I kinda wish I never even found clay.
>>553156972You can press F to pick the mode that repeats the last "floor".And ironically, this tedious shit is why I like Vintage Story: crafting is actually as time-consuming as adventuring, so if you're playing with a bloke, you get to actually take your time crafting shit while your mate Paul's getting to meet the wildlife and pet a bear.I could tell you so many stories...
>>553156972that's why I always say: Vintage Story is Minecraft but better, unless you're not part of the hyper specific target audience, then it's Minecraft but boring>>553157567Honestly I miss the magic of the first playthrough of figuring out the techtree and everything. Now I can get to metalworking in a couple of play-sessions if I wanted to. I've actually been mulling over doing a deliberately slow run though, one where I have to migrate every time advance to a new "age".>crafting is actually as time-consuming as adventuringNot only that I love that crafting has an actual space requirement. In Minecraft (at least when I played) you could do 100% of your crafting in a 2x2 shitbox + storage. So when you built a dedicated blacksmithy it was purely for aesthetic reasons. While in Vintage Story metalworking actually needs the space that can justify dedicating a whole room or building to it
>>553157567>>553159152The autism is growing on me. I'm currently cooking a boar I hunted while waiting forever for all my clay shit to finish.

>accidentally double clicked right click when I was trying to pick up my pot and now it's in a perma fucked up spotI'm back to hating this autistic game.
>>553160817Hell yeah.Speaking of clay I just love the process behind it all so much. The fact that you have to dig up a hole, fill it with various resources and then let it burn (ideally protected from rain) while you go do some other stuff is just so appealing to me. And when I learned about charcoal making I was instantly sold on the game>>553161593I remember the very first gameplay I saw was some dude making a stone knife and I frankly just couldn't quite fathom it.Also I think the first screenshot was some guy on /indie/ showing off his greenhouse and that was just so cool, that the game recognizes a certain type of room an adjusts the rules accordingly.Though on that note I'm a little sad that the room-detection still seems kinda wonky. I think most of my builds all count as outside because of size, block usage or something else entirely>>553162994:(
>>553163549Yeah, I heard people have been having a lot of issues making cellars.
>dude links me some shithttps://youtu.be/yVptueTMwt0"this seems kinda cool, when's it coming out?">released in 2023https://store.steampowered.com/app/2383920/Full_Quiet/Why have none of you niggers mentioned this 8-bit kino? Anyone tried it, reviews seems solid enough?
>>553162994Pretty sure you can displace pots, they dont get destroyed from "breaking" them, unlike the pots found in ruins.
>>553163549I dont think interiors have a limited size per se, maybe you have a spot that is opened to the outside? Iirc holes in walls are a no go until you get window shutters which i think require planks aka a saw, also make sure all the corners of the house are filled properly. Did you build your house in a ruin?
>>553001016>steamrolls everything in your no-hit run down to the Jungle>>553134189Why? Webcomics looked like that for 20(+) years, and Spirou seemed to do well enough?
>>553166186I think some blocks like roofs and chiseled blocks don't count as enclosing a room. Makes sense on one hand since they could leave holes in the structure, but still a bit annoying if you don't want to put an extra layer of blocks under your roof for instance.
>>553163549I think the room requirements are 15x15x15 max and all wall blocks have to have over half voxel volume.
>>553165552We can't be everywhere at all times anon also I'm not one for platform shooting
Waiting for my rice pilaf to finish simmering has me feeling like I'm playing vintage story IRL.
Question pertsining to tome4;Is there any steamtech that can be applied to shields? Google is just giving me unrelated shit about shield, and I was wondering if it was possible because I was seeking what to add to my shield warden, and sadly it seem I cannot put acid coating on it whoch would have been dope.
>>553165552Looks neat. I'll add it to the pile.
>>553177038Oops wrong thread lmao
Here's a fun fact I remember from an extremely long time ago about neverland in kh1. The secret of the clock is coded in a very funny way. For whatever reason, it's not coded with a basic modulo operator but instead it follows a table. A 400 hours table to be exact. After that, the clock is broken and doesn't work anymore. No one would naturally see that in normal gameplay unless you play at speed 3 and try to grind level 100 on destiny island I guess.I've been trying to post this for about 6 hours. I finished hollow bastion and the entire coliseum by now...

Greetings nerds.I am looking for more metroidvanias to play, please recommend me some you think I haven't heard of. I don't like roguelikes much anymore (I'm too reckless for them).Some I like: Aeterna Noctis, Axiom Verge, Blasphemouses, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Carrion (haven't finished, I'm lost, should I try to finish it?), Crypt Custodian (and all of his other games), Dead Cells, Environmental Station Alpha (yes, I know), Flynn: Son of Crimson, Ghost Song, GRIME, Guacamelees, HAAK (LOVED HAAK), Haiku, Hollow Knight, Hyper Light Drifter, Iconoclasts, Lone Fungus, (not Lost Ruins, couldn't get into it), Necrosphere, Ori's, Phoenotopia Awakening (Loved), Prince of Persia TLC, Rainworld, Song of the Deep, Valfaris, VVVVVVVVVVVV, and Zapling Bygone.Thanks nerds.

Beat rain world. Wonderful game.Started a new run. I had started going to moon in the first place to eat one of her neurons, because while horrible, it meant I could traverse shaded citadel to get to pebbles in relative safety and with ease. As a rule I always bring smurfmom back one from pebbles, and it turns out she doesn't really have any more specific lines if you bring her more than a couple.First game it took me 60 cycles and 16 hours to just get to the leg, second time around I made it in 15 and 2 hours. I activated a passage to gain karma to get through pebbles from the underhang,then I've discovered that shelters were actually metaprogression. So I abandoned that save and tried to get get a nohurtmom any% speedrun, I simply powerwalked through the survivor and the monk in 10 cycles to get the 2 passages by just eating fruits, teleported to pebbles, got enlightened, ate one his neurons, swallowed one and then teleported back to moon. All requirements fulfilled in a fraction of the time.I'll dick around with survivor a bit more before trying hunter seriously, the finer points of slugcat's movement elude me still. I was pleased to see that hunter doesn't actually get free teleports, it really feels like the game removes the training wheels after that.I can't believe people somehow say that this game is bullshit, there's never anything that's impossible to traverse, there's essentially no backtracking since the game itself always spawns items in areas where you wouldn't be able to reach otherwise with a rudimentary knowledge of the movement system (i.e. spears near slopes even though you could make that jump if you knew how to manouver yourself better)The only truly hard part I found was the wall->underhang, which is an optional route and tons of people reported about not knowing how to handle, but it's a skill check for a shortcut and chimney canopy is right there if you can't make it.Play rain world.
>>553156972VS has all the annoying parts of TFC (since it was inspired directly by that) in ways that you can't even automate without mods for the most part if you dislike that kind of autism that's just a natural reaction, some people enjoy it, but most don't because it's objectively boringyou're going to eventually force yourself to think of it as one of those "cozy game" chores and force yourself to enjoy building things layer by layer or abandon the gamethere's no inbetween
>>553201056Rusted Moss, Afterimage, Vigil: The Longest Night, Death's GambitWaiting warmly for Aeterna LucisYou should really give Lost Ruins another go at some point.
>>553201056Salt and Sanctuary is marginally a metroidvania, I think. I liked it but most I speak to don't so your mileage may vary.>>553203929>day 7>rewind to 6Anon you know you can restart the day right? You don't need to go all back to the memory repositry each time you have a setback.
>>553203929I'm worried for you anon. You're pretty much still in the tutorial.
>>553208647I do retry the day, but when an anomaly is wrecking my shit no matter what I do I rewind
>>553201056>Carrion (haven't finishedI remember it as a pretty short and casual, although fun, game (~8 hrs)? Just do a quick peek in some walkthrough to get you on the right path and put it in the cleared folder.You've probably heard of most of these, but:HONEST RECOMMENDATIONS>Child of Light (charming and aesthetic)>Valdis Story (JRPG-Hollow Knight)>Aquaria (literal classic, boomer gaming at this point)>Dex (awesome, if a little janky, and under the radar dark future m'vania with nice cyber customization)>REDO! (short and sweet, great NG+, basically free on sales)>Yoku's Island Express (brilliant gameplay, relaxing, casual and __FUN!__)>Sundered (proc-gen'ed levels, so a minor roguelite element to it, but it's a pretty forgiving game, looks stylish and has a nice atmosphere to it amd won't outstay its welcome)>seconding Afterimage, only chink game I've ever stomached. HUGE map and generally funMIGHT BE YOUR THING:>8 Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure (very charming and fun game, a little visually bland though. fucking awesome if you know of the ol' Wraith: the Oblivion TTRPG)>Unworthy (soulsvania, no jumping)>Ghost 1.0 (I'm still not sure I really liked this, but it was interesting enough to do a full playthrough)>>553208647Salt & Sanctuary is one of the best games in the genre, hands down. The sequel is quite good too BUT! It's not the stellar game the first one was and it's more of a MHunter-with-platforming-exploran, some grindan involved, which might turn some people off or test their patience. It has a nice challenge to it though.
I was looking up lists of metroidvanias and found this instead, looks polished enough. It's an isometric and people seem to describe it as "soulslike" so I assume they mean it's similar to Hades 1/2?https://store.steampowered.com/app/1933370/Mark_of_the_Deep/
boss makes a dollarI make a dimethat's why I'm bumping /indie/ on company time
>>553218683Based: As long as you do it in the allotted time for bathroom breaks, me and the board room approve (no raise this quarter, though). And remember to vote for lowered taxes, dismantled public services and less regulations, it's all in our common interest!
>>553212117oh wow isn't this knockoff inssmouth #29384 so original and exciting you have literally never seen this before
>>553201056I recently really enjoyed Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists.Master Key is really good and underappreciated, might as well mention it since you brought up some Zelda-ish games.Toki Tori 2 is really excellent, kind of more of a "Metroidbrainia". Normally that makes me also think of recommending Yoku's Island Express but the other anon already hit that.
>>553223764What kind of autistic meltdown is this...?
>>553201056The Mummy Demastered is fun, it used to be too hard but they nerfed the difficulty a bit and I enjoyed my replay several years later MUCH more.And that makes me think of Mystik Belle, the indie one-man project by Andrew Bado (one of the sprite artists for Mummy Demastered and many of the 2D Shantae games). I always shill it when I remember to. And I guess, if you somehow haven't played it, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is excellent.
>>553224904>Mystik Belle>A colorful pixel-art metroidvania/point-and-click adventure hybridHuh, never heard of this before... Looks cute and charming though?
>>553224203please, please, please, please grow an imagination,
>>553224904And when I say it used to be too hard, it was in a purely grindy way, like they massively increased the drop rate of health so you don't have to spend an hour grinding heals every time you get low. The rarity of health drops was so bad it almost felt like a glitch.Babushka's Glitch Dungeon is maybe more just 2D puzzle platformer than proper Metroidvania but I loved it. Definitely recommend for the Baba is You likers. The aesthetics feel very Cave Story.
>>553225060It is very cute and charming, and the creator seems perpetually low on funds/time to work on the sequel, which I hope releases someday.https://youtu.be/q6g-rd8-GAU

>buy a bunch of games on steam sale>urge to ignore all of them and just replay factorio>already have hundreds of hours on it
>>553238097>hundreds of hours on itso, nothing.
>>553203929Keep in kind that the game is designed for restarts. Its impossible to even have all the possible monsters in the facility at the same time, if you want to complete the encyclopedia 100% you will need to start from scratch (from day 1) a few times to pick different abnos (quest progress and and info carries on), so it literally doesn't matter much if you fuck up in a "run".Still, get used to restart days a lot and to grind stats.
>>553238276Its pure addiction. New mods and new factories will be just new flavors of using the same belts, pipes and insertes to move new sprites around.I think is just addiction at this point and I am worried I will never be free from this again.
>>553237859funny you're saying that but i kept running out of ammo with this setupand i actually got one more primary slot after this mission for a more conservative energy weapon as a backupif i'll get a bunch of upgrades for ammo efficency i'll replace it with a sniper/hitscan long range high alpha damage gun like a rail or a laser latermy favorite thing about the top mounted gatling gun is that you can use it to peek corners safely and kill turrets without risking damage (if you don't suck at vidya that is)

>>553240519/v/ was always shit, and the final nail in the coffin was when /vg/ was created because from then on there literally weren't any reason to discuss actual games on the board itself, as you'd get better on topic discussions on /vg/ for the game you wanted to talk about by going to its general. It's now basically a videogame themed /b/-lite that act as an introduction board to the rest of the site, its only redeeming quality is that since its a blue board, it isn't spammed with porn all the time.

BumpI'm going on a walk now that the rain has finally stopped
I'm starting to think that maybe it would have been smarter, to chart out a path through the Tree of Wisdoms, instead of just committing stuff without making plans for which "shortcuts" I would like to use.Not that it matters but maybe something worth considering for the next run
>>553238097This has been me with Against the Storm.
>>553267197Why'd you shit your pants?
>>553265323It's not that important unless you want to max out all wisdoms at once.>>553267197Tell me about it, I've heard good things but left it on the backlog.
it's not fucking workiiiiing
>>553269253Population collapse due to sudden lack of biscuits>>553270634It captures the basic appeal of citybuilding classics like Caesar 3 but the direct management of every worker, pacing of levels, and randomization makes it even more addictive and replayable. The DLC is fun but not really necessary, more like "if you've already played the game to death and want more race variety". Because of the "mix and match" way you satisfy the different populations, it doesn't fall into the trap of other city builders where every new map becomes the same slog of setting up the exact same production chains.
>>553270634>unless you want to max out all wisdoms at onceActually I was wondering if there are enough skills in the game to do that or not.Though in terms of roleplay the person I imagine my current librarian to be probably doesn't care too much about Hushery and Skolekosophy. Also maybe not too much into Restoration

>>553272723You can definitely put a skill at the top of each wisdom, but not all slots. I've got 14 empty slots left on my playthrough with most skills attuned but for a few stragglers. However this is purely bragging rights. I don't know what might have been planned with wisdoms, but despite each journal having a wisdom associated and suggesting "You might begin with", its only purpose is to RP as Hokobald.I think I might try a heavily imbalanced run where I always favor the starting soul cards and see what happens next though.
>>553259350Look its me
>>553240519/v/ sometimes has good threads but they're either deleted or moved to other boards when jannies notice.
>>553277451>"You might begin with"Yeah I was wondering what all of that was about, since it still hasn't really come up. I suppose maybe it's about guiding you into getting the right sould cards?Though to be honest I'm still figuring out how to even write a history, only got the first step done, I think, but I'll figure it out in time.>HokobaldI've recently read his letter from the hidden files to Serena Blackwood while she was librarian. It's honestly the funniest shit.>I think I might try a heavily imbalanced run where I always favor the starting soul cards and see what happens next though.Could be interesting but maybe also tedious.I remember doing something similar in Cultist Simulator though, where I sometimes RPd the stats for my character, like The Detective wouldn't have high passion or The Bright Young Thing was lacking in physical fitness
I really wish more people played this. I enjoy it.
>>553282425it's just grindy knockoff of a knockoff of a ss13 persistent city world serverit was promising but in multiple years if development literally nothing major or interesting has been added

>>553282814no, you simply have a bad taste
>>553282814His post told the audience more about the game than yours.And now you went for low-brow greentext implications instead of refuting or adding anything to what he said, letting everyone know how bad it is.
>>553282814The post that triggered the anti-fun cult.
>>553284295Don't ruin the anti-fun cult's entertainment.
Guys, I just found out about this awesome game!It's kinda like SS13 on a persistent city world server and there's lots to do.It's got a promising core featureset and it's been polished for multiple years already.What do you think? Should we get /indie/ group going?
>>553285830Show gameplay faggot
>>553285830It's actually not at all similar to SS13. First of all the engine isn't BYOND, which means it's automatically infinitely better than SS13 could ever be. It's an FPS. The setting is sovietpunk misery, not generic space station. The sides are more like typical PVP factions and there isn't a heavy emphasis on roleplay, so it's not full of furry ERP and their retarded cliques.
>>553286486>FPSHard to call it that given functionally nobody has guns and it's not refined in such a way to appeal to FPS fans.
>>553286634Drop the libtard word mongering.In context it means first person.
>>553286634I'm gonna call every first person game FPS just to piss your pedantic ass off.
>>553286779>>553286823Did someone piss in your cereal? I was just saying the genre you called it doesn't really feel right. It's more unique.
>>553286779>>553286823You fags are gay.
>>553282425>>553285830Apparently it's a clone of gmod darkRP before it went to shit, not SS13.
>>553287756That's a lot closer to it. The only difference is the lack of admin powertripper faggots and no yelling "FAILRP" and "RDM RDM RDM."
I still don't see any gameplay or screenshots. You are le homo.
>>553287893>The only difference is the lack of admin powertripper faggotsAnd that's a good thing.
>>553289508Everything I mentioned is a good thing, yes. Self-moderating games are top tier.
>>553289873Up to a point. Then cheaters find them and destroy the game.
>a mod for Might and Magic 8 that glues 6 and 7 onto it and lets you play through them all in one playthroughAlright that's pretty damn cool.>another mod adds multiplayer to itokay but why
>>553290598Why NOT?
>>553209020You shouldn't be getting any abnormalities that are actual run enders this early, there's a few later in the game that can do it if your unprepared but even then only a few. When it comes to lobcorp perfectionism is the enemy of actually completing the game, it's better to push forwards.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il-TXbn5iMAWhy are games with fully modifiable terrain so rare? Red Faction did it ages ago and not many have bothered since then.I hope SDF becomes an indie fotm sometime in the 2030s.
>>553298504Because you can't build a maze for the player with it.
>>553001928Mel's fine enough as a protag, whatever - I just hate the ridiculous bullshit damage scaling for bosses and Typhon having, what, four fucking phases - in a game where damage is persistent between encounters, taking any bit of dumb damage is going to cost you later, and if you don't grab every last centaur heart you can find, you're donezo, it's not even funny. And Bosses getting invulnerability for however long at set thresholds throughout the fight really pisses me off, as does Prometheus' fucking insta-kill memory puzzle move that's done TWICE in the fucking fight.Also, a lot of enemies, especially bosses ,don't telegraph for shit, which plays merry hell with the zoomed-out isometric perspective.I want to love this game but fuck me running I hate some of the design decisions.
>>553299489Red Faction did.And it didn't even dig that deep into the gameplay possibilities of it.It's only Spengies that does dynamic terrain well these days. No Man's Sky would also have a pretty good terrain alteration system but it falls flat because terrain changes from most uploaded bases are lost and terrain changes outside player bases are never saved in the first place.
>>553302880>Red Faction did.Red faction placed the player in an indestructible maze the moment it wanted to have a story.
>>553298504SDF is just a rendering technique here, what he's actually doing is CSG.
>>553304154without watching the video, it is obvious that neither techniques are suitable for realtime rendering of any graphical fidelity beyond basic shapes.
>>553304489that's just not true, CSG is used in basically all CAD software, and SDF can represent any shape that can be described parametrically.he does reference inigo quilez who is an actual wizard with this stuff
>>553305872Have you used CAD software? It's slow as fuck.
>>553305872>SDF can represent any shape that can be described parametrically.Absolutely. We all drew the batman logo on our TI-84's, you should know that the formula complexity gets insane.

>>553097709Seems like you fell for Communist propaganda. This is the problem of having only a surface understanding of Ancient Greece through memes, vibes and platitudes. Ancient Greece was harshly intolerant towards Homosexuality. Homosexuals were banned from holding any religious or political offices. They were regarded as unclean and even being known to associate regularly with them, would be enough to also be subjected to that ban. The only thing that's difficult for people to grasp is the fact that in the 1960s left-wingers created a fake identity called Homosexuality, which they wanted to push on the gays. Before that we didn't call them homosexual or gay. These words were part of that propaganda. We called them Sodomites and Pederasts, because that is what accurately described their behavior. In Ancient Greece there words for them, which carry the EXACT same disgust, shame and aversion towards homosexuals as today, but it still follows the old view and definition of Homosexuality, not the modern Communist view.
>>553321265What game is this?

>>553325540>>553327304>>553329467Homos mean same in greek not latin.
>>553330765homonyms are a thing
>>553330765>In what world wouldn't they be?It looks like they aren't though.Greek homos comes from *somHós ("same, alike") and Latin homo comes from *ǵʰm̥mṓ (“earthling”), from *dʰéǵʰōm (“earth”)I'm not the anon you replied to in >>553329467 btw, I have no idea what that argument is about, I just love me some linguistics
>>553331223Maybe in a modern language with a million more things, but I doubt a proto-language has enough words that it needs homonyms.>>553331291The idea of a word that has a S at the end but is NOT a plural form of another word confuses me so much.
>>553331354>I doubt a proto-language has enough words that it needs homonymsIt's not like the creative director of languages decides that we're in need of a homonym now. Languages evolve naturally and sometimes some funky shit happens and two words with completely different roots converge on the same spelling/pronounciation>The idea of a word that has a S at the end but is NOT a plural form of another word confuses me so much.You should stay the fuck away from Latin, Greek and Romance Languages then, for your own safety.
>>553331780>Romance LanguagesQué???

So what note taking software is the recommended to play Book of Hours? I may give it a try too.
>>553337282I mean grammatical gender is all a bunch of made up nonsense anyways I speak 3 languages that have it, so I should knowBut where it really throws me off is names, a bunch of French male names sound female to me
>>553337418I use this one >>552758612Obsidian is popular, but it didn't work out for me and depending on what you want to do it could be a bit overkill. Saw some people just use an Excel sheet too. Whatever works for you and don't be discouraged to switch to something else once you've played for a while and better understand what kind of notes you're even taking
>mfw just beat Labyrinth of the Demon KingGonna go into NG+ immediately. Neat game, way too goddamn short, suffered from a severe lack of enemy variety, the combat wasn't too fleshed out (kicking is almost always pointless, light attack combos just get you smacked by a counter attack unless you outrange the enemy and most weapons are so slow to swing the enemy can parry you mid combo, counterattacks and strong attacks are the way to go, stamina regenerates so slowly you spend 90% of the game waiting for 1 point to regen so you can swing again), there's a bunch of redundant weapons with identical stats and animations that I can't see the point in existing, the final tower being 3 straight minutes of running up stairs was gay, the making macha tea minigame has weird hit detection where you have to be VERY precise with aiming on the tools or else your dude just stands up, armor doesn't seem to actually do anything or have any reason to be upgraded and the invincible enemy that hunts you for 90% of the game after you deface the Buddhist shrine was really fucking annoying, but otherwise it was cool.I didn't understand the ending at all though, hoping NG+ explains more. The demon king talks like he was your lord and claims you broke your katana off in him. After you defeat him, his head turns into a weird dragon thing that attacks you and you suddenly wake up in the underground river at the start of the game, follow the river which is marked by random objects you encountered in the game like the shrines and bathhouse wheels, you find the Demon King's mask near the end, go into a white light and then wake up in a beautiful forest, which I guess is heaven? I don't know, it felt like it was supposed to be some beeg tweest near the end but I just didn't comprehend what the fuck it was meant to imply at all. The only thing I can think of is the intro story is bullshit, your dude murdered his lord and went to hell for it.
>>553337530Really? I can only think of Camille.>>553337418Obsidian. Some people use spreadsheets, but they kill my eyes. Pen and paper is the hardcore way. It must be nice to have a big ass binder with every single readable in the game though.
>play sekiro>no stamina, fast sprinting, a grappling hook that cancels falls>there's still a poison swamp that slows you if you step in it Un fucking believable. What's his problem?
>>553338080>>553337713Great, thanks.Should I start with the DLC or not?
>>553338623No reason not to, it doesn't spoil or hinder the game. You can ignore its components even when its on.
>>553338623From what I understand all the QoL that came with the DLC is in the main game, but I've had the DLC since the release so I can't be sure what is and isn't DLC.Most of the DLC features are for the mid and lategame and you won't even have acces to them for quite a while and by the time you do you should have a decent grasp of the game.I recommend throwing it in, it integrates into the main game quite well and nobody is forcing you to interact with the systems it adds until you feel like it.
>>553337713What software is that?
>>553338931>>553338961I'm gonna start without buying the DLC. I only have like 10 hours in CS and it didn't clicked for me.

The fuck is this.
>>553350410Seeing that for the first time is so cool.It's kind of like your Skilltree
>>553338495Miyazaki has a fetish for poisoned swamps, almost every single game he work on has them. Yes, even fucking armored core.
I really could use a "skip until morning/night" button.>>553351331>It's kind of like your SkilltreeI see. I thought it was a way to choose a History to write and finish the game. It has a ton of vague obscure-sounding stuff. I remember not making sense of all this in CS.
>>553351659>It has a ton of vague obscure-sounding stuffYeah that's pretty much the whole series, lel. Make sure to read item descriptions and stuff, it helps a lot. But give you made it this far you've already got that part figured out I assusme.Depending on how detailed you want to be "spoiled" on the Tree of Wisdoms feel free to stop reading here, but tl;dr on how it works:Once you start acquiring skill, you can commit them to the card sots in the tree, each skill can only be committed once and higher level card slots will only accept higher level skill.Committing skills gives you more Elements of the Soul cards.Lastly, and this was the most confusing part for me, it's related to upgrading skill. If you use a skill to acquire an Element of the Soul, you can then use that skill once to upgrade that Element at an appropriate workstation. For example if you commit a skill to the Illumination-Wisdom and get a Wist out of it, you can put 2 Wist cards plus that skill into a Workstation with the "Evolution with Illumination" aspect to upgrade your Wist.But all of that is explained in the tooltips for the relevant aspects, I just had a hard time wrapping my head around it allThere are some shenanigans you can do to optimize here, but I personally don't think it's necessary at all. This game is a lot more relaxed than CS (especially with the DLC) and the only way to lose is burning or throwing away your journal and the game will very explicitly warn you that that will soft lock you.
>>553351659Wait, what game is that? Is it also Book of Hours?
>>553352625Book of Hours tutorial island
>>553338495At least he had the decency to wait until nightreign's DLC to coach ishizaki and co to add poison and variant swamps to that game.
>>553353062Go cry somewhere else.

>>553359594Meh. Give me spankings or gtfo.
>>553359896Why would you want to be spanked you fucking weirdo?
>>553360174Because in a setting where elves exists, I want to be able to smack their lovely rears.
Kh1 done, more or less. I need to grind to 100 but that should be relatively easy. As soon as I got to the final save point, I just had to farm materials from the neoshadows to get ultima. Big upgrade from the wonderland keyblade. Same mp but higher everything.Any advice on what order I should be doing the superbosses?
Book of Hours fans rejoice, for I have figured out how to beat the game. Now just need to figure out where to a different version of one of these.Also, since we talked about Secret Histories humor a while ago, that "tentatively" in the tooltip cracks me up.
Anyone tried Tower of Kalemonvo?

I'm finally playing Book of Hours, don't die /indie/.
I don't understand this game. I put the things where it told me to but it doesn't want to start.
>>553382285So each book will have an "element" that it's attuned to, which will be noted as its "Mystery". Everything else in the game also has an attunement. Check the popups when you have something selected in order to see the fine details. You need to add stuff to the other slots there in order to meet or exceed that element of the book. If you can find a desk, you should get more slots to work with. Just Considering things gives you like, three slots, which is often not enough. If you find a book with a Language requirement, you'll need to find that Language and learn it before you can read the book. Read. Everything.
>>553382994I thought the Mastery/Mystery/Memory were the "elements" that the book itself had, not what they needed. Thanks.
>>553384415It is, but you need to meet that number in order to read the book. The book Mystery also comes into play later with another aspect of the game.
>>553382285It can be a bit hard to understand what the game wants from you at times. It always helps to read all the tooltips, but figuring this shit out is a big part of the game imo.In this instance it's less about what the game "tells you to" put in there, it's moreso telling you what you're "allowed" to put in those slots, but if the combination you come up with is invalid, you won't be able to do anything.In this specific case the important part is what it says in the hint>I could add something to this journal... if I could lay my hands on a suitable inkmeaning what you're currently trying to do isn't possible, but it gives you a hint on what you could do instead.It's kinda tricky to understand if you've never played this kind of game before (and honestly even if you had, the journal and what to do with it had me extremely confused too)>>553384415It's pretty much the properties that each item has, hover over them they often contain useful hints on what it means. They can be requirements (like "Mystery" or another mechanic later on), they can be a property like "Mastery" (i.e. you have successfully read this book once), "Readable" or "Memory", they can be stats the object or card gives you like Heart and Lantern.You'll get the hang of it after a bit, don't worry
>>553372840ye it's alrightt. dev
>>552938039So I just replayed A Hat In Time on my PC after I played it 3 years ago on Xbox One. Thanks to being on PC I could use mods and found a very cute fox outfit for her. Decided to get it commissioned as I wish I could be her!
Doorkickers 2 added some new missions, including some from the first game.The game is pretty nice to play once every few months though I prefer the smaller missions over the larger ones. Also it's funny how some you're often doing shit that in the real world would probably get a way larger team allocated to it, so you end up with stuff like this, where my plan relies on the fact that my guy is an absolute super soldier, able to hold down a doorway against 3-4 enemy elite commandos (which he does)
>>553331780>Languages evolve naturally and sometimes some funky shit happens and two words with completely different roots converge on the same spelling/pronounciationSometimes I like to imaging how many words we use now are originally descended from the indo-european equivalent of today's dumb zoomer slang.
>>553392424Reminds me of how okay/OK allegedly, there are multiple possible etymologies comes from some students a couple hundred years ago making it a joke to intentionally misspell words and they misspelling of "All Correct" stuck.
I forgot how tough that game was. Speedrunners make it look so easy...
completed my first further story in Book of Hours. It's a bit hard to make decisions with my understanding of the world and setting being very vague.Makes me librarian seems really incompetent if their whole reason for choosing sides is "that guy seemed kinda cool so I helped him", but oh well

sleep schedule messed up again, but at least I can bump /indie.
>>553407193Jesus, don't fuck with sleep.
>>553408510Too late.I've had the flu over Christmas so it completely messed up when I slept. I've more or less managed to salvage a schedule since then, but the past few days I had mental health complications that prevented me from sleeping.Though it's mostly fine now so I think I can finally go back to something more normal soon
>>553408712I understand, but still. Fixing your sleep should be priority #1. Dunno for you, but personally I get very diminished by lack of sleep.
>>553372840wait a sec, this is just diablo 2 act 2 palace but worse
>>553415209>but worseThat's what makes it indie
>>553402642That's not even the end either, though the next steps are more esoteric.
Just started using cs rin - how do downloads work? Is it safe to just.. download shit that the users upload? I'm talking about stuff they just post further down the thread, not even at the start.
>>553427951most of what's on there is straight dumps of steam files. if someone posted malware they'd probably get banned.you have no common sense.
>>553402642I tried this game but only had about 20 minutes to play at the time so I wanted to start over when I had more time, but then it turned out the game had some meta thing going on the next time I started the game so I uninstalled it right then and there. fuck games that make assumptions about people's ability to play for certain amounts of time and think they are being subversive about it.

Finally looked up a hint on what I'm missing for Blue Prince and found out The routes looked north is NOT the solution for the book puzzle. Jesus. I guess it seemed like a pretty weak hint because...how else would they face?

Jesus, Galahad is so insanely hard. I'm steamrolling over most things right now, but his squires and Galahad just murders the fuck out of me. At level 20, I should be able to kill him, but he kills me in three hits.I'm going to cheat and grind until I have a full set of armour +10.
I also started playing Book of Hours few days ago. I think I am doing fine, just have no idea of what to do with all this food and items I have lying around, outside of boosting assistants.Also, I got the writing case and invited one of the villagers and I supposed to hold some kind of Salon, but doesn't seem to be possible... I supposed I will just keep reading books and unlocking rooms for now.
Fuck you Galahad. I wanted to do an iron & flesh run only, but you pushed my hand.
>>553459028That's basically what food and items are for, aside from salons or restoring cards (with drinks). You actually could hold a salon in the gardens in spring, but you need food, drink, guests, etc.
>>553459028Salons are a DLC feature and are "intended" for the mid to lategame, though obviously nothing is stopping you form doing them whenever you feel like it, this is a pretty chill game in terms of letting you do everything at your own pace most of the time.Food and items are useful for their stats: Boosting assistants, feeding guests during Salons and crafting mostly.
>>553434974Thanks, I have been loving the game again since I decided to play it! Also cute
>tfw filtered by the plataforming in the cine levelI'm too old for this.
Yesterday I barely played BoH, so now I'm giving it more time. And I'm terrible at these puzzles.>>553471608Meant for >>553387034
>>553471608Unless you have a degenerative disease, no you're not. You can do it anon. I believe in you.>>553472321The basic idea is that helpers (whether hirelings or villagers) can help you open locked rooms, thus accessing more of the house, and rooms contain books, which you can master by scrounging more or less aspects via at least one soul card + other slots. You've already figured out you can MASTER the journal and get lessons from it, which is unironically better than me my first time.

>>553418347Actually I'm pretty sure I know what to do after Cif's route since I found the upgraded void staff and what to use it for. Just got to figure out what's the DIS brand, hopefully the Cif run helps in that regard.
>>553477018Should I give it another try? I vaguely remember my first session being very confusing.
>>553482205That's kind of the point. You're thrust in a world where you have no clue what's going on, your only progression is your level of skill in moving your character and knowledge of the map. Initially, the game didn't even have a tutorial level to show you the basics. You're going to die over and over and over and over and over and you're going to learn a bit every time until you get decent.It's not really a hard game, it's just part of the process.
>>553463934>>553467483what got me confused is that you can't start a picnic on the garden with only 1 guest and there are no slots for food, I just assumed the salon was another type of reunion on another room. I will try to invite someone else.Also, didn't expect this game to have any points of no return. If I don't "act" upon a guest about a certain incident, because he was teaching me languages instead, there just no way to do it later? The incident doesn't come back later?
>>553484989Salons are a bit different than the usual gameplay and require some preparation to make happen. You need to invite guests in the appropriate season (can't do a tea party in the garden in Winter, for example). This takes Ink and their mailing address. Then, you need to have food and drink that matches their aspects. You don't actually slot the food in anywhere. Instead, you have it placed on the tables/surfaces of your chosen location. Once everything is together, you start the Salona and let everyone talk and eat. I think you can also serve extra food during, but I didn't mess much with them. >Also, didn't expect this game to have any points of no return. If I don't "act" upon a guest about a certain incident, because he was teaching me languages instead, there just no way to do it later? The incident doesn't come back later?The incident will stay until it's done. As for the characters, they'll leave until another one calls them back. If you help them you get a mailing address that you can use to call them back for lessons or whatnot.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/284460/DeadCore/Excellent plateformer game no one knows about.Not especially hard and pretty short.Trying to find the secrets and how to get to them is really fun.
>>553486257deadcore is a classic, anon...
>>553484989Adding to what >>553486059 said, since I only recently figured out how to do Salons myself. The game will hold your hand through most of this. I think yo start one you need at least 2 or 3 guests and then the description will explicitly tell you if you don't have enough food in the room or something
>>553457859Personally I found the fight against the captain and co harder because the bersekers hit like trucks and there is like 20 of them, in comparison Galahad is easy but ill admit his squires are a pain. But the worst is the guy at the end of the tutorial island because he insta kill you in one hit.
>>553486059>think you can also serve extra food during,Pretty sure the room gets locked during a salon.>>553282232Well, I don't recommend it. I'm doing it with no Wist, Shapt, Ereb allowed, and it's quite troublesome. Initially I considered doing it with only the starting cards allowed (Revolutionary is Mettle, Fet, Trist and Health), but it's already restrictive to have no winter or knock at all on soul cards, if I lop off lantern, sky, and grail as well it'd be way too much.
>>553486395>a total of 3 mentions of the game in the archive>in 2 threads from 2021huuuum

>>553486526I haven't fought the Captain. But Caradoc isn't even meant to be fought.I just hope it won't be like this constantly, I went for a heavy armor build but I still get killed very quickly so what's the point?
>>553495621He did it for free for me, because he's my best buddy>>553497364Because you keep getting game overs?From personal experience the game gets a lot easier once you figure out reliable strats to deal with each game ending card. After that I basically didn't get any game overs, except rarely with really bad event timing or me slipping up big time.

I genuinely, utterly and unironically hate this particular series of jumps.You need a squidcada (unless you know how to throw a spear under you, which I can't do reliably yet) and that's not that really the problem, the issue is the screen DOES NOT FUCKING UPDATE so you literally cannot see your character when he's in mid air to jump. It's a literal leap of faith, over a fall that's certain death. You literally have to do it by ear. I know it's a shortcut, but the alternative route is much worse because it requires you to circumnavigate this entire thing instead of doing those 3 jumps.I am just baffled that nobody even bothered to make a mod to patch the view so the jumps wouldn't be a literal vibe check.
and all this while I'm trying to avoid centiwings, vultures and lizards, with the knowledge that if I do actually let go of the fucking squidcada to throw a spear I often actually lose it forever because it flies off into the sunset or gets eaten, and if I do this more than once all the squidcadas get eaten and I have to restart the circle.FUCK.THIS.JUMP.I'VE BEEN STUCK IN SKY ISLANDS FOR 2 DAYS NOW TRYING TO DO THIS IN LESS THAN 2 DEATHS TO GET TO CHIMNEY CANOPY

>>553560150>>553560742>>553563686you can do it anon! it gets significantly easier after the wall. beginning is the hardest part of the hunter campaign
>>553500095You can defeat Caradoc and arthur even has some unique voice lines for it, but yeah I remember my first playthrough I tried melee and it was rough, then I went with magic and god damn its stupidly strong
>>553569567>indie dev clout chasingI follow that game on Tiktok. What happened? QRD?
>>553570321The problem is that melee is "the default" option. So, sure, it looks good when you dodge, parry and counter, but then you meet a bloke that uses magic, and then you're at a disadvantage.
>>553570632One of their tweets randomly blewup
>>553559983Maybe its a skill issue on my part, but I think its too annoying. For notoriety, for example, I always used a follower get rid of it, but there is some rng involved and if it fails, it creates even more notoriety, so it takes even longer to solve the issue.I just found myself stalling all the time to deal with these things, before doing the actual fun things, like exploring or summoning.
>>552938039recommend me an indie game based on the slop i play
>>553571494>butt slapperIs it any good?Also, maybe Dune Awakening?
>>553571494Icarus.
>>553571494Avowed? Tainted Grail? Icarus?
>>553571758>Is it any good?Its a bare bones community marketplace clicker like banana. After you unlock all the upgrades it becomes the worlds most boring idle game whers you watch the number go up. If you want all the achievements the best way is to plug in a controller and then go into steam input and set one button to toggle turbo left click and another to toggle turbo right click so you can get to 10 million slaps in only 150 hours>>553572886Im gonna be playing hytale when it comes out tomorrow i dont really want to play a survival game>>553573075>AvowedI still haven't played much pillars of eternity>tainted grailLooks good ill download the demo
Honey B. Lovely looking different than I remember.>>553573808I'm better off sticking to Zekel's game then.
Finally.God damn, I had to +++ my Trist but I got the 15 Winter/Moon roadblock starting from 0 with my pal the blacksmith, and still holding to no Wist/Ereb/Shapt cards. So glad I wrote down every single skill that gives Trist. Unfortunate that winter can't hit more than 14 without a soul card. Yes, I could have done it by hiring the winter fisherman (+2 moon), or Mr. Kille (2 winter) for a shilling (who also takes Yew wood, that gives +1 winter), or accepting the Wist you get from curating the busts. But now I can just finish restoring the house and peacing the fuck out of this run.Now all that's left is Grail and Knock, both completely doable even without a soul card, or edge, also very doable.

>>553580720>>553580836I will not. I will experience all Akizet has left behind.At least I fixed the godawful lag because apparently the same settings that make new steam store lag so bad on firefox also made this game lag unplayable bad with more than 2 objects in the explorations and action sections.
>>553581680nice boba
>>553570976Yeah, that's why I tend to usually wait until notoriety becomes evidence and then get rid of the evidence instead. Depending on how much Mystique the investigator get caught up in that's a huge time saver in comparison to trying to get rid of the Notoriety most of the time.But I get you that it can be very tedious a lot of the time.
>>553581680well have funi tried it for like an hour and then just skipped ita bit too random for my taste or maybe im just bad

>>553583736I wish I wasn't such a little scaredy bitch so I could play that one Alien horror game. I've heard all of their VHS glitch effects come from recording the UI elements onto actual tapes
>>553586875They 110% nailed the setting, atmosphere, and visual style. I think they even had access to notes from the original editor of the film. They bring out the unused themes from the original score and it works really well.But it's honestly not that scary once you figure out how rigged the AI actually is, and the writing is garbage.
>>553587646Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime, I do love the Alien setting and exploring it virtually sounds amazing.As a buddy of mine once jokingly put it, according to me "The move Alien was ruined by the alien", because my favorite parts are just them hanging out on the ship, doing their jobs before the alien shows up
Had to sacrifice the squidcada. A third vulture joined later and I slipped through the buggers, it was nice.Shame because it really would have helped with the wall.
>>553581815The bobs are nicing indeed!>>553582138I did like my setup I found in the main frame so I enjoying using it more. Martyr tank + Optimize just keeps your whole party alive forever while the enemy slowly kills themself. And then you stab with the 3rd. Not the fastest setup but really safe unless you get the mod that puts a 50% chance on every status inflict to inflict the opposite instead.Plus I found the mod that doubles healing and gives shield which makes the setup even better.

>>553560150There's a mod you may be interested in that unlocks the camera completely and keeps it centered on you at all times.

Bumping with a random screencap with the preview to small to know what it is
Pirated Wartales a few days ago. Fell in love with it so much that I bought it full price. Still not going to spend a single cent of the overpriced DLCs however.
>>553620921What is it?
>>553620921I hate games using this miniatures camera effect.
>>553621171...isometric cameras?
>>553621665Tilt-shift photography.But you probably already knew that.
>>553621665I think he means the blur around the edges.
It makes me chuckle, how full of shit Hokobald is>>553620921I pirated it for a while and I loved the presentation and gameplay was also quite fun. I think what made me lose interest after completing the first area was how "linear" it felt.Sure you have this open world, but you're very limited in what you can actually do in it and most quests just have two very on the nose solutions.Probably my own fault for coming into this with false expectations, but still
Just 3 bald bros having a good time
>>553621139Mercenary "simulator". It's a open world tactics RPG were you create and manage a band of mercs roaming the countryside, murdering anything that's on two legs (and sometimes four) on sight.The story lines are pretty shallow so you might want to stick to four niggas in a rows if that's a problem for you.Some features are also a bit underwhelming, like capturing which is usually not worth your time with humans unless you want to make a quick buck. Enemy exclusive classes are less useful than player classes most of the time. You can also capture animals, but you have to build your party around them.
>>553625693So like Battle Brothers but in 3D?
>>553626127>Battle Brothers but in 3D?This is huge misconception. The game is built around a adaptive difficulty mode so building huge army fast is a really bad idea unless you really know what you're doing. There's also a set level difficulty mode, but that was made to placate people who didn't like the default mode and it's not properly balanced.
I have depleted all the HP. It was a bit misleading how fast it goes at first because -10% HP per tun is way more at 600000 than at 6k HP.My biggest loop was 6 and got ended by a forced God's Glee path.
>>553597213She is pretty cute. In red mode too
>>553626501Has adaptive difficulty ever been done right in the history of vidya?It's very rare and I don't think I've ever seen it done well. But it's a thing that I often think about when gaming and encountering a difficulty factor that seems like it could be easily made adaptive based on player success/progress rates.
>>553627172SiN: Emergence did it ok.Half-Life 2's supply boxes is one variant of it.
>>553627172In smash when you turn on a specific setting it will -1 the winner and +1 the loser on the damage taken and doing scala after each match.
>>553627172It's fine in Wartales. Your enemy levels up as you do, you get perk they don't get to give yourself an edge, they eventually unlock passives to throw curve balls at you and their squad size get bigger as yours gets more numerous.

They weren't kidding, that chair sure can be sat in.
>>553627172Dunno if it counts, I'm pretty sure Nu-Doom adjusts how much health and ammo you find based on how much you have. Pretty sure there are some other games that do that too
>>553631731Shame there's no booze mechanic outside of Mr. Maudlin
>>553620921Enjoy the first run as much as you can. Honestly as much as I liked it I really find it difficult to start the game again even accounting for adding all the DLC

>>553627301>>553632830>>553627172SiN episodes is the one that convinced me that adaptive difficulty is exactly equal to easy difficulty.It's a retarded concept. If the game always gives way no matter what then there is no real challenge.

>>553682906It is indeed disappointing, but I don't know what they could have given it, and if it was a requirement for something it'd be rather tedious.
>>553671302It's because of all the fucking gachas. They need their own board
>>553688893They literally have one. They're just not using it.
>>553688893anons usually don't really browse /vg/it's true for other boards but here you just open one of the generals you're interested in and check in on it sometime, not hop around organic threadsit makes it a little more difficult to discover but that's definitely not the reason why we're dying
>>553691486how fucking new&dumb
>>553691486The problem is less that the thread is slow and more that slow threads can't survive when gooners are making gachaslop threads constantly.
>>553693341>When shills are making gachaslop thread constantlyFtfy, it's basically casinos aimed at kids and horny idiots that get a free pass because its technically "video games", you can be sure shills are the main posters. Also its why they keep track of them using numbers as it make managing the payroll easier, ie "today I posted from 8 am to 6pm in thread 1739 to 1743". Like there is literally no other reason of keeping track of thread numbers otherwise. One could argue its to make searching the archive easier but lets be real, gachaslop do not have posts worth tracking back in the archive.

>>553726339Oh. Makes sense, I figured I could do fp, then starve, then teleportecho to try and skip going down the wall again and get teleported again, but they probably thought about that so I had to hibernate at the top of the wall.

>>553727138I miss the flash era bwos...
>>553727935thats fair, it'll just take a little longer to reach moon this way, but you should still be fine on the cycles

>>553730040yeah, i guess that works. maybe a difference of 1-2 cycles. and leg is not bad at all actually since you're going down. but yeah underhang is just impossible from the wall, so i just went through fp when i did this campaign
>>553732362can you not just downthrow 1 spear and then throw a spear at one of the platforms to do wormless wall->underhang?

Steam's recommendations have become absolutely useless lately. I'm pretty sure Project Zomboid is NOT similar to Amazing Cultivation Simulator, and certainly fucking not Space Engineers.
>>553629592>, pretty much any RPG where enemies scale along with you.He said "done right"Having rats skullfuck you despite your level 80 isn't fun
>>553734754Pretty sure they've always been dogshit. Just ask for recs here.
>>553696323>Like there is literally no other reason of keeping track of thread numbers otherwise.It started because people thought it was funny in the oldest "general" threads like Homestuck General, in the sense of "wow we've made this many threads in a row????" but that's still an interesting observation.>>553734754Steam only knows how to identify "you play friendslop", "you play first person games", and "you play the most esoteric trash indie shit imaginable"
>>553734754It always was shit, but some categories are worse than others. Ie trying to find immersive sims and dungeon crawlers is soul draining with how 99% of the results dont even fit any of the criteria of eithers.
>>553702828>microsoft makes a thing>it's good and loved by its users>microsot deprecates itMany such cases.
>>553702828>Buy the game or I will rape spiderfag until he gets pregnant.Oh no, don't do that...
>>553734754It's not about game similarity, it's about audience overlap. See how those games belong to indie here or indie-adjacent generals like egg.
Late game "A New Clue" investigation spoilers for Blue Prince>under bedsHint for the Baron Baffler>in nooksHint for the hidden messages visible with magnifying glass on the tutorial note in the NookBut what do the maids and cooks have to do with anything? There's even arrows pointing them out on the first page of the manuscript. I feel stupid.Also am I insane or is there a hidden message in the crossed-out or replacement words in the manuscript? Something like "find two nobody checked" and "evidence if over-due"; something about the library checkout records? Am I cuckoo two? I know I've created nonsense clues by accident before that sent me on wild goose chases.
>>553729012It doesn't, wxwidgets is a modern third-party multi-platform GUI framework.According to the dev it uses microsoft winforms:>Using the business tools of Visual Basic, .Net and Windows formsYou know, the API that was used to make literally every windows program GUI from mspaint to utorrent and from notepad to excel, before microsoft started pushing gay shit like UWP?
>>553746130rape me twice over and tear my dick off but i am never going back to winforms for simple dotnet applications after uwp
>>553629592>AI WarIt's a quite unique game but it doesn't have adaptive difficulty. You can be good/bad at game and it does nothing to adapt to your skill. AI Progress is more like, well, a progression system. It just has a different meta from most RTS games. Expansion bad gorilla warfare gud.
>>553734754Discovery queue is even worse, it still recomends me sportsball games like fifa, I never played anything like that in 15 years of steam account.
>>553747518Whatever, UWP is already deprecated and it was just an attempt to get people to use windows store.UWP lived for a grand total of one (1) windows version, meanwhile native winforms GUIs have been steadily supported since forever.WinUI 3 is also shit compared to winforms or WPF, so winforms is going nowhere as long as microsoft keeps making new stuff that's just plain worse.
Praise be to the bumping!

>>553734754there's this little game I like to play in my head, where if I see steam say wild shit like this, I imagine what a game would be like that would take that premise literally.Some others I have in my screenshot folder are "Call of Duty 6 & Portal 2" or "Among Us & Planetside 2">>553748979Years ago a friend of mine has made it his quest to make his discovery queue good, by clicking ignore on every game he doesn't like until it only recommends him good games. I'm not sure if it worked out. The funny side effect was, that that's been going so long that his tastes changed, so sometimes he gets game recs from other sources and realizes that game is on his ignore list

>>553781984>ARPG is another one, where it's just "RPGs that have action in them"No I want to see an RPG without action. Literally. There's your artsy fartsy game idea of the week.
>>553774070I have to use Win 11 on my work Laptop and I'm fucking baffled by the fact that by default the start menu is full of ads.

>>553782110Disco Elysium?I'm with you though, I'm all for more slice of life type RPGs. I loved that about KCD and wish more games would copy it. I loved RPing as just some dude living in Night City between missions in Cyberpunk. Even as far back as GTA IV I never went on big murder rampages in the sandbox but instead played out Nico's life.Whenever I play KCD, it makes me wish for a game that's like that, but set in and around a city the size of something like Witcher 3 Novigrad. And you're just some blacksmith's apprentice or merchant or whatever and most of the game is just interacting with people and making a living, while working your way up in the world

>responding to a post more than 24 hours old>>553678141It's designed to keep games challenging for a range of skill levels so that you don't get bored while still progressing at a good pace. It is NOT designed to wall you out or make you push your limits. Games that use difficulty as a challenge to be overcome will either have fixed difficulty settings or none at all. Adaptive difficulty is a different tool for a different job.
>>553791467>>553793269>want to learn to draw>too uncreative to come up with things>spend hours copying wh40k models from DoW Ultimate mod and lolita fashion anime girlsSame happens when I learned to program in C++ and C#. I would like to make things but I don't have the creative mind to come up with good ideas.
>>553796064neatI think having fun is the most important part of it, everything else is secondary.When I was younger I wanted to learn to draw, but after while I realized that I didn't want to to learn to draw, I actually wanted to be good at drawing. So I just went through the motions, expecting that the enjoyment would come eventually once I'm good enough.Though I did do some watercolor sketches last year, those were a lot of fun

The only time I ever had drive to learn creative things was when making lewd content, learned the basic of javascript, html and stuff like that.Never finished a single project.
>>553796962There is a very specific lewd sandbox game I would love to make. But I'm also trying to get my porn addiction under control, so those two things would be very antithetical to each other and I'd probably hate myself if I made THAT my passion that I dedicate my free time and effort to

>>553735147Didn't Foxhole have some sort of player protest where the logistics guys refused to do their job because of an update and it made the game awful to play?
>>553810952Wasn't that Planetside 2?
>>553810952Sounds like EVE Online but somehow more obnoxious.
fucking finally
>>553810952Yeah I remember hearing about that. I think they got upset by the fact that the devs made playing logistics worse and worse with each update or something.
>>553810952That was years ago.Now we are waiting for the Airbone update that will introduce planes and plane combat. The dev stream about it will be Friday.
>>553734754I guess I'll be the one to say they are and I get exactly why steam is recomending those.Those are both screenshot simulator games. They have simplistic core mechanics you can learn and succeed with, with more complex mechanics locked behind a grind you largely don't need to care about. They both boil down to a lot of repetitive, rote actions even if you choose the "complex" (read: actually simple, just with more steps) systems. Both also allow you to make "your dudes". This combination makes them popular with people who want time sinks where they can take screenshots or talk about their adventures with "their dudes", even though its near or actually identical to any other run. They may choose to max X stat this time, go topless or whatever, but it still just boils down to having X solution to Y problem and anything else done is making the game more complex for yourself just because you can.Elona, Zomboid, Kenshi and Rimworld all fall under the same basic category and I wouldn't be surprised if it recomended Ellin or Rimworld to you if you played any of the above games.

Don't have any /indie/ games to bump with, currently downloading Red Dead Redemption 2
50 years in MS Paint to compile all the upcoming games I'm looking forward to, some AA and AAA but mostly indie
>>553734754>>553748979I almost exclusively play horror games, rougelites, metroidvanias, RPGs and Vampire Survivors on Steam.Steam seems to think that this means that I only want to see MMOs, hentai games, comfy games and random AAA games in my discovery queue>>553571494You have a card game in there. Have you tried Inscryption? I really liked that one.
>>553827284Top my level of slop enjoyment
>>553827284Exekiller is one I'm definitely keeping an eye on. Have you seen the gameplay trailer they released recently?>>553827401NTA but Inscryption was fucking great. I think Act III dragged on a little to long, but in concept it was definitely greatShame I'll never get to replay it blind ever again
>>553828185Yeah, it's looking like the most promising immersive sim in a while, though I'm concerned about how boring driving between locations might be
>>553827515is that mouthwash?I still don't get the appeal.
Void Stranger spoilersFinished Cif route, ending gave me diabetes.
how's fear & hunger?
>>553844041Hard but fun.

spiderfag
>>553839110>>553838918
>>553860073I've been called spiderfag multiple times by this general, and I am not he
>>553868001all french are the spiderfag with no exception
>>553240103redpill me on this game, should I play it? I don't even know what the game's about, but if there are 3 of them, it should be somewhat good, right?
>>553868001>>553868438I am spiderfag. And one day I'll upload my pictures here so that you lots stop talking about me.It was funny at first, but I cannot say if you are idealizing me or just pretending to have a crush on me. It's very likely the latter to be honest, but if there's even the slighest chance of it being the former, I need to crush it. Find someone better that doesn't think about suicide constantly and doesn't drown himself in games to forget.
>>553868540>if there are 3 of them, it should be somewhat good, right?Do you also think remakes and remasters are better than originals? Because that's what these three are.
>>553868685>gives you a glazed-over stareJust put the new thread in the bad, please.
>>553844041It's the kind of game that's basically flawless, but turns some people into seething wrecks regardless.You can tell because they have no real critique against it, only angry ad hominems.
>try out MM8 Merge + MAW>new systems like persistent buffs sounds neat, but I'm a little wary about the monster rebalance>start out in MM6, normal difficulty>the group of goblins by the bridge to Castle Ironfist instantly melts my entire party>even the knight dies in half a second>can only clear out the map by kiting with bows and firebolts>projectiles are homing now btw>Goblinwatch>can't even clear one room because even the green goblins are tearing off health 1/3 at a time. The red ones just one-shot my toughest guy, and there's 3 of them in a group>Abandoned Temple>lol>just fucking lol'Solo viable' my ass, even a party of 5 just straight up die. I knew something was screwy when 'monsters have double health' was a selling point, but I figured it was just to counter the player buffs. There's a lot more going on than just that and either this shit wasn't tested at all, or only after getting the secret pseudo-cheaty super-buffs that trivialize the game anyway.
>>553871761>normal difficultyThat's where you went wrong. Start on easy mode. The devs say that normal might be too hard even for M&M grognards. The meta is also different, you will need body building.
>>553869779Someone else will have to do it, I'm at work, and I'll likely be for a while. >>553871761Lucky you, I never got that mod to work.
>>553873051don't worry, we still have 90 posts to gothat's like, at least two weeks of uptime with our current pop
>>553873501True, I got too used to faster generals.
>>553810952yeah but it didn't do shit and the game just kept getting worse
>>553839110what a cute dancenow keep going
>>553844041A bit of a mess but an endearing one.It is one of those games where a guide on the basics is practically required to actually have much fun but it is pretty good when you get the hang of it.
>>553844041Dagoth Ur is apparently in it
>>553872652There is no easy, normal is the lowest it'll go.There's an easy *bolster*, but bolster is for monster scaling after you level up and change worlds, isn't it? I see zero difference between easy and MAW, which it resets to on new game.
>>553874598>There is no easyCheck the extra settings
>>553828185Yeah, Inscryption is one of my favorites. I never really knew where it was going next. I agree about act 3 dragging a bit but that was a minor blemish I suppose. I am just sad there was never a DLC that let you properly play the game as controlled by Grimora or Magnificus since the glimpse we got of that in the finale were fun.
>>553874689Yes, that's where the bolster settings are.Looking at MAW's readme, it's apparently supposed to drop enemy damage and health by 40% compared to default, so I was wrong. But either that doesn't work, or it doesn't affect already-spawned monsters (meaning, the world you start with), because 9 damage is ~1/6 of a goblin's health in both difficulties.
Curse crackers: For whom the Belle toils is currently on sale for 75%. If you missed it at 90% during the christmas sale, it's totally worth getting it now.
>>553875470I'm playing Elona+ right now and my current build is actually a tcg player. Its basically scuffed Magic the Gathering with a lot of Yugioh references and its a lot of fun to throw a bunch of paralyse potions then charge him and challenge him to a yugioh card game to the death. When you win they die and drop their card so you can use them in your deck.
>still testing this shit>hop over to MM7 to see if I need to change worlds for difficulty to take effect>doesn't seem to work, dragonflies kill even faster than goblins and have ~20hp (6 in vanilla) despite being on 'easy'>they also slaughtered the entire town, a single group killed every guard with only 2 losses apieceWell this mod is scuffed. At least this was a mildly entertaining 5 minutes, until I unmuted.
>>553871761>>553879881Do what sseth does and cheese the fuck out of the game like the fanbase intended and the Devs didn't.
>>553881032I wanted to avoid doing that.
I remember when this shit was supposed to come out in fucking October.Hell, they can't even get that DX version of Shovel Knight out.
>>553883314they had to delay it to not conflict with silksongand also to figure out how to make it good and not go completely fucking broke
>>553883176That's literally how you're supposed to play though, some of the curves the devs throw at you are point-and-click adventure level stupid. There's living with your consequences and then there's "fuck you, you've softlocked yourself".Sure the game has soul but I think a lot of the reason people love these games is due to nostalgia.
>>553884697Sounds like skill issue to me.
>>553851416I thought you "people" were supposed to be contained in /v/
>>553894375First time here?
>>553894375This isn't your gay safe space.
>>553874035My DIS brand theory turned out to be right so I'm doing that right now. Though I'm kinda uncertain as to how it fits the overall storyline, since Cif's ending seemed to point towards Lev being the next step. But the game didn't give an obvious thread to follow like it did until now with Gray void > Gray normal > Lillie > Cif.Starting to wonder if I souldn't have started the DIS thing with Cif instead of Gray...
>>553902687fuck off nigger, this post has zero value

>>553875470>spoilerI think there is actually a mod that did the formerI think my main issue with act 3 was that I locked myself into a mediocre build and since it has no resets like the Leshy game I was stuck with that for the rest of my time.

Where the fuck even am I? I used up all my dynamite to dig myself out of the mountain and just kept going right. I passed a pyramid and a watchtower and now I found this thing on top of a cliff. Seems to be no way forward now. I should heal up but I have no idea how without going down a level and locking myself out. I only got the worm egg to dig. Any pro gamer tips?
>>553912847>Any pro gamer tips?do you want to discover things for yourself or do you just want to read the wiki
>>553913070Fair enough, I don't read the wiki too much cause the discovery is my favorite part. I was thinking something like hints about what to look for or something. It feels like in this game even if you have a vague idea on how to progress you'll still be clueless and kill yourself
>>553910496The one I plaid unironically had a good story and didn't try to hornybait too hard. Also competently playable f2p
>>553913387no like, that was a genuine questionI don't really see a problem with either
Well I finished Roottreemania last night and I regret it.Not that I finished it, but that I didn't wait a until today.It was getting late and I was too tired to make connections, but I was at the final stretch and I really wanted to finish it, so I had to use hints to get all the missing evidence wrap up the game.Most annoyingly I didn't even need that evidence. I had more than enough to intuit the answers, they were just extra confirmation.I played the itch.io version of Roottrees are Dead a couple of years ago and I found that it's pretty replayable. The sheer amount of articles and names are hard to remember over the years, so even if I vaguely recall the story and the final mystery, it doesn't really help with the game. In the expansion however the final conclusion is more important and probably going to be harder to forget, so I can't really play again "fresh".
>>553913731That's what they all say. >it's not like the others>it's not that badDo you realise that you sound like a battered wife?
>>553915525You sound like you want to talk me out of playing a game I haven't touched in 5 years
Playing some RDR2 made me remember how weird Rockstar games are.Wandering around the open world and just immersing yourself in the setting is amazing. I know few games that did this kind of thing well and I could slow walk around the environment forever.But as soon as you start a mission it's little more than an interactive movie. Hell there sometimes it straight up takes control away from you completely. Just did a mission where you and your buddies hide in a barn and control stripped is stripped for several minutes while your guy sits in hiding. Which is doubly weird since at the end of the scene you get caught anyways so why not at least give the player the option to move around and get caught earlier.I swear this is in the same vein as bossfights where losing gives you a game-over and winning gives you a cutscene where you lose. That's such basic level shit that could actually make use of what makes games unique as a medium>inb4 not indie
>>553916478AAA games stopped being games over a decade ago but I'm glad to hear it keeps getting worse, the whole thing is bound to crash at some point.
>>553915767I'm sorry Anon, I like you.But I don't care enough for that.
>>553876257You've convinced me.
>>553876257>>553919232Holy samefag. You could just be honest and shill your game openly instead of doing whatever you're trying to do.
>>553919501Take your meds.
So have you bought Evolution of Ages: Settlements as I told you to do or do I have to get spiderfag pregnant?
>>553920463Why would you want spiderfag to procreate?
>>553920463Oh nooo, don't do that.Who is "Jugo de Naranja"? What is the difference between La Madre and La Abuela? Aren't both of them "mother"?
>>553922804>Who is "Jugo de Naranja"? Dunno, I haven't finished the manga and haven't watched the anime.>What is the difference between La Madre and La Abuela? Aren't both of them "mother"?One is The Mother and the other is The Grandma.>Oh nooo, don't do that.You don't have a choice in the matter.>>553922583>Why would you want spiderfag to procreate?To have little baguette eating spiders.
>>553922804The character is called Hugo but it wasn't spic enough, Naranja just means orange in spic. In DBZ you have characters with various forms identified by their color. The form with color being stronger than the base form.Abuela is grandma, yeah the madre is her kid.
>>553827284isn't pragmata already out?
>>553919232This game is pretty neat.
>>553926036Nah, just the demo. I'd know, I've been excited headpat Diana since.
>>553926221>I'd know, I've been excited headpat Diana since.You know that Hugh will die right?
>>553734754>I'm pretty sure Project Zomboid is NOT similar to Amazing Cultivation Simulator, and certainly fucking not Space Engineers.You would actually be surprised.That being said, do people still discuss it at all?
>>553926538Hugh isn't small and cute so idgaf.
>check exanima page>update 0.9.5are they actually finishing the game or just packing it up to get done with it?
>>553930921I don't know that game, but version numbers don't work how you think they do. There's nothing stopping them from going to 0.9.10 or 0.10.0
>>553916478It's strange and it feels like a product of team division. Like they have one team making the "cinematic story" and a different team making the open world.The story is exactly why I could never play that game again. The imsim-like elements are great, I wish the whole game was shit like that. But it's slop made for the lowest common denominator American.
>>553932605How do semantic versioning work for early access?
>>553936794Same as released. First number is the major version, which is 0 because it's not released yet. Second number is the minor version, which can be literally any number. Numbers after that are increasingly minor versions.If you do nothing except release big milestone patch after milestone patch, it'll go>0.7.0>0.8.0>0.9.0>0.10.0>0.11.0etcIf you release smaller updates between, the rightmost number increments>0.11.1 (added a couple new enemies or something)>0.11.2 (added a new gun)>0.11.2.1 (fixed a bug with the new gun>0.11.3 (added a new building>0.12.0 (new gameplay system, new level, rebalanced a bunch of other stuff)>0.12.1 (added some new enemies to the latest level)When they go to 1.0 is completely arbitrary. It's just whenever the devs think the game is done enough to be fully released. In a linear game that means the story is probably done.
>>553912847>Any pro-gamers tipSeek orbs of knowledge, they unlock new spells the first time you get them and afterward they get added to the loot table permanently. Also dont worry too much about not being able to go back up, tgere are plenty of means to do so, just gotta find them.
>>553918609>it keeps getting worsedoes it? I'm not keeping up to date with them, I feel like it's always been that bad desu. I've been complaining about games being interactive movies ever since playing CoD 6 for the first time.>>553935687Yeah that's so jarring. It's impressive how much attention to detail there is in the game in the way you can interact with the world and how characters respond to stuff you did I know it's all smoke and mirrors, but an impressive high effort illusion is still impressiveBut there are two early scenes in particular that stand out to me. One is where a drunk stumbles on a railway bridge and the game forbade me to rescue him with the lasso that the game just recently taught me how to use.The other was one of the bounty missions, where a female serial killer seduces a man to kill him at their picnic. And there is no way to save the guy, because you have to the woman bring in alive. But if you try to Lasso her, before she stabs him (even if you do it at the last possible moment, where she has the knife out and lunges towards him) he will attack you to defend her.That last one is especially baffling, because there is so much effort put into little details in the game, I can't imagine it would have been too much work to code in a little time window during which he doesn't aggro, have him say a little line about how you saved him and run off.I think after enough time I could probably still replay the game but it would probably appeal to the movie-part of my brain more than the game-part.
>>553907150They're from this.They're spoilers silly.
I will get spiderfag pregnant!Also I'm playing the remaster of DoW. Don't die.
>>553912847You have lots to discover still.
>>553936794>semantic versioning work for early access?There aren't any rules. It can be anything.If the first number changes, your save is not expected to work.If the second number changes, there may be content changes.Third number is bug fixes or number tweaks.

>>553938405Nta but AAA games nowadays are such shit that even diehard nintendrones and codfags are getting utterly done of the games, basically every corpos are trying to be EA on steroid and they're basically falling apart because no one want to deal with them with the insane pricetags they get and the abysmal quality control.
>>553851416This anon is just being a retard right?Just asking because if there is actually troon shit involving major characters I would rather know now than get jumpscared with it later on in the game.

>>553955364Joy mask wasnt in the game at the time. They just promise a future reward.
>>553955606Oh yeah that is the wording I saw on the wiki. The Freedom mask also only unlocked after ep4. Now I just need to figure out how to get to the Memory Hole.
Are there any space games where you can just absolutely PISS machine gun fire? I think Eve online does it, but fuck that noise, I need something single player that's not a second job to play.

>>553956795One of the best turn-based tactical medieval combat games to have ever existed. It is so good that I'm hype for the dev's next game, even if I intellectually know that it will disappoint me.Battel Brothers is even better with the Legends mod, but I advise "wining" at least one crisis(end game events) in vanilla.
>>553956872Hmmm 2D. I was hoping for something that actually has 3 dimensions. I feel like that's half the point of a space game. Otherwise it might as well be a boat game. Oh well, is it any good? I haven't really hard about it.

whos making it?
>>553960204your loss
I was recommended Jet Set Radio but there is no way to play the game without pirating it or buying an original copy. I however found this on itch.io and I was wondering if its worth playing compared to the original?https://upheavai.itch.io/jet-set-radio-beyond
>>553961392>Good amount of mods? Legends have more content than you will be able to play in a year. And has lots of addons/submods.>DLC worth it? Yes, they are needed for Legends.>Build variety? Sword and shield, two hand sword, axe and shield, shield and spear, bow and crossbow. Those are some of the ones I use more.>Spears useful the entire game?Yes, but in limited quantities and you need to have powerful dedicated damage dealers.
>>553960204The devs are actually super chill, they said they don't mind if you pirate the game but that they'd prefer that you buy it if you like it and they give away older updates away as free for demos. So if you don't care about being on the cutting edge and a couple versions behind you can get the whole game for free on their website.They also sent a dude an email when he bought two copies just to make sure that he meant to buy two copies.
>>553960204It's mountain blade in space. Give it a chance bro.
The last 50 hours or so of Blue Prince are going nowhere fast. I might need a nudge from someone. I have 7 letters found and all 8 door puzzles solved, but I feel like I've hit a hard stop. I've been grinding the secret constellation, the Blue Tents hints, Treasure Trove Hints, and Announcement Board hints, but every time I get a new hint it's for something I already solved. The big thing I'm stuck on is "castling". After the latest Treasure Trove hint was finally relevant to something I haven't done, I grinded runs until I could get a rook room and a king room on either side of the boiler room and tried switching power between the two, but nothing happened. I pieced together the CASTLE riddle a long time ago but I assume it's useless for now. Am I on the right track at all? I've tried so many things with the king and rook rooms that I'm getting sick of the game.
>>553956776Sparcebourne 2, during the main story you get the opportunity to give your faction an unique type of ship and its pretty good, kinda blocky but it has like 7 weapon points or something and there is a type of turret that is basically a laser minigun.
>>553962696How about maces and flails?
New thread>>553964557>>553964557>>553964557
>>553962895>>553963272They do sound chill, and I appreciate that. But honestly it not being on steam is kind of a pisser for me right now, payment wise. Got steam wallet bucks available that I wanted to use. It looks like a nice game, too. but I'm really looking more for something in full 3D. I'll keep it in mind for when I want to play a 2D game in the future.
