How about you play an rpg, you dumb nigger

>>3648347
Can't believe it's really coming out.

>>3648370
Elona was more of an RPG than 99.9% of the stuff posted on /vrpg/, all signs point to Elin being the same way.
>>
>>3648354
I'm not playing either of those because I'm not some NPC that can only play things that are currently being discussed.

It's Elona sequel-prequel

I might actually look into this, but what a gay name.
Have they even finished properly translating Elona even? Had to stop playing years ago because I just started phasing into pure moonrune territory

I don't play Elona but I remember some controversy over a high-level Door being unlocked within the recent years, or the highest level character was finally able to enter some unknown room or something similar.
It was either Elona, or maybe some game that starts with T? I only have vague memories. Anyway, assuming it was Elona, what was that all about?

I've seen that game posted around every so often and I guess it looks somewhat like a japense cataclysm: dark days ahead or dwarf fort adventure mode, just obviously more weeb. Interesting. I'll keep an eye on it, but fuck early access.

That doesn't sound like Elona
>>
>>3649272
I'm a longtime Elona veteran and I think juere executioner looks like winner. Juere gets more gains from food which is the main source of stat gains, executioner doesn't die until they run out of both HP and MP. Yerles has bonuses to learning skills and show be another strong race. Nefu gets a big fat +25 to speed, the most important stat and better spell gains. The speed advantage is diminished if you wear something on your waist slot though.
>>
>>3649244
they abandoned other EA games?

How do you make guests come to your house? I have a room with 4 makeshift beds eligable for guests, and I bought the "Open For Business" but no guests have come to the base. Do I apply to somehow apply that Open For Business thing to the room? How do I do that?

There were many attempts to make this game that got abandoned before reaching the EA stage

Aw, opened the thread thinking about those cute little gremlins.
>>
>>3650242
I honestly don't get the price complaints. 20 dollars seems pretty reasonable to me.
Also there's no reason why an early access game should cost less than a full release, at least in any significant amount imho. Maybe some slight "early adopter" discount makes sense but you are still just basically buying the full game with an early access to it, not some lesser version of the full game.
>>
>>3650428
>I honestly don't get the price complaints. 20 dollars seems pretty reasonable to me.
No, this is the only valid complaint. Better roguelikes are free and will remain free. Someone who has never played a roguelike before has many, many free choices which are infinitely better than Elona and it's new sequel, Nethack, Sil-Q, Infra Arcana, IVAN, Frozen Depths, Frogcomposband, DCSS, etc. All games that are much, much better than whatever this game will ultimately become are free, so only after spending hundreds of hours playing all of those is it logical to play Elin. What is in Elin is very, very easy to code and Japanese don't understand this because they don't play real roguelikes.
>>
>>3650435
Shut up, dude.
>>
>>3650439
I made the thread. No reason to be ignorant, these are the facts and I won't ever mislead people.
>>
>>3650443
You're pretentious.
>>
>>3650445
Elona is built on ADOM. ADOM is Nethack with all the fun mechanics stripped out. Elona is ADOM with all the fun mechanics stripped out replaced with boring grinding bloat. And that's how Elin was born.
>>
>>3650448
Yap yap yap, stop being a vampiric fuck.

I have given you 3 days to discuss the game. You did not discuss the game. Now I am discussing the game.
>>
>>3650475
>I have given you
lol narcissist
>>
>>3650435
I don't even think of Elona a as a roguelike, it's more of a hybrid of a number of RPG subgenres. Plenty of people who aren't really into roguelikes seem to like it.
>>
>>3650435
I'm not sure that this compares exactly to those games you posted but either way, you can go play them instead of this. I do like free shit too and I think it would be awesome if this was free but 20 bucks is still a fair price for this imho. The level of seething anger this seems to cause is just weird. Imho.

He got away with that with Elona because it was an obscure japanese title. I'm a bit surprised it made it onto steam.
But then steam has become pretty degenerate. There are loads of sex games on it now.

But I didn't need it since I carried off an inn bed from town for 3 furniture tickets long before

Well, I have no choice but to confiscate some poor fuck's bed then. Imagine living in the world where some stinky adventurer can just barge into your house, wave some blue ticket and take whatever he wants.

Lift more. Get stronger. You have to go quite a lot over your 'maximum' weight before you can't move. If you can move, you can teleport.
>>
So this is really grindy? I don't remember there being much of that in Elona unless you actively wanted to sperg on pointless things.
>>
>>3652083
not in elona she isn't, you have to get rid of her as soon as you get her so that you can either buy or catch a better pet (or speedrun a shitty god pet) due to the charisma restraints on pet limit, by the time i even cat get her i already have much better pets due to the fact that i don't set foot into vernis until after i've detonated a nuke in the starter cave

iirc in elona, if you give a usable item to your pet, they will use it on the next turn
however i do not know/remember if that extends to things like rope, or iron maiden, which cause instant death when used

So I noticed that Luck altar weighs much much less than the other ones and managed to drag it to my base. How do I convert it to Jure's altar? Is there some spell, or do I just offer junk and cakes to it?

There are zero better sandbox RPGs than Elona and Elin available at any price.

>So this is really grindy? I don't remember there being much of that in Elona unless you actively wanted to sperg on pointless things.
The whole game is kind of grinding, but you can just go around doing whatever you want and let your stats rise naturally, and then it shouldn't feel like a grind. Elin is a horrible game to play optimally, just like Elona.
>>
>>3652709
Worship Jure and make an offering of sufficient value and Jure will take over it. Use either a heavy corpse or something Jure likes like iirc gems. If you fail you will be cursed with a heavy iron ball, wait for it to go away before trying again

Maybe some slight "early adopter" discount makes sense but you are still just basically buying the full game with an early access to it, not some lesser version of the full game.
This heavily game dependent. A lot of early access games are quite honestly not finished products. I dare say MOST of them are like that. There's no shame in that, I've bought a ton of EA games before (they were all trad roguelikes, I implicitly trust traditional roguelike devs more than other game devs for no reason) and most, if not all, of them have had enough content to be considered full games. Some of them more content than actual full games, but that doesn't change the fact that EA is often incomplete. Unfinished quests, large chunks of content missing, the fact you're essentially a playtester and will likely drown in bugs.

I sincerely doubt the people who played Baldur's Gate 3 back in 2020 would say that the game then was "not a lesser version" of the full game released in 2023.

Elin is better than Elona. Elona+CustomG is a more complete experience as it's been modded for well over a decade. If you don't want to play Elin yet because of early access, play Elona+CustomG.

>>3666832
It's likely someone who feels personally attacked by Japanese games. I'd wager it's some sour Chinaman, considering their activity is always during peak China hours. It's become obsessive since they search every board exclusively for this particular game, even trying to hit jp threads.
My guess is that someone's ass never recovered after the year-long 7 concurrent Genshin threads got pruned.

It looked up DCSS because you posted it and it looks like shit slop. At some point the video game has to be playable and not circa 1988 graphics with ASCII icons. If Elin is so easy to code, make your own.

DCSS is nothing like Elin, anyway. That's just a typical roguelike where you're stuck in a single dungeon the entire game. This is a sandbox RPG.
