How do I get in to the containment area in DoomRL? I don't think I can blow up any walls here. Does the micro launcher not break walls or something?

Blowing up walls is generally the way in, yeah. It must be the launcher. You can also get in with random teleportation from a phase device, I think. And you'll be able to get the guaranteed missile launcher to get back out.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:How do I get in to the containment area in DoomRL? I don't think I can blow up any walls here. Does the micro launcher not break walls or something? The micro launcher does break walls, but needs more shots to do so. Math: Walls have HP 10, Armour 10. This means you need to do at least 11 damage to damage them at all, and at least 20 to destroy a wall in one hit. The rocket launcher does 6d6 damage, so 6-36 with an average of 21. The micro launcher does 5d5, 5-25 with an average of 15. What this means in practice is that the rocket launcher has a 99% chance to damage a wall at all, and a 63% chance to destroy it in a single shot. The micro launcher has a 92% chance to inflict damage, but only an 8% chance of destroying it instantly. So while you can get into The Wall/Containment Area using it, expect to spend significantly more ammo. (The advantage of the Micro Launcher is that it fires faster, reloads much faster, and is more accurate than the RL. In exchange for that you get a smaller blast radius -- which can be good or bad, depending on circumstances -- and less damage, and thus less terrain-damaging ability as well.)

Also notable is that plasma weapons only apply half of armor, so you can bust walls with a plasma rifle and some patience. Conversely, shrapnel weapons (most shotguns) double armor and probably won't bust down a wall if you sat there all day firing. Just be careful around cover with plasma shotguns...

Even if the wall had 0 armour, you couldn't destroy it with a shotgun; terrain features (except for doors, barrels, and some crates) only take damage from plasma, acid, or fire. You can shoot down doors with a shotgun, though.

Which is why so many players have died at least once after accidentally destroying their own cover with a plasma shotgun. Shotgun spread with plasma damage and armour penetration is really good at turning demons into chutney, but it's also really good at turning narrow hallways into open fields. The first time you get your hands on that sweet plasma shotty, you start probing and corner-firing like you're used to, and suddenly a quarter of the level has no walls and you're fighting 4 Mancubi at once.

lmao! How the gently caress did you manage to get a crystal as a warlord, this is even better than the Blood Golem (albiet less lethal) Did the tower vaults still have that LoS/lack of collision thing going on where the vault residents could just mosey out to say hello and you could sometimes see in?

Pladdicus posted:Can someone explain what's going on there? The player lost a Dungeonmans to a Champion Cryoduchess, and she killed the player using one of the ice towers she can spawn. Since that monster dealt the killing blow (the ice tower), the game promoted the ice tower to boss of the dungeon, gave it a random critter name, but since they don't have a museum subtype it gets Powerful Default String! as a taunt message. Also, towers shouldn't have bosses promoted when you get killed in them, they should always be run by warlords.

Pladdicus posted:Can someone explain what's going on there? Strewn around the Dungeonmans land are giant towers, normally these towers have super buff Warlord bosses at the top in various themed flavors. However, Dungeonmans also has a thing where if some random peon monster kills your hero in a dungeon, that random peon becomes the boss of the dungeon, getting suitably buffed in the process. ... except that shouldn't be happening in Warlord towers, and apparently it is, giving whatever peon gets promoted to bandit lord massive super boss buffs. In this specific case it's even funnier, because he managed to get killed by an ice tower thingy, which is a special attack spawned by another mob. And that special attack got promoted to boss. e: drat you madjack <  >

I hope you saw in the Dungeonmans thread that I'm still able to hit things normally with Anavrin as well. I guess I'm pretty good at breaking things through death. Also, I took your advice on the fact that my biggest problem with enjoying the game is traplord dungeons (or all the chests in them with no autoexplore), so I just don't enter them anymore. I'm having a lot more fun with the game doing that as well!

Anyone have any thoughts on SanctuaryRPG? I think it's a pretty cool game, I would say it's definitely rogue-light and a little grindy but all in all a pretty fun timekiller

When I was young I wanted to make a big rpg or an mmo A little bit older and I wanted to make an fps or an rts Then an fps mod A bit older and I wanted to make a roguelike Then a small slice of a roguelike Now I want to make a match 3 puzzle game in Unity I figure if I wait another ~5 years I should be down to 'vaguely interested in making an android tic tac toe app' (in theory I just want to get familiar with unity so I can do the roguelike thing again with a firmer platform, in practice I think I'm gradually adjusting my expectations to match my ability )

The scale of "ease of creation" to "depth/flexibility/usefulness in the 'real world'" goes something like: RPG Maker -> GameMaker (drag-n-drop only) -> GameMaker (with scripting/GameMakerLanguage) -> Unity ->  Real Coding With the difference in depth/flexibility between Unity and Real Coding being mostly academic for a newcomer.Edit Though be advised that if you ever decide to go public, default RPG Maker assets carry with them a massive stigma of "cheap POS made by an idiot" until very clearly proven otherwise. (Sturgeon's Law is a bitch.) So, if you ever want to sell one of your games, you'll have to either graduate to another engine, or get very good at making your RPG Maker games not LOOK like RPG Maker games. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Mar 13, 2016 |

The Sanctuary game itself peters out to "ironic" grind and instakills not that far into it alongside some trite repetition---they wanted The Bullet Points and marketed hype to carry the day while then failing to follow up on anything beyond the Black Edition launch in the first place as the game got released for real. Had they actually followed up on it in earnest, the core of the core notion to the project would've probably actually turned out to be something fairly novel, but...yeah.

Poison Mushroom posted:The scale of "ease of creation" to "depth/flexibility/usefulness in the 'real world'" goes something like: That scale isn't as linear as you might think. The newest RPG Maker is done entirely in HTML 5 and Javascript, and they encourage you to "go under the hood" and mess with the underlying code. I would say RPG Maker is just as flexible as Gamemaker (with scripting) if you are making something that vaguely resembles and RPG (moving a character around a 2D plane, some statistics, etc). Of course I will admit that I am much more familiar with RPG Maker than Game Maker (I just started learning game maker). A simple rogue-like engine would take about 2 min worth or work to make (I know because I made one), you just need to right combination of expansion scripts I'm not planning to sell my game, but I'm defiantly not going to use the default graphics either. I'm a sprite ripping kind of guy, I like to steal my assets from NES games. Gives them an "indy retro" feel

Has there ever been a board game or anything of that sort (solo or otherwise), that really properly captures the feel of a roguelike? I can't really remember any games that even try.

I can't really remember any games that even try. The Curious Expedition is basically Mage Knight. I would say Make Knight is closest, with maybe chess puzzles coming in second. One problem is "permanent death" is a really bad board game mechanic.
