The Lone Badger posted:Has anyone managed to unlock the werewolf yet? Yes. You need a weapon designed specifically to bust ghosts. If you've unlocked the rest of the classes, look at the starting gear, you might see something appropriate.

Edit: whoops, forgot to read the next page!

I quite liked Streets of Rogue but the melee combat feels like a mess. It's so fidgety. You run around and then hit your enemy or don't. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Happily there are so many options that you don't really need to take part...

 I love the gameplay loop of SoR, I love how even with the few missions there are, you can go about solving them in a lot of ways. I'm sort of enjoying the sense of humor ,even. But I don't see myself ever buying it because the controls feel so mushy.

Has anyone in this thread played Mission: Thunderbolt? This was a macintosh game from the late 80's and according to Wikipedia it is a roguelike. Anyway, I didn't see it mentioned in the OP so just wondering if anyone else had heard of played it before. I spent an inordinate number of childhood hours playing this game.

Some, and it was part of a series of Roguelikes at that----though the third, and perhaps best, remains perhaps trapped forever on some ancient DEC machines. One of the earliest casualties of the Western Commercial Roguelike scene. :/ The timing and luck of business wranglings just didn't line up.

having also tried streets of rogue, it seems pretty neat but i also agree the controls feel like they're working against me

The only time it really felt difficult for me was trying to do backstabs with the assassin. That was overly finnicky considering how punishing it is to screw up a camouflaged backstab.

Hey all, as you may or may not know, the 7 Day Roguelike Challenge (Develop a roguelike in 7 days) has just completed - the full list of games is available here but I thought I'd come and shamelessly plug my own entry. Cyan Security is my 10th entry into the challenge, wherin you play a security robot on a mission to suppress disorder in the city district - a sort of chain quest that leads you through a few different areas. A couple of unique features I implemented are 2x2 tile enemies (and a 2x2 self when you're charged up!), and a 3x3 final boss. This came with a few challenges in hacking apart my old line of sight and path-finding algorithms. Also a health pool which you draw from to use abilities - meaning a careful balance of not using them too much, but just enough to stay on top of encounters. In last years challenge, along with making a game, I ported some lighting code into my engine. During this year's challenge I expanded it to include coloring and neato things like flickering and pulsing glow effects. Liberal use of these has made everything look pretty extra sweet, so I've been putting extra effort into promoting it... It came out very cyberpunk. Download Here, and let me know what you think.

Just completed it on first attempt very cool and atmospheric! Slight bug with the final boss, if he is partially out of sight he doesn't do anything and you can just shoot him to death. Also was i really unlucky or do ranged weapons not drop until the third area?

Glad you like it! You were unlucky, if an equipment drop occurs it's equally likely to be armor, melee or ranged. And yep, looks like the boss has a sight range of 7 while the hero has 8. I bumped it up and released a post-challenge bug-fix version

There were a few interesting roguelikes for classic Macintosh. Someone already mentioned The Dungeon of Doom, but there was also a port of the original Rogue with B&W graphics and mouse support.

I started out with a small set from here, several uears ago and its grown and grown over each comp. Incidentally, being based off a CC license it means the work ive done is also freely available under the same license. Pm me with your email if you want the full set.

Zerilan posted:Is Sproggiwood good? I got it in a recent Humble Bundle but haven't installed it yet. Yes! They're both fantastic, but in different ways. Sproggiwood is a roguelike-lite, in that it's meant for short sessions, you don't have permanent characters (you do unlock permanent items/upgrades) and it's highly tactical, very focused, lots of fun. Caves of Qud meanwhile lets you start the game with four arms, capable of starting fires with your mind, and prone to teleporting at random because you're a terrible mutant. e: In other words, Sproggiwood is good for playing, and I love it a lot, but Caves of Qud is the story generator that you will be playing for the next decade because if you don't want to be a fire-starting mutant, why not be a flying gunslinger instead?

My four-armed gun-toting mad scientist knife fighter accidentally befriended about 50% of Qud because the ancient ruined military barracks he was exploring turned out to be overflowing with pygmies and legendary robots that absolutely everyone hated for questioning the origins of the moon, burning people in effigy, making offensive jokes, and generally being petty assholes. He is now welcome basically everywhere and can wander aimlessly through quest dungeons like Mr. Magoo because if anything takes a swing at him half of the level instantly converges in a frothing rage, incensed that anyone would dare to strike Knifey McNerd, bane of douchebag robots.

Hitting that gamedev grind after a while. Here is a video of my roguelike after I've done some work this week. Most visible improvements are animations, some debug modes, minor but nifty dungeon gen techniques, and making your torch fade. every. step. you. take. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82ts5ON9fiM Forgot I left some Skyrim music going while I recorded

Should it have been lighting up the lower right corner as much as it was, though?
