Just cleared Rogue mode in Cryptark for the first time!  My 3yo picked the exo, so I ended up piloting the Jennet, which I'd previously avoided -- only two weapon hardpoints means you can't pick all of (reliability, firepower, defence, crowd control) like you can with the other exos, and its active ability is pretty disappointing. Having four remote nukes helped a lot in the later arks, though, as did finding a v-laser on level 3, and I ended up successfully clearing the final level with some careful play and a few lucky weapon pods (getting a railgun and being able to take out a bunch of subsystems through walls helped a lot while the ammo lasted). Next up is Cryptark Excavation mode. I have no idea what to expect.

I really love cryptark, but I wish there where 'harder' modes for when you've finished the game. Excavation's a nice capstone to the story, but I'd prefer a nastier main campain somehow.

Fairly substantial update for City of the Damned for, perhaps, ARRP 2017. http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=City_of_the_Damned 2 new factions, one of which being some crazy tri-linked Angelic Mimics~

So Tangledeep is coming to Switch. .... Huh, cool. What's cooler: quote:When the Kickstarter launched, and even into the Early Access, our monster corral system was pretty bare-bones. You could capture up to three monsters, which would give you passive combat bonuses. That was all. However, as of now, it's a totally different story - and if you're really into the whole RPG-sim aspect of many classic RPGs, you're going to love it! I love how big and wild this game is.

I knew the day would come when Death Road to Canada would be in a bundle. My patience has been rewarded with other games that I will probably never play. Worth it.

As much as I love Dungeonmans, and Caves of Qud, and Tangledeep, the concept that my three favorite sets of Indy Game Devs have now come together gives me hope that we may one day see a full collaborative work from all of you.

What's a Switch? With Tangledeep, Zircon remains the primary creative force. He has a grand plan, points the tanglejeep at the horizon, and hits the gas. I offer up some minor course corrections and help deepen the ideas that make up the plan, including looking for pitfalls down the road. Code wise I've been running around in the codebase having fun fixing this and that, making more stuff data driven, and helping Zircon up his code game by pointing out language features and programming concepts he's not yet familiar with. I still get to do some writing stuff too! Obviously there's less time for dmans dev, but I did about four hours worth of it on stream today and fixed up a mess of bugs. Oh, I also coalesced weapon/armor item cards so that multiple stat displays will combine. For example if you have Stellar on a weapon 4 times, you won't see "Deal 5% more Starlight damage" four times, but rather "Deal 20% more Starlight damage" once.

Honestly my biggest problem with Qud, Dmans and Tangledeep is that I boot up steam, look at my roguelikes, and get hit by decision paralysis because they're all good and fun to play.

StrixNebulosa posted:How difficult is it if I have problems getting past the second area of Nuclear Throne? Well, FWIW, with some luck, I have almost beaten the final boss, and i generally suck at these games, so read into that what you will. It is fast, and just the littlest bit silly, and offers a lot of customization options, so there's that. (I also have yet to get past level 2 of NT.) Also, sucking for a long while is part of the Roguelike experience. Then, one day, it clicks. Had that with Neurovoider and FTL, among others. Still waiting for it to happen with DMans.

I love playing twin-stick shooters despite my lack of skill, so I'll slide it back up the wishlist! Thank you! DMans: I actually beat it! ... before madjack gave the Final Boss a bunch of buffs, so my strategy of stat-grind until you're super beefy probably won't work. Probably.
