i had the alien trapped in the garage for a while, i could have killed it by sending my rover in there then remote controlling the rover, but i wanted to keep him alive edit: i got a variant of the planet that seemed populated enough with creatures and robots that it was like i was just some dickhead stealing stuff from an active civilization. they even called in the fighter jets on me juggalo baby coffin fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jul 4, 2018 |

I played the game without realizing it had an active radiation buildup as a game feature. I stepped away to take a shower and make dinner. Came back to advanced super-cancer.

Dmans lives, *this* close to breaking into the mainstream. Then again I am bad at marketing, Drake asked for a key but I told him there are no dragons in Dungeonmans. My dream, dream of all dreams, is that some kiddo is going to look at dmans the way I looked at cotw and think "I can do that, I *have* to do that. How do I do that?"

I'm actually pretty sad i've not tried that. Did he keep updating SV-4 with more "stuff"? I think he was planning on doing so but didn't keep up.

juggalo baby coffin posted:i had the alien trapped in the garage for a while, i could have killed it by sending my rover in there then remote controlling the rover, but i wanted to keep him alive I never thought of that! I independently figured out flushing it into space, but haven't yet figured out how to take it with me. I have a few ideas I can try next time thanks to this discussion, though: - shoot it with the rover - cycle the doors in such a way that the room it's in gets depressurized without flushing it into space, then wait for it to suffocate - see if there's a way to disable the doors Next time I play and get an alien I'll try one of these and report back on my demise. Angry Diplomat posted:FYI doing this has Consequences of the instantaneously lethal kind (do not fire alien weapons in or at your ship, it is not intended to withstand them) Perhaps it's best I never thought of that, but now I kind of want to try it. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that at least some weapons can safely be tested in the cargo bay.

SV-4 is one of those games that actually benefits from reading the manual, although the journal on the computer in your quarters that you start out reading generally has warnings about the radiation as well.

dogstile posted:I'm actually pretty sad i've not tried that. Did he keep updating SV-4 with more "stuff"? I think he was planning on doing so but didn't keep up. Yeah! There are still updates coming out periodically, adding little quality-of-life changes, bugfixes, and new content. At one point I suspect I managed to get my ship infected with some sort of sentient computer virus - I started seeing a LOT of console failures, and the life support and medbay consoles were crashing with suspicious regularity; I became even more suspicious when I found an alien record detailing a Skynet-style robot uprising. I also keep finding artifacts I haven't seen before. There are a lot of weird doodads to dig up, now, and apparently the "record of civilization's collapse" endgame has been expanded and there are several more items to find. e: oh, and you don't start taking radiation until you leave the starting room (or start playing that roguelike on the computer console) now.

RyokoTK posted:I like that there isn’t a ton of statistical persistence because it means when I play with randos and my character is 15+ levels higher than theirs, there isn’t actually a meaningful disparity of power so it’s not a case of one player doing all the work. Yeah persistent mods would make the game either unbelievably boring(if the game wasn't rebalanced around this) or incredibly awful for fresh saves(if the game was balanced around this) because finding weapons and upgrading them is literally 90% of the power progression in a given run. If you carried over upgrades you'd just max out a good pistol and use it almost all of the time, or you'd pick a nice common weapon and trick it out to the skies and use that instead.

On this note, I bought my 9 year old a Chromebook for him to have during a 3 week trip to Europe. Not a lot of games that are both available and working properly for that system, but one that fills both criteria is Sproggiwood. He is super addicted to it and has been playing whenever he gets some free screen time after a day out touristing. He wants me to start a new game on my iPad so we can race each other to the finish.

I'm YAVPing an Angband variant no one here plays but i'm proud god dangit. the serpent of chaos is a huge rear end in a top hat and makes morgoth look like a scrub. composband is cool and so is angband.live (Your Premiere Place To Play Angbands™), but maaaan that total playtime. i could have cut some hours for sure, but still. angband variants are time vampires.

Last I tried angband.live it didn't support subwindows for poschengband and its variants. I don't know if I can stand playing like that.

I'm 100 hours in and still haven't figured out how to kill them. drat that's a lot of hours! The skulls seem to be ghosts or phantoms and yeah annoying but killable. Ranged Veil blessed bows don't work and gently caress me if sanguine melee works. Have you tried any magic or any potions? poo poo, can water and fart elementals die? Fire and lightning are easy! As for the big boss Veil, they're not too bad except for those drat death elementals that spawn in. Almost had her beaten...

EDIT: ^ Sil is cool but only an Angband variant by heritage; its gameplay is almost nothing like any other *band.Unimpressed posted:What's the best ways to get into angband? IE which variant and is there a good guide to get you started past the first couple of floors? Vanilla Angband is perfectly fine for getting started; I'd hazard a guess that it's the most approachable for a newbie. For getting started, roll a Half-Troll Warrior, max STR/DEX at chargen, grab a dagger, and faceroll through enemies. That should get you down to dungeon level 15 at least. Current Vanilla is very reliant on ID-by-use; the only identification options for consumables are to use them or sell them*. Most consumables are safe to use; there's a few gotchas but they're all early and pretty mild IIRC. Equipment can be identified by wielding it in a context where its abilities are relevant. Once you learn an equipment property, you learn its "rune" and can recognize it on all future items, so you only have to identify e.g. Resist Fire once, and eventually you should be able to recognize every item completely on first glance. There's also scrolls of Identify Rune. If you want more details, I did a screenshot LP of an older version of Vanilla (including starting with a Half-Troll Warrior), and there's a guy named fizzix that does video LPs. * Vanilla also has a "no-selling" option where selling items only identifies them and does not give you any money. In compensation, money drops in the dungeon are increased. This is the best goddamn idea ever and it retroactively makes me pissed off at every other game where you're expected to hoard a bunch of shiny magical useless crap and constantly optimize the value density of your backpack. In Vanilla you can forget about all that and just carry poo poo you'll actually use. I don't want to be a hoarder in videogames, why do so many of them reward that behavior?

i would agree, angband itself is the proper introductory *band; the rest, barring sil, expect some angband experience

So I picked up Dungeonmans during the sale largely on account of this thread’s ever present recommendation, and don’t play many traditional-y roguelikes outside of Dungeons of Dredmor and Sproggiwood though I’m hoping this will be a nice transition game - any tips for someone starting out I should be aware of?
