Don't ask me why but I was suddenly in a google hole trying to solve this for you. I think the rad cover art for this game I never heard of called out to me. If you haven't already seen it https://www.crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2014/01/game-134-warrior-of-ras-volume-one.html has a bit more history and doesn't suggest whether the game was actually published, but there you go.

Cheers for the recommendations guys, it looks like 'village simulator' + 'dungeon crawler' is a little more niche than I thought it was!

Mistover seems like it has potential judging from it's demo and I definitely appreciate getting to play a snippet of the game early but drat fire the person who came up with the idea of placing a 10 minute time limit with it being this type of game.

I had seen that review before, but not connected that with the actual ruleset in the game. The game was originally published for the TRS-80 only by Med Systems, who later either merged with or changed their name to Screenplay, it's unclear which. In the original (much nicer typeset and illustrated) manual it says: "THE GAME is available, though, if you are interested. Contact Med Systems." Too bad they've been out of business for 30 years. And yeah, the cover art is pretty rad, like a dime-store Frazetti. The C64 version has a weird pixel-art version of the cover and a theme song.

Don't know where else to post this but I just want to tell someone. After countless attempts, I have finally, at long last, won a game of Streets of Rogue. Only by awesome luck and playing an easy character (Vampire), but gently caress, I'm so glad I'm through that barrier. I think 24 hours played to first victory is the longest any rogue-lite has ever taken me. I'm dreading the idea of doing this again with a character that doesn't have a skill like the Vampire or Doctor. So many runs ended in Uptown because I couldn't complete a mission or even gracefully fail it. Really fun game though, glad I bought it.

Nauticrawl is out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/922100/Nauticrawl/ Be warned though, there is no directions on how to play it (by design) so it might take a while of pressing buttons to discover what everything does. Sound design on this is excellent though!

Cardiovorax posted:Not sure that really counts as a roguelike at all, even if it's in the name. KeeperRL is an effort to recreate the gameplay of Dungeon Keeper in a Dwarf Fortress-ish format, which means it kind of looks like a roguelike, but is really more of a straight RTS game. It's been a while since I played, but you could control your hero and go off into other maps, there are (very simple) dungeons and different types of overworld areas. There was also like an adventure type mode where it's more like a traditional roguelike with a proc gen world but it also includes other player uploaded keeps.

When I played it, the impression I got was more DK-style "possessing a minion to lead squad-level assaults against enemy dungeons," which I guess is dungeon crawling in the loosest sense... but it leans heavily towards the strategy side of it and I think it's probably not quite in the spirit of the request.

Yeah I guess so, it's is like DK and Dungeons 2/3 with squads except it switches into turn based mode when you take control and you can use your main "keeper", so feels more like a roguelike.

Though I dread to think how it would have gone had I not lucked into the vampire abilities that let you eat people when full and eat without alerting others. That last one was a godsend for Uptown, I was able to just walk in and murder targets in full view of others.

Its fairly offtopic, but since it's been mentioned, I'd recommend staying away from Dungeons3, it's basically DK2 but worse, with added super-terrible RTS elements (think a-move) for 50% of the game. That Dungeon RL otoh, looks fun.

Vertigon posted:Hey all: I've been a lurker in this thread for a long time, but I haven't posted in a good while... This is drat fun! I'm not sure I've ever seen more visceral vehicle turn based combat so cheers for nailing that. Seems like you could move your code right on to sailing ships and have a high seas pirate roguelike next! This seems pretty proper roguelike to me too. It meets at least 1/2 the rules the Germans came up with. I played a little with the controller and it seemed fine. My controller cursor seemed to get lost in a couple menus but that's always a pain with Unity UI stuff. I jiggled the mouse and could start moving through menus with the controller again. If you are using the Unity default input stuff you should consider grabbing Rewired or Incontrol from the store. I think picking up stuff after you blow someone up is a little bit of a pain. I'd rather auto-hoover up stuff from a couple squares away or have enemies drop one loot bag rather than multiple. It looks pretty good in play, but your screenshots aren't terrifically eye catching. I know the apocalypse is usually drab and all, but I'd consider at least one terrain set with a bit more pop than the city/dirt ones you are showing off at the moment.

And yeah, that They’re Just Kissing perk for the Vampire is almost too good.

MISTOVER's demo is literally a convention floor demo by and large---so the time limit makes ample enough sense. A meatier "normal" demo is coming either with or sometime before the actual full release in roughly a month. Etrian Mystery Dungeon, which we still need the sequel to brought over, crossed with Darkest Dungeon is a hell of a pairing in terms of Niche niche and popular sensation---combined with their own twists on it(while hopefully avoiding the Gigantic pitfalls that ultimately undermined the latter), all signs point to it being a winner unless something weird happens.

Captain Foo posted:Escape from Aeon is a sci-fi goon-dev Rogelio roguelike that's in early development that's given pretty good impressions so far Hey thanks for the kind words! We're bad at doing social media updates but still constantly working on it pretty much every evening (though keep in mind it's a side project for two full-time working people) The last month or so has been focused on getting proper saving-loading working. Previously had just "load back to state at start of floor" - which was relatively straightforward thanks to seeded level generation. Very happy to get it working though and hoping it'll stay stable going forward. We really should update our demo...

Xik posted:Here is a invite to the roguelike server, it's not just goons but it's chill. Keeperrl is pretty good. Not sure if there's anything else like it out there. As an FYI, the game's getting mod support next update. It also has several built in mods from community members. One of which adds in all sorts of Keeper types (Ranging from a mechanical oriented "Gnome Keeper", to an undead/vampire oriented dungeon, to expanding the base type by a lot, to adding in the vanilla good guy factions as playable, etc, etc.), adds a ton of new monster types and civs, and generally just expands everything. It also got updates that allow for infinite replayability. One adds in mineable z levels (which the aforementioned mod also does a bit with) and has a post game mode where you get attacked forever after conquering all the enemies on the map. The next update is reducing the current RTS "build bigger goons to win" play in favor of more random elements like new craftable loot you get from slaying monsters.

I need to figure out how to better train that, or I may just switch to auto-nabbing anything adjacent... It's all about making people understand what they are picking up.

I don't think Loader has a specific gender in RoR 1. The linked patch notes there call Loader in RoR 2 female though. Unlocking and choosing different skills sounds like a great way to give the game more replayability.

The environments are definitely the thing that could use some work. You can make purchased assets work a bit better by spending some time on their textures. Plenty of successful indie games use purchased assets but usually they paint new textures (which saves having to do meshes/uvs/animations). Substance Painter is fairly cheap and can make it easy to crank out a new texture even if you don't have 3D modeling skills. Tweaking your color grading makes a huge impact as well. You already have a pretty killer implementation of your gameplay concept here which is a hell of a hill to climb. Being constrained by UI and environments ain't so bad.

Void bastards tydy DLC is out. haven't seen a tydy ship yet but it feels really good to play this again. the game actually starts a lot harder now that they removed the first ship being a preset one that gives you a buzz box to start with the bushwhacker, so you might have nothing but a firearm for a few ships. Thought I'd finally get my first death when I had 0 ammo and 20% health on the very first ship due to super unlucky turret locations, but I pulled through and things are looking up. and luckily that first ship was a WCG ship to get rid of my starting quirk of "25% of the time you fly to the wrong place on the star map"
