Anyone on here playing Obsidian Prince? I was watching someone play it on Twitch and it looked pretty fun, if a little bit limited at this stage in terms of content available. One of the two creators (I believe it's a wife/husband combo who are the developers) was in chat and answering questions, and I liked the answers he was putting out. Very open and honest about release schedule and planned time in EA. He also took feedback from chat in terms of ways to improve the game or new potential mechanics to look into. So I wanted to see if any goons had given it a whirl. I'm usually pretty cautious about trying EA games as don't want to burn out on an unfinished game, but have also had some great experiences like with Battle Brothers and Trial of Fire.

Awesome! posted:it took them 6 years to get saving and loading in? The Catacomb Kids dev is currently juggling multiple projects. He's also been working for several years as part of Derek Yu and Friend's upcoming Action52like, UFO50. I believe the collection will contain a few roguelites, but the UFO50 game Tyriq has been been in charge of most recently is Onion Driver, a top-down onion delivery game. It looks fun!

Needed something to scratch my RL itch and after reading about Rift Wizard I decided to give it a whirl. Very very fun so far. My best was getting to Realm 16 off a Fireball / Annihilation build that spawned friendly bombs / imps respectively, but it just ran out of punch as enemies started getting way more life. I've had some decent runs with Deathbolt and Icicle as main spells, but only realm 6-10. Are there any fun easy starting builds that anyone would recommend?

PotatoManJack posted:Needed something to scratch my RL itch and after reading about Rift Wizard I decided to give it a whirl. I have a lot of fun with the ghost fire build, the basic components are nightmare aura, fireball, and the skill ghostfire. Throw fireballs at anything in nightmare aura until you get ghosts, ghosts do fire damage, so whenever they hit an enemy that also took dark from nightmare aura that turn you get more ghost, and so on. Where you go from there I haven't decided, hungry dead would mean your ghosts would occasionally create more ghosts on their own, but I'm not sure how dependable that would be. And Dark+Fire immunities are paired together pretty often, so you want to branch out pretty early. If I ever learn to survive longer I was thinking I'd branch into poison, which synergizes well with both dark and more minions.

Finally won my first game of unexplored  I got the dragon slaying achievement, but not the one for exploring all levels. Do you have to uncover all corners of every map for that? according to the map of levels, it looks like i at least visited all of them. come to think of it, i collected way more than 48 arrows and the archer achievement didn't unlock either

Does anybody have any tips for rift wizard? I've been trying to play pretty conservatively, usually take one of the summons as my first skill and then split early sp between more spells and a decent upgrade for the summon, but i routinely get overwhelmed and smoked by floor 3.

In case anyone is playing Getsu Fuma Den (? shout out if you are), I just discovered for the first time that after defeating any boss you can go directly back to your compound, keeping all your materials. Just keep going right past the gateways to the other worlds. Before that I could not figure out why the gently caress it was taking me absolutely forever to save up any resources despite picking tons of stuff up from chests. The progression is still super harsh, haven't actually upgraded anything yet out of the 4 options but at least now I know I can actually get decent amounts of resources to help me upgrade.

Sunless Skies just dropped on consoles, with some new overhauling update. What's the consensus on this sucker? I remember hubbub years ago about it being sorta unfinished, and essentially being Sunless Seas with a new paint job. But that was years ago, and I like Seas fine enough. Hmm. Hmm. space...

pumpinglemma posted:Does this mean UFO50 might actually come out? It’s been a very long time with no updates that I’ve seen, but I’m definitely hyped for it. UFO50 is still in the works, yes. Tyriq Plummer streams his side of the development process every Tuesday, while the other 4 active devs on the project generally keep their UFO50 work private. It's not really surprising that UFO50 is years behind its projected release, the feature creep on creating 50 good games for one compilation would be catastrophic. I do very much think it will be worth the wait, though. The developer streams have been very exciting to follow, with Tyriq hopping from unfinished game to unfinished game adding in polish and mechanics that take a game from something that sounds like a interesting idea to being something I want to play right now.

50 NES-style games. I would say the bar isn't very high but there's a pretty big gulf between good and bad NES games.

I got the AWS Autocannon in Cogmind and I don't know how to keep this run fun  Do I just run headlong into every enemy group and hope they surprise me? I want someone to kill me. I tire of this. This carceral existence. I wish to tread the roads of mortality once more. My gun won't stop loving firing itself before I get to holler at dudes

Unexplored 2 is pretty loving cool. I really really like the TRPG-esque system where you "roll" for checks. It feels like they added a whole D&D layer on top of the already-excellent "classic roguelike in real time" translation the first game did, and it has actual graphics now too. If anyone's wondering about the extent of the Early Accessness of it, it seems the game is playable from beginning to end with limited character creation options. I'm sure some stuff in the middle will be added and fleshed out as well.

after one million years tome has updated again wow!! it's pretty much mostly bug fixes, a really weird change to caldera/scourge pits/etc spawning that no one asked for i'm pretty sure, and "Reduce the rate at which rares and randbosses learn new talent trees" so hey arbitrary deaths because you didn't inspect every single monster might drop again. depending on how much of a reduction it is.

Some UE2 tips: Only the destructible thorns cause damage when you walk in to them, you can slip by the actual interactable ones without fear Parry doesn't always reduce damage to 0 Stuff spoils if you don't use it (food, consumables, etc) so keep an eye on those Boars are loving dangerous

Unless I really lost a thread on things within the last update or so all those months back in terms of class reworks, that's an Amazing sort of fix for Sand Breath. Perhaps the new Japanese and Korean translation support-in-progress can serve as heralds to another era of more sustained dev momentum vs the more incidental bolts from the blue that have entrenched of late..

I started playing Vault of the Void recently and I know people knock it for being extremely dry and uninspired in terms of theme but the "play your cards to beat the enemies" part of the game is so god drat slick and fun. I fell out of love a bit with StS and this is exactly similar but different enough to scratch the same itch while being new and interesting.

The gameplay's fine, though I'm not a fan of how enemy damaged is handled. Namely it isn't, as far as I've seen, possible to stop damage by killing the enemies who are threatening the damage. Which is kind of a dealbreaker for me.
