he basically directly told people to try and raid the discord (which didn't work because they preemptively shut down admission and are doing vetting processes nowadays for entry, lmao) also a lot of them were/are incensed that you can't join up with the putus templar, the literal crooked-spine troglodytes who obsess over genetic purity, even though you don't really even join up with factions in the game as a whole

I ended up learning the vim keys because of how many roguelikes (and other games that need 8 directional grid movement like DROD) I played on a laptop. I managed to pick up the editor pretty easily years later because of it.

All this talk about Caves of Qud have made me interested in it, but I don't know how "old school" the game is (graphics aside, I guess). Like, is it actually accessible or is it more for deep roguelike fans? I'm basically saying I'm bad at roguelikes and have never completed TOME but like exploring and building characters and whatnot.

Qud's very deep but friendly to noobs. i think it's easier to parse than TOME and built more around exploration than Diablo style lootin-n-shootin

It has deep systems but you can have as much fun as you want interacting with them superficially. It doesn't really demand a lot of system mastery to be enjoyable and engrossing.

Also you can turn off permadeath if you want to explore the world without splatting your first 30 characters at Red Rock

Ah Map posted:Does everyone play Qud with permadeath off?I always die almost immediately when some monkeys throw rocks at me or something like that. No but it's a great way to get into it and learn The beginning is easily the hardest part for a newbie, and the mid game gotchas are more entertaining to learn/die to imo I feel like qud has evolved past its origins at this point, adding save states is just visible acknowledgement of that reality

I believe Qud recently added a few distinct game modes with checkpointing (i.e. autosaves) whenever you enter a friendly settlement.

I play with permadeath off always because I like to explore more than I like to work on my build or whatever.

I play full permadeath because going into an area you've never explored before not really knowing what threats are waiting (beyond a general theme, maybe) is a rush. You can always make another character, and a full campaign run in CoQ is only like ~8 hours once you know what you're doing, maybe even less if you actually follow the XP curve "as intended" instead of playing it safe.

Yeah, I also play Qud with permadeath on. The combat is fun and fair, and personally I find making the journey from level 1 wanderer to immoral moon-king with a dozen different builds to be the fun part - once I hit the point nothing can reasonably kill me I'm done with a character.

Picked up Tangledeep on sale the other day. It's a blast on Switch! I managed to clear 12 floors on my second run. The pace of play feels unique among roguelikes, and it allows for slow, cautious play without a ton of downtime. The item dynamics and general economy are different from other RLs in a truly refreshing way.

Obsidian Prince (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1373260/Obsidian_Prince/) looks interesting (and cute). It's the beginning of Early Access though, so it may not be extremely content rich.

Yeah same. Game just feels pretty flat, there isn't really anything dynamic about it. Also for a game about running dungeons, it doesn't feel like that at all.

Loddfafnir posted:Obsidian Prince (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1373260/Obsidian_Prince/) looks interesting (and cute). I was looking for a new RL, so I decided to hop in. It's pretty fun so far. You're basically going through dungeons that consist of interlinked rooms (a la Darkest Dungeon, but from a top-down view), where each room is a classic bite-sized RL action. In each room you choose minor boons from a random selection from your deck, and you have additional boons randomly drawn from another deck. So one turn you might get energy from charge attack refunded, and the next turn your basic attacks do stun damage, so smart play is rewarded. It's all pretty simple so far, but the boons require you to make small choices on each turn and the structure is quite more-ish.

There is a strong one-last-dungeon-and-that's-it effect. There is a lot of potential in the future, and the devs seem reactive. And the music is great!
