I mostly wish I could use touch controls to zoom in and out while playing on the Surface. I was unable to form a cult my first go round because the "start a cult" tile appeared offscreen without my realizing it, and the touchpad is imperfect. This game is basically made to play on a tablet; so I'm surprised that functionality isn't built-in.

I didnt even realize that you could zoom at first (on pc), and I spent an unreasonable amount of time squinting at the tiny text on the screen.

I've been playing it on my MacBook, with the screen pressed firmly against my face. DreamShipWrecked posted:Cultist Simulator is pretty good, it is very much a plate spinning game and if you are playing safe it is a very slow but steady game, but its entertaining for what it is. I think it's deceptive, due to all the timers spinning down around you, because my impression so far is that it's a game about creating a cursed lineage that eventually produces all the conditions needed to lovecraft up the whole world. Is that not your experience? (I only played for an hour last night).

mysterious frankie posted:wait, you can ZOOM? I've been playing it on my MacBook, with the screen pressed firmly against my face. It's kind of hard for me to say because I'm still trying to decode some of the systems. Each new failure/win state does produce more kinds of starting conditions, yes. I say it's a slow burn because at the start you should be focusing on accumulating the stat cards through work and books, followed by lore. Cultists don't really become useful until you have a good base supply, then you can start really going for it. A few mechanical tips that are technically spoilers. Most of the game is about discovering this stuff. - There is a chain of alteration to change your lore into the right lore, write it down. NEVER transform your last lore of a type or you will break this chain. - Health is the most important stat in the game, hardest to get and the easiest to lose. - Grab a card to see where it can be put. Click on an empty card space in a window to highlight what cards can go in that slot. - Use cards in any slot that they fit in. Also try cards in different orders, because sometimes both can fit in a slot but one has to follow the other (for example, play the translate card before the book to translate) - The type of lore a character has defines their abilities. - Cults can only use one type of lore, depending on what you start it with. - A candle below a card window means the card will be consumed. - Go slow. It's a marathon, not a race. Most negative stats fade over time. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Jun 1, 2018 |

Now about the writting in Cultist Simulator? I'm more interested in crafting funky cultist scenarios. Is it good? I'm really interested in this game.

I think it's good, but I was also feeling kind of harried by all the counters and the text was so small, so I wasn't able to really concentrate (there is a pause function, as well as a zoom, apparently, that I should be using, so that might change the experience a little). My favorite theory so far is that I could maybe make an extremely boring man who is really dedicated to his job, is plagued by weird dreams that he ignores, then dies of old age after a lifetime of accumulating wealth.

There is a lot of text on events and cards so it's definitely a good idea to pause the game a lot to read things and plan what to do next. Also there is an ending for doing just what you described

Another QoL cultist sim tip, dont stack cards that exhaust like stat ones, lay them out in rows. Then when you "collect all" them they will automatically return to the rows without throwing your board into disarray E. Chud is used a lot is used a lot to describe the "alt right gamergate" shithead types CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jun 2, 2018 |

Chud is a really good spin on chad because it means cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller and it's just a great word.

Someone mentioned the art from Year of the Ladybug a while back, and it seems the guy is releasing an artbook. Game's no closer to being done, naturally. Same for Routine

I think he wants to make his own game but hasn't actually done anything about it. I think he works at a game company but it is a pretty minor one. Honestly the art is really good but as far as horror goes it is kind of aimless.

I'd love a physical copy of the artbook, and I know $60+ for 88 pages isn't entirely unheard of, especially for what amounts to a vanity project, but still, yikes.

It's pretty good, but it's hard to recoup resources. I could do most of the individual stories well enough, but trying to do a couple in a run usually ended swiftly after starting the second. Not sure if it's a balancing issue, there were ways to recover I was missing out on or I just needed to git gud, but it was fun for an evening

1stGear posted:This looks interesting. This actually looks super good. There’s mention that it was playable at PAX and some other smaller cons, will see if I can dig up some impressions of it. Edit: spoilers for what’s in the pax demo https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/8ol1rw/comment/e0740ef?st=JI3HADTE&sh=54870b0b quote:I played this game at Pax East. Unsure where I was in the demo, but it controls exactly like resident evil 2, similar UI and similar way of looking at points of interest. When a point of interest is nearby, there's sort of bracket crosshairs that zoom in on it. When you look at a point of interest, sometimes its in a first person view like with a puzzle, pushing levers or something. In the demo, I made my way out of a crashed ship. The crew was dead, I played as the girl in the trailer who is an android of some type. After making my way out of the ship I wandered a few screens and there was a cave, so I crawled down into it and inside it had a radio, a desk, a bookshelf, like some sort of secret base or something but with a old timey vibe to it. On the desk was the book "The King in Yellow". I took the book, and then the screen started freaking out (I guess I read the book?) and there was a lot of flickering with words scrawled across the screen. Then, there seemed to be a lot of programming errors and the "system" shut down. Piss Witch fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Jun 6, 2018 |

There was literally never anything blocking the Agony devs from putting whatever they wanted up, especially on Steam. There is no law that would have blocked them, in the US or EU. It's pure promo.

The argument is Steam would've pulled it, that's assuming the "unrated" edition if it even exists has like actual porn in it.
