mad jack why does ire start draining the moment i stop to do literally anything? i really like the concept of a key-pressing frenzy resource in roguelikes but i'm also really feeling the need to have some time to consider my options when i'm not blowing up everything in a 15-second orgy of obscenities and random violence

I think it'd be okay if it ticked down out of combat to a reasonable floor, like, say, 30% max, with skills rebalanced around the assumption that you probably have at least a little ire. It wouldn't change much mechanically, but it would massively change the feel of the mechanic, which right now for me is "gently caress that poo poo". There's just something psychological about it that made me play it once and never again. Fake Edit Worth noting that this once was a long rear end time ago, so if you actually did implement something like that, uh... cool.

Yeah I gotta say, I got that one legendary banjo that builds ire early on so I did an ire build but once I realized it's a thing where your resource drops over time instead of by turns, in a turn based game, I disliked it so much I quit and started a new character. I think there's fundamental about the nature of that mechanic that means only a small amount of people will really be into it in a RL. Also I wasn't a fan of the big visual effects it has but that's probably just me. LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Apr 27, 2016 |

SG is the most out there class, and it might be a miss. I'm ok with that. I've always thought that barbarian berserker rage in a roguelike felt a little silly because the fiction is you're just blindly smashing things but the reality is you're measuring the pros and cons of each move. It doesn't mean ALL fast combat feels silly to me, if there were an Ip Mans class where you could school 100 guys at once, turn based would still feel OK because high powered martial artists are supposed to think and process at a rate that feels like time slowing down. Sort of. You know what I mean. Anyway, I had a beef with the idea that a player could go build Ire against garbage random encounters in an almost-clear dungeon floor, then walk across 10 empty rooms with a belly full of rage to bust it out immediately against the boss. It didn't *feel* like rage to me, but if the class *feels* like hot garbage to most people, who gives a gently caress what I think?

I don't think it matters much if at all if the "feel" of playing a class matches the fiction of how that class behaves, but I'm not much of one for flavor/'immersion' anyways usually so  I think it's fine for ire to drain quickly enough that you can't build it up on trash mobs 10 floors away and then walk it back to the boss, but that could be done with turn-based ire drain as well. If you want it to feel like "blind rage" you could introduce an RNG element-maybe it could be something like the extra shot ranger ability, but melee and more powerful, so whenever you hit a guy you also randomly hit another guy(another 2 guys?) in striking distance. So you're not totally in control(and are better off using the ability when surrounded by dudes aka a risky situation), but since you're controlling the base attack you're not just watching something happen either(add in a "lose ire more quickly for moving instead of attacking while tantruming" so you're incentivized to attack a lot to make the most out of the tantrum).

Zzz. I do like the act of throwing a tantrum, because every power is designed to be push button -> get result, no aiming necessary. And to some degree, it's ok if the class isn't for everybody, not every class should be. But I don't really hear about a lot of builds that focus on SG being a core damage explosion.

Rip off the cloning bay from FTL, horrible side effects optional. Broken ringworld shards strewn throughout the systems to show off the unlimited power of the ancients.? My original plan was to have it be kind of difficult to get crew members to be -10 dead but be so severely injured you have no choice but to lock them in the med bay/freeze them in the cryo tubes for a while. That sort of thing may or may not go in as I work on features. The cloning bay is a maybe but then having imperfect clones that don't have as good of stats is a possibility. There won't be ringworlds but there will be leftovers. This is an "ancient race left behind lots of poo poo" scenario but rather humanity found an infinite energy source and rode it for a few centuries. Humanity found the universe around them was pretty much empty and just went "well poo poo, now what?" That involved lots and lots of building and development. Then the power source turned off and humanity went "well poo poo, now what?" again and just tried to survive. Ringworlds never cropped up but there are some big space constructs that you can go find. Which leads to... Floodkiller posted:The ability to blow someone out an airlock/blow up a section of the ship and have the inhabitants thrown into space. That sort of thing will definitely be going in to show how dangerous outer space actually is. Part of it is of course finding hazardous leftovers, irradiated planets, and so forth. Yeah a derelict station would be really, really good to loot for parts and toys but if it's decaying it's probably dangerous. Some of the gear is stuff like powered armor that shields you from the environment for a while, assuming it doesn't get too damaged, and places you can't go without proper hardware. The plan is for sufficiently powerful weapons to be a huge danger because they can blast through hulls and expose everybody nearby to hard vacuum. Plus you'd figure that somebody with unlimited energy would create safe spaces in otherwise dangerous places. Maybe the equipment can be turned back on? Maybe it's too damaged. Maybe you found it still working but bandits were living there and the fight damages it. Oops. No idea how much of that will go in the game in the end but that's definitely in the plans. Yeah you might find a ludicrously powerful rail gun that can punch through anything but sometimes using it is just plain risky. andrew smash posted:This is a ludicrous request but I always loved EV nova and its multiple mutually exclusive plots that you trigger by blundering into them, so please include something like that. I'd like to, actually; I have a faction/quest system planned and part of the game is making nice with the neighbors (or, you know, just ignoring them). That's a bit of a pipe dream and is kind of a low priority. May or may not happen. I'm starting a Kickstarter. Hold me, I'm scared.

The technology would probably exist in the setting to do that sort of thing the problem would be powering it. That's not "core mechanics" stuff and would probably need to wait. Maybe a later expansion or something. It's definitely something I want because stomping around in huge robots is awesome.

Mercury_Storm posted:Moneys sent, but you might wanna put up some more screenshots or mockups of the interface or combat and stuff like that. Thank you kindly. Just vomited forth an update with a few screens. In retrospect I should have done that before but I was actually holding off on it to get some work done on some other screens. I'm rewriting some of the crew display code (right now everybody has the same head and only wears underwear which...may actually be a feature?) and redoing some crew inventory stuff. Actually that leads me to another question. One thing I've been thinking on is finding that happy balance between "there are an obscene amount of toys to play with" and "good lord I have to manage 20 inventory slots for each person in my crew?" I think what I'm going to end up doing is going toward fewer slots. There are three "hand" sets where you can have two hands' worth of items. Switching what is ready takes an action when dealing with a fight but I feel like it's a better way than saying "hey have an inventory, keep moving crap around all day." Rather you get some slots and can just click once to switch item sets. On top of that everybody gets a helmet, armor, and a few "accessory" slots. I'm thinking four of those. I'm also debating removing consumables entirely; more like stuff requires power to use or has limited uses per landing. The new X-COM does the latter one; nothing is gone forever except alien grenades before you research them. Or maybe making consumables way more powerful? Hmm... The other thing I've already (mostly) implemented is a complete removal of individual ammo types for weapons. Everybody just carries "munitions" and each attack consumes a certain amount of it. Rockets will take more than bullets but I hate, hate, hate juggling clips around and am probably not the only one. Lately I've been trying to come up with ways to make inventory management take less time and be less painful because let's be honest that isn't the fun part. Helical Nightmares posted:

Yeah I hate both managing ammo when playing and coding it. Either you end up with kinda pain in the rear end code for dragging and dropping ammo or you have to zip through the inventory all the time looking to see if any valid ammo exists for the weapon which can be bad if you want to have special ammo as someone might accidentally blow through all their super special stuff. I went with a similar solution for having a currency that all ammo uses and better weapons use more currency. That seems a lot simpler to balance and no need for a lot of art assets for every type of ammo.

Kind of the way it's being implemented at the moment is that the ship has its own inventory that is basically the main item pool. The dudes don't really carry anything other than what they're equipped with. You get loot in various ways but it doesn't really get "picked up" by the individual crew dudes. Loot goes into the ship's inventory pretty directly. The plan for that right now (I'm still monkeying with the implementation of loot you get from fights...scavenging functions) is that you just pick up generic "loot" that encumbers dudes but can't be used yet. Then once you finish whatever you were doing (or bug out because you're getting hammered on) it gives you a pile of goodies based on how much "loot" you have. This, I think, will also be a nice way to prevent things like piles and piles and piles of useless garbage. If you get a lot of "loot points" then it can be weighted to give you a cool thing and a few less cool things instead of like 500 lovely things that you have to sort through. The other thing is that I have a screen where you go through loot and can click on toggles that just turn things into scrap (or just toss it away) to make it so you don't have 5,000 useless things cluttering up your everything.

I'm not really happy that the necromancer dude I blinked next to did like ~500 damage in one turn and killed me. Whenever I die in dmans I always feel like it's because something that I couldn't have possibly expected happened, not because I did something wrong. Like an ice mage who is my level doing 2/3s of my HP in one turn despite me having a 66 ice resist shield with an extra 150 resist from an enchantment on it, plus a ring with even more ice resist
