Bozart posted:pbug how are you so adorable it is a hard life to live dscruffy1 posted:This game looks pretty neato, I might pick it up if it continues to tickle my fancy. I'd highly recommend both Swindle and Flinthook. For some reason Swindle has mixed reviews on steam and a lot of people complaining about the controls but they must be playing with their feet or something because it handles fine. Except for the upgrade menu navigation that kind of controls like balls.

Lazy Bear posted:I am also rather a fan of roguelikes, and thus will be following this thread with my Steam Wallet in hand. That said, are you taking suggestions for the Rogue's Gallery? Sure! If you've got something you'd like to see or think should be shown off go ahead and drop it in here. I've got a decent sized list already, but I might have missed something cool.

 UPDATE The Binding of Isaac Isaac is a Glazius posted:So they expect you to have bombs and lockpick in this district. Do they expect you to have other powers too? Hacking level 2 (the one that opens doors) and bombs are the only upgrades you're really expected to have. The game will start throwing security stations in now and then and those require Hacking 3, but it's not a strictly necessary upgrade. Yet. Quiet Python posted:I've been messing around with a game called "Tomb of Tyrants" which is kind of like "You Must Build a Boat" crossed with "Dungeon Keeper" but with rogue-like unlocks. anilEhilated posted:As far as suggestions go: are you going to do Leap of Fate? It's sort of a hack'n'slash card game with random skill trees and permadeath. Leap of Fate looks cool, I'll definitely check it out. Same with Tomb of Tyrants. And Renowned Explorers is on the list too, that one I might do a few on.

There's a way you can turn off background blur and camera 'dirtiness', that sort of helps but doesn't make major changes. I'll see if I can't throw up a comparison at some point.

 UPDATE Rogue's Gallery: Flinthook (2/?) There was going to be a video with an actual new game but I decided to eat a burg last night instead of edit it. I'll probably get it up either tonight or tomorrow. Glazius posted:So now another question - can you get to everything in a district 1 building with 3 bombs, or is RNG going to flip you off sometimes? It's pretty rare but sometimes you'll need more than 3. Occasionally the game will generate 2 or more 'enclosed' spaces and 3 bombs won't be enough to get into all of them.

To be fair I almost never buy the remote detonator and I've never actually upgraded it to level 2, so I might be wrong. I'll probably give it a shot in this next video, but I am a man who fears death so I generally go with safer options like Bot Confuse or the EMP.

Update: Nongunz (3/4)Glazius posted:Nongunz has some pretty interesting mechanics - the consumable stat buffs, the chargeable weapon wall, but it seems like losing is just really irritating. And do weapons have a total usable lifetime, or do they recharge when you take them out of the dungeon? Weapons have an ammo pool that doesn't recharge, so you'll end up having to buy them again after a few runs. Also dying is the worst, yeah. Having to rebuy a bunch of high tier guns and collect all your cards again is a big time sink.

UPDATE The Swindle: Day 23 This is it, the final Swindle! But what's going to happen to this thread!?!? it will soon undergo an amazing transformation into the Roguelite Thread. I've still got an absurdly long list of games to get through and I'm not bored of these things yet, so why not keep this train rolling. There's also another game I found that I'd like to spotlight, but I haven't decided if I want to do that in this thread or start a new one. We'll find out soon enough! I'm also going to add in some thread participation elements after the next update, but we'll get to that later.

Here's a video me dying: Death.avi On further thought I think the reason that the UFO cops didn't immediately spawn when I grabbed the Devils Basilisk is because one of the upgrades I bought makes cops slower to show up once the alarm has been sounded. I didn't consider it before because I never actually buy that upgrade, but I'm pretty sure that's where the discrepancy comes from.

 WELCOME TO THE ROUGELITE THREAD YOU ANIMALS Here's an update: Out There Ω Now it's time to change things up a bit. Using NEXT LEVEL PROCDEDURAL GENERATION TECHNOLOGY I have have generated three games that you can vote between to determine the next update. They are: Catacomb Kids A brutal platformer roguelike that pits you against the deadly Catacombs aided only by magic, steel, and your quick reflexes. Traverse procedurally generated dungeons and hack, slash, burn, and blast your way through hordes of things that want to kill you. Cryptark A 2D sci-fi shooter where you take on the role of a heavily armed privateer seeking to earn government contracts by boarding deadly alien space-hulks. It's up to you to strategize a plan of attack, pick an equipment loadout, and destroy the central core to be victorious. Spelunky it's fuckin spelunky god drat Post your vote for the next game, should you desire. Voting closes on Sunday at midnight MST.

Cryptark appears to be the winner. Which is good because that's what I've actually been playing!Tenebrais posted:Nongunz My two cents: I dig the aesthetic and the fact that the game is deliberately obtuse and weird, but it's probably a waste of time to deeply analyze a game that cites *~nihilism~* as its primary influence. For roguelite it's super weird in how it handles progression. I'd still call it an alright game, but it does become a pain in the rear end to do anything in the later levels because you're basically going to have to just leave the game idol to get points, and that's not super fun. Eopia posted:Going to echo that earlier question of 'how in the world is Galak Z a roguelite'. I got it for free when it showed up on PS+ and am not seeing it at all. A whole two sites on the internet told me Galak-Z was a roguelite! I've never actually played it though, so maybe not. That wheel might need to be curated at some point.

 Crpytark (1/3) Cryptark is pretty good. Voting Station http://i.imgur.com/iv7UDwB.mp4 Here are the picks for the next update: Convoy Convoy is a tactical roguelike-like inspired by Mad Max and FTL in which you cross a wasteland in search of parts for your broken ship. Presented in pixel art and set in a future post-apocalyptic setting, Convoy is a squad based tactical combat roguelike-like in its core. Not The Robots You are a robot in an office building. You have to eat furniture and not get caught. A mysterious story unfolds. Not The Robots is this year’s most exciting Roguelike Stealth Furniture Eating Simulator. It’s a game with random levels, permadeath, and the goal of eating furniture - which is also your stealth cover. Sky Rogue out along the edges always where I burn to be the further on the edge the hotter the intensity highway to the danger zone As before, poll closes on Sunday at midnight MST. The game with the most votes will be the subject of the next video. Party Bug fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jul 22, 2017 |

$$$$ CRYPTARK CAMPAIGN MODE HUGE DEALS CLICK HERE TO SAVE THOUSANDS ON ALIEN MURDER!!! $$$$ In order news Not The Robots won, I guess? I did not expect this. Mzbundifund posted:You don't seem quite aware of how repair and failsafe systems work. Repair systems will always repair the most recent system destroyed, which means as long as you keep taking out systems at a good clip, the repair system keeps retargeting itself and resetting its timer. If a repair system is in an inconvenient spot, you can always just keep killing systems to force it to reset and it'll never actually accomplish anything. Cryohazard posted:I cannot believe how much you chumped Cryptark. I always tried to systematically disassemble the ships, you just bounced straight from repair to shield to core pretty much every time.

 Not The Robots This video's almost 20 minutes how could this happen. VOTING STATION http://i.imgur.com/ClDQwke.mp4 FTL: Faster Than Light This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat. Renowned Explorers In this strategic rogue-like you become a famous expedition leader in the 19th century. You form your own crew with the skills and personality to discover legendary treasures, while exploring randomized locations and stories on every new adventure. Galak-Z GALAK-Z is a modern, A.I. and physics-driven open-world action game, viewed through the lens of the classic 16-bit space shooter. Powered by the next-generation Cyntient AI platform, GALAK-Z puts players in control of anime-inspired spacecraft inhabiting procedurally generated worlds. As before, poll ends on Sunday at midnight MST. Tenebrais posted:I feel like Cryptark needed more in the story department. The backstory is straightforward enough, alien species loses their homeworld, looks for a new one from space arks, they don't make it, you're salvaging what remains (and eventually find a living specimen). It would be nice to know what was actually so special about them as to start off this shady government business. Maybe the game has more clues about them that I'm overlooking?

Belatedly, Renowned Explorers will be the next game.

 Renowned Explorers (1/?) I have a good feeling about this run! THREE GAMES ENTER ONE GAME LEAVES: Caveblazers Journey into a mysterious cave, fighting orcs and goblins with an abundance of weapons and magical items! Make friends along the way to aid your adventure, then watch in despair as they are crushed in to a bloody pulp under a troll's fist. Dungeon Souls ungeon Souls is an action-adventure roguelike dungeon crawler which draws heavy inspiration from Nuclear Throne, Risk of Rain, and Overture. Explore vast procedurally generated dungeons, collect loot, and slay hordes of challenging enemies! Full Mojo Rampage Full Mojo Rampage is a game that takes place within the confines of the Voodoo reality. In this realm only the most powerful rites and powers can provide a safeguard against evil. Dying is not the end, only the beginning to becoming a stronger voodoo soul! Vote for the next one, ends on Sunday midnight MST, blah blah blah. IAmTheRad posted:I'll be able to talk a bit about Renowed Explorers. I'm not 'good' like some YouTube people are, like I haven't even finished a game yet, but it's still a fun and unique roguelite. Quicksilver6 posted:Any chance we'll see sky rogue? Tenebrais posted:Spelunky was pretty much the original roguelite, wasn't it? As in, a game that took the random generation/permadeath concepts and applied them to a game that wasn't turn-based dungeon crawling.

Tenebrais posted:Personally, I feel like roguelites suffer when they run too long and you can't reasonably complete a run with one play session... Felinoid posted:Also I've noticed an odd trend with things you do videos on getting discounted on steam the next week. Probably just coincidence, but the sale being a coincidence wouldn't save us less money on the game.
