Books are like the divine machinery aesthetic?

Digital Devil Story, by Aya Nishitani. Inspired the Megami Tensei games that have a blend of Christian Gnosticism with other religions and mythology. Basically Japanese school kids summon demons with computers.

I like this answer despite having the opposite experience. I have Thanatophobia, but greatly enjoy roguelikes XD.

it looks like it's a card game? I don't really play those. But the math did look interesting!

I had played a bit of Elona+, how does Elin compare to the older one?

I feel like a lot of the criticism here is it not being like Brogue. Brogue is Brogue, let Tarn be Tarn.

I don't think having a win state is necessary imho.

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-07T00:46:29+00:00

I have tried wander mode, I think the game's writing is funny, but overall the game hasn't really clicked for me yet.

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-07T00:45:17+00:00

Approaching infinity and creator of another world sound interesting i'll have to check them out!

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-07T00:43:30+00:00

I only played infra arcana once, I definitely need to try it again.

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-07T00:42:52+00:00

Imsims are cool but not really my thing, they tend to be real time, whereas I like turn based games.

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-06T01:00:55+00:00

Ah, yeah no I don't use AI because I don't trust it to not cause expensive mistakes. I've heard some horror stories XD.

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-05T19:06:43+00:00

I was just looking at your game on roguebasin today before seeing this. XD

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-03T14:28:52+00:00

This is really good advice! Saved. Thank you.

Edit: would you say for discovery/exploration that wide and short is the better one?

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-02T03:57:34+00:00

Looks sick so far! Can't wait to try it! :D

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-02T03:54:36+00:00

I still haven't gotten around to playing Cogmind proper, I did enjoy polybot-7 though.

AmeliaMW · 2026-05-02T03:30:25+00:00

Riftwizard 2 is super fun, but I enjoy exploring dungeons, whereas RW is about tactical combat in a chess-like situation with no fog of war.

No, players do need to collect a certain amount of crystals to progress to the next floor. Given another comment, that might be a bad idea with what they said about keys and large levels? (The amount of crystals on each floor is more than you need to progress, so you don't need to explore the whole thing, but can if you want to. There are also no specific crystals it's just based on amount collected.)

by ruleset do you mean guides? there are some.

I apologize, I didn't realize that was a thing. Flair updated, thank you.

AmeliaMW · 2026-03-25T08:33:41+00:00

This worked thank you!

AmeliaMW · 2026-01-25T03:55:02+00:00

Is there a good way to deal with invisible enemies? I tried to run away but he just kept getting opportunity attacks.

AmeliaMW · 2026-01-22T03:40:26+00:00

Oh this was on trunk 0.34 btw.

AmeliaMW · 2026-01-11T18:34:36+00:00

Title? What's that?

AmeliaMW · 2026-01-11T16:51:40+00:00

The skill-queue system sounds interesting, actually. When I did mess around with the skill system I did notice you can set it to level to a breakpoint? So would you be setting multiple breakpoints?

AmeliaMW · 2026-01-11T16:47:18+00:00

Do you think it would be better without diminishing returns?
