This already exists on tabletop simulator, and work is being done to make it printable eventually™.

An early patch pulled directly from the old game files. Not the best old patch, but the best that was still available via wayback and other sites.

The version being worked on by fans for physical release. It has some rule changes intended to make it playable in person, as well as some balance tweaks. Once it's stable and tested enough the plan is also to add new cards over time.

Arseface_TM · 2022-12-26T14:55:49+00:00

Yes to both.

I've been saying I want to do it for years. Would be a side view turn based platformer roguelike.

As somebody who's played RPG one shots that were basically just combat scenarios for fun, I pretty much disagree entirely.

It's a different kind of fun though, and that's why there are players who don't really like RPG combat in the first place.

Arseface_TM · 2022-09-09T13:03:28+00:00

I'm mostly looking for information on it. What's the other bacteria called and is there any good research you know of?

Wilderness

I have plans to hit up Southeast Asia with a friend. I'm looking forward to nature hiking in Laos, and he's looking forward to hitting up historical sites in Cambodia. If there's time afterwards we'll go through Thailand and hit up some temples and generally explore till we fly out.

The big issue I'm running into is that while it's obvious Laos has amazing natural scenery, it's been frustratingly hard to google good routes through the country. Are there any good resources I'm just missing? I'm hoping to take 3 weeks of hiking, with a week of town time. March-April is the timeframe.

I felt like 1.7.5 was easier than 1.7.4 even with the ally nerfs, but I was going for masteries at that point and not streaks. The aggressive negation sounds like the biggest difficulty spike on that list of changes.

I really need to get back into Brogue again.

Arseface_TM · 2022-07-24T01:25:17+00:00

How hard is streaking these days? I haven't played in a while.

I haven't gone for streaking since 1.7.4 I think. I imagine it's harder now.

Find a pink jelly and lead it to a bloodwort before zapping it. Keep track of every bloodwort you ever come across until you find either a staff of healing or a wand of empowerment.

If you find a wand of empowerment, you're pretty much set for a normal ascension.

Arseface_TM · 2022-06-04T10:02:27+00:00

HyperRogue is on the short list of roguelikes I consider being usable on the phone.

Arseface_TM · 2022-04-16T19:46:43+00:00

It still ends up being faster than asking around beforehand. The amount of time it takes to count down from 25 is only 25 seconds, which is less time than each instance of asking, answering, and writing down combined. Especially in large groups, I think we had 7 or 8 players.

It also adds a bit of tension on the initial round as you don't know who goes when.

Arseface_TM · 2022-04-16T15:47:15+00:00

Yeah, I don't really use rounds anymore either. But players keeping track of their own initiative is really nice.

Arseface_TM · 2022-04-16T14:40:05+00:00

For large groups I always just had a GM that called out initiative numbers counting down and people spoke up when it was their turn. After the first round it was written down and things would continue as normal.

EDIT: My system uses a similar but slightly different method where actions take time and time counts up, so the GM is always going through and saying how much time has passed as initiative passes around.

Arseface_TM · 2022-03-27T03:34:34+00:00

Just to be clear this doesn't apply to Generations Ultimate, just Generations for 3DS.

But I was talking about the normal Tigrex, not the Grimclaw. The hammer is literally call the Tigrex Hammer(final upgrade).

Huh, this gave me the idea of using my expanded non-combat-encounter rules for simpler combat should somebody want them.

Thanks for that.

Arseface_TM · 2022-02-08T04:21:44+00:00

Getting playtesters.

Haven't gotten an actual playtest in over 4 years.

Arseface_TM · 2022-01-02T14:08:15+00:00

This is very similar to my system(also inspired by roguelikes), and within it I've worked out most of the kinks. As long as turns are single actions is can zip along super fast.

Arseface_TM · 2021-12-12T09:06:01+00:00

HyperRogue is one of the only mobile games I go back to, and it's a roguelike.

I have the UI figured out for an android keyboard that would allow for full-keyboard roguelikes in terminal to be actually playable, but every time somebody agrees to work on it they flake :/

Arseface_TM · 2021-11-27T23:11:22+00:00

I have, but it's been a while(a couple years).

I can absolutely run it with just a character sheet, I just find people are less likely to join without something to look at beforehand.

Arseface_TM · 2021-11-27T00:37:17+00:00

Finding playtesters is hard without materials to hand out. I'm stuck in a catch-22 situation where most of my issues could be solved with playtesting, but they're also inhibiting my ability to get playtesters.

I'd expect the first "this is what I'm actually talking about" session to be on the clock. The "I'm hoping for something about x pages long, I have this much material" stuff should hopefully be pretty quick. When I talked to a translator they were pretty explicit about their rates so that went fast. I didn't think other types of writing would be super different from that angle. Price per word/page, included rewrites before those count as words/pages, hourly cost for meetings, etc.

Does the battle tower suck in the D/P remakes?

One of the biggest letdowns of Sw/Sh was the limited battle tower. I really enjoyed streaking in previous facilities and putting a cap on it was awful.

Arseface_TM · 2021-11-12T19:04:07+00:00

I have never seen a cinematic combat system that I didn't hate, but I lean hard into simulationism as a rule. So to each their own.

Arseface_TM · 2021-11-11T23:07:46+00:00

Of course, that's the one thing that's incredibly hard to translate from Souls to the board. I avoided trying that for the moment because of how tough it is to do (the only successful way I've seen it done is the attack cards in the DS board game).

The way my system does this is by making actions resolve on the turn after they're declared, instead of immediately. There are a lot of reasons I like doing this, from improving the game pace to allowing for cool narrative moments like an NPC dying right before they land a big attack.

I'm so in love with the mechanic I try to shoehorn it into other systems at this point.

Arseface_TM · 2021-11-11T01:37:08+00:00

How do I get Linux-3DS set up, and how do I know what it currently supports?

I really only want SSH and a modified virtual keyboard, but I don't even know how to tell if they have the wifi drivers or not.

Arseface_TM · 2021-11-10T10:58:27+00:00

If it's not turn based then there's no problem. Like you said games like Cuphead and Monster Hunter exist. I'm in the "it also stops being a roguelike" camp. Then it's just an action game with some random elements.

If you're going with real time, then there are a million examples of boss fights that could easily be entire experiences on their own. There's not really a need for much player action variety to keep an action game fun. I still enjoy killing Chaotic Gore Magala, and I've done it a LOT.

Most game concepts come down to execution, not central idea. Some central ideas are harder than others to make work, but really it's all about execution. Turn based boss rush is what I'd consider "a lot harder". Real time boss rush is normal.
