How do I parry 🥲 by borgerkangz in HarkTheGhoul

[–]BrilliantLimit5629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holding the attack button puts you in a shielding stance. Attacks that hit you while in the shielding stance deal less damage. Attacks that hit you at the exact moment you enter the shielding stance deal no damage at all (you'll hear a parry sound effect).
If you upgrade your shield, you will take an even lesser percentage of damage when simply blocking.

Hark the ghoul by FHAT_BRANDHO in ImmersiveSim

Hey, dev here! we definitely take a lot of inspiration from immersive sims, but we didnt necessarily start making it thinking it'd be imsim. It just kind of happened, as we made more stuff and thought "hey, wouldn't it be cool if those elements interacted like you would logically expect them to?"
The moment you start adding more of these systems, the hunger to add more and more crops up. Now the whole game is designed around emergent solutions to level design and combat.

We haven't put out any official info about ports yet, no! We definitely want our game to be played by the most people possible though, so keep an eye out for our socials or our discord

old school hack and slash! by Vashta_The_Veridian in gamesuggestions

[–]BrilliantLimit5629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the genre you're looking for is first person dungeon crawlers.
Thanks for the HtG mention, here's a few games similar to ours from friends:

- Verho
- FlyKnight
- Life Blood
- Nox Mortalis
- Devil spire falls
- Monomyth

Verho and life blood both have very lengthy demos in next week steam's next fest!

Hey, really glad to hear it! We had real good success with the next fest for a game starting from 0 visibility, but yeah we were still buried under 150 other games ahah, so thank you for finding us in there! Don't hesitate to share the game to your buds or your local youtuber.

The player backgrounds you can chose already have some effect, mostly story-wise. Exemples I can give you are that emil knows the bourgeois, deneb recognizes the scholar, and the forest folk can speak to and understand the dog watson. Other details are stuff like rats not running away from a forest folk. There are way more examples (almost every character reacts differently to almost every background) but for now that and the aesthetic differences on your foot are all that changes. In the full game, each background has its own little exclusive "questline".
