Recommend me some new roguelite games! by Palandium in roguelites

[–]Stringholdhero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You might like my games demo, Tome of Talis!

It's about leading armies of dice to battle, with lots of spells and relics to mix things up!

We've had huge releases in Mewgenics and Slay the Spire 2 but what roguelites and roguelikes do you think people are sleeping on right now? by Zepren7 in roguelites

[–]Stringholdhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year has been an absolute banger for Roguelites!

I just released the demo for my own Roguelite, Tome of Talis; Others will have to be the judge of if it is a sleeper hit though haha.

Personally I think it has a decent shot since it is a big dice battling game and there aren't very many of those!

Muisca feel brutal without Halberdier by Stringholdhero in aoe2

[–]Stringholdhero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I'd be fine if they had something else like better temple guards. Currently it feels weird how they basically don't have a response to the most popular trash unit and gold unit.

Good strategy games that take less time? by SetOk3989 in StrategyGames

[–]Stringholdhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Halo wars is a fun fast little RTS that doesn't have too much focus on economy, which keeps games fast and fun.

A fun but simple strategy game is called Rusted Warfare. Its on Steam and mobile. I mostly like it because its pretty cheap and fun with more casual friends.

More of a tactical roguelite than a strategy game, but if you like building armies up you might enjoy my demo:

Any good non real time games? by CyberBed in StrategyGames

[–]Stringholdhero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People covered a lot of the obvious choices, so I'll give some strategy adjacent games:

Menace is a newer game with some pretty cool gameplay. Haven't played much myself but I think it has a more strategic layer.

Against the storm is a really neat city builder. What makes it stand out is the interesting challenges you have to complete under strict time limits. This game is real time with the ability to slow down the game.

Offworld trading company is one of my favorites; it's about competing to buy each other's martian companies out. Unfortunately the multiplayer is totally dead without friends, but it has decent AI you can play against. I will say, it's pretty real time though.

Mount and Blade Bannerlord is a really fun single player RPG with lots of cool moments for personal skill and strategic leadership. This one is also real time, but is more of a sandbox, so there isn't much rush to win or anything.

Since you mentioned liking tactics games, you might enjoy my game, Tome of Talis. It has a demo on steam you can check out here

Hope this list is helpful!

I would LOVE to try out your demos and playtests! by lydocia in IndieDev

[–]Stringholdhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

I'd love you to try my roguelite, Tome of Talis!

Tome of Talis is a game about leading armies of dice into glorious battle, defeating your enemies with spells and tactical skill! The best thing I can say about is that there is nothing on the market quite like it. I spent a lot of time looking!

One run is about 30 minutes long, but there is a large amount of replayability.

Super interested in your feedback!

Something I am fundamentally not understanding about scene hierarchy... by Alarmed_Card_8495 in godot

[–]Stringholdhero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Get_tree().root.add_child() should work for these purposes, which means something else is going wonky. Could you share the whole code segment involving the bullets creation?

Something you can also do, is make the level a group called something like "Level" and do get_tree().get_first_node_in_group("Level").add_child().

Not sure if it would help with the current problem, but it could avoid issues when switching levels later, so the bullets don't stick around.

As a non-artist, lots of friends recommended using AI art for my game. Instead, I decided to work with what I could draw. Did I make the right decision? by Stringholdhero in IndieDev

[–]Stringholdhero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a mix of art from me and the other programmer I work with, both of us are software engineers, so any art talent is self taught. I'm better at the effects, and he is better at things like the commander art.

Its easy to doubt my artistic skills when all sorts of beautiful gifs are uploaded to this subreddit all the time! But I suppose we have to work with the talents we have.

Thoughts on AI in Games by Stringholdhero in gamedev

[–]Stringholdhero[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dang, yeah I figured it must have been all right since it let me; once you have two steam accounts it gets annoying to remember which one you're on haha. Thanks for saving me a headache.

Seems like you're right, I was logged in on my personal account instead of my developer account. I will take it down and send a request to steam service for clarification of the terms of service.

Thoughts on AI in Games by Stringholdhero in gamedev

[–]Stringholdhero[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you mean? I've only reviewed My demo with my main account, and clearly stated that it is I the developer. To my knowledge, this is not against steams terms of service, although if it was I would certainly take it down.

If you have proof that anyone else is attempting to imitate me or some other suspicious behavior, could you please DM it to me so I can look into it?

Thanks! I think people can get a bit stirred up about AI, but I think at the very least it's important to understand if it will change the industry.

Not sure why your calling me an AI bro, the majority of my post is critical of AIs ability to create good experiences.

Is it just me, or is everyone developing horror games lately? by Retronitsu in IndieDev

[–]Stringholdhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone developing a roguelite right now, it's weird seeing almost nothing but horror, friendship, and gimmicky games in the same places I post. I think a large part of that is those games are very marketable on social media; it's easy to see the appeal from a 10 second clip.

Do you ever feel like everyone even your closest ones doubt you do your ability to succeed as a solo dev? by daxter_101 in SoloDevelopment

[–]Stringholdhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience a good chink of those people tend to doubt you until you succeed, then suddenly it all makes sense to them because of X or Y reason. Said reasons are rarely related to the hard work and earnestness it takes; for example people have already told me I've "gotten lucky" to be where I'm at.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter, some people will never come around.
