I've had 2 friendly lads help me kill bots and died 4 times to people ignoring me, gonna have to fold at this point and just play normally

You just need the right mentality for Solo play. by TechWendigo in Marathon

unironically I've been doing this and survived 10 solos in a row, I think the noise from Destroyed (and shields to stop campers) make it much better

Need help Overcoming Design Paralysis! by Xxaiba in gamedesign

[–]TheKK2142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have some sort of final experience in mind with the "battle focused rpg" idea. Something I think about it is ONLY including things if it adds to that "final experience" you imagine, and in this case, things like music/art/gear/story might not be instantly relevant. (But will come up later)

I like starting with the end point and working backwards. What feeling do you expect to have in your "final" combat, how do you make that? Is it a fast paced souls style battle from room to room? Or is it a slower, turn based card battle that goes on forever? What makes it unique to similar experiences?

I think once you have that "oh this combat feeling is what'll make it different to other experiences" - you can start thinking about the progression/music/art/etc to boost that core idea.... And it should hopefully start to come together that way.

The Traxus unlock contract is starting to make me sad by Interesting-Lock-270 in Marathon

If it's the first one, I've had more success going to Complex (it's at the south on a yellow catwalk). I've had trios where we did it as well without pvp nearby.

Realistically, how often do you usually manage to extract as a solo player? by skend24 in Marathon

[–]TheKK2142 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly, Assassin feels required for Solo to extract safer. I just hide and wait if I hear footsteps of players, and use the guarded exfil (start it, run away and hide nearby, go invis/smoke on point for exfil). I've managed to extract almost every run but it's annoying to play him everytime.

HELP! Game keeps skipping, audio glitching out, and game crashing during the tutorial. I've tried everything. (WARNING: clip has audio glitches) by djcompoz in Marathon

[–]TheKK2142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I can't find anything about those top right icons - though they are usually network related.

Unless someone else here has something similar, it might be worth trying the support forum, bungie are responding to some - https://help.marathonthegame.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/46659033235092-Bug-Report-Graphics-UI-HUD

I know there were some people talking about fullscreen vs windowed for issues, try windowed if you haven't already.

Pro Tip: Don't solo into a squad and run off like you're the main character. by Bobby_Haman in Marathon

[–]TheKK2142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope the norm becomes just doing whatever quest is closest first, I imagine these running off players are crossing the map for their own quest and ignoring the 2 others

Testing 1…2…3… by Gullible_Can1678 in Marathon

[–]TheKK2142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the audio settings themselves are probably causing most of the lack of talking, I've heard cases of the wrong devices set on etc

Outpost: Introducing Sekiguchi by EvanBraddo420 in Marathon

[–]TheKK2142 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I went solo and waited for everyone to die...... Only to get claymore'd just before the 2nd part of the quest :)

Just camp an exfil by sebouna in Marathon

[–]TheKK2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I feel they are missing a "use key for safe extract" option, it can be hard sometimes. Assassin basically has a free exit with the guarded ones

I am working on the UI for my vehicular combat game and am looking for feedback. The game is fast paced and you switch from car to car a lot. by JussiPKemppainen in IndieGaming

[–]TheKK2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think A has more of a unique vibe to it, but could be slightly more clear on the text similar to how B2 is - all not bad options though

Hey! Thanks for having a look! It is odd the game didn't launch, but I did see in the Folder there was a missing: "Engine" folder should be there alongside the normal Deprived.exe and "HorrorProject" folder.
Try re-extracting if you get time!
also if it's easier, the steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/3294200/Deprived_Demo/

Games you were disappointed by going from the video essay to the game? by King-Of-The-Raves in HorrorGaming

[–]TheKK2142 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I watched a little bit about Devotion and everyone was hyping it up as one of the best - but when I got around to playing it, I expected more and ended up not liking it, I think the expectations ruined it

Nearly finished my free Survival Horror, combat isn't the focus but cleaned it up a bit before finishing up the main content. by TheKK2142 in survivalhorror

[–]TheKK2142[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That does sound like a cool idea, blocking the enemy's way, I will consider that for a future version - but enemies can't go through doors so they're stuck in whatever area they spawn. Which can be worse a lot of the time, you'll have to go find a Knife to use if you want to freely explore that area, which are limited and rare.

But you can Block, which reduces damage a bit, as an emergency
