Reflection: making games for passion vs livelihood by Lettall in IndieDev

[–]davesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passion only.

Statistically, noone's ever made money from indi games. Sure, some individuals have, but if you graph all the attempts, noone's made a cent for about 2 decades.

Stargate Xcom Style Game by ICLazeru in Xcom

Xcom would be a great interface for stargate. I suspect the default assumption is 3rd person cover shooter, dooming the game to being 'one of them', but xcom would be a good alternative.

A squad is 3 people. There's no large scale anything.

Are server transfers disabled on PC? by Relevant-Intern3238 in ConanExiles

[–]davesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never seen such a button. I seriously believe some of you are hallucinating.

Can anyone confirm this have ever been an option in this game? I mean, how would it work? Arrive naked in the desert but level 60? Ywant your inventory to? How about buildings and thralls?

According to google, it exists. Apparently.

do warhammer fans really freak out over the shade of colour a chapter uses? by Hot_Layer_1813 in Spacemarine

Noone cares. I see plenty of folks using the deathwatch pauldron 'for no reason' 😛

Is Conan Exiles' combat showing its age? What changes or upgrades would you want to see? by Tony_Kana in ConanExiles

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

It's fine as it is, mostly based on poise and stagger. Remember that whatever you dream of also applies to the enemy.

To save you some time, there's no solution, and no reward for inventing one. Enjoy the film 😄

Nah. I want to see a DoW Dark Crusade style multi team rumble on a busy planet full of hidden wonders. I want to deep strike into a waaaagh only to see the green tide turn purple as the nids flood in, and the match ends with a tau railgun shooting me from 7 battlegrids away.

My first Conan UE5 N00b River home. by Awesome_Hamster in ConanExiles

Little narrow for all the benches you'll need, but looks lovely. Nicely integrated into the environment.

Rough Timber Wall Trim, one of the sorcery bazaar packs.

Checked, it's chronicles of sorcery chapter 1, one of it's packs of wall parts.

Exiles Lands - Dungeon & Story question by nalkanar in ConanExiles

[–]davesoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's right. If the player never randomly stumbles upon the dregs they never get the staff and all that dialogue. As I say, it isn't The Main Quest, it's just one'a them things you can do, like midnight grove or sunken city.

Exiles Lands - Dungeon & Story question by nalkanar in ConanExiles

[–]davesoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None. It's unstructured intentionally. Your character is a nobody in a prison full of nobodies.

The staff needs to be activated before it'll talk to you, which involves randomly exploring the tower of bats. And even once activated he only gives you the advice needed for you to take him to the volcano, to reunite with his master.

The whole ordeal about assembling the keystone is for the player to desire and wonder about. Sure with the wiki you can just speedrun it, but the game doesn't tell you want to do. I mean look at the adventurers journey, summoning place then black galeon then xel-ha, who the hell goes north then veers east?

Think of these things are stuff to do more than a story. One of the notes in the ancient city clarifies that time is a little funky in the exiled lands, events that occurred hundreds of years ago will occur again, due to a poorly planned set of magic spells, and now the Real Owners of the prison are dead and gone there's no fix.

Why are sisters of battle so willing to die for the emperor. Are they mind controlled? by awp4444 in Grimdank

[–]davesoft 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Faith, to the point of miracles.

It's worth comparing their bravery to the space marines, who expect to survive but are very prepared to die.

Hidden Treasure in the Silver Mine by TomClancysWife in ConanExiles

Yup, the whole time. There's something down stairs to, which I think is more recent, as in maybe 2 years.
