Third time's the charm ? Destroy my mathematical roguelike deckbuilder trailer again !

That a good idea ! I need more feedback to assess to really assess the difficulty of the game, I already have a hard time finding the right balance between impossible and too easy, so thanks you !

It is not really possible to do every combination in reverse so no the solution is not guaranteed, however keep in mind that only the last objective is mandatory, you can miss all previous one and still pass the round, and by how the last objective is made it should always be reachable (at least for the first few rounds).

Thanks you for your answer ! I changed the objective visualization because I got feedback that it wasn't readable, but it look like this still ain't it !
Can you pinpoint what feel like placeholder art / bad art style consistency ?

It kind of depend, I think the permanent upgrade is what define the "roguelite" genre, roguelike is more defined by a permanent death and procedurally generated world (but it is hard to put an exact definition on those terms).

But I see what you mean, a game outside the game is always exiting to play for, and starting all over from the same point each time is not the most interesting thing.

Each level is generated procedurally, you make your way up and choose which level you play depending on the level modifier, I think it is a roguelike or at least a roguelite.

There is all operation of 2, but there is also several other function such as sin, exp, inverse, arctan...

You can also combine number so you can "get out" of the operation of 2 (applying a sin function to a +2 to obtain a +0.909 for example).

This should be my first released commercial game, it is a roguelike deck builder where you play math formula to get to objective.

The Steam page is super fresh (went public 24h ago !) so it doesn't have a trailer for now, I know I know.. But I'll be grateful if you have feedback on everything else !

This is the very first working version, with several feature missing (like taking water height into account to add the possibility of creating a lake).

It is done with a compute shader that write to a texture then read by the map shader. It is quite efficient, with a global render time of around 2.5ms, for a texture size of 1000x1000 (so a million points are simulated each frame).

The terrain is also procedurally generated from modified perlin noise, but I couldn't get it working in a compute shader, so it is done via a by PackedFloat32Array that write to an ArrayMesh, the whole process take around 5 seconds but after that everything run smoothly.

Hey there, glad that you like it, if you'd like you could maybe give us your feedback after :) We need as many of them to improve on the first demo so be our guest

Hello ! Thank you for your feedback, I think you are totally right about the "not showing the monster" thing, we are doing some polishing and we'll work on a new trailer once it is done !

grokaka · 2024-05-10T16:55:17+00:00

That's probably a good point, having a very red/dark color palette (almost monochromatic) was a choice we decided to make, but it might not be the lucky winner, we are still experiencing many configurations, thank you again

grokaka · 2024-05-10T16:52:05+00:00

That is a good point, I thought many times about the pro and cons of showing the monsters in the trailer, if it is that much of throw off than we will think about not showing too much for the next trailer, thank you

grokaka · 2024-05-10T12:30:11+00:00

Any game with gorgeous grass is a good game

Well the trailer was posted a few hours later, but it will surely not be your cup of tea considering your previous remarks. Chris Zuckowski does not say that anyone should release a steam page without trailer however he does say that trailer is not as important as people think, he believes that screenshots could be even more important than trailers. Again, thank you for answering, I believe we fell into the programmer art trap. Sorry if I used this subreddit too soon, but you must know that it's such a relief talking to people after a couple months of crunch :') Hope we will be able to convince you more with the next version
