Do you like to play as an imperialist in your games?
>>3493352Well is that, nothing or having to read a terrible longer demo. Millennials have a terrible work ethic anon. And making games is a difficult task and the majority just don't have what it takes.
>>3493367>bringing up millennials for no reasonYou're too old to be doing this.
>>3493373Can you say is it wrong tho?
>>3486436I play as the brother who helps Nathan.>>3486494The magic of this game inevitably dies when you restart the game after your first true death and realize that you are on a one-track story as a kid, who also need to make specific decisions if you want to not get pounded as an adult.I really hope the studio improves with its next game.
>>3488099>historicalwut
It may look like shit but it will offer a choice of real RPG (that is realtime) combat instead of strategy game combat, which is so rare these days. It also takes inspiration from the best RPG of all time, BG1. Hopes, fears, dreams?
>>3493644>i can pick a lock better and be more dexterous because i'm shortDude, they are throwing you a lot of bones there. There's zero advantage to being short.
>>3493644>i'm sure to win thanks to my greater dexteritykek
>>3493605>Look at the builds a tiny percentage of players are doing-_-> you can do the same in dnd and pf if you really want to>if you REALLY want toexactly you have to really want to
>>3493759That's not my point, dude. It's that at the highest levels of difficulty Res is dumped for a reason. We're talking about mechanics here, not "for roleplay reasons" or any of that nonsense. And "if you really want to" was about crippling your build's effectiveness for roleplay reasons, not for optimizing. Reading comprehension.
>>3493617The demo is insanely bad, the thread is just full of retarded slavs shitting up the board as per usual. Of course none of them even tried the demo.
>dedicated healer spam aoe heal every turn>others just use strongest attack available every turnhow do we fix 4 niggas in a row?
DCSS : make healing fucking expensive (piety system from gods), healing consumable is very rareTriangle Strategy : Instead of mana bar, skills use TP that accumulate every turn, capped at 3 TP max. This limits healing / skill spam.Other games I don't remember : Just remove healing spells and items.I like Triangle Strategy's system the best.
>>3487964Let each character take multiple actions each turn, and give actions cooldowns, both "every X turns" and "X times per turn". This gives more depth and makes setting up buffs/debuffs more valuable when they don't cost you a whole turn.Limit healing by either reducing part of max HP by a percentage of damage taken (with skills that can increase this), or reducing healing received every time you heal.
Bg3 had somewhat decent encounters in act 1 and few good ones in act 2.Every fight must be lethal to "fix 4 niggas in a row".
I liked the timeline system that Star Renegades had.>every turn takes place on a timeline, enemy attacks and their targets already present on the timeline. Attacks hitting someone who's about to attack someone else result in a crit which is more damage+ usually a delay on that character's actions. If they get pushed off the timeline they get delayed until the next turn.>skills are a tradeoff between how much time it takes to execute, how much time an attack delays affected enemies, how much damage an attack deals plus other factors like armor and resistances to specific attack typesIt's a roguelite so these aspects may not be as well baked as they should be but I still really enjoyed it.
>>3492465Grandia ii and onwards has a more devoped version of that battlesystem.
Alternative, drama-free RPG development thread.How's your game going?
>>3493656I guarantee you that you guys collectively spend more time in these threads, trying to thwart the evil people misleading you into learning how stuff works, than it would take to code your own basic engine. You don't like the tutorials? Find the ones that fit what you want to code instead of asking people to mind read and find it for you. You want to argue which mechanics are important? Go pontificate in a corner.Arguments are cheap.
>>3493659I know that LOTRO had a system of morale instead of HP but then everyone just treated it like HP anyway. If it's going to be a type of damage it would need to behave completely differently to physical damage for it to be interesting.
>>3493581>statsyou got 6 of themStrength, Agility, Dexterity, Constitution, Mind and Intelligence5 points per level, about 13 levelups in the game as of now>loottypical diablo-like loot. kill baddies, they drop items. you got basic, magic , unique and superuniques. >>3493622thank you kind anon. time flies when you're having fun, it feels like only a few days ago that i posted pic re.l in these very threads.
>>3493746Whats the difference between mind and intelligence? Id think that mind might be better named "will" or something
>>3493757mind is +Mana and +Dmg for wand. Intelligence is for learning spells, equipping caster items and having more hotkeys available to bind spells to.
Just finished it as a Half-Oger technologist. Fucking incredible. Best rpg I've played in a long time.
>>3491622Use a fate point to pickpocket a Hand Cannon from the halfling standing in the center of Tarant. Should hold you over until the better guns (Elephant Gun, Tesla Cannon, Looking Glass Rifle, Droch's Warbringer, Levered Machinegun etc).Or just play a Melee/Bow/Throwing/Magic build instead, they're vastly superior. Pyro Bow is very OP and better than any gun.
>>3493115You can also do the first mission for Pollock's gang in the Boil and then accept the second mission and say you're a techie to get a hand cannon.
>>3493115The crazy thing about the better guns is how they use more bullets. As if bullets weren't already in short supply, something like the mechanised gun costs SIX bullets with every shot.
>>3492158No, I think the whole thing is bait for retards like yourself.
>>3492823>my grenadier/boomeranger on the other hand was much stronger pretty much right away>>3493115Throwing stuff might be superior to Melee. You really only need DEX and the best weapon is a "free" Easter Egg.https://arcanum.fandom.com/wiki/Old_Blind_Master
>Single-handedly saves the classic jrpg genre from being irrelevant forvever>Nobody remembers it anymore
>>3493724Huh. Didn't know the gacha reused music from the source games.
>>3493726yeah there's only a few new tracks in the mobile game. if the /vmg/ thread still exists people usually have links to some of the harder to find ones that are original.
>>3493737There's a fairly sparse thread there, but there's also no actual need for links since the 2020 and 2023 OSTs are on "that" site anyway in both mp3 and FLAC formats.
>>3493083>Without this game, Octopath, LiveALive remake, Triangle Strategy, Basically all modern 2D SE games, they would have never been made, atleast not for the international scope in mindBoy, sure wish they never made this game then
>>3493703Perhaps its best If we never even get OT3.To be honest, I think they still do know how to put charm and character into their games, but nowadays I wish theyd branch try theirs hands in developing different RPG subgenres.I wish theyd create a more dungeon crawler oriented RPG, taking inspiration from games like Wizardry and the AD&D Gold Box games, adding a few twists of course, but honoring the simplicity and exploration-oriented gameplay of these sorts of games.Various daylife has some of that crawling spirit, even though its frankly not that good. I wish we'd see something similar but more well developed from them, a wider cast, emphasis on better Dungeons (something that even bravely lacks, really) and deeper exploration, all while still retaining that charm that most of team asano games have
why did this series disappear? I would love a new wizardry game. my only stipulation would be it needs to have yamada akihiro or yoshitaka amano style artwork.
>>3492727Well, since he mentioned 6 as well, I had the impression Elminage might have been fitting. It really doesnt emphasize roleplaying, but It offers much more variety than the original five wizardry games.
>>3492682>>3492684>>3492727>>3492732I have tried playing Elminage Gothic (haven't played Original) and mechanically it felt a lot like the first couple of wizardries, so while it was alright I lost interest in it pretty quickly. Pure dungeon crawling isn't really a problem for me, That's why I loved 6 and 7. Hell I would even consider 8 as being a ''dungeon'' crawler of sorts since it is still like 99% combat 1% everything else. Compare it to say something like MM6-8 where half the game is pretty standard rpg town interactions and quests.
alchemy >>>divinity >wizardry >>psionics
>>3493519>alchemy>no party wide buffslol
>>3492844I think a lot of Elminage's charm comes partly from being almost exactly the same as the Llylgamyn games but with a lot more polish, partly due to the fact that while it is fundamentally offbrand Wizardry I-V it still tries to experiment a lot in the limits of that formula and still tries to implement a lot of things from the Dark Savant trilogy, but in the spirit of the classic games.For instance, the Summoner class in Elminage is more or less Werdna+, you get to bind whatever you want in your cantrips as long as you pass the contract check, then you can choose to play as the "standard" summoner, which is basically just somebody who slaps any enemy in the game in the seventh party slot, or you go deeper in the rabbit hole and choose to turn whatever enemy you bound to your cantrip as a legitimate party member, which in turn allows you to sorta turn the game into a soft Wizardry IV spinoff where you can have a party full of whatever monsters or enemy adventurers you come across.Alchemists don't really work like Wiz8 alchemists even if there's some surface level similarities in their spellbooks, although Elminage Alchemists are fundamentally debuffers and status inflictors, and even their use of alchemy is completely different.In Elminage alchemy is largely done at shops and Herbalists/Servants are the ones who mix your potions, Elminage Alchemists instead focus on creating alchemical tools that give you specific utilities both inside and outside of battles, such as the Air Seed which allows you to breathe underwater and not get instakilled if you're walking near water tile and some enemy chooses to drag you underwater, they also allow you to upgrade your equipment and create cool stuff like weapons that get racial modifiers to hit much harder against some enemies.As I said, it's hard to recommend them to anyone who prefers the Dark Savant games, so I don't really blame you for losing interest so quickly.

the game starts with series of insanely pretentious monologues, should I push through either way?what am I getting?
>>3488998>30 minutes of cutscenesniggers actually play this shit??
>>3493263You don't cringe that much when a game not independently published does that
>>3493263Yes, they all payoff very well considering how fucked the story goes.>>3493558Yes, not a problem for me. The japanese fan remix has an option to skip them but that ain't translated and probably never will.
The remake of this guy just game out, so we're having a DRPG thread.
>>3493292Have you finished the game? If not, spoilersTurns out dr Cereberus(your target) is actually your client and also your creator, for you are actually a Starcrawlers Chimera™ made up of seven individuals(which all correspond to the seven skilltrees you picked). I assume the game also tracks how many times you died and plugs it in as the number of experiments it took for Dr Cerberus to perfect you at the end of the game.Anyways since you aren't an actual starcrawler and you're raiding one building of one corporation it wouldn't make sense to have other corpos involvedWhy they couldn't just compensate by having more of the production floor where two rival factions in the company were feuding and expanding further on that is beyond me, though.
>>3493300I mean it's just such a terrible, lifeless, low-effort step back from the first Starcrawlers I don't know why they bothered making it.
>>3493313I hate to be harsh on the devs because I'm rooting for them if they ever make an actual sequel to Starcrawlers and they're actively in the forums trying to help out people but yeah, it's a step back in every way.I'm curious if there are any other sci-fi dungeon crawlers.
>>3479516I downloaded the game and added it to my growing psp collection (mostly rpg/jrpg and the koei warrior games). I'll give it a play soon once I get done going thru all the games I got recently (only started psp emulation super recently in my quest for new rpgs to play)
>>3467431Seconding; this is easily the biggest problem with Original.
Dread Delusion came out, we got some open world Dishonored kino.
>>3493662>a nostalgic lookNow that is cope.It doesn't look good. If you think it does, then you're delusional. You're suffering a dreadful delusion.

>>3493583The game is shit and there's nothing unique about the setting nor is the gameplay serviceable. If I wanted to play a walking sim with a weird setting I'd rather just play Pathologic 1 and 2.
>>3493702>he'd rather play pathologic than dread delusionWhat does outing yourself as having shit taste accomplish exactly?
>>3493705>What does outing yourself as having shit taste accomplish exactly?Shit taste for what, not playing your unfinished garbage game?
I’ll let you guys know how it goes…

Never trust anyone who would sing you a song for money or says that they know many tales
>>3493349I mostly want the tech rank growth rate. Hitting 3/5 in a quarter of the time? Not too shabby. Ultimately you'll get there no matter what, but taking the time out of getting there isn't so bad.Though from the perspective of mechs it's stat increases are relatively modest and I sometimes don't always take self-defense program so using a one turn negate loses it's luster when I'll eat shit before that turn (if the mech is in the aggro spot due to needing to apply Self-Defense before using Gilding) or after that turn (due to paralysis)
A good video about what are possibly all unique and rare drops in the game and how to get them, it's JP only but even if you can't understand it a lot of the explanation in the video are self explanatoryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iMf5gFjK7I
>>3493108That scene in particular doesn't stick to the subtitles. Which is good because it is the ropey dialogue at its worst. There's also the fact that they use possessive s wrong. "Suginas's" instead of the proper: Suginas' Although I'd be impressed if the localiser is ESL, Japanese native speaker given how much flavour is added to dialects of each world.
>>3493513The localizer is EFL and skilled at their job, there was a decent amount of creative liberties taken with the translation although for the most part it is faithful, just extra flowery compared to the original. The game just has a few errors in its localization but this is mainly the usual typos and its forgivable considering how much text is in the game and how much it can vary based on different factors they're bound to miss some things.
>>3493399It's even better when you get the Omindoor, because you do something like 14 worlds in a single run (no Brighthome, no Yomi, Pulchra and Capital City are mutually-exclusive).>>3493385What if you only do 1 mission for each faction and get the happy ending? Does he not get ANY cocksleeves?
