DCC Challenge, Day 21

Time To Floor Collapse: 9 days, 4 hours

Time for the recap episode!

Crawler @quartzandsundry

New Achievement! This Is How I Disappear!

Disappear, debuff, decapitate - it's the gaslight gatekeep girlboss of the dungeon and your headcount, dear quartzandsundry, is irreproachable.

Reward: A gold House of Wolves box! Includes an Enchanted Collar of +10 to Constitution, and resistance to slashing damage, with a bonus garnet Charm of Blood, giving +20% to Track and Find Crawler skills! Now don't lose your head!

Crawler @kathrynalexao3:

New Achievement! We Don't Need The Key We'll Break In!

I don't understand why the Earth expression is "idle hands are the Devil's playground," you've been keeping pretty busy and I can tell you, Hell is definitely impressed. Keep up the ...work chipping away at those bosses. Death of a thousand cuts may take a lot of time and hands, but it's also more painful and humiliating!

Reward: A silver Pocket Full of Shells box! Inside, a case of Armor-Piercing Potion Hollowpoints, compatible with any bolt-using or ranged projectile weapon; inflicts doubled piercing damage, the Blood Trail debuff, and whatever potion is in the payload bypasses protective gear that's pierced! Also contains Brindled Vespa acid glands, Bad Llama lava glands, and 3 cans of spraypaint!

Crawler @king-ofconfusion:

New Achievement! Stealth Mode!

On catlike feet, you pass unremarked until you reach the safety of cover, curling up in improbably small spots to stay in cover until the screaming starts and you can saunter away in the satisfaction of a job well done.

Reward: A Silver Eye of the TIger box! Included, a Cosmic Buff potion, granting +10 points to a randomly chosen attribute, a silver Ring of the Reflex granting +15% to Dexterity and +10 points to the Land On Your Feet skill (note: this does not negate falling damage; it DOES halve it by allowing the wearer to land in a controlled roll rather than say, on their head.)

Crawler @oreniaa:

New Achievement! Flower Bomb!

Well look at you, you clever crawler! While many of your number were put off by the enormous swarms of biting insects, the poisonous flora, the venomous snakes and the creeping mind-control parasites in the water and said 'fuuuuck that.' You, on the other hand, looked at the rainforest and saw alchemical El Dorado, and acted accordingly. The most dangerous thing in the jungle is now, in fact, you.

Reward: a silver Horticulture box! Includes an Enchanted Mortar and Pestle of the Baba Yaga, allowing processing of materials requiring crushing/milling 50% faster and guaranteed uniformity for Fine grade potions, Garden Gloves of the Gnomish Alchemy Collective, resistant to poisoning, piercing damage from thorns and allowing firm grip on tendrils, vines and other slithering appendages.

Crawler @cairfrey :

New Achievement! Mudskipper Madness!

You guys. YOU GUYS. This may be a new Crawl record of crawlers getitng pulled out to get their hands slapped by the liaisons! Orrin, I keep telling you, it's all the stupid fish and slugs' fault for overplaying their hands trying to rig the game!

Reward: A Platinum STOP FUCKING WITH MY CHI box! Included, 3 Personal Space Upgrade coupons, including a Training Room tutorial subscription, and the Dangerous Liaisons Package at Busted to Bomb, the Desperado Club Day Spa, including the Fatal Facial, a Deluxe Massage and the Devilishly Good Paraffin Dip Mani-Pedi with Invulnerability Buffs on hands and feet for 90 hours!

Crawler @deathdovesong:

New Achievement! Riding with the Ghost!

The undead are bad friends and worse enemies, but they have their uses. Better damage-dealers than tanks, except in numbers, but one thing remains true; the dead outnumber the living in every generation.

Reward: a silver Modern Warfare box! Includes Body Armor of the Shade Gnoll Riot Forces, with +50 percent fire and ice damage resistance, piercing and slashing resistance, and a tome of Bad Attitude.

Crawler @clearbrightlight:

New Achievement! The Price is Right!

You've raised haggling in the Syndicate Market and the Silk Road to a fine art, and possibly cruelty to Bopcas (the Hobgoblins are into it, they're sick fucks). You know to an inch how far you can go with your Charisma - and then push it one more fingertip over the line.

Reward: A gold Press Your Luck box! Includes a Dungeon Scratch-Off Ticket of Fireball or Custard? and a tome of Skedaddle, for when your luck runs out!

Crawler @lazyscience:

New Achievement: Quest for Oblivion!

on track to be off screens by 11 to tackle the giant regulatory mob on Monday.

Reward: sleep. sweet, sweet sleep.

Now get out there, crawlers, and kill, kill, kill!

ATTENTION, all partied crawlers! Don't forget to update me on mobs, quests, or parties (defined at link) so I can award you achievements! Please let me know either in the replies to this post, reblogging with additions, or hit my askbox/DMs!

(please, do this, even with small and silly mobs/quests, it makes giving achievements so much easier!)

Pixel art dungeon crawler Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon announced for PC, iOS, and Android - Gematsu

Publisher FDG Entertainment and developer Cornfox & Bros. have announced Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon, a new pixel art dungeon crawler in the Oceanhorn universe, set 200 years after the events of Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm. It will launch for PC via Steam, iOS, and Android in Q2 2025.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is a new chapter in the Oceanhorn universe, set 200 years after Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm. Find out if our heroes can defeat Chronos, and change the course of history! A long time has passed since the White City was washed from the face of Gaia—and the once magnificent Kingdom of Arcadia was shattered into hundreds of islands of the Uncharted Sea. Four adventurers have set on a journey to restore the world to its former glory. Following rumors and prophecies, they have found a way into a mythical underground complex, Chronos Dungeon. Deep down, hidden somewhere, lies the Paradigm Hourglass, an object powerful enough to alter history. Will you find the route to the bottom floor, and what challenges await you inside Chronos Dungeon?

A Dungeon Crawler for All Ages

Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is a dungeon crawler featuring four players couch cooperative play, inspired by 16-bit arcade classics. Fight side by side with your friends, or control all four heroes by yourself—will you make it to the bottom of Chronos Dungeon? If this is your first game in the genre, don’t worry—Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is easy to pick up even for newcomers and will keep you and your companions entertained for hours!

A New Dungeon Every Time

Randomized modifiers make each level unique, and each run unexpected. Heroes start every game with different stats, depending on the zodiac sign they’re bound to, and each of the four adventurers, Knight, Huntress, Grandmaster, and Mage, feels and plays differently. If less than four local players are available, the idle adventurers can be selected on the fly by any player.

Key Features

Couch cooperative multiplayer for up to four players.

16-bit feeling, music, and sounds, updated to 2020.

Four classes to choose from or switch to on the fly, each with a different playstyle.

Infinite replayability: the dungeon reconfigures itself with new modifiers at each floor.

Massive boss battles.

Plenty of items to try out for maximum dungeon mayhem.

Watch the announcement trailer below.

Game of the Year List 2023

Honorable Mentions: Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia: I love the oddball mashup of shmup and dungeon crawler mechanics, but I ended up losing interest before the end of the game. In Stars and Time: Still playing this game. I like it so far, but I didn't want to rush it through to get it on this list. It'll go on next year's list if I like it enough. Stuffo the Puzzle Bot: Really great soundtrack. Still on regular rotation.

youtube

10. Super Snail (IOS and Android)

This is a difficult inclusion. Super Snail is an Evil game. It's the most monetized game I've ever played. Every screen you can visit can trigger a special offer for a pile of goodies you don't need that you can buy with real money. It's a mobile gacha game, through and through, designed to eat up time and attention and offer back a distant illusion of progress that you could surely expedite, if you were just willing to kick in ten bucks for one of its dozens of customized season passes…. So, why is this game on this list?

Developer QCPlay was already on my radar from previous release Gumball and Dungeons, a similarly high effort mobile game (amusingly originally intended as a Dragon Quest game, until they failed to secure the license and were forced to sand all the iconic teardrops off their slimes and call them gumballs instead). Despite their willingness to indulge in all the awful trends of mobile game markets, these are real, proper game designers, who have buried a real, actual game under all of Super Snail's idle timers and base management bullshit.

Super Snail is constantly shifting, adding new layers of complexity and shaking up existing mechanics. It's the only gacha game I'm aware of in which your gacha machine can be stolen from you temporarily if you use it too much, forcing you to wait on spending tickets until the thief decides its rates are too shit to bother with and returns it to you. There's a dating sim mechanic in which various characters met in your travels (male, female, or both) will find out about your secret base and decide to mooch off you, which is some of the funniest writing in the game.

On that note, the writing is weirdly good for a game that's approximately 80% random pop culture references. The eight demon lords you've been tasked with defeating by the mysterious god "Earth's Will" all have detailed and consistent backstories. There are a few honest-to-god effective twists in the plot, and a lingering question about how shady the god you've signed your life to actually is.

A predatory mobile game shouldn't deserve one minute of my attention, let alone one of the coveted slots on my illustrious top ten list, but Super Snail spits in the face of all that, and god. I can't stop thinking about it, about how many interesting game design lessons are nestled within its strange and evil exterior. So, by compromise, it's grudgingly earned my #10. Just, for god's sake, if any of this backhanded review piques your interest, set a budget for yourself and don't exceed it for any reason.

9. BOSSGAME: The Final Boss is Your Heart (Steam)

BOSSGAME is an action rpg about two dirtbag lesbians, Sophie and Anna, trying to earn rent money by taking random mercenary work in the big city. The story is low pressure fun, with a little melodrama mixed in to spice things up. The plot is needs-suiting, even maybe good, but the reason this game is on the list is the gameplay.

BOSSGAME is really, really fun to play. It uses a combat system reminiscent of the Mario and Luigi rpgs in which both party members are controlled simultaneously. Enemies telegraph attacks that need to be blocked using the left or right side of the gamepad based on character, draining stamina. Attacking also drains stamina, so a careful balance of offense and defense needs to be maintained to survive. Most interestingly, there's no turns: enemies repeat attack patterns usually without waiting for a counterattack, so combat becomes a brain-bending routine of multitasking, with one character needing to block attacks while the other sneaks in some damage. A combo system encourages keeping up constant pressure, with the reward being increased progress toward a super attack that can briefly stun bosses and allow some easy hits before returning to defensive play. The end result is fast paced, engaging, and totally unique combat that was fun to learn for each of the dozens of boss fights in the game.

I'm glad this game ended up being good enough to recommend here, not just because I, too, am lesbian, but because I love designers that are willing to take a chance on unique control schemes. Part of the fun of playing BOSSGAME was getting to learn how to play without being able to rely on any of the muscle memory I've accrued over years of playing other action games. I only wish it weren't so short. Of all the games on this list, this is the one I would most want to see expanded into a full 40-60 hour RPG epic.

8. Slay the Princess (Steam)

A Myers-Briggs test for fetishes. Keep that in mind whenever anybody who tries to talk to you about their favorite "route". Great writing though

7. EDF 5 (Steam)

My official Multiplayer Game Experience of the Year. The EDF (EDF! EDF! EDF!) series is an alien invasion resistance simulator that exists somewhere between Dynasty Warriors and Monster Hunter in gameplay. I've known about the series for a long time, and I had assumed it was the kind of loud dumb fun that makes for punchy clips but wears out its welcome quickly. To be clear, it definitely is loud, and dumb, and fun, but it also has significantly more mechanical depth and complexity than I expected, which kept it fresh and engaging for as long as I played it.

Mechanics like building destruction and corpse hitboxes looks like they're just they're there for spectacle at first, but as levels progress and more and more aggressive enemy types are introduced, these seemingly incidental details take on more and more importance as you need to manage cover and enemy sight lines more effectively. This is the game's most potent tool, I think: everything that makes it great as a ridiculous carnage sandbox has been meticulously designed to also work in the higher difficulty levels to deliver a genuinely tense and highly mobile shooter.

6. Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayers (Steam)

A boomer shooter in the same canon as Hypnospace Outlaw, partially developed by troubled teen ZANE_ROCKS_14 and polished up for release 22 years later. For an elaborate shitpost, it's very well made, but what most interests me about it is its contradictory nature. Outwardly, it's completely juvenile and silly about everything it does, filled with poop jokes and mouthy rats and evil stepdads. Underneath that, there's the deep melancholy of a 36 year old desperately trying to relive the last time in his life that he felt cool.

all the levels in the game faithfully recreate scenes of Zane's Idaho childhood, from ritzy suburban neighborhoods to car parks to the local fair, but they're all just a little bit too eerily empty for the settings they're trying to evoke. The protagonist's sincere love for his mother completely clashes with the badass attitude he brings to every other scene. Zane put his all into voice acting the protagonist's lines, while every other character sounds like they're reciting lines into their phone in a bathroom. The end result is a masterpiece in immersive game design, meticulously arranged to feel like it came from a very specific time and place in a fictional alternate universe. It's so effective that even the parts that don't work can be argued as a deliberate part of the overall period piece, like the confusingly short penultimate level or unnecessarily annoying final boss.

5. Cobalt Core (Steam)

A card battler built around spaceship combat. It should be immediately apparent to anybody who's played a lot of Slay-The-Spire-likes that Cobalt Core is on the easier side, but that's a deliberate choice here, in an effort to create an engaging narrative experience rather than a perfectly tuned progression treadmill. While Inscryption (another narrative card battler) managed its story by bringing the player away from the cards for cutscenes or escape room sequences, Cobalt Core delivers everything within its roguelike framework, even going as far as coming up with a time loop justification for why the player is repeating runs to progress the story.

In that regard it compares more closely to Hades than other card battlers, and I also think that's a good comparison because I really like the characters and character interactions in Cobalt Core. Each round starts with the selection of three of the (after finishing a short period of unlocks) 7 crewmates available to play with, and every combination of characters has interesting discussions and interactions between them. Characters also have lines to acknowledge specific artifacts, cards, or game states (like big damage or status effects) that offers a level of reactivity to make each run that much more unique. Also like Hades, there's a concrete ending sequence. Backstory for each crewmate is delivered piecemeal throughout the game, and while there aren't any earthshattering twists or revelations, the ending does a good job of tying everything together for a proper sendoff.

Shoutout to Riggs. Best possum in the galaxy.

!Great Soundtrack Alert!

4. Going Down (2014 Doom wad) (Doomworld File Depot)

This year, I played MyHouse.wad. More and more people were talking about it, and I wanted to give it a try myself before someone randomly spoiled it for me. I didn't end up caring for it much! It did some interesting things, and it was definitely well made, but I'm not that interested in the creepypasta style it was going for.

It did pique my interest in the rich ecosystem of Doom modding that's been quietly trucking along for 30 years before myhouse ever released, though. A friend recommended Going Down, which I found to be terrific, and then I spent the rest of the year playing random wads (level packs) whenever I didn't have anything else to do. Doom has become invaluable to me as a podcast game, especially as I've only just been able to extract myself from Tactical Nexus's cunning grasp this year.

So, without further ado: The Official Doom Wads of the Year Minilist:

10 Struggle: Antaresian Legacy - Most of the levels in this wad focus on low-pressure exploration, but my favorites were the wide-open chaotic battles. I especially like the capstone levels of the first two chapters (maps 11 and 20), which both feature massive arenas with hundreds of enemies active at once. 9 Ancient Aliens - A collab megawad with great aesthetic and theming. Level quality is inconsistent, which makes sense given how many authors were involved, but the best levels in the wad are excellent. 8 Dust Devil - A short campaign of two interconnected levels with a bunch of interesting custom content. The use of grenade launchers and shielded enemies was especially cool, and not something I expected the doom engine to be able to do. 7 Lullaby - A stylish single-map wad in a decidedly undoomlike blue dreamland. There's only five or so major setpiece encounters, but they're all very memorable. 6 Doom 2 - I love how experimental the design in Doom 2 is, especially given that the entire genre of fps was brand new at this point in history. there's abstract levels, puzzle levels, diagetic cityscapes, and more. It's easy to see its influence in every fps to ever follow in its wake. 5 Overboard - A newer wad by the same author of Going Down with a great gimmick- the first five levels are followed by a set of hard mode remixes that use the same maps with more aggressive enemy arrangements. I particularly liked the last map of hard mode, which is identical to its normal mode variant except that it spawns all 500 enemies in the moment the level starts instead of deploying in piecemeal waves as it does in the original. 4 The Thing You Can't Defeat - An experimental remix of the first chapter of Doom 1. Very interesting premise and punchline. If you liked MyHouse.wad, I'd highly recommend checking it out. 3 Tarnsman's Projectile Hell - This is the first touhou game I've played, technically. Deviously difficult design with an emphasis on long distance hitscan enemies that would be extremely annoying in the hands of a level designer any less obviously talented than Tarnsman. 2 Unloved - An ambitious continuous campaign that takes place in a Silent Hill-esque house with several portals to distorted nightmare realms. I like that small amounts of progress are made in each level at a time with frequent revisits to the main hub, and I love the dark atmosphere. Very creepy. Also insanely difficult. 1 Going Down - My favorite by a long shot. The amount of variety in level and encounter design is incredible on its own, but I particularly like the care that went into giving each level a unique identity that still makes sense in the context of the wad's premise (taking an elevator floor by floor down into the depths of hell). Every level is meticulously designed to use the entire space, usually multiple times as later encounters in each level usually reuse the same arenas with additional twists on the layout and enemy deployments.

3. Pizza Tower (Steam)

A fluid platformer heavily inspired by the Wario Land games. Its most notable design choice is the lack of fail state when exploring levels. There's no health bar, and falling into pits only resets the room, so there's no significant pressure until the timed escape sequence at the end of each level. That's not to say the game lacks challenge, though. Far from it- the challenge comes not from reaching the end of each room, but in doing so as efficiently as possible. Pizza Tower's principle antagonist is the 5 second combo timer in the top right, forcing a constant stream of action. Every level has just enough stuff in each room to allow a single combo to be carried from start to level finish, which confers the coveted P Rank medal on level completion.

Full P Rank completion is what I spent three months obsessively chasing at the start of this year. Movement in Pizza Tower is so fluid, and so satisfying to learn how to fully utilize, that I couldn't resist going for it. I got so far into it that after finishing the game, I went back in immediately for an optional challenge that requires full P rank completion of the game in less than 4 hours, which required being able to clear each level with perfect consistency.

!Great Soundtrack Alert! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWoTeTZL-C8

2. Beton Brutal (Steam)

The trailer for Beton Brutal immediately spoke to me. I've been a fan of persistent-state platforming games for ages, and it's a sorely underserved genre (mostly lurking in MMOs and player-made levels for games like Mario Maker). I like the emphasis on meditative upward progress, and I especially like the increasing pressure that builds as each subsequent jump risks losing more progress than the previous. Beton Brutal's developer was able to deliver this perfectly while also maintaining a consistent and interesting visual style (a stark contrast to the dreadful nft tie-in climbing game Only Up, which also released this year).

For weeks, I opened Beton Brutal after work and played for thirty minutes to an hour, usually seeing some small amount of new progress before inevitably taking a long fall and rage quitting for the day. I don't think I can call this the hardest game I've ever played, given that there's an entire community of people that can complete the entire climb in less than ten minutes, but I do think I'm uniquely poorly suited for games like this, given the extreme precision required. Still, that made it all the more satisfying to finally complete the game after almost exactly 20 hours of effort.

Three months later the DLC "Beton Bath", with another 500 meter tower with new obstacles, mechanics, and visual aesthetic (themed after public pool equipment, which honestly looks great decorating the tower), released. This dlc had mixed reviews, but it cemented this game as a whole as a favorite for me. The new tower has a very different design approach, with more focus on interpreting strange geometry, seeking out aggressive shortcuts, and taking giant leaps of faith. The last 100 meters particularly impressed me, with numerous falls onto trampolines 80 meters below to stride the entire tower in one jump and reach new ladders, before climbing just a few meters higher and repeating the process back to the opposite side.

trying to settle on which screenshot to include with the entry was agonizing, so I'm going to post a bunch more here. I love how this game looks.

Don't worry about the vertigo meter in the bottom left. It's probably nothing to worry about.

Void Stranger (Steam)

Void Stranger is a tile-based puzzle game featuring a magic wand that can pick tiles up and place them elsewhere. Help the noble handmaiden Gray delve into the 256th floor of the mysterious Void to fulfill her heart's desire, learning more about her past by peeking into her memories as she rests at checkpoints along the way.

…But that's not sufficient to describe it, really. The best way I can come up with to describe what Void Stranger actually is, is as a seemingly normal block-pushing puzzle game that's had an entire additional Myst-like adventure game layered over it. The puzzle game is real, and it can be engaged with honestly from start to finish, but the true fun of the game (and several of its many, many possible endings) comes from interpreting obscure clues in the lore and interface to dive deeper.

The more that's learned, the easier it is to navigate the underlying puzzle game. Almost every object in the game has hidden mechanics related to it, opening up easier routes through initially difficult puzzles or allowing the use of shortcuts to skip floors entirely. Once these tricks are mastered, only thirty or so of the game's 256 floors even need to be visited to complete a run, and most of them can be cleared in seconds.

That's a good thing, too, because there's a lot of travel to specific floors needed to find all the secrets in the game. This is a game that thrives on friction in its play experience, which means it's definitely not going to be a game for everybody. If clues regarding certain shortcuts or secrets are missed, it can add a lot of unnecessary work to completing the game. But I personally love that kind of obscurity in games, and I really appreciate that the developer System Erasure (who made the similarly excellent ZeroRanger) was willing to take a chance on a niche-of-a-niche genre that could really speak to its core demographic: me specifically.

I'm not going to talk much about the plot, because most of it is deeply tangled with the Void Stranger's deepest secrets. That said, I appreciate that every route through the game, even the ones that don't engage with all the secret hunting, have been given fully fledged stories. Even the bad ending has a fucking awesome finale, to the extent that I would recommend seeking it out before engaging with the rest of the game's content (if you get offered a fruit, go ahead and eat it!)

Void Stranger is good enough to make it onto my top ten list of games of all time. I've put it at #6, just behind Iji and just ahead of Full Bore. Everything about it is fucking awesome. Check it out!

!Great Soundtrack Alert!

Note

Death Bed is our upcoming third major game after Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy and Silk & Dagger: A Sensible Drow RPG.

It’s inspired by Dark Souls and inspired by the fact that the official Dark Souls TTRPG is a shitty D&D5e hack.

It’s an old-school dungeon crawler that began with the goal of just translating Dark Souls’s predictable, relatively slow-paced, and stamina-management-focused combat into (fun) turn-based TTRPG form, and has now unfurled into a whole lot more. It’s very much “about” Christianity and being “dead” in a post-apocalyptic Late Middle Ages.

Parties of undead PCs set out on dangerous expeditions from the safety of their little shanty village into the desolate wastelands and decaying castles of the old world overrun with mindless hollow soldiers who nevertheless still guard their posts and patrol the roads, attacking anyone they see as intruders and invaders. They do this to keep their minds sharp, and to bring back “treasures,” in a world where a chess board with all the pieces, a picture bible, or a musical instrument hold more value than a glistening golden crown.

Dying to any of those gruesome dangers is not the end of a Death Bed PC (they died once already or they wouldn’t be here). Instead what they have to worry about is their own progression towards hollowness, which is advanced significantly by death, but also despair and idleness, yet staved off and reversed by morale-boosting experiences, meeting new people, setting and accomplishing goals, and improving the quality of life at their new home.

This game takes much more after the dungeon crawling of AD&D than that of D&D3e and onwards. Fighting monsters is just one role for PCs to take in the party, not the only thing they do. Lots of PCs will be non-combatants providing scouting, moral support, logistics support, utility, etc.. Also they’ll have to do all this while navigating strict medieval gender and social caste roles.

This game is currently in pre-alpha but you can read the PDF on our patreon, or in either of our discord servers.

The pre-alpha version will come out on our itchio after it’s been playtested at least once, after which I will be working to bring it to alpha stage to make it suitable for running actual multi-session campaigns with character progression.

What exactly is the death bed ttrpg?

And they pass the rock to @anim-ttrpgs

Focused Research - Game Design

DIND is a small turn-based strategy game that uses Yahtzee as the main combat mechanic, with the ability to buff your dice every level. The game only has idle animations but is very fun to play due to the luck and strategy involved. This is something I intend to emulate in my game, with the gambling on action mechanic. Moreover, the pixel art is also similar to how I want my game to look.

youtube

Lost In Random is an...interesting game. The combat revolves around gathering gems that give you cards, and they will fill up your die. At any point, the die can be rolled and it gives you mana equal to the value rolled. This can then be used to use the cards gained earlier. Although thie combat system is far more complicated than mine, I intend to recreate the broad strokes, such as the rolling of the die to secure damage.

One Deck Dungeon is a dungeon crawler that revolves around a form of the game Knucklebones for combat. Although my combat system differs substantially from knucklebones, the idea of randomness for ccombat is the same.

Buckshot Roulette is very similar to one of my planned mechanics - namely the russian roulette revolver attack. Moreover, it is also a 1v1 game against AI. The items are also similar to the deck-stacking ability I intend to implement. Having said that, due to the complexities of BR [gamemodes, visuals and AI complexity], there are a number of areas where my game will differ due to time, engine and skill constraints.

Cris Tales, although different to my game in many ways, is also turn-based. This is represented through portraits at the top of the screen [similar to other turn-based games like Baldur's Gate]. Although there aren't enough characters in my game to merit this system, I do like the idea of it. The ability selection [Similar to that in Persona] is also very interesting, given it's location, style and dynamism. Given that I'm unsure of how I want my ability selection to operate, I may use a similar system.

K but looking back, the underland chronicles as far as conflict and villains go, is perfect. but one thing that would have been interesting for the series, but alas impossible, would be seeing more of king Gorger. see he's a bloodthirsty psycho but with a reason. He was minding his own frikking business when solavet attacked the gnawers in the garden of hesperides out of the blue. he became king because he was absolutely haywire after what she did. slaughtering innocent civilians and pups. I don't blame him.

his vile and controlling behavior to the other rats and allies was not justified, hence still a villain. an underland attack? nuts. he's crazy. but he was attacking the ones he percieved to be helping the humans. the killers. the ones who have been attacking the underland since day one (lets not forget the diggers)

something Gorger DID do is ally himself with the crawlers. the gnawers prey. He knew as long as they were allied they would not do anything against them. He made a safe but sacrificing decision.

Honestly as soon as he showed up I was so ready for this dude to be the series main villain because he's A SASSY DIVA AND A MADMAN.

He strolls in casually, sprawls out on his side like a victoria's secret model, and ha's this dangerous elequence to him. he will mock you to your face. he will skip the niceties (aside from a dramatic entrance degrading villainous introduction, and a little idle chit chat to let you know he's calm and totally in control) he will do this like a freaking sherlock holmes villain. i. loved it. 'you're a nice fellow, I hate to kill you.' type of guy. but behind that relaxed, poised, and very elegantly royal appearence, you don't have to look closely to see that it's all frail as glass. he'll flip on a dime and lash out like a wild animal. he's brutal. he's toxic. he's king for a reason. HE ACCESORIZES WITH THE CROWN OF HIS FALLEN ENEMY AND WEARS IT TO MEET HIS DAUGHTER THIS MAN IS HERE FOR THE APPLAUSE. he likes to play with his prey and wants everyone to be afraid. once someone counters that, he starts to crack. MAN I LOVE THE COMPLEXITY AND POTENTIAL AND PERSONALITY OF THIS WRETCHED MONSTER I WANTED MORE OF HIM WHY DID HE ONLY GET TWO PAGES.

THE WAY HE WAS SO CONFIDENT TOWARDS RIPRED AND SEEMED TO KNOW HIM PRETTY WELL I THINK GORGER RATHER TOOK A SHINE TO HAVING A RAGER MERCINARY AND PUTTING HIM IN THE DUNGEON TO CARE FOR GREGOR'S DAD WAS A SURE-FIRE WAY TO KEEP HIM LOW ON THE PODIUM AND CLOSE

AND HE ISN'T STUPID. HE KILLED THE CRAWLER WHO SAID RIPRED DROWNED GORGER WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHO RIPRED PICKED TO GO ON THAT RAID HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THEY WERE COWARDS AND WEAKLINGS AS SOON AS HE HEARD THE CRAWLERS NEWS HE MAYBE ASSUMED THAT RIPRED HAD FAKED HIS DEATH AND WAS HELPING THE HUMANS THAT'S WHY HE SHOWED NO SURPRISE OR FEAR WHEN RIPRED BETRAYED HIM H E K N E W. HE PULLED THE GUARDS FROM THE PIT AND BAITED THEM IN HE KNEW.

bro if you want a free game that’s like half idle game half dungeon crawler and hilarious/has good humor

play soda dungeon/soda dungeon 2.

theyre originally mobile games, so they DO have microtransactions, but you dont need to do them. theyre both on steam, so you don’t have to deal with ads vs the mobile version. the microtransactions on the pc version are purely like... make the game easier stuff i think, but you dont have to do anything w that.

soda dungeon 2 came out recently, and it’s WAY more extensive than the first one (you dont need to play the first one to know anything abt it- the second one is basically the same game w tweaks and better mechanics)

soda dungeon 2 has a crafting system and a little tiny town you can fix up to help you out

i dont normally advocate for mobile-style games but soda dungeon is like.... actually REALLY good, cause its not constantly blasting the microtransactions in your face. its more like “do u wanna buy this? no? ok cool dw abt it”, at least in my opinion.

#mod talks #i like to just let it run its course and mess around w tavern upgrades afterward #soda dungeon #soda dungeon 2

dungeon crawler

A little under a year ago I started doing a new thing that I thought I would probably never do: I started playing Dungeons and Dragons with a group of people from work. It started as something of an experiment for most of us. Our DM had never run a campaign before, and three of the five players (myself included) had never played at all. For me it felt like a risk. I didn’t really know these people, and I find it hard to join in with new things. Small talk and idle chat is, for me, incredibly difficult, so starting something like this alone would have seemed impossible; left to myself, I will almost never be the one to initiate any social situation. In this case I was lucky enough to be sat next to other people who would be outgoing enough to get this thing going. So we did.

At first I was convinced we would incur ridicule. For a while we met in a gaming bar, which seemed the most appropriate sort of venue — but it turned out to be too far to travel to be worthwhile. Then we met in a series of pubs in the vicinity of our office, where we tried to avoid spilling beer on our character sheets and dropping dice on the floor. For a while I was convinced that we’d be interrupted at some point by drunks intent on taking the piss, but this never actually happened, in spite of our DM’s talent for silly accents.

Eventually we settled on a lowbrow Italian bar/restaurant five minutes from the office, which proved a remarkably tolerant venue for our game nights. At times the game itself was messy and haphazard. Rules were bent and probably broken. For a long time the quest rambled on without any clear end point in sight. Some sessions passed with barely any combat while we got into the weeds of who was doing what in whatever town we happened to be lost in. I learned that it is difficult sometimes to resist descending into improvised stupidity in D&D; for a while I think we were infatuated with the idea that anything was possible in this game. One character became preoccupied with the idea of collecting shoes from the corpses of our enemies. Because why not?

The rules of D&D seem rigid at first, but they allow for an enormous amount of improvised stupidity. Each person plays a character, with their traits picked and rolled from a huge table of options; there will be treasure to find and monsters to slay, but between that, what happens in terms of the direction of the adventure is mostly left to the participants figure out. What you do from moment to moment is up to you. In this regard, the outcome is a collaboration between the players and the Dungeon Master. The DM might channel the players through a series of pre-staged encounters, with no opportunity to stray from pre-written path. Or the group might make everything up as they go along, with every pause between combat becoming an extended negotiation as to whether it’s possible to start a brawl in a tavern, or rob the town library, or simply start walking in the opposite direction to the one intended.

Our game mostly strayed towards the latter. At the end of some sessions our DM, amused and faintly exasperated, would show us a set of maps he’d sketched in advanced for dungeons conceived but never used because we had decided to opt for some counter-intuitive side-quest. Not that any of it really mattered. D&D isn’t a game intended to be won. Even failing a really important dice roll isn’t a catastrophe; in fact, some of our most entertaining, memorable moments came out of our most unlucky failures. The game is based on the assumption that the players will overcome any odds, so most failure in D&D is only temporary — an amusing diversion which forces the players to consider ever-more creative solutions.

Socialising feels viable to me if I can link it to a commitment. Opportunities for casual open-ended engagements – hanging out – are, for me, impossible to create. It’s difficult for me to ask to simply exist for a while in the company of another person, doing either as much or as little as we like. I can understand the appeal but I don’t understand how one gets to that position. But D&D has format and structure that requires attention and attendance. It’s a thing in my diary which becomes a commitment. The game can’t take place is if we are missing more than one or two people. In this regard it is almost like a meeting at work. You can extend the metaphor further: the DM is the chairperson; minutes are taken on character sheets; an agenda is followed, at least until messy, unpredictable human beings become involved. We don’t actually talk about ourselves very much during these sessions. There is simply too much else to do, and it can take a long time to do much of anything in this game.

In a way, finishing a quest-line in Dungeons and Dragons is the ultimate failure because it means you definitely have to stop playing. The constant journey is the ideal: an endless process of trying, failing, growing, learning and levelling. Some D&D campaigns go on for years across hundreds of sessions, with the same people playing the same characters. I like the opportunity for change; we’re about to start a new campaign with a different set of characters, and going back to the player’s handbook with a blank page in mind has been a challenge in itself. My first character was Matthias, a cleric I named after the heroic mouse in the first book in the Redwall series; he was pretty effective in his own way, though given that I was still learning the rules as I went along, most of my decisions were perhaps reactive rather than proactive. (Again: see how easy it is to slip into the language of the workplace with this stuff.)

There is a temptation to scour the internet for tips and tricks as to how to build the most powerful, most effective character possible, and I’ve had a fair amount of fun doing that recently. But D&D isn’t like a video game. There aren’t any shortcuts to victory — and even if there were, you might not want to take them. Building a perfectly effective killing machine would be the most boring way to play this game. And it almost certainly wouldn’t work, because even the most carefully prepared character won’t survive a DM determined to level the playing field. Equally, a little fudging the rules in favour of an unprepared or confused player is perfectly acceptable in the name of fun.

Sometimes I wonder if any of this is helpful, in social terms. I wonder if what I am doing is a good use of my time, and I wonder if any of it is a sort of personal challenge for me. To put it another way, isn’t it only a way of compartmentalising social interaction in a way that��s comfortable, rather than really engaging with other people in a more ordinary and perhaps more meaningful sense? What use is this if I’m still awkward, both at the D&D table and in the world at large? If all of this were to stop tomorrow, would I have any way of getting myself back into it? I don’t know. I couldn’t honestly say it has made me feel more stronger or more confident in any particular way. But I would rather be doing it than not.
