>>158494076
A what? What would a single player game ever need a discord server for?

>>158494987
I don't even understand discord. What do people do? Liste to music and talk to each other about the topic? I figured the thread was enough for that. And how come people feel compelled to make one for every topic? I feel it's something that ultimately becomes gisnt circlejerks.

It's basically a chat room like skype, though I don't use skype so I don't know. I use it to talk to friends both in text and voice chat.

To me everything is way to splintered with them because people keep making new channels and subchannels for everything.

It has a demo, but I remember someone saying they got it in a bundle and it felt incomplete, obviously because it isn't finished. They didn't state if it was a good game or not despite that.

Is there any possible way I can survive all three rounds of roulette in Lisa without losing a member? I want to have all party members to fuck around with in the EWC, even if I have to try 300 times, I just want to know if it can happen.

>>158501346
Obviously its possible, tho you'd have to savescum if anyone shoots themselves.

>>158501861
Within what realm of possibility? I've never heard of it happening. I feel like there's an unwritten algorithm that makes it so the more people on your squad who get shot, the less likely the next time it's your partner members. That's obviously something I self-imposed, but at least 3 people always bite the bucket. I save scummed to get Buckets and that took a long ass time too, but at least it was only one person at a time.

>>158494076
Just finished the demo and I had a blast! Took about 2 hours to get what I assume is 100%. Characters are well written, dialogue is funny without being forced and the artwork is really good as well, though I'm seriously hoping for a lewd version with all that teasing. I'm really surprised at the amount of content there is for a demo, especially in terms of dialogue and comments for every character.

In terms of combat, it's nothing fancy but the summons add variety and some tension to an otherwise pretty easy combat system.

If I'd have one point of criticism it'd be that while your female and "male" characters are all really well drawn, the actual make characters such as Ken look more like the standard "I drew an anime" deviantart stuff (judging from the unlockable art).

Are you going to keep us updated on any further progress?

>>158513990
I think so yeah. it HEAVILY penalises shitty 3D aim, and has a massive skill ceiling.

>>158517452
How do either of those relate?

>>158518601
sorry bad analogy. why not play TF2 to get better at aiming in TF2? the physics are different. bullets in TF2 are instantaneous while daggers in DD are slow and subject to gravity.

>>158518854
Nah the analogy was good, I got it straight away.

>>158518854
Because I mean sorta all around FPS games, such as TF2 or maybe CS:GO or even like CoD, but since the daggers aren't instant I take that back.

Very good game. I played ti already and I tell you DO NOT PLAY ON HIGHEST DIFFICULTY.
It will quickly become impossible and even more batshit insane undoable if you want to go for the 100% playthrough that requires to open the jealous chest.

>>158522696
I had a friend going through this game on his first time and his only member lost from roulette was Percy. Sometimes you lose a few, sometimes you lose almost your entire squad. Just gotta pray for that lucky break.

My order was Nern, then Olan, and lastly I put in Terry Hintz. The man, the myth, the dancing legend. Funnily enough I lost 4 times in a row on the very first non-mandatory roulette run. Gonna come back later to get Bucket because the last time I save scummed to get him, it took me roughly over 2 hours. Time well spent

>The tags say it.
>adventure
>rpg
That just just makes me imagine watered-down shit in the vein of Bethesda's contemporary "RPGs" that are actually bland and poorly made action-adventure games.

But this game certainly doesn't look like that. It looks more like retro platformer or something. And apparently most of the game's budget went into the trailer video with awfully unfitting music.

Pass.

>>158531710
And here's a slightly better description than "hurr look at teh tags" for anyone who cares.

>Creepy Castle is an exploratory, sidescrolling RPG about an awesome moth, conveniently named Moth, who aims to uncover the vast secrets of a creepy castle. It’s a fresh and charming adventure with the looks of a classic, but don’t be fooled by its retro appearance—it’ll kill you with modern gameplay mechanics. A twist on traditional turn-based combat, Duels offer players a chance to score free hits on their opponent by performing well. Players shouldn’t let their guard down outside of Duels, however, or they might allow Moth to be squished by one of the castle’s many real-time dangers, like traditional run-and-jump platformers.

So I guess I should call it a metroidvania with duel gimmick.

Hey guys, I asked /v/ a question, but they can be dumb sometimes, so I think I'll ask here too.

Should I play Shadowrun Returns, or UnderRail? I only have time for one of them.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of both? Are they even comparable, game play wise?

Which one is objectively better?

Problem, officer?

>>158535320
>Should I play Shadowrun Returns, or UnderRail? I only have time for one of them.
UnderRail is far bigger game than Shadowrun Returns, we're talking 100 hours and 20 hours campaigns here. That's the only advantage for Shadowrun Returns - if you're short on time.

>What are the strengths and weaknesses of both?
SRR: This is the game to choose for its cyberpunk setting. But honestly, if you like the Shadowrun setting, play Dragonfall instead. It's more of the same, but better in all fronts. I haven't tried Hong Kong yet.
UR: This is the game to choose for its gameplay. Excellent character systems, great exploration, best stealth and crafting I've ever seen in an isometric RPG.

>Are they even comparable, game play wise?
Both are turn-based when it comes to combat. In SRR you control a party, but the combat is nu-xcom style retardation with 2-3 action points per turn. UR has far better tactical combat and it manages to do that with only single character and no cover system.

SRR, especially Dragonfall, plays more linearly (home hub -> teleport to mission1 -> teleport to home hub -> teleport to mission2, etc.) whereas UR is about open-ended exploration (and getting lost) in it's world.

>Which one is objectively better?
I don't know about objectivity, but I far prefer Underrail. It's a true hidden gem. Feels like proper classic RPG, absolutely no consolitis.

What was /indie/'s favorite indie game of 2016?

>>158522710
this is nice game

>>158517312
But the game is not finished? But I like playing finished games? Is this still being developed?

>>158530828
Yeah, I thought it sucked too. It's like Space Funeral with everything that made Space Funeral Space Funeral removed and replaced with memes. Furries and neckbeards and Bubsy and shit, c'mon.

Although the White Waking remix was quite nice.

also bump.

>>158530828
I loved it. And I say that after having played all games in a row.

>>158549384
>a fandom and fat nerds are memes
Oh boy! I can't wait for the next set of spicy memes: goths, jocks, sci-fi fans, and greasers

Plus if anything this game made its own "meme" with Bubsy considering how it breaks the mold with that character.

Is it possible to make an top-down perspective, roguelike rpg?

>>158558418
Sure, but you'd have to find a way to really streamline / freshen up the combat to make it not a major pain in the ass.

Hey /indie/, I'm looking for more games like Underrail.

Do you have any suggestions?

>>158554321
Aw, your arse. It's all the same shit, just internet stuff. Bubsy already had minor meme status from Bubsy Visits The James Turrell Retrospective and Ulillillia's videos.

SF was one guy's very very personal take on JRPGs, nobody else was gonna put Ruth White and Japanese noise and a blood obsession and a sad man in pajamas together. All 4 adds is obvious internet stuff.

You don't mean Cypher, do you?

If not: It's a text based game with splashes of art/music... but the main chunk is text. Seemed neat but I didn't bother getting far after I got a little stuck very early on / I heard complaints that the authors had kinda bad English... and yet made a primarily English game anyhow.

And yet the puzzles rely on getting juuuust the right word. Which can be shit if it's an uncommon synonym of the word they meant. (They may or may not have patched it)
