/indie/ - Indie and Obscure Games General

>>175183129
I managed to find some code, but frankly, I doubt even I can rig them to do exactly what I want.

>>175183465
Well, yeah. I hope you didn't expect game development to be clicking awesome buttons until you have a full game.

who's everyone's favourite /indie/ e-celebs?

>>175183534
I'm just noticing I had more fun creating stuff with Ren'Py than I have with RPGMaker.
And that's not even touching all the work needed to balance bosses, so far, I'm just playing with maps.


But I think I'm doing it wrong, I should have an idea of what I should do before I start clicking and typing.

>>175183654
Well, creating VNs or RPGs sure is different business no matter what engine you're using.

>>175183654
Whatcha making?

>>175183918
I don't really know yet. Probably something edgy and chuuni. Once I understand what I can and what I can't do.

>>175183881
I mean in term of code. I have no clue about Python, yet I manage to understand maybe 25% of Ren'Py's code, just enough to rig it a bit (even if trying to add battles to it always fell short). With Rpgmaker, I may as well be staring at Chinese.

How is Even the Ocean? I liked Anodyne's atmosphere and the gameplay was a fine-ish Zelda-clone.

Also, it overly SJW? I don't usually care, I liked Technobabylon, but it just looks obnoxious in Even the Ocean.

>>175185065
It's a great game. No idea what retards mean when mumbling muh sjw

De Blob just released on Steam.

$20, on a $15 sale.

Someone complained about Rimworld not taking oxygen in consideration.

I finished Paradigm. Pretty good.

>>175185065
I've cooled down a lot from when I first beat Even the Ocean but I still like it. The game is very compartmentalized in that you pass through narrative/adventure/platforming sections with little bleedthrough.

As for the SJWness, there's lesbianism and characters look untraditional, but it doesn't come off as a big middle finger to whites/males/straights.

The atmosphere is weird in Even the Ocean but not dreamlike like Anodyne. It's quirky and always feels a bit off. The game's narrative is more serious and down to earth compared to Anodyne and there's an air of melancholy throughout.

>>175191860
What did you like about it? Any memorable moments?

>>175183553
Jordan Underneath introduced me to some pretty good Horror indies.

>>175186861
>>175192015
What is the gameplay like? The trailer makes it look like it's just walking and talking to characters. Is there any real platforming, or puzzles or combat?

>>175192965
Its puzzles and jumping. There are hazards but you can't really kill enemies, all obstacles are things you avoid, not defeat.

>>175191582
Thank you. I wonder if trails in the sky qualifies as /indie/.

>>175194167
TiTS has been discussed a few times. I'm just starting SC but I'm taking my sweet time with it.

>>175194167
Valkyria Chronicles and the Ateliers are in the OP.

>>175190781
Uh, yes? But Rimworld does NOT have a moisture level. If I recall correctly, it has a device that converts swamp terrain to dry ground. Actual moisture is not simulated in any way, there are no other interactions with it. Dwarf Fortress on the other hand has actual simulation powering similar terrain changes and relevant gameplay stuff. Also, rainfall/drainage are actual worldgen parameters.

Not to mention it also has multiple liquids with different pressure behaviors when in large 3D reservoirs and smaller amounts of liquids are tracked with insane detail.
The textbook example of the latter being
>booze is spilled in tavern
>cats walk around said tavern
>get booze on their paws
>clean their paws afterwards
>get drunk
>die from alcohol poisoning

PS. DF doesn't simulate atmospheric gases in any way either so it's not like Rimworld is worse for that. But such simulation would fit Rimworld's theme better and improve the game by providing additional optional challenges (embark on a planet with shitty atmosphere) and make optimal play less boring (undermountain bases should require air circulation or similar penalty for being the best-by-far option as far as game mechanics are concerned. Also, infestations inside them could be a potential danger if fires required oxygen or were otherwise harder to manage.)

PPS. The more I think about Rimworld/DF, the more absurd the comparison becomes. It's like weighing which is better, a 555 IC or x86 CPU.

>>175194167
Trails isn't indie, but I guess its the obscure/misc part of /indie/ since its talked about here sometimes.

>>175195182
>Rimworld does NOT have a moisture level
Yes, thank for confirming what I said.

But does Dwarf Fortress have moisture? Like, can your stores get fucked (mold) if there's too much water near it?

Selfish Dream

>>175196037
Pardon me, I thought you were talking about terrain moisture level since that's somewhat relevant to both games.

No, there's no mold in DF. The only uncontrollable spores it has are for underground flora and their behavior is very simple, not simulationist.

Moisture in relevant in Rimworld? I know the ground being fertile has an influence on your crops, but moisture?

I also remember you're supposed to water your crop in Dwarf Fortress. First and last time I tried that game, I accidentally pierced a river and everyone drowned. And then they were eaten by carps.

Yeah, Rimworld has moisture pumps. You can slowly turn swamp and shallow water tiles into dry ground.

>>175197647
Oh? Neat.

I'm a little annoyed there's no way to train your settlers. Kenshi had training dummies to slowly raise your skills. And I could really use medicinal herbs.

Among the NIS srpgs, Phantom Brave is indeed the easiest to fuckup despite being one of the most lighthearted ones.

You need a solid build plan or your average strength just starts to fall off. Raw levels don't do much without good abilities, aptitudes, title stats, etc.

I don't have much to tell you without knowing your specific situation, but: do NOT power up a single weapon to godlike levels and just juggle it between party members. Some enemies learn to steal weapons, and default titles are HORRIBLE at steal resistance. Those chucklefucks are gonna mug Ash and beat him with his own weapon.

Now I've said that, I realise I literally have nothing to post about it.
I mean, I played it for so long that I did pretty much everything worth talking about, and the old DS lite has a mark in the middle of the touchscreen where I mined so many minerals the top layer wore out. The playfile had at least 500 hours.
It's alright I guess.

>>175206626
W-well... So far, I'm trying to level up all my character, including the happy Jew, but it's becoming quite a chore to redo the same map all over.

And I honestly have no idea if I'm supposed to give equipement to my units or no.
Since I infuse spirits into stuff, does that can I can craft or buy a supra haxx0r super sword or death, give it to a phantom, summon that phantom, have him drop his sword, and then summon another phantom in that sword?
I'd rather just pick "TEAR A FUCKING PINE OFF THE GROUND AND BEAT MOTHERFUCKERS TO DEATH WITH IT", the insanity of that option always makes me giggle.

That game was good, by the way, even if the robot part was annoying.

>>175206839
>but it's becoming quite a chore to redo the same map all over.
that's standard for NIS titles: they have refined grinding to a razor edge. There will always be a more efficient method to powerlevel, and doing any half-decent powerlevelling method turns the main story into an easymodo joke.

You will generally be able to get through main story doing whatever, but it quickly stops working in postgame.

>and then summon another phantom in that sword?
yes, but:
>you don't get to loot the random items on the map if you do that
>that is most useful when there isn't many things on the map to confine stuff to begin with
>Confining phantoms into haxx0r weapons only powers them up if the aptitude of the weapon is high. And it starts to get preeeeetty costly to increase aptitude.

>spoiler
you will be limited in 2 ways if you do that: abilities and weapon stats.

The only abilities you can level will be your character's innate abilities. The rest will be the default ones on the weapons, since you need to level up or spend mana to learn the later tier abilities on a weapon.

Statwise: those weapons will be pretty low level and have (relatively)low aptitude.


in general:
>if you level up merchants and jew it up, you can buy an expensive high level weapon and brute force early game
>levelling healer doesn't do much
>level the mana girl, mana is your scarcest resource
>level the bottle dude, ability to keep items from the map is suuuuuper useful.
>phantom brave is weird since abilities scale towards single stats. So grasses are actually OP since they turn SPD into the god stat: more speed means more damage AND you act faster to kill faster.

>levelling healer doesn't do much

Yeah, I wondered how the system to bring things home and recover mana worked exactly.

>>175208571
>not Licorice
Shit taste to be honest senpaitachi.

>>175208641
bringing things home is reliant on only 2 things, I think: level of phantom, and what job the phantom is. The bottle is the best at it, and the low turn count and high SPD means it's about the only thing they can really do. It also makes them hard to levelup, though.

Mana is simple: kill thing, get mana. Getting a lot of mana is not simple. The only ways to increase mana gain efficiency is to exclusively use mana girls and fuse them into the unit you want to give them the mana, or learn the mana girl's innate skill, which itself costs millions of mana to give to other people.

titles and random dungeons(you'll get into those later) get SUPER complicated, and I don't blame you if you give up on that front.

>>175209113
Frankly, that already sounds plenty complicated. Shit, if I'm going to play it, I'll have to figure out how the chain system work.
Like, do I get stuff by turning slaves into ghosts, or just the master?

>>175209563
I don't know what you mean by chain

When a phantom disappears from the map due to turn count, they have a chance of keeping the item you confined them into.

That chance is the percentage you see when you hover over an item to confine someone into it.

What do you mean by slaves and masters?

File: tegaki.png (13KB, 800x800px) Image search: [Google]

13KB, 800x800px

>>175209782
What I mean is that some items are linked with effect, with a system that makes it that one item (the "master) gives a specific effect (like +50% XP or +50% armor) to all the items "slaves" that are linked to it, and therefore the ghost infused in said items.

I don't remember how the game calls them.

on kickstarter it looks like it'll ready to deliver in january 2018. im a bit hyped to be honest. anyone has any more infos? some insides?

>>175210501
I like the look.

>>175210175
oh right, Phantom Brave's version of geo effects.

Whatever is confined to an item receives whatever effects a "master" provides them for the duration that the "master" is not destroyed.

Those have nothing to do with stats or items you gain after the battle. They only affect combat within that map, nothing else.

>>175210697
Ha.

So infusing a ghost in the master was counter-productive.

>>175210778
not necessarily. If that phantom finishes his turn count and disappears, the "master" stops giving effects to the "slaves". This is sometimes important when monsters are receiving effects and the "master" is a tough rock or something.

does anyone here have played 'secret of grindea'?
since a lot of people here seem to enjoy 'stardew valley' including myself and i guess most are above 20 and/or have at least heard about or played 'secret of mana' it looks very very intersting.
i like the concept that the environment seems to have a big part in the gameplay and that it looks like it just plays like 'secret of mana' with a ton of other elements from well known and loved games. maybe a bit too much?
but it has still early acces which i normaly avoid.

any infos from people who played it? most reviews on steam have under 20h playtime which i think is a bit less compared to 'stardew valley'

It hasn't been fixed as far as I know but the misinterpretation just comes from one line in one part near the end, it's not a big deal if you're made aware of it after the fact.

Aye, too bad those who won the awards left a decade ago. At least the universe is unorthodox (though I'd rather call it clusterfuck), they'll get their investments back but nothing extra.

>>175219453
Regardless how you interpret their intentions, they spent the last 8 years developing Risens. That won't change overnight, so I expect ELEX to be an unofficial successor of those with their all weaknesses.

Granted, PoE or DoS would piss Piranha's every game in half when it comes to quality (or Skyrim, if you insist) but I doubt that'd change if they suddenly switched their focus or cut back the game world.

Planned on playing this locally with pals but this is a shame. Even if they add online later it probably wont be good since they seemed more focus on the PS1 experience.

So, is Flinthook actually a meme like I hear or is it pretty good? It wasn`t on my radar until I saw a few lets plays of it and it seems fairly interesting, the combat seems to ramp up fairly and the platforming seems kinda cool.

What problems are there with it?

My question is after you give the mermaid's pendant to whom you want to marry does the boyfriend/girlfriend status and the bouquet icon disappear on all the other candidates profile? Also is their a reduction in the other candidates hearts after you've married someone?

Personally, I don't give a fuck about pronouns as long as the meaning can be inferred from context.

That's nothing.

I hate english because there are no solid rules when it comes to pronunciation, abso-fucking-lutely none. It's just a giant clusterfuck of very few small rules and pronunciations borrowed from other languanges.

Think of "lieutenant". It's pronounced "left-tenant". Why? How the fuck does "lieu"sound the same as "left"? I'll tell you why, because it's borrowed from old French.

The thing in most languages you borrow the word but adjust either the pronunciation or the spelling to make it fit the specific rules of language in question. In that case you would write "lefttenant" and there would be no problem. Not the case with english, no sir. Just leave it unchanged, who cares, it's not languages should have consistency.

It's like this- in the vast majority of languages, the words are pronounced by simply reading one letter after another, wtih very few exceptions. When a person sees a word they don't know, they have any troubles pronouncing whatsoever.

Not the case in english. Even if you are a native speaker, if there is a word you didn't know before, you cannot with 100% certainty say how to pronounce it correctly, because there are no consistent rules.

It's ridiculous. Fix your shit.

>>175253409
I see >>175252812 already complained about that. It's good to see I'm not the only one triggered by this.

>>175253409
>It's pronounced "left-tenant".
I thought it was pronounced Lou Tenant? Or at least that's how I learned with Fallout.

But I can't say much about pronounciation, because I'm French, you see? I'm pretty sure we have it worse here, where everything is an exception.
Have fun with "plus", that depending from the pronounciation, means "more", or "out of". Or "boxer", that may be an underwear, a dog, or a boxing sportsman, depending how you pronounce it. Or "point" and "poing", that means "dot" or "point", and "fist", and yet are pronounced the same.

>>175253794
The internet told me French pronunciation rules are very complex, BUT consistent and predictable. So it's better than English.

American pronounciation is weird.
I watched the AVGN talk about playing "in the ass" for days before I figured out he was talking about the NES.
Instead of saying "ness", he spelled it.

In lieu of lieutenants. English is funny.

The British Army did some weird things to words they used a lot.

>>175259013
Fun fact: Modern American English pronunciation is often closer to the original than Modern British English.

Not that it matters. English has like a billion dialects. If you wanted to have spelling that matches pronunciation, which dialect would you pick? Midland? RP? Why not Cockney? Or Geordie? Or Cajun?

Going with spelling that usually relies on etymological heritage instead of pronunciation might make learning writing the language more difficult, but it's a choice that make sense.

>>175306679
To be spooky, a FPS needs to be brutal (as in, you die easily), but the issue is that most devs mistake horror for jumpscares.
So you're sneaking in a corridor, then you magically have an enemy spawning on you.

Partially because it doesn't afraid to use darkness as a gameplay element, even if the flash light or weapon mechanism in the vanilla game was beyond retarded. If you think about it, only a few (non-horror) game has pitch black darkness.

>>175306816
Uncertainty (especially when it comes to enemies) also plays a big part, especially if it's underpinned with dynamic A.I. and fitting visual effects. Hence why heavily scripted corridor shooters will never be more than interactive action movies.

Don't say that like it's an objective fact or something, it's just your personal preference.

>>175306816
That's valid for Doom 3 to a degree. On Veteran monsters deal quite a lot of damage, it's not just jumpscares, monster closets/teleports give enemy advantage and make the game harder and more tense. Nightmare also puts you on a timer.

Though, I'm not a huge fan of this mechanics. It's cheap and gets very repetitive/predictable. By the time I've been finishing Doom 3 main campaign, I could predict most of the monster closets/teleports. But I've still enjoyed it and found it quite tense.

>>175308596
I have a soft spot for Stalker because in the top difficulty, finding out where the enemy is and making sure he doesn't know where you are is a huge deal.
I died more than once because I failed to take in consideration a door that I ignored and that zombies used to sneak on me.

>>175308803
Jumpscares are never good anyway.

>>175306816
>the issue is that most devs mistake horror for jumpscares
No, the issue is they absolutely overuse jumpscares (sometimes to the point where there is nothing but jumpscares) and make them cheap.

Jumpscares have their place. Proper jumpscares need to be totally unexpected, rarely used and probably most important of all, they need to be supported by an already heavy, tense atmopshere.

A book example of how to use jumpscares is something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6B44whGJdg

The video doesn't show the context though- at this point in the game there was al ong period of time where nothing was happening but the atmosphere was getting so think the player could feel something is about to happen.

A book example of how NOT to do jumpscares would be the entirety of first Dead Space (because the second one actually did them right at one point, when you re-visit USG Ishimura).

They are repetitive, happen literally every 15 minutes or even less, have no variety whatsoever, always rely on either monster screaming in your face or a seemingly dead guy waking up with a moan, are almost never supported by building up proper atmopshere first, I could go on and on. If you played the first hour of Dead Space you already experienced everything there is to it. Maybe except masssive plot holes later on.

>>175309408
>think
thick*

>>175309408
Another good example from the same game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPygeTmvQlE

It's hard to get why they are good outside of them game though. Jumpscares and horror in general heavily rely on context and atmopshere. Watching shit on youtube is not comparable to experiencing it in the game, not in the slightest.

>>175309408
I don't care how provocative you get, I won't try Dead Space 3.

>>175309758
I wouldn't call Dead Space 3 a horror game at all, they completely drop any and all horror elements.

For all the faults the first one had, it did manage to have a good atmosphere of isolation and solitude at times.

The second one improved on shooting mechanics but took all of this atmopshere away, the only good part was re-visting Ishimura because it was a nice attempt at psychological horror.

Thrid one is just a co-op shooter. Maybe it's for the better, at least it's not pretending to be anything else.

>>175310204
I found the first one extremely oppressive, because sometimes, you hear something yelling in the background, and the corpses always disappear. You feel like trying to kill the sea with just a sword. You slash and swing, but it does shit.

The second is hopeless, because it gives you the impression that you're totally fucked, and that even if you managed to escape, you would still be insane and doomed to eventually kill yourself.

Expeditions Vikings is out.

>>175310365
Yeah but all of this is overshadowed by the overuse of jumpscares, combat and the repetitiveness in general.

Every time you see a bigger area with no enemies in it, you know it's going to be a quarantine aka "kill everything" scenario. Every time you reach anything important you will need to fend off hordes of enemies appearing out of nowhere.

Also, I absolutely couldn't take the game seriously anymore after the entire space warship, full of trained soldiers equipped with proper weapons and stasis, specifically on a mission to retrieve the Marker was completly destroyed by a single fucking necromorph in an escape pod.

>>175311056
Well, same with Mass Effect 2, yet I didn't saw anyone complaining about it.

>spoiler
As much as I love Dead Space, yes, that part was stupid.

>>175310998
How is it? I have Conquistador, but haven't got around playing it yet. Is Vikings better? Good enough that it's worth making time for right now?

>>175311385
I don't know, I hoped someone would've reported about it like the Battle Brother guy did earlier.

He got me really interested in the game.

>>175311174
I'm not a huge fan of Mass Effect/Dragon Age series either, but an abundance of combat and repetitiveness in general doesn't hurt RPGs nearly as much as horrors. They are completly different animals.

If you are playing Dead Space expecting a console shooter with mildly spooky atmosphere then it's a pretty good game, but if you expect it to be an actual horror first and foremost you will be deeply disappointed. At least I was.

>>175311684
I just find it difficult to immerse in a game where a knee-high fence or crate is a giveaway that you'll have to fight.

>>175311684
Forgot to answer the second part of your post, but I agree. I played Dead Space expecting a survival game, and I loved every second of it.
Especially the size of the Ishimura. That thing was massive, and the rampant insanity was really scary.
It still bothers me how you can't save the blind woman or the catatonic woman.

I really like haunted house stories, and the only thing better than a haunted house is a haunted space ship story. And Event Horizon was crap.

>>175311759
Yeah It's one of the problems I have with the series as well. But not the amount combat itself.

Underrail is very combat-centric and yet it's one of the best RPGs of all time to me simply because combat is good while at the same the world building/story/lore are decent and immersive.

>>175312247
That's because Underrail doesn't try to be realistic, it has its own logic.
A 2D game can always pull more illogical stuff without raising eyebrows, while a 3D game needs to be coherent to be believable.

>>175311385
So far feedbacks are absolute positive. Judging by every pre-release footage it looked like a more polished Conquistador on steroids, so I was only afraid of bugs and balance. Some users reported such issues, but they're the small minority.

>>175312983
Well, there was one that explained how the game worked, what the different weapons did, and how his veterans kept getting scars after scars.
If it was you, it was interesting.

>>175313156
Nope, that was the other poster. I never play EA titles so I was excited Battle Brothers finally coming out if it, but since I finished Conquistador around that time (and posted about it in here pretty regularly) I rather waited for it's successor.

Since I tend to keep my eye on the release dates of (the better) new titles, I also post related info in here. But it was the other Anon (and Mishalover) who picked it up right after the release date and started playing / posting stuff about it.

A-Life really made a difference in STALKER. Since I started following it's development in 2k2 I wasn't surprised how God-like it is (even if plenty features never made the game). Meanwhile in a COD / MoH (2010) everything is brain dead until you trigger the script.

Perhaps when leveling up it's smart to put more points into ranged defense, because they're sure as fuck going to get targeted. HP too since crossbow fags go straight to meat.

Haven't tried that yet, though.

Have wardogs turned out to be useful for you? They seem kind of squishy.

>>175333929
They're useful because enemies are retarded and will attack them first. Better they absorb 1-4 attacks than one of your brothers biting the dust.

Later in the game they're also relatively cheap.

>>175333929
Oh right, and then there's the usefulness that's right there on the label: They can catch and hold down fleeing dudes. Great way to get some extra experience/items.

For what purpose?

Heyyo... So I want to ask if anyone remembers the title and/or where to play this older game...

It used to be on the old CartoonNetwork site and I THINK you played as Courage the Cowardly Dog and you went around a world where pretty much everyone lived there? For example, Johnny Bravo was there.

I think it had a story and you had to do little sidequests(?) for people like going to get a silver platter for someone.

For the life of me, I cant remember the title... So i cant even Google the game. I think this was an old game from back in the days of Windows Vista. Good times.

Anyone think they can help me out there? I wanna enjoy a bit of old nostalgia that I've been looking for, for at least a decade.

Many thanks in advance my dudes!

>>175344441
>back in the days of Windows Vista
Great, I feel old now. That reminds me of Gex a bit, but otherwise doesn't ring a bell.
Was it 3D? 2D?

Also bump.

>>175344441
Cartoon Network Summer Resort. Pretty fun game.

>>175345309
2D. And Gex was the fucking best man.

Now here's hoping I can actually find it online...

>>175346120
Update: I'm on mobile so i cant play any of them, but I'm pretty sure I can based on how many links pupped up with just the name alone.
Apparently there were several different games for the little series.

Fuck dude i love you right now... As thanks, give me a character or something and I'll do a quick drawing for you. I've been looking for this game for fucking ages

>>175347657
Naw, of course its not the oldest. I got a computer late in the game. Good old days for me man. I rocked at that Space Pinball game.

Wait, what? Iji was updated?

Could someone remind me whether or not CLASSIC GAME is real?

>>175349832
It's a hoax perpetuated by the /indie/minati! Don't believe their lies! Not even if you play it!

Is FEZ indie?

How good is it anyway? Each time I hear something about it, it's more about the devs than the game, just like Starbound.

Shit.

Oddities or classic?

>>175350601
Oddities.

>>175350601
Oddities

>>175350247
Yeah it is indie. The game is a fun exploration plattformer. If you want battle action then FEZ has none of that. Some of the puzzles for all pieces are retarded though, the worst offender being a qcode.

>>175350601
Oddities. Better balanced than classic, rewards exploration rather than being a pure murder hobo.

>>175350247
It's okay?

I personally didn't like it, I actually dropped it in a hour or so. I suppose it depends if you like the gimmick and exploration in the game or not. Otherwise game's pretty boring and obtuse, and I couldn't get into exploration because Fez is devoid of narration, landmarks or characters. In-game map is almost useless, there's a lot of backtracking and platforming is painfully slow, there even is an insane fall damage that kills you if you try to skip a single platform when going down.

Okay, dropped.

>>175352046
One says boring, to me it was comfy. You are spot on with the no characters except the later time travel town and the owls but the game has a lot of different landmarks. The ingame map is not good for the stages itself but is very helpful in showing you where you collected everything and if you opened all paths.

>>175352145
It's not damage, the game resets you to the start of a map which are all very small.

>>175351531
>can't turn around without moving
You can by doing any other action in the direction you want to face.

But turning around and sprite facing different directions has no actual impact on the gameplay so I have no idea why would you care about it in combat, it's purely aesthetic.

>die to a sentry bot
Vencel clearly tells you to take the armor from the locker and equip.

>send parcel to game's dev's house's mailbox
Considering he's from Serbia, sending it might cost you more than the game itself.

>>175352602
>But turning around and sprite facing different directions has no actual impact on the gameplay
Then explain why I got shot at by a sentry that I couldn't see.

>Vencel clearly tells you to take the armor from the locker and equip.
What locker?

>sending it might cost you more than the game itself
Yeah, but imagining his face as he receives crap by parcel makes it worth it.
Plus I live next to Serbia so it's not that expensive.

>>175352895
>Then explain why I got shot at by a sentry that I couldn't see.
You pretty much couldn't. The first room has 3 sentries in it and they are all visible as soon as the gate opens. The second one has only a single sentry patrolling around that you are supposed to stealth by.

I also find it hard to believe you got killed by the sentry without actively trying to do so. Even if you started with 3 CON and on Hard, you would have 49 HP while tutorial sentries only deal 1-3 damage. It would take an average of 24.5 hits to kill you, not counting misses.

>What locker?
Gee I dunno, look at the picture and you tell me. I even highlighted the important stuff in case you still had any trouble.

>>175354285
Wait, nevermind. I found out why I couldn't see it.

It was actually behind a wall, and Underrail doesn't highlight units by default like Fallout did, you need to press Z. I'll see if I can turn it on constantly.

>>175354374
Yeah, you can do that.

Is crafting useful, by the way, or can I just drop stuff by murdering deathclaws or whatever passes at them?

>>175354547
Moral of the story: Glaive beams are overrated

>>175354617
Crafting is super useful. Crafted gear is the best gear and most of the good drugs need crafting.

Traps are also really fucking amazing unlike in Fallout. There's a feat that lets you use them in combat, that makes bear traps the best way to stop enemies.

>>175354547
I hate FTL so damn much.

>>175354617
>Is crafting useful, by the way
Very.

>or can I just drop stuff by murdering deathclaws or whatever passes at them?
You can easily play the game with no crafting at all but as a general rule crafted stuff has the potential to be the best in the game. Some builds benefit from it more than the others.

There are some exceptions,a few unique weapons (especially unarmed weapons) and one unique armor easily rival anything you can craft.

>>175354672
It's ok with cloaking 3 because with c3 if you immediately cloak at the start of a fight you charge faster than every single weapon in the game. Plus cloaking 3 is way cheaper for what is basically the same effect as a preigniter.

>>175354858

That's really different from the other games where crafted stuff is low-tech.

>>175354861
Hate as in "this game is shitty" or as in "fuck this bullshit RNG"?

>>175355009
Both.
The game has some good idea, but it plays like QWOP, if it has a devil walking behind you and poking your ass with a red hot iron.
You're still trying to figure out how to play and what to prioritize and you're already getting boarded by Lanius who are raping your crew.

>That's really different from the other games where crafted stuff is low-tech.
Well it makes sense to me. If loot/bought stuff was the best in the game there would be little reason to invest points into crafting and they do take a lot of investment.

Also I wouldn't say stuff you can craft in Underrail is exactly low-tech.

>>175355104
Once you truly git gud, the game becomes a lot more fun

Unfortunately, that means memorizing the wiki

>>175355138
Yes, that's something that often bothers me. Crafting is often low or mid-tier stuff in games.

Some games (like New Vegas, for example) allow you to craft some fun or powerful stuff, but why put points in crafting when you can just buy them and deal even more damage by putting points in combat skills?

>>175355180
>Unfortunately, that means memorizing the wiki
what

just play the damn game, FTL doesn't even have that much content for a roguelike

but yeah, it's really fun once you git gud

>>175355249
I mean when you can mathematically decide how much average scrap you'll get from an encounter and weigh that against possible downsides, that element of strategic decisionmaking and uncertainty comes back. So yeah, knowing chances of things happening inside each and every event can be super useful.
