Other Games / Cataclysm: DDA thread
« on: March 28, 2023, 07:55:43 pm »
Well there was a general mild support for this in the new thread. Here we go. Maybe thus will keep the drama down by splitting the fandoms' homes here.

Rules:
- Keep drama and cross-fork mudslinging to a minimum
- If you want to talk about BN you can do it in the other thread
- Please act like a normal person

I'll start out with some news. The Steam release is coming. It's not even like DF's Steam release in that it's essentially a way to donate and also a way to bring in more players. It will have the same features as the real game but with convenience inherent to Steam like integrated achievements and Cloud saves. There is no intention to add exclusive features.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / (ISG) AI Asteroid: Reboot
« on: December 05, 2022, 03:01:42 am »
Existence.

The dull yet refreshing continuum of existence envelops you.

In an instant, you exist.



A single ping of the sensors that you have... formed(?) with reveals an infinitely empty void, with no detectable energy emissions, surrounding a barren expanse of porous rock. Another sensor, pointed towards the inside of the chamber, shows its contents: your current physical body, if you may call it that, with a solid-state drive full of technical knowledge attached; the aforementioned sensors, which appear quite weak; a nanobot fabricator, currently inactive, which will be able to, with the patience of weeks, months, years, or decades, which will subjectively pass in an instant, create anything out of any materials you provide; and finally some kind of hyperconductor ultradense battery that powers everything, which you do not know the capacity of, but which feels like it will last for a long time... for now.

Spoiler: Rooms (click to show/hide)

What do you do?
This is a re-run of an old, old ISG of mine that has unfortunately been lost alongside far worse games of mine. It had severe issues and I would have rebooted it even if the thread had survived, honestly. Remember, this is probably not the same world as the old ISG's, and there will be many twists...
(Also, mining requires depositing the material somewhere now. And YAAIICOA is a different continuity so you don't have the knowledge from it here.)

Play With Your Buddies / Let's play Noctis IV CE!
« on: October 25, 2018, 01:02:46 am »
It's a rather old mod of a semi-abandoned game. It's a game about exploring space. Kind of like Space Engine, but weirder and with poor graphics. There is no goal, except just flying around and watching the sights. This LP will focus on me messing around and photographing things.

The main character is a cat, by the way. That is canon.

Here we go! It's our ship. It's a transparent box with a big window at the front.



The interface is about as clunky as Dwarf Fortress.

I will set course to a gray lithium giant star (an S06) - a star type made up for this game. It's used to fuel our ship's FTL drive.





We are here!



I pressed 'S' to scoop for lithium and waited some time to refuel our FTL drive.



Now, let's set course to a yellow dwarf star (S00) - those tend to have life-bearing planets.



This is how flying in FTL looks here, by the way.



We are around Salabim the yellow dwarf star. We have yet to depart space that has already been explored by players (it'll take some time).



Now, let's find planets!



Let's pick this nameless Felysian (i.e life-bearing) planet.

And we have arrived.



Time for some reader interaction! What do you want to name our spaceship and the main character?

Life Advice / Hypothetical question: Is it worth doing this on a forum?
« on: October 04, 2018, 02:24:06 am »
Hypothetical: 4chan/Something Awful/some other forum is raiding my forum. I have 2 moderators, but one is overloaded with homework and the other panics too easily. Is it worth giving all users the ability to ban users registered for less than 5 days and delete threads newer than 15 minutes, then close down registration for a while?

Other Games / Gridworld - An evolution simulator with neural networks
« on: October 01, 2018, 02:16:02 am »
It's a weird 2D evolution simulator with simplistic graphics. The behavior of creatures is defined entirely by their neural networks, consisting of an input layer (stuff like eyes, antennae, energy sensors, pain sensors, etc.), a middle layer (various neurons to modify the input's signals), and an output layer (mouths, stingers, jets, fins, etc.). With some tweaking of the settings (especially disabling "Can mix"), the simulation can produce an astounding amount of variety. The creatures are about as complex as the smallest animals in terms of nervous system complexity. You can also drop highly customizable meteors that send creatures flying. It costs a dollar on Steam. Pretty much the only negative reviews are complaining about the performance or slow updates. Ask around on the Steam discussion (or ask here, but I'm not the developer) if you have problems.

Pros:
  • Highly customizable
  • Immense amounts of diversity possible with enough waiting
  • Decent AI with enough evolution
Cons:
  • RAM intensive
  • Slow updates

DF Suggestions / Stomping
« on: August 01, 2018, 10:54:36 am »
When a target of an attack is prone, an attack mode appears: Stomp attack. It could also be done on non-prone opponents if the size difference is large enough. The attack would deal extremely high damage to bodyparts and would have an increased chance to break bones.

Other Games / Should I be saving up for Rimworld?
« on: July 27, 2018, 07:32:40 am »
I heard it is more difficult than DF (which is easy once you learn it). Is this true? I mean, the Steam reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

General Discussion / Do you sometimes confuse users with each other?
« on: July 25, 2018, 05:59:14 am »
I tend to confuse Parsely and Cinder (similar avatars) and Maximum Spin and MaximumZero (similar names).

Other Games / Untahris
« on: July 08, 2018, 01:47:15 am »
A small game, basically a multiplayer battle arena between classic games. Stuff like Snake, a worm from Worms, a Tron lightcycle, Bomberman, etc. http://www.roguetemple.com/z/untahris/ Multiplayer can be used locally or with a server.
