Bay 12 Games Forum

I don't even know what to think of this.

Dat translation.

I wonder what the word that translated into satyr was...

E: Also, in before erogecraft, the logical progression of this strange creature.

11 minute video. In which a single mech is chosen, and nothing else happens. Takes 'till 7:45 before anything is clicked.

It is a thing I do not comprehend, but am glad it makes other people happy

They were permanent a version or two ago, albeit fairly flimsy (at least after being made from frost-killed critters). It's not so much a zombie as it is a flesh golem, heh. Never did get far enough to find the materials for a proper golem... the starting one usually died to the first or second critter it met, unfortunately.

Anyone know if you can, like, inscribe magic or something into golems? That might be interesting... frost zombies would be an upgrade

That is a hilarious amount of price inflation... I think, anyway.

Debby's mostly blotted out the sun for about two days straight, now... might manage another one, too. *cheerful* *cheerful*

If the hexes kind of bug you, why not turn them off? I play with 4-direction movement.

I feel that it's an important part of the game. It's unique, and unique games are more fun than standard roguelikes. I'll probably go to the 4-directional, though, because the hexes are harder to use.

Not unique, technically, but certainly uncommon. There's a handful of other hex-based roguelikes, it's just not exactly a regularly utilized design decision... you can kinda' see why, heh. S'bit harder to maneuver and operate, though I guess if you swapped control scheme to hjkuinm or something freaky like that it might be easier to move around, I'unno. Don't remember if the game'd support something like that.

Actually don't remember how the hex mode worked at all, because hex based games that aren't mostly mouse controlled are something that hurts my brain... _{and mouse controlled roguelikes are something that hurts my wrist.} Changing to... ort? Oct? One of those two, anyway... was my second action after starting my first VoI game, heh.

Indeed it seems to keep crashing... And it seemed OK the last time I tried. Strange.

Sorry about that. I'll try to fix this later, but unfortunately I am quite busy now...

Hey, don't worry too much about it taking a while. We're not exactly paying customers

Take your time, yeh, just don't forget about us

Q:Things that made you sad today thread.
A: Size of this thread, loads of negativity it seems.

Well we had to put it somewhere and the drawer by the sink was full.... So....

If it makes you feel better, the happy thread is about twice this size.

And most of it's derail, not sads.

Also, it's a good three or so years old, which kinda' dilutes the overall impact of its girth. Maybe. I'unno, it's like fortysomething posts per day badly eyeballing and estimating (48k/1k, basically.) things, which I guess is kind of a downer.

Someone should do a sads per hour or something.
