/arcade/ - vidya gaems and other gaems too

Small update, added a new enemy type and added damage on hitting walls and objects at speed

i love how proud he looks after that amazing streak

In combat you can now select a movement and/or an action, select targets, and then execute your turn along with the actions the opponents select.
The framework is in place, I can create proper actions easily now and start to work on the more specific combat mechanics that will make or break this project.
Also the camera has been tweeked to be smooth, and the menu was redone to be more flexible and dynamic and work with actual graphics… which have not been made yet. With that and these placeholder attacks, the game isnt looking so good right now.
I wanted to wait to give an update until I had done some graphics, but something came up and development will likely be on hiatus until July, so I'm sharing where it's at now!

>>2428
Thank you roll!

>>2470
Doing great work!
The death effect on the flamingo is so satisfying! Dont make me feel good for killing something so cute!

is it true that turn based games are harder to do (at least with unity)?
i haven't really made game before except fooling around in game maker. but I've written lots of little programs and apps and stuff before for work and college. my plan was to make tic tac toe and then checkers and then chess and then finally the old SNES game i wanted to clone/build on.

will everything be okay??

>>2496
I dont know about unity, but I dont see why it'd be harder. I'm sure you can make tic tac toe without much trouble! Then checkers and chess should just be more checks and restrictions, you should go for it!
What SNES game are you interested in?

>>2391
Just need to get this DeLorean up to 88 mph and we'll be ready to join!

>>2393
oh. i'll take that as a no then

if i hosted a realm
would there be any interest…?

>>2398
I'd play. Though to be honest, I'm not terribly interesting in vanilla minecraft. But I do have a modded SMP, if anyone wants to play.

>>2399
still have the modded SMP? also what mods do u have sushi,….

>>1304
Do fan-mod updates count?

I will refuse to second a link to the past, but i do heartily second link's awakening, it's just about perfect in everything it wants to accomplish, and then follow with either ages if you love the puzzles or seasons if you love the combat.
for snes games, do you like puzzles? sutte hakkun is one of my favorites on both snes and gameboy, mario's picross too. but it has a whole bunch of other games worth trying like, and i'm not kidding, super noah's ark 3d. not even making that up it actually has its own level design that feels distinct from doom.
for gameboy i'm the only person on earth who enjoys metroid 2 so i'll just stick to recommending trip world, tetris plus or the wario land series. super mario land 2 is pretty alright if a bit short. Shantae is also a pretty fun platformer. And some of the weird titles might even surprise you, like Terrifying 9/11 which is a surprisingly competent bootleg metal slug port.
cant say much about the nes besides the obvious suspects like the 5 mario games and their endless spinoffs. tetris 2 + bombliss is good fun, feels great and will be a good time. if you like RPGs check out Lagrange Point, you won't hear any other nes game with a soundtrack as good as it, and there's dragon quest too.
i could probably go on for a good while for sega consoles and other stuff but these alone will keep you busy for a good while. but ill just slide in both jet set radio and jet set radio future. those games are all time favorites of mine.

I've made it my life's mission to tell everyone about Crimson Skies. When I was a kid, this game was my everything. I wanted so badly to live in this world. Yes, there are better flight sims (I mean it's not really a flight sim considering how unrealistic everything is) out there but my nostalgia for this one beats all the rest. Also inb4 this game looks like shit yeah I know it came out in 2000 and runs horrendously on modern devices I know.

I'm playing Morrowind now. It's fun, reminds me of Gothic.

>>947
I used to play shadow of the colossus on a used PS2 I bought at a flea market when younger, I think it actually was my first console, I spent hours playing on it

My go-to has been Infra Arcana for a some years now, though ashamed to admit I've still not managed a single win… Not really sure how I feel about the warded doors and mirrors added in the last updates, but interesting to see it change. When I started playing the whole level was always in view, disliked the change from that at first too.

Found Into Ruins (on itch.io) the other day, simple and neat but quite fun. Tank controls and hexbased movement rather than the standard fare, and manages to make do with only arrow keys + 2 buttons. No classes, just gear and artifacts. No stairs to find, just jump down any hole you want. Would have spent so much time on this growing up if it had been on the GBA or something. Only critique I have is that some items are very hard to spot on some tiles, like a green cloak on grass.

I've been playing Zorbus, it's pretty fun and reminds me of a simpler DCSS. I only managed to make to the 4th floor so far but the levels are really big which is cool. One thing I don't like is that it feels like I get carried by any allies I recruit and then when they inevitably die from overextending into a pack of enemies I'm left comparatively helpless until I find more.

Are roguelites allowed here? I don't think I ever played a roguelike, but I love roguelites.

>>2475
I don't see why not
I've been playing Slay the Spire again lately since there's apparently a new one coming out. I'm stuck on ascension 14 as Ironclad

>>2299
I've never been too into summoner classes in roguelikes in general, but you're right that ToME is much more fun to play as a melee/mage character. You're a lot more in control of combat and can pace yourself better. Unlocking game content through ingame lore and gameplay is fun until you get a class-unlocking achievement that doesn't actually trigger the class unlock but the game registers the achievement regardless, unlocking it indefinitely while at the same time keeping the class locked forever. It's also not as fun when you keep having to restart the game because of many different ways the game has of bullshitting you. It becomes very repetitive very quickly and I'm so saturated with it that the past few times I booted the game I remembered the melody of the first area, got exhausted thinking about what I had to do next and closed the game window. It's a nice game, don't get me wrong, but do NOT spend a full week obsessively trying to beat the game or you'll end up like me. I probably need six more months away from it.

>>2392
Yeah I like some of the properties too, I just wish Magic could be its own thing. Maybe that's selfish of me but that's the version of it I grew up with and like the most

>>2396
i can get behind this. maybe if they were normally priced commander-only secret lair drops?

also, can i have some advice on my miku deck? https://moxfield.com/decks/mWEOlav1REKFcC0O7RxsPQ

i need some alternatives to the expensive cards…

There's a guy I like who also makes some nice youtube videos about WIXOSS.
He recently had a lot of trouble with PSA (the company everyone uses to get nice cards graded) and swore off them, and then tried out two other companies (TAG and BGS) with less than stellar experiences.
(Here's the video if you're curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=875OiwR1vc8)

Has sushi ever gotten a card graded? Or just framed/displayed them in general?

>>2488
I have been getting into card collecting a bit lately. It satisfies an itch I had forgotten about a long time ago. I sent some off to get graded, but I haven't gotten them back just yet. There is something pretty satisfying about holding a valuable card in your own hands, like a nerdy gemstone.

>>2392
>doctor who good
>lotr bad

you dumb cunt. magic the gathering is in the direct lineage of lotr. it's literally a card game inspired by a tabletop game inspired by lord of the fucking rings you dumb cunt lmao

meanwhile doctor who has literally nothing in common with the franchise.

i really liked Ace 7, played through it a bunch of times. not as many times as AC0 though, that's still my favorite.

>>2419
there are a few ace combat-adjacent games that you can play, Project Wingman in particular, but also Project Nimbus, Raiders Sphere 4th, these sorts of things. they can be fun and scratch the itch.

>>2421
War Thunder….

but also IL-2 Sturmovik!

>>2429
Project Wingman is fun, i go pew pew and shoot down baddies. i think I only played through it a couple times though, it didn't capture me like some of the AC games. I haven't played the PW DLC yet, that was just released in December last year. Maybe if I pick up the DLC that would be a good time to play through it again.


wwww i love you sushi bye bye!!

>>2433
Sturmovik looks good. Warthunder isn't simulator enough for me.

>>2434
but war thunder has simulator mode!

>>2433
I know what you mean. I always love going back and playing through the ps2 trilogy, before I knew it even Ace difficulty was very doable. I somehow unlocked the secret plane in either 5 or 0 (been too long to remember, but the one with the full 360 computer screen cockpit) without actually knowing what I was doing either.
I really should give electrosphere a proper go, I think I was intimidated by it at first and then just never got around to it, but I hear a lot of love.

I've only played the first two AC games. I thought the first was a perfectly serviceable arcade game that was fun for one playthrough but that's it. I was not expecting to enjoy 2 as much as I did, I loved it. So much fun, and such a fantastic soundtrack. I definitely gotta get off my ass and play the rest of the series one of these days.

>>2469
>post game content is a little daunting and boring
It feels like every open world game is like this.

>>2477
The only open world game that wasn't as bad is Saints Row 3 cause it is a very hand holding type of game.

>>2468
I only really play Vic2, Hoi3, stuff like Sins of a Solar Empire, and old school Total War. I think War on the Sea would have been a great startegy game if it wasn't for its trashy UI and lack of polish. It just seems that, wherever you look, genre games are more and more diluted to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I also really hate the culture that's built up around paradox games. The obsession with militeria and pop history mixed with politics. Its all very trashy.

I recently beat Dissidia 012. I adore this game, it greatly exceeded my expectations: I like watching fighting games, but most of the time i get frustrated trying to actually play them because the execution filters me. But something about this game just clicked with me. The story mode doesn't exactly ease you into it, but learning the mechanics as i went along was part of the fun for me. Mastering the movement and spacing for each character, playing strategically around my opponents moveset, watching old videos of competitive matches to learn about builds and combos and strategy, i've never had so much fun with a game like this. The story itself was very charming, all of the usual Final Fantasy tropes were there and the characters all had great stories and interactions with one another.

My least favorite part of the game was the rpg element. I think unlocking abilities as you level up each character is poor design for a fighting game: grinding at low level feels counter-productive because once you level up, you'll just have to unlearn all the habits you developed from playing with a limited toolset. Some characters dont even unlock the moves that their whole gameplan revolves around until very high level. Luckily it's easy to just download a completed save file if you want to skip grinding and get right to the fighting game part.

Even though i'm done with the story i don't want to put this game down any time soon. I guess the next step is playing online, which i haven't had the courage to do yet. Wish me luck sushi

i played morrowind for the first time. it was really good! i think the main quest becomes kind of irritating around the time you have to become hortator of the three houses but otherwise its great. i cant wait to play it again with another character and explore the parts of the world i didnt this time around, and especially check out tamriel rebuilt. i did a joke fanart.

>>2484
good luck sushi roll! i really want to play this sometime too.

>>2334
Glad you like it.

Went to my college's Smash local as a spectator, got cocky and fought some Bowser player way out of my league for a few matches. Didn't say anything big, just thanked him for playing against a massive scrub. It reminded me that I love WATCHING and analyzing games but I don't have any mechanical skill of my own.

>>2338
Play more games then.

New Capcom (retro) Collection is out.

Let's fight like gentlemen…

i have an old psp that i bought refurbished from amazon and modded it. also, i have an 3ds that is modded and i saw a guy program a mastodon client for the 3ds which was pretty neat

>>2071
how do you deal with the input lag and audio desyncing? or is your wi-fi that good?

I have one that I modded a few years ago before the Vita came to basically mod themselves. I don't play it often and when I do i just use Adrenaline and play some PSP games. I should seize more moment to play it when I am out of the house.

>>1257
how do you take screenshots on the vita?

>>2450
You just learn to put up with it. Doesn't bother me much, probably because I don't play anything online.
