Did a 9 rune speedrun mode to check out what was new since I last played. One thing that I might suggest is adding a way to restore rot for Vine Stalker. VS is obviously very strong so maybe this isn't needed from a balance point of view, but from a perceptual player fairness point of view it was a ...

So, it turns out that I can't compile anything newer than Hellcrawl 5.4 locally when passing PCH=y with make. (The commit causing the problem is somewhere between 5.4 and 5.5, anyway, I didn't track down exactly where the problem started.) Running make without PCH=y is fine, but this stumped me for ...

I should probably also mention explicitly that your character really isn't that bad and the stuff posted above are just strategic quibbles about how to build that background in a way that results in staying ahead of the power curve. I only posted about strategy because your link was to a dump, not a...

So, about your skilling: For a spiderform > blade hands rush , your skilling up to about XL 10 was okay-ish. You were missing Fighting and Dodging in exchange for quite a lot of early Tmut, but if you knew what you were doing that is a choice that could be made, although an experienced player genera...

gold acquirement is pretty obviously predicated upon there being a potion or scroll shop somewhere that you haven't emptied yet

Jewellery because I'd be able to make use of MR, dex, str, ev, ac, a single resist pip, spirit shield, or faith

But really the way the question is structured it would have to be some kind of weird read-id situation early enough in the game that I'd probably go for a weapon or gold and call it a day

To be fair, after going through the game taking notes through screenshots, I would have rather done it manually With no text recognition parsing the relevant stuff out of your screenshots, it quickly becomes a chore scrolling through a bunch of similar-looking thumbnails trying to find the thing you...

if you didn't like the boss fights than Godmaster has nothing for you. If you wished that there was a way you could fight Nightmare King Grimm except he was twice as fast and every hit did four masks of damage than I've got great news!! e: actually, you should probably check it out just for the bat...

Here's a different perspective: You would do well to get your head out of your ass and realize that there's a subset of skilled Crawl players who realized years and years ago that the game is piss-easy if you use all available tools to win. These players have, in the intervening time, tended to do t...

I liked how circus animals fork implemented "no rest to heal", it just healed you instantly if there were no monsters 9-13 (not sure about specific number) tiles away. Healing by exploring would kill DCSS for me because it would kill autoexplore. Yeah, minification of floor layouts is a r...

Also, since I've posted here, here's how you make mainline Crawl interesting again: 1) Get rid of upstairs. 2) Get rid of hunger. 3) Get rid of rest-to-heal. 4) Get rid of luring. Numerous approaches have been discussed here and I still think the one with the most promise is reveal-black-to-heal wit...

Be careful with those sequell queries, I'm pretty sure that the player in question intentionally threw MuMo games for about a year before winning. The given reasoning at the time was that they they wanted to foster competition in the originating thread where the challenge came from, instead of just ...

I am really torn on reinstalling Hollow Knight to check out the expansions' content On the one hand, the game was amazing, but on the other hand, I did steel soul at release and replaying a metroidvania without the exploring part just doesn't do it for me @ tasonir : 5 bucks for the remake sounds li...

Listen, buddy, I have a 100% lifetime DgTm winrate and I'll have you know that if those games were DgWn the winrate would be even higher.

As mentioned above, it looks like the Griffin bug was fixed with 1.2.2.2

Also that Cerberus sprite really bothered me

edit: Fucking Garm. Definitely a good time to stop playing for a bit.

I really dislike the gameplay around key fairies

I mean, it's La-Mulana and you knew going into it to expect this, but it's still like the dev took one look at trying to minimize backtracking and decided that not only did he want zero part of that, but also fuck you

Okay, I kind of liked the Dark Lord's footprints bit. Now if only I could figure out how to trigger Ammit and get that rock out of the way without using grail shenanigans, I'm not keen on breaking sequence and fucking up triggers any further than I already have e: make that five, aten-ra was a p...

that feeling when you were taking screenshots the whole game, but apparently forgot one and have to go back and search for the thing you missed anyway

knowing that you're way farther than me and i haven't met "griffin" yet i get the feeling from how this game usually goes that you're probably missing the sword of an obscure malaysian deity that will stop him from respawning and unlock his chest. Yeah that's what I thought at first too, ...

Welp, Griffin seems bugged and keeps respawning / doesn't unlock its chest.

Time to go play monster hunter world until the game gets patched I guess

fuck

Anyway it's a pretty fun sequel, the trap placement in some of these areas is hilariously sadistic

The commit log in your github link makes it look like you've removed branches without adjusting experience gain. This is likely to cause a large jump in apparent difficulty around D:11, and again at Depths. Do you plan to adjust experience at all in your fork? Congratulations on sitting down to make...

Don't click this if you don't want to see La-Mulana 2 puzzle spoilers Seriously, don't 20+ hours in with 256 HP, the Feather, and 5 mantras before getting the Djed Pillar. Apparently Mulbruk's message unlocking the hanging sub-boss and Kujata only gets sent when you're standing in the Annwfn...

Berder wrote:A percentage increase in turns to live is just as valuable as the same percentage increase in your attack damage.

No, it's not.

Lack of attention resulting from induced boredom of repeat low-impact keypresses is an important factor in DCSS survivability. Humans are piloting these characters.

just so long as the banner art is vaguely evocative of a phallus

Looks like 15% off on steam if you own the remake there, too, but maybe this doesn't matter 'cause you want to support the dev.

Neat. Its release date on steam is still listed as summer 2018, so we'll see. Some info about year, genre, and why it was that good? You know, for the uninitiated. You could just go play it. The original was freeware, if you can still find somewhere to download it. The remake was good too. in style ...

I really wish that this had existed back when I was learning Crawl.

Please please please integrate this into the DCSS distributions and keep it maintained.

Maybe you're not already doing this intentionally for the reasons mentioned, but you're already using SDL2's input handling for tiles builds and it at least claims to have cross-platform support including OSX and Linux. Is SDL2 unable to handle the environmental differences in keyboard scancodes men...

I just tested the function in Wizard Mode and the repetition only stops when taking damage. Oh, that's less suicidal than I thought. Good to know! I tested it against a rat, which was missing enough to not trigger AI_HP_LOSS. (Also, AI_MONSTER_ATTACKS might not be working as intended? It doesn't se...

Another macro, which I don't know if it is better or worse, I just took it a long time ago from ElanMorin's rc. -- Global variables for storing channeling information. channel_switched_weapon = false pre_channel_slot = nil -- Custom function for equipping a staff of energy and channeling until -- f...

So perhaps near impossible is too extreme, but it's definitely very difficult. I wasn't referring to the torment aspect so much as the taking damage when you kill them. I wonder how many of those games listed utilized necromutation, which. I forgot to leave off the list. Necromutation isn't exactly...

To me, this part sounds strictly worse than Human. I'll leave further arguments to someone else.

Being able to pick up and use whatever you find, without bonuses or penalties pushing you one way or another is what roguelikes, on some level, are supposed to be about. Stone Soup needs a species like that. Have you played a Gnoll? A few wins when they were still named Cynocephalus, and a couple m...

Counterpoint: Humans are fun. Being able to pick up and use whatever you find, without bonuses or penalties pushing you one way or another is what roguelikes, on some level, are supposed to be about. Stone Soup needs a species like that. I'd sooner see every single other species that's primarily def...

I still think it's really neat how many of those half-assed design ideas you've managed to implement, even though I hardly find the time for Crawl anymore.

Just assume that I'm throwing invisible thanks at every Hellcrawl update post forever, please.

I wouldn't count on anything happening to Mu anytime soon -- they're intended as Stone Soup's hard difficulty setting, and a perennial favorite of players who've decided that the game is too easy. Re: That other thread: It's an interesting read on how current players view the differences between spe...

cool story bro

I acknowledge and appreciate the point that my above post could have been phrased better, but I fully stand by everything said there about Felid, including the assertion that they're nearly impossible to lose. (For clarity, I probably should have appended 'by experienced players playing to win*'.) *...

edit: oh yeah, the automagic bug should be fixed as well - please let me know if you run into any other bugs or weirdness. Your automagic.lua workaround for 0-MP automagic casting doesn't fix the plethora of other minor bugs that crop up because of the way you're implementing the FD spell cost redu...

Welcome to the abyss, friend

Tab (automagic) not working properly at zero MP with your -MP mutation also means there are going to be other problems with spell_mana(), [if I'm parsing the code correctly, I think your current implementation won't work properly with mouseclick-casting on local tiles?], you might want to implement ...

The thing about Fe is that they're practically impossible to lose with while simultaneously ensuring your game will be won slowly . They have free lives, reduced movedelay, a size bonus to EV, claws, and bonus stealth -- all of which are powerful, some extremely so. Unfortunately, it turns out that ...

Necroing this thread to post about Celeste. I just picked it up, it's a *really* good precision platformer, and I know some of you have similar genre preferences. I'm a couple of months late to the party with this title, but it flows and plays more smoothly than The End Is Nigh -- I haven't played a...

I would also suggest that ghosts be made somewhat difficult than the average unique for that level, so that there's no temptation to kill them for XP etc. (since many uniques are not strictly worth killing on a pure XP basis). If people still want to kill ghosts for fun or flavor, let them. Dude, N...

Since nobody has answered your question about Armour and Dodging yet: You'll generally get more mileage out of Fighting, than Armour or Dodging on a Centaur. You'll likely end up in heavy armour on a lot of Ce's because they have huge Strength, and Ce also have a size penalty to EV, and you get bonu...

crawl.process_keys() doesn't seem to tell the game to end the turn so I am probably missing a single instruction to pass on to the next turn but I can't seem to find it. I tried searching in l-crawl.cc but with no result. Otherwise it should work. There's a clua hook in the input handler that you c...

Thanks for tracking this down, with this information I was able to come up with a fix . For now on the 0.21.1 release version the workaround is to just not use that setting, sorry. https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL-Refpages/es2.0/xhtml/glTexParameter.xml GL_LINEAR Returns the weighted average...
