/rlg/ - Roguelike General

RIP swiftfly
This is the saddest thing I have ever seen.
Awwww it's cute.

Is this THE crazy yiuf?

is cogmind finally good?

I know it'll take a bit to accustom yourself but this isn't /b/, you don't need to post attention grabbing images to get replies.

thinking in terms of good or bad is still being stuck in duality
ask yourself, it is dialectical?

Cogmind's always been decent, it's just not anywhere near decent enough to justify the cost. I can upload a copy to mega if you want to try it.

Do you also have Vanilla Bagel™?

Good dragon loot.

What a noble sacrifice

What kind of classmanguy are you playing, user?

The crossbow alone does more damage than my acid ball.

>has more HP than SP
Obviously not one that's any good

>female
stop being so lewd

>of extra shots
That /has/ to be a balancecrime.

How so? Only thing I've seen so far that I think is BS is the permanent radiation tiles from special zambies
The huge hordes and monster variations are pretty great imo, does make the game a bit slower to start though

You could've been a fox, little hare.

>IVAN is back after 9 years
So did they expand the content?

I tried it, it's nice and balanced and there's a new dungeon with a new win condition, but it's still pretty short and the replay value is really low.

It's good, but I wish they just fixed the bugs in CLIVAN and kept the bloat.

>simply examining a potion of enlightenment gives you telepathy as an alchemist
I'm almost sure it's a bug, but I want it as a feature.

Oh hey neat they added even more stuff now

I gotta compile this

this is extremely nethacky

you can upload it, i'd love it

>github says

>cmake .
>make -j
>make install

So I guess I just download the source, get in there and type those things

but apparently not

Why do roguelike developers never give enough information about compiling their own goddamn games

I am going to play a band for the first time, Should I play the standard Angband or is there some other Band that everyone is playing at the moment?

yeah fuck it I have no idea how to install libsdl2.0 if I have already installed it

dick hunters

For someone who's never played IVAN before - updated Vanilla or CLIVAN?

Sure, here it is. mega.nz/#!bMlSCYTD!nQDL2DLIszk1h9fS3ARUk2BZolsWufGdLTzIQJ9lepM

updated vanilla. CLIVAN is just old IVAN with some mismatched patchwork to stop the big exploits but still really exploity.

The favored *band of /rlg/ is PCB.

Standard/vanilla Angband is still a good game, though. Play 4.0.5 or the nightlies.

>PCB.
what does PCB add to Angband?

I *think* I figured out how to install SDL2. Code's still compiling and I'm pretty sure one dependency was redundant.

There's a 2000 character limit per post, he couldn't write that all down.

that was joke
you see it's funny because he asked the thread to name his band
my post would've gotten countless (You)'s in a more intelligent thread

>There's a 2000 character limit per post, he couldn't write that all down.
Okay, wasn't clear. Was just thinking in general, like "It changes everything" to "more classes/races" to "adds a theme of ____ "

it uses angband's core mechanics and some of the monsters, but it's completely different in terms of content.

PCB is a descendant of a number of variants that were intended to be "everything and also the kitchen sink." There's more of every type of content (classes, damage types, items, dungeons, etc). The game text is not always as serious as Vanilla ("Wormtongue, Agent of Sauron moons you!") and generally a lot more insanity exists. A lot more things have a random factor, e.g. exactly when you get your turn, exactly how much your "30%" resistance will actually resist this attack, 1/666 chance for Smeagol to drop The One Ring, that sort of thing.

Sil is a variant that goes in the opposite direction from vanilla. It's strictly first age Tolkein and is a lot more streamlined in terms of fewer types of monsters/items/etc.

Vanilla is more even-keeled but once I played it for a while I got bored.

Oh come on
what's wrong with you now you piece of crap you were working before
make that stupid folder

First online ascension!

underhound.eu:81/crawl/morgue/Keye/morgue-Keye-20170505-175849.txt

maybe you need to run it as an administrator for it to be able to make the file

Good idea!
It worked now.

Lots and lots is changed, but it still feels like a *band.

Tons of additional races and classes; various quests instead of just killing Sauron and Morgoth; a handful of different dungeons instead of just Angband; different skill mechanics; and some other things. If Angband is almost entirely a Tolkien-inspired game, then Poschengband is influenced by a wide variety of genres.

If you've never played *band, it's hard to appreciate what PCB has to offer. Playing vanilla Angband and getting truly acquainted with it will help you understand how PCB's features are more than just bloat.

>Vanilla ("Wormtongue, Agent of Sauron moons you!")
Wormtongue and some others do these silly things in vanilla Angband, too.

Aha!
Now to enable wizmode

What does the 1 ring give to you?

LOOK AT THIS SHIT
IT'S NEW

LOOK HOW THEY REVAMPED THE DUNGEON

IT'S GOT THINGS AND STUFF

now i am become ff, the destroyer of vaults

Also you can't steal vodka with no repercussions and sell it to the shop anymore, which is super cool

a lot, but the most important is probably immunity to the 4 base (as opposed to high) elements, 5 to every stat and speed, and 5 extra dice on the ring hand's weapon

extra shots is nerfed hard in 6.0.0

Alright this is kinda neat.
Even though it's an axe and thus it's horrible

Fucking Chris was tainted by the devil's team, I feel it.

Alright, there is literally nothing in the tomb
the reward is the axe I guess

But axes are shit in IVAN and valpurium weapons make everything around you become increasingly horrible so that's a really stupid thing to add as vault loot

does staff of earth evo damage bonus stack with statue form or is it like elec where less blows mean less damage

nevermind i died

All in all the new IVAN updates are mostly cute fluff changes, but nothing substantial.

the statform x1.5 multiplier happens before any additive brands are applied, so it will make elemental staves or weapons of elec/pain worse

brands like freezing are based on the damage done by your weapon, though, so when staform increases that it also increases the brand damage

i think statue form should increase launcher damage too, because you're reloading using your stone muscles

Good, fun should be outlawed.

fun is just a subjective adjective anyway

Congrats user. One step closer to an official goodplayer.

i feel guilty over how bad i made this thread

Literally all you had to do was play roguelikes.

You forgot the embeds

What're we splattin' today, /rlg/?

im gonna follow in that other user's footsteps and splat some sorcerers

maybe if i get tired of pcbsorc i'll switch to tome2sorc too

you're waifu is an angle

dont say such hurtful things

>splatting your waifu
l-lewd!

it's called a character dump because you're waifu is A SHIT

nooooo stop

A SHIIIIIIIT

>picking way through pcb wilderness along edge of mountains without levitation, sometimes resorting to telespam to progress
>expectedly but unexpectedly one of the Windlords shows up while I'm trapped in a tiny spot
caught between a roc and a hard place

but then so is literally everything with a coward like you

friendly reminder that philosophy is NOT a rougelike, despite its similarity in being primarily practiced by elitist neckbeards who cant/wont get real jobs

is it time for your pretend trolling no argument shit flinging again
do you realize how much of an affront your existence is to everything that is dialectical and productive

>tfw you find the Bloatconomicon before extended

...

Cute!

Alright, that's pretty clever.

Anyone play the Majalis roguelike yet?

do not sexualize the roguelike

>google majalis roguelike
>find this
rly makes u think

is that a futa mare donger being censored

birds are not horses retard

look at that cute little trans booty

questionable

it obviously has to be picrelated

woah jeez
what is this
that's just a giant human dick isn't it
how quaint

Birdhorses?

No bully!

that thing belongs on a narwhal

Very cool - should I play angband to appreciate PCB? or just go all in to PCB?

You can't even really win in CLIVAN
