Apexicon is hitting Kickstarter (again) on March 24th
---

Yeah I wasn't interested in Cogmind at first, due to the visual style, but reading through the devlog, now I'm anticipating the game

Weapon effects

It seems to be a rather standard roguelike in most parts though, which I thought you werent suuuper into? You really need to dive into classic roguelikes at one point ô.o

Make it a weekend project or something.

idk, it's just a silly personal thing. I'm just not really into old-school ascii graphics.

Even the classics dont necessarily come with Ascii only though:
http://indiestatik.com/2013/03/08/roguelike-primer/

My favourite was ADOM, where I am eagerly anticipating ADOM 2 with the graphical tilesets, but there are plenty classic Roguelikes with proper graphics. If we are talking strictly AScii, Brogue is rather nice to look at (And I mean for a Bro[Force] Player like you..) :

And haha, cute comparison:

Dungeons of Dredmor is like swimming in the shallow-end with water-wings and someone holding your hand. In normal water.

Other Roguelikes are like swimming in the deep end with sharks attacking you, while you are being shot at from the stands by a group of soldiers with large calibre weaponry. Also, you can't swim and you swimming in Chunky Vegetable Soup.

 

[Toma]

Some quick impressions because I just want to get through the list before the voting starts:

Roche Fusion: Highscore shmup with randomized enemy patterns and level upgrades. I am not a big fan of randomized enemies in shmups, but the powerups are fun. Shooting black holes at enemies simply doesnt get old. Still nowhere near the best in the genre because of the random elements and the easy way of cheesing even bullet hell-ish patterns by baiting all shots to one side and then flyting to the other. I sort of like it, but it wont get much playing time from me.

Space DM (working title): This is an alpha that actually deserves the alpha title. Unstable, crashs, horribly oversized UI elements.. I didnt actually manage to try the actual game. Not the version this should be judged on if the dev keeps improving it.

Standpoint: Portalesque Puzzle Platformer that allows you to switch gravity. The puzzles might be better and more intricate in the upcoming full version but it felt a bit cliched and .. boring, mostly due to the similar art and level design. Plenty of 3D puzzlers that seem to offer a more interesting foundation.

Super Mega Bob: Seems like a rather simple action platformer (without actually having platforms). Not much wrong with it at first glance other than it seeming a bit simple and I am sort of getting "my first video game"-kinda vibes from it. Its not really bad, just not all that interesting either.

The Everloom: Cool world to explore with random and weird NPCs and world mechanics. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself didnt amount to much more than fetch quests that sends you between the admittedly intriguing characters. Seems like a bit of a waste.

Trish: Extremely simple shmup that distinguishes itself basically only through its simplicity in design. Moving sidewards and a shoot button that might as well be on auto-active. The enemy shoot patterns vary a bit, but nothing that will stick with my memory for too long.

Trap Them - Remote Control: Very smart and refreshing idea to turn his puzzle game into a puzzle shooter. The game doesnt lose any challenge, and seems to be even a bit more focussed than before because you arent as busy preparing the level setup meticulously with your little character and can just mouse-chisel it away. Still a very smart game held back by alienating graphics.

Back to Final Fantasy X. I'll check out the rest (TesserAct, Underdusk, Walk, Whitewash, Xaxi and Yelaxot) over the rest of the weekend. If anyone wants more in-depth impressions on any of these, let me know and I'll put a focus there.

 

[mantrakid]

Just a heads up that I've got a new build of Cosmochoria up which fixes a few things, streamlines some others. If you haven't tried it out, please do! It's a 'pick up and play' ie no major commitment required -- just float around and plant some stuff / kill some stuff / unlock some stuff.

I saw that. Is that a real game? I mean, the screenshots look so fake, like low texture bear paws photoshopped in a different game. Wasn't sure if it was a scam campaign or not. But given the overall response, I should probably add it

They said the bear still need some work to walk like a real one, currently it's a bear model walking like a human.

 

[Toma]

Second to last OP impressions, TesserAct:

Another portalesque 3D puzzle platformer. This one is actually good and has some interesting ideas that revolve around water that I havent seen like this much yet (sort of like the Portal 2 fluids). This project is still currently on IndieGoGo with a very humble 500$ goal and it might not make it, which is very unfortunate: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tesseract
The game can look really pretty with the occasional weirdly low res texture and it also plays generally rather well. They didnt do themselves a favor with the pacing of the demo though. They started the demo with a series of precise 3D platforming challenges which took me a few retries because... platforming in 3D, but the ideas later on that revolved more about figuring out how to do it, instead of pulling that off actually seemed rather rewarding. The story also seems rather intriguing. I'll definitely revisit a full version.

Into the Underdusk:

I really like this one. Solemn exploration game with metroidvania style level progression. Its all very simple, but still very well designed in that you can unlock shortcuts to other level areas with the proper abilities. The game also seems quite big (will probably take 2-3 hours to finish it) and I really like the overall artstyle which has some outlandish enemies/elements to it that mystify the game. To a lesser extend, it also has some smaller moments in which you are tasked how the world exactly works, but its mostly rather familiar to anyone ever playing a platformer.

Still the exploration elements are VERY well done with some interesting levels ideas that will surprise the player. Due to the quick upgrades, it never has much downtime either and feels fresh throughout the whole experience.

Walk:

Incredibly simple "Walking simulator". The graphic artstyle and animation of the grass is generally really nice, but the whole depth of field effect is really stressing on the eyes and inconsistent, not very well integrated over all, which makes this more painful than relaxing. Since there isnt much of a game here, the only redeeming factor of graphics and relaxing exploration is kinda not well done enough. Too bad.

[PandaPedinte]

Just did a quick read through Afterimage thread on tigsource and it looks promising!

 

[Toma]

And final OP impressions:

Whitewash:

It seems a bit... weird? Its a 3D puzzle platformer (again) and looks actually quite great, but the puzzles itself at least in the beginning really arent interesting and amount to building towers of boxes with an incredibly wonky physics system and randomly pressing buttons until shit happens. It might get better later one and my first impression wasnt exactly the best one, but my game glitched out and leaves me unable to carry any more boxes and I have no sizeable motivation going through the first 30 minutes again.
From the trailers, it looks like there is an interesting game to be found here, but I am currently not in the mood to find it.

Xaxi:

Orihaus managed to make create another alien seeming world and visually, it might be his best so far. Going by the description: "A virtual memory palace of sorts, designed to teach Aliceffekt's Conlang Traumae, and examine the possibilities of learning and memory in interactive virtual environments.", it sort of seems like there is more to this world than just the visual aspect, but I couldnt figure/decypher that part of the game yet. As it stands, it still works as an incredibly cool/pretty/weird visual experience, which is what I expect from him anyway.

Yelaxot:

Competent and nice to look at 2D platformer that doesnt seem to have many issues. There is a demo to check out, and if you have an urge to play a classic platformer with some puzzles thrown it this is probably a pretty good choice at the current sale price. I have some slight issues with the jumping and movement, mainly the nonexistant momentum and that some rules of the game world dont seem to be well enforced like the "You can jump on things if they dont look spikey!", and then meeting an enemy 5 minutes later which didnt look spiky, yet I couldnt jump on it. Still, despite the smaller issues I had with it, good platformer in a HUGE world and lots of additional abilities to unlock. Its sort of similar to Underdusk but seems a bit... less focussed, which is why Underdusk gets my platforming vote even if Yelaxot is the way more expansive game and also looks prettier.

DONE!
Kinda surprised Banished still made my voting top 10, though to be honest it does deserve being on there, despite all of its flaws. Also, let me know if that voting list clogged up the thread too much. In that case, I'll just keep it to myself for the next thread and post it once when I am done with the whole thread. I sort of liked that I could give an impression where I'd rank the game compared to the others this month, but maybe others found it nonsensical

 

[Toma]

Unity is pretty neat. I watched a few tutorials and didnt really do much yet but kinda cool how you can get a basic setup working with very few programming lines:

(a character running around and spawning arrows, didnt get to moving the arrows yet).

I like the way you managed the list Toma. I don't think it clustered the thread because it was in the same posts with your opinions.

I think I know which one you mean, I'll see whether I can find it.

Also, progress with Unity!

I really should have tried it earlier, its a really handy tool. I am surprised I am getting along with it so nicely considering I never did any 3D programming so far.

Dabbled shortly with Blender to create something that sort of resembles an arrow:

My first 3D model, so it looks expectedly... simple, but hey. Good to know I can create 3D assets myself and integrate them.

Fragments of Him - Free (PC, Browser)

I think it may be my favourite Ludum Dare game I tried this time. It's about how we deal with a loss of someone dear to us, how we deal with grief and despair by removing all the things from our lives that might remind us of that person. It's a great concept, that I hope, will be continued in the future.

If I wanted to learn 3D programming, what would be the good approach?

I'd like to start doing specific 3D development, individual projects, like realistic snow (like in that Disney snow video), real-time GI, PBR materials, etc. It's complex stuff but of course I'd start with the basics.

edit: found a programming thread, will ask there http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=105491210#post105491210

You probably should ask that in the Indie Programming thread as most here are not programming experts, but from what I see with Unity, its really handy to dip your fingers into 3D programming, but I assume if you want to work on complex structures something more powerful with less overhead would be more useful. Just out of curiosity, if you are getting an answer to that in the Programming thread, let me know please.

I'll write up some more thoughts when I finish it. But in short, it is pretty similar to the original game. There are a lot of new tools/puzzle types but I don't think they add an awful lot.

So short version is, a much more polished version of the original. I loved that, but I don't necessarily think it'll convert you.

But gist of it is a must get if you loved the first game but it's not massively different.

 

[Kamaki]

So I got around to playing some of the games that I bought from the list in the OP.

Card City Nights is super rad; tons of content for how much you pay but just like Ittle Dew I'm just not a huge fan of the aesthetics, doesn't stop it from being a great game though. nice break from something like Magic.

Tried out Cloudbase Prime and I don't really feel like there's a lot there yet. I like the idea of moving platforms around though maybe if there were hexes that could move horizontally? I imagine there are some cool puzzle opportunity there. Do feel powerful shifting whole areas though!

I really liked the idea behind Trish, though things just felt a bit random. I'm not an incredible SHMUP player or anything but I always feel like half the game is working out what the bullet patterns are and stuff and after the first half it becomes impossible for me to predict where to be. Really love the idea though, so much so that I started making my own based on it.

A lot of really quality stuff is free this month so I'm going to try a bunch of things out. Will probably end up buying Glitchspace and Drunken Robot Pornopgrahy too, super cool ideas in both.

I played Lennas Inception past night and for me it felt like a Zelda clone with some different mechanics, but from your posts you sounds like you enjoyed it, so I'll play it a bit more before forming my opinion.

It is a classic Zelda clone with some different mechanics, which is exactly what I enjoyed about it. It might just be me, but I like the idea of making these randomized version for more classic games, say a randomized Pokemon-like game, or a fully randomized RPG in the vein of FF1-2. Lennas Inception is that, just for Zelda. I got the impression that the dev didnt quite go far enough for my taste and that I'd love more different stuff included, but the overall progression is already pretty well done.

I also need to get back to Black Ice and see whether it was just my initial 60 minute impressions, but I really liked it. Seems like others didnt enjoy it as much though.

Hm? Its depending on the publicity games get & people voting for it. Getting ON greenlight however is just a matter of paying the 100$ for the listing (or whatever the amout is).

Or maybe I misunderstood your question.

Just as Toma said. If they pay $100 they can list it on greenlight for votes. If enough people jokingly / ironically / or even sincerely vote yes for this, then it will appear on greenlight. I've been really frustrated with stuff like this because it seems when it's done deliberately bad, it actually stands a chance at being greenlit simply due to the fact that people jokingly vote 'yes'.

Call me jaded.

I want to buy Escape Goat 2 but I'm waiting for that 20% coupon to get fixed.

Feels good to have the games played before the voting I'll try working on the Cubesis video tonight.
