From someone who has never played
« on: September 13, 2013, 01:01:58 pm »
Selfless disclaimer: If you are looking for someone who is not afraid to rip apart rougelikes as a tester, I just found my weekend is available.


I've only played one rouge like, and I played it in part because I found the "end game" to be fairly predictable, even if the rest of the game was not. It allowed to know as I gained experience with a degree of understanding if I could win or if I should restart.

So for this game, I hope the end game has a degree of stability to it, otherwise I'll have yet another roll of RNG in trying to play the game. Which is yet another layer of...whatever, you rougelikes players I suppose find joy in such a thought.

Well, erm, I suppose I'm saying if you aim to throw a bone to the non-rougelike players, try to make the endgame not as chaotic as the rest of the game, or at least provide an option for./
Life is short. Have fun.

I think you'll be pleased here: the endgame is something fairly fixed from before you get to the end, and you can even directly affect it based on your earlier actions.

I'll make sure Josh knows you're interested in the alpha; we're going to be starting our third and final round later tonight.

Thanks!

This sounds hopeful.   :)
