Thread 714879516

Ever wanted to play Daggerfall, but if it went ALL IN on the fully proc-gen world, imsim gameplay, and with shitty indie lowpoly PS1 graphics?

Well I just made the game for you, out now on Early Access:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3646460/Devil_Spire_Falls/

I swear I'm not gonna go "crazy" and/or die in some freak "accident" any time soon, so I will get this done and keep it updated weekly. No Notch-like vacations either!

Sorry for shilling. So have some keys on the house! For my fellow redditors that beat me straight throughout the years (over a decade, fuck) while I learned how to actually make good games (WIP).

You may now AMA and call me a slur

based honest shill anon
i will not play your game because i didn't like daggerfall but have a bump anyway

>>714879516 (OP)
Interesting. How long have you worked in this? Solo?

Where is the playable argonian?

Damn, I actually bought this shit this morning.
I'm too busy with another RPG right now, but I'll squeeze it inbetween that one and BG3. Loved the demo version a lot during the Next Fest.

I've been betrayed before...

>>714879516 (OP)
based anon.

>big yellow level up text
Make something cooler. Maybe an animation or something.
>dithered fire effects on torches
Very cool devanon.
>combat
Looks ok from the snippets on the trailer videa, how would you describe it in comparison and deviance from other games?

Anyway, did you use the same sound library as Morrowind with spells? I was fresh off Vvanderfell and I had to do a double take when I heard the casting sound.

>>714879516 (OP)
>8GB VRAM minimum
what

>>714879597
Appreciate it anyways.

>>714879672
2 years. Solo dev except I made a Music Program to pay several artists to make the soundtrack.

>>714879870
Reptilians. Weirder but more humanoid. The Felines are just Khajiits.

>>714879909
>>714880292
Thanks!

>>714880021
just trust me bro

>>714880570
I can work on it.

And the combat is King's Field, but enemies can block, dodge and kick. And you too. So it's all about methodically getting an upper hand in Stamina, damage and stuns by using the correct option based on their actions, stance, equips and stats. I'd say it's 50% skillz and 50% strat.

>>714881848
It was just a coincidence I swear!!

>>714882078
Dynamic, 3D open worlds are crazy man

>>714879516 (OP)
Thanks for the code anon, I played your demo during the Next Fest and thought it was cool

>daggerfall
>imsim gameplay
Nani?

>>714883929
>Reptilians. Weirder but more humanoid. The Felines are just Khajiits
Post it

>ugly minecraft graphics instead of beautiful sprites like daggerfall
No thanks

I couldn't get into Devil Spire 1 because it felt just way too primitive for me. How is this game better?

>>714886164
Sweet, enjoy!

>>714886286
Everything is interconnected and stat based. Like, you can gather Apples from a tree before cutting it down with your sword, then burn one of the logs to feed a bonfire which you can use to boil dirty water you collected with an empty bottle from a potion you drank, then combine that clean water with your apple that has rotten after some days and make cider which an NPC asked of you in a quest. More imsim like is how you have several different ways to deal with locked doors: simply lockpick them, kick them down as a Strength test, burn them with magic or torches, or simply tear them down with an axe, or more crazily use your Building skills to simply move it out of the way.

Not really an imsim, because there isn't a handcrafted small map, but very imsim coded in its mechanics.

>>714886482
Look at those FEET

>>714886764
It's fully 3D and open world, and much more technologically advanced. It's a different game but is definitely a step up from the first.

can you have sex in this game

>>714886607
at least it's not all cubes but then not really sometimes

>>714887380
when mod tools drop right at the end. then the modder known as "not-me mr, ESRB" will pull up some serious loverslab shit

i enjoyed the first devil spire, glad to see you're still around. i will czech it out.

its lowpoly sure but it ain't ps1 graphics
make some sexy female chars and i'll buy

>>714887313
Hard to see the face

I probably won't play the game because it doesn't have necromancy, but I appreciate the "faLLs" thing in the logo because I'm into graphic design and those number-letters in game names like "THI4F" usually look bad but this one doesn't.

>>714879516 (OP)
>mc0xiv8hrxianly
cheers lad, i'm gonna play it tonight. if i dont like it i will rip you a new one

>>714879516 (OP)
>Ever wanted to play Daggerfall, but if it went ALL IN on the fully proc-gen world,
No. The proc-gen is the worst part about Daggerfall and the reason Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim are all WAY better.

>Bro! You know how DOG SHIT Level Scaling is right? Imagine if that was the ENTIRE GAME!

>>714888378
I like it anon

>>714879516 (OP)
add 14 meter tall mechs

>>714879516 (OP)
I'll keep an eye on this, I guess

>>714879516 (OP)
>honest shill talking about his game
hey alright
I don't buy early access but I'll put it on the wishlist

>NWLKZ-P37PP-5G3VR
The first dungeon I entered had a number of beds corresponding to the amount of human inhabitats which is pretty neat.
When I stumbled on the boss bandit I escaped, drank some potions and entered back soon.
I was dissapointed because the enemy disappeared so I could loot the main treasure unopposed.
Actually she was waiting for me on the outside. She got a good stab on me but she got blasted with firebolts anyway. Magic for the win.

>>714879516 (OP)
Did you bother moving dropped items' state and position to the save system?
If I drop something will it be gone if I go too far away or wait some time?

>>714887775
Thanks eurobro

>>714888001
Yeah, it's more like retro 3D PC graphics, sorta like Morrowind but way more cubist.

And all characters can be stripped of all their clothing and show their pyramid tits (no dicks tho cuz ESRB)

>>714888024
Kinda catdog-like

>>714888027
Thanks! And necromancy will be in soon!! We already have Summon spell effects, so all we need is skeletons, zombies and corpse decay in the next updates.

>>714888167
Please do. Enjoy.

>>714879516 (OP)
You made the OG devil spire too? I love that game!

>>714888378
my level scaling is way less retarded because it's region based, so you can actually sprint to later areas and find enemies stronger than you and vice-versa.

>>714889010
On it! There's already a framework for giant bosses, so steampunk mechas and the like will definitely be in.

>>714891609
All intentional!

>>714889639
>>714889764
Thanks for the chance!

>>714891940
Yes, they are permanent indoors, but not on the overworld, to avoid endless clutter never despawning. Items remain on the ground though until you reload it.

>>714892231
Thanks! It's a direct sequel and expansion on the original.

>>714892046
dicks are gay

>>714879516 (OP)
All codes used I think =(

>>714879516 (OP)
I remember you from the dev threads. Happy to see your game coming along anon!

this achievement is quite broken. also please add an autowalk button.

>>714879516 (OP)
13€
Yeeeeah no thanks, 5€ is my max limit sorry anon
also all the keys are used unless I'm retarded (high chance of both)

Decent newb build? Unga bunga?

>>714892453
Alright then, looks good enough to give it a try.
What's the state content-wise? Is there anything past a few low level dungeons with bandits?

>>714893505
na they're definitely all used. Unfortunate too because I'm a pirate chad and shill games like crazy when I like them but I am too NEET to spend $15.
And since OP will be updating frequently I can't really enjoy pirating this even if it does get added to the websites.

>>714879516 (OP)
no, it sounds terrible and looks bad
generative = no soul
but have a bump

Android version when?

>>714893707
>but I am too NEET to spend $15.
I'm the opposite I'm too jewish to spend money on games lol

>>714879516 (OP)
Huh, weird. I just picked up Devil Spire 1 the other day and haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
Looks neat, anon. Big fan of the imsim stuff, scratches the arx fatalis itch.

>>714879516 (OP)
No clue if you are an english speaker or not.

>>714879516 (OP)
>You may now AMA and call me a slur
what inspired you to buckle down and make the game? I've got my own game ideas but every time I sit down to learn blender I just watch youtube BS instead.

Nigger.

>>714879516 (OP)
basic bitch question: how did you build it?
>t. /gedg/

>>714879516 (OP)
I want to buy your game. I don't want to try the demo. Gimme a code that reduces the price to 5 bucks and I'll get it right now.

>>714879516 (OP)
I will buy it if you add pepe frog race.

also what engine are you making it in, etc. let us know how dev has been so far i always find this sort of stuff interesting as a fellow indie.

>>714879516 (OP)
You are a slur.

>>714892046
>Kinda catdog-like
Why not add that snout to the lizard people? The cat look okay but the argonian look like shit.

>>714879516 (OP)
i'll add it to my wishlist and buy it when i remember about it
godspeed mr dev

>>714892957
Thanks! I didn't post much progress, but now that I'll work on much more fun content updates I can go back to sharing more.

>>714893398
Already fixed for the next patch on friday. Get it for free whole you can!

>>714893505
>>714893707
Bummer, but bad news: it'll go for 20 USD after v1.0, so better to grab it now rather than later...

>>714893526
all STR no INT go UNGA

>>714893604
All the mechanics are in place but all the content is the bare minimun: only one monster, only one dungeon type, only one non-hostile NPC class, etc. But the game does have content for all levels from 1 to 50, and you can even beat it already.

>>714893786
Probably never but who knows~

>>714893993
Nice. Enjoy both now!

>>714879516 (OP)
Is the combat stat based or action based?

>>714894170
ESL but fightin it

>>714894493
Godot 4 and sweat

>>714894504
>>714893789
Guess we'll be needing another giveaway huh?

>>714894673
Frogs will be in and even aquatic races that can't breathe outside water!

>>714895541
>Bummer, but bad news: it'll go for 20 USD after v1.0, so better to grab it now rather than later...
Who the hell do you think you are, Notch!?
Good luck on your game though, it's not like I would've time to play it anyway

>>714895052
They're based on ayylmaoo lizard people. But i guess the asrgonian fans want real lizardmen. Guess I'll have to implement one soon!

>>714895428
Yes feed the algo pls

>>714895724
50/50

>>714879516 (OP)
are you a rum or vodka kinda guy?

Post the lizards and I *might* purchase your game.

>>714894249
I just like make game, because what else am I gonna do with my life? PLAY them??

>>714894709
no u

>>714893729
It's my thing to make systems heavy shit like this, but thanks for the bump

>>714892046
Conan Exiles had big floppy dicks, btw. You could even change the penis size.

>>714896060
>It's my thing to make systems heavy shit
how autistic will you go?

>>714895891
Yeah, ayylmaoolizard isn't even popular in Star Trek Online. A game where Gorn, an actual lizard exist and is more popular by scalefag. Just saying it because you're missing out on scalefag money that love argonian, kobold, dragonborn, the lizard in divinity, etc.

Not a bad choice to go for the mechanics first, it's a better tease then just adding assets. I'll give it a try.

>>714896343
and all these degenerates should be beaten to death with hammers

>>714879516 (OP)
how long did it take you from prototype to steam release? (sitting on an idea for years doesn't count)

>>714879516 (OP)
Is it ever going to be finished?

what do i need to do to start using the building skill? do i need to learn it from a random npc?

I have 24 cores and 32Gb RAM, can the game NOT stutter when generating the world?

>>714896197
I'm not a big publisher to handle getting a Mature rating slapped on my shit...

>>714896272
Not Dwarf fortress level, maybe, but pretty far in all directions. Best if you see it ingame, since all major mechanics are already in.

>>714896343
>>714896481
Got it. Lizardmen coming in the future as players and enemies.

>>714896381
My hero, idol and inspiration.

>>714896432
Thanks! Also it allows me to focus on content updates which are way more fun IF ONLY THE BUG REPORTS STOPPED

>>714897147
2 years and some change!

>>714897427
Yes in 3 or 5 years!

>>714897741
Demolish some stuff and learn how they could've been built!

>>714896381
someone needs to make bulk bogan

>>714879516 (OP)
Oh shit, the anon who made Devil Spire made a sequel? Nice.

If you're reading this faggot, I liked your first game.

Can I own a house and get married in this game
or at least own a house and let a female NPC live with me

>>714897960
Reduce the number of threads when clicking New World, and it'll generate slower, but more stable, and hog less of your CPU all to itself.

>>714898573
There is a non-zero chance he spawns in the game as an NPC.

>>714899039
Thanks! Hope you'll like this one too!

>>714899339
Yes and yes. Marriage is kill, but not blind absolute servitude!

congratulation op, this looks very fun, kinda my type of autism, will buy it when I have the money

I wish there was a way to disable gamepad glypg display if I only use mouse and keyboard

I'm glad that this game actually exists unlike the Wayward Realms. I'll probably wait for more content before buying in, but as someone whose dream game is a souped up 3D Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode or better version of Daggerfall I'm happy that this game is more realized than Julian Lefay's Kickstarter grift will ever be.

fuck this is the game i wanted to make

>>714879516 (OP)
first game was a fucking disgrace
is this still roguelite slop?

>>714879516 (OP)
That really looks like ass my nigger.

>>714879516 (OP)
Neat game OP, congrats on the Tomato stream I'll play it after I'm done with Burggheist
Did you play The Urge, pretty cool game?
Say if you want someone to help out with sound design/implementation I'm trying to get some practice in, but I do think the basic ass sound effects do suit the otherworldly vibe of your game desu

>>714879516 (OP)
I didn't even realize that the first Devil Spire was made by someone /here/, I'll pick this up and play it later tonight.

>>714879516 (OP)
Hey, I saw tomato stream this the other day. Looks fun, good work

>>714879516 (OP)
What a neat little game, played the demo for about 30 minutes. Wishlisted for sure.

>>714895771
>Guess we'll be needing another giveaway huh?
Reduce the price. You can increase it back after when the quality and expectation of the userbase have increased.

>>714900060
Thanks!

>>714900442
If you click with the mouse, the glyphs disappear. Unless your controller is leaking button presses...

>>714901582
Totally fair. Just don't forget about us!

>>714901632
Just do it but in space, or make paid mods!

>>714901848
Nope, it's now open world crafting survival slop

>>714902892
Not at all. I am a hater to zombie games.

And I love having a lame ass excuse to steal retro games sound effects too much.

>>714903054
We're all gonna making it!

>>714903067
What a lucky shot that was, and the playthrought itself was perfect. It ended with gim getting a fucking horse suplex.

>>714879516 (OP)
I looked at your game some weeks ago OP, looks cool... but I will only buy it if you put it on GOG.com.

I want to OWN your game, after all.

>>714903915
Thanks! The algo god will be pleased

>>714905860
The prices for both EA and the complete version were voted for by the players, so they will be what they will be. What currency specifically you'll buy it with?

>>714907380
I understand... But Steam is the only place I can consistently sell my game, prease let me become a billionaire first...

>>714879516 (OP)
Devil Spire was pretty cool, and the 3d models are a bit anti-soul in comparison but if you're trying for some Daggerfall-like procedural generation then that's probably easier than trying to paper doll pieces of sprites together for variety. Hope it does well anon

looks sick. i despise early access, but im eagerly waiting an official release. good luck.

>>714879516 (OP)
What are the penis customization options?

>>714905860
I agree with this anon. Most indie game has a discount at launch ti attract buyer and it spread the word of mouth from there. On her tail or whatever didn't do this and it fails to get furry buck to save it. Game like palworld and atlyss, on the other hand, made lots doing this strategy

>>714905860
do this. a very jewish trick is to do an absurdly small sale every once in a while.

The combat is VERY satisfying, way to go OP. Looking forward to full release.

>>714879516 (OP)
can you drop a build of the game without the steam DRM?

>>714879516 (OP)
Good luck with your game anon! I don't buy early access, so I'll wait until it leaves EA.

how do i pirate this shit

>>714915325
It'll be a few days before it pops up on the usual places. It's an EA title so it won't really be worth it unless you want to keep up with manually finding updates. I've had that happen with both ends of the dev spectrum
>literally could not keep pace with Path of Achra or Soulash 2 updates for most of a year, start having schizo security concerns about the amount I'm having to download
>Everyone thinks the Stoneshard devs are dead until they slap a giant polished pixelated cock on the table from out of the blue, rinse and repeat every few years. Couldn't find a torrent for the next to last update they released for almost a month
Otherwise I just wishlist it and wait for the 1.0 notification

>>714913725
It's not about being jewish but if you think about it, if you want to grow your userbase then it needs to be low enough that most people into willing to waste their time playing indie stuff. In the eventuality that the game explodes in popularity AND you pushed a lot of polished content over the months/years then you can afford to demand a higher price for your game.
Shit like PEAK and REPO have exploded because they're sub 10 bucks games.
Like I bought underrail for 2 bucks in some random indie mysterery bag bundle years ago and now the game with its dlcs is 25+ something when not on sale.

8gb VRAM for a game that looks like poopoo.
Is it actually required or did your crack pipe write the specs?

>>714916614
I think it's because it has to spend 5 minutes generating the world.

PLEASE PLEASE PELASEPLAEASE MAKE SEXY CHARACTERS

>>714879516 (OP)
Loved first one, but I JUST SAW second game and I wanted to try demo and uh..and crashed during 15 min run to some dungeon. Sad, because this game looks like everything I wanted.

>another indie game with faux ps1 graphics
Can we move on to the next bad trend already

>>714879516 (OP)
Quickly! Brain yourself in a horrific accident, miraculously recover, and then reveal that you've actually always hated Daggerfall like rpgs with a sudden update that turns the game into a broken walking sim!

>>714879516 (OP)
Cool, I'm going to pirate it

>>714920598
This is so specific I feel like it has to be referencing a game that did just that, qrd?

>>714879516 (OP)
>I swear I'm not gonna go "crazy" and/or die in some freak "accident" any time soon
Show some respect, he was a great man. He was a man who promised us wendussy and did everything in his power to deliver. And in this house Ruza anon is a hero! End of story!"

>>714879516 (OP)
Oh hey I saw this pop up during nextfest. Good to see this isn't abandonware out of the gate, I will now follow your game. I am excited to see what this game will look like in a year. God speed.

>flails
>muskets
Oh fuck yeah lemme wishlist this and try the demo tomorrow. Will probably get. Thanks for letting me know about this

>>714879516 (OP)
looks kewl, I'll check it out when I have time.

>>714879516 (OP)
The 90's called and they want their graphics back. Sounds interesting enough for a wishlist at least. Nigger.

>>714921247
Ruza dev was a pretty prolific monsterfucker and nice guy that was around on the gamedev and monster threads, he got HORRIFIC brain damage, recovered, then about a year or so later had a complete breakdown, removed all characterization from the main monster girl and any branching story options in his game that he made specifically for monster fucking and story choices, said it was "all part of the plan" and that he "always hated coomers" etc etc. He was so unhinged and pivoted in personality so completely people were genuinely concerned he had some sudden brain complication happening, which he probably did. Which is a shame, since he *was* nice.

i fast traveled to a location and ended up far below the terrain at the water level. i would wait for a better screenshot but you can't wait in water. i'm not upset or anything dev just thought you should know about it.

>>714924159
it seems saving and loading fixed it.
