It runs like shit on a Pentium 4 + 9500GT. I know that it's some weak hardware , but I guess it should at least handle a 2D roguelike acceptably. I get higher FPS in Crysis 2 than in this game. Hopefully a patch or something might fix it.
I was gonna pirate it to check out what this game was, but i had a good feeling about it and just bought it straight over steam, no demo no torrent etc. - I do NOT regret doing so! Easily one of the most enjoyable roguelikes ive played in recent times. Great fun.
Gods, you Youtube folks really know it all, don't you? Lo and behold the eternal wisdom of some pubescent 15 year old.
this game isn't like Pokemon, it's not like friggin' Call of Duty it's A ROGUELIKE game. Next time youopen that big mouth, go read up on what you're talking about first. It's the way the world works outside of the bed room where mommy come to make your sheets while you're busy playing World of Warcraft.
@rand0mrem1x nothing like runescape, graphics are nothing like dofus, realmcrafter is not suited for this kind of game , roguelike games really should not be done in 3d
The gameplay unfortunately isn't original enough. This is a mix between Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and some flash dungeon crawlers. I mean seriously, it's hard to market yourself as 'hardcore' and original when you're a derivative clone.
@Renegen1 if you say that its like more then 1 game couldnt you say that its "inspired" by games of the same gameplay? i mean i bet if we looked farther back we can say that nintendo just saw gameplay from like final fantasy and just added pokemon? (not trying to be mean)
@SCIENTIST619 I I really don`t think inspired is the right wrong. Pokemon is inspired from Final Fantasy (and other dungeon crawler RPGs). But this game has the exact same core mechanics as the games I named. At some point, it`s not fun to play a game that feels identical.
@rand0mrem1x I'm not sure why my comment was removed (I did try to repost it, so maybe the spam filter), but indeed; while octopi is accepted, it is not technically correct.
@rand0mrem1x With regards to Realmcrafter Pro: We have a 3D engine developed internally for some other projects. We're just not using it for this game. (Even if we were licensing technology instead of developing our own 3D engine in the future, I don't think we'd use Realmcrafter. I'd rather use Unity.)
As for a release date: we're still working hard, when we get something more nailed down we'll keep everybody posted. Hang in there.
@rand0mrem1x I'm not sure why you thought to pursue this, but you do realize that what you just copy/pasted indeed supports (and specifically lists as an example) the fact that "octopi" isn't correct technically, but is simply an accepted usage out of ignorance of its roots, right?
@rand0mrem1x You do realize that what you just copy/pasted indeed supports (and specifically calls out, actually) the fact that "octopi" isn't correct technically, but is simply an accepted usage out of ignorance of its roots, right? I don't see why you feel the need to pursue this.
@rand0mrem1x You might want to look up Merriam-Webster's "Ask the Editor - Octopus." Although considering your lack of proper punctuation ( isn[']t, it[']s, [']bout, and don[']t, etc. ), capitalization, and tense (the past tense of "bring" is "brought"), I would probably concern myself with other English lessons first.
1) It's a view radius of 7 units each way. I could make it larger; we've just never really played with it beyond what we initially set it to.
2) The mouse controls most interaction. You can move with WASD or the arrow keys, and there are hot keys for some actions such as opening your equipment or toolbar.
Cool, cool. Can you at least attack with the keyboard(WASD)? Having menus for your inventory and equipment and spells and everything sounds pretty cool, but clicking every time I want to attack..... might be a little brutal.
Also wait, can you not move diagonally?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions though!
Hey, just throwing this out there, but at 0:37 the description for the Octo should say "Octopuses" instead of "Octopi" (or at the very least - though still technically incorrect - "Octopodes")
@Noonstance Coincidentally, the girlfriend and I have begun watching QI recently, but we're only about halfway through the "B" series.
I've simply been fanatically interested in cephalopods my whole life. in fact, as a young child I was ordered by my preschool teacher to stop talking about the giant squid, as it was evidently scaring the others. When my mother came to pick me up, she found me under a table, muttering "Giant squid, giant squid, giant squid" to myself.
@Radici20 We only have one artist, and he is currently on a vision quest (or he's just making coffee.) If we do a 3D title in future, we will have changing character appearances; for a 2D game where each of the hero's two thousand frames of animation must be individually redrawn for each piece of equipment, it's just not financially feasible.
This has come together tremendously from the looks of it in all areas---especially those stylin' brows. Pre-order is pretty much guaranteed from me---this trailer upgrading that from "likely" to guaranteed.
Borderlands: We have 87 billion Guns!
Dungeons of Dreadmor: We have 87 billion chesses!
purchase latter!
