Is it just or is anybody else excited to read these daily games, it’s kinda relaxing.

That’s what i’m going for. I want to provide a spot for people to talk about games while sharing my thoughts and opinions

tomalley8342, do games w I added new config options called "outline" and "Shadows" for my action roguelite game

すこれ is pronounced su-ko-re, すこあ or スコア (su-ko-a) would probably be closer to what you want if you want the word “score”.

SketBR,

Thanks, I had taken an English word and replaced it with Japanese characters, and I didn’t know because I’m Brazilian. But I’m always learning Japanese since I live here. Thank you for correcting me

zikzak025,

Jisho.org is a fairly helpful site for finding words like that. Sometimes you have to scroll a bit to find the “loanword” version of a term, but it helps with showing different nuances of translated words when looking them up.

Unfortunately I think it’s EN-JP only, but helpful if you know the English word you want.

“timer” should also be タイマー rather than ちめる (chimeru) though classic Japanese games like Super Mario would just say “TIME” in English.

FuyuhikoDate, do games w I added new config options called "outline" and "Shadows" for my action roguelite game

What’s the name of your game?

According to the screenshots I think the white outline is too bright. Especially on the first screenshot around the cards(?) it looks kinda off

Maybe give it a lil contrast?

Otherwise the best outline option I’ve ever seen was in deadcells, where you could customize it to your personal likings.

And do I see it right that you use three different outline options?

Maybe one for the main char and only one for every enemy but 3 looks a bit too much.

And for somebody who see this screenshots a the first time, a “before / after” screenshots would be nice to give better feedback

SketBR,

Great, instead of using a white outline, use a black outline, that’s what I understood. Thank you for the feedback.

FuyuhikoDate,

Not exactly: Make it less white (maybe a few shades darker) Or give the player themself the option to change the color of their choice (also colorblind friendly)

SketBR,

Thank you, I will change this.

Dungeon Crawler Stone Soup. I haven’t heard of this and it looks fun.

catfeeder,

It’s free (in both meanings) and can run on a potato, it’s definitely worth a try!

artwork,
@artwork@lemmy.world avatar

Apologies, but why even mention “free” and “free-beer” terms the first time someone has a desire to dive in such miracles… or ineffably magnificent work of lore, characters, items, balances… art? How low should you even look at such art to even consider the hecking price almost instantly…?


The title has been in development since the very Crawl and Dungeon Crawl of 1997, 1995, or even before that…

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
Copyright 1997-2025 Linley Henzell, the dev team, and the contributors
Source (License)

There are numerous contributors, programmers, artists, donators…
The Universe is close-related to Rogue, Hack, and Moria of 1983.

Some of the Crawl developers hang out on the #crawl-dev IRC channel on Libera: ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/#crawl.

The current binaries are cross-platform, support TTY (terminal), web (“WebTiles” or “web-tiles”, former “NetTiles”), and desktop-native (“tiles”; SDL - the library) portals to adventure the universe…
You may self-host any of course, including web-tiles, but due to how authentication is organized since the beginning still, the current version authentication is based on the operating system, and you may want to isolate that in containers nowadays; there are examples.

Some hosts support live-streaming, e.g.: underhound.eu:8080/

Relatively recently, when someone asked about artwork contributions in the IRC channel, they updated the contribution guide, too!

Submitting artwork

If you want to submit artwork (tiles, icons, splash screens) for consideration, you can link it to us in #crawl-dev, or you can open a github issue, or you can submit a pull request.

If you’re doing tiles art, or splash screen art, then it’s recommended to look at our existing artwork and try to match the general style presented there. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, and clear improvements are always welcome.

If not hard art work-wise, some do donate, too:

Q: Does DCSS accept donations?
The DCSS dev team doesn’t currently accept donations. The online server admins, some of whom are DCSS devs themselves, kindly pay all server costs. See your online server’s lobby page for the admin’s contact info if you’d like to offer them a donation. You can donate to me if you’d like to support my dev work and stream.
Source

There have been discussions for release at Steam, too, relatively similar to Dwarf Fortress or Xonotic even have.


I am sorry, but… how may not you even heard about Dungeon Crawl hearing about the genre almost everywhere…

And… again… money? What does “free” mean? How is that even related here…?

catfeeder,

Because, if it’s free, you can just try it out, no? Some people (including me) are broke and need to carefully manage their expenses. It often means I wait for months before getting a new game, however much I desire it. A free game though? I can check it out at any moment, as long as I have a time for myself.

It would be nice to live in a naive world where I can just get whatever I want, whenever I want to.

I am sorry, but… how may not you even heard about Dungeon Crawl hearing about the genre almost everywhere…

I’m not sure what you mean by that. Of course I know about Dungeon Crawl and its genre…

meta4,

What the fuck

whelk, do gaming w After playing DCSS for two years I finally beat it
@whelk@retrolemmy.com avatar

Well done, my only win was years ago with a Gargoyle Fighter of the Shining One, went all in on shield blocking and armor, no evade. I was told this is a terrible strategy but I don’t know, it’s my only win in many years of playing so it can’t be that bad.

God powers are a lot of fun. It does take a minute to get past the piety hoarding mindset but hey, if you don’t use your powers when they’re useful then you’re more likely to die, and dead means zero piety

catfeeder,

I ran most of the game with a ring of evasion on, and my stats show that I dodged almost 3000 points of damage, so I’d say getting some EV is optimal even for dwarves and gargoyles with their low dodging apt.

With that said, in crawl clever play can mitigate many “sub-optimal” decisions and builds which I really love! I’m 100% sure I made several mistakes for this build too. Another roguelike like TOME is much less friendly to sub-optimal builds (at least in my experience).

The main reason I tend to not use gods’ abilities is just that there’s so much you can do in dcss that I sometimes just forget about what I can do. I’m way too fast in my decision making lol

Ephera,

I believe, rings of evasion are generally quite good for tanks, because you can be running around in the clunkiest armor and still get a flat +6 or so to evasion. Same goes for mages and rogues with rings of protection.

But yeah, I’ve also killed so many characters due to hasty decision-making. Just killed an Armataur + Wu Jian run today, because my health was running low and I figured offense is the best defense. I could’ve blinked away no problem. Hell, I could’ve launched a much better offense at practically no cost by using Serpent’s Lash, but nope, just ended up tapping the keys I always tap and hoping for RNGesus to save me.

I feel this. Splatted a lot of characters because I didn’t decided to just keep hitting/walking away when the situation requires a much more involved solution. At least I die with lots of consumables in my pocket :)

That is dope as shit. I love both Ace Combat (Shattered Skies especially! Woooo!) and Macross, this is such a cool simpit.

Absolutely badass!

This may go without saying, but if you’re enjoying starbound you’ll probably have more fun with terraria. For years I wanted starbound to be a spiritual successor and generally better game, but it simply isn’t.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I 100% terraria when i was younger (or, well, got all the achievements and beat all the bosses) and it kind of burnt me out on terraria. I have always wanted to do another playthrough but it really took it out of me and i can’t find the motivation to sit down and play through it all again

You can run Moonlight on your Steam Link and stream anything you want. I haven’t used it in awhile, but I remember it being less laggy than streaming through Steam.

@jwiggler@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you just discovered Steam Link and you’re not married to it, you could use Sunshine as your gamestreaming host and Moonlight as the client. you can set it up so that you can launch Steam Big Picture on your host and play any games that are listed under your steam, even if they are non-steam games.

TheRealKuni,

Try Apollo in place of Sunshine, it was recommended to me as having more options. (I don’t actually know though, I never used Sunshine.)

sonofearth,

Apparently the dev got banned. The reason is unclear and I would love to understand the other side but this is on their Github.

I got kicked from Moonlight and Sunshine’s Discord server and banned from Sunshine’s GitHub repo literally for helping people out. This is what I got for finding a bug, opened an issue, getting no response, troubleshoot myself, fixed the issue myself, shared it by PR to the main repo hoping my efforts can help someone else during the maintenance gap.

TheRealKuni,

Turns out the major difference is the thing I use most: virtual display in headless mode.

When I connect as a virtual display, I have Apollo set to treat the new virtual display (whose resolution is set by Moonlight’s settings, so I can control it on the client end). Headless mode means all apps open in the virtual display, so I never need to go to the PC itself. And finally, in the advanced settings I have it set up so the virtual display is treated as the only display, so existing applications move to the virtual display (in case I already had Steam or Battle.net or whatever open).

jwiggler,
@jwiggler@sh.itjust.works avatar

So I’ve been seeing some discussion online about how Apollo has solved some user’s problems with virtual display

Do you mind me asking what you’re running? I’m on Ubuntu 25.10 w/ Plasma 6.4 running wayland, and I’ve had issues forever setting up a virtual display. I’ve just accepted that I have to go with whatever modes the edid my monitor/dummy hdmi plug offers, which means I havent been able to stream 1260x800 or 2560x1600 to my steamdeck (so it is black-barred)

I guess Plasma 6.6 is going to add the ability to add custom modes via kscreen-doctor, but thats at least a few months out I think. I’d much rather use a native virtual display if apollo is magically able to do that.

TheRealKuni,

Oh I’m still a Windows user, haven’t yet migrated over (though I do have a Nobara install I’ve played with a bit, I haven’t tried to get Apollo working on it). I stream 2560x1440 and just ignore the black bars, but I could request 2560x1600 and I think it would work just fine (I prefer the higher resolution for higher quality, rather than the native 1280x800, though I can confirm that requesting 1280x800 works when my bandwidth is limited).

That setting is handled within Moonlight, and Apollo respects that setting by default, so Apollo presents itself as a virtual display with the resolution requested by Moonlight. At least that’s my understanding.

sonofearth,

Thanks I will look into it. I didn’t know stuff like this even existed lol.

chronicledmonocle, do games w Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux)

Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?

When I started planning my event, I didn’t know where to begin — until I found More information on. This platform made everything feel more manageable and inspiring. The site is easy to navigate, with beautiful vendor profiles that include real work examples and helpful descriptions. I quickly found professionals whose style matched my vision, and the communication process was smooth and professional. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by choices, I felt organized and confident. Wezoree truly simplifies event planning and helps you make smart decisions with clarity and peace of mind.

Undertale is one of the top games for a hit to the feels.

lazycouchpotato, do games w Day 531 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

Never got around to playing Undertale.

On HowLongToBeat I see that completing the main story takes 7 hours, but 100%ing takes 20.

What do the remaining 13 hours comprise of? Is it more dialogue? Collectables? Alternative endings?

pogodem0n,

I played it a few years ago, so I don’t remember if it had an in-game percentage counter.

Without spoiling much: the game has multiple very distinct endings and depending on your playstyle may require multiple playthroughs.

I can say that it is one the best RPGs I have ever played. Nearly every single choice you make has a very noticeable impact on the world.

Anivia,
@Anivia@feddit.org avatar

and depending on your playstyle may require multiple playthroughs

I’m not too deep into undertale, since I only played it casually once, but aren’t there at least 2 endings that would require you to start completely over from the beginning? Meaning it would be literally impossible to get all endings without multiple playthroughs?

pogodem0n,

Yeah, I deliberately wrote it like that trying to be vague. Don’t know if it was a good idea though. 😅

SlurpingPus,

YouTube playthroughs indicate that there are at least four ways to play the game.

orenj,
@orenj@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You could get two endings in one playthrough if you either chose to play a certain way, or had foreknowledge of one of either of the two extreme ending’s requirements.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’d have to guess it’s alternate endings and side content, it’s been a while since i’ve seen a playthrough of the game though so i may be wrong
