    What should a game expose to attract gamers?

    I am developing a Steam game called Golden Fall 2. It's an RPG game, with a rogue like battle mechanics. I am adding more and more content, I am thinking of having 20 levels. The question is... what should I expose in the trailer and screenshots. The best parts are also the parts you want to...

  4. Shorter compact games vs Longer games?

    It is very well known that Gamers do not complete games. Data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17XDvG-oJlYDHmVoDYdqqGlS1JC0MdRuuCe5uVm8GXaM/edit#gid=0 A significant majority fail to even reach the halfway mark. This indicates that there is a surplus of content that Gamers do not need...

  5. RPG's with dark atmosphere

    As per title. I'm trying to build up a collection of games to play through. I define dark very loosely. I'll start: Gothic Gothic 2 Fear & Hunger Darklands

  6. Photo-realistic Graphics lead to decline in RPGs?

    As technology progressed throughout the years, gamers thirst for better graphics increased by several magnitude. Naturally, game devs began to cater to these, colloquially termed, 'graphics whores' by pushing the boundaries by creating better and better games in a photo-realistic style. Rpg devs...

  7. Homebrew PnP Rpg system discussion

    Has anyone here tried to create their own home-brew system? How did the attempt at creating it go? What did you dislike about conventional systems (Dnd, Ars Magica, etc.) that made you go out to make one yourself? What sort of mechanics and features did you try to innovate? Do you like having...

    Incline Quests which you would like to see in RPGs?

    To contrast the "Stereotypical quests", what are some quests that you would like to see included in RPGs?

  10. RPG's with pretty death animations

    I very much enjoy the over the top death animations from Fallout 1,2, Tactics. I don't recall any other other rpg with such satisfying animations. Are there any other rpg's where death is welcomed in a such an eye-pleasing manner ? The next game that i could think of was Diablo 2 but it isn't...

  11. I don't know the title but i hope i find it

    Its a fairly old game and I only played it a couple of times. I remember that the games's intro had a dragon of some sort. The game play for the first stage(i think) as I remember had multiple lanes and you defeat waves of monsters (like in Dota or LOL but in 3rd person) the monsters had like...

    [Exanima] This game has a weird tryhard difficulty philosophy that's probably keeping it down.

    No offense to the devs, but I've just read some of their posts in the past and thought of the following points. One dev actually said that the checkpoint save mechanic is already a "gross violation" of their "choices have consequences" philosophy. What, does he expect people to beat this game...

    Incline Josh Sawyer appreciation station

    Say what you will about the current state of Obsidian and how poe2 turned out but this guy deserves more than a Q&A thread. He deserves an appreciation station. This guy made amazing iwd 2 and worked on iwd1, fallout New Vegas inspired a lot for the people who are into that type of stuff (I'm...

    [Disco Elysium] Disappointing Mid-late game. [Heavy Spoilers]

    It had SO MUCH going for it from beginning to mid-game. It's such a shame that mid-late game was so lack-luster. The mid game conflict (Merc Tribunal) has basically only one resolution...No peaceful path. Kim is the only one you care about. Okay, maybe Titus too if you like him, but seriously I...

  15. Evil protagonist Rpgs

    What games did you think makes you feel like an evil or morally ambigous main character the best? I know the usual suspects, like NWN HOTU campaing, Tyranny, Overlord 1 and 2, and Bloodlines, but im looking at the very niche ones, or the overlooked, even those with an evil path that people dont...

  16. New player who bought several RPGs - where to start?

    For some background if anyone gives a shit (if not, skip to list below), I've been a gamer throughout my life of 25 years, starting out with console and progressing towards PC gaming in the last 5 years or so. I have never played any of the "classics" growing up, but I have played a few of what...

    RPG design should be about...

    When designing a role playing game, what should its lead designers focus on, and what should the money mostly go towards? Obviously you want some of all three categories, but what should get the most work behind it?

    Best MARKSMANSHIP on RPG's

    Following my old thread discussing the best necromancies on RPG's ( https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/best-necromancy-on-rpgs.130867/ ), i wanna discuss now what makes archery in some RPG's that great? What makes a game having good archery imo? Long range combat (not 13~15m range...

    Moonspeak Relics - The Recur of Origin Translation Project

    Why are RPG gamers more tolerant with bullshit mechanics?

    EDIT : PLEASE. READ THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. This is not a topic only about cooldowns. The new Contra rogue corps had the """"genial"""" idea of implementing cooldowns of firearms and everyone is hating it. Mocking it. Saying that is a artificial limitation that makes no sense only to force the...

Making Moonshades is the culmination of a long-felt desire since I was a child. Moonshades is a dungeon crawler role-playing game to restore the immersive...
