This procedurally generated shit has to die already

It works fine in roguelikes (ToME, DCSS, etc.)

Looks good and it's dirt cheap, I shall check it out. Has anyone here played it?

It's a roguelike ffs.

The Doors of Trithius is an upcoming roguelike with the depth of an RPG

Also this sentence is retarded

That's like saying Quake is an upcoming arena shooter with the depth of an FPS

Shameful for someone who posts news tbh

Lost me at "procedurally generated", why would I want to "explore" when you settle for throwing random shit at me? Design a proper world dammit.

Why is this game just now coming to light on the codex if it’s been in EA for a few years now? Also all these retards complaining about procedural generation lol.

The developer finally created a trailer.

There's also a multi-year old thread on it in the CRPG forum and discussion in the Roguelike thread...

I look forward to this one, played it only a little then set it down to allow for more dev. It has a lot of promise.

I assumed that he meant it was shallow for a roguelike. Since usually to compensate for having no time spent on graphics, more gameplay depth is put in. Since it really frees you up for whatever gameplay systems you can think up, only limited by the developer's imagination. A roguelike with the depth of a regular RPG would be removing that time on graphics for nothing.

Unless roguelite was meant, in which case, yeah, that makes sense.

The problem is that almost everything is a roguelike these days. There's hundreds if not thousands of roguelikes of every flavor on Steam and GoG, and apart from those, there's a ton of free ones floating around the net too.
And due to procedural generation algorithms all creating samey dungeon maps over and over, they all feel the same at some point. Doesn't matter how mechanically complex they are or how much they differ from each other, they all feel the same due to the proc gen dungeons.

I'm so fucking tired of procedural slop at this point. Hire a fucking level designer FFS.

Rogue-likes have less content, which is the main reason why "full-sized" RPGs are so hard to make.

There's no point in making a 40-hr RPG when people will throw 6000 hours repetitively grinding through the same six lol who am I kidding two dungeon tilesets.

Financially speaking, rogue-likes are so much more effective than RPGs.

Dwarf Fortress procedurally generates worlds better than most game studios hand craft them. It not only generates the terrain, but also all the population centers, what kind of people own those population centers, growth and founding of new population centers of a civilization, legendary creatures, wars, prominent figures and their actions, any artifacts that have been created, fights between prominent figures and other prominent figures or legendary creatures, natural events like earthquakes and volcanoes and the effects on nearby areas, and so on. In other words, it will generate the entire world and then generate how many years worth of history and lore go on in that world before you set out on your embark or journey, depending on if you're playing Fortress mode or Adventure mode. I've had games of Dwarf Fortress start right after the mountain home where my dwarves came from got sacked by goblins they were at war with, and the royal family of that mountain home were either killed or captured with the captured ones being in held in a specific goblin city. If you check the stone carvings and tapestries that your dwarves make, they can range from them carving events that happened in your fortress while you're playing, to the history of the land or your people before you started playing. I've had legendary beasts show up at my fortress with old injuries and wounds they received from previous fights they've had in history.
