Space Wreck - post-apocalyptic space RPG inspired by Fallout

Oh wow, guys, you nailed the references in like a blitz. RPGWatch got 1 and PCGamer 1.5? Wow.

Anyways, while I am working on larger content piece, here's glimpse at small animations update.

While exploring Junkspace, you are likely to run into a cambot. Once a popular and cost-effective all-in-one security solution, they still guard company's property blissfully unaware of decades passed

I'm getting Space Station 13 vibes from the graphics

Nice! Space Station 13 is totally something I don't mind being compared to in any way.

Can I consent to be a pizza in this game?

 

[Kamaz]

Did you just... brofist every post in the thread?

 

[FritzedProcess]

This is a concept for screen what you get when travelling between various wrecks.

Oh, and btw, how many obscure games related references can you find in this GIF?

The interface reminds me somewhat of the EVA suit section from Space Quest V.

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

The animations are very pleasant in a very 90's way.

EVA suit section from Space Quest V.

Nice guess! But in this case it was not intended.

Only one of the options gets you what you need, but all of them have skill-checks. Fail, and it may get you in trouble.

How to make the informed decision? Explore, gather information or pass perception check to read the NPC's psychological profile.

I am trying to mitigate infamous `click-to-win` gameplay that is quite common in many RPGs, even the good ones: you see a skill check and most likely go for it, sometimes even without reading.

There will still be cases with `skill-check === good` scenarios but I am trying to mix it up a little bit here and there.

Do you like mines in your RPG? I like mines.

Not the part where you step on one - that's just annoying. But I really like the creative tactical solutions they provide.

You can place mines. Be careful though, once it is set it does not magically recognize you - it will detonate on anybody indiscriminately.

Mines can, of course, be disarmed. It is a SCITEC skill roll and if you fail. Well, you've got 2 seconds to get away

...but if you succeed, you can pick up disarmed mine for yourself and place it wherever you need it.

Do you like mines in your RPG?

Yes, especially multi-level, labyrinthine and filled with eldritch horrors.

 

[ItsChon]

The way the mine is represented on the floor makes it kind of hard to figure out what it actually is. Maybe some sort of a highlighting feature or a change in the art would be good.

Good point. I was going for oh the mine is masked as a random debris! but, yes, probably makes sense to make them more easily detectable. Penalizing pixelhunt is not the most rewarding type of gameplay.

 

[Kamaz]

ItsChon smth like this would be acceptable?

That's perfect. Only request would be that it can be highlighted through the press of a button versus having to hover the mouse over it.

 

[Black Angel]

Better yet, why not make it like Underrail? Only this time it CAN be masked as a random debris but by rolling detection/trap skill your character can recognize a mine from some distance based on skill by alerting you, and then your character automatically avoid it once they noticed it. You can even put a perk that allows the character to not trigger a mine like Fallout's Light Step but balanced in that can only be done after noticing the trap.

 

[Kamaz]

You make PERCEPTION checks while moving. If pass, you are notified of a presence of a mine nearby.

Radius is also dependent on PERCEPTION for now.

 

[Black Angel]

Very nice.

Also, would you consider more elaborate traps, other than landmines? Like booby-trapped containers, and perhaps traps that triggers gates closing. Fallout has booby-trapped containers and a specific instance like pitfall in the farm near Modoc, and if I'm not mistaken also some wire traps? But other than that, nothing more elaborate. Same with AoD, and it's a shame Underrail has no more elaborate traps other than landmines and bear traps.

Was the main character drawn by a 3 year old?

Filthy fucking graphic whore

Come 'ere and pray the Emperor grants you mercy

This looks cool. Always good to have a non-fantasy RPG that isn't made by retards.

Yo old fuck, why ain't you and the boys over in NMA not talk much about the game over there https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/fallout-inspired-isometric-retro-indie-rpg-spacewreck.218724/

Man, this is nice!

We don't talk about video games. Only politics.

Spoiler

I'll have my guy do a news post for it

I ended up doing it. The art style reminds me of Neo Scavenger.

How can you avoid this? As you'd expect in role-playing game:
1) avoid receiving damage with successful EVASION roll
2) detect traps on containers with PERCEPTION roll (see below: )

This is something I wish more games did.
