Titan Outpost Release Thread

Should I play this game or no?

This and Encased are among the most uninteresting games I have played, they are also janky and run like shit

Bad take. This is a wholly unique game in a genre that desperately needs a shot of creativity. It has jank, but who fucking cares? This is RPG Codex. We like Gothic and Realms of Arkania here.

Wasting your time,luji is well know to be mega sperging bitch with a shitty taste.

Yes!

Hahaha yes better listen to this alcoholic goat fucker about 'taste'

Ehh

it IS unique, but that doesn't mean it's good

Disco Elysium is unique too, but it's hardly a step in the right direction

and don't equate "creativity" with system bloat. Many people believe they are "innovating" by adding a bunch of systems one on top of another

this genre doesn't need creativity in a "let's reinvent the wheel" sense

that is what Soyer believed and we know how that turned out

If this game had come out in 1999 you'd be championing it as an example of "devs used to take chances with genre hybrids, now everything is stale and safe".

fantadomat might be his own brand of retard, but at least he is still playing and enjoying games, unlike you sad poser

 

[luj1]

this is the definition of a "7/10 game" tbh

genre hybrids never worked (except maybe HoMM 3... if you even want to call it a hybrid)

best example is Spellforce, forever mediocre IP

You two are still playing games because you are retards and losers in life. I am very picky cause I played games when they were good, when they were the BEST... why the fuck would I play games now, when they are trash? You are very stupid

Deus Ex, King of Dragon Pass (maybe, idk even what genre to call it), Grand Theft Auto (this one was so successful it just about came to define the modern AAA action game), Jagged Alliance 2, Star Control 2.

While you're totally not a loser, wasting your time on the Codex discussing hobby you no longer share you're a caricature of a grognard with little to add to any conversation about games, especially those created after 1999.

7/10 games are great. They are also incredibly rare.
I simply dont know how you are rating shit, but if this is two steps above average thats amazing.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

when they were the BEST

Morrowind was never the best.

 

[luj1]

Like you would know brother?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Yes

the fuck you talking about mate

GTA is a third-person, action adventure game

Jagged Alliance 2 is an RPG

They arent 'genre hybrids'

You are right about Star Control, but guess what - it was never replicated

King of Dragon Pass - never replicated

The vast majority can't do this, unless it's really, really good it won't work. Titan outpost isn't on that level lol

I'm biased, but of course you should play it!

This and Encased are among the most uninteresting games I have played, they are also janky and run like shit

It has gotten plenty of updates since you tried it. It's still a little janky but it definitely doesn't 'run like shit'. Smooth performance unless you run ultra settings on a potato.

You once called TO a 'clever game but not an RPG because no combat'. That's a hot debate in and of itself, but nothing like what you said here. Worst thing you said about it is that you thought it looked bland. Don't know why you're displaying a hate boner for it now.

GTA is a third-person, action adventure game

No it's not. We're talking 1997 here. GTA 1 was a hybrid of a top down shooter (which was popular at the time, eg. Take No Prisoners) and a racing game with resource collection and other elements. Taking different jobs was inspired by Elite, for example. It was also janky as fuck. GTA 2 improved massively on that formula. GTA 3 turned it into what the franchise is today and is a very different beast, but still takes its fundamental loop from the first two games. Before GTA1, there was nothing like it. Mike Dailly had to convince the boss it wasn't a racing game and snuck it past him at first, despite riding the wave of Lemming's massive success.

The vast majority can't do this, unless it's really, really good it won't work. Titan outpost isn't on that level lol

What does that even mean? The vast majority of what? I'm one guy. There isn't exactly a host of people trying to do something similar.

Star Control 2 is one of my favorite games. I agree Titan Outpost is not on that level, but maybe it's my Star Control 1. If people who let's say thought Star Control 1 was a 7/10 game went around telling people not to play it, I don't think Ford and Reiche would have ever gotten Accolade to fund Star Control 2. I'm developing a follow-up out of pocket regardless because it's a labor of love, but the point stands. If you want to be edgy just for the sake of it, at least keep it real.

 

[fantadomat]

No,you shouldn't play it....but you should buy it. Clearly you lack the intelligence needed to appreciate the game,since you ask such a retarded question.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Still a damn pity no GOG release.

 

[AdolfSatan]

7/10 is selling it short, there are some rough edges mechanically, but the game’s great on the fun side.

What’s the current status of game no. 2?

Thanks.

Status of TJS is slow and steady. It's about 80% complete systems-wise and under 50% in terms of content. The combat alpha for TJS made me realize that my plan of being able to initiate combat almost everywhere requires tools for generating environmental combat data or I'll never get it done, so I spent time on my tile generator logic, determining walkable sides automatically, where magnetized boots can work, etc. etc. Doing that by hand meant one combat area took me a ridiculous amount of time to make. I'm still doing specialized combat areas, but not every fight has to be a set piece. In fact, that's something I wish to avoid.
