Anyone play StoneShard? How is it?

more like stoneshart lmao

you fuck
Unfinished but sold as finished.
As a game it's alright, gameplay isn't straightforward enough to be boring so there's that.
Shitty Early Access game.
>tile based with mouse movement
fuck this shit
I wanted to sit back and relax with a controller
I want to buy because I'm a huge sucker for this type of art-style but I'm not sure it has enough content in it. Also pre-made characters are kind of a turn off. But I'm definetely keeping an eye on, I have it wishlisted and on follow.
It's in an extremely unfinished state and it's foundations are pretty shitty. Likely permanent EA snake oil. There are better roguelikes on steam. Play cogmind
it has randomised dungeons and that means its a rogue like now? Is Diablo 3 a rogue like as well?
Apparently it has no save-on-exit feature. You quit and you lose your progress.
>is
It's right up Pokemon mystery dungeon fags alley
Really promising and real roguelike but early access. Put it on the graveyard that is your steam wishlist and check in a year.
Yes, you have to save at an inn if you're going to save at all. The game informs you of this right after you gain control of your character.
It has randomized layouts, movement is tilebased and the game is turnbased. Yes it is a roguelike.
Could be good, wait for it to get along a bit first, early access is always rough.
It 100% meets the Berlin interpretation. Its literally a straight up copy of ToME with shitty zoomer survival elements.
Did they add save on quit yet or is it still a joke?
Diablo was modeled after a roguelike called Moria. (Proto-angband) If it was turnbased and had permadeath it would be a roguelike.
I played about 30 hours of it before the new update. It's bland. Just wait until 2021 before buying it.
Fuck off, Stoneshard dev team. The game sucks because the dev team can' t make a full release in a reasonable time. A game shouldn't be alpha for years just to get gaymer cuck bucks.
What's worse is that you move slower with numpad. They made a roguelike and priotized mouse over keyboard. It makes no sense.
zoomers btfo
>not relaxing in a Roman patrician position with a mouse and keyboard
Gaypad kiddies truly have a lower IQ and no creativity.
ahahahahahahaha how fucking young are you
ATTENTION
Your saves will break with every major update until release. Don't bother until the game is officially released.
Bro there is no way it will be in a playable state by 2021. Development is slow as molasses. This is what happens when you priotize retarded graphics shit over game design. The coding is just straight up rotten. It should be trivial to add something to a game like this.
Wait for a few more "big" patches.
The game is enjoyable but even if it didn't cost me a lot I did all there is to do in that game in about 10-15 hours
Wait till the whole game is like the free demo, that's what I'm doing.
No roguelike has ever has anything this stupid. Nethack had save on exit in the 80s, it could even store your save on a public server.
Oof. Thanks for the warning
>The fucking zoomer eating mechanics every 2-3 mins.
>the hassle of applying splints after every time you enter combat, followed by a painkiller and detox
>if you dont start as a ranger to hunt animals for their fur you wont have money for any of the above
>jewish vendors, nothing of what you sell is worth shit but their stuff is
>durability hit on gear even for walking, a fortune to fix up, everything requires a lot of walking
Yeah I'm thinking this game is shit
>started making a roguelike in python 2 weeks ago
>already farther along than stoneshard
They really are retards.
also no character creation
the game is fun tho
Alright then lets see it, if its further along it should be playable, and most importantly, actually good. Stoneshard is good, its just blatantly unfinished.
You havent gotten far enough into the game to be really annoyed by its glaring flaws.
When did hunger mechanics become zoomer? Also, if you want money go to a lower danger level dungeon before accepting a contract and clear it.
>Stoneshard is good
No it isnt
I can't fuck tavern whores like a proper medieval merc so it's shit.
So are you the person that I was quoting and claiming your roguelike is better or are you some fucking idiot that came into a thread to talk about something they dont like.
You seem upset. Are you the dev?
>maybe
Ha, their save system is beyond fucked, every change will break it even after release.
Enjoy it while it lasts, this is the best part.
The thread is asking if stoneshard is good, he answered that question.
Are you an autistic fanboy or the developer?
>When did hunger mechanics become zoomer?
2013
I just wanted to see anons game you faggot. If its further along than this I wanted to see that, if its better than Stoneshard even better.
Call me when it will have at least half amount of content of base tome without expansions.
Y'all know there is a demo right?
Just try it out first. duh
It only went early access like a few months ago lol
Eating and durability mechanics are definitely zoomer tier popularized by zoomer games like ark and the many other shitty survival games that got released with it.
if this is a roguelike then that's mental midgetry as the whole point of a roguelike is that you can't save scum by quitting without saving to reload an older save
so either this game fucking deletes your entire data if you dare to quit without an inn or you can save scum
Its promising nothing special now and its still missing ALOT of features that are coming soon TM, id wait until its further down the development/out of ea.
But it is good, now Im goin to mention gameplay facets and how its good and not finished and you are going to say "shill" or "no its bad". So Im just going to call you a faggot. Faggot.
>if you arent joining in and treating something that isnt perfect as a 0/10 then you are a fanboy or X, Y and Z buzzword
Great.
It's a Russian dev from St. Petersburg.
Expect a good game eventually, and naturally Chernobyl programming with paranormal anomalies riddling it.
>tome
>content
Lul it's just the same shitty dungeons over and over with Diablo loot. It's fcb for normies.
I dunno what this is but that's a cute town drunk.
This. It turns to shit literally after this
Sort of not very good.
>Unfinished but sold as finished.
the page clearly says early access
It turns to shit after the tutorial? Elaborate.
If you are the one who posted this then you are not far enough into the game to say its good or bad, your opinion is moot
The tutoriel is scripted, the actual game is not. It's snake oil.
>It turns to shit after the tutorial? Elaborate.
You know how some games are good games? This game isn't one of those.
Cogmind is EA and has been a complete game since before it was on steam. All that is left is balancing and bonus modes. Stoneshard is basically a tech demo.
Stoneshard is shit. Here is some good roguelikes:
>nethack
>sil-q
>infra arcana
>cogmind
>frogcomposband
>brogue
>frozen depths
>demon
>keeperrl
Figuratively, not literally.
They treat it as a finished game but hide behind the fact that it is unfinished to avoid trouble with how barebones it is.
What we see in the game right now is probably what we'll get at the end product.
Heres the thing user, that isnt me. The demo is short, I stopped playing ages ago because there is no content, not because it was a bad game. Its something to keep an eye on.
In the tutorial you're an ok character competent enough for interesting combat and it has good voice acting. After that you start a baby character and everything can wipe you, and if you dont die you just have to consume 10 items just to slowly not die. No voice acting anymore, no game direction. Punishes you while not feeling rewarding. It's just garbage. That said I havent played in a month
