Reply to Elemental: The dream in Elemental Dev Journals Demigod Forums

Wow. Some of the hostility toward modding, and especially ai modding, leaves me really confused . I think support for modding is fantastic, and is one of the really positive things about the pc gaming community. Has anyone else here enjoyed and appreciated playing a mod for a game? A mod that complete strangers have poured their time, energy, and passion into, and then released free of charge? I'm not ashamed to admit that I have. Perh

Reply to Elemental: The dream in Elemental Dev Journals Demigod Forums

Hi Frogboy, the idea to open up as much of the elemental engine to modding is a fantastic idea. We've seen some great mods grow into full commercial games over the years from the Quake / Unreal / Source modding communities so it would be lovely if a similar thing could happen for strategy gaming. Have you thought about how licencing of the Elemental engine / SDK etc might play out, or is this still a bit too early to speculate? re: python I've been using

Reply to STEAM in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

[quote who="azianinvazn" reply="22" id="2311092"]Can u simply allow demigod to be openned with steam and impulse at the same time. I find it annoying when i have to alt tab to see a msg sent to me from steam instead of openning it ingame. And since the game randomly crashes when you alt tab, this is a problem.[/quote] don't try to run demigod via steam, simply run it in a window. then you dont need to alt-tab.

[quote who="Polynomial #10 and rest of " reply="10" id="2312337"]Thing is, making Yeti's better doesn't necessarily make Sedna play better. If she takes Yeti's instead of Heal, or healing wind, or pounce, then the only time she would be 'better' is if the change to the new better Yeti's were more effective than the current pounce/heal/wind combo she has going on.[/quote] Of course. Conversely, at present you could probably remove all yeti related skills from the game and leave the bal

[quote who="Aroddo" reply="8" id="2312260"] I agree that Sedna is one of the stronger Demigods. But her self-heal build is so overpowered compared to any minion build of hers that Yetis are nearly obsolete. So it does make sense to improve her minion tree, just for the sake of variety, not for the sake of making her even stronger. [/quote] I agree wholeheartedly with the philosophy here. If a game is offering you a choice between a number of options, they should all be inter

Reply to Heroes of Newerth (HoN), League of Legends (LoL), DotA, Demigod - videos, facts, discussion in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

We have permission to talk about the game now, eh? I gave HoN a very brief try - thanks to Synapsis for the beta invite. I was expecting something similar to Demigod - inspired by DotA but with its own take on the art and maps and maybe some new or different core gameplay mechanics - but, alas, no. I started laughing when I realised they'd even cloned the map. I couldn't bring myself to even try to finish a round. Perhaps this is reactionary, superficial, unfair - but I have no desire

[quote who="Stone_McPhone" reply="3" id="2307231"] On the subject of random teams I think the major issue here is that it will not fix the issue if 1 out of the 6 is still significantly worse than the rest and also will make it harder to play with friends which a lot of players really enjoy doing.

Reply to DRM and my brief review of Spore in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I think the comments by Kieron Gillen really hit the nail on the head. Here's his opening point: Spore is a four hour character creator for a polished version of Space Rangers 2. That said, I'm finding that I actually enjoy the process of progressing a wacky new race of critters up to the space stage more than I enjoy the space stage itself (although I did compl

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment Announced! in Sins News Sins Forums

The content / cost ratio of these micro expansions sounds disproportionately low, especially when compared to what was delivered in the original game. $10 for two new orbital structures and some turret upgrades? You're joking, right? From my point of view, this does make the "The Gamers Bill of Rights" seem a little farcical, perhaps point 3 should be altered to read: iii) Gamers shall have the right to expect to be charged at cynically high prices for any meaningful

I guess I'm not being entirely fair. Theoretical physics has developed a fair bit of interesting mathematics as a side effect, and I can hardly fault that. Going off off topic, I never really got into the GalCiv games, despite losing years of my life to Master of Orion 2.

Reply to The Balance Theory in Everything Else Sins Forums

Maybe I misinterpreted your remark about drawing a similarity between the big bang and the " 'all out of nothing' scenario". At least to me, the statement "all out of nothing" only makes some kind of sense if you assume that there is some underlying passing of time. I agree that cyclical models have a certain intuitive appeal, but our intuition is based only on prior human experience, and demonstrably fails pretty badly when it comes to physical scenarios that are well outside the real

re: Bodyless [quote]And last but not least: if you believe in something, why cant you do it silently?[/quote] I'll have to disagree with you here - I believe the sharing of beliefs can actually be quite a positive and constructive process, as long as everyone involved has an open mind and is receptive to having their own thinking challenged. If some of your beliefs don't hold up to criticism, it's not the end of the world, it's an opportunity to revise or replace them with something
