Playing Encased, which is a Fallout/Wasteland/Underrail -like RPG. I wish there were guides that gave an idea of what skills/abilities you need, but it looks like having 1 combat skill and some good non-combat skills is really it. Although every skill has a "tree" of options you get for every 30 points you have in it, and ~half of them require another skill or stat. Plus weird talents/perks for having a 1 in a stat.

Anyway, I'm trying stuff out and my new character is a 'former' criminal. As such, I started with electronic handcuffs. I walked into the mission briefing with a pile of salvaged electronics instead.

Encased is a lot better than i thought it would be according to some reviews, they were probably old and the game got some improvement since then i guess.
Currently in Magellan with my Black Wing character and a lot happened, if all the locations are as worked on as this one the game is really big.

I like the Fallout-like travel on the world map with your party stopping to random event or random encounter between defined locations, give some old school RPG feel . And the mix between the Stalker universe and post apocalyptic setting is also very well done and deliver a good atmosphere.

Yeah. The major complaint I have is that pickpocketing blocks waiting (not a problem) while it's active, and takes 1 real-ass hour for the victim to calm down. In tight quarters, so you can reasonably sneak by them to keep playing the game.

The rest of it is awesome.

Depth of Extinction is pretty cheap on Steam right now.

It's a very good XCOM-like with less basebuilding and much snappier missions. Pretty easy to play for a few hours and still have more to find. Only complaints is enemy variety, at a certain point, you're fighting androids 100% of the time, and it gets tiresome. Unit progression is fun and equipment is impactful. Difficulty scaling is very good in the current state.

This was also in the giant Itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality (and maybe some of the other ones), so if you're interested, check if you picked that up first.

[delphonso]

Yeah, I got it in an itch bundle (that one or something about Palestinian relief) a while ago and it's been sitting on my computer ever since. Just getting binges of 20 hours of play, then left alone again. (I'm on a binge now.)

Someone started remaking Skyrim in RPG Maker so they had enough images to really make the joke work. Then, they just kept going.

The aggressive eyeshadow is a strong bit.

Skyrim seems like it'd be to big to put in RPG maker without braking it.

[scriver]

To be fair, skyrim was to big to put in skyrim without breaking it

[Frumple]

Skyrim seems like it'd be to big to put in RPG maker without braking it.

Skyrim's not really that large, iirc... bit smaller than oblivion, much smaller than daggerfall or arena. Considering how RPG Maker/a tile based 2d game compresses space, it probably wouldn't actually have that much trouble with something the size of Skyrim so far as the raw space goes. Later generation RPG maker engines seem to be fairly robust, too, for what that's worth (so long as the developer(s) behind it are sufficiently competent).

It'd be more effort than it's probably worth and likely subject to an eventual copyright claim, but mechanically it's probably feasible.

Never tried it myself but there was an Elder Scroll fan game (made with RPG Maker) using a Daggerfall island : Betony
https://jamesdomusgames.itch.io/the-elder-scrolls-betony
Betony was also the location of one of the 3 early Daggerfall demos.

There was another one , also with RPG Maker called "Arena VX"

Went to a thrift store and bought a few CDs for real cheap.  Battle Chess, Corridor 7, Trump Castle 2, Return to Zork.  Of these I've played Corridor 7 before in its entirety, and I had the floppy disk version of Battle Chess as a kid but not the CD version.

For some reason, I had a sudden urge to play this game again. Upon checking the website for it to see what's happened in the several years that I last played it, I discover that Freecol version 1.0, the open-source freemake of Colonization, was released today.
