Fledgling Fyora Tyses101 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Spiderweb needs to recreate geneforge with console support and make it look like diablo 3 where instead of skills you can shape your creations in the quick bar.. thoughts?

Garrulous Glaahk Vinlie Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 That could work but why would you want to play Geneforge on a console in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan googoogjoob Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Personally, I think Geneforge should be remade as an FPS. Triumph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The thought of Jeff learning to code for another platform. *snicker* ROFL Thanks, I needed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Tyses101 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 LEMME UPDATE I got this idea while playing the necromancer dlc for diablo 3 because it’s based around using undead minions/ creations to fight for you while you attack from a distance of course there are other character setups where you may choose to not use minions and get up close buttt lately I’ve been thinking about how bad this game needs a remake, new creatures , special commands , (be able to build your own base and set up sharper defenses while npc or automated enemy factions try to raid you) , targeting controls from shaper to creation. Really there is no other game like this out there anywhere , YOU NEED TO START GETTING THIS RDY FOR FULL VR, biggest game ever , SHAPING LIFE, I don’t see how no one else sees this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, even if it was in 3d, it's very doubtful that Spiderweb would ever go to the extra effort and expense of making the game VR-capable, as it would almost certainly not net enough extra sales to be worth it. Only two Spiderweb games have ever been ported to Linux for this reason. 39 minutes ago, Tyses101 said: Really there is no other game like this out there anywhere , … biggest game ever , SHAPING LIFE, Remember Spore?

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, googoogjoob said: and is irreconcilable with the design of the game. *Cough cough* I dare to disagree with that. However... Diablo is a veeeeeeeery different game than GForge. One is an enjoyable (for those that like the genre) hack-an-slash while the other is a game with complex morals, exploration, a deep story, learning about the world etc. Geneforge is not, and IMO should not, be a diablo-like game where you just lead a bunch of creation to battle through large dungeons. But to say that "be able to build your own base and set up sharper defenses while npc or automated enemy factions try to raid you" is incompatible with the game is ignoring the power of modding. It is perfectly doable (I have two mods about it) but certainly not in a Diablo-like way. Edited November 20, 2018 by alhoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Many of the games can be finished without landing a single blow. I think there are people that have done it. As such, they would make pretty boring doom \ diablo games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan googoogjoob Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Jeff Vogel pulls a Robots and Empire, awkwardly fusing together his totally incompatible fictional universes in a way that makes each of them, individually, poorer. It is revealed that Erika, Ghaldring, and Redbeard were all R. Daneel Olivaw in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
