#BuildCrafting
Who wants to be part of a new "Buildcrafter's League" starter pack?

Both devs and players who post about games/buildcrafting. Digital & Table-top inclusive.

Trying to widen the community of humans and there are already a lot of great starter packs for Zero-AI devs.

Path of Exile buildcrafting has got me so hooked that i am looking into trying to get the stats for a unique on a character that i am playing in standard, who probably won't ever hit the base level requirement anyway because i don't plan to take them into maps.

if the article isn't showing their D&D character sheets I don't wanna hear how they can't be charismatic and smart, real life isn't buildcrafting/minmaxxing.

Hey, we are making a action tower defense game that aims to try to salvage the barren design of the endless survivors-pick-3-styled roguelikes with complex systems, no grinding or slot-machine-adjacent stuff, and truly creative buildcrafting:

Also speaking of @dataerase.bsky.social, shout-outs for Labyrinth.OS

Really good retro style Shin Megami Tensei-like. Tough, complex systems, wacky buildcrafting possible, very queer.

Also somehow made in RPG Maker. You may need to do some Steam controller mapping to play it with a gamepad.

Ah jeez this games got some cool buildcrafting stuff

Oh jeez, I didn't even notice all the early access stuff..

Deadzone out today (trad roguelike from Caiysware!), and Void/Breaker out on Wednesday. Really good, ultra-destructive FPS roguelike with silly buildcrafting.

You heal by dropping buildings on enemies.

sure, as long as you don't mind me yapping about warframe buildcrafting

Extremely nice in FF Resonance to at least give everyone equal XP regardless of participation, so you're given leeway to swap around. In this context I like it as a buildcrafting element--everyone is narratively around, but I have options for expression in how I build the combat machine

Dungeon Munchies 2 launches (into early access) this week! Really liked the first one - it had some raw, rough edges but it was basically a buildcrafting action-RPG stapled to one of those wacky webcomics that gets increasingly serious and concerned for its cast until it becomes fully earnest.

Just rolled credits on Control Resonant. Good lord, what a game. Consistently astonishing to look at, a soundtrack that’ll blow your head off, rock solid gameplay with a ton of buildcrafting options, and a fantastic story.

May Remedy keep doing what they do so well for many, many years to come.

one of the things i wish the TD genre played with more is the PVZ style limited capacity for what towers you have at a given moment as opposed to full access to everything, i think that along with economy management it creates a pretty interesting buildcrafting dynamic when taken far enough

Potentially hot GM take, I kinda love session zero

It's a good vibe to just be hanging around, brainstorming and figuring out mechanics and buildcrafting

WE HAVE ACTUAL BUILDCRAFTING? PLAYER AGENCY OVER GEAR STATS????????? IN FINAL FANTASY FOURTEEN???????????????????

Gather your friends, play bot matches until you're all comfortable with the game's quadfecta of combat-buildcrafting-game knowledge-coordination, then slowly start dipping your toes into unranked matches with those friends. Start playing more without them gradually and eventually it'll feel right.

Final Fantasy Resonance caught me completely by surprise. I haven't gotten this sucked into buildcrafting in a FF game since probably FF8's juncture system, which I actually really liked quite a bit.

The 2D/3D art works so, so well and the whole thing just oozes charm and nostalgia in the best way.

on another topic WoW Forever cant get here fast enough imo
i crave mmo bullshit with a purpose to leveling multiple characters and trying new things
like xiv is good but focuses way more on the story over most other things like buildcrafting and world exploration which is the flavor i crave rn

BREAKINGING MY DPS RECORD with a new Hunting Horn Build!

You kept reading because you wanted to know what the build was, didn't you? All in time Hunters.

The real trick to buildcrafting is finding the perfect balance of Damage Skills without sacrificing your longevity in the Hunt.

It's made me realize not just in PF and WF, but retroactively throughout my gaming experiences how many people seem to think high-end buildcrafting not only entitles them to greater rewards, but how many people can't reconcile what they actually hope to achieve from that endless escalation of power.

Resonance did really cool stuff with Exvius' remains. The Visions work more like Jobs/Stands now, so you're getting a little buildcrafting in the mix. I have been glued to this game since Thursday. I'd love to see this team turn more dead gachas into great single-player games at this rate

Veilguard had a lot of problems in my opinion, but it had good guts. The gameplay loop was fun but lacked the depth for real buildcrafting. The writing was sometimes stellar, sometimes atrocious.

I can’t excuse just barely mentioning the Chantry.

Tbc I played and beat Veilguard and all other DAs

DO THIS FIRST before copying a meta build in Monster Hunter

Meta spreadsheets for optimal Builds can be useful and informative, but performance in the Hunt is only as the Hunter who wields it.

Buildcrafting teaches you how to understand key synergies between skills and why they matter.

answer 1: let them. the tension between a broken vs worthless build is what makes buildcrafting interesting

answer 2: rig the rolls such that you can always reach a strong build

answer 3: identify the items most commonly used in "barely limping along" runs and buff them
