https://youtu.be/LjS40-isk0s?si=HHX4Y8Voc93PDWX2New art, player-designed characters and a new playable character. Thoughts?
would've been a neat free update. not worth paying money for
>>683847059It's not 2005 anymore. Can't say I'm excited
>>683847059too little too late
>>683847059I wish they made a sequel instead.
Finaly my time to shine
>>683847918Maybe they’ll make one and this is a sign.
>>683848459They just wasted full redesign that should happen for a sequel, to a simple dlc you will play in the same map and boss
Best theme coming through.https://youtu.be/VK_mZFdo-hY?si=hg601-_HD_1UGpJ-
>>683847059Looks solid, I was thinking of coming back, guess this gives me a reason
>>683847059No new content, no real reason to pick up the game again
>>683847918I think they spent a long-ass time on invasion and I'm not sure it did super well. They probably don't have the funds to go straight into developing some new IP which is why they're laying out a path for themselves that includes updating their older popular titles.Also there's no way they get Stamper back for the new Battleblock content, right? It's going to either be old unused recordings or they'll introduce a new narrator I assume.
we might get more pink knight gay porn this time
>>683849609They used a new guy in the trailer, Stamper is gone
>>683849778>>683849609Is Stamper living under a bridge somewhere now?
>>683847059Ehhhhhhhh, nah. Sad part is I'd be more excited to play a "remaster" with the new art style, some new levels, and maybe some new mechanics or something
>>683848557It probably took Dan only a week tops to draw all of the characters
>>683849778That new guy was just the voice of Dan Paladin, wasn't it? And Stamper's voice was still in it so they didn't do something stupid like completely remove him.
>>683847059could they not have added more levels or something? Like straying across the map. Would be much better
I've just already played it so many times already I don't think I could come back it. A totally new Castle Crashers 2 could be great but og Castle Crashers for the 100th time featuring hand drawn Glorp Shitto from the Steam Workshop doesn't do it for me
Are they trying to get new sales so they can start on making Pit People 2?
>>683849832He's apparently active on Instagram but I haven't bothered checking. He's probably just a normie working as a plumber or something these days.
It's honestly surprising they didn't do something like this sooner, their method of making characters lends itself well to modding.
the heads are too big in the updated versionlooks too bobble head like
This is my chance to become a mod creator without having to learn anything too hard
Which characters do you predict will be in the workshop on day one?
>>683851323
Why are they trying to revive a dead ancient game completely out of the blue?
>>683850998The head size is fine for me, it's the swaying from side to side that makes it look weird, like a bobblehead like you saidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjS40-isk0s&t=41s
I wish they took a page from invasion and added a mode with randomly generated waves of enemies with different upgrades and objectives; new characters are fun but at the end of the day you're playing the same levels.
>>683851323Hank, maybe even Sanford and Deimos
>>683848557or it could be a test run to see how people react to the possible design style they have in mind for a sequel before they full commit
>>683851579Bethesda is floundering because zoomers don't know who they are and invasion flopped
>>683851579They did say they had more things coming, many things in development, my guess is a CC sequel is one of those things. Maybe a stretch, but with how many have been asking for it it'd be really stupid not to do it eventually
>>683851159I better see your XJ9 mod on the workshop shortly after release.
>>683851593yeah true ive actually warmed up to it a bit, but its the head size on the custom characters that looks off, theyre packing some necc, unless of course thats a variable that can be edited
>>683847059Am I retarded for buying Castle Crushers even though I have no one to play with?
I assume magic will just be picking from existing spells
>>683851808Nah. It's the same as any beat em up. it's best with friends but it's still totally playable by yourself
>>683847059not gonna lie, that looks very cool.wish they would make more games
>>683851323>>683851431>>683851510>>683851534>>683851631all their proposals are correct, but let's be realistic for a second and accept that all of them are going to be dethroned by this one character who will dominate the market and be top one forever.
>>683848557yeah they could have made a whole ass sequel out of it.
>>683851914>implying zoomers will care about a game that's older than them
>>683851987zoomers are 28 years old anon
>that guy who never levels defense and expects you to revive him 14 times per level
>>683851886If we're lucky they'll let us change up the animations, but it probably is just from all extant spells.
>>68385203028 year olds arent watching skibidi toilettheres literally no overlap between zoomer culture and castle crashers newgrounds shityoure either really reaching (and wrong) or baiting, i say its the latter
>>683852051>That guy who always picks the blue knight so he can freeze people during the duels
I'm moderately interested, probably gonna wait a month to see what gets put on the workshop, and then decide if I want it.I haven't played castle crashers in years and have no one to play it with though so I might decide against just for that reason.
>>683852134You're using zoomer as shorthand for kid. But Gen Z aren't kids anymore. Skibidi toilet is a Generation Alpha phenomenon.
>>683847059Sovless
>>683852276nobody cares zoomer it's all the same kind of subhuman
>>683847059This game was never good
>>683852391I hope your wife's boyfriend lets you play the switch next time
>>683852030>>683852134It's only zoomers that seethe about skibidi toilet, i've been around before gmod idiot box and montage parodies and zoomers seem to only seethe about skibidi toilet, it's the same shit as before but with more views because literally everyone over the age of 2 is on the internet now
>>683847059okaybut there is no new contentand the gameplay is too simple for 2024huge waste of ressourcelayoff soon
>>683852864it's literally just Dan drawing pictures, this update took him like 2 days.the programmers are still scratching their head for their next game since AH Invasion flopped hard and Dan needs shit to do in the meantime
They are desperate after that shitty ass alien hominid game
>>683852051>He chooses to play with faggots like himNo one to blame but yourself
>>683851323If not then the old newgrounds community has truly died.
The new style is picrel for me
I love Castle Crashers!I'm modelling the Pink Knight :3
>>683853232Post more you little slut
>>683850161https://sakurafantasy.newgrounds.com/art
>>683851323The real question is how are they going to deal with all the dick shaped characters.
>>683851323I vow to make one character with utmost quality
>>683853365https://files.catbox.moe/mmbp5p.jpgIt's a WIP I havent touched in monthsAlso I'm not a slut...
>>683854102good work anon. will masturbate to her tits later
>>683853102Pico is more popular than ever with Friday Night Funkin'
>>683847059"redrawn" characters lose their very essence.
>>683854102do you have a side profile?
>>683854102W-Wow, thanks...>>683854594@ssouthernlion
>>683855023thanks but i meant a side profile of the pink knight
>>683847059Not buying it
DLC because CC was their last relevant game.
>>683849832He's living with Garbage and the rest of the rabies ridden foxes in an urban area full of minorities. Basically it's over
So the workshop updates means new fan made characters? So basically truly making the game endlessly replayable since the appeal of CC was always going through the game with new characters to max them to level 99.
>>683858290Unless there's just one level that applies to all workshop characters
>>683858290>So basically truly making the game endlessly replayableSwapping out a few .pngs >endlessly replayableyou must be the same kind of Low IQ, who falls for rogueslop "content".
>>683858290Unless you actually get some freedom with the magic system I see the CC characters being super samey. They didn't touch upon how stuff like magic hitboxes are gonna work for creators.
>>683847059DLC for this game after all these years? WTF are they thinking? Are that many still playing this game?
>>683853232Do the universe a favor and give her black skin and her nipples neon pink. You have lightning in a bottle with this
>>683859252Castle Crashers is one of the most replayable indie games ever made and it isn't rogueslop. Cope seethe mald piss shit
>>683848459I will buy day one. This game revived the beat 'em up genre and deserves all the praise in the world for that alone.
>pure kino design >shit magic I'll never forgive Dan or Tom.
The redrawn characters can be toggled on or off.
>>683859874Well there was 4k players last I checked, and that was just a few hours ago, there's usually a consistent few hundred when there's not a sale going on. Many games hope to even get that much daily
>>683851323I kinda want the mercs. They crossed over so damn much in that era.
>>683851665>invasion flopped*counteroffensyiv flopped
>>683847059Did they finally update the Steam version to be the new version that's on modern consoles?
>>683851323I have hope
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpSskCG7i6E
>>683847059The newgrounds artstyle fucking sucks and beat em ups are one of the shittiest genres out there. I don't understand why people are trying to astroturf a 20 year old flash game.
>last game flops>return to the old, good shit>remembering now how edgy and cool newgrounds seemed when I found it in mid 2000'sThis game is great and hopefully this is building up towards a sequel like others have said. Games try too hard now, this was easy and fun. I'm glad they shit the bed. Desperation can lead to great things, sometimes.
>>683860928Same reason that you're trying to pretend it wasn't good 20 years later.
>Castle Crashers is 16 years oldThey should have just made a CC2, not because I dislike the idea of new DLC but so I wouldn't be reminded of how long it's been since the game came out
>>683860752The version on modern consoles IS the Steam version you silly nigger.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YeYaFJZH44g
>>683860945Nah, Invasion buckbroke them, they wont even try a sequel now, CC is their skyrim now and they will just shill yearly remasters instead of making new games.Behemoth is indie bethesda now basically
>>683861054You're on /v/ instead of playing it because it sucks.
>>683861086>>683861281You never know, they could be trying to buy back some goodwill with fans before shoving another new game on them and expecting them to pay for it. I know it's expecting a lot but them doing this for CC shows they at least know how to bring people back.
>>683859970You're fucking idiot.every playthrough is the same. the characters are glorified skins with slightly different magic, which is rarely different in any tangible way.
>>683853102Pico is very popular among gay teenagers
>>683861796The fans never left, they just didn’t want a shitty rts or a rougeshit from them.
>>683847059Anything but making insane mode not ass
>>683847850Thisnis why pink is my favorite knigh kek
Castle crashers was always carried by its soundtrack which was just random newgrounds composers wasn't it?
>>683849758Based if true
>>683862171Alien Hominid 2 was so ass bro. Still can’t believe they thought that shit was good.
>>683851534>ice magic>frozen frog shield>advent cirno sword or her soku ice one>just advent cirno as a concept againDunno how her wings can be recreated but it would be kino
>>683862558Right, why didn’t they just make a normal 4 hour campaign with cool soundtrack and locations, it would sell more than what they did.Im worried about CC2 if they decide to go the same route with it, they have made 2 shit games already
>>683847059>Not using The Painter's TTS voiceThey had one job.
No custom magic is a big shame, hope they back pedal on it even if it """breaks""" the game.Idk why they are pretending the main campaign isnt a joke once you have enough levels with any character.
>>683862863It’s still TTS, just the modern version.
think they will let us customize enemies and sfx?
>>683851159A lot of games with workshop support are brainless to mod.But I guess this is going the next level as an implemented feature in-game, kind of like battleblock's custom levels.
>>683863670I think it's just going to be the knights.
Invasion is worth a playthroughIt kicked my ass until I finally lucked into a vampire laser sword build that nearly gave me infinite hp as long as I kept attacking
>>683853545Mixing CC with Sailor Moon is the most schizokino fanwork idea one could possibly imagine.Dunno how to feel about the weird yaoi tho
>>683864446If you don't have an account you probably can't see how she's also drawn a ton of A-rated gay smut between them all.
>>683862171Well making shit like that is how you lose fans it sounds like. They wanted to try something different and failed, can't blame them. Designers always seem to want to do more when fans usually just happy with sequels and gameplay improvements.
>>683864654this is my favorite kind of autism
>>683864654>>683864907How can one woman be so based
>>683847059we're so backwhat knight are you, anons?Red lightning enjoyers, report.
>>683860945>towards a sequelThe Behemoth have a strict no sequels policy so that is highly unlikely
>>683865262But muh necromancer....
>>683852051>takes damage
>>683865262I can't tell if the lukewarm reception to invasion is going to drive them further towards or further away from direct sequels desu
>>683862863they should have had the Painter speak how he normally does only to immediately be drowned out by the modern TTS like it's an interpreter
>>683865262they just made a sequel
>>683860945What was their last game? Battleblock Theater was pretty good, desu
>just replace the headOh, so it's like how Battleblock Theater worked. I remember replacing heads in the files to make custom characters in that game, too. I suppose the new art style is supposed to make it look more natural with a custom head.
so do you think they're going to redo the painter boss' fight voicelines with that new VA from the trailer, or will they keep him using that robotic synthesized voice?could be cool if they have it be that he uses the original robo-voice if you're playing with the original artstyle, and the new VA if you're using the redone style.
>>683867673actually is his new voice even a VA? it might just be some modern TTS or something now that i relisten to it.
>>683867673they stated the new voice was just for the trailer>>683867796think they stated they just used an ai voice for the painter boss in the trailer
>>683852441microplastics
>>683850161>>683853545>>683864446what in the...
>>683847165Pretty sure it's a free DLC, some game mix the term update and DLC.It would be a horrible and stupid move to block the whole steam workshop behind a paywall, no one would want to pay for it
>>683853232>>683854102nta but you're a slut for posting THIS and nearly making me ruin my nofap streak
>want to mod something >Realizes i'm that fucking lazy to even retexture an ennemi in Pizza tower
>>683868370The random 2000s fujo porn is funny but the true cringekino comes from the FULLY VOICE ACTED and ANIMATED fan made OVA series.
>>683868850I am not seeking that out on purpose, I need my fractured soul to recover
>>683867606I liked Battleblock Theater and Pit People.
>>683868995yeah its definitely a lot to swallow in unironically compared the porn stuff she is done somehow
>>683869389Fujos need rape correction
>>683852391He destroyed you and this is all you can say in response? Jesus millennial are so cucked
>>683868562Description says it's paid. Did you even click the link?
>>683865224I'm partial to Blue Knight since I like the element more, but the main lightening spell from Red is awesome.
>>683847059This trailer couldn't get enough of its own farts
>>683869770I think its the strongest since it can deal continuous damage to a high amount of enemies if they all line up in front of you.
>>683869770Red probably has the most unique and damage dealing splash magic in the game.I really wish pink's(my personal favorite) splash was as competent as his....
sex. with beefies.
>>683868687This will be easier, even the most basic pizza tower enemies had like 20 frames of animation to replace.
I always thought the painter boss had rabbit ears, why am I only just now realizing it's a white ballcap?
>>683869641Of course I did you retarded tranny. It says free. Did YOU click the link?
>>683871539Damn blown the fuck out
What's the most meta possible magic set? Industrialist splash attack + blue knight light attack?
>>683868687DamnI could put Gerome in Castle CrashersThat's sick
>>683871539NTA, but...
>>683871826Wait wait, so is it free or is it paid?Maybe the character is paid since that's how DLC works?
>>683860645I plan on making a mod for at least one merc
>>683871653yeah something like that, Snakey/Brute Splash even
>>683871653The Meta is the one that makes you the most happy.
The trailer they animated for the road map was cute
Man fellas I can't wait to make some stupid fucking custom characters.
>>683875690I wonder how the automatic animation they reference actually worksProbably just slightly stretches it back and forth to simulate a shaking head I guess
I hope Painter Jr. Comes to consoles at least.... i can live without the workshop... but a new official character is always nice.
He's so fucking cool bros, how does he do it?
>>683876170>cool edgelord design>cool magic>cool sword>hyped up throughout the story >badass boss theme>best boss fight in the game>still aliveHe’s just cool.
>>683876414Necromancer is simply too based
Since Paint Jr is shown wielding a pencil rather than a paintbrush, I bet his magic will be to summon those drawings above him to fight with him.
Meh who cares, replayed it a few weeks ago and it really didn't age well. Gave lost castle 2 a try and it pretty much wipes the floor with it.CC needs a proper sequel, roguelite or not. Only thing it has going for it is nostalgia at this point.
>>683876414>>683876170He’d be a perfect main villain for a sequel. He’s much more fondly remembered than the actual main villain
>>683855023Oh, you're the dude that made the Cheese princess model. Cool running into you again
>People will use AI art to spam the community catalog>No option to customize magic art and animationsIt's not gonna turn out well.
>>683850161>>683853545Based Fujo
>>683847059So, first they release a free HD update for the game, and now they're revamping the graphics a third time? Why don't they make a new game instead?
If they make a sequel, they’d better let us use the custom characters from this DLC.
>>683852276straightup dont careill amend my comment then, "generation alpha" dont care about castle crashers or newgrounds shityoure still wrong
>>683876170>>683876414Headcanon he sounds like Invader Zim.
New style looks so incosequencial that it might as well not exist. Hope it can be turned off.
Reminder Adventure time stole Ice King from Castle Crashers so to make things even the sequel antagonist should be a Lich.
>>683847059Literally got super fucking excited when they said dlc for this game
It's a cool idea but I already 100%'d the game on 360 back in the day and on PC.Not really looking to jump back into CC just to play through it as someones OC sentient cock character. Why the fuck didn't they make more levels?>beat painter>go back to the port level>painter is there with his own ship>hop on>sails you to an island in the southNot hard to imagine up a premise.
Did people even watch the Announcement?They had updates and releases planned for all games, plus a new game is in the works.I imagine this entire update is just to garner some attention again for the release of the actual new game.
>>683883340Yeah but there’s no guarantee that the new game is CC2.
>>683847059No fucking way.I love the painte->it's about making OC not having the Painter as playableToo bad, still neat thou->we DO get to play PainterBased. >it's not a DLC actually it's just an announcement about workshopDouble based.Now make Pit People not shit.
>>683851987>>683852134I'm a 22 zoomer, man.I've known about Castle Crashers since I was a kid, played it a solid 6-7 times and I think I got every character, pet and weapon. And I also do watch Skibidi Toilet. It's pretty cool.
>>683883626After they spent a century making Alien Hominid Invasion and it not performing super well they're probably hurting for money. They'd basically be committing suicide if their new game isn't Castle Crashers 2.
>>683847059is it 2010
I still have never been able to beat this game in extreme mode or whatever it's called. either the Necromancer or the final boss filtered me into giving up
To this day, I have no idea why they thought making the new AH game to be NOT a Metal Slug like game. That formula is already perfect. Just add some cool shit on top and you're good to go. Who OK'd the new stupid gameplay?
>>683884202are you a girl (male)?
>>683885591Unless you're using one of the top tier characters don't bother with extreme.The enemies have absolutely bloated health pools and tank like gods, and hit like trucks.I think Troll Mama in the first few levels probably filtered 90% of people who even dared to try extreme because she just spawns 23782147 kids who will take 50% of your hp if they hit you even once.>>683885897The hell are you talking about? I'm just a dude.
>>683847059I couldn't possibly care less. I'm never gonna play castle crashers again
>>683852190For me it's maxing magic and stunlocking with red knight
Honestly I just want a sequel with actually different movesets for weapons and magic that isn't just arrow rain for 90% of characters
>>683853545
>>683885591I remember when me and a friend did insane mode we just ran into someone online who had a finished save and skipped Necro
>>683847059I'm not going to be a cynical cunt. I am excited for this. I actually got so excited I listened to the full soundtrack after I saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhYYUAtc0UA
>>683887669I wonder if she’ll do Paint Jr.
>Boot up game>This was my old save I beat the game withI hope the custom knights update will mean you'll be able to play the game with any build, lots of builds that make the game way harder.
>>683884202then you are the exception, not the rule, prove me wrong when skibidi toilet is the most subscribed custom character, im waiting
>>683888548>Trick Room build
>>683850197He is still addicted to crack. He was on a small comeback arch making new vids and when the fans didn’t come back (because his channel was dead for years so the algorithm didn’t send subs an update and also kept discovery flat) he nuked it with metal gear porn and fell off the wagon.
