>dev include a live action cutscene as an easter egg of him putting his hand down a toiletI mean the demo seems mite be cool territory but the blatant resident evil reference in the starting area and this silent hill reference made me chuckle.
Disciples has a new game with a demo and it kind of just looks like HoMM. What's going on with that series anyway? I've seen it around but I don't know anything about it.
Let's flip the question bros.Is there a game you were excited for that you're no longer sure of after playing their demo this nextfest?
>>723304983not specifically for THIS nextfest, but Motorslice felt extremely underwhelming, the controls feels both like you're on ice and walking on glue, the momentum is floaty as fuck, so navigating the levels feels like a chore instead of feeling like some snappy and fast parkour the game promotes and looks like in the videothe boss is also extremely on rail and takes literally 0 skills to defeat
>>723304983>Death in AbyssI expected Omega Boost. I got jank.
Recommend horror games
>>723304983Homura Hime was really mediocre.
>>723305119On the contrary, I always thought the gameplay would be janky just like the first trailers shown, but the main character turned out to be prettier than I thought and her animations and reactions were charming (the gory is a nice touch)The game feeling reminded me of a very floaty version of Mirror's Edge with touches of Shadows of the Colossus. I never had any expectations about a deep the platforming, and when I played the demo, my impression was positive, fun to play and an unmissable eye candy

>>723304815After Disciples 3 in 2009 they was a long period of nothing before Disciples: Liberation came out in 2021. Unlike the previous game it's was more of rpg with homm style turn-based combat where you play as a chick with side-cut. The upcoming game, Domination, appears to be the direct sequel to it. Personal I didn't care for Liberation as well as I don't care for Domination.
>>723304983Homura Hime and Ground Zero
>>723304652Does anyone know what's this game? Was posted without the name (fuck you) in a previous thread.
Do I add Alabaster Dawn? All the other assholes who make charts added it without it being part of Next Fest.
>>723305496>Dredge, Japan
>>723305940I don't care what's part of the fest or not I just want good games (demos)
>>723305868Found it, it's called 'Vital Shell'. Vampire Survivors clone.Don't know why retards come to these threads and try to act secretive about these demos.
/ck/ tard here. Any cooking or cooking-adjacent games worth checking out?
>>723306042In the fest or in general? Because the answer to both is not really. There's a market, hop to it champ.
Malware status?
>>723306202I have Windows 11, I'm safe.
>>723306156>There's a market, hop to it champ.That's exactly what I'm doing actually. Already submitted a demo to a previous /agdg/ demo day. I was hoping this next fest could have some games to take inspiration from but I can't find anything interesting
>>723306306You'd probably get more out of Trauma Center than Gas Station Simulator 2025.
>>723306042No, it's really bad. At best there's Abyss Kitchen but that's more focused on gathering the ingredientspic unrelated

>>7233071492 negatives cancel each other out, any viruses will simply make me safer.
>>723306042>two working armsthis must be a pretty old webm
>>723306202Can't hack me, I got Norton.
>>723307217Yeah that webm is about 7 years old. I think it was the last Halloween video he had where his arm wasnt stroked out
>>723304652Well, I definitely want to play the full game
Any good puzzle games?
These were the only 3 demos I played and enjoyed so far. Any other recommendations?
>>723305304i expected a rough indie game and got exactly that. I'm still excited for the game and will be getting it.
It takes a war demo is great but why is it 7.28 GB
>>723307545Not in the fest, but give 20 Small Mazes a go, it's free, and Strange Jigsaws a pirate, had a great time with those.
>>723307581Mesugaki and yunyun.
>>723307048Which ones the STALKER lite? also there's no such thing as a lite when it comes to the equation of a game like STALKER. It's either '-like' or it's not STALKER at all. It's not a very easy game to have replicated or to develop.
>>723307778Thanks <3 Will check out.
>>723307741What makes it good?
>>723308008-lite as with smaller scope and less features. I'm talking about Misery.
>>723308120It's funny
>>723308307Sounds good, adding to the list.
>>723307516>42 lewdnesscum on step it up
>>723308193It's just a STALKER themed co-op survival game that's more like survival lethal company. That sucks. I hate how people are just blatantly unoriginal about it sometimes too. Like they can't just pick their own setting and not have to resort to choosing the exact same thing STALKER did. At the very least Project Silverfish tried to change it up a bit.
>>723307516>I definitely want to play the full game
>>723306017Thanks. That kind of retarded autism is really baffling.
>>723307581>weeb>Kotama and Academy Citadel good looking metroidvania>Hell MaidenVS-like with plot based on genderbent Dante's divine comedy>Starsand Islandlife sim game that looks nice so far.There's also Soulers, that isn't part of next fes that you might like.
>>723307516Name?
>>723307872>yunyun>filled with mutt humorAnd dropped.Fuck shitty localizations. No one should support this but babies, trannies and ironical weebs will eat it up
>>723308501It honestly sounds like a good time from that description. I have no issues with a lack of originality if the concept is fun. If they do it well, it would be a great game.
>>723308783We heard it the first time around, you can stop crying now. Play it in JP. I'm not going to skip on a game that I would enjoy simply because the translation has some issues, especially since I can deal with JP just fine.
>>723308905There are people who can't play it in japanese (or can but were going to play in english for whatever reason) who deserve to know they're getting fucked.
>>723308957A big difference between warning about a translation with issues and>No one should support this but babies, trannies and ironical weebs will eat it upI would say.
>>723308905>noooo you're not allowed to criticize a poorly job done otherwise you're a racist piece of shitfaggot
>>723308830If they don't even do game mechanics like A-Life then it's shit. STALKER is more than a setting and a theme. Being able to do anomalies is not the same as the other half of the experience. That's why it's not easy to recreate it.
>>723309047>nooo (completely made-up shit)I'm one of the biggest racists on earth. This has nothing to do with that.
>>723308761Little Fox Girl
>>723309071You gotta start somewhere, they're still indie, it's also a demo, do you already know everything that is going to be included?
>>723309302Well I'm not biased against indie because i do know of at least one project that looks promising that few people know about, that's not Silverfish. It's just that it's a hard thing to develop and I don't think you can later down the tracks just put A-Life in. These decisions need to be at the centre of development and in the plans for whatever state the game is currently in. All of its' design should have this factional wars system in mind, the world AI system in mind from the start. If that wasn't at the start of the plans then it's not going to be significant later. Rather it will be an afterthought and perhaps lacking any depth. Silverfish's system isn't exactly amazing, but it was there in its earliest state. It didn't come later.
>>723304983'83 Thought that game was gonna be the shit, another Rising Storm game. It's the worst slop ever made.
>>723308830>>723308193I played the demo for it for a while. Wanted to like it but there was just a lot of things that just annoyed me. The crafting system is completely reliant on gasoline, which is a random spawn, and in my case it never appeared, so I couldn't make anything to see what the demo even had. Sure I could have spent more time scavenging but the game is almost geared against that with how short the days are, you have about five fucking minutes of sunlight before it gets pitch black, so you have to speedrun through all the buildings and locations, which isn't what comes to my mind when I think of s.t.a.l.k.e.r.Maybe it's better in co-op, but 'fun with friends' isn't exactly high praise.
>>723310162>but 'fun with friends' isn't exactly high praise.there's a lot of games that are fun with friends but from your description it does sound like this game has a problem with how it was designed, probably because the dev wanted a more friendslop feel to it by making players feel rushed and under pressure
>>723310162>but 'fun with friends' isn't exactly high praiseIt's anti-praise because wrangling other retards to play with you is going to be more work than any game is worth, friendslop only works if it's instantly so popular that everyone you know is already playing it.
Whoever mentioned G-Rebels in a previous thread is a gentlemen and a scholar. I am a big fan of G-Police and didn't even know this existed. The default controller layout is fucking mental though but hey ho, kb/m is sensible.

>>723312393Yes, everyone knows the cut of a game's revenue is 80% towards translators, 14% steam, 5% banks, 1% the original creator.

Is this game good?
>>723314045It looks real good though when the weather rolls in. The lighting with HDR on is tasty.>>723313962Keep legs warm.

>>723315268It's been down for hours. Only reason I get to play new games is because they're mentioned in the thread.
>>723315426I kinda liked it even though I'm not into VS usually.Pretty alright enemy variety for the first level, usually one of my biggest issues with those games, I wish there was a 2nd stage in the demo as well though, just to make sure they won't mostly recycle enemies afterwards.
>>723305940whats the point of this if you can't tell what game unless you already played it.
>>723315268Works on my machine.

>>723305940bottom left?
>>723315773majogami
I may be too good at these kinds of games. Found an infinite almost instantly. Works on every enemy in the demo.Nice to see games being made like this but pretty meh demo even ignoring this. Skill cooldowns are too long to be let them really add much to the mashing and the barrier system literally just means you hold a button before you can interact meaningfully with enemies.Parry feels pointless. It doesn't reward you any more than a dodge, but its harder to do. So why bother? Especially when most enemies whiff or get stunlocked if you just mash Y and cancel the last hit
>>723315673Played this hoping it might be a decent job game but it was kind of gay, janky and boring instead.
>>723314423https://store.steampowered.com/app/1604630/Kriophobia/
>>723315912This certainly has an interesting art style.
>>723315897Also dunno what that one guy who said he liked Yasuke more than this was smoking.Himura's at least well presented, the hits feel decentYasuke is a buggy literal alpha
Exo Rally Championship is really good thanks to that anon from last thread for recommending it.it's LITERALLY Magnetic Fields' Rally Championship 2000 but in fucking space. Holy fucking shit. I wanted this ever since SRVs came out in Elite.

>>723316442but enough about silksong
>>723315897This is one of those demos that desparately needed a later game encounter to show how involved the combat gets.
>>723316106it requires an uncommon level of space and racing sim autism to enjoy I think.
>>723316636I mean unless they nerf parry cancels I don't really see how it matters.You move enough during this laser enemies pretty much always whiff, it stunlocks everything in aoe and it does so until any given enemy dies.
>>723315701The Next Fest only started two days ago though

>>723305194Clown is Hungry came out today, it was from last Next Fest. I thought it was pretty good.
Dark Auction was kinda interesting, but it was definitely written by a women, or at least written for a certain audience.
>>723305940Trick question. Alabaster Dawn shouldn't go on because it sucks. Next fest status is irrelevant.
>>723320865They let you know that right away with the fujobait line at the start. "I'll finally get to see you again" or something. It's not full-on gay though, I think, so I'm still pretty interested.

>>723323421this guy messed up which game he was supposed to be insulting halfway through
HehNothing personnel, Putin & Merkel
Anyone try Morbid Metal? Looks like a DMC Ghostrunner mix, but it's a roguelike, so not sure if the actual gameplay loop would be fun.

>>723324216I don't think I've found one.
>>723324906you don't have to believe me. I just don't get anons glazing that korean slop. I played the demo and was honestly astounded by the recs.phase zero was - by far - the best classic survival horror demo. flesh made fear was really good too. both actually succeed in revoking the classic horror vibe. ground zero seems like an indian tried to copy something he clearly does not understand. I even think the game designer had an indian name lmao
>>723324216the 'classic roguelike' tag was made to match you with the autistic devs.
>>723304983Like others have mentioned, Motorslice and to a more limited extent Homura HimeFirst one because I overall came out of it unimpressed + had about 5 instances where the movement broke and jumping would nullify all my horizontal velocity. Also I don't like the main character and they push her into your face a lot so that's a big turn off.Homura Hime because it lacked some pretty basic settings but also because it felt a bit janky here and there, though the boss fight at the end was great so I'm still looking forward to it

I'm not a big fan of live action cut scenes personally. but not bad at all>Scarlet Lakeplayed the demo and wasn't too pleased with it. this is just trying to look a bit like signalis with a SH plot (he is searching for his wife) and RE gameplay. feels soulless>PALEOPHAGEwow, another dino crisis rip-off>Vultures - Scavengers of Deaththis one is actually trying to do something new and I will absolutely try it once it releases>Varmalis"inspired by SH". when will indie devs get that you need a lot of artistic depth to actually accomplish the atmosphere? will keep it on my watchlist, but I don't have high hopesthere I did it
>>723325463>Ground Zero was obviously the best of them all, with it's attention to detail, competent storyline, bonus unlockables/costumes/secrets/collectibles, 3 difficulty levels above "hard" for extra replayability, that ghost mode thing, the exceptional cinematography, the weapon system, unique monsters(well sorta).

>>723326009>no argumentlol lmao
>>723326510you are obviously a shiteater. the game is soullessness incarnate. it looks horrible, isn't optimized, plays very bare bones, has abysmal designs (no, I don't mean the thong thing, the enemy designs are atrociously bad). it's just memberberries without any depth or understanding what made classic games so good. I don't give a shit about difficulty options beyond hard, if they were actually cool they would have gone for a randomizer instead. competent storyline LOL LMAO you fucking shit eating faggot.

>>723317739タイトル?
>>723309884I genuinely don't know how the devs thought this would be acceptable to put out as a demo
>>723315294thanks for the effort, anon.
>>723328053There was actually a cool dinosaur game this fest. I went in saying "ugh stupid big lizards again, this is why capcom dropped dino crisis" and then "whoa that looks cool"
>S>A>B>C- Anima: Gate of MemoriesReminds me of old PS2 action games, but also very janky. I guess it has its charm.- Road to VostokDecent base gameplay but it's just a proof of concept. There's nothing to do.>D- Dark AuctionWalking sim / visual novel. Controls are bad for no reason. I guess you'd like it if you were into the story, it also features famous japanese VAs. Hitler is called Dictator X.- Welcome to Doll Town"Horror" game that's both janky and hilarious. You play as a school girl who beats the shit out of living dolls with your bare fists.That's it for now.
>>723318939More like hidden empty tech demo
>>723325463I tried Ground Zero and didn't like it. MC having a nice but doesn't save the game. Plus it's set in Korea so that's already points against it.

>>723326984>you gotta wonder how everytime there is a shit game with cheap fanservice that doesn't even look good, shills come to defend it
>>723326803I like it despite the jank, but they need to let players decide which execution animation they want to use and how long we want it to last. There should also be execution animations for smothering.
>>723326887Glass houses
Is there a nude cutscene in Ground Zero or are you fags wasting my time by incorretly calling it sexy?
>>723317418Holder of place.
>>723328872I think the arenas are too small for it to get really fun, but keep working on it, bro, you'll get there.
>>723318868That's the nature of such a highly competitive market with a low barrier to entry - lots of copycats trying to cash in on popular fads.
>>723329693>nude>sexyThe right amount of exposed body is far sexier than full nude.
>>723329958I'm sorry, but this doesn't apply to a low polygon being.
>>723329884I'm not the dev, I just really like his game.You can easily see that his english news posts are AI translated.
>>723313451Hook a brother up
>>723318868>awesome games exist>many years pass with nothing like it>an indie gives us something in that spirit but also with some more mechanics addedThat's when indies are good. Also, unique things like Obra Dinn.
>>723330240So they just ripped off Resident Evil 3? I mean that could literally be a screen from the Park.

>>723313351>>723313684>>723324370One of the few weeks (3 if we only count the festivals and not the previews) where /v/ is actually talking about playing video games and you're complaining that people aren't posting at the pace you want without any downtimeI'd understand your discontent if this were done every month, but it's literally a tri-annual event.I guess an oasis of blind demo enjoyment is too much for some people. It's better if the board sticks to console wars, franchise bashing, gooning threads, and political discourse.. Fun is not allowed just because the thread doesn't reach the bump limit in 3 hours.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3914200/Even20_The_Interference_of_Parallels/chink RPGMaker game. Yes, I know it's a hard sell right off the bat, but it's got really good production value and the gameplay is actually fun. You only get a snippet of the combat, but it's real time and one of the MCs has 3 tools for combat right at the beginning, and that's a major plus for me.the attached video shows what happens when you fail a puzzle as the second MC of the demo. I was laughing my ass off for a solid minute because of the fact that a clapping sound effect plays for a few seconds right after you die this way (the dialogue, or rather monologues, are also very cheesy almost poorly written)Also, looking over the dev's facebook page shows that they've been trying to get this one released since 2022. I wonder what happened for them to only get a "release date" of Q4 2025, after so long
>>723330715https://store.steampowered.com/app/2652590/AMNYAM/
Any good h-games? I only tried Dark Lord Leona but the combat system was a really slow deckbuilder autobattler. hard mode: no rpgm games.

>>723330596Oh I don't care one way or another about the thread. I just say it sucks to contribute to that guy's autistic malaise. So long as he believes the thread is trash, he'll still persist in his weird delusions. And I want him to be unhappy. So I drop a comment that seems to confirm his assessment every so often.
>>723308905>some issuesFaggot, shit deserves to be called out. That localisation amounts to vandalism of an otherwise cool game.You're actively supporting their bullshit when you dishonesty try to minimise its impact on the presentation.You're lying and/or retarded.
>>723331994Speaking as a mech guy, this is why no one likes ultra purists.

>>723326474>I have not wordsYeah, man, it's pretty obvious you don't know English. Or "words" as you call it.
>>723332068The localization is bad. Does it ruin the game in its original language? It does fucking not, I'm not silencing criticism, I'm saying people are ALLOWED to buy the fucking game without it being some kind of crime, so sit down, junior.
>>723326402You only went through one post though
>>723326402I might get death ground. Or something. Multi-player games I am always wary of.
>>723316050It's really cool. Not too involved customisation in the demo, only letting you change tires, but I liked the presentation. Inspecting the courses with drones was a nice touch.

>>723332787I thought the guns sounded good, the assault rifle especially. The voice acting was so bad I thought it was AI but after beating the demo I saw him actually credit people so he probably just got his friends to do the dialogue kek.
>>723304983Earth of Oryn looked like a great comfortable town builder, but the game is so janky and full of game-breaking bugs that I don't see it being playable for another 6 years.

Most of the time, the quickest way to complete a level is to ignore everything the game suggests to you and increase Max Units, then Range and HP on whatever unit allows you to do both.It's kind of annoying that they say "if you finish it in few enough rounds, YOU can fuck them" only to say after "oh, that's not in the demo though, just watch monsters fuck them instead."No respect.

>>723335913So they had an original premise and then dropped it for survivors slop? Pass
>>723335745game journalists actually get paid money to write this garbage
>>723335745At first I thought "can't blame them after their more creative games flopped" but they didn't really do that bad at all. This is just blatantly cynical lol
ngl, Alabaster Dawn is pretty fucking good. I have not seen sprites animated so smoothly since forever.Too bad that there is not a single white person in this game funded by german government
>>723338197Oh that's by the Crosscode guys right? Well at least the protag looks kinda pretty>Too bad that there is not a single white person in this game funded by german governmentProbably wouldn't get funding otherwise, fucking hell
>>723335753SAAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!
>>723338295>Oh that's by the Crosscode guys right?This explains everything. I got a strange urge to play Crosscode few seconds after starting Alabaster Dawn.
>>723338197What? One of the first NPC you meet are redheaded twins with extremely pale skin
>>723335745okI liked Hell Maiden, but that doesn't change the fact that "overwhelmingly positive" doesn't mean anything impressive for a steam game, just that it doesn't run like shit and has no micro transactions.
>>723338197>>723338295It's strange, I assumed that German government funding thing would enforce some kind of DEI equivalent but it's actually the exact opposite. If you research into the cultural test you have to pass, it only requires that your game represents German history, has German characters, is made by German devs, and doesn't glorify violence. There's absolutely nothing in those requirements that I would have expected. So the diversity stuff does not seem to be coming from them.
>>723338415In fact this is one of their banners, and you can see the second MC (nulea) represented here in the store page screenshotsdishonest freaks

>>723338534I'm half joking but if you're gonna apply for that stuff you probably want to be PC-presenting

>>723338197>Alabaster DawnOh, nice demo. Didn't have any problems with representation, everything seems pretty 'authentic' for a fantasy world.
