damn gobbos
What a wasted fucking potential.This should have been a movie to begin with, but it's another case of "HEY RETARD LET ME SPEAK OUT LOUD WHAT YOU NEED TO EXACTLY DO"+objective marker+"GO TO KITCHEN" popup type of game that thinks the player is too retarded to think for themselves.Shame because the visual design is very interesting.
>>723710209This is my last summary, I can't take it anymoreThis time I played less than half of what I intended, even abusing the Press Preview. It was fun while it lastedI will continue to play over the months what I have stored here.
Play flesh made fear.
>>723710731Gonna just wait for the release on Halloween since I already played the demo in a previous Next Fest.
Only ended up playing Jackal, 东方异遇证 ~ What the Bullet Hell! and BIRDCAGE because I couldn't be arsed to do any more. All good, I recommend.
>>723711108Fair enough. At least there are a good number of promising survival horror games on the horizon once you filter out the walking sims.

I DL'd Jackal because it looked like 3D Hotline Miami but immediately uninstalled without having played a second because the menu said randomly generated levels. Fuck right off with that garbage, Hotline Miami was good specifically because of the tightly crafted levels.

>>723712462In Majogami, I felt like the super forms were unpleasantly broken. The difficulty disappears when you morph into the arrow goddess, since with the boss you just can standing in the air and spamming arrows, since you basically just hover while you mash the buttonAnd directional slashes should be less common to do, since they infringe more damage than regular attacks, and the penalty for spamming them is zero since they recharge automatically.
>rogue like #4095 coom edition
This fucker better add lighting options, anti-aliasing and finger joints or I'm gonna send a missile to his minecraft house
>>723713260I did use the blue one with the horizontal slash focus a lot more honestly, but I do see a lot of potential for the latter stages to make you pick your moments to transform, since they are limited and require different levels of constellation to activate. Maybe the game ends up too easy if you know what form works best though.

I didn't think Next Fest was good. I don't think I wishlisted much. If anything. It was slim pickings, nothing particularly amazing. Sword Hero and Aquametsis look kind of cool. But I already knew about them prior to the fest.

>>723716014I wishlisted 4, watchlisted 6, so I'm very happy with it.The way I treat nextfests is that even if I walk away from it with a SINGLE game that I will eventually buy and enjoy, it was a win for me. Also demos are just fun in general.

>>723718245Wasn't there an update a couple days ago that removed THE DEED?
Maid of salvation was kind of neat. Top down 2D but progression and the actual map have metroidvania stylings.That said I found an axe and it played 100% identical to the sword and the actual combat eas easy amd boring

what happens if you're still ingame when it's over? does steam boot you out?
>>723725625Unless the developer is a faggot you're fine
>>723725625Only if the dev takes it down, but if it's not an online-only game then it might only be an issue booting it up again. If it's a multiplayer game, you might get booted to the main menu if the servers close, or you won't find anyone left to make lobbies.

>>723725625If you want to play a game without steam, copy it out of the steam directory somewhere else and use goldberg/steamless. You can back up 99% of your library this way if the games don't have other drm.
Hayo and the Emporium. A weird object placing game - you pick objects which then randomly pile up making adjacency combos to generate gold, kind of reminds me of Merge Maestro. Also, waifus. It looks like a lewd game but isn't actually very lewd at all. I've managed to build an insane combo that trivialized the latter part of the game. 7/10 - didn't hate it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3589350/Hayo_and_the_Emporium/

>>723695221no, there were a bunch of other (superficially about) climbing games coming out at the same time that were streamerbait unity asset flips
>>723730381Hell Maiden and Vital Shells are both vampire survivor clones, but from the sheer fucking number of the goddamn things in the fest they're probably two of the better ones.Hell Maiden has a nice '90s anime style and a pretty solid power system that lets you swap modifiers and buffs on your attacks or combine them. Vital Shell is a bit of an early playstation feel to it and is timed waves rather than just endless hordes of shit. Lot of stats you can fuck about with, at least, so if you like survivor clones focused on actual builds you'd enjoy that.Hell Maiden's the better of the two of them.
>>723730735Same. It's really fun week every time.

The Best Alchemist is made for women, and apparently also by women, because the multipliers are quite literally broken and you get stuff like 3x5 equaling a 12. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4014710/The_Bestest_Alchemist_Demo/
>>723732076I saw this toothe cat is hot, too bad it's matchslop
>>723732076How do you even fuck up something so simple?
This game itself is fine but my GOD the intro feels like it takes for fucking ever even if it is only 10 minutes.
>>723732076>3x5 equaling a 12.Fucking what?
>>723732076damn, thanks for this anon. I (girl) really like it. :)
>>723730735Seriously. Not every next fest is good and there's a lot of slop to sift through but I am just really happy it exists cause I always come away with at least ONE new game on my wishlist I would have never heard of otherwise.
>>723731760well it should be out soon, they've been steadfastly sending me these percentage updates, for like, years, and for some reason I never unsubscribed from them even though I don't really care about this sort of game. But they all say 99% now so it looks like it was the last one they'll ever send anyway.If you like this sort of game you'd probably really enjoy it, I suspect. But I never played dark souls or the elder tree or anything like that.
>>723730381Just the bottom 2.
>>723732228They needed you to FEEL for the MC and then they turend literally every dialogue into a bunch of one-liners and jokes
>>723732590kino
>>723732729Yep, it reminds me 80-90s action movies which is pretty cool.
>>723732590I can't feel for the MC because it hits WAY too close to home for me in parts.
>>723732338>>723730735Demos come out year-round you know. They get released every day. If you wanted to, next fest never has to end.Plus it really saves me time when the actual next fest rolls around. Everyone is trying to cram thousands of games in one week. I just work at it slowly and steadily over a longer period of time, and I'm far less likely to miss anything.It's all worth it in the end when I get to post in this thread and get told my taste is terrible :)
>>723710209Any good gooning games in this fest?VNchuds need not respond.
I am once again shilling XOLhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3123770/XOL_Space_Mech_Wars/
>>723732895I don't like the color pallete.
>>723724142can't see shit + you have to pixel hunt, I almost dropped it. Needs to skip the bullshit and make combat more frequent
>>723732836You'd have a point, but when it's an actual event that contains these demos, it gets everyone to come together and organize to discuss them like it's a social event. I'm aware demos come out year round, but it's easier to find people talking about them and to get recommendations during next fest. Additionally, it files all these demos in one place by recency, making them easier to sift through than "HERE'S EVERY DEMO STEAM HAS EVER HAD UPLOADED".However if any indie devs are reading this post, this is also why you shouldn't take your demos off the store when next fest ends, cause I may have discovered your demo but may not have necessarily had time to play it *during* next fest.
I liked the atmosphere this setup but the repeating room thing dragged for too long.
I'd like to thank that guy who whined incessantly about there being too few stealth games out there. He was blatantly incorrect, as anyone could tell, since there cannot simultaneously be a deluge of thousands of demos while none of them are stealth games.Still, though, I went through the entire stealth games tag to verify myself. As a result, I found several neat looking stealth games I might have otherwise missed. It was lucky for me. Naturally, I will not tell him any of the names of those games because he doesn't deserve them.Although, I did notice one thing that made it trickier. "Stealth" as a tag is rather common and will feature in many games in a variety of fashions. If you hide from enemies at any point, like in tons of horror games where you hide in lockers, that's stealth. But it's not really a stealth game. It's a Horror game.
>>723733181>it gets everyone to come together and organize to discuss them like it's a social event.well, it depends on whether you enjoy games more than talking about games. But also, I cannot really claim the conversation around these parts is terribly stimulating. I don't even really find my own posts that interesting.
>>723733264Is that s0ilent in the fridge?
>>723733264>Aw, look who finally came out of his cave!
>>723733337Honestly wish it was easier to hide horror games on itch,io while searching other tags for this reason (seriously, itch needs a better tag filtering system). Horror games feel like they are mostly streamer/youtuber bait these days or used as a "my first game" template, I can't remember the last time I saw a horror game other than ILL (which is mostly bullshot so far) where I was like "Wow this looks incredible I have to play it right now!"
>>723733531I've never seen it, so no idea.>>723733602lol
>>723733337take your meds
>>723733337>look for a good stealth game>can't find one
>>723734337Look better or something, idk
>>723733510I enjoy playing games more than talking about them but tag filtering systems and algorithms are not always as good as just simply asking someone else what they saw and enjoyed. Additionally, I'll hear about games here that other social media website users will probably never talk about, as /v/ tends to lean more towards niche japanese-style games and 4th through 7th gen style sensibilities which is something I simply vibe with more, I'd never hear about a game like BIRDCAGE or Beyond The Doors anywhere else as an example. This website also doesn't annoyingly moralize over if there's like gooner elements or whatever like the annoying people on twitter/bsky would and just talks about demos, so as a result I get to find 7th gen jank kino styled games like Directorate that are right up my alley.I don't need discussion to be "stimulating", I need it to be informative. Even just mentioning a game and what it is is enough for me to determine for myself if I wanna play it, cause steam's tagging system is user run therefore terrible.
>>723733648They (Valve) just need to add "ignore" field for tags. Will make searching infinitely better.
>>723734624They have that already.>Account details>Store Preferences>Tags to ExcludeThe problem is that people mislabel stuff in the user generated tags, meaning I might miss out on games that might have otherwise been up my alley because some dipshit called something a "walking simulator" game as a joke.
>>723734501>games like Beyond the Door.hmmm maybe Sepulchron?
>>723734764It also does straight up not work for next fest. I have both rogue like and rogue lite filtered and I still get vampire survivorshit in my recommendations.
>>723734918See this is what I mean, while this isn't quite like Beyond The Doors (there's a game already out called Tunnet that more fits what I like about beyond the doors) this still looks super cool and I wouldn't have heard about it if people didn't TALK about it.
skibidi denpa
>>723731107what game
>>723711791Holy shit what a garbage selection, any entry I click is worse than previous. You like the opposite of the good taste, you have an eye for shit aren't you, got that "stank eye" huh...
I really didn't think Motorslice was that good. It felt like a tech demo and ran like ass.
>>723735097Wait, I know! The game you want is At Sixes and Sevens. or something. I have more ideas:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3339280/From_Basement_with_Love/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3756940/The_Ratline/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2458980/Dimhaven__The_Lost_Source/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3367540/Code_Loopbreaker__Escape_Room/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2459030/Locator/Other games that might be more like birdcage or might be enjoyable:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3622370/Trick_Eight/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2494030/Zenoken/
>>723734764It's not the same. I don't mind some genres or types of games but when I'm looking for stealth games I'm not interested in horror for example. And when I'm looking for dungeon crawlers I don't want to see roguelikes. But otherwise I don't mind neither horrors nor roguelikes. So I'd rather prefer it to be simple checkboxes in the search menu.
>>723735434You can shit talk his taste all you like but lay off Skate Story, that shit was amazing.
Picking the top 5 demos is too hard probably there's so many decent ones so I'll just post the Top 3.
>>723736768if you want to eat slop and skateboard, then here's the game for you:
>>723736796>the ONE (read it: 1) spiritual successor for trauma center is a fucking furfag gamekill me
>>723736037Dimhaven is the most up my alley of these but that's because I grew up with games like Myst. However, what I actually want to zero in on is the "the personally managed automation must grow" elements of Tunnet. I enjoy games like Factorio, Death Stranding, and Tunnet because it's like you start from nothing and that nothing turns into a big complex spider web you transport macguffins across through exploration and planning that takes a while to construct so you get into this zen state of routing hyper efficiency you can lose hours to.
>>723736971Then it's Little Rocket Lab.
>>723737075Sorry for being annoying but that game does not look hostile or atmospheric enough to quite fit what I mean.Think death stranding, tunnet, voices of the void, and beyond the doors. Like, mild horror atmosphere. The thing I build stuff in should be unwelcoming looking so it makes it more satisfying to conquer it and make it a cozy space.
>>723736964Post bathroom.
>anons complain about roguelikes all day on NF threads>look at Top Demos now that NF is over>horror>open world survival craft>friendslop
>>723732836demos had become very rare before next fests started up though and as >>723733181said, the events are great because people actually talk about the demos. good luck making a thread about card battler clone #42323 otherwise
>>723737409We have no control over what the normalfags do. They're gonna play their streamer clipfarming games whether we like it or not.
>>723737409Anons are part of the problem but just lie on here that they aren't to help them sleep at night.
>>723737473you don't know what you're talking about
>>723737409Bunch of whiny faggots who love to complain if you ask me
>>723737354Okay
here's a dump of what I've played so far, but I'll keep playing lol
>>723737673cont.
>>723737663I've never been able to smell an image before but this one did it
>>723737756cont.
>>723737663Nigga, pour some Domestos in there.

>>723737663If I knew someone with a toilet like that I would cut contact. Absolutely disgusting.Also>this nigga brushin he teeth with a wrench.
Must be the most I've done in a Next Fest so far, though I might've been able to look for more rhythm games, RTS/tower defense, JRPGs or puzzle games if I wasn't bogged down feeling tired from a cold.
>>723738075My guess is he put the phone on the light fixture and set it to take on a timer
>>723738184The fucks wrong with your rig? Motorslice ran perfectly fine for me and that's also considering it was running through proton.
>>723738198>goes through all that effort for a photo>does not put that effort into cleaning their bathroomThis is the part in a point and click game where I sense something's off and need to investigate a nearby item. Maybe that out of place wrench on the sink table.
>>723738426Beats me, I'm on an ayyMD GPU where Steam's FPS counter read 60 when I was clearly lagging, while the in game FPS counter was spazzing out.
>>723732228>>723732590Opening was pretty good, the one-liners etc felt a little forced, would be much better as a serious story. I hope he fucks the girl, shes hot af, but her existance takes away from the serious story.Ultra girls surprised me, i dont like idols or the bullshit talking, but the girls were boderline-porn and the tactical system has skill trees which looked cool.Played a few others that blew: lost soul (gay mc), ledgerbound (really weird SJW type game full of pozz)Didn't get to all of them, but these were the better anime/ecchi games
>>723736965you are just incapable of discerning between anthropomorphic games that are pretty common, here's another:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2132560/On_Your_Tail/And games that are actual animal fetish ones, like pic related. Sort of like how no one here can tell which games are AI or not.
You've posted the best. Now post the Worst One you found.
>spam click on the character in the motorslice demo main menu after clicking on her once on accident and finding an easter egg where she reacts to it>she gets annoyed and force closes the game
>>723739240>knocks your cursor away if you pat her head with the cursorKINOINO
>>723730801I didn't even know about this controversy, no wonder the originally-a-easter-egg x_angelkawaii_x twitter account went downhill into pure product promotion for garbage products.That said, Yunyun doesn't actually mention WSS Playground anymore - they were removed from the publisher/developer list back in July. Only Alliance Arts is listed now. Are you sure that WSS Playground is still involved?https://steamdb.info/app/2914150/history/
>>723732836>Demos come out year-round you know. They get released every day. If you wanted to, next fest never has to end.But the fact that it's a limited event is what makes it special. It's a rare occasion where you can actually talk to people on /v/ about video games
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era looks very promising. It's a shame the demo only has randomly generated maps.
>>723739224What's wrong with it?Also for me it would be pic related. Just boring game where you roll around as paper ball without much of any obstacles.
>>723737673>>723738025Strange, XOL didn't vibe with me at all
Of ash and steel seems to me to be gothic but without the requirement to be autistic or german (same thing amirite?) to play.
>>723718245>>723718387>>723718481>>723718559To be honest, was it possible to finish the game at some point by disabling the demo restrictions? Was anyone able to do all the activities with the fox girl?, Even if we ignore the patch that supposedly removed the content later
Anyone tried this? I can't think of any other game like this besides Dakar Rally. It's a bit chunky to run and the UI is a bit rough
>>723713260Inti Creates games are always more about scoring/speedrunning autism than just beating the game. I'm sure the full game will require you to clear that stage with a flawless speedrun for 100% completion.
>>723718614>>723718970Thank goodness I was smart and my gamer instinct made me go left first so I wouldn't have to suffer the same as you
it was okay I guess. maybe the best visual novel demo so far? no wait it's not even that advent dawn was better
>>723740650I would've liked it more if it was smuggler's run IN SPACE but it very clearly is going for something more realistic.
>>723731367>House of DecayWhat did you unironically like about it, I found that demo really boringOnly thing you could do was a basic jump and combo with some basic platforming>>723740650It's gotten a good amount of posts by anons over the NF, at least to the point I easily recognise the thumbnail when it gets posted like with MotorsliceMost anons like it for the idea and aesthetic but like you said it's a little rough in some places
>>723740919>smuggler's run enjoyerbased
>>723735434>any entry I click is worse than previousWell, it makes sense, I ordered them from best to worst anon
>>723740601You can "finish" the story in a way that it lets you play the dialog once the shrine is cleaned up and talk some more.I have the previous patch but I would have to extract the logic and connect it back to current version.
That top 50 demos is so weak lolThe only game I even remotely liked of them was the chink genshin farmpact starsand island
>>723741850oh and reanimal of course
>>723741850https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/How the fuck did a game like this end up on the top 50? Did some eceleb shill it or something?
>>723741850Post the list. I need to see the slop the people are eating
>>723742391yeah it's probably made by a youtuber
>>723715674Didnt the publisher already confirm that theyre fixing this
>>723740601Yeah. The game ends on Day 31 with a "thank you for playing" message. There's no freeplay mode with everything unlocked so you have to make a save on Day 30 when you get the final unlock: creampie begging, if you ever want to get back to the game for a fap.
>>723742391Because it's another entry in somewhat popular point&click game series that started as a flash game
>>723742391It's a fairly long-running puzzle game series. I've never bothered with it even though I like puzzle games and point-and-clicks. It just seems meh.
>>723715364>try demo>play the tutorial, it spends 5 minutes explaining a couple mechanics in a fucking 4x game, then literally says "you can handle it from here" and bails, leaving you to figure out the other 80% of the game
>>723741850a lot of normalfag slop in there but it doesn't surprise me in the slightest

Most played demos are out https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfestmostplayed
>>723743781I had Half Sword downloaded but I was too squeamish to play it because too much realistic gore. I'll play it now though.
>>723737568hes right tho? "betas", early access and steam greenlight doesn't count as demos
>>723743805So much slop at the top.

>>723744183It's a parkour game. Who cares
>>723744183Count your blessings. At least it's not gonna be the target of autistic retards like FOTM shit is.
>>723744183It's kind of a blessing in disguise, imagine if it got popular and troons starting harassing the dev to remove the subtle ecchi stuff
>>723737663Zamn you got the SIlent Hill 2 Remake Collectors Edition with the 1:1 scale toilet???
>>723744183the only reason it's there in the first place is because the dude has a youtube channel
>>723744225How can you do it in that position if she's a fox?
>>723743445>>723743805How's Half Sword at top again? It had a demo the last fest as well. Did it get a massive update?
>>723744296only troons play this garbage to begin with lol
>>723743881nvm no controller support at all
>>723744213Bad games being bad are facts, not opinions. Don't let that prevent you from enjoying them tho.
>>723744393Foxes are canids.
>>723743805I haven't tried any except for Menace which I had already played before the Fest dropped, and Might and Magic. Does that mean my taste is good or bad?
>>723744464nope, never letting looney troons claim my anime girls not matter how much you clueless zoomers spam this

>>723742751The artist 'eroflashclub' has a whole compendium of monochrome games in the same mood, a truly misunderstood artist
Did you guys get filtered by any demos?I dropped Shadow of the Road by Owlcat Games because the first battle was too hard and I feel kinda bad about it but I'm really bad at tactics games
>>723744918>owlcatI dropped it before even looking at the store page.
Hungry Horrors is such an infuriating game. It's both overly complicated and excessively primitive, too random, and the characters are annoying twats, all of them. 3/10https://store.steampowered.com/app/3048840/Hungry_Horrors/

>>723744882Its genuinely insane how fat her ass is, its almost too distracting honestly.
>>723745328Knock yourself out. I took a look and the JP and EN strings are right next to each other in the same file for each scene, and it's not a very text-heavy game anyway so it should be easy to come up with a mod.
>>723745328it's a unity game and changing text is one of the easiest things to do, they literally have exposed localization tables for you to decompile and edit.
>>723745725I locked in when the boss showed up and kept killing me because I didn't know there's a dodge button.
>>723745530Considering that Pocket Mirror Goldentraum and Little Goody Two-shoes also weren't particularly popular...not surprising. Plus, people are about sick of VS slop at this point. It's really hard to justify playing something other than VS, HoloCure or Picayune Dreams for me because none of them are very good comparatively.Actually for that matter, I don't think Goldentraum was as good as the original freeware version.
>>723745827>buy
>>723745148>tranny trying not to ruin things challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
>>723745827>/v/ yet again turns on something yet again because it became popular with people they don't like>instead of asserting themselves and preventing it from being takenand also>sharty faggots being faggotsBut more to the point, I'm not buying it unless I can confirm there was zero involvement of WSS with a full credits roll from the final version. They do not deserve it for what happened to nyalra; they're well on their way to becoming the next Nicalis.
>>723745641It's not a tranny game, but a tranny infested game?, yes. Just like Mouthwashing was, for bringing a caseThe nips responsible for its development were to blame for contracting the cancerous parasites they did, so no shame at all. Pirate or ignore it.

>>723748578That's why you should never acknowledge them. I REFUSE to give denpa to them. Because like you, I've enjoyed it since my teens and since shitposting on /jp/ and early /a/ and /g/. But instead we've got anons here on /v/, spamming every thread with fucking discord and tweets from insane trannies, just ushering all anons to give up on it. Almost makes me think he is one of the discord troons himself, aiming to claim a monopoly on it or something.
>>723743612>>723743805Hell Maiden is boring as shit. It got amazing art but that's pretty much it. Style over substance.SealChain being there is 100% deserved
>>723749050I refuse to give denpa to them as well, but it can't be helped. anons here continue to shilling the game every thread. Back in my day this game would get stoned to hell. Nobody is leaving negative reviews, the devs refused to fix the localization. it's truly over.we're taking the jump from jiraitardkeis to hikkos. it will be taken over unless we stop doing something serious and starting by not shilling the game here. every wishlist/sale the game gets from here will finance their retard localization team.
>>723749141>Gameplay mattersStellar Blade is right there anon. The real problem with Hell Maiden is that they got cocky after seeing those Twitter numbers and then skipped out on YouTube shorts.
I forgot to look at anything this nextfest likening forgot all the other ones was anything even kind of worthwhile besides the majesty clone.

>>723719992>Paraside Duality Unbound>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2881620/Paraside_Duality_Unbound/>Into The Breach with roguelite removed. Clearly in early production but very interestingThe main thing I didn't like about this game is how it felt like your whole game was basically decided at the deployment screen. I found myself spending like 3 minutes hemming and hawwing over the deployment and then just achieving a 1 turn victory constantly. I didn't like such undynamic gameplay, Into The Breach may have been a puzzle game with mecha stapled on but there was still quite a bit of inter-mission dynamic play with how enemies could spawn and such. I just didn't feel that way with Paraside, because ultimately only two or so monsters needed to be killed every mission so nothing realistically changed when new ones were going to spawn
>>723750358n-n-no
Any Trekfags here?
>>723726287It's literally the worst fest yet, I played like four demos instead of a few dozen like I used to
>>723750645Unless I can make emperor harry kim aboard the warship voyager i'm not interested.
I wishlisted Cook or be Cooked during the press preview and it never even had a demo but it's already coming out in 8 hours. Weird. Speaking of no shows, that LoveR Kiss game never managed to come out.
>>723751217Weirdest thing is that the game appeared in my Next Fest discovery queue.
>>723743445Outside of the friendsloppa I got like 8 games on this wishlistedNot bad desu

>>723750365The game is still far from even being something EA ready.The last battles were far more busy, but you can tell they didn't balance the mechanics yet.
Why is this loli teaching Homura Hime about back shotsGood things really do come in small packages
>>723753291game?
>>723752927I played the whole thing through and literally only the last battle with the two bosses from different factions was even slightly interesting and the fight itself was still pisseasyI dunno, its not just too easy but even if it was hard I still wouldn't find it engaging unless they found a solution to 1 turn wins all because I deployed correctly and just sniped the two boss monsters that were in every mission
>>723753872activate brain
>>723750645It's Voyager which is a turn-off for me. Not to mention it's basically just a FTL knock-off.

>>723755421Holy based
>>723755421Based.
>>723755570I was dumbfounded when I found out that this was just an ad for some stupid lotion.
>>723755668An ad with SOVL
>>723733337There aren't any stealth games. Shut your mouth indie dev apologist. I went through the tag too. I've seen everything you saw. Or at least what you thought you saw. But they weren't stealth games. Indie devs don't know how to make them, that's because they're all mostly talentless.
>>723755421Not accurate, but good shitpost. 10/10/
>>723734337Can't believe no one got the joke.
>>723751217Me too and exactly with those gamesIt often happens that a demo appearing in the Press Preview is never a guarantee of its participation, for example, this happened with HAREM! RANCH LIFE, it appeared in the June 2024 Fest and was left out, which didn't prevent the publisher from advertising the released demo.
>>723753872Lost Life. Still waiting for the update. Thanks Taiwan for making real action games for real gamers instead of woke shit.
>>723723826The puzzle mode gives you exactly one enemy encounter with a specific group of panels. Is it too much to ask for a mode with more persistent building up of panels? Granted the dev of the game has seemingly ONLY made roguelites so I guess so.
>>723755936I don't understand how Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere relates to nonexistent or extremely well-concealed stealth games.
>>723754997Elaborate
>>723756286It's not happening, buddy, the artist for LL fucked off and so he decided to ruin Dog Princess with a unity port that ages her up.

Too much chink low effort garbage.
Truck City's graphics suck but it feeds that factory autism urge
>>723755421holy mother of based, share it
>>723757580I really don't have that urge and if I did I would be working at an Amazon factory warehouse
>>723757712Anon, you can easily do that shit with very little effort.
>>723757804Are you a fucking moron? You don't make the factory at the amazon warehouse you ARE the factory. You're essentially the fucking inserter from factorio or one of those logistic robots.
>>723757895I don't like factory shit and that's why I don't work at a factory. Nuff said.

>>723755421>tranny localizer unironically playing with source code to shitpostgrim
>>723757839you can't, the game checks for MD5 tampering if you edit the localization table manually, you gotta do it through bepinex which is more convoluted than it should be.
>>723754518Zero at all. Two Shoes doesn’t even have implied sex like E33 does so it’s not even as yuri filled as the tags suggest.
>>723758783>playing with source codeThat's clearly a runtime text replacement hook, not source edit

>>723759019just disable the check, or replace the hash hardcoded in the exe.pic semi-related, different game, same fuckery.
>>723759825The game wasn't even il2cpp'd. I'm keeping the demo around in case the final version is il2cpp'd, then I'll have symbols to know what I need to target for the hash check.
>Thread kept hyping ash and feel>Try it>Its shiterrytime
>>723746473Solo Chess kind of sucks. But Tabulo is the real deal and is genuinely awesome. I'll no doubt get that game when the full release happens.
>>723759785Nezori is ok, except that's all that it really is. It's not that heavy in fanservice and the combat consists of spending your blue gauge and your orange gauge efficiently to kill groups of enemies spread out across a big map, and if you slip up once you can get stunlocked from 100% to death or a huge chunk of your HP. Also what the fuck were they thinking just flooding you with sidequests right at the start of the game? Cheap padding tactic?
>>723737409I don't find demos to play by looking at what's popular with normalfags, I look through the demos. there are objectively a billion roguelites out there

>>723765782Tearscape.
>>723760720I couldn't even get passed the VN intro. Normally I'll give the game a chance to set things up, but when I was holding skip for minutes at a time, there must have been 30+ minutes of voice acted dialogue.If I was in the mood for a VN, I might have given it a fair shot.

>>723765256None of the 115 demos I downloaded have been disabled, I may be lucky
>>723766842Surprisingly enough a very, very solid port. Provided you look up the KB+M controls on the community hub because the game has no button prompts and never tells you which key does what. But the actual performance is excellent.
>>723767562Cunny Ascend looks interesting, I'll give it a try if I can, or at least wishlist it so I don't lose it.
>>723766842It was until they released an update that "remastered" cinematics with AI, ruining them and filling them with visual artifacts
>>723761737>>723761937>>723762062Ok so then steam tag system is broken since out of all next fest demos these did not appear in the stealth category which I checked numerous times. It had 73 results in demos, many of which weren't stealth games. And whilst I saw a few games that were low effort garbage. I don't believe I saw any of these ones that you screenshotted. So even so I cannot be blamed when the categorisation was messed up.
>>723768160Is the game itself even listed as a stealth game?
I like the fest because you can just genuinely discuss games with anon.It was really fun, especially after shitposters ruined Silent Hill f threads.
>>723768769I have no idea what these games even are, just that I never saw them listed. Steam divides up categories by a sub categories tree and quite literally puts stealth into the 'themes' category for some reason. But that's how I navigated the demos i was trying to find.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2878760/KILL_THE_WITCH/Thoughts?>>723769076Yeah Next Fest threads are consistently some of the best on /v/.
>>723768160>I couldn't find them>so the system is broken
>>723762664Got a few games that I need to go back and finish playing, and some hobby related stuff I need to work on. See you next fest bros.

>>723765256Of all 50 most popular demos from the Fest, only 9 have been shut downI see that devs aren't that retarded in general anymore
>>723769213you're pretty bad at being a stealth fanboy. I suggest deckbuilders. no one seems to have trouble finding those genre of games

>>723775582>use filters>doesn't show all the available games with that filter>hear about something that should have been in the filter later via word of mouthI'm genuinely inclined to believe that >>723769213 wasn't bullshitting the thread, cause sometimes I'll search for a very specific kind of game and not find it till someone talks about it here.
>>723745148...Is this a stereotype of these people I never knew? I thought they were hentai riddled?
>>723773472How is the game in the end?
>>723776405oh you know the rate at which I acquire games exceeds how fast I beat them but I should get around to it. Frankly, though, I think Vaccine:Rebirth by the same guy was a better game. It's the same concept but a resident evil roguelike instead of a MGS roguelike. But then, I like Resident Evil better than MGS. and anyway, there may be better RElikes with Rogue Mansion and House of Necrosis now.You can ignore the mixed reviews, half of that was just people whining about AI voices as if a solo dev can afford a voice cast. The other half is people complaining about difficulty.At first it seems like there isn't much of a plot and it's just missions but I suspect there is a plot. I just haven't played much of it.
>>723776156They are, it's just that they're the leftist equivalent of a staunchly religous conservative guy who's suspiciously vocal against homosexuals but it turns out he gets his back blown out at gay bars on the regular, or when you see someone calling an innocuous game "pedo shit" and then they get busted for having actual pedo shit.Troons are two faced in many ways, that's the entire reason they get hate.
It's over..
>>723773131That game is not even out. It's not even released and has no demo. So for all I know now you were just randomly posting shit that wasn't even apart of Next Fest. I'm well aware of Styx Blades of Greed, Sleight of Hand and some Korean SC knock off called Mudang Two Hearts. And a Thief fan game called Noirmancer. But there is fucking nothing otherwise, and who knows when they will release other than an ETA by a year with no estimates on quarters. They're probably in some long development cycles. They don't release stealth video games anymore. These were are all exceptionally rare upcoming release examples. Hell even the Thief knock off called Serpens Eternal Thievery might not even be a real game. I've heard it was just Thomas porta's CV project for joining New Blood interactive team for Gloomwood, that's how he got hired but just put up a fake game on steam.
>>723777610>That game is not even out. It's not even released and has no demo.Your powers of observation continue to impress.
>>723777610He's so convinced he's right he refuses to see the evidence right in front of his face. He's his own worst enemy, which is quite amusing.
>>723777706Yes, there is no public demo and riff raff games have never put one up. So I am right.
>>723778254The man who was totally incapable of perceiving subtext.
>>723762664Finish vidya I stopped playing because of Next Fest. Gurumin, Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum and Child of Light and do uni stuff I was supposed to do kek
>>723778467Just shut up. If stealth games were releasing it would be as blatantly as apparent when the intravenous games dropped. Sometimes there are games that go under the radar, but it's generally due to being a little more simplistic in their mechanics. For example Gone Rogue was a decent but a little more casual experience at the same time, it's not going to raise any eye brows from most people because it's not incredibly deep. And yes I know that you posted Deserter (it's sequel) but I didn't say anything, so you were posting things outside Next Fest and trying to act smart about it. Posting Shit like Project KVASIR is mind boggling because there's not a build that you could have played of that. Where are all these amazing games that you're not playing? and could have never played? or are you just trying to sell indie devs on merits that they have not yet achieved? this shit looks like plain garbage by the way>>723761937>>723762062
>>723778909>If stealth games were releasing it would be as blatantly as apparentI think you misunderstand the concept of stealth altogether lmao
Holy fuck this demo won't end.Suffering kino.Kind of hate the combat.At least it's not a roguelite.
>>723778909Sorry I should correct myself on KVASIR, you can request to be apart of the playtest, all I know is that I don't think the builds have gone out on it. Either way pretending like it's in some state of where the developer would release it any time soon is dishonest. That game will be forever development.
>>723779886Your powers of observation continue to impress.
>>723769906Yeah well it turns out he wasn't even posting listed demos. So now what? imagine having a guy in steam next fests that just gets mad when I say indie developers are not diverse in their game development genres, so he resorts to lying.
>>723780154cope for a dope
