>>724735994>oh hey this doesn't look so bad m->combat startsAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
I have PS1 style fatigue
>>724736331Oh my god literally my dream combat mechanics
>>724736331I can see this being fun and novel for about 10 minutes before it gets annoying and you rather wish you were playing a soulslike normally
>>724737619a game where you constantly have to pause sounds like the worst shit everi'll be glad if it proves me wrong>>724735994i kinda wish these games were quicker in the sense of your character and the enemies having extremely low HPi'd love to see a game akin to Katana Zero where the enemies and the bosses are essentially as capable as you are and every encounter is short and sweet
>>724736219fuck this faggot making her intentionally uglynigger
>>724735994
>>724735994>Legend of Dark Souls: Ocarina of FurryNah
what's with indie devs with there mario-sonic bing bang wahoo junk, give me real games

>>724736108>what if littlebigplanet but in-gamewow.. epic......
>>724735994>furshit>close webm>disregard the game
>>724739019they think muh schmoovement is enough to sell their shitty shallow game
>>724737521I recognize that artstyleI assume this one won't be available in English either
>>724736331Does it have iframes
>>724740202The demo already is. Not even MTL, apparently there's some guy translating it. I only know because I saw a completely different dev who was excited to have the same translator as this game.
>>724735994Upcoming shovelware* FTFY, OP
>>724735994>Legoshi if he dark souls
>>724736108>Those animations>That UIThat's some good shit anon, thanks
>>724735994The work of one who consorts with beasts
>>724740626Huh, surprising. Guess I have something to look forward to, thanks anon.
>>724740987I'll always reserve a modicum of respect for anyone who sticks it through game development long enough to produce something playable, but it's so immensely fatiguing to see [latest indie game] and immediately it's clear what 90s/2000s game they're almost criminally plagiarizing in its style and gameplay.
>>724735994FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIMENAME YOUR WEBMS OR WRITE DOWN GAME TITLES YOU NIGGER
>>724740987Thanks doc
>>724737968>a game where you constantly have to pauseYou mean turn-based?
Any steam nextfest recommendations?
>>724735994I feel bad for people making games like this as they probably put a lot of work and effort into it but you know it will sell fuck all copies.
>>724742250>moneymaybe they just want to make something cool
Do rom hacks count? https://youtu.be/m6MVCNbPLCw
>>724742250when did this board start caring so much about sales? i thought gatekeeping is good?
>mid air jump>mid air dives (mario odyssey style)>dive rolls>rail grinding>glidingInto the trash
>>724742642>Falling for the resident spergs and invaders spamming graph threadsNah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbBSYqACSdU
>>724742647Yeah. There's attempting to make a spiritual successor. And then there's ''hey kids, remember me'' grandpa's compiled nostalgia slop.
>>724741389That's completely reasonable.
>>724742642Salesfagging is just a part of consolewarring, which is AGAINST THE BIARS RULES!!!
>>724742647Pretty much this, especially the gliding. Kind of crazy that I cannot think of a single game where you fly by flapping wings or something.
>>724742647>>724742819I fail to see the problem with any of these.
>>724739019UUUGH b-b-but that's my n64 dream game that i conceptualized when i was 8 it HAS to be good
>>724735994painfully obvious this is being made by a troon.
>>724743185Flappy erm bird ermmm?!
>>724743213One is enjoyable most of the time and the other has worse execution and less overall care because they are more focused on image than on actual gameplay. Now since we are talking about nostalgiaslop and spiritual succesors you have a wide range of this happening
what's with all this ps1 slop
>>724743958
>>724736331I could see this being useful in a TOME4 type of game, where you have incredibly advanced and unique skills that would absolutely impossible to use in a real-time environment, like time manipulation.
>>724743592I don't see how platformers having these features now is any different from platformers having these features in the past.
>>724741389exactly my thoughtsno matter how disappointed i am or bad i think it is, i must acknowledge that making a game like that unironically takes more effort than getting a degree somewhere. i cant help but hope they get good money for it somehow
>>724742807holy shit
>>724739019>give me real gamesJust say you don't like platformers.
>>724735994The game is titled Dog Nightmare and it is not currently listed on steam.
>open indie game>its either:>a very popular n64/ps1/dreamcast game with a hot anthro instead of a funny lil guy>movement is amazing, but the gameplay is still just a collectathon or>beautiful pixel art cutscenes and sprites>but its just another RPG maker gamelike , i get that small teams are limited to a lot of the same things as the early game makers, and they're building for their nostalgia.but i wish more of them would do something new instead of just regurgitating the thing they liked as a kid for the sake of posting curated gifs on their feeds.theres nothing wrong with being inspired by the past, but you need to stop copying it.
>>724735994I'm not a furry and I'm not going to play this but the howl at the beginning mixed with the PSX graphics was soulful.
>>724744883It's been a while since I've seen a 3D platformer be linear, someone should do that.
>>724744846
>>724736331title?
>>724745039
>>724736108you just KNOW the person making this is the biggest furfag you've ever seen
>>724745204
>>724745020The textures are too fake looking to be soulful, devs at the time tried to hide big blocky pixels and tried to avoid shit like this by focusing texture resolution on important parts
>>724743185Flapping might be too overpowered for level design. But if you could at LEAST glide like batman, doing accelerated dives and turns, it would immediately be a 10/10 for me. Instead it's always the most straight, fixed-speed/angle hover-esque unfun bullshit. It's more like a slow-fall than actual flying.
>>724745271
>>724745039I wish I saw this style more outside of point-and-clicks/traditional adventure games
>>724740587Looks cool, what is this?
>>724737521>thought the game looked cool>downloaded it>didn't know about the ryonahaven't felt so sad playing a game in a long time, had to uninstall
>>724742015good turn based games are more about strategy and planningbad turn based games are simply "monster just keeps attacking and every once and then he'll use a status effect that you have to remove so he can keep attacking"that webm is like a rock paper scissors match that goes on too long
>>724742015RTWP sucks, yeah.
>>724739801the funny thing is that it CAN be enough, but only 1% of indie devs make schmoovement good and varied enough to last the length of an actual game
>>724737468its running into the unity assets problem where it feels like everyone downloads the same models or texture packs over and over
>>724735994>Furshit rollslop
>>724745272it looks fine to me
>>724745213He's a fart inflation fetishist. Someone alerted me to this when I said this looks somewhat interesting in another thread.
>>724738449>the anon shilling this game he is making everywhere just stole the combat from DD
>>724745597this was 100% made by a tranny
>>724745624See how they tried to reduce the size of the pixels on the face despite the low detail, only on the chest are the pixels really big and blocky, funnily enough the opposite is true on the wolf model and the chest has a higher resolution than the face
>>724741389This. So many indie games these days are just really uninspired knockoffs of older games. I wish there was more originality.
>>724745793and the fuck's Itsuno gonna do?
>>724736331>we want the Toribash audience
>>724745624NTA but do you really not see the difference? A lot of these "PS1 style" indie games are far TOO pixelated, low resolution and blocky. It's clearly a case of people aping a concept of an aesthetic without actually engaging with it themselves.
>>724745896let's be real, this looks 10x better than Toribash
>>724739801>>724745538>schmoovementGo back to twitter, looney troons.
>>724735994>>724736108kill yourself furfag
>>724745980Toribash didn't have to look good, it was really fun
>>724736331Hey, it's like Arco but with more options and a melee focus.
why are they all furry animal protagonists
There are too many indie games. Nobody is going to succeed if the market is flooded.
>>724745996there was some gravity rush like game that came out a few months ago that's the best recent example I can think of. Can't remember the name though. It was some mage girl with a massive ass
>>724743213>mid air jump>mid air dives (mario odyssey style)>glidingLazy cheap correction-enabling moves that make mid-air movement super broken. You end up practically flying across the whole level. Very unsatisfying>dive rollsTired of dark souls slop with invisible frames. There are more creative ways to dodge or block instead of this shitty trope>rail grindingJust boring automatic shit. Never liked it in Sonic, don't like indies doing it.
>>724741389>>724745871i don't mind, there is enough innovation but I can understand why a lot of people look at the current state of different franchises and say "i'll make the successor we should've fucking had"
>>724745941a lot of retarded muh "retro" devs aren't really paying attention to what old games actually looked likethey just do low poly models with low res textures and slap on some hideous low res rendering, texture wobble and vertex jitter which results in an ugly ass game that doesn't even look retro
>>724741389So should Sony or whoever made Spyro have the monopoly on that type of game and no one else can make more of it?
>>724746402Precisely.
>>724746157metro gravityI played the demo, its not good
>>724745838Definitely. You can tell by the good aesthetics and well-made animations.
>>724745272Soul changes with time. Before, developers tried to hide the pixelization and make the graphics look as realistic as possible. Now everyone realises realism is fucking gay and a couple well-placed pixels is all you need.
Too much fur. Where are the ones with a little girl protagonists?
>>724746593found the tranny that made it
>>724746593makes me sad, mainly because they are really talented people but you just know they'll eventually implode, be outed as a sex pest or worse, in jail or suicideit's like a 1/50 chance of them actually finishing a project, that's why they do better as jannies rather than devs
>>724736331This looks really cool if instead of timestop it slowed down and the menus were better somehow.
why is it all pixelated furry clones of old nintendo games
>>724746148It's easy. Just make a good game that people want to play.
>>724746592fair enough, I thought it was ok. Not good enough to buy yet though
>>724735994PS1 graphics are truly the lazy pixel art of the 2020s
>>724746828because it's not legal to kill furfags yet
>>724746828they don't call them n!ntoddlers for nothing
>>724745980No, not really. The pixel cancer is pretty obnoxious. And looks shouldn't be a strong point for a game that came out 15+ years later. That should be the norm, actually.
>not a single good game in this thread
>>724746885i don't care as long as it has style to itunfortunately, most of these don't
>>724736219These is the worst trend in game dev and the reason shit like Penny's Big Breakaway flopped.If the big appeal of your videogame is>WAOW YOU CAN DO FANCY SHMANCY MOVEMENT AND SKIP HALF THE LEVELYou don't have a good base game. People shouldn't want to, or be encouraged to skip large sections.
>>724736331I wanna see this, but with the ability to control multiple characters.
>>724746662I shed my hate for them when I watched a No Clip "documentary" on Bloodborne demake.>>724746731Mental illness is no joke. I wonder what Terry Davis would be working on today, or what he'd say about the AI trend.
>>724736331Sovl. I imagine you would mostly use hotkeys so combat wouldn't be stopped as much
>>724745871Some of the indie clones look cool, names?
>>724736108>furry totk10 bucks says no one will criticize it because its okay as long as you dont perceive it effecting the likelihood of a fucking oot remake.
>I am tired of indie games doing xyzI for one am tired of you contributing absolutely nothing to the thread
I get most indie games want to be like those old n64 or old xbox/ps1 platform jumping games or resident evil 1 themed but anyone know any indie games similar to something like half life 1 or those old fps games in general
>>724746609>Now everyone realises realism is fucking gay and a couple well-placed pixels is all you need.This is what devs were doing back then and it's absolutely not what indies are doing
>>724746731The problem is they have a propensity of injecting their fetishes in their games to the point that it can be extremely distracting being so on the nose it's as though it's on purpose. There's a different between making a game while it just so happens the dev's a degen and blatantly putting your fetish in a game.Trannies will argue calling that out as being "obsessed", but honestly it's no different than when furfags do it or when other fetishists do it and they make it extremely apparent despite saying otherwise. I remember a failed kikestarter indieshit action platformer where all the characters had plus-sized body types and when looking into the creator he had a fat/inflation fetish. The game looked both boring to play and look at.
>>724748513
>>724745597>horror game
>>724748571what are they not doing exactly?
>>724748817Placing pixels well
>>724748850yeah, indies have smaller dev studios, sometimes 1-2 dudes instead of 4-5 so they can't make sure every pixel is perfectly placed. don't like it? don't play it.
>furry game>furry game>furry game>furry game>furry game>They all look alike
>>724748927Nah they're vain whores who think pixels were ever the point instead of just the medium
>>724748598This one is absolutely going to be a FOTM hit when it comes out
>>724749015and you're a little bitch whining about it
>>724749015do people just pretend that the PS1 era wasn't filled with garbage? for every successful platform mascot around, there were like 50 failed attempts that were quickly forgotten, the difference is that nowadays it's cheap to make and indie developers at least won't try to fuck you out of 60-90 bucks
>>724749175What the fuck does that have to do with anything
>>724746885You faggots are never satisfied. You wanted pixelshit on the level of Owlboy and when you get it, you still complain or ignore it and then say the style's a "crutch" anyway. Then when you get indieshits like Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Ori and the Blind Forest, you just say it's shit or ignore it and it's "derivative and uninspired". You're like a pretentious bitchy teenager who hasn't grown up and wants to go back to the good old days.
>>724748598>>724749017i don't understand what you do in this gamei know it's a visual novel but the trailer goes too fast to gleam anything else from it
>>724749256you're pretending ps1 games were all perfect 10/10s with well-intended pixelization
>nostalgiabait graphics>flashy, hype-generating mechanics like grappling hooks or weird weapons>some kind of monster girl>artstyle reminiscent of a critically acclaimed PS1 gamehey look its every 'coming soon' indie game for the next three years. release date for Divine Frequency when
>>724735994>PS1 style>Dark Souls combatLike I know making a game takes skill and I appreciate what's done, but at this point i have seen both of these 7,524,414 times and it's kind of old
>>724749435I'm not, I'm saying that even bad examples understood the actual point and looked better than indie trash, and indeed the PS1 Hagrid model looks better than the indie wolf since it doesn't try to highlight the pixels
>>724738540wow its genshin impact but without titties
>>724749585some people like the pixelization. just like with VHS, what was previously al imitation of technology becomes a unique style.
>low poly indie game>doesn't have coombait characters>doesn't have high rez texturespass
>>724749783>WHERE ARE MY ANIME TITTIES AIEEEEEEbroken mind of a gacha coomer
>>724741389Why make something original when clones sell
>>724749850really how many original video game ideas can there be
>>724735994>>724736108>>724736219>>724736331>>724736813Can you niggers say what the names of these games are
>>724739012What an eyesore
>>724741389yeah this is really strangetheres like 15 of these in this threadlike bro u spent years learning how to dev, and then years making something, and you just end up with some generic banjo and kazooie shit. come on
>>724745384>r/socialistgamingUpdooted my comrade, and may there be many walkable cities in your future
>>724749074Keep making shitty games then, anonI'm sure someday you'll get a big streamer to play your lazy uninspired trash and you might even make enough to move out of your basement
>>724745597pov im watching babby's first godot experiment
>>724740987for me its indie devs shit character designsthisfootball head sonic ripoffsparkythat one ugly cown thingthey dont get if the mc is ugly n oone is going to play
>>724749803You are delusional if you think these indie devs are mimicking the worst of bad PS1 graphics "because they like it" instead of doing it because they are either lazy or shit at graphics
>>724738449>Freeze framesLove it, aggydaggynon
>>724750241i hate posts like this but i have to agree the game feels like a modern daily show skit. like ya man parking lots are ugly, what biting social commentary.
>>724750375you think the millions of people who play these games and like the artstyle are lying?
>>724750361it's a shame too. everyone was saying how penny's big breakaway has fun movement mechanics and shit but i just can't get over how shitty the character design is. and it's not even about the character being ugly, it's about them looking stupid as fuck. pic related is an ugly motherfucker but he still managed to be fucking based
>>724750375i dont think its that hard to believe its a hundred people who all had the same idea.
>>724750758maybe the guy is a genius and deving the ultimate streamer bait. ooh wow roller coaster tycoon but r/FuckCars? dued hasan albi is going to LOVE this epic win game brotherbut no sadly theres just this many annoying stupid faggots everywhere at all timesits even worse than seeing how many browns there are everywhere at all times
>>724749948Ace Combat
>>724750297what is it about indie games causes autistic retards to piss and shit their pants like this?
>>724738449UI looks too modern for how shitty the graphics are
>>724746837That’s hilariously wrong.
>>724746731This desu. Trannies can be "cool" the same way incels can( wonder why) as in sometimes you'll get a wildly passionate autist that's just hellbent on doing their thing no matter what, but as you've said it the chemical castration and mental issue angle makes it a fate far less successful
>>724750971The worst thing about it to me is that it could've just been a goofy game with jokes about exaggerated capitalism or something but they had to go on and harp about actual politics in it. In the past it would've been tongue in cheek humor like the older Sim and Tycoon games, now it's some faggot addicted to social media regurgitating whatever political talking points he had in his algorithm into his game.
>>724751661Sounds like you can't make a good game that people want to play.
>>724751880>Trannies can be "cool" the same way incels canI want this poster publicly permabanned with a sticky on the top of the board showing it.
>>724752139I don’t make games. I also don’t sift through the dozens of slop shit uploaded to Steam every day. The market is saturated, everybody is doomed to fail.
>>724738449>Dragon's Dogma but Zelda health with hitstop for every single hitcome on man
>>724752171What did i do...
>>724735994Imagine spending all that time to make a game and then throw it away making the MC a furry
>>724746418it's not that no one can make more, it's that they will always come across as a copy. look at that bat game. it's identical to spyro in virtually every way. if i made "radioactive decay" where you play as gordin freemin and fight the combone, should i get the credit or should valve?
I'm trying to make a webm with the mpv script but it keeps coming out with a ton of artifacts
>>724747786>fell for propaganda
>>724750102It takes years to develop just one game, might as well make something you and others will enjoy playing. Otherwise your game is gonna be so obscure even an upcoming indie games thread of /v/ won't post webms of it.
>>724738449This looks like one of those fake games on NCIS or those other crappy TV shows
>>724745384Average american zoning
>>724752281looks like ass
>>724752281It triggers my autism when a weapon is glued to the body magically. Why is he swinging with only one hand? The animation quality is great and sells the weight but the premise is stupid, he should be using his left hand or hold something in it.
embarrassing thread
>my indie game mogs all of theselove being an ideafag
>>724736108what fucking game?!
>>724735994There is no fucking reason to make games look this badYou can easily make them textures not look like total dogshit now
>>724735994These retro game look worse than the game they're trying to emulate, and that's a fact
>>724753597I have weapon stances, that was recorded before I implemented them. This example uses the same animation for the combo but each stance is different.
>>724736331why would they waste such cool animations on this trash combat system lmao
>>724749948>begging to be spoon fedLurk moar, faggot
Lets see what we have here tonight...>Zelda, but furfag>Dark Souls, but furfag>Jak and Daxter, but furfag>Symphony of the Night? Interesting! Ope. But furfag.And to round it all out, the usual loli and shota platformer slop. Daring tonight, aren't we /v/?
>>724754740>the usual loli and shota platformer slopwhere?
>>724735994This shits fucking gay.>has a shield>rolls around like a twat instead
>>724752210And yet new games come out all the time to find success in this saturated market. What sets them apart I wonder.
>People join thread just to be upset>Start to shitpostWhy don't you just leave the thread?
>>724752526ask gippity to make you an ffmpeg script
>>724754147neat
>>724737521>>724740202>>724745419spoonfeed a nigga please
>>724741389Yeah. It's baffling. The thing that bothers me is that they clearly love these games enough to dedicate all that time and effort to developing their personal "love letter" to them, only to shamelessly copy aspects of the game that they shouldn't. Like in the WebM in the post you're replying to, it's obviously ripping off Spyro, but not just the gameplay:>collectibles contained in arbitrarily placed boxes that the character breaks open>collectibles are rendered as rotating 3D icons in the UIObviously Spyro gems. But why design it this way when the character is a bat? Spyro breaks open boxes with his headbutt and fire breath. "Well, because I'm copying Spyro, so...">the way the enemy NPC animates is extremely reminiscent of Spyro, with the model stretching and contorting>the soft, pastel palette of the environment>the level is floating in an open void with a vast, painterly skyboxAgain, Spyro, and then the worst offender>the "lift" entity at the end uses the exact same spiral effect as SpyroThere's a difference between paying homage and just making a cheap copy of something.
>>724756050sorry I don't feel comfortable doing so. It's not for the faint of heart
>>724754147I don't know if it's something you plan to fix, but your animations are pointless if you don't also animate the return stroke with equivalent weight
>>724745597this trash was the worst fucking thing at the next fest
>>724756250All in the plan, just getting the framework set up then tweaking each return animation. The knockback is comically strong here, but I just added this function.
>>724749015Why do they have to directly copy the techniques of the era instead of just using them as a base to do their own thing?
>>724756802Make up something brand new right now.
>>724756219please
>>724735994Wow, a gay furry dark souls clone I can't wait.
>>724745204For a second i thought "oh no, another LIMBO clone where you just walk, avoid deaths and watch a boring, unsettling dark background for hours" and then i saw the bosh rush actions bits. Might be worth a while then, i'll see if i can try the demo
why do so many of these look like they're just spyro clones
>>724735994>Indie low poly game>volumetric light sourcesevery fucking time
Any Japanese indie ones
>>724745392last moonhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1108600/Last_Moon/
>>724758352Non-dev here, what's a volumetric light source
>>724735994>dog knight barks and acts like a dogBased. It's funny when anthros still act like dogs instead of humans.
>>724746731I mean, some of history's best artists were usually mentally ill in some fashion. It's no surprise to me so many creators of interesting things tend to be like that.
>Upcoming indie games thread>It's just reskinned nintendo games
>>724756274game name ?
>every single example provided looks like shit, and like a ripoff of someone else's gameIt's always "waaaaah AAA games are all the same", meanwhile it's actually the indie scene that does nothing but copypaste someone else's work in a shittier, often furfag-infused manner.

>>724759312welcome to doll town, it's straight up terrible
>>724741389I get it when it's based on a game series that's been dead for decades. If you want a Banjo-like there's not much out there and Yooka-Laylee is very divisive, so why not make the game you want to play if no one else will?

>>724763185>feetyou got my attention
>>724749930Originality isn't necessary for a good game anyway, if everything is executed well. The problem with a lot of these indie games is not only are they blatantly copying prior games, they are creating a significantly inferior copy in all respects.
>>724762947yep. this thread is actually making me kind of mad to be honest. the amount of effort that was wasted on these terrible ripoff games is so infuriating.
>>724749625Gem.
>>724735994looks extremely gay
>>724740987This has to be the most baffling game ITT. What compelled somebody to make this?
A lot of people ITT seem to dislike the _type_ of games being made, but what _type_ of game would you actually want?I would personally like to see more singleplayer (campaign) FPS indies. Think Halo, Half-Life, etc.
>>724766631I don't think it is the type so much as the poor execution. Conceptually most are furfag fetish trash, they are ugly and the gameplay isn't nearly as polished as the games they ape. Overall just low quality products with no redeeming facets.
>>724767316>I don't think it is the type so much as the poor executionNo the fuck it isn't. Have you played these games? How can you even judge their execution? People are just going off of what the games look like, and they look like vapid unoriginal trash. That's a 100% valid complaint right there, and even if the indie game was somehow "better" than what it's copying the complaint would still be valid. You don't need to make up or assume anything else.
>>724738540what game is this can i play as a girl :x
>>724766631Actual RPGs that aren't ripping off their childhood J/RPG
>>724735994Rare good thread on /v/. Thanks, found a couple of games i didn't know about that look interesting
>>724767726>People are just going off of what the games look like, and they look like vapid unoriginal trash. That's a 100% valid complaint right thereYes anon, that's part of the execution. I mean how well the project is executed in totality. That takes all spects into account, art direction, animation, concept, level design, etc. They overall are substandard products, inferior in every single aspect. It's not the genre they belong to that makes it this way.

https://x.com/kekitopu/status/1918744108316643394/video/1Now this is video games.
>>724738540i'm excited for this game because it is literally the only game i have ever seen even attempt to copy kingdom hearts combat. it looks like a shit game, but i will give it a chance.

I have furry mascot platformer fatigue
>>724769676>wanted a single other instance of that game to exist.Kek, that wording is spot on. Instead of "Inspired by...", the tagline should be "Another instance of..."

>>724738449You show 'em, king. I love seeing you post your progress, godspeed.
>>724770573It's not a game. It's just some animation from twitter this guy keeps posting in these threads for some reason.

>>724770631What a double nigger
>>724749930literally infinitebut most agdg and adgd related people have zero creativity, so they just make a worse copy of a game they saw somewhere and then wonder why it doesn't sellwhy won't anyone buy my product that is just a way worse version of another product they could buy instead? waaaahhhhhh I got unluckyyyy
>>724770743>but most agdg and adgd related people have zero creativityno, that is most people. everyone just chases trends set by a few innovators, and half of the innovators only "innovated" as a fluke while doing a poor job mimicking or trend chasing. this is true across the board, regardless of industry.
>>724770762>>724770801Sir, OP said "upcoming indie games".
>>724736331i can see why this got so many replieswhat a beautiful innovation

>>724741389On the one hand 3D platformers died a long long time ago so I can understand the thought process of "if no one else is making this sort of stuff then I will". On the other hand there sure are a lot of people who had that exact same thought at the exact same time and now all blend together.
>>724738627game?
>>724770916no, it's agdg people tooso, no
>>724771815What's the theme?
>>724735994I fucking want Stars Fox Adventures 2 / an actual Dinosaur Planet brehs....
>>724771738Seems literally on-rails maybe the only agency you have as a player is style points? Either way it has flair and is original so I take notice. Everything else in this thread is soulless derivative slop.
>>724736331Anyone that likes this is a dumb nigger that can't think ahead.
>>724738540is that a fuckign keybladewhat is this
>>724752281Looks dope
>>724771982it isn't unique to agdg people and games that are nothing cookie cutter clones still become successful. creativity is not the barometer for quality nor is creativity even quantifiable.
>>724771815The gameplay shown is just generic platforming that looks very janky and scripted attack animations, anon. It looks pretty average based on that.

>>724773681I'm talking about PS1 games being 240p?
>>724741389>>724771826I think it says something that most of these impressive passion projects are basic platformers. A genre that died out because there was nowhere else to go with it and most players outgrew it.

>>724749948Jackie Chan
>>724770631You have to be shitting meI'll make that game if he won't
half of indie trannies itt think it is the endless jump dash movements that make the game good
>>724773034i am correct because "creativity" is not what matters when it comes to the success of a game or the quality of it. people would much rather slight iteration on the same mechanics and aesthetics that they are used to than novel experiences. it is for this reason that we have the ubiquity of modern control schemes, because most players don't want to learn entire new control schemes for games that they may only spend 5-10 hours on.
>>724773745People would say that about every genre though. jrpg, deckbuilder, action game, etc. People think they're all solved by now.
>>724773745It probably just says that it is one of the easier genres to tackle.
>>724773474They honestly didn't. Like, prior to Souls, action games where you could guarantee being able to press a button to dodge roll aren't something I'm sure even existed. Kingdom Hearts had a roll, but it was always an optional, build based thing you had to earn, and not something you had be default. Zelda had rolling, but that again could be broken by enemy attacks and didn't guarantee invincibility for a dozen+ frames.Dark Souls in principle should have been a huge positive influence on the action genre, as it encouraged deliberate, punishing enemy design that you were forced to respect and couldn't mash through. But the games just kept doubling down on iframe slop mechanics being the main way to play the further they went on, Bloodborne being the tipping point that sent the series into the gutter.
>>724735994Ok but why the animal characters? It's gay.
>>724736331>turn based >still need frame perfect response timelmao this is bad game design 101
>>724773726PS1 games were made for 240p and still made sure to utilize pixel density well for situations that called for it like the protagonist's face, indie games are made for 1080p - 4k and don't even do that, they just shove giant pixels in your face that would look like shit even at 240p and expect their retro game laurels>>724773781Firstly mixels are an entirely 2D phenomenon, in 3D you can talk about texel density and practically every 3D game under the sun varies their texel density since it makes no sense for a random box no one's going to notice to have the same texture resolution like the important things you'll look at up close, and maintaining consistent texel density is incredibly hard and not at all some obvious built in default like in pixel artSecondly the wolf indie game also has varied texel density, it just stupidly makes the face ultra low res and the chest high res which looks like shit
>>724770187the big catch seems like that
I hate indie games almost as much as I hate AAA games
>>724774080>PS1 games were made for 240p and still made sure to utilize pixel density well for situations that called for it like the protagonist's faceIt was made for 240p, that's my point anon, the other one was not, it was most likely not even made as pixel art, just down rezzed with a tool like I said
>>724748621She’s got me scared stiff!
>>724735994looks lame
>>724773962Monster Hunter....
>>724774180And my point is that the least you could do is make your game to look like it's for 240p if it's going to be seen at 4k, and they don't even do that, but expect the adoration and reputation of old games
>>724761824looking forward to that, hyperfunk and hyperyuki snowboard syndicate for the fast and colorful cel-shaded fix.

what is the point of shilling the games here, then you don't even bother to leave the names?
>a game you already know but with furries and/or animeCringe
>>724737521I like how, in contrast to the other games posted so far, you can just immediately tell this game was Japanese made.>>724739019>>724739801It's funny how, on one hand, people are rightly going "hmm, Mario 64 had interesting, advanced movement mechanic that are the kind of thing more games should take advantage of, maybe I should try something like that". And then all of the games that try this end up having you do a billion random things in mid air to skip shit, when what made Mario work so well was how you had a reasonable, but still limited amount of air control and how you set up your jump mattered.
>>724741389>they don't make em like they used to>someone actually does>No that's plagarism!
>>724774434You fell for autistic propaganda, platformers were never about the movement but thousands of autists convinced themselves that they were because the only game they had as a kid, SM64, had nothing going for it except the movement
>>724737521>>724745419Nigga it's just pixels. It's not real.
>>724763185What makes unity slop so easily recognizable?

>>724740987Spyro-like. Interesting.>>724745597Hilarious.
>>724774398MH was incredibly niche and the only one that was really dark souls in the design. Character action games are as fucking far from dark souls as possible and you are absolute disingenuous retard to even try to lump them together.
>>724750102>and you just end up with some generic banjo and kazooie shitI would be legitimately amazed if some indie dev actually managed to pull off something actually as well designed as Banjo-Kazooie straight up. That would be crazy impressive.
>>724742464Yes, but Master of Time remains the best of them.
>>724774586nta but you were looking at kingdom fucking hearts as a comparison to dark souls as a game with a dodge roll. you just said "action game". is DMC not an "action game"? is bayo not an "action game"? you literally said there wasn't a game before dark souls with a proper dodge roll. you can't call people retards when you are this stupid.
How do i make something so new that nobody can say i copied someone else
>>724774750There is nothing new under the sun.

can someone please for the love of god explain to indie devs that games only looked like that due to hardware limitations and trying to fake it makes them look exponentially worse either commit and force render the game at a low rez or fuck off and make it look good

>>724775026you are wrong because your mom cradles my balls as she licks the shaft and kisses the head.
>>724738540my brain registered this as ai slop for the first 4 seconds
>>724740987>what if we made spyro but shitbold move
>>724774713Most action games beforehand were not at all committed to this style of "wait for enemy attack sequence that you've memorized the timing of, press the dodge button right when you get hit to guarantee you will phase through it, regardless of what actual dodge you did". Like, Souls wasn't even focused on this initially, but it quickly became the thing that it and games that copied it were dead set focused on.Ninja Gaiden, in comparison, hardly encourages you to react to everything with dodges. A lot of stuff is just too fast for that to be what you want to do, so while it will do things like throw in unblockable attacks you do have to dodge, it doesn't at all follow what's come to be this 'Souls formula' of dodging.
>>724736219God this is the worst art direction i've ever seen.it's like they had no artsyle in mind and just used cheap unity shaders.
>>724770762>entire playerbase in just one lobbyimpressive
>>724774713I am not the anon who invoked kingdom hearts either. It is obvious that usage and the whole design of how dark souls builds its combat and dodge roll in particular was very novel at the time, MH did had something similar in a way sure but majority of action games at the time really didn't, neither original GoW nor Ninja Gaiden Black or DMC had it the way souls did.
>>724774750Don't obsess over making something new, there's countless games that are called clones or reuse mechanics from some other game, that's how genres are created and how the medium evolves.Before the FPS term was used, FPS games were just called DOOM clones, until enough DOOM clones got made that people called them FPS games. Before CoD got popular, it was called a Medal of Honor-killer but now the CoD-like FPS is it's own subgenre due to CoD's popularlity and nobody cares about MoH.Today, there's many subgenres of FPS like: Arena Shooter (Quake, Unreal, TF2), CoD-like, Milsim, BR, Hero Shooter etcSonic was originally seen as a Mario clone, he was created because Yuji Naka played Mario 1 and liked how fast he could complete the levels so designed a Mario clone based on physics, speed, and paying attention to level design and setpieces to maintain your speed. Today, Sonic is his own subgenre of platformer with indies making "Sonic-likes".The medium is always like this. Games used to be called (x)clone or (y)-killer but today they're called (z)-likes. When enough of these games are made, people define it as a genre.The only thing that matters in your game is how you piece everything together as there's a diff between a '-like' game and a ripoff. See >>724740987Only reason people are mean to that is a Spyro-like just needs to have: mini-sandbox levels of collecting items, each level has challenges for variety.Flit however is copying: artstyle, moveset (does a bat play the same as a dragon?), physics. It's just a reskinned Spyro and it's not a spiritual successor as the last Spyro game wasn't that long ago even though it was a remake.Ripoffs are copies, '-like' games take mechanics from past games and do something new with them like how Sonic is different from Mario.
>>724774750make something fun______
>>724738627yeah alright I dig it
>>724736331>Just real-time combat, except you use menus and pause for every action instead of spacing and reacting in real timeI'm sorry, but that's just fucking stupid
>>724773962>the games just kept doubling down on iframe slop mechanics being the main way to play the further they went on, Bloodborne being the tipping point that sent the series into the gutter.Pretty much how I feel. I didn't like Bloodborne that much and didn't bother finishing Dark Souls 3. Haven't touched their stuff since.
>>724775537its also brutally ugly
>>724772974>follows the exact line you want instead of having auto pathing that will be shit anywayhmmmm
>>724772120yes, it is basically a keyblade. i'm really looking forward to it. devs have said the biggest inspirations are kingdom hearts and jak and daxter. game is called duskfade.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2542020/Duskfade/
>>724775185I actually like the artstyle. Reminds me of those animated advertisement banners for browser games you'd find on gaming forums 10-15 yeras ago.
>>724775537>>Just real-time combat, except you use menus and pause for every action instead of spacing and reacting in real timeIsn't it every single webm trying to show how "cool" BotW and ToTK combat is?
>>724738540this games demo is disappointing as fuck.it's UE5 slop to start with and it's very much held back by the engine with horrible looking reflections and ghosting artifacts. it runs terrible for a simple stylized game and the combat feels very jank and weightless.It's so odd the team say they're inspired by Ps2 games like KH2 and Ratchet and clank but don't have the observation and coding skills re-create the satisfying feel of the mechanics.Something like smashing boxes in Ratchet and Clank for instance. They just can't do it.. they don't have what it takes.
>>724775414>>724775493"had it the way souls did" is a very different statement than "action games where you could guarantee being able to press a button to dodge roll aren't something I'm sure even existed."
>>724774203why did you post it?>"I did a faux screenshot of an old DOS space exploration game called Starflight, from 1986!"Is being an obnoxous nigger a mandatory requirment for a furry?
>>724739012kinda looks like Bernband
>>724745717isn't that all furfags? it's kinda implied when you say "hes a furfag"
>>724736813Zach Hadel sim
>>724775640Even in ToTK, you don't have to pause the game to do simple acts of dodging and attacking.
>>724740750>ah it's a zelda clo->suddenly becomes tony hawk
>>724775597I like the style solely because I get to play a big buff shirtless man who rescues 'hot' babes.
>>724737521so...what game?
>>724752210>I don’t make games.why do you care then?
>>724775721I think furfag is kind of like a starting point, and then it branches out into various other depraved and disturbing fetishes. Like combining necrophilia and bestiality by fucking roadkill.
>>724775797alice in cradle
>>724775658You should be able to pick up what I meant from context. Like, the first think I did was start to talk about dodge rolls that other games had, and how relatively limited in use they were compared to how universal they are in function in Souls and how much grace you are given with them. Like, DMC limits you to side rolling while locked on, it isn't built the same way.
Can even a single person in this thread name the game in the OP?
All these games, and still not a single one with an appealing female character inflating like a balloon that isn’t boring fetish slop

>>724776197dunno, but here are the vagrant story/parasite eve clones that i am looking forward to.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3983000/Parasite_Mutant/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3014650/45_PARABELLUM_BLOODHOUND__Cyberpunk_Active_Time_Action/
>>724776257How is it going? Demo was a cool concept but just that, a cool concept. Not sure if you can deliver a fully fledged game with it.
>>724776323>.45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND - Cyberpunk Active Time Actionday one buy or me
>>724776318the schizos who make unique games refuse to market them for some odd reason
>>724776013that art looks pretty retro but why the fuck did the retarded dev include texture wobble
>>724776216that looks pretty good, looking forward to when it comes out
>>724776387this is already out
>>724776426Clearly not.
>>724776328Actually really looking forward to this one, reminds me a bit of Tiberian Sun the style and all, and I fucking loved the visuals on that game.
>>724776416this game is going to be so damn good. demo is fantastic. it is going to be popular here for about a month (maybe a month and a half) before streamers, especially mario 64 speedrunners, pick it up and then people here start to hate it and call it streamerslop.
>>724776416this looks like something made for screenshots to be used as cover art for >500 listen soundcloud songs made 12 years too late
>>724776416the dev for this also made fatum betula, a very unique game, i enjoyed it a lot
>>724745871whoever wasted their time making this image should get a fucking job
>>724776510>Game is basically Castlevania x Kingom HeartsI've always wanted a game like this, but it does look extremely janky
>>724776674Wasn't this cancelled?
>>724735994the bark was cute
It's demotivating that I can code well and pay attention to important polish details that all the great games have, but in the end that won't matter because 3D modeling is outside of my toolset, so low poly like n64 and ps1 games is all I can do. And it'll get grouped with the rest of those style games and get called indie slop. At the very least I'll try to stylize the models, like older falcom games like zwei 2 and gurumin.
>>724776692I don't think it was ever real.
Already sick of the low poly meme
>>724736219it's like they removed everything cool about the previous game and then made every character a quirky chungus
>>724776257I love the concept, but I'm hoping it feels like the final game has more substance. Right now it's just arcadey and feels like there's little reason to engage with the respawning enemies.
>>724776727so find someone who can model
>>724742807Well meme'd, my friend
unironically all this talent is disheartening.because im a no-talent
>>724776697looks kind of cool, but the floatyness and slo-mo ruins it.
>>724776758Can't. I am too poor to even buy marketplace assets with my current job.

>>724776697I'm sick of 3D indies drawing textures with pixels. Not pixelated textures, the pixels are the textures.
>>724776510I don't know when exactly I became a grafixfag but it really sucks when you find a cool premise that's fucked because of a really poorly implemented aesthetic.
>>724776838Looks pretty good. Not on steam?
>>724776776neat schmovement. generic setting
>>724740987cant find this shit on steam. where is it?
>>724776848Easiest way of getting the effect without dropping the internal res to like 240P or 480P.
>>724776776Actually looks breddy gud
>all the cynical cunts ITTaren't you tired of being like this? maybe you all need to get a job
>>724771760it suffers from being an unreal engine game i.e. corridors slapped together with loading zones and invisible walls
>>724777038that's rather cynical of yoube better
>>724777004I was more talking about the animation, the horse at the start of the steam trailer+some of the combat animation+the look of the monsters, just an instant turnoff.
>>724775925>Trying to sell a mediocre game with pixelated cakeI've read the reviews and pirated it already, if the dev(s) actually spent more time playtesting instead of trying to bait players into playing the game it might have actually been good.
>>724777081Oh shit, it was meant for >>724776792
>>724746593Well men do make the best games after all
>>724775689To piss you off.
>>724772974only good thing in the entire thread, what a grim year for original indie games
Can't believe Kingdoms of the Dump is coming out in two weeks
>>724745039Oh shit did the same guys make the flash game?
>>724777751looks like shit
>>724763185Kannagi Usagi clears this slop
>>724774203>>724775689I love space exploration games and found Starflight amazing. Huge sector to explore with easily a thousand planets with terrain maps to travel with a ground vehicle, all in 720kb. Was great finding ruins which either had artifacts or lore leading to the next planet to explore. Keep hoping to find an other game like it.
