you now remember Bug Fables
i actually do not
>>725931070fun gameits kinda baffeling that nintendo is so fucking stubborn and prideful that they refuse to make shit tons of people want because..... "we already did this before" as if there is no room for creativity or novelty within an established formula.Good for indies for doing what nintendon't anymore.
it's a good attempt but I feel like it proves that people aren't that interested in a paper mario sequel as much as they claim they are
>>725932405they want paper MARIO , not paper BUGS
i never forgot it. it's better than paper mario.
>>725932262they literally give you all 3 mario rpg series recently and they all floppedthere's no martket for italso this game got astroturfed to hell and back
>>725932405paper mario trannies are deluded thinking their trash is relevant. they are autistic and arlo is a faggot
Can we just get to the bug lewds already?
>>725933561shitty sequels that completely miss the point and remakes/remasteres don't countIt also has to actually be good.
It was a good game and I had fun
I remember looking at gameplay, and the attacks felt stiff. like it was Point A to B to C within 3 seconds without help of curve speed and such.I don't know how to describe it, it's just the combat pace felt off.Also i wanna architect the bee
>>725931070sequel was better
>>725931070I liked itwhen it was new anons were bitching that the blue one used the word "we" like it was a neopronoun. In actuality he used it's because he's a royal blue moth and his use of the royal "we" is a humorous vocal tick
>>725934709Anon, he used "they/them" because he's literally two people.
>>725931070Why haven't they made anything else, or a sequel? They are /v/fags, so I know they see people here asking for it.
>>725935419Supposedly they are working on something else, but all the talk on it must be in the bug fables discord or something, and fuck going to check that
I loved this game
>>725931070you FOOL, i was already downloading it!
>>725936760Make sure to play it on hard mode otherwise the game is piss easy.
Has anybody tried that bug fables plus mod? Is it any good?
>>725935115akshually he's a fungus zombie
>>725938549the fungus counts as a person
>>725932405I'm a huge PM fan, and while I was interested in Bug Fables, I didn't buy it because, as it happens, it's not Mario. I ended up giving it a chance recently, and I loved it. I'm willing to bet it's the same for a lot of people, except most of them never give it a chance.
>>725931070i tought the bee with the boomerang was cute
>>725931070Unironically a pretty good game, though I feel like by the end of the game there's not much point to using Kabbu as a damage dealer, Leif and Vi are just so much better for status effects/Ice Rain and multi hits respectively. But trying to set up for Danger Vi strats is also pretty fun.Also came back after they did the update, and I actually did find myself enjoying the game more, if only because all the extra medals available made the early game that much better. Plus the bonus boss added Team Snakemouth was a fun addition and added another nice challenging fight.Intercourse with Mothiva.
>>725942116>acts like a huge cunt to you for the entire gamewhat the FUCK was Mothiva's problem
>>725942735More like what's Zasp's problem? He had to have been saved by her at some point or something, that's the only explanation for his eternal simp status
>>725942735>worked her ass off to be recognized as both one of the top adventurer guild teams as well as being a musical star>Team Snakemouth steal all the glory in a matter of days>also Zasp has to play the simp rather than just banging her
Why did E33 succeed but Bug Fables and M&L rpg flop?
>>725942735unchecked narcissism
>>725942116abdomen MOGGED
>>725942116>Moth girlsAnymore moth girls? I might buy it just for her. Not enough moth girls in games.
>>725931070Fuck off, Tad.
>>725944029She's the only moth girl that makes a impact in the story really, rest are just side characters
>>725933561>bots bottingWow so its nothing
>>725944295The one on the left is also a slutty belly dancer archetype that mind controls one of your male party members with her pheromones
>>725944295why her pussy burping
>>725944941oh i thought she was just stinky
>>725944429That's just Steams "share that i wishlisted this" setting.
>>725944029It's been a few years since I played it, but from what I remember, >the mothboy MC's extended family in the main town>the silk maker girl in the desert town>the mantis knight's challenged adopted daughter >the one moth girl in fishnets on the rich island>I don't actually know what species the traveling musician is meant to be, but I'll add them here
>>725945073Then its even less than nothing
>>725931070I remember this game every time I look at my steam library. Been meaning to finish it, since I only played like 6 hours.
>>725945010The artist really could have picked a better color
>>725945163>>I don't actually know what species the traveling musician is meant to beBee fly and best girl
>>725945265i find pink is a universally good perfume/pheremone color
>>725945163The traveling musician is a beefly, but there's also the tea shop moth on metal island
>>725936810>>725944295Thanks going to pick this game up
>>725945379>2 berries to play mecha bee blast overlord>best girlNah thats Vi but she's still up there
>>725943176I remember reading something from the creators that implied Mothiva and Zasp are actually in a romantic relationship of some kind, but nothing in the actual game implies it. Given context clues though, and seeing as how Zasp is one of the few good Wasps in the game, I imagine he got kicked out for the mind control not working on him (possibly because one of his antennae is bent), and Mothiva sort of accepted him and took him in after he arrived in the Ant Kingdom, the same place that eventually had trouble with the neighboring kingdoms and would hate the Wasps. Then it'd made sense that he's absolutely head over heels for her and would choose to do whatever she wants vs. what's reasonable. Again, nothing in the game fully confirms it, but it makes sense to me.
>>725945202Correct, I'm not sure what they were trying to prove.
>>725945469Just know Mothiva is kind of a bitch and her team is sort of a Team Rocket style group. But people still tend to like her because she's at least a fun jerk.
>>725945379>pick a song I want to listen to>find a spot on screen to just sit and chill atComfy.
>>725945784>Team Rocket style groupHuh? No? She's a retarded idol, and zasp is a simp but even hes not really down for her tomfoolery
>>725945591>I imagine he got kicked out for the mind control not working on himI always figured Zasp was a different species of wasp and, thus, not affiliated with the wasp kingdom. Similar to how Crisbee is a different species of bee and not a part of the hive
>>725931070Anymore Paper Mario inspired RPGs I need to look out for?https://store.steampowered.com/app/1996390/Escape_from_Ever_After/
>>725946043I did t really mean they're necessarily evil or anything, they're just a minor annoyance that gets in the protagonist's way from time to time, and when Zasp does separate from her from time to time he's a chill guy. Just like how Team Rocket are a bunch of buffoons who aren't really evil to their core and are mostly an annoyance.
>>725946773Oh in that sense I guess your right, kind of. Still the only one of them I think is actually annoying is mothiva. Now monsieur scarlet. Thats a real annoying piece of shit
>>725932405You're such a moron it makes my blood boil.Exactly, what the fuck does Bug Fables have to do with Paper Mario beyond the artstyle?They aren't fucking similar in the slightest, Bug Fables never even acknowledges the fact that everything is made out of paper, it's literal just an artistic choice, while in Paper Mario you can turn 90° to become invisible, can roll up into tubes, origami yourself into a fucking boat and whatever other paper activity you care to engage with.People that specifically want a Paper Mario sequel will get pretty much fucking nothing from Bug Fables, beyond some extremely surface similarities.>Turn based combatLike any fucking RPG>Can cook ingredientsIt's a fucking crafting mechanic>Can equip badges for skillsEquipment based skillset is so fucking common, is Terraria also similar to Paper Mario then?Bug Fables is an RPG that only shares Paper Mario's visuals, everything else is standard RPG shit and it stands as its own fucking game.Retards that try to push the idiotic idea that the two are similar beyond a very surface level similarity should have their hands cut off to avoid them talking about games they never even played.
sex with the bratty bee creature
>>725947669Holy meltdown
it's a nice indiehope the devs make something new soon
>>72594776159th post best post
>>725947669Out of all Paper Mario games, the first one seems to be the biggest inspiration for Bug Fables (down to a fortune teller who resides in a desert town and grants the same powers), and the "paper" aspect in PM64 was trivial at most since it was just supposed to be Super Mario RPG 2 at first, so, the Paper Mario comparison remains valid. I'd suggest you calm your fucking tits.
God Vi is so hot, I want a bee gf so bad bros..........................
>>725948547Moths are hotter desu
>>725948682Moths dont live as long as bees
>>725947669>I never played Paper Mario and have only seen youtubers play TTYDthanks for letting us know.I actually did want a Paper Mario sequel and got a whole lot out of Bug Fables. It's a great game.Mechanically the game is nearly identical to Paper Mario, both in its combat systems and world exploration. The key difference is that instead of Mario + Partner it's a team of three equal characters. The devs are very open with their Paper Mario influence. It's no secret. Why try to pretend like it's not there?
>>725948547Put enough berries in front of her face and I'm sure you'd be able to come to some sort of agreement.

Uuuuuhhhhhhh
>>725950446
>>725950728>Hornet finds Bugaria>confused to find a thriving kingdom that's mostly doing fine outside of the Dead Landers existing
>>725931070I never forgot. I was thinking about it just yesterday.
>>725947669>talking about games they never even playedyeah it's pretty fucking evident you haven't touched any of them, you goddamn moron
>>725931070I remember it being really boring. boring dungeons with boring puzzles, slow-ass abilities, and enemy HP/DEF scaling faster than your ability to do damage unless you follow a guide or just do every possible optional piece of content. Why make permanent ATK stat boosts optional when Paper Mario made them mandatory?
>>725952046because game is actually designed to be challengingwant the paper mario experience - take your hardmode medal off. if you have trouble playing even then, i worry for your cognitive abilities
>>725935419iirc there was an old interview at some point and one of the devs said that they definitely don't want to go here anymore
>>725946501There was seahorse saga but I think it died
>>725952648I didn't say I had trouble, just that it was boring.
>>725953263Sad.... I kinda forgot about that one. Just remembered The Outbound Ghost is getting a sequel surprisingly.
>>725953589>>725953263>>725946501there was also born of bread but it seems to have got mixed reviews
>>725951349>explains it away as there not being a pale being there to make it all about them
>>725931070The game is awesome but the quest dumps the game does suck ass. It's the same issue ttyd had where every chapter of the game dumps 4-6 quests on you that you feel obliged to do because if you don't they will likely stack up and it is such a pace breaker
>>725955213As opposed to the conventional final fantasy/any SE rpg method of dumping 90% of the optional content at "endgame"?
>>725955213>HOW CAN THEY MAKE OPTIONAL CONTENT?! AAAAIIIIIEEEE SAVE ME NIGGERMAN I CAN'T FINISH THE GAME UNLESS I DO ALL THE SIDE CONTENT!!!
>>725946501>Anymore Paper Mario inspired RPGs I need to look out for?If you're looking for one that's out, try Reindeer Story.
>>725956587Looks a little amateurish, but I did think the same about Bug Fables before playing and loving it so I'll keep it wishlisted. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>725956587>Reindeer Story.I have this but haven't played it. Is it any good?
I bought a switch copy of this game and never played it
>>725959330Well fucking get to it then, li'l buddy
Why is it so common for indie devs to make one game and never be able to make a second game after that?
>>725959980no one bought it, duh
>>725959980The Bug Fables devs said they are working on another game, and they were considering doing another Bug Fables game afterwards. Also I guess there's some legal issues with them and the publishers of the game, so take that how you will.
>>725959980Ask Elvis Costello
>>725932405Well yeah. People like paper mario due to cultist reasons, they don't actually like the gameplayJust look at how well received origami king was received despite it being literal shovelware.
>>725931070Sequel when?
>>725957935>I have this but haven't played it. Is it any good?Yeah its simple to begin with but increasingly ramps up as you get more equipment and skill baubles. Platforming is a bit janky and the writing is pretty cheeky more like N64-era Rare than Nintendo.
>>725931070I never forgot about itThe real post to make though is why has a sequel never been made despite how successful it wasI wonder what the anon that made it is doing
>>725961662>>725961812>>725960494
>>725960494>Also I guess there's some legal issues with them and the publishers of the game, so take that how you will.Why?
>>725962319Dangen are fuckers. There's numerous accusations of them not paying devs, deliberately sabotaging the launches of games they publish in order to manipulate sales, scummy contracts, and abuse of NDAs to prevent public discussion.
>>725947669the original name of the game in the demos was literally "paper bugs"
>>725931070Stop Bug Fables posting and drop the Silksong episode already, Tad.
>>725935419>They are /v/fagsWere. They'd rather rot in their Discord server these days.
>>725931070I never forgot, and its better than Paper Mario
>>725963141is it still full of trannies and no-no word bans? who am i kidding of course it is
>>725963141The devs actually rarely post in the server, they pretty much only dip in to shill an update/merch and then disappear for months
>>725963297at least there's pretty intense game discussion, for a while there were 2 autists getting into full blown arguments over difficulty modding the game and the passive aggressiveness was peak
>>725932262TTYD flopped compared to Origami Chad LOL. The remake proved it was always a cocal minority.
>>725945163>>the one moth girl in fishnets on the rich islandAaaaagh, crush my head, mommy!
>She's a bee so you think her name is pronounced as "Vee">Reveal her real name is Violet so it's actually pronounced as "Vi">Dev states it really is "Vee"
I slept on this game for years. Gave it a go one year ago, it was the most fun I've had in ages. One of those games that made me wish it wouldn't end. Vi a cute.
>>725965012gems in the rough, dont sleep on them
>>725965538I can see a lot of similarities between them, but The Lonesome Guild could've really benefited from having a smaller cast with deeper focus like Bug Fables. Some mechanics like party-member specific overworld abilities and more items that weren't just stat sticks would've also been nice.
>>725950446>that one mosquito girl with the enormous abdomen>Vi comments on it and the others call her out for being crassBased devs
>>725962319The curse of Dangen. Never ever work with them if you're an indie. I don't even know why these games need publishers.
>>725969437we could've had even more though
>>725970946What the FUCK is Genow's problem???
>>725959980because making a game is the hardest thing you can possibly doimagine having to write multiple songs, write a book, draw multiple high quality pieces of art and animation, have to program a robust computer application, AND have to have enough intelligence to design a fun novel concept that actually makes a game worth playing at all and be able to polish ityou have to be good at every single form of art AND have to be technologically gifted in order to make a fucking game, it is an absolutely insane amount of work from a huge amount of already insanely difficult creative fields and you have to do it ALL
>>725970946Genow's a weak niggaGame is worse for it
>>725971910It's weird to me that video games are obviously really hard to make especially compared to just a book or just a comic or drawing yet for some reason it ISN'T harder than making full length animation specifically if we judge by amount made. I feel like logically they should swap places but all the evidence points games being a step of difficulty under animation.
>>725969437>>that one mosquito girl with the enormous abdomen...Wait, who? The only notable mosquito girl I remember is Delilah
>>725971910If they are so hard to make why do we get like 20,000 new ones yearly?
>>725971910You're underselling the real issue, which is that on top of all the aspects of making the game, you need to be able to market it, fund it, and work with platforms for people to play it on. That's in theory what the publisher is for, so that the devs can focus on making the damn thing.
>>725972915Because people have been making art to share with each other for longer than we've had words, and the drive to do so is insatiable.
>>725948321>it's paper mario because aestheticsObviously it is you moron but the game is fundamentally different, if you play Final Fantasy Tactics: Ogre you'll have an incredibly different experience from Final Fantasy Advance Tactics.It's still a top down trpg but it's very clearly not the same experience.>>725949029>Mechanically the game is nearly identical to Paper MarioWhich one?The first one?Not TTYD since clearly that's not good enough.Super Paper Mario then, where there isn't even a turn based combat?Origami King?Color Splash?>The devs are very open with their Paper Mario influenceThat's like saying playing Undertale is the same thing as playing Earthbound, if you like Earthbound it doesn't mean you're going to like Undertale.Or comparing a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game to Metro 2033 or Lobotomy Corporation to Library of Ruina, just because it's a similar concept with similar aesthetics doesn't make the game the same.It's not the same experience even if it was inspired to it.Or should we also compare Neverwinter Nights as Knights Of The Old Republic?>>725951930Oh yeah man Bug Fables is identical to Super Paper Mario, Color Splash and Origami King, they're basically the same fucking thing.>>725962714Your original name was cum but clearly you developed into something else didn't you?It's an RPG game with paper aesthetics, obviously, but beyond being inspired by Paper Mario it clearly does its own thing.Maybe if instead of piling on with the other retards who feel the need to pretend they know what they're talking about you could read what I actually fucking wrote, so you'd know I obviously mentioned the surface level similarities.Beyond that, what exactly makes Bug Fables similar to Paper Mario beyond stylistic choices, none of you morons answered me.Is it the prompts based attacks?Is Lisa The Painful also inspired by Paper Mario then?
I hope some explorers break into my home one day and bring me a gf.
>>725972884Judie. She sells you berry juice.Also fuck fandom for converting every image into a webp if you try to download it
>>725973969why are you like this
>>725974339You acting like there's something wrong about me being a passionate autist about video games in the video game board is genuine cringe.Discuss video games with me, ignore me or fuck off.
>>725972831animation is extremely time intensive work with no shortcuts if you want it to be good, that's the differenceyou can take some shortcuts with games but in terms of man hours I don't think there's anything more intensive than 2D animation and there's literally no way around that hurdle without fundamentally ruining the entire thing it also takes an absolutely mind boggling amount of skill and practice to do truly good animation
>>725974678>passionate autistThere are many adjectives that could apply to you. Verbose. Grandiose. Incessant. Petulant. But I do not believe you have had passion for something a single time in your goddamn life if this is how you spend your time.
>>725971910you're completely right, and if any one of those areas you are forced to be competent in isn't implemented or worked on as well as all other areas well expect your game to be fucking held down in the reviews by>music sucks, what the fuck>art sucks, what the fuck>gameplay sucks, what the fuck>levels suck, what the fuck>story sucks, what the fuckit's an indie scene for lunatics honestly
>>725974809Agreed. A truly great game needs to excel in nearly every aspect but plenty of games get by with unremarkable music, or dodgy art, or a strung-together story. Sure you can't have too many of them be lackluster or it fails to cohere, but the audience can roll with the punches a bit in an interactive medium and find their own fun in a way that animation can't rely on.
i wish the final area wasn't so short, it feels like it ends so abruptly, and the final boss was a pushover
>>725975315>i wish the final area wasn't so shortHonestly I was kinda thankful for it. Fucking Dead Landers, man
>>725962913How the fuck do I know who this is
>>725975147I was thinking more like building a game in unity or something where a lot of the heavy lifting is already streamlined for youNo such thing exists with animation, you have to draw every single line yourself to make a perfect picture and then you have to do it thousands more times for every single frameAnd then you get paid less than a McDonald's burger flipper for it after sleeping at the studio for months and eating nothing but instant ramen to the point your heart fails in your 50s
>>725931070GOD this game was so fun. I let my stupid asshole brother play the game for a bit and he turned on the medal that makes the game harder for higher exp and I didnt discover this until like 12 game hours later. I just thought the game was ass grinding hard after chapter 2.
