what went wrong, /v/?
>>
i imagine McPig doesn't want to do what shovel knight did and milk his success forever
>>
>>729492251
He didn't go back to making a Pizza Tower RPG.
>>
he went off about beatemups in a random reply to a twitter post so i assume he just likes beatemups and wants to make one
>>
>>729492358
oh, an autistic sperg rage. didnt expect that
>>
>>729492251
>makes Wario nostalgia game for himself
>blows up
>popularity starts attracting undertale-esque fanbase
>shoos them away by making a completely different nostalgia game for himself, instead of banking on the popularity by making a same game for a soulless sequel
based
>>
>Noise is half-assed as fuck (no achievements, Noise being forced to play golf when his entire concept as a playable character is ignoring the tower's bullshit, Noise having to use the Gustavo & Brick bars in Pig City otherwise the secrets would be impossible, the co-op mode being so shit)
>no playable Mr. Stick
>no basement levels
Pizza Tower is reclining...
>>
>>729493154
>unable to separate the fandom from the game
>"undertale-esque" fanbase
mcpig barely if all interacts with the fanbase in the way you're talking about, toby fox actively plays into in-jokes and fan theories
im not going to defend toby fox here but pizza tower had something special. it took a warioware esque game and gave it a hook. the speed.
this just looks like a basic ass beatemup with no real vision. there's no hook

>>729493162
>playable mr. stick
>no basement levels
they didn't promise this stuff though did they?
>>
>>729492251
>releases successful game
>actually announces second game and might finish it within two years of original successful hit instead of fucking around for 10 years making a sequel
>>
pizza tower looks like just about the most spastic shit I've ever seen
>>
>>729492251
one small problem

everything you said is wrong, and pizza tower is shit
>>
>>729492251
>game gets like no attention
It has the full attention of arcade/bmup enthusiasts like Boghog
>>
>>729495502
what is the name of this fucking game? and also tell boghog I said he's a stupid faggot who doesn't even know how to make a video game without a ten minute loading screen after every launch.
>>
>>729492251
it's still very early in development and they haven't been showing a lot of it
>>
>>729495682
So far it's name is WOON
>>
Isn't WOON a Toejam and Earl type game?
Not that you can't have beat 'em up gameplay in that, but I thought it was supposed to be like Toejam and Earl, at least, conceptually.
You know, how like Pizza Tower is more its own thing and only barely resembles something derivative of Warioland.
>>
>>729492251
Didn't even know he had a new game in development. But also beat-em-ups are just not a very popular genre, only boomers care about them.
>>
MS Paint-looking slop.

Only because Konami decided that the very best way to handle a licensed game was with a beat-em-up. Also, statistically nothing drained quarters faster than a beat-em-up since most of them had unavoidable damage or even timed damage where you just constantly lost health for playing.

If TMNT, Simpsons, GI Joe, D&D, Aliens vs Predator(Capcom), Avengers (Data East) and X-men weren't big arcade beat em ups, nobody would have cared about the genre and it would have died with Bad Dudes.
>>
ANTONBLAST is better
>>
>>729498994
Look I'm sorry, most of the problems with that game were completely avoidable, and it's entirely on the developer that it sucked.
I genuinely, SINCERELY am really sorry as insulting as it is to say, that Antonblast is to Pizza Tower, what Everhood is to Undertale.

>>game gets like no attention and piggybacks off the first game's style
You mean the fucking artist uses his own style? Say it ain't so nigger.

tranny tower

>>729492251
>10/10, visually fluid and cartoonish
You mean visually garbage. it's inept MS paint shit. The guy is an unskilled retard with zero pixel art skill.
Garbage looking shit just randomly does well. like Minecraft, Noita, Undertale, Celeste, ect.

The market is a randomized simulation. Quality does not matter.
>>
>>729498696
That's not true since it evolved in to modern indepth action games (3D betemup / Hack and slash) thanks to Devil May Cry and oddly enough Kingdom Hearts 1.
>>
>>729500632
i have a feeling this comes from you having a failed indie game or something if you're speaking from experience.
seethe harder, pizza tower is good and the art is great
>>
>>729493676
>warioware esque
what are you yapping about
>>
>>729500632
>old CN style art is bad
Ok zoomie
>>
>>729501426
>ware
my bad my brain completed that by default, you know i meant wario land
>>
>>729501287
Not an argument. you can not argue against the fact the art is shit on a technical level and displays no skill or knowledge in pixel art techniques.

>>729501434
>Cartoon Network
those look way better than poorly drawn MS paint shit.
>>
>>729501618
>muh poorly drawn
Peppino alone has a crazy number of frames for all his animations.
>>
>>729501687
>Peppino alone has a crazy number of frames
and there's a crazy number of pajeets in India. That doesn't doesn't make it any less of a shithole.
>>
>>729498994
No but it's alright.
>>
>>729501846
Oh, okay. You're a retard who doesn't know anything about the subject. Thanks for wasting my time I guess.
>>
>>729492251
The issue is, while it is great, it's worse than Celeste in every way, and I just wish I was playing that instead.
>>
>>729502021
Ah yes as every artist and animator knows if there's a lot of your horribly garbage drawings.. the quantity suddenly makes them become good.

>Noise Update was half-assed because of two levels
>based on an assumption about the character that isn’t even true
>especially when the golf level is actually maybe the one time that this is true (Noise rewrites the score card so he’s always on par)
No new achievements kinda stunk though, I’ll agree.
>>
>>729493162
Noise ignores the par, he cheats, you can just whack the ball guy all you want and not have to count shots or really aim at all.

>>729492251
>new game has a weird name that's nowhere near as memorable too: Woon
I think PT could've gotten one (1) more big update, that's all. Just one. Probably not a new character unless that was promised somewhere, but maybe a hard mode, or some new levels, or something, IDFK.

>YCG makes Shovel Knight into a big hit
>becomes the darling, the posterchild of the entire indie industry
>even becomes an AT in Smash
>moves all their shit to one of the more expensive parts of California, within walking distance of Hollywood (or they were already there, I forget)
>works on like 6 games at once, and only like two get released, with SK being the only hit so far
>gets forgotten by the entire indie industry
>CA cost of living drains the hell out of the company and they have to cancel everything but Mina the Hollower
>MtH is a "GBC" game you can't play on GBC (because it's widescreen), looks like absolute ass when blown up to 1080p/4k (because it's a fuckin' GBC game with a GBC screen res but wider), and doesn't have that "iconic" appeal of a knight with a shovel
>also the game isn't furry enough or hi-res enough for furries to care outside of a couple promo pics of Mina
-
>this is all equal to a French-Canadian guy from Quebec making one big hit, giving the game some bugfixes and a content update before moving on to making some low-effort shovelware with a weird name

>>729498994
lol, lmao
>>
>>729492251
>piggybacks off the first game's style
Why the fuck wouldn't McPig use his own art style for his own game?

...Unless anon posts his own failed game and risk being doxxed.

Here's good pixel art.
Die of embarrassment at the pure contrast to your MS paint garbage that looks like it was drawn by a toddler.
>>
>>729503725
That looks extremely gay anon

Like, damn. How is that supposed to be an actual argument against the other guy?
