What do you think about his upcoming sokoban that has been in development for 10 years?Here are some gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=320&v=SXQ2NZ0Eclo
>>730578967Just looks like he ripped off https://store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/Isles_of_Sea_and_Sky/
Looks like a game for people who like to drink beer and get drunk and smoke weed and get high
>3k viewslmao it's actually going to flop and he's gonna kill himself isn't he
Heroes of Sokoban was fun (fuck the bard though) and the mirror game was a neat concept. I like Blow's games even though I think he's a pretentious twat so I'll probably play this one.

what is ze star sinking about
this blowkino is going to flop, isn't it?
>>730578967Really looking forward to it. Might end up being the biggest block pushing game ever.>>730579138Order of the Sinking Star has been in development for longer than Isles of Sea and Sky was a concept. In actuality, he ripped off the following games. And when I say "ripped off", I mean that all of them are directly in the game.>North: Heroes of Sokobanhttps://sites.math.washington.edu/~ostroff/puzzles/Heroes_of_Sokoban.htmlhttps://sites.math.washington.edu/~ostroff/puzzles/Heroes_of_Sokoban_II_Monsters.htmlhttps://sites.math.washington.edu/~ostroff/puzzles/Heroes_of_Sokoban_III_The_Bard_and_The_Druid.html>East: Mirror Isleshttps://alan.draknek.org/games/puzzlescript/mirrors.php>West: Promessthttps://silverspaceship.com/promesst/https://silverspaceship.com/promesst2/>South: Skipping Stones To Lonely Homeshttps://alan.draknek.org/games/puzzlescript/skipping-stones.php
>>730579138It's one of the most common puzzle genres, anon, and the mechanics are compeltely different to that one... you dissapoint me.
he spent 10 years making sokobani would have hoped it would be the greatest sokoban ever but i'm not optimistic about thiswhat would the greatest sokoban even be? can anything ever top baba is you?
>>730581936By volume, it's already probably the biggest. By puzzle quality, the mechanics of the base games are pretty good even on their own, so making them interact and adding a vertical component is definitely promising. And a good chunk of puzzles were designed by Jack Lance.
>>730581578To early to tell. There will definitely be a better trailer for the release date, and after that, if the game is good, word of mouth will do its thing.
>activist bloggers will trash it because of Blow's social media posts and stream comments>regular people won't enthused about a grid-based block-pushing game>even if it actually has some deep and interesting game design ideas, that's not marketable in video clips and people will roll their eyes and not believe itI predict a flop and a ton of people crowing about it saying "serves him right". I kinda want Blow to crash out of vidya and go turbo autist into his language and software-building tools.
>>730583306>that's not marketable in video clipsDepends. It won't convince the kinds of people who buy FIFA every year to play a puzzle game, but people who already like puzzle game might like the mechanics and the visuals. Also, the Jon Blow has a reputation from Braid and The Witness.
>>730578967No idea. I'll wait for puzzle anon to play and review it, then copy his take
>>730578967>10 years to develop a game>it's sokobanplease god tell me the gimmick is revolutionary to make something I've never ever seen before in my life or else it's doomed
hear me out: sokoban but with heroes and ultimates with cooldown
The game looks like total shit from the trailer. Like 3 women made their first indie game level of shit.
>>730584325Whenever you push some block you get an unskippable ten minutes quote or a social commentary dripping with pretentiousness. If you put multiple blocks they chain together so you can hear Sun Tzu talking about the benefits of launching a large military assault on the supporters of moral relativism.
>>730581936The definitive Sokoban clone is Chip's Challenge.
>Odour of the stinking shart
will it beat it?
>>730584325Why is the dev time relevant to its success? Also, >>730581619
>>730578967I don't think I'll bother with it. It's again going to only actually start once you start finding cross-map meta puzzles and I'm to old for that.
>>730584971this game is the most overhyped garbo ever
>>730586563it's good
>>730586787NTA, but I respect it, even though I got filtered.
im bad at block pushers i dont want to play a block pusher with 1500 levels should have been 10 times smaller to have my attention
>>730588509Then play these games >>730581619They are the first 5% of Order of the Sinking Star anyway
>>730578967Odor of the Shilling Saar
>>730581578he now bothered to make a nice trailer and release it on one of the biggest gaming events , although i havent heard anything about it since then
>>730589295>he now bothered to make a nice trailer and release it on one of the biggest gaming eventsIs there a new trailer? Because the TGA one wasn't nice at all.
already canceled my pre order
>>730590226what server even is that?
