I fundamentally don't know why anyone would deliberately make a game copying Gameboy aesthetics of all things. The original Gameboy was primarily just shitty ports or spinoffs of better games and a couple standout games which are the only ones most people remember. The screen space sucks and especially the lack of buttons sucks which is an utterly retarded archaism to keep in a modern game.
Mina especially looks like shit though since the colours don't even match the Gameboy's colours and the contrast is way more severe and the screen too busy by comparison.

That said Pocket Bomberman's bomb platforming was cool.

It has earned the ire and loss of good faith. Releasing a demo for the game that seems like what they're going for was mostly complete and then axing the original release date and returning back to "to be announced" anyway, all while they're in the middle of getting kicked out of their office due to lack of finances from taking 10 years to make another game, doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

I'll wait for your Smoot Mina then. If it releases, I'll support it and take back what I said. The Mina demo is in the archives, so the gameplay/assets/sound is there, shouldn't take long when the general idea is already presented for a GBC game.

I think Mina the Hollower is passed the rubicon now, it's too late. They would get dogpiled by trolls reviewing and refunding it, but even if they didn't the kickstarter backers will probably tank the reviews on their own, no outside help needed. Gamers are not very forgiving.

I've noticed that too, or at least concerning the notable ones. Jon Blow spent millions on a sokoban game and lost money off the Braid remaster, Yacht Club spent years making a Game Boy game and is about to die, Playtonic seems to have lost a fuckton of money trying to become a publisher and putting out a Yooka remake nobody asked for and had to let go a lot of people last year, there's this news article, all that crazy shit that happened to the VA-11 HALL-A devs, all that drama between the Disco Esylium devs, EXOK canceled Earthblade, the Hotline Miami devs haven't put out anything since 2015, MDHR has seemingly disappeared and so on.

Yeah it was already a large post, but they definitely stretched themselves too thin. Good on them for delivering on all the Shovel Knight goals unlike certain other developers *cough toby cough*, but they didn't to put out those spinoffs nobody asked for, they didn't need to hire an office in the most expensive part of the most expensive city in the States, they didn't need more than 10-15 employees and they definitely shouldn't have been making two games at the same time. And if you do, for God's sake, don't hire a complete amateur for a director, and if you do, don't make the decision to make the Game Boy game over 3D Shovel Knight. They made so many fucking blunders it's unbelievable.

Just to compare, Wayforward, where most of the YC devs used to work at, also has an office at the very border of LA instead of inside of it, and they rent out some space there apparently. If you insist on having an office that's the smart fucking thing to do.
>>
>>730993989
That was made by a well established cartoonist who stopped getting work in the industry. He pivoted to early web comics, and did a whole set of paintings like that and sold them via auction as half publicity stunt, half earnest attempt to get himself over as a legitimate outsider artist.

There were a surprising number of guys like that. A lot of them stayed in the industry for a while and left their furry porn proclivities on the backburner, releasing some public facing art when they were between jobs to make ends meet.
Some made furry porn a personal side project even though it wasn't looking profitable. A few of those survived into the paysite era and actually made it work.

I'm thinking the internet has an effect on people, very subtly it chips away at their productivity. It's like radiation, you don't see it, you can't feel it, its symptoms become clear only when it's already too late. The internet is the greatest cognitohazard on the face of the planet, you get exposed to it long enough your brain turns into mush. Around 2014-ish is when the internet became truly mainstream in my completely arbitrary take, since then "good" games have become increasingly rarer, it's like the mental energy of developers has been sapped, everyone became fucking stupid since that time onwards. No new classics, no new "hits", all mediocre regurgitations of past ideas, with some welcome exceptions. Ideally we should stop letting the internet have so much influence over our lives, but we can't. We're hooked. Its effects spill over other aspects of our lives, including work, relevant to game devs being discussed itt

>MDHR
If their next game is going to have art quality on the same level as or better than Cuphead, that game will take a long time to make.
The Cuphead DLC took a long time because of the animation quality being golden age Disney-tier.
Cuphead started development in 2010, released in 2017, and the DLC was 2022.
Will only hear something about it in like 2028 maybe

yacht club insider here, the delays is because the rights never actually belonged to yacht club. Now that the company is doomed the IP owner would rather take his game and leave. Once they go bankrupt they can't even sue him because they don't exist anymore, legally. He gets the game free and clear without any of the debt. It's pure profit.

>MDHR took a stance at some point
They didn't. Take it from a (mostly unknown) game dev, troons will show up in your community at some point even if you're very obscure, and the more popular you are, the more infested it'll get. See, troons make for perfect jannies cause they either got no job or work from home and are online 24/7 and they're like online Indians, they only hire among themselves and spread like a plague. The only way out is to not associate with your community and have your own Discord or Subreddit like Toby or MDHR, or take an active stance against them, which you generally don't want to do because so long as you can ignore their bullshit and they pay you, it doesn't matter that much.

The game needs to be pretty solid first and foremost and the furry stuff needs to have some sort of sexual appeal, like Toriel from Undertale in game has cute sprites, but really is built like a fridge, fanart does the heavy lifting there but goat milf as a concept was golden.
Furry is like a modifier for profitability, it needs a solid base to work so long as it has good character design concepts, there's shitloads of furry porn vns that don't really do that well, anime is probably a more popular style to use

>>730990495
The GBC unironically had soul, there were some neat and comfy games on there. Also shitty ports? There's several cases where the GBC version was better than the contemporary N64 version, like Daikatana, Mario Tennis or Quest 64. Not high bars to pass I know, but still.

>>730990610
Apparantly, making an ACTUAL Gameboy game isn't that hard. One project I backed was Infinity, which is a strategy rpg that never got finished and published. Some guys purchased the rights, prototypes and development material that was still around, hired some devs, artists and musicians and finished the game. They overhauled gameplay and graphics and added stuff too, and put our meaningful and regular updates, unlike Yacht Club, and they just sent out the ROM, Artbooks and Manuals around Christmas.

Yeah, they'll probably go under. Yeah, they were hypnotized by their own success and the L.A. mystique. The donation to BLM was retarded. But I'd rather just see them make another good game and sell a bunch of copies,

Phil fish is a whining, sneering PUSSY who could dish it out but not take it. Yeah, he made some money off the first one, but did he win in the end? You win by making things you want to make, and you keep on doing it, finding some way to go forward no matter what anyone says. If you want to write a book, for instance, and it would satisfy something in your soul to do so . . . NOT writing something because you think it's hard and you wouldn't make money is the losing choice.

Phil Fish stole Fez from an uncredited programmer.

If the game is good, yes. Anthro characters ca be very popular with gamers from different ages.
If the game sucks or is mediocre it won't do miracles, but it'll still probably get a small loyal audience who bought the game for the characters.

Luckily, anthro/furry characters have became way more accepted in the last decade (specially when its done in a cute way) so Mina the Hollower will most likely sell enough to keep the developers afloat.

>>730994697
>These indie devs that made millions 10+ years ago have not adapted to the evolving gaming landscape
Their problem is not just overspending on things that aren't worth their money, their biggest issue IMO is that they most famous indie devs are one-hit wonder developers that assumed they could milk their one game forever and failed to understand the average gamer (normies)'s taste is finicky and changes with the season.
Their franchises' loyal fans aside, most gamers just play whatever is "in" at the moment. So when say Shovel Knight was the biggest fad every normie bought it and played it, same as with each heavily adversited AAA game.
I.e. During each famous game's launch window, every normie is its biggest fan... until it's old news or another heavily marketed game enters their radar.
They're not (necessarily) bad people, they're just conformists and follow trends. Not everyone can or wants to be independent from the herd.

NTA but they were not accepted to the extent they are now, at least when it comes to female furries (for some reason male ones have been a bit ahead of the curve in wider acceptance). If character designs like Pulchra and Xiao from ZZZ came out in a popular gacha game even just a few years ago, the game would experience a big player/revenue dropoff in a 4 month blast radius, and every fucking comment section on their social media uploads featuring the characters would be flooded with cringy LE YIFF IN EXTERMINATUS asshurt posts.

At least when Squaresoft milked the shit out of FF7's massive popularity, they didn't neglect to keep making major Final Fantasy games (let alone other games). So many other devs seem to miss that when they have a game that strikes it bigger than they anticipated; they just stop/slow down everything they're doing on the spot to draw every last molecule of blood out of their popular stone.

It's a charming aesthetic, it's likely cheap to make (unless you're a retarded dev like yacht club) and if designed well, your game doesn't necessarily need half a dozen extra buttons.
It also helps that games like Pokemon GSC and the Zelda Gameboy games (Awakening and Oracles) are some of the strongest entries in the entire franchise, and are likely considered blueprints for many of the indie games mimicking their style.

That's because no matter what they release, people will always default back to Ocarina of Time and SM64 as the 'last game'. Every company wishes they were in that position, but none are.

>>The main thing I'm pissed off at is commissioning artists on x.
I hate commissioning artists, because the crappier/more desperate artists are the ones who are likelier to respond to you and get shit out in a prompt fashion, whereas anyone with any remote popularity is slow as hell. I'm dealing with the latter now who still hasn't gotten started after 3 weeks since I sent partial payment despite having the details of what I want. I've got an okay followerbase on Twitter so I'm not afraid to put his ass on blast if I still don't see progress by the end of the month. I'm totally anonymous so I have no hesitation in laying out my degeneracy for all to see.

They know better than anyone, but I'm not sure I'd have delayed it if it truly was complete as they said. They did a lot of post release support for shovel night that it seemed payed off in the long run, and I think Mina has a pretty solid foundation. People have been talking up Pipistrello which is fantastic, but I actually liked the Mina demo more mechanically.

>They always were, tf u talking about?
No. At least on 4chan they weren't fully accepted until a couple years ago.
A decade ago posting a simple SFW furry drawing from a video game character could get you banned from /v/.
Why? I'd imagine because anthropomorphic characters as a whole had a terrible reputation because of
A) Early 2000s shitty deviantart scribbles or porn with awful fetishes being the most visible examples of furry art for most people (They didn't know high quality and non-fucked up art also existed and exists).
B) A minority of degenerates that made the news like 15 years ago (and even got a CSI episode about a degenerate fursuiter).
C) The (thankfully going extinct) mentally ill tiny minority that actually think they're not human.

>>731005881
True. Anthro/furry waifus (or "waifurs") have gained a lot of acceptance (outside of previously popular ones like Rouge the Bat, Any Rose, Freya Crescent or Gadget).
I think it's great. More waifus is always a good thing and I'm glad more gamers dropped their prejudices towards them.
Furry male characters have always had their public, but are also now more accepted than before (otherwise the Kings of Hell threads wouldn't be allowed to exist to begin with).

>>731007252
>Enjoyed the demo more than shovel knight, but I know better to discuss it here of all places. The demo sat at 94% on steam before being delisted btw
I hope the developers put up a new demo. Being able play a game and get first hand experience with its formula and mechanics is great for players who might be on the fence.

>>731007919
As it should be.
Pushing developers to rush their games is a mistake. It's better if they take their time to improve and polish them before release.

>>731008832
Good thing Edmund's livelihood doesn't depend on Mewgenics.
If he is ever close to running out of money, he will drop another BoI DLC.
>>
>>731008938
I know for a fact he comes to 4chan, including /v/ most likely, so I don't wanna name names lest I set him off. He's a western artist that does cunny art, that's all I'll say. (He does other stuff too, which I commissioned but is equally degenerate, but cunny is probably what he's best known for.)

>>731007252

A bit of a non sequitur, but honestly between this, and the artists who don't listen to feedback after you've commissioned them, I'm glad ai has basically completely cut them from the design process if you're after a clear vision of what you want. Not worth dealing with those schizos

>Which sells worse, this game or Mewgenics
I think Mewgenics will perform much worse.
It's grotesque, and while intentionally disgusting looking games can become popular, it has been a long while since The Binding of Isaac came out and games like it were at the highest point in popularity.

On the other hand, Mina the Hollower's aesthetic and graphics look like the less popular Zelda games, moreso within newer generations of players (who generally don't have nostalgia for the Gameboy Color), so it'll most likely not become a massive hit (but will still sell a lot because of the waifu factor).
Waifus alone can't turn games into huge successes, but they can offer a floor of guaranteed sales. AFAIK Mewgenics has no waifus.

>>
>>731010208
While I agree with the notion that the game would look 1000 times better if it emulated Gameboy Advance' games graphics instead of GBC's, to be fair it looks way better in movement than in screnshots.

Hopefully the developers have polished some of the character sprites during this time. Mina's in-game sprite could look prettier for example.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fx0aJCRRpE
Note: this trailer came out 3 years ago and we haven't seen new footage since the game's demo was removed, so it's very likely the final product will look better (considering the character sprites got a lot of hate).

A Game Boy Advance-core mouse game was conceived, developed and released in the time it took the devs of Mina the Hollower, a mere Game Boy Colour-like game to completely drain the company's bank account and still be unreleased.

Hotline Miami devs are the opposite, they made 2 games, both were popular and they just fucked off. Probably put the entire money in an investment fund and can just live the rest of their lives from the profit.

Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and a long etc also made similar statements and donated money to those grifters at the time too. Are you boycotting them as well?

I dislike virtue signalling as much as you, but I also understand why they did it. They're located in fucking California: if they DIDN'T lick the boot they'd have been ruined by their peers and their government and probably even assaulted by the mob of "future lawyers and doctors".

It's easy to be brave when you're not surrounded by a mob of criminals and a corrupt local government that orders its police to let them do whatever they want.

>should have moved to Texas
Yes, or at least a much less expensive place. Sadly most game developers prefer to live in big cities full of "amenities" (i..e bullshit you don't need to live) and it took years until other areas began to be considered by game studios looking to move.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't like Shovel Knight. It was ok, but a majority of the experience was it just taking elements from better games from the NES era that just me feel like I should just be playing those games instead. I walked away with 0 memories of Shovel Knight. I don't know if the DLC expansions were any better but the main game was so underwhelming I just never bothered. Mina seems to be following thevexact same pattern so I won't checking it out.

TL;DR - Yacht Club and Shovel Knigt sucks, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon games were far better in every area.

I'm sure Braid and The Witness made him quite a bit of money but you can't fuck around for that long spending money on a flopped Braid remake *and* a twenty million dollar sokoban game. I know a lot of that money went into JAI and the engine, but I don't see how he plans to make money off those.

The DLC campaigns were very much better yeah. Plague of Shadows is the least ambitious one, as it's mostly the same campaign with Plague Knight, but he's a lot of fun to control and customize and it has a cute story. Knight of Shadows and King of Cards are both prequels with their own unique mechanics and levels and they're by and large much more interesting in every aspect.
