Will it be Jonathan Blow's 3rd masterpiece in a row?
>>731156053looks like a free mobile game
Not gonna lie, this entire time I spent going "looool this dipshit is doing a sokoban game? KWAB" but I did think the trailer looked good.I cannot see myself finishing this, especially since I didn't finish either Braid or Witness, but I'll try it out, I think. He got me again.
>>731156178It's a 500+ hour long game and will be at least $40.
Should I play The Witness? I think I unfairly dismissed it based on not liking Braid and then reinforced that bias with The Looker and that one Mandalore video about it.
>>731156338>I get my opinions from youtubers>because I'm a massive faggot
>>731156338It's fun, in my opinion. Definitely worth a look
>>731156053The problem is, when I play a sokoban with 40 levels, I have enough around the 30th and I just finish the last 10 to be able to call the game "finished".And this has over a 1000 of ray-and-mirrors puzzles and the likes. It looks good, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a sale. Not paying 30 bucks (or 40 as someone mentioned) to play a game for 4 hours and drop.>>731156338I liked it much better than Braid. For me Braid was a pretty generic puzzle platformer, just well-made.
>>731156861It's a lot more than just a sokoban game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXQ2NZ0Eclo
>>731157019>>it's more>looks inside>"we made six characters >one of the entire characters is just Baba is You pull>another is just Baba is you Tele>but what if we combined them in one game?????>hurrrr I am very innovative game designer ;)))))Without a hint of irony, this game was a mistake
>>731156053>Spend 10 years making a game>It's just 4 existing box pushing games glued togetherBut hey, at least it compiles in 2 seconds!
>>731156053the witness was actually shit, i dont even want to know what the other "masterpiece" youre referring to is
>>731156206>they fly now You thought the trailer looked good? Ok sure shillanon. Totally organic comment, I believe you
>>731157458All of those character concepts are from a game older than Baba is You.https://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6860122
>>731159212NTA but what fucking difference does that make?
>>731156053could we try to brainstorm /v/ to determine what the BIG JBLOW TWIST will be?>Braid: reverse time mechanic proves MC is the antagonist of the story>The Witness: puzzles are everywhere, even in the clouds>OftSS: ?????maybe something to do with Sokoban being simple gameplay-wise? like turning this game into a 3D Sokoban towards the end?
>>731159308I'm trying to say that he isn't ripping off Baba is You. The idea of Order of the Sinking Star is taking 4 existing Sokoban games and heavily expanding on them by combining their mechanics and adding verticality. It's not original by definition, but the games it taking from are good, so it should be good, too.
>>731159637>like turning this game into a 3D Sokoban towards the end?Anon... look at the promo art on the Steam page.
>>731159637With 1000 puzzles it's a given the the puzzles themselves will be blocks to be pushed. Probably even a 3rd layer too.
>>731156053i couldnt even finish enigmash, got bored halfway throughsame with baba and void stranger
>>731156053
>>731157019>the bard is infuck that almost makes me not want to play it any more
>>731160613
>>731156053maybe
>>731161417This is disgusting. I can feel my bile starting to rise.
>>731156053when does this come out?
>>731156338Witness is unironically good, even with all the pretentiousness. there's a free tongue-in-cheek fangame called The Looker that I'd recommend checking out too if you're interested
>>731161640This year, probably.
>>731161716crazy how much this mindbroke him. The funny thing is that he actually likes the game
>>731156053Soulja Boy victim
>>731161592
>>731159806>the puzzles themselves will be blocks to be pushedI really don't see that happening. As far as I can see, the amount of ways the mechanics interact with each other is the main twist.
>>731156053>spend a decade and millions of dollars>can't come up with a more memorable title than "Order of the Sinking Star"
>>731161716Soulja Boy is my f*arking HERO ! ! !
>>731164115more like Order of the STINKING Star amirite???
>>731156178One which gets kino ads like those Chinese ones
>>731156053I am going to dismiss this entire game because this promotional art is the most boring generic shit I've seen. That'll teach Blow to not do it next time.
>>731164330>next time20 years later...
>>731164229Unironically better, I'd be able to remember that at least.
>>731159704>He isn't ripping off baba is you>He's just ripping off four other gamesgrim
>>731157019It'd be cool if Blow made any attempt to talk about his game and not just "GAMES IN GENERAL" the podcast guy is clearly trying to get somekind basic idea and Blow just gives him this "yeah kinda".Jon, your game looks like low budget phoneshit, GIVE US SOMETHING TO BE EXCITED ABOUT
>>731157019I've never not seen this game run like dogshit>BUT ITS THE DEBUG BUILD
>>731165534Eh, if there is something I trust Blow with, it's optimizing code.
Can't wait for him to finally work on his operating system now
>>731165394>looks like low budget phoneshitIf you actually look at the detail in the level environments, you'll realize that it's not low budget at all.
>>731161774>le virgin "sensitive young man"vs>the chad LMAO LOOK AT THIS LITTLE IDIOT FALLING IN SPIKES, THIS SHIT CRAYTwo diametrically opposed ethos-es. Peace was never an option.
>>731156053I really hope blow changes the banner art it looks so fucking bad and does a disservice to the beautiful in-game visuals>>731156178based on the capsule art I would think the same
>>731164115how am I supposed to tell this game apart from House of the Dying Sun or Children of a Dead Earth? Now there's three games in the "X of the dead/dying celestial object" genre.
Just heard him say that he played 2 hours of Void Stranger and didn't like it because "there was no point to the puzzles" and "if there are better puzzles later why didn't they put them earlier"
fuck this level
>>731170128nvm figured it out but it's so precise in execution that it's not really that fun
>>731156053I'm so damn excited I can't stand it
>>731170128Now for Heavy Cloud anon
>>731156338Funny you mention The Looker since that parody was made with love in mind.
>>731169514I didn't like Void Stranger either. I probably would have beat it if there was an undo function.
>>731171664if you start falling off the edge you can undo by going backother than that I'd say just plan everything out in your head or eat the fruit
>>731171783It's a stretch to call that an undo anon
>>731171846sometimes you just have to accept the inevitable
