>>732277857This is the first time i hear about this game.
Was it woke
>>732277986Do you really not remember Next Fest... it won that one.
Yes, this is how companies work. Make a game that people will buy or shut down and work for someone who does.
>>732277857how can a fishing game be early access
how the fuck did they waste 17 million dollars on this?
>>732277857This game looks extremely tranny coded.
>>732278063I don't have steam
>>732278098Coop rogueslop, not just fishing>>732278140YouTubers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0_NImHA90https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reZ1VGaoerc
>>732277857>early accessSo, people who paid for the game with it being completed one day in mind, get their money stolen?
>>732277857Why do you have 56 hours on Wonder of Blue?
There were alot of shady things happening to this game from day one if you bothered to read steam discussions about it, I'm glad it died.
>>732278202sickening, i suppose their end is deserved.
>>732278140They paid a vtuber company (hololive) to do a MV for the game. Hololive curse strikes again
>almost $20MSo money laundering?
>>732278202>Vtumor music video colabsWTF were they thinking advertising to people who only WATCH games
>>732277857I forgot this was coming out>early accessOh yeah thats why I stopped caring
>>732278063>but muh paid indian bots!
>>732278478it's easy to squander that much on salaries, vtumor ad campaigns, etc
how does an unreleased game have a EoS?
>>732278610>>732278526lol
>>732277857Sorry, I only play Anime games like Arknights Endfliend and Ryza.
>>732277857i dont even know who you are
>>732278063>top ten demo>indie>releases into early accesswhat was the point of having a demo?
I felt bad for them and then I saw the amount. lmao...
>>732278858to get featured in nextfest

>>732278990Nigger just copy paste it into chatgpt and tell it to summarize. Learn how to zoom zoom if you are already a retard.
>>732278962fair enough
>>732278990>How do you think this money was spent, an Incessant Number of Ads, Twitch Drops, Discord Quest, huge space at convention, collaboration with IronMouse and CDawgVA (nothing against them, a bag is a bag), fat paychecks, overpaid industry veterans from AAA game studios.>Keep in mind, the CEO already said that they have no obligation to pay anything back to the investor if the game flops.LMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
if they spent so much on advertising how come i've never heard of this game
>>732277857games like this used to be made on budgets of shoe string and ramen, how badly did they missmanage this so they would have to shut down everything?
>early access indie game as a servicei do not care
>>732279119>a bag is a bagI hate post-modern american culture
ohhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>732279303Turns out that paying top dollar to advertise to people who only watch the anime girl in the corner of the screen (not even the videogame that she plays) is a bad fucking investment.Death to all ecelebs. Literal leech industry.
>>732278990tl;dr>CEO is a rich kid that invested daddy's money into crypto scams to get richer>His only job history was being an angel investor in other companies, including the company funding the game>Was promoting the game on reddit and other platforms as a "solo dev" despite the dev team being over 20 people>Had a bunch of investors lined up and promised them things like a Roblox-style User-Generated-Content shop using AI>This game was just meant to springboard the company into that project by establishing them in the games industry as a known developer, and serving as a tech demo>Most of the $17.5 million funding went into that Roblox clone project, and this game was always intended to be abandoned quickly after rugpulling playersIt's just another case of a rich tech chud trying to scam people by using psychopathic PR tactics
>>732278063more like soifest
>>732278202>>732278372>>732279119Reminder that BA said NO to eceleb cancer
>>732278990schizo rambling but the tldr is the CEO has an AI/crypto background and made this minimum viable project online game with the intention of later adding blockchain functionality to it while pocketing the as much of the $17M investment funding they had received. They paid out to streamers and vtubers to attract as much eyes on the product as they could but had zero for QA so people who played the demo realized it played like shit so the project didn't retain players and flopped.
>>732277857>1. We transionedyes, woke slop, nothing of value was lost
>>732278202>vtumorsAnd just like that any sympathy I could have had is gone.
>>732279920>>732280058Thanks. Unironically a shame because the colors really standout but the game looked like shit to play. It's pathetic they announced another game in this ones EOS too.
>>732278494Sara spotted! I've never heard of this game, but if vtuber watchers are the audience I'm staying far away.
>>732280384>I'm staying far away.Not like you have much choice.
>>732277857It needed more expressive characters
Realistically where would you promote the game if the vtuber crowd is ineffective and so on?
>>732280547>forced animation
>>732280660Attract people who actually play videogames, for one.
>>732280547china is going disney now?ugh
>>732277857How can you say a majority went into marketing, a little over half went into game development, the remainder went into other projects. Make it make sense
>>732280784Name the site
>>732280547fuck tweening shit is cringe
>>732277857this was just another scam just like ashes of creation, people betting everything on being an early access smash hit instead of making a good, lasting game.
>>732280896store.steampowered.com, duh.
>>732277857
thought it said puto labskek
>>732277857BUY AN AD
>>732277857>I didn't buy an early access gameIf they wanted me to buy the game, they should have released it.
>>732277857>Anime game>No lolisOne job, my hand job
>>732280660The vtuber crowd isn't ineffective per say, but it appeals to specific types of games, usually streamerbait games that have big MOMENTS for people to react to so people want to see their vtubers reacting to it and playing and friendslop games so they can roleplay as having actual friends or at least enjoy the game with their other vtuber obssessed buddies.
>>732277857Never heard of it, ever. Why do you even care enough to bring it up OP?I am amazed early access platforms is still allowed to do this shit.
>>732282662Everyone also knows that someone paid them to pretend to like a game for 4-5 hours before going back to whatever they do normally, so it's not really convincing anyone by itself.
>>732282815the fact that Valve still sells shit like Kerbal Space Program 2 is prove that the system is flawed
>>732277857>it failed but you can have it for freeholy based
>>732279303Probably because you’re a person with a soul who doesn’t spend all day watching vtubers?
>>732278063>next festyou think I pay attention to that shit?
That's reminds me of what happened to Multiversus, I still miss Multiversus.
I just want to remind people that airmech is still running. Despite having no players. Devs that pack up their live service game that fast were in it for the money and werent worth the time anyway.
The colors remind me of a certain flag so no thanks
>>732277857>Trans faggotree color palletteDeserved.
I played the demo of their newest game. It's an extremely shitty rougelite Hades-like made by someone who probably has never played any rougelike except for Hades and only for 30 seconds, but had played lots of League of Legends. The gameplay is so braindead you don't even need to circlestrafe, you just wipe out mobs that get stuck behind chokepoints.
>>732280972>do stepped curves>AAH CRINGE CHOPPY FRAMERATE FORCED>use smooth curves>AAAH CRINGE TWEENSS AAAGHH ???
>>732277857I hadn't heard of this. A live service game with MTX in early access sounds horrible. I'm glad that this game is dead.
>>732280002>nigguk>zen "let me invite my big fat unfunny friends to every stream and have them loudly talk over me (the one you came to see) constantly" treya>meximouse>meximouse's baby raisergrim stuff
Literally who
>>732280547fuck tweening GOLD is based
>>732277857I have this on my wish-list and I'm glad it's getting released as single-player ( I don't even bother understanding what it was before), but>Pahdo Labswhat a retarded name
>>732277857>converted it to a single player offline game so that it remains playableHow anti-semitic of them
>>732278251Don't the devs get to say when it's completed which is whatever state they want?
>>732285676Don't bother buying. The stage and enemy "design" are extremely lacking and the gameplay consists of walking in a straight line (not even a circle due to how thin the hallways are) and clicking on mobs.Any other rougelite out there is better than this.
>>732286775Actually, I forgot about the "note" every EA game has:>Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.Not that I was ever going to, but now I will make doubly sure to never buy an EA game.
>>732288073Fug. Meant for >>732286026
>>732277857never even heard of it
>>732286775>"rouge"lite
>>732278063So what happens? People play their demo and then they get nigger rich anticipating big sales?
>>732278478No. Learn how much this shit costs. And money laundering needs a source of dirty money. If there's a grift, it's skimming. >>732280058Right. This seems plausible. Minimum viable product and upkeep for 5 million, 5 million for marketing and streamers, 2 million for parties. 5 million skimmed to the CEO is a possibility here.>>732279885>>732280660They needed an actual fucking product to sell, and shit to buy, preferably continuously. >>732277991As flamingly trans the colorscheme is, I don't think so.
>>732289225I think the bosses looked at how much interest and money was coming in, and decided it was a better financial play to rugpull their investors than spend the money to build what they promised.
