>no stealth games
Indie scene are soulless trend chasing whores. Make a game with Splinter Cell depth or fuck off. Apparently it's not an issue to attempt to immersive meme buzzword which they so is difficult to create (whilst not making thief or anything close to thief) yet we had only one game that was Intravenous that would give some sort of attempt at the kind of games that i want to play. I demand answers from them for their slacking on this issue. If you can't program guard AI then stop pretending like you're the ones who will save the industry. Which is what their shills so often claim about what they're doing. If it's not financially feasible then you're admitting that you yourself have a bottom line like triple A companies do.

I like what it tries to do but fighting most things felt like ass.

>>
>>732994796
Lets be honest, you don't know anything. You even posted games that weren't even released. Their mechanics were generally more flawed than low budget 20 year old games of unsuccessful/commercial failures in the genre. I also likely know about more conceptual games than you do. That being said even their conceptual vision looks generally flawed. So i just simply view the issue as it stands as they are not made due to financial incentives and a lack of talent to program more complex NPC behaviors whilst also tying back into the same point that a risky financial incentive stops the development dead in it's tracks, hence being a roguelite money making whore is preferable. That's assuming they even have the right interpretations of the genre and think that the lack of slow walk in Dishonored was ever acceptable and likewise are copying flawed ideas from modern games. If it's not about making games they're unsure in how many sales they will get then i can't pin it down as anything else or the lack of programming skills. I'm waiting for an indie developer to come in here and tell me all about why people in their field have not touched anything in this genre but will claim that they're saving gaming because they're making immersive sims. Even the watered down later period of stealth might be preferable to nothing at this stage. But I'm not sure by how much.

If it's outside the steam store you're talking about some trash off itch.io

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4133050/VIOLA/

VIOLA_ was an interesting cyberpunk "detective" ren'py VN, whoever compared it to Ace Attorney Investigations in the previous thread was kind of right. You play as an AI robot tasked to interrogate and/or judge people, (you can choose your name and your pronouns, game jokes about how you're forced to watch on eggshells even around robots) compare testimonies with facts and piece together the truth. The demo is short and the case you had to solve was simplistic, but there's a good skeleton for harder puzzles in there imo. I enjoyed how you had to be careful about influencing the suspect's mood, game even throws at you actual cop/true crime terminology like building rapport etc.

If I could raise an issue with the game it's probably the style? It feels somewhat bisexual at best and gay at worse for being "stickmen". Writing also felt kind of strange and I can't put my finger on why. That said, the music wasn't grating and I was interested sufficiently enough in the cyberpunk setting and the main support character (who is a based retard) so I wishlisted it. It's no Of The Devil or Psycho-sleuth but I still think it has potential to be kino

I want to strangle whoever made this. At least the game itself is addictive. Real time grand-strategy where you go big by using your divine powers, commanding your priests and doing quests from mortal. Although easy the most annoying thing is that you can get quest you can't complete because you don't have right power unlocked.

Dont go too hard in the change of gameplay, with Inscryption people wanted a horror card game it was like 40% card game and then other weird parts no one cared about. If people go in for panchinko with steroids and then they see the basement they know what they are in for, its enough of a hint. Dont for example font make the last half of the game a platformer or something ridiculous like that, like Inscryption did.

the rng on which shop you get was cancerous on my second run I got knives as the only item I could afford, and then only rolled pegs/exit shops until I died
I'd start the game outside of the pachinko machine, the basement has a much cooler aesthetic than the art you have for the pachinko game itself and would have drawn me in more easily, maybe include it more prominently in your steam page

speaking of the pachinko game art, I'd really consider doing it in the style you did the basement, whether you do actual autism 3d physics or just pre-render pachink board elements and use them as 2d assets, it'd be an improvement over the basic art you have now

I would have completely skipped past this game if it wasn't an anon game because of the basic browser game pachinko idler look I got from a brief glance at the steam page. But as you can see I played enough to beat the demo after giving it a try, so the bones are fine enough you gotta work on presentation.

also exitshop is almost never worth picking, a lot of upgrades/items don't feel amazing, but I get its a demo and the option pool was small.

If one of the few dozen people who played Assault Spy and were looking forward to the dev's next game are reading this, don't bother.
This game is nothing like it, it plays like all those shitty 3d anime fighters that are being pumped out constantly except even worse and single player.
all attacks make you automatically rush to enemies, all combos are just button mashing, the ranking system could just as well not exists because getting SSS is possible with your eyes closed, the game is constantly shifting the camera angle around trying to look cool while your screen is being bombarded by so many effects that you have no idea what the fuck is going on and that's why enemies glow up bright red so you can actually see when to dodge.

for those who played inari how are you supposed to defeat the challenge boss? he has too much health and sometimes when you attack him he teleports and shoots at you in such a way you don't even have time to dodge, it's very unfair

I usually don't bother with westoid games, but I'm a sucker for rail shooters and goonkino, so I gave Knitewings a shot. This one actually seems abnormally good, I highly recommend people give it a shot. some really crusty audio clips tho

ULTRA0 was interesting but too brief to really get a good feel of what the game was going to be like. Also the yurimance stuff was pretty cringe.

Just out-teleport the boss. I liked Inari much more once I understood that hesitation is defeat hyper aggression is how you deal with encounters, in battle and in boss fights. If you let his bullets fill the screen, you're going to have a hard time because it limits your movement potential.
>>733017956
Yeah, was just done playing the demo of Lelu. I didn't know what to call it other than... a zelda clone. Love the aesthetic, sound design and music especially, it kinda felt like a somber metroidvania in tone? Cute but somewhat bleak at the same time.
Really liked the puzzles even if they were simple. Ended up wishlisting it. Could be as good as Pipstrello

>forgot the name
SDVX. I played the In Falsus demo a few days ago and it feels like it's tacking on too many gimmicks. The intended design is to make you move your hand, but the most comfortable way I found to play was just keeping my fingers on ASDF and moving my pinky for the side rail. The colors are also fucked up, why are the notes the same color as the lane background and why are the middle lanes not color coded.

5k is totally pointless, too. The demo has a fucked up difficulty curve, a consequence of only having 5 songs, but even in the full game it doesn't feel like 5k is going to teach you properly for moving into 6k. The gimmick that gets added in FBD is also extremely retarded and just makes the UI pointlessly harder to read, with the 4-lane notes being double retarded.

Opening a rhythm game with a 3 minute unskippable VN segment followed by a 5 minute tutorial with the slowest fucking advancing text is an unforgivable sin. Arcaea lets you get right into the game, why did they regress here.

At least the game doesn't have a release date yet, so they're probably actually listening to feedback from the demo.

I'm simply pointing out that you can't create them. Your insulting of aged AI is still apart of it being below your pay grade regardless, it something that is below what you can create. This is why some of you put out garbage videos on youtube like 'fixing stealth' so you can just do a half arsed job about a detection avoidance game and then just make it all entirely combat and make a complete cop out game like dishonored or assassins creed (whilst still being inferior to that even). Go fuck yourself you goddamn hacks. You're so unbelievably untalented that it makes me sick.

The webm makes it look like nothing but the game is great at getting you into a flow state. Especially the boss fight. Wishlisted that shit immediately. For faults I'd say that the music was a bit repetitive, the mouse gets slowed down a bit too much during combat for me compared to when you're free to explore and once you get good at the game you can collect a fuckton of coins so the shop's economy becomes a non-issue. There's also a mode where words are random letters but it's funnier to kill things by typing ASS

one of the better stealth games of recent years got a demo for it's upcoming spinoff, ironically they are ripping off metal gear solid in reverse. Going from 3D to 2D.

It's actually not bad, but I'm just posting it to make that guy seethe.

I was skeptical going in, but it nails the killer7 aesthetic. Music is hit or miss, vocals in Ishtar's song make me want to kill myself. Also pretty sure the newtype flash sound is copyrighted by Sunrise/Bandai, actually laughed when it first played.
Plays more like sekiro than I was expecting, and that's disappointing.
Definitely some jank but things seem to work most of the time and controls are snappy.
Took me about an hour to get through all the boss fights. First one was the hardest until I figured out what it wanted. I tend to dodge a lot but it REALLY wants you to play it like sekiro, deflect and gun parry are key.

I'll play the full game for sure, but god I hope they hire a writer or something because those bits of dialogue were rough.

As far as I am concerned, use of AI doesn't necessarily make a game bad.
But if I see that you put zero fucking effort into making your game assets, then why should I assume any effort was given to anything else?


It's not that I can't conceive of a game being good just because I see it using AI. But when I see it use AI, you've basically run out of charity and now I am simply not going put in the effort to even find out if your game is any good or not.
So short of me stumbling upon someone else convincingly convince me the game is any good, I'll just never find out.
But if the game didn't use AI. Chances are I'd try it myself in order to find out. And then maybe I would be trying to convince others that it's actually good.


With a sea of trash, made worse than ever before by AI, using AI won't exactly raise confidence.
At this point I'd sooner play a game made strictly with terrible programmer art.

Played 3 mecha game demos
>mecha force
FPS view mecha game, it felt pretty much like a tech demo. The random upgrades I got did nothing and gameplay seemed pretty barebones. A lot of potential since they bothered to pay for japanese voice acting and the visuals look good.
>rig riot
ROR 2 version of AC, while the mechs look OK the map looks completely dreadful. It's mostly giant empty plots with random buildings. Instead of finding lootboxes to powerup you get them from doing objectives and killing robots. The gameplay is mediocre but at least the mech controls well.
I dont understand why the game even has mostly positive reviews as the game really needs a lot of work.
>mecha nova
Unironically the best demo I tried is a cardslop game. What set it apart is that you mech is in the middle of the grid like the enemy, and most of the combat revolves around spawning drones that passes down effects based on their card direction kinda like yugioh's link cards. The game also has really good looking 3D animations for all the robots which sets it apart from most cardslop games. The gameplay felt really fun and fresh too for the genre.

It used to be basically a skateboarding game with guns, but I think the developer decided to make a normal skateboarding game instead and pawned off the premise to someone else. He's still credited but he's probably not really involved anymore. Maybe it was too hard to make into a full game, but a survivors game is still so fucking dull and doesn't even make use of the concept.

I wish this Rhell game was good because I like these kinds of magic games, but it's not. There's not much room for creativity, fun or chaos because the game world doesn't have enough props to play around with and the solutions are the most mundane things ever. The demo even has a weekly challenge thing where you're given random spells to use and a puzzle and I was just baffled that I was dropped into a nearly empty area that had nothing but obvious things to do.

>>733079603
If their Xitter is any degree of accuracy, they do a lot of different artwork (ie ChunLi sprites in the style of NES KungFu etc) and artists working on different games aren't necessarily an issue. I wish we'd get more details, but I'm guessing that the artwork isn't what's holding Scramble Vice up, but rather getting the feel of more complex gameplay to work.

Their first game was solid but relatively simple, this one has multiple directions the player can go in, both mech and on foot movement and combat etc. I hope its not vapourware or ignored for his next project in either case, but he's still got tomboy posts from late 2025 on social media so it seems at least that continues

Seems like most of that died down after they started getting laid off and realized people were indeed listening to them when they said not to buy their game.

I made this small Japanese learning game with a friend over the course of a year, because I was too lazy to learn it with some shitty app.
If anyone want to try it out and give some feedback, I'd be grateful. Demo lets you learn Hiragana and Katakana and a couple of Kanji

nta but I see his point
Many demos I've been trying actually leave me satisfied with the demo content and gameplay alone, meaning I'm not looking forward to nor do I wishlist their full games. The flash game analogy is fitting here, browsing the discovery queue is like browsing through miniclip or newgrounds catalogues back in the day for me. Not saying every game is in that spot but I see his point

So far I had fun with this one:

Shooting and aliens gibs feel pretty good. Missions are big open maps with multiple objectives to do. It got fem protagonist which might turn off some people.
Beside that I tired also REVEREND: Surf 'n Sin because it reminded me of Duke Nukem holiday expansion, but I can't recommend it. The first level was just shooting the same slow melee enemies within big map where you don't know where to go.

I knew immediately after looking at that screen it was made by an amerimutt with a jewsky account. I wish I could confirm it was made by a tumblr femcel too, because for some reason I'm getting that vibe vs a tranny or regular faggot.
