>>733219571>LOOKING FOR DEMO SUGGESTIONS.I like:>detective games, like Golden Idol or Rootrees>roguelike/deck builder games, like Slay the Spire (not reflex roguelikes, slow)>second monitor games like Backpack Battles or Darkest Dungeon, for play during work>cRPGs that are heavier on the storytelling and characters, not dungeon crawlers that are 90% combat>turn based strategy games, like Rimworld or Civilization

Not bad. Lesbian visual novel. you have parrots but never see them because they are too hard to draw. some spelling errors, steam description page talks about fixing resolution errors in the spot they are supposed to talk about the game. it actually is comfy despite all that. I probably won't get it, but someone might enjoy it.
>>733221529The character designs and concept are cute but it's SUPER rough. Like there's no way this even had a full year of dev time.
>>733221529Already played it after anon posted webm related, so far it is in pretty rough state and hope it will get better soon.There is also Eletta but demo should be coming when fest officially startshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3540930/Eletta_Demo/>>733222007Yeah, it is definitely better than previous demo because I remember trying it out some time ago and I thought it was really shit back then.

>>733221868Was this done by that one guy that was in CivV dev team? The one that made a "horde that travels through roman lands?I see some of the design points in this.

This one was weird. Sometimes I don't read the game's description, or I do read it but I download hundred of demos and play them out of order so I don't know what I'm walking into.Anyway, it started off like it was a pokemon ripoff, which made sense with the GBC aesthetic, but then it was revealed that I would be playing as the pokemon and the professor was sending me out to route 1 to be a random encounter to train the player.Then it did something else completely out of left field, over and over again. It's like every minute they were going a different direction to keep me from figuring out what kind of game it is. I didn't even last long because I got to a shopkeeper and the options were weird, of course. One of the options was "kill" so I said: why not, and tried to kill him. Didn't end well. It doesn't matter. I saw enough. Wishlisted. Very Interesting Title, here.

>>733219413I have mixed feeling for Parasite Mutant, I like aesthetics, music and the idea of combat but I think it is executed quite poorly, just running in circles so you won't get hit by enemies, expect final boss which is more tricky but not as much, waiting for your gauge to fill so you can attack. I guess I could get better impression if I had more skills other than laser that requires almost all of your EP to use and/or ATC would fill slightly faster. Also "puzzles" could be better>>733224910>Pre-order for indie gameI am surprised. Both looks interesting, I will try them. I heard good things about Withering Rooms but haven't played it yet
if you want more like inside then i recommend replace and darwin's paradox
>>733224910Damon and Baby looks kinda shit but Withering Rooms looks interesting. Not many games where you play as an ugly monster but aren't actually evil.
>>733224910>>733225119Wait nevermind I just saw DAMON is being made by arcsys
>>733225119>indie gameIt's ArcSys. I've seen it at a few gameshows but I'm on the fence on it. It's good they're doing a demo.
>>733225628Alright whatever I'll wishlist this just in hope more people get to see it and have a giggle
Another retro pixel shooter, this one is pretty well polished. Has leaderboards, and a coke machine that seemingly does nothing.

>>733230339There's nothing political about AI. But if a game has AI so obvious I can tell just from looking at a single screenshot, I know it's guaranteed to be slop.

>>733219667>detective games, like Golden Idol or Rootreeshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4012690/The_Big_Hollow_1982/I found this demo quite promising. Pretty morbid despite comicbook-like artstyle. It's also pretty forgiving in letting your solve the questions, but might be because it's basically tutorial.Also you might checkhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2945150/Feline_Forensics_and_the_Meowseum_Mystery/But the demo was in the previous fests so you might have already played it.As well I guess you might try out this game >>733230271https://store.steampowered.com/app/4133050/VIOLA/But I haven't played the demo so I can't say anything about it.

game is kind of finicky with it's movement. I'm not sure if I can't access the attic or there is something wrong. Maybe I'll play it some more later and try find the basement key. In case I'm wrong and the attic isn't where it is.

>>733230271Artstyle reminds me a lot of the gay drawfags that post here that use a sort-of stickman artstyle and playing it didn't change my mind. All of the male characters are the obvious fetishes of a gay man. Game itself is whatever.
>>733230236Cute game Anon, had it in my wishlist for some time now. Level difficulty seems to be all over the place though, 800 or more deaths were only from 4 or so levels, most had me die only twice or three times. Those hidden spike things require you to be really precise.
>>733230236the hell is directplay and why do I need to install that to play your demo
>>733236981Better than than the uglified western anime look imo. Unfortunately the game was also somewhat woke

>>733230236duck button doesn't work on controller
>>733237154I didn't care about the wokeness. It's that it's partly a dating game and most of the characters are flaming homos, so I'm literally just not the target audience.
>>733237516R1, RbIf that doesnt work then you need to disable steam input to get the controller working. The game was designed on old Gamemaker so controller support is very limited

Notes to level up in my goblin town dev-walking into an npc removes dialoguebox. start the raycast to detect guys behind player.the text is painful to read. make it larger if you're gonna have a black outline. makes it harder to read some text.I get screen tearing. vsync is a pretty important option to include.movement is fine if you're on the ground but trying to air control or jump on top of the boxes is a pain. you gain max velocity instantly.it could feel better.make goblin burn if I jump on fire for SOVLthe battle pace with the herbalist was boring. nothing to do but stare. maybe add something to do during downtime.changing from morning to battle phase wipes any items you might pre-prepare, it might be more fun to let people abuse it.I accidentally threw the magic armor through the smithy wall and it despawned?Man, mage is super op. died to him like 7 times then gave up.I get the magic armor and hammer, then try to balance between hp potions, mana and the rest of the weapons. don't even get to prepping the speed potion. in between the mage rapes gobbo.

They're really doing a Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction thing with this game. You play scary stories and at the end you get asked if you think the events depicted really happened. They call it truth or tale but we know they mean Fact or Fiction.Anyway, for the first story, I think I missed the final jumpscare.

this game sounded cool but now that I played it i'm not so sure it's cool
>>733223826>first game is AI shitAre you serious?
>>733250465>Lost RuinsUnless you're a masochist, no. I hated this game and refunded after a few minutes of playtime.
>when it's been a whole ten seconds since the last time you made a post seething about AI
>>733253642lol. filtered.
>Goldman demo launches this ThursdayJew memes aside, I'm looking forward to see how good it is.
>>733253642Same. Game felt sluggish as fuck.
>>733253945I like that they gave him a Scrooge McDuck pogo move.
So I couldn't understand their thick accents, which was fine, I figured I could just ignore them and explore the space station but they literally would not shut the fuck up. The whole point of being in space is so I can't hear your shitty european accent. I exited and uninstalled while they were still talking. People talk too much, not just in games, but real life too, you ever noticed that? Sometimes I time people talking and they go for hours without stopping. Just the other day, I showed up to work a half hour early. Didn't do my co-worker any good. She sat there and talked for 50 minutes to some guy, actually ended up leaving later than usual when it should have been earlier. Then she tried to complain to me about it? I didn't make you fucking talk. I'm passing on this demo.
>>733253713These threads are for finding the gems amidst the garbage.Stop praising garbage if you don't want to get brushed aside, fuck off.
So this game is about some girl who can turn into a dragon. Very janky, I played it up until the first crash. Pretty interesting though. I like the snow aesthetic. I thought one of the tutorials was about casting spells but it turned out to just be a menu I could bring up to change the music that plays, and turkish is the best btw. Also if you watch the title screen for a bit, the protagonist starts laughing like a maniac. I'll wishlist it to keep an eye on this one.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4286940/NYRA_The_Fall_of_Light_Demo/

Just played the MIGHTREYA demo, it is super short, not enough there to judge.
Fuck you kid. My dungeon is for mature players.
mimic sleuth was decent but kind of limited in scope.
>>733253642I liked it. It wasn't the best but it wasn't bad. Mina the hollower or Outrider Mako were atrocious to play for instance
>>733256627Was just playing this, maybe it's an upgrade, but I found it a bit odd they had metal examples in the manual, but no wood examples.Like, I know birch is a lighter colour, but how does it look in this game? Also, I wonder if a game like this will need a colourblind setting.
yeah not paying $80 for this. the price will drop.
>>733257553Isn't the RE9 demo coming out when Nextfest starts. Maybe Onimusha too if we're lucky.
>>733257638I'm not paying $80 bucks for that either. Capcom's lost it's monopoly on survival horror, now I can get it anywhere for much cheaper. Next fest has dozens. I could buy all of them for the price of one capcom title. plus I know they mark them down 50% super quick.
tight combat is right. fuck am i bad at timing parries. also that sneak with b, but backstab with x control scheme is insanely awkward. try it and you'll see what I mean.

>>733230236I'm having a lot of trouble getting my controller working with this. It only worked when I tweaked things with the steam controller input. For reference I do have a bit of a weird setup, I'm running it through proton with an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth with a nintendo layout, so it probably isn't your fault it isn't working, but just a heads up if there is an easy fix.

Alright I've sort of cleared out all the demos I downloaded. But more will release in time and I might go back to some. But I should take a break for a bit and probably play a full game. Probably Placid Plastic. It was the best but it's also cheaper.
>>733258203Disabling steam input should run fine.

remember to post the worst demo you find too, not just the best one.
>>733265018damn he's actually right
>>733262556I know, as I said it isn't amazing, I wish he would make a better tutorial with how much effort was put in the game.
next fest gives me similar kind of feels I had playing flash games back in the day but with the added bonus of getting some actual high effort stuff too
>>733242219I'm working on a more legible font because I do get a lot of complaints about it.Agreed on the herbalist. Most people I watch play are terrible so I've kept dumbing her down but because of her healing it takes a long time to actually beat her.I havn't made a Silence status effect yet but it would make sense to add. That'd make it so you can run back and forth to keep her silenced so she can't heal, speeding it up and giving you something to time.>changing from morning to battle phase wipes any items you might pre-prepare, it might be more fun to let people abuse it.Nah it would not even be a video game at that point>mageThanks, I see streamers having a lot of trouble with him as well. It's so hard to tell because to me it feels like I've made the entire demo trivially easy already.Don't forget you can drop potions near the battle for use later. The second people realize that they usually beat him. You basically never want to be bringing only a single potion over.Thanks for playing and for the write-up! It's much appreciated.
>>733266068You are only ever going to get complaints about the difficulty. People who don't mind the difficulty simply say nothing. But nothing will ever make idiots who can't figure it out shut up.
Deadwatch guy I know you're here, your demo's my favorite so far but I can't find the 14th coin, spoonfeed me
>>733266547>>733266068I played the demo a few days ago and found the difficulty fine FYI
>>733266609I had to look it up and it's completely retarded and convoluted. You'll never find it normally
>>733266547It's why I always beat indie games early and close to launch. They ALWAYS end up making them easier. but i beat them too quickly and get the intended experience before the nerfs come.Fear the Timeloop? Timeloop removed due to complaints, final boss difficulty reduced. You think I'm joking about the timeloop removal thing but I'm not.Wicked Seed? tons of difficulty reductions.Same thing in Labyrinth of Forsaken. Developers constantly cater to the morons who can't beat the game.
>>733267195This annoys me so much, if I wanted your game to be easy I would pick easy mode.
>>733259306Oh neat, Doll Town got a release date.
>>733265018DOES THE SNAKE GIRL GET VISIBLY PUDGIER AS SHE IS FED BURGERSI AM ASKING FOR A FRIEND
>>733261642oh neat, I've played this guy's freeware games before, and had a wank to his art.
>>733263201It's definitely the most interesting of all the demos I've tried so far, really curious to see how the other characters differ in terms of strategy.>>733263956What's GabeN going to do? Eat us?>>733265097What if the worst demo I've found is also the best one? https://store.steampowered.com/app/4201210/All_Me_Action_Game/
>>733266547>>733266760Thanks. I want it to be kind of stressful so I'll probably keep balancing it to be slightly easy for myself, and add a hard mode for some real challenge.I added achievements recently for beating the last two fights without making any extra health potions which also increases the difficulty quite a bit. So far the % of people that has gotten the achievements is 0.2% so it's probably just me.>>733267195I will be adding a hard mode for my own autism so please look forward to that. I agree this is a problem but it's so hard to know the "average" player when you know absolutely everything about your own game. I understand why they end up doing it.
>>733266960Nah I finally did it. Completely forgot about the wrench.
>>733266058yeah samesome demos I don't ever play the full games when they come out because the gameplay of the demo is usually fun enough on its own
>>733269173Most hours I've sunk into a demo was 70 hours.It probably helped that the full game had more game to play, but I don't have an issue throwing 20 bux at a game that's more than earned it through quality playtime.

>>733219667The only two deckbuilder cardslop i found were good ishttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3127770/ACE_Strategy_Mecha_Nova/Basically they took yugioh's link cards and made a game out of it with both player and enemy robots in their specific grid. Game mostly revolves around summoning drones in the grid, and these drones usually have a direction their pointing too. All their effects and get passed on to everything in the chain. The 3d models and animations are really top notch too. Every other mecha game demo I played sucked compared to this, they felt more like tech demos than something fun and engaging.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4335250/Rainbow_Legends_Demo/Cardslop where you flip tiles to your color. It's a fresh take on this genre, however I felt the normal battles were way too easy and the elite battles can end up much harder than the boss levels. Some of the enemy intentions are hard to figure out until you see what they do, sometimes it can end up with you in a permanent losing state like in the elite battles if your deck just isnt optimized. In the demo you also get like a million different characters to play with different decks.
>>733269502capicomicuni
>>733266058Same, it's cool because I get to quickly try lots of shit I normally wouldn't. This and IndieLiveExpo have been a great source of general vidya awareness. Puts things into perspective, like something that looks cool can be just not worth your time even for free, and something you would normally overlook can sometimes be really fun to play.
>>733245429I enjoyed this, I wouldn't pay much for it as it is now but I like the concept.I'm a colorblind retard and struggled with getting the wood/metal type but thats a me problem

>>733230339You literally sampled from the game factory is what he was trying to tell you, you fucking idiot. No good games are going to use AI. Period.
I never thought I would say this, but I wish indie games would stop being made. Indie Games has become a separate thing from what it used to be and it’s fucking gay and unfun. I wish Steam would limit the number of indie games allowed per year or at least have stricter quality control because the indieslop clogs up the catalog and makes it hard to find anything good.

>>733272557There are so many fucking games in this next fest that should have stayed on itchio where they belong. I have to marvel at how Valve even has the infrastructure to support this flood of garbage coming in almost daily.

yeah indie games are great and all but I think we can all agree we need to bring back the nintendo seal of approval and only let major corporations dictate what we enjoy.
>>733272685>>733272734I'm not any of the anons you replied to but I am starting to feel like they do, honestly. While I've been having fun playing some demos I think it's insulting to see very obvious low effort trash. They're exaggerating a bit much but like browsing flash games back in the day the ratio of shovelware to great thing is very skewed towards shovelware
>>733245429It's fun but too easy and simple for the demo. Also the material colors can be hard to differentiate, i couldnt tell apart between iron and silver.
>>733272734>there are only greedy corporation games and really fucking low effort info shit, there is no in between or room for nuance Holy fucking cope.
huh gunboat god will finally be part of a next fest and get a demobeen following that game since like 2024. time flies
Next Fest is fun and all but I think we can agree next fest isn't fun and needs to be shut down for national security reasons. Since we all agree we can immediately disperse.
How the fuck is Tooned Out able to run this bad holy shit
Anyone think that porn games shouldn't be allowed to show multiple breasts? It's insulting. One is good enough. They are always just copied of the one on the other side. It's like looking in a mirror twice. We need a law/regulation forbidding double breast exposure! One at a time. No one can really argue against this.
>>733273392more like trooned out

>>733258969This was very fun to figure out at the start but after a while it just became frustrating because of the learning curve. Having to learn almost a hundred different sigil combinations and their card effects is a very big ask.

I'll wishlist it for now. Hope it gets better, and the dev ditches his broccoli hair.

>>733255786I played the demo, it has nothing going for it aside from the hot wife model.It's actually quite remarkable how bad the interior design is, you have what's supposedly a family home that's the size of a fucking mansion and every room looks like it's part of a real estate ad instead of a home people actually live in. Pretty rare to see something so astoundingly artificial that it actually pulled me out of the game.
>>733272685It's a pretty well recorded thing that people experience choice fatigue, now mix in 1 good game for 1200 my first gamedev project utilizing asset flips and people clock out.I can't help but wonder how many good indie games missed the spotlight because they were buried under a pile of shit.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3552140/Retro_Rewind__Video_Store_Simulator/This was surprisingly decent if you like these kind of job sim games. They scratch a particular itch for me but I don't like the low effort asset flip ones that make up the majority of the genre. Retro rewind has some polish though and might even be comfy dare I say.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4302110/CHASM_SHIFT/CHASM SHIFT is basically a precision platformer like celeste and such. Great ambience. The game tells you nothing other than how to press buttons at first and I almost dropped the it because of the limited movement capabiliies at the beginning of the demo but I'm glad I didn't.It's nothing revolutionary other than the air dash being locked to aim diagonally so you have less freedom to orient yourself with than what you'd expect
>>733281038There's another game just like it this fest.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3977290/Rewind_99/
>>733266068Does the goblin fighter stack armors too or weapons only?I only gave him the mage armor because his text only mentioned being able to stack weapon boosts.
>>733281325The gameplay is pretty basic but the labyrinthine level design is what really stands out, I can only imagine how elaborate the full game will get.
>>733281678It all stacks, yeah. It's hard trying to balance making the lines sound at all natural with the game mechanics.There's no equipment slots really, just stat increases. I thought about using equipment slots but it'd be a pain to show it all in a world space UI.When fighting the mage, only MDEF matters so the other armor doesn't help either way though.
>>733281038>>733281485I also found this one about running Japanese video games shop over decades of changing market but it's more of vn. I haven't played it yet.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4054560/Sunset_Game_Shop_Shayou__Demo/?curator_clanid=45520898

>Idea Fucktory makes a metroidvania>It sucksSasuga
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4019180/ULTRA0/I really enjoyed the aesthetics, story snippets and peek at the personalities of the characters for ULTRA 0, just a shame that the gameplay felt lacking. I've played shmups where the focus was on dodging alone before but I can't put the finger on why in this case I have the impression that something is missing. It's no Mirage Feathers or ASURA THE STRIKER... shame the demo only lasted 10 minutes, literally.Also it's a personal issue but I wish there were deadzone settings.That said, presentation was solid on both the visual and musical fronts and I believe the game hinted at the possibility of fighting bosses that wouldn't announce where they would shoot, so it should get more challenging later on. Anyway less yapping the video should speak for itself
>>733281325Oh, it's the Monumentum dev again. I thought those visuals looked familiar. That was decent. Not as unique as Monumentum but still fun.
Interesting games I found that I don't have yet time to play:https://store.steampowered.com/app/4339520/Runeomicon_Demo/Tower defense where you play as warlock and generate power by drawing runes.

The semi-realistic moaning sounds and laughs from the succubi clashed hard with the RPGmaker doujin H-game aesthetic the game is aiming for, the experience ended up being uncomfortable for me. It was still great though, it's like succubus prison in gameplay but with some focus put on the story like corpse party witch heart sort of. I am a sucker for pixel art hentai too, the animations were great so I wishlisted it which is rare for me to consider for WEGs
>>733283773Oh? Well that's okay with me because his previous game's demo was like 80% of the game already so when I got the full game it was annoyingly done in only a few minutes. Still liked it but that sucked. I'll just wait for the full game of this one.

>>733284531Try reading the posts he replied to.
>>733283812>that VNThe most unforgettable horror porn game I've ever played. No other game had a bunch of elementary schoolers gangbang a teenage girl against a wall. And the teenage girl loved it. No other game I've played had a 17 year old bishonen guy drink a 14 year old girl's piss and chase her down the hall to rape her, only to wind up getting anally raped by a 32 year old fat man. I still remember the scene where a 16-17 girl was hiding under a bed as her same age best friend was having sex with that same 32 year old fat guy on top. She heard every moan, bed shake and sound. In the wrong end she was discovered under the bed by her friend and made to join. A most terrifying scene was when an unwilling girl relives another girl's sex memories. The girl in the memory consented but the reliving girl didn't. It didn't matter that she was mentally screaming, her body in the memory did all the motions and actions as in history. It's like mind control rape except the victim was fully aware. Another scene the same girl and a friend were almost raped in a magic sex ritual, saved by the girl's older sister, and the backlash made the older sister want to rape her younger sister and friend.The loli in this pic is freakishly lewd and once disguised herself as a teenage girl, fucked a boy until he nearly came, transformed back saying>You thought you were having sex with a highschooler weren't you? I'm an elementary schooler all along!And leglocks that boy, forcing him to cum inside her unprotected, when he screams in fear upon learning this. This isn't even getting into the tentacles, the gay sex, the lesbian sex, the incest, the sequel's mother/daughter lesbian scene, etc. The first chapter alone contains lots of lesbian sex scenes with an unavoidable girl masturbating in the bathroom. Truly horror is intrinsically connected with sexuality.
>>733230236I had fun. I'm using a DirectX controller without SteamInput enabled though and the game wouldn't read down on the D-pad so I had to play with the keyboard instead.I'd also echo the other people saying there should be an unlockable gallery. Probably make it so clearing with fewer deaths = more stuff getting unlocked.

>>733286297you are one stupid motherfucker
pretty sure you can just steal the monopoly board outright, no changes needed. it's why walmart has 30 versions of the same game.
>>733286137> no demofaggot
>>733278938If you have a good game loop and no budget to make a bloated fixed "storyline" of missions, they are a blessing.Otherwise they get replaced with storyslop or Angry Birds like star system.I wish some older games like Etherlords were a roguelite, so I wouldn't have to deal with poorly made bloated maps, because those were popular at the time.
>>733286137>Choro-Q game but without the cute little carseh
this whole next fest is kind of confusing to me because developers are some how able to post games I don't like? that doesn't make any sense. everything's about me. It's all about me.
can't find anything interesting this time around

I'm so pissed at the state of H-games these days, almost none of the ones on steam have actually good gameplay that can stand on their own and it pisses me off.I get why, kinda, but it annoys me to no end, if I just want hot pictures I could just go to a booru.

Video Games! a children's toy and you suck at that even.
>>733289339this post just reeks of desperation. you can see them change tactics as the thread goes on. they try say whatever they can to get people to stop playing demos. never seems to work. Now they've resorted to making up dumb fairy tales.>I saw the developer of the pink bunnygirl platformer in the park, stealing coins out of the water fountain.

>>733296273I'm playing it right now too but I'm trying to figure out the achievements before I do the point of no return with the tournament. Crimson Capes also came out just before and it was also great.
>>733297684oh I just said fuck it and went right for it. We will see if it turns out to be a mistake to not do every sidequest beforehand. I suspect it's not really the finale anyway. It'd be too soon!
>>733285151I brought this up to the dev in the last thread.He said he remapped down to R1/R bumper and up to Y/North face button on the controller.I forget his reasoning for it but it had something to do with avoiding the player accidentally dropping the bomb or something.
So what’s going to be the next friendslop game?
>>733298042Yeah I saw that after I posted, but he evidently forgot to update the in-game graphic to match.
I'll start playing demos again soon.
