>>733327094This demo made me feel so fucking incompetent.
Saw this. Definitely trying to ride on Darkest Dungeon's coattails. Same colouring, same crown of thorn-esq halos, and at least half the name.Game looks nothing alike, but still a bit dodgy

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3976570/Guns_and_Nuns_Storming_Hell_Demo/I made this game with stuff I like: Nuns, guns and melodic rock. You play as Angelica Amadeus, a nun storming hell for fun with two golden desert eagles. This game it's a pure arcade experience, no roguelike elements or random upgrades, you find hourglasses scattered around the map to extend your timer and you keep your como count high to get big scores at the end.The demo have the first map and the first two weapons, but the final game will have 7 maps, a total of 9 weapons and two additional game modes. Have fun!!!

>>733333789Looks great, I'll give it a try and be extremely harsh in my criticism.

I kind of wanted to beat a level so I could see what the visual novel/slice of war-time life scenes were like, but I was sort of sucking at the game. That's fine, though, it's good and I'll have time to get better at it during the full game launch.Out of the sidescroller/action/run/gun/2d style genre of this fest, I think it's the one I liked the most and would be a guaranteed purchase. The other ones I tried were:https://store.steampowered.com/app/4241990/Alien_Strike_Blasting_the_Intruders_Demo/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2171910/Forehead_Chip/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2980900/Haunted_Lands/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3092480/Super_Alloy_Crush_Demo/And maybe more, I play a lot. And the genre is sort of broad. I might be able to play all the demos because they are short, but would I buy all 5 full releases? enh.. Anyway, Eagle Knight paradox has an Evangelion aesthetic. You're a crippled kid, but that doesn't matter to giant robot piloting and might actually be required because it looked like they plugged right into his stump and caused him massive pain but the other cadets didn't look like they were missing limbs so I dunno how necessary that was? Exploring the town between missions does sound pretty cool, I think.

>>733334093I am planning on making more poses for the final game, mostly depending on how well it's the player's score. For now she only does her main pose.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4273470/Crushed_In_Time_Demo/I didn't play There is No Game because it rubbed me the wrong way for some reason, but I'm impressed by this so far. Short, bite-sized demo though

>>733334664Well just wake me up once you put her in a bikini
I had no clue what the fuck was going on in this demo. I think I skipped the tutorial by mistake or maybe that was the tutorial, I don't know. I didn't know what anything in my inventory was, the characters only communicate through pictures. What do you mean? Are you saying go here to get a gun, or I need a gun to get there? This map you showed me has a dotted line pointing out a key. Is that where the key goes or where I find the key? Where am I right now in relation to wherever I need to be, howabout that? Everything is environmental storytelling, too. There's people crucified on the wall for some reason. fuck if I know what's going on here. Oh and I'm probably just a clone because I literally respawn everytime I die and things I accomplished stay accomplished.wishlisted.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2989810/Duck_Side_of_the_Moon_Demo/Cute, inoffensive game. Gamepad controls need work but it's a pretty relaxing game where you just explore a bit to collect resources, crafting items and upgrades. Not a survival game thankfully

>>733339810looks kind of cool but I don't really go for fast paced games
>>733339854This is from an old next fest, I remember playing that a few months ago.
Nightmare Circus was solid. Liked it the more I played. It's very much on the easy side, but I really like the artstyle and the abilities you get with the lasso and slingshot. Should get harder as the game goes on at least. Recommended if you like those combat-heavy Zelda clones like Death's Door.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3227900/Nightmare_Circus/
>>733339810>panic roommeant panic floor*>>733339920The only thing fast-paced about ULTRA0 is the movement, you don't shoot at things in this anyway.
>>733339951It was the worst one of that festival too. The worst one ever. of all time.
>>733339810He's the biggest case of a self-serving dev. Send him to community service.
>>733340035I don't know, I enjoyed it. Could've been better, I disliked the damage numbers
>>733339995Finally a good rec
>>733340080Who else is he supposed to be serving? Your priorities are all messed up man. It's like expecting a wolf not to eat meat.
>>733340080At least the game he's shilling has promise, it's among the favorite demos I've tried thus far.Can't say the same for the guy shilling his green dragon low poly game that begins with a F, I forgot its name but surely you know what I'm talking about.Webm rel is HyperTyper2000 btw.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3125430/HyperTyper_2000/

>>733333789Is the low mouse sensitivity normal? Even maxxed out I can't aim very fast
>>733340412Well prudes are a laughing stock? This sounds like a personal vendetta. Did you get laughed at, anon? uh-oh.
>>733340080>roughly 60 posts advertising the game over the last three yearsThat's not too bad. It looks like it's almost all in the gamedev threads too.
>>733340432This is the first time somebody told me something about the mouse sensitivity, maybe it's the mouse sensitivity from your OS. I will update the demo for steam fest soon, so I will increase the limit for the mouse sensitivity option just in case.
based fucking doggo. super cute pupper. I'm going to fuck up those wolves and coyotes who try steal my sheep with their silly contraptions
>>733340867Why don't the other humans trust Hubert
>>733340924divided loyalties, some humans don't trust german shepherds to not join the wolves and turn evil. A dog that could control entire herds, working for the bad guys? It'd be apocalyptic.
>>733340856I don't know, maybe it's supposed to be on the heavier side? But compared to this other demo I've tried, I can't aim or turn around as fast as I'd like to. I'm not a big FPS player so I don't know if there are conventions or like limitations in this genre (like tank controls in certain horror games or deliberately heavy movement in platformers)I can make a video to show what I'm talking about maybe.For people who want to know, game is The Last Salvage Squad:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3551190/The_Last_Salvage_Squad/

By the time the event starts there won't be any games left to talk about.
>>733333789That doesn't look like a desert eagle, or even two of them. Are you sure you like guns?
>>733341974Make a YouTube video with the ass shot as the thumbnail and then rake in all the controversy clicks. Make a thread after that if there are 10 negative comments so anons can laugh at the comments.
>>733342369better talk about them now, then, faggot.
>>733342108oh shitthis is actually way better than that secret agent dog game
None of you understand. I can only talk about demos after February 23rd. It's like I'm being punished for being a good citizen.
>>733342369You should know by now that the best time to play/talk about games with /v/ is before they come out
>>733342545>>733343381I don't know what drives you to act this dense.Some good games could be completely ignored by organic discussion because people who found them early will not repost about them when the highest amount of people is looking, i.e when the next fest actually startsImagine seeing the steam next fest thread on february 23 and realizing there were 7 threads you missed out on, no one will parse through those
>>733343953nta but I will. I bookmark the threads to look through them later because I can't be bothered to navigate the sea of slop. I know anons will work for me
>>733343953lmao. half the time people are whining about people advertising their games and now you're criticizing me for not advertising them well enough?I just play the games, someone else can worry about popularity metrics.
>>733343953>see Next Fest thread on /v/>refuse to read it because Valve didn't tell you it's time for Next Fest yet>complain that other people made you miss out on games
>>733343953Your logic is contradictory, if people deliberately altered their speech patterns to conform to highest viewership periods, that would be the opposite of organic discussion.So, you're a stupid moron who doesn't know what he's talking about. Who could have guessed?
>>733343953>this guy having the audacity to call other people dense.Anyway, I've prepared the organic discussion scripts so we can all memorize our lines for the official organic discussion festival.

This next fest is very satisfying for cute puzzle games, so many of them sokobans in design though.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3739300/Cat_Squeeze/CatSqueeze was funny. The goal is to create dead ends/corners at the exit point of any tube so the space pirate I mean cat can squeeze through and explode to break walls down. It's a bit weird but becomes fun when you understand the rules. Very cute presentation, I can tell my niece will love this.
>>733347195Im fucking tired of sokoban shit
>>733347264pushing square blocks fulfills a primal urge
>>733347195Oh yeah, forgot to mention that while CatSqueeze is cute and all, it's a bit buggy unfortunately. At least it was on my end. If you press a button on the title screen with your controller, keyboard and mouse inputs stop working, and of course you can't use your controller at all in the game which is a shame.Also the rewind button has to be pressed repeatedly, it cannot be held down which fucks with muscle memory from similar games (baba is you)

>>733339810Is everyone trying to make a Space Harrier clone now because of Mirage Feathers?
Puppergeist was a cool adventure game that has some (easy) Rhythm Heaven mini-games you need to beat in order to progress. Very cute and I wishlisted it even before playing the game at first glance, but the gameplay could definitely need some polish. The second minigame where you need to pat and belly rub the dog lacks audio feedback for instance.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4040970/Puppergeist_Demo/But it was cute. The art is cute, the story is cute, Claire the main character is cute and funny, the music is cute. It's a demo so progress isn't saved and you can't practice the songs without doing the story again. Can still recommend it for people who like this kind of thing (Bits&Bops, PastelParade, Rhythm Doctor, Melatonin) or dog lovers in this thread, I know there's a few of you.
>>733348825It's almost like that's industry standard since the dawn of commercial products.
>>733344981It also have cute brown protagonist from the look of it. Or maybe my expectations are just low.
>>733348262ULTRA0 is much less involved gameplay-wise compared to Asura The Striker. For one you don't even have a button to shoot, you're mainly focused on dodging and aiming by moving around. You can still use bombs and a heal button but that's it.>>733348589I welcome it if that's the case, Mirage Feathers was awesome. I have a friend who went and tried games like Sin&Punishment because of it

>>733349687My enthusiasm for this deflated a bit because they changed the vocals on the Maniac track and, me being an autist, I much prefer the original song they used because it's the first version of it I heard. Hope there are more songs I like just as much in the full game.
>>733348815>Puppergeist was a cool adventure gameyou could only walk left to right but it was really good for a demo, thanks for sharingpic rel got me teary-eyed, I'm weak for dogs. last time I felt that way was ghost trick

Another batch I've played recently.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2799050/Mourning_Tide/Horror fishing game. The fishing minigame is original and doesn't copy any other ones(That I know of). You try to keep your fishing bob within a certain area of the actual surface ocean.

yeah dude sure
I had Akatori in my wishlist for I don't know know how long. Man, it is very disappointing. The combat is weird and floaty. Enemy respawn within the SAME screen somehow. Movement feels cool and clunky at the same time... The character is soooo stiff with no reach, it isn't fun at all. Like, the game tells you can launch enemies, cool. Then you realize that air combat is so bad, you don't want to do that. As for the level design, even if it's just the beginning, it felt too random. Even the tutorial itself is bad somehow, and the inputs on the screens aren't the right one.Couldn't finish it. Too bad, the setting is great but the gameplay is unbearable.
>>733359748>>733359748Pretty cool but I'm immediately shit at it lol, tried to play a bit on hard but I keep pressing the key next to the one I'm trying to press. Funnily enough this never happens when typing. I wonder if this would be cooler if you were typing actual words instead of just pressing random keys.
>>733360591>Pretty cool but I'm immediately shit at itThat's why I didn't record a harder section kek. It's still too many keys for me and I need more practice. But I'll wait for that until the game releases / early access>I wonder if this would be cooler if you were typing actual words instead of just pressing random keys.If the chart editor is good people will probably at least try this idea>inb4 someone makes a chart where you just type nigger over and over

>>733329565Why would someone go on the internet and just lie like that?
could be good, demo allegedly coming out soon
>>733361939sure, but horror/fishing is such a niche idea and yet there's a surprising amount of games that have been going for that lately. it isn't like it is something that has been a slow trickle over years and years, it feels like a bandwagon after the success of dredge. it isn't like a bunch of devs were going "yeah, shadow over innsmouth is my favourite short story ever", it is more "dredge was successful and is a fairly easy model i can replicate to maybe make some money".also yes, indie horror slop has been exceedingly disappointing. the amount of RE/SH clones with nothing interesting going on for them is insane. it hurts that no one even TRIES to iterate on the formula, they all just want to make 1:1 clones.
>>733361939Since you seem to be a bit of a horrific freak yourself, your character testimony on horror is accepted by this tribunal.
>>733348953The game has two protagonists. There was an earlier demo with the guy. This current demo is from later in the game.

>>733360436For some reason, the developer changed from HypeTrain Digital to some random developer in Kazakhstan. I'm guessing the main developer got laid off or was let go and he had to join some other team to finish the game. He planned to do a Kickstarter but it never materialized. There's probably a lot of dev hell going on behind the scenes.They had a demo two years ago called Chapter One. While I wouldn't say it was amazing, I liked it a lot more than the current demo. It was the full intro to the game so you had more coherent level design, pacing and ability progression. The vertical slice approach they're taking for the current demo just feels all over the place. If you're interested, I still have it in my library and can still download it and can share, but it's pointless since I doubt they'll ever reverse course.

not bad I guess, you're the boss of a spaceship and have to decide what personnel get sent to which job. if you send incompetents, they screw it up and die somehow.Like the chest mimic game, it's more of a mini-game than a full game. This should just be one part of a space adventure game not the whole thing, like how identifying mimics would be a good subsystem for a full adventure game.

>>733373751Even bad press can get people to try it, like the Cuphead reviewer who sucked dick at the game
>>733358225I agree that a lot of games are trying this and not really succeeding at meshing the genres well. I know I called it horror but really its just a relaxing game that doesn't beat you over the head with the horror. The end of the demo has you catching a mermaid thing and it was all scripted and rather than horrifying, it was just funny to me.

>>733376564>>733377053Shame, it seemed to be fun and looked good. I have no issue with anime-looking westoid games only having an eng dub like UNBEATABLE because the music itself is in english and it could add to the charm but in denshattack which feels more "otaku" in comparison it's just grating.I looked into the steam discussions and apparently jap dub + eng subs will be available in the full game, I don't know why devs thought it'd be wise not to have the option in the demo.Maybe if you change the game language to japanese you get the jap dub?

A deck building strategy/puzzle game where you have to create decks that can KO your opponent in one turn. It's a simple concept but the game does a great job innovating with it and throwing new boss mechanics to force you to adjust your strategy. You can upgrade cards and there's a lot of cool deck types to make. Story is pretty basic, but it is a heartwarming message. A small but very fun game, one of my favorites.>Pathologic 3>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3199650/Pathologic_3/Very atmospheric horror/mystery game. If you liked Pathologic 2 it's not as good, but I would still recommend it. The caveat is that survival elements, free roaming the town, and combat are toned down a lot this sequel in favor of time-travel and town management mechanics. It's a lot more wordy and almost like a visual novel, but the writing is still very good. It's got a heavy does of Eurojank so might be best to wait a few months for patches, especially for the price.>Unbeatable>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2240620/UNBEATABLE/A super stylish and energetic rhythm adventure game. It offers both a 6-8 hour story mode and a typical rhythm game mode where you play tracks with modifiers, leaderboards, etc. Game oozes soul and has a really heartfelt story with charming characters. I will warn that the writing is pretty progressive with a heavy anti-government/police message. If you're skeptical watch a video a bit to see if you enjoy the games tone or not.

Finished the Eternal Life of Goldman demo. It's pretty fun, good platformer mechanics, absolutely beautiful hand drawn graphics, and pretty good music. The writing is weird. There's a framing narrative where this is all a troy being told to a sick kid by his mom in the hospital. I have no idea where it's going but it's both too long and kind of pretentious.I'll keep it on my wishlist though, if the kid doesn't die at the end I'll buy it.

I've mostly posted them before, but who knows, maybe the whiners are right and I shouldn't just post them once when I tried them and be done with it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2537470/Vultures__Scavengers_of_Death/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3726370/Heavy_Metal_Death_Can/https://store.steampowered.com/app/764930/Hubert/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3157170/Data_Fantasy/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3008700/Eagle_Knight_Paradox/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4111250/Alonitaire/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3337980/Ivayami__Cradle_of_Fog/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3103560/SideEye_High/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4012690/The_Big_Hollow_1982/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3983000/Parasite_Mutant/

>>733399972That's exactly why.Because gamers see that idiot Gabe Newell as a god or king of gaming.He just puts one game on sale on Steam, and PC gamers worship him.That disgusts me.I'm also disgusted by the obsession with that Half-Life 3 crap.
>>733400202I worship pc gaming because of qbittorrent
>>733400202So you don't really hate the guy himself you just hate how PC gamers treat him
>>733400263But I hate PC gaming.My true home is with free-to-play Android games, retro console emulators, and games that are the antithesis of PC games.I'd rather play with my fingers on a smartphone touchscreen than use a mouse and keyboard.

>>733400426You can play pc games with a controllereven better on your low end smartphone you can stream games from your PC to your phone 100% locally using moonlight and apollothat way you can play games with a controller like if it was a handheld without being part of the gabe newell tranny steam ecosystem and it gives you the illusion of playing on consoleit even works on 3DS
>>733400338I could say that what I truly hate is the PC gamers players community.But even so, I'd rather kiss the feet of Google, Jews, or even ChatGPT.Than pay homage to that idiot Gabe Newell.
>>733389597I can fix her
>>733399368idk does Super Lone Survivor have an Android port? I just play indie games on Steam and itch.io
>>733400701I prefer playing using my fingers on my smartphone's touchscreen.Also, I do have a controller, but I use it to play games on my tablet (which is also Android) using the emulators I have installed (Flycast, DuckStation, and PPSSPP).
>>733400990Look into Joiplay. There are rpg maker games you can play only using the touchscreen. This is how I play some H-games that only have walking around or clicking stuff as part of the gameplay
>>733400935Steam can go to hell.Besides, I want games that are native to Android and that I can download for free from the Google Play Store.
>>733401116Are you retarded or something? Itch.io gives apk files for your shitty phone

what kind of scam involves beta costumes in a game no one has ever heard of?
>>733400579Kwaidan's UI is novel and the level design is decent enough but it has some of the shittiest boss fights I've ever seen in the genre.
>>733340240Played through this. I can see the potential of the concept but I feel like it's just going to be a 8-minute demo that fades into obscurity, nothing leaves a strong impression.>I honestly think the one-handed typing gimmick is inherently flawed. It does not feel good to have the 'best' control scheme wherein I have to type with just my left hand, use space as a backspace and mlb as enter.>pretty much every enemy in the demo gets trained (but to be fair it's only floors 1/2 and the same logic gets applied to pretty much every topdown roguelite)>room layouts are whatever, no standout room layouts that plays into the mouse movement/discourages training>unless there was some shit that you could only find out in the tutorial since I just dove headfirst on the highest difficulty, parrying is pretty much never worth going for as opposed to just speedtyping it>falls into the trap that alot of typing-based games do, where it's plays moreso as an abstracted typing test than a typing game. The single-handed typing is somewhat combats this but with the current enemy patterns/behaviours, it's not enough in my opinion.>maybe it was just bad luck but none of the items I saw played into the typing aspect which is a shame; can't really make any further comments on item design since I only played through one run but I feel like it'll fall into the same pitfalls that many one-off forgotten roguelites do in terms of item design
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4027700/OVERTYPE/
>>733403675Yeah that's a fair assessment. I was hoping that the parry mechanic would force you to both type fast and react in time to otherwise unavoidable attacks
>>733406171>otherwise unavoidable attacksI don't think parrying would change that, unless you introduced chasers that you couldn't outrun (which I could see, if there's a melee parry mechanic [I never bothered testing to see this] that performs knockback I guess) or gave enemies homing hitscan which sounds aids. The bigger issue is honestly just the infinite range laser the player has, since you can just find out the enemy word, run off/start the train and murder them offscreen (which is made easier because they all chase in a predictable direct path + there's no aiming mechanic where you can miss, only blocked by walls which is trivial to account for). I was never at risk from taking any projectile damage because I was basically half a screen away from the source
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4272080/Retired/This kinda jank shit is my jam. Physics based time trial, momentum of the tire spinning when you hit the ground is satisfying for the limited control it brings.Also found a glitch, I'll have to figure out if the devs have any kind of reporting.Webm related, pause and then spam jump while on the ground using controller input and then unpause. You can hear the jump sound effect and the impulse from every press is released on unpause.First time was 5-6 button presses, second time I just spammed.
>>733401583Never ev->Spring 2026Neat.
>>733399076I really liked One Turn Kill, but I'm a card game junkie so I might be biased. Only issue I can say is that it might be too easy to break it during the endgame. You don't really have to innovate and try new decks, but you should since there's a lot of fun stuff (the shooting card is really fun imo). Max difficulty run is pretty hard though, you gotta think quickly.Unbeatable is really good yeah. Other than the Prison chapter I had a blast with it

>>733407257I also liked One Turn Kill. Draws being your card resource was a very fun mechanic to play around with. I didn't mind that it was unbalanced

>THEY DIDN'T WRITE THE NEWSPAPER>they didn't write the newspaper>THEY DIDN'T WRITE THE NEWSPAPER>they didn't write the newspaper
>>733422019>I weren't going to readWho knows? Filler text and other seemingly pointless elements in games are what give meaning a.k.a soul to these things.The more you incorporate generative AI, agents or LLMs into creative endaevors the less appealing the final product becomes, and you'd be buying something that is essentially aimlesss. I can guess that none of your favorite games had LLMs involved in the visual or music direction. I'm not against AI use by principle and I also hate self-entitled """""""artists""""""" on twatter. And it's also really useful to speed up mundane tasks for productivity especially when it comes to programming but even with the latest local models you need to seriously tard wrangle them. Don't blindly believe in the shill posts on twitter saying they're able to generate websites or working UIs without the need of human intervention, it's plain false.Going back to the game and the AI newspapers articles. This seems to be a slower paced title meaning there is a higher chance of players stopping to look at stuff instead of blazing through a level. "Unnecessary" background details like that is probably what helps making those movie/bookgames have higher layers of immersion by fleshing out the setting, slipping in worldbuilding elements etc. Leaving LLMs to replace people for things that would benefit from the subjectivity of the human soul doesn't sit right with me. And I don't even play games of this genre

>>733425042hating new technology for no reason makes you a contrarian. you actually deluded yourself into thinking anyone agrees with you?
meh. fishing is a minigame in other games not a whole game by itself.
>>733400051Another excellent pure platformer. I don't know what happened this fest but compared to the previous ones at least from my point of view there's a really good haul of those. Usually, metroidvanias would steal the show but so far it's the opposite.Anyway all of that to say Croak is good, feels good to play, the tongue-grapple-walljump mechanic is satisfying to use and the visuals are colorful, may I say soulful even. If I had to raise one complaint it's about the replayability of the levels. I have autism but you can't do a perfect clear (speed, 0 deaths, collect all coins) the first time. It's the kind of game that encourages you to play the level with a secret hunting mindset, then the perfectionist mindset. Many see this as a positive and in fact this is good level design, and I understand why but then again I have autism.

what's your favourite game so far? I can't be bothered to skim the thread and steam search obviously sucks
Anons you surprised me this time. It's a new record low of finding games with a male protagonist. Four games for the whole thread!

You have access to three islands and I think a final battle (haven't reached there yet), which amounts to like 5-6 hours of fun, depending how much you want to explore/build, and you will never have to play the game again. 10/10.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4200970/Operation_Eventide/All-ages(?) visual novel about a girl who gets killed fighting monsters and gets revived as a cyborg five years later. The story starts as soon as she wakes up and is focused on the shock of it. I only read up to the start of day 2 which was already 80 minutes and enough for me to decide I liked it, and while there were a couple grammatical errors the writing as a whole is solid. And also the girls are erotic.
>>733348129Reminds me of Auto Modellista (which I like) but there's no demo to download, at least on Steam (which I don't like)Also the Steam trailer runs at like 17 fps, if you're the dev go fix it cause it's a massive turn-off.
