This is the last day before the next fest actually starts, meaning if you wanted to parse the discovery queue before the steam algorithm putting popular games at the top, this is your chance.
>>733555910I will post a game and I won't say it's name!
>>733556020I think I got through most of it. I wishlisted plenty that didn't have a demo yet so I should get a notification if they launch a demo during the festival, and if they don't just unwishlist them later.
>>733555961Your store page gives me no indication of how this would help to learn Japanese because all I can see from all of the promotional material is that sometimes kanji will be on the top of the screen for some reason and sometimes you need to guess the meaning of a kanji out of four options. The kanji learning and the survivors gameplay seem completely disconnected.

>>733556020People try their hardest to kill next fest threads during the press preview stage because they can't handle getting upstaged by true indies after they paid everyone off!And you have a few useful autists who go along with the corporations of their own volition, without even being paid.
>>733556020You can get an early look at what demos will be popular. Unsurprisingly, it's all Borneo trash. But our snow plow tank game is in the top 20. Go our girl

>>733557449It's fine but has like 3 hours of content and is incredibly generic beyond the terrain deformation gimmick.Like I'm gonna buy it when it launches and have fun, but it's gonna be like a solid 7/10.Still worth playing the demo if you're an ARPG fan.
The game The Last Night..I mean Replaced is kino
>>7335585293 gigs isn't so bad. i'll try it.

happy to see the demos i hate aren't being talked about. no I won't say which ones, if I said their names, you'd talk about them.

>>733560421When the time comes to avoid the games, you won't need to.
>>733560810those are gnolls, dumbassand you dont make a card battler because you like to put effort into making a variety of assets
>>733561193No one knows what a gnoll is. Your game needs more sprites
>>733561193Those are kobolds, birdbrain
Good thing for the press preview, on the dawn of the normies arriving, all that will be talked about is the Resident Evil 9 demo, the Silent Hill Demo, the Fatal Frame 2 remake demo.

Did Windrose pre-win this next fest?
>>733560810>Each subsequent mission just throws more and more gnolls at youWaiting until they all finish their turns was really annoying, thankfully the game gives you access to a nuke later.Plot feels like a typical isekai, girls are cute.Counter and combo mechanic are cool.Also suprised that this is not actually a deckbuilder, you don't build your deck in the demo at least.
>>733562348i really don't get why they don't implement simultanious turns for the ai at least. dos2 and bg3 was a fucking slog
This demo was a strong positive surprise for me, ENTER Valerie.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3568960/Valerie/I was expecting a boring walking sim with a female coded-story, but I got instead a decent platformer with secrets, satisfying physics, good atmosphere and interesting setting that got me curious about the story and future gameplay both. Such a great palate cleanser especially put against the eternal kike Goldman game. This game meanwhile already had a stronger hook both in gameplay and plot with much less dialogue or filler. That said, the area was a little too big to explore and lacked a real challenge to tackle, to add on that the wall climbing/running seems to trivialize level design. I guess the description did say it was a kind spirited game. The tutorial segments were more challenging than the game proper.Still the main character is a cutie, both as a kid and as a teenager/young adult. Wishlisted, I hope this succeeds.
>>733563016>The tutorial segments were more challenging than the game proper.
Sword Hero's demo is a ton of fun. The full game will be similar to Gothic or Outward.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739080/Sword_Hero/

>>733563280I really want a demo that's not just combat like these last 2. I've been wanting to see all the other gameplay elements
>>733563280the combat's pretty cool, but it's pre alpha
>>733559745Living Dead House is a pretty genuine attempt at an arcade-like game. The demo's a little barebones, but I've had fun with it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3817250/CICADAMATA/No demo yet but looks cool.
>>733566091demo comes out tomorrow. one of my most waited, looks like neon white
>>733530983>>733533093Dev here.Monstergirl Hunters is just a censored version of https://erodungeons.itch.io/ero-hunters, a steampatch will be available there.I just censored it for Steam because they rejected my previous NSFW game. There will be a patch to turn the Unpaid Interns back into Slaves and unlock the more bondage/fetish/underwear equipment.
>>733566050Yeah I enjoyed Darkhaven, gonna keep my eyes on the game
what killed the hype?

Kosenki looks great I hope demo comes soonhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4121220/Kosenki/
>>733550784Goblin dev if you still see this, the cheevos were bugged.Armed mage: I think you're supposed to give the hammer to the mage just to make him slower, since the other stat doesn't matter at all. But I didn't even think about the speed stat and gave it to my goblin and just got it anyway.Beat without crafting HP potion: Not necessarily bugged (maybe you wanted it that way) but it's a little different than what the description says. At least for the female warrior I'm pretty sure I crafted some potions but didn't give them to my goblin. It was just in case I needed them.Now for how hard they were, if you took your time to explore the map and find all items available it was fine. I think particularly if you don't find that rejuvenating seed thing for the lady you won't have a good time.Sure it did take me not few tries to get it right but that feels like what the game's about and it was what I enjoyed about it. I was also partly to blame because I didn't read properly. For example I gave my gobbo both speed reducing items and thought it was a bug that he wouldn't attack anymore kek
>>733563372Tell me if you beat the last round. I only scored half of the goal. But I never used those UFO Callers, I thought they were useless because I didn't find out you could sell stuff during the rounds
Blowjob.
>>733569562I don't know if I want to keep playing Raccoin lol

>>733572310Very original post
>>733553287Is this high quality demos, or demos for high quality games?Because the Big Hollow 1982 demo is not really "high quality", its too short. Its 2 puzzles long, and they are tutorial puzzles.
>>733555973>https://store.steampowered.com/app/4111040/Grgoire_Lefbvre_Investigations__The_Vow_of_Hate/do you need to know french to play this?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3971670/On_Your_Notebook/Just thought this demo was cute. Nothing special gameplay wise, your generic dodge patterns on a grid. I think if the dev added an animation of a hand drawing things, with a scripting sfx in the background in-between phase transitions, this would go a long way for making the player feel they're fighting notebook doodles. Would give much more personality to the game

>>733571690Anon... that game is everything wrong with the industry. 30,000 dollars spent on OTK expos and way too much pretentious Twitter usage.

>>733562184>survival craft-em-up slopjust let me play a regular pirate game, holy shit
>>733585882>Combat is horrible, though.Yeah, it ain't great.I appreciate what they're trying to do with having to manage your stamina and shields/poise but it just doesn't feel very satisfying.Also, you're pretty much forced to use the lockon mechanic because otherwise you'll miss and your attacks come out slower.I abused the shit out of the bleed rapier and just dodging while keeping the bleed debuff stacks going. In close quarters (like in boarding fights) it really falls apart because you'll get swarmed and die unless you abuse being able to jump back onto your ship.
>>733553287>>733554139wasn't Vultures already in a Next Fest and had an extremely buggy and unoptimized demo? I swear I remember this game running like shit and not even having controller support
>>733586839Yeah, we couldn't finish the game because of that. We managed to kill a few guys on Blackbeard's ship, but always died to a group of them overrunning us. Still, it was fun and hopefully the devs will fix it. I'm sure there was plenty of complaints about how undercooked the combat was.
>>733568917I don't.Keep in mind most Diablo fans are literally braindead. They are on par with Pokemon fans in terms of (low)brain activity
>>733587653No one can't sink lower than gachafags, though
>>733588197tendies and enjoyers of aaa westoid slop are unironically lower
>>733588685I very much disagree. It's a particular kind of deviance to be a gachafag, one that corrodes mental faculties and turns men into lower creatures.

>>733589657Turns out that "arcade" doesn't actually mean anything specific.There is no genre, and arguably not even a subgenre. The closest thing you get to an arcade game is to simulate the game being coin-op but with fake credits/tokens.
Anything like Romestead? I had a good time with that.
>>733590065Arcade is pretty broad yeah, but I guess like that anon hinted it requires there are no gameplay unlocks, your first run could be the same as your 300th.>>733559745Which reminds me, try evil egg. YOMI hustle dev did it and it's free.

The voices used for the characters are annoying but overall good demo>MissPellMetroidvania, the environments remind a little bit of Ori, and the combat is straight copy of Hollow Knight, even the sword swings have similar animation. Kind of short>Whiskers, Wizards and WandsIsometric action adventure game where you use pieces of wood to build different types of wands to fight enemies and interact with the environment. Visually inpisred by Paper Mario>Goblin Vyke The Thief TycoonBest demo i played so far today. Steal and loot from adventurers in dungeon and sell it at your shop. You can try to haggle to get higher prices for goods. You inherit a shop and have to repay the debt left by your father
>>733597550One thing i forgot to add, switching wand parts is clunky. Right now is not awful, but it clearly needs more development time
>>733554623Are you yet enlightened ?
>>733591153Finally a good game. Now this one I can get behind.
>>733591153About time BE GODS got something other than omega labyrinth
>>733562348>Also suprised that this is not actually a deckbuilder, you don't build your deck in the demo at least.Maybe they want to give you a curated deck for the demo. You also don't get to do anything outside of the battles. Seems decent, especially the presentation.
>>733563280I've replayed the demo hundreds of times now. I suck though, still haven't gotten past the assassins. Really good feel to it, can't wait.
>>733562184It's okay. Very polished, far more polished than its inspirations(Soulmask and Valheim) in the market and like the first anon replied the combat is horrible.It won't overtake Valheim or Enshrouded but can overtake the dogshit that is Soulmask though
>>733555535all of this should go without saying and yet when you point it out autists act like it's a personal attack on them

>>733597550>Goblin Vyke The Thief TycoonHeh, I had no idea it was 3d until they zoomed way in.Looks too simple, all steal scenes are from sleeping adventurers. besides the monsters.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509230/Gambonanza/NLbait and balatro ape.I gave up when the enemy had a fortress formation of 6 vs my 3. there was nothing I could do.maybe I needed to build up the economy.
>>733586413>>733590830Sorry you had to hear it anon. I'll see you at the /v/ thread now that this dev has made 4 of these.
>>733601834He added a tournament mode, you get to fight increasing waves of enemies. They get better equipment, armour and AI. They get faster, start to parry, get more aggressive, dodge out of range and dodge back in following your swings etc. Really good for an indie dev imo You also unlock equipment loadouts. If you die you have to go back down to the previous challenge level. Each level also increases the amount of wins you need to move on.
>>733563280I fucking LOVED the demo. It's hard as shit but I think the combat system is quite refined.>>733599071My main strategy is running around the arena like a retard and then charging at a group while swinging a mace and then running away again. One good swing can hit two targets.If you're erratic enough then they won't be able to hit you with arrows. They might still hit you with arrows because the AI aiming is far too accurate.
>>733602415Try jumping over the pressure plate
>>733602442the dev said he nerfed the aiming slightly, I haven't played since then but I hope it wasn't too much, I liked how good they were at leading shots I made a few more webmshttps://files.catbox.moe/bpdnol.webmhttps://files.catbox.moe/wtuz4a.webmhttps://files.catbox.moe/n3l0w9.webm>>733602503they just avoid it. I should have kamikazied on it and taken them with me...
>got excited thinking next fest was today and I'd be able to play Withering Realms all night>it starts tomorrowFuck. Well, at least I don't have work because of the snow.
>>733601598I'm pretty sure it's in the tutorial. Either way, that's how I play and it works.>>733601834It's another combat demo but it has more rounds and it takes place in a bigger arena with some more traps. You get better gear the more you progress, and you unlock console commands/cheats if you clear it.
Armastus.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3660710/Armatus/One of the few games in next fest I was looking forward to as it looked closer to a AA game than another indie title.In practice it feels like "We have Remnant at home".It's faster paced than Remnant but it's much more repetitive. You fight in one small arena after the other a limited set of enemies (and in a few rooms they're waves). After 1-2 rooms you get to choose an upgrade and then go to another fight, and then another upgrade, and so on ... untily you get a boss.Enemies are recycled a lot.This just made me miss Remnant and it's much more impressive level design and atmosphere.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3671740/KARATE_ROGUE/It's not part of the fest, it's part of Made in Japan 2026 Collection, but it has a demo.

When was the last time you were impressed by a Next Fest demo?
>>733600282You can steal from awakened ones, but you have a very short amount of time before they notice, so it's easier to steal from sleepy/dead
>>733605000Technically it wasn't a nextfest demo, but I immediately loved The Big Catch Tacklebox.Wishlisted and loved a ton of games since but that was the last high point.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4256840/Gambonanza_Demo/Chess Balatro, exactly what it says on the tin.Not the best in the world but I like chess so this is a fun twist on the game with a bit more agency than standard balatro (although falling victim to the same issues it did, namely too much reliance on RNG)
No screen captures since they didn't want to cooperate this timehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3282500/SweetsDevil/Literally Hotline Miami for children (and lolichads)Funhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4281790/GALAXYZ_neo/Home defense with story resembling Biscuit Hammer.I think this was planned as gacha at first (or maybe was long ago), but since they clearly lack budget, they just released it as is. You can tell from mobile controls and amount of characters you can "buy" in shop.
>>733606872The hotline game looks fun, although the second game advertising "simple controls" makes me raise my eyebrows.
>Alchemickalhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4326840/Alchemickal_Demo/Art style makes it look unpolished and generic but it's well thought out and handles smoothly. Enemeis get a bit samey but their elemental mix up keeps it interesting.
>>733606872>GALAXYZ neothis has to be art by Oshikiri Rensuke right? The guy behind High Score Girl. The name reminds me of GALAK-Z, an awesome game
>>733553225Alright heres another couple demos I played>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3723990/Bullet_Ouroboros/Dueling game with multiple monster girls. You load all the bullets in the chambers of two guns, some of which you want to shoot yourself with instead. You can also use the guns your opponent loaded. Rounds are pretty quick and its cute to see that there's different art for aiming at yourself or at your opponent. >https://store.steampowered.com/app/2638080/Annihilated/Rogue-lite rpg. Choose one of the bumfuck heroes to escort back to the surface with your basic mob ass sword. Steal weapons from monsters to actually do damage. Story wise I like it but I'm always mixed on roguelites.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2757950/Project_Cradle/Another sonic-esque game but the character designer is more competent than the usual. Momentum is the main focus though. Actually pretty fun compared to most sonic clones.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/Awaysis/Physics based action game. Slide around and swing your sword at at shit. The terrain is built around that too, which makes it fun.>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3783310/Sandloop/3d platformer as a rabbit thing in some desert shithole. Theres a timeloop mechanic but the core movement is kinda lacking. You do unlock more abilities as you go but nothing too crazy.

>>733614225Doesn't it go based on Seattle time where Valve is?
>>733606690The AI is a real bastard in this lost pieces stay lost between games and AI aggressively sets up unfavourable trades to capture pieces. I liked this one quite a bit tho the mix of regular chess + balataro + the shogi adjacent aspect of adding pieces to board mid watch was fun.
>>733556681>>733556913How do you get 3 stars for level 15? Literally impossible
>>733584632For real? Real shame, I thought shade protocol looked interesting. But I am not a fan of the twitter advertising presence, if welcome to doll town taught me anything it's that the more they do it the more the game sucks. Then again I don't mind the poke all toads dev doing itsuch a shame
>>733614334>Gunboat GodWell animated 2D action with sfx straight from Nuclear Throne. Great presentation at first with with the top-tier animation, but the black gets old fast. Nice fluid physics but doesn't completely engage me. Meh music.
>>733590963The way you feel about AI writing is the same I feel about AI assets. AI writing for official English posts could at least be excusable for non-English developers as long as the product they are selling does not contain AI imo. It's just sloppy advertising which can be fineThe content itself being sloppy is more insulting to the customer, I feel. Even for free demos
>>733614992The real kicker is that this 10K scamfest is involved here and the dev happily pays for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL2R8E2OZ30Poke All Toads is much cleaner for not using capital to get to places.

Maybe I should reword the achievement to be more specific.>gave it to my goblin and just got it anywayOh no that's not good, will fix>For example I gave my gobbo both speed reducing items and thought it was a bug that he wouldn't attack anymore kekI love it when this happens.

The more I go through the steam lists and the more I'm thinking of Sakurai's video on trailershttps://youtu.be/-4oPgNbnJCI?si=GmgrOhmofihSVMz0Some random indie slop really is expecting me to stick around for 30 seconds of lore dumping before showing me the actual gameplay lmao.

>>733619463>But why bother when Age of Empires II still exists?You can extend the logic to one perfect game in every genre and say that new games are redundant.
>>733620250Do devs announce if they'll have a demo during the full event or are there surprises?
>>733624903Not to genres that innovate, or genres that don't have the perfect game, or games that rely on art or story or surprise
>>7336253271. There can be no innovation without experimentation. 2. Perfect games don't exist as such. 3. A game is sum of all its parts
>>733625195From experience there are some devs that aren't in the press release and announce their participation in the fest on the day of, but it's a very small number. It's more common for someone to advertise but not drop the demo until the first day

>>733628473We ate all the good ones already sorry mate
>>733622178I absolutely can not stand a demo that can't get to the point and let me just play the fucking game. I hate games that do that as well, but it's especially bad in demos when the whole point is to let me play the game to see if I like it. A minute or two intro tops then I want gameplay. Some demos have 15-20 minutes of slow buildup and exposition which is insane. Demos should be a vertical slice, not the slow intro.
>>733629057here's a game for you mate >>733623292
>>733629119I play text and exposition-heavy RPGs all the time. You're a fucking retard if you think "a demo should get to the point and let me play the game" means the same thing as "games should be nothing but pure gameplay 100% of the time." And you have to be extra special retarded to take issue with that when talking about a demo event where people can download dozens of demos to try.
I made a joke to myself about how the Balatro clones will inevitably lead to one for solitaire and surely enough, some fuck did do that and the demo for it is in the festival. Fuck Balatro.

Neat mystery game where you play cards with people at a pub while asking them about the whereabouts of your missing friend and drinking an infinite amount of beer.

Since the Next Fest starts in 3 hours, this will be my last overview list of games with male protagonist. After the Next Fest is starts, I'll go and check for myself if it's true that devs have forgotten how to make male chars, or if it's just you anons who prefer playing only as female and keep crying why games have become so bad. Also I made a few mistakes in previous threads, because some games don't have a demo.

I enjoyed most stuff I tried out but it makes me kinda feel bad seeing all this trash while searching for interesting games.I don't like seeing games I know won't be popular as I think about how the devs must feel after release... you put your heart into it and then it's just not enough..
>>733642670Nice combo of genres but the nonograms weren't that interesting. Keeping the numbers hidden was just tedious and the sokoban aspect became trivial once the nongrams were formed.

>>7336524512 minutes in and it's already PEAK a lot of personalitysound design is somewhat overwhelming when not using headphones though
>>733652451nintendo ds neon white
>>733652532Your post made this sound much better than what I'm looking at now on YouTube. Why do some devs make it a playtest instead of a demo anyway? Gay
>>733652805why does it look so slow>>733653518in what world did that sound good? come on bro
this concept seems familiar
>>733653518>make it a playtestwhat's the difference?
>>733653831Generating content in games that is catered to my interest is the next big thing in vidya for me. I've been longing for this for a long time and while I realize people here don't like the sound of it, to me it just means more things I like that are easily accessible. So I don't see the issue>>733653903You request access and then when they accept you you'll be able to participate in the playtest. Sometimes it's a fully automated progress and everyone is immediately able to play, other times invites will be sent out in waves or you just won't get anything ever.Anyway it's just an added inconvenience for the player, and if the game doesn't look interesting enough, I don't bother
>>733654378>So I don't see the issueThe issue is that it's currently a pipe dreamHave you seen a single instance of this being implemented decently anywhere?
>>733653903broadly: a playtest is for feedback, a demo is for selling the gameplaytests are temporary, demos can be up foreverdemos can have their own steam page and iirc playtests can'tdemos can also get reviews now
>>733591153Oh hey that's my game, thanks for posting it anon.I made it with the help of a bunch of /jp/ anons, I hope you like it!
Based on my favs, what should I try next?
>>733647884>Autist doesn't even read the threads to see games with male protags that get talked about
>>733652039are you a fucking tank?
>>733652451Turns out the demo exceeded my hype, feels like a combination of the best parts from neon white, ghostrunner and ultrakill on top of strong artsyle and aesthetic.cicadamata unironically made me happy to be alive playing videogames. I pray this game gets the popularity it deserves. This game speaks to me in a way few can'tI kneel. I just kneel
>>733654598ofcourse the boobie inflation game is made by 4chan
>>733654567No I get that but I feel like if we just trash on every attempt there are no incentives to try to find working solutions.Like that cancelled sim game from the XCOM studio that was shown a couple days ago. People were shitting on it, but I thought it looked like a good enough first step in incorporating generative AI into games
>>733654626If you liked dead watch for the cute character design, you might enjoy ULTRA0https://store.steampowered.com/app/4019180/ULTRA0/If you liked it for the puzzle solving and exploration I have no rec unfortunately

>>733654626Is Break Wolf an h-game? Seems like it's not available in my store
>>733655831Personally I would say Schrodinger's Call is VN with puzzle elements that are just there to push the narrative. They fit the game but there isn't much mystery solving. Overall one of my favorites demos so far.
>>733632538You and me both retardbro
>>733653171And that's a good thing. I know this is a shitpost like that low poly PS1 discussion. We really need more DS inspired games, like Cutting Edge being a modern furry Trauma Center rendition.Anyway I'm not good at 3D shooting games but CICADAMATA felt very satisfying to play, probably with a high skill curve

Zero Parades was decent. It didn't grab me right away, but I got pretty invested in the story after talking to the people in the bazaar. Talking to the Format Fetishist and the girl who lost her father to a payphone was great. There's a lot less levity in it even if you're picking silly options, you have no partner to bounce off of, and your character seems to be a lot more normal, so it's much drier overall though. I also couldn't pick dialogue options using the number keys on my keyboard so I almost insta-dropped it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2863680/ZERO_PARADES_For_Dead_Spies/
>>733657993Thanks for the rec anon. I love videogames
>>733640038Feels like they gave the script of DE to an AI to make it different but not too different>start in dingy hotel room, talking to yourself but now your partner is also a fuckup>you have to solve an awkward situation at the hotel front desk but now you're not the one causing it>first things you can do: talk to an npc on a boat to get exposition and then try to get in the office of the local mob boss>trying to open up police documents causes you a mental breakdownAlso every option sounds like the unhinged response.

>>733664097Any anime-style game with actual fan service and production value is gacha these days. Big publishers have all taken the DEI pill, and small devs don't have the resources.
>>733664097It used to be a gacha game with NFTs. I figured they wanted to re-release it as a single player experience, but seeing the "SSR" tag on the characters, as well as the "in-app purchase" one makes me think that might not be the case.
