Does Deep Dish Dungeon ever have you cooking enemies and get complicated with recipes? I didn't play it for very long.
there's too much friendslop
>>733736649blame the consumer for rewarding it so often
I liked it
>>733733063>>733734660You know, the last couple of years I've been dreading the coming AI wave of slop. We've already had it bad with all the lazy clone games, but poor people with zero vision or moral + AI will bring on a new magnitude of slop, tsunami of slop, tens of thousands of games drowning out any chance of finding the good shit - and it will only grow larger. BUT - this year has been so fucking good, so many bangers so far. I now realize, this is an even worse fate. Rather than having trouble finding gems in a sea of shit, there are now so many good games made that you have zero chance of having the time to play even a fraction of the demos for them, let alone the games themselves. Even if you no-life like me. I've downloaded 250+ demos, played 59 so far. I've added six to my wishlist. It's good, but it hurts...
Where is the best place to send feedback? Steam forums?
>>7337372759/10 times yeah, unless it's a tranny dev, then you might have to go to bluesky or discord
>>733737275Depends on the dev. I've reported bugs several times on the steam forums and only one dev took 2 months to reply saying they didn't check the steam forums only discord.
>>733736864Agree, there is just too many fucking games that are amazing, shit like Million Depth or Claire a la Mode deserve waay more sales but gets down in the sea of good games
>リトル・リコレクター 体験版 Little Re-collector https://store.steampowered.com/app/4417810/_/Very cute art but the gameplay is dogshit, super basic.
Any good rpg? And I mean a proper story-driven rpg, not roguelike. Whatever if it's action rpg, crpg, jrpg or other.
Any good tit games with actual good stories or gameplay esp with anime girls. Pic is from "my ghost roommate" which can actually be found on itch.io free
>>733737505more art>>733737486>Claire a la ModeI swear, I felt like I was the only guy who praised it during its Fest. It's so tight and responsive, the bite size levels are just a delight. I haven't bought it yet though lol

>>733737731Tough question, I've played FPS since wolf3d. There are so many good variants. Outside of pvp, movement isn't as important as good, reactive AI imo. You can have slow, deliberate tactile movement and a good game as long as the AI is designed around it, like in Ghost Recon or SWAT. Halo 1-3 are great since the AI is so expressive and fun to play against. FEAR too. The most fun I've had in SP in recent years have been The Citadel and Beyond Citadel, since the reload autism helps you get immersed. Adds enough of a layer to really get you engaged. My top FPS games would be doom 1, 2, Halo 1-3 (reach sp sucked), HL with mp mods, Vietcong, BFBC2, The Citadel, Ultrakill, DayZ, q1, q3a, CoD 1-3, MW2, Crysis warhead, WGR2 Siege Breaker, lovely planet arcade, stalker, natural selection 2, painkiller, dark forces, SoF1... there are too many good to count. Out of Action is a really cool pvp experience, but there are so many options and you really need to give it some time to get to learn most of them if you want to know what other people are using

Wtf is with the rise of ntr and futa shit?Where is some good straight games?
>>733739163But futa is super straight
>>733737731smooth movement, no recoil or easy to manage recoil, infinite ammo or at least don't make me look for it, stimulating level design

>>733738985just leave things to destiny and your algorithm anon.
>>733737938I do hope there are more visual upgrades beyond just painting the tank like you can see in the trailer. It would be cool to be able to swap out the tracks or turret.

Cicadamata is pretty cool
>>733739885It was too messy visually for me (which I get is the point but still) and I'm not a fan of time/score attack games
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4041880/KARATE_ROGUE_Demo/Had it added to my wishlist before playing, it's a day 1 buy for me, it reminded me of this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1483370/The_Use_of_Life/It's a turn-based RPG with procedural generation, but you chain up attacks as long as you have stock. You can play the story mode or an arcade mode which is for score. The game does not allow you to name your character and instead provides a random list of names.
>>733739163What fucking futa game? are you in the right thread?
any racing, time trial, speedy games?
why is there so much survival horror this time around
Puzzle recommendations?
>>733737731What kind of fps? Fps isn't a monolith of a genre. I like Quake, Dusk, FEAR and Stalker for different reasons.
>>733727948Too many dykes and easy, boring enemies. The one good thing is luring enemies into shooting allies. As you said, looks decent though
>>733737731actually i think a better way of putting it is "are you trying to put your own spin on something you loved, or are you trying to remake something you loved?"if it's the former i'm more interested, if it's the latter less-so
>>733740654Finally some good fucking food. This reminds me of old RPGmaker doujin games. A game that takes the turn based fantasy RPG formula and does something unique with it. The chaining attacks + Martial arts theme reminds me a bit of Hybrid Heaven

Deep Snow Delivery was pretty great for the length of the demo but I question how it'll expand into a full length game, it's pretty mechanically simplistic and the setting doesn't seem to allow for a whole lot of environmental variety to supplement that.
Is Deep Snow Delivery just Snowrunner?
>>733741560>he doesn't know https://store.steampowered.com/app/3548040/Machine_Child/
>>733741783No, it doesn't have the terrain simulation or the complex vehicle handling that the -runner series has, it's more like Death Stranding in a tank where all you have to worry about is not getting tilted enough to tip over.
SCOTT PILFTGAY EX!Remember Scott Pilgrim? Now it is as old as the retro shit it used to reference.SCoot Pilgay loved 80s stuff in the 2000s, now we are in the 2020s so Spit Pelmgrem is so RETRO, wooo, aren't you fucking excited that this fucking grim reminder of the patient zero for woke shit is BACK?!!!You kids don't know but this faggot hipster shit used to be a very big deal.It gaslight Universal into producing a very expensive movie that as many as 10 people saw in theaters because most of the fanbase for this shit was very vocal and very insignificant.Now let's look back at the cringiest shit of the 2000s.Like...VEGANS!Remember Vegans? Remember when the most cringey shit around was vegans? Scott Pilgrim Farms Members.It is funny that this cultural fad will be remembered because no one got the balls to make fun of trannies outside small schizo wojak games on Steam, looking at you Running With Scissors.What else? Starbucks and Teenager Clerk jobs. You kids wouldn't know but man Starbucks and Chain Restaurants used to have openings for young people when young people thought they would only work there for the Summer, what a long summer that was, lolololol. Not that it matters, the few chains still open will have only two employees at most when AI replaces everything.Young people will have to get their money either playing Russian Roulette on Kick or whoring themselves on OF, the future is now!But enough of that.so how is the game?Terrible."Open World" Button Masher with sooo Retro references to things that are now 40 years old, maybe even older. Back when the first game arrived it was in the style of GBA games that were still around.I am not even sure Gen Alpha has ever seen a sprite game before.Also what is funny is that this game takes place in Canada prior to migration waves so even natural Canadians might have a vague memory of the setting it's supposed to represent.
>>733742160Not reading your schizo post. It's a new game with Probertson art and Anamanaguchi music making it based by default.
Any good rpgs or fps?
>>733742160It's ok, Epstein can't touch you anymore. Game looks good tho, thanks for the rec.
oh wo steam is really not opening games, huh
>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2638080/Annihilated/Roguelite RPG where your attack options are determined by the weapons you have, but each weapon besides your basic attack can only be used a limited number of times before it breaks so you need to manage your resources carefully. You get more weapons from chests or by stealing them off of enemies mid-fight. You can even steal bosses' weapons, which in some cases dramatically changes their attack patterns (whether this is a good thing or a bad thing seems to depend on the boss).There are four different 'routes' depending on which of the heroes you choose to rescue. I've finished the demo with two of them so far (Warrior and Mage), and they felt pretty distinct both in gameplay and in the story/dialogue bits between bossfights. My only real complaint is that the English translation is very rough, but the combat is fun enough that I don't really mind.

>>733737697Looks like a game where you accidentally fall and spend 30 minutes getting back to where you were.Also that pixel filter is yuck. The art style is like 80% of the way to kino but falls that 20% short and looks kinda ugly as a result.

Romestead, it's a as a 2d (the models are actually 3d though) village building minecraftesque game set in rome that has 8 player coop, there's a bunch of undead the gods have lost most of their power and you now have to rebuild rome and restore the gods, the story setup is weird, the gameplay is decent thoughyou start out playing a 2d survival slop game, building picks and axes to get resources to eventually build a crafting bench, which is where the game becomes a city builder, quickly after getting the crafting bench you'll start crafting houses, which in turn let you build specialized buildings that gather resources or craft advanced items for you, to power these though you need to go recruit villagers, which is the games biggest weaknessvillagers are scattered across your randomly generated world, maybe I just got fucked over by rng but villagers felt so rare that it almost made the game not worth playing, you eventually get to a point where you need villagers to continue which depending on your world size and luck may just lead you to wandering around pointlessly for an hour hoping you find them, combat is decent enough it's just left click to attack or shoot, hold to do a charge attack, you have a dash as well for dodging, enemies felt a bit fast but I'm also an old and slow boomer, overall nothing was too difficultAnyway I primarily played it because I have rome autism but it had very little to do with rome outside vague themeing (I get that the roman gods are in these games but you could have called them greek or norse gods and they would fill the same role)tldr; 6/10, if it was rebalanced a bit and the building options were more extensive (let me rotate houses) I could see this becoming an 8/10
CLUSSY
>>733744665>>733744829Every game is an RPG because you're either playing a role or it has stats.
>>733736864Unironically threads like this are the perfect place to actually filter games and find fun things if more anons would actually post extensive reviews about stuff they like rather than just quick shitposts, this board is too fried for that at this point though

Mightreya, am i missing something? i've had multiple people tell me to try this demo out, and I like the concept but it feels floaty and unresponsive.
>>733745220it's just jingling keys and flashing lights for the ADHD crowd same as most every platinum and Mihoyo game
>>733744571The movie is carried by the FX team much like how the Ubisoft game was carried by the music, but the new game is terrible in that it is not a property that holds up over time, the characters suck for the most part, and it got to be the weakest Beat Em Up if you fancy a retro game.It is weird to describe, because not only it aged poorly, most of its fans are balding and in their 40s, single moms or killed themselves. It is odd in the sense that the initial game from 20 years back was hipster retro, and now Scott Pilgrim is old but not significant because it was shit for the most part.It is a part of the 2000s that deserves to be buried in piss.No offense if you like it but the memory of /co/ story times and watching the movie with /tv/ when it was new is still fresh. So my reaction is not "Oh wow, I remember this" but "Oh, that thing". Like why would you bring this up? If anything Scott Pilgrim and its consequences provided disastrous to the western civilization>Oh multiculturalism and gay people are sooo cooolCue to...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAyLrRZf1-I&list=RDcAyLrRZf1-I&start_radio=1

>>733745220It's neat, but the demo especially wastes a lot of time on fodder enemies that offer no resistance. If the actual game has a stronger focus on boss fights it could be alright.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3877560/Crack_In_The_Dark_Demo/Crack spelunking has never been this engaging. I was worried it would be visually tiring staring at black but especially once you have the whip the view range is good.Map drawing is totally up to the player, I did the first cave drawing every wall. By the last one in the demo it was Hiroglyphic landmarks but it makes perfect sense to me to look at. I've always had strong mental mapping of 3d spaces so doing more in depth map making felt unnecessary at least with how relatively simple the demo caves were.Max res was 1080p and ingame fps limiter had to be reapplied every level load but those are easy fixes.Definitely interested if the dev can manage to extrapolate this into an entire crack crawling experience that is longer than a couple hours.
>>733745643>Crack in the Dark

Technically not part of the Fest, but I found it through another game that was part of the Fest and it's awesome so posting it here anyways.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3349980/BrebeMan/Really fun and weird Japanese railshooter/scoot n shoot. The last level in the demo, the "hard" stage, is a blast and where frequent bomb usage and defensive use of the discs really come into play.
Withering Realms was already on my Wishlist but it surpassed all my expectations. First demo where I was actually jumpscared by the ending because of how much I wanted to continue playing. This one's a day 1 for sure. Another big win for the big man and little girl game enjoyers.
>>733736195Any horror good game demos? Preferably with tank controls and fixed cameras

>>733736649blame streamer culture that want to have some garbage to put on for their dullard audience to entertain them for a singular day or milk for eternity as a cheap "collab content" fillerthe quality of the games in the genre does not correlate in a sane way to how much money to rake in once a single e-celeb gets their cancerous fans hooked on it.there's nothing wrong with the idea of party games you'd play with friends, but it's obvious that it's just become a quick way to cash out. the effort:pay ratio is way out of wack.
Annihilated is pretty fun.
>>733747346It's just you.
>>733747346there are a bunch of good games, but you need to rely on the threads here, because the steam page will feed you nothing but shite.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3065030/The_Caribou_Trail/ Thought this would be an action game but it's a walking sim. WWI setting. Not terribly engaging and on rails pretty much but the voice acting is good. Needed higher mouse sensitivity.
>>733747913I also want to know, I assumed it had 10.
>>733742367It looks like shit compared to the first game, though.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3936730/STARDUST_Wish_of_Witch/Cute looking strategy RPG. Considering this is Korean I kinda expected the same level of autism as Troubleshooter but it's pretty simple so far.
>>733736634You do get food drops from some enemies, but it's just a generic 'meat' item across all of them. It honestly has a super shallow and basic cooking system for a game obviously inspired by Dungeon Meshi. From what I saw you either cook stuff over a spit or in a stew, no preparing it or anything, and it isn't even necessary to do in the first place because drinking water (which is sourced from infinite springs scattered around) is enough to counter the hunger debuff completely.From how the devs made it sound they aren't very proud of the demo because they want the full game to be a much more open ended dungeon crawler too, but progression in what they cobbled together is very linear. Took me and two friends less than an hour to finish it and we were fucking around a bit too.
Best booba games?
What is the code to change tit size in panic floor?
>>733746725I hate how Inkonbini looks. It's crazy to me that they managed to make a conbini look even more soulless. All the fake kanji and the random japanese words as names for products make it feel like a game made by someone that has never set foot in Japan.Which is crazy because the guy that makes it is a russian that lives in japan. Maybe he just never goes outside.
>>733750175It's on the store page, I had to do it more than once but maybe it's because the game hadn't loaded properly.
>>733749512Crazy they made a SRPG that actually has some good-looking stuff, but now I'm scared for the enemy variety because there was literally one fucking enemy type in the demo.Enemy design is also important in games, and I feel some devs forget that.
>>733750309Up, left, down, right, correct?Or am I misreading the store page.
>>733750412yes, that's right
>>733750453Oooh, it only works with wasd, not arrow keys, even though the arrow keys work in the game
>>733747913>>73374929840 I think.
>>733750405yea, the visual is top notch, but it's way too simple for now. Hopefully there'll be some depth in the full game, more enemies, and maybe some customization
>>733750493so that's why I had to do it more than once lole
Only tried a few so far>Nebula VeilContender for my favorite one so far, tied with the next one. Has you exploring around a fucked up bit of space in a small shitty ship. I'm a sucker for games that let you fuck around with lots of buttons and knobs and this has that. Gameplay isn't at all similar to Iron Lung, because I know that's gonna be some people's first association>Deep Snow DeliveryDeliver goods with an elephant tank in a snowy world, pretty kino if you don't mind slow games like this, which I don't.>CicadamataNot my thing, too visually noisy>Hovercrafts x NihilismSimilarly visually noisy, albeit much less so, but also less interesting to play. You fly a boat around and shoot things.>InsanioLooks pretty, sure wish I had a clue what the fuck was going on though>CD-ROMSomewhat esoteric puzzle game, puzzles jump from absolutely trivial to "I would never complete this". If you're the sort of person that likes ARGs then you might like this, not to say that it is an ARG but it requires some similar leaps in logic, personally it filtered me.>AESOSSome kind of engineering game, but it was kinda clunky and had furries so I bounced off pretty quick, there's a lot of other options in that market
>>733750902>>Deep Snow DeliveryThis is literally just Girls Last Tour lmao
>>733751184Not nearly as depressing because there are more than two people
I've wishlisted more games today than I have in the past 5 years, granted most of that was because of you guys helping, but still. I should visit these threads more often instead of jerking off.
>>733738328>Disco Elysium but make it Sunless Seasurprisingly neat

>>733751239>>733751184There should be a later level that just completely desolate
>>733737938I don't know how you guys manage to fuck your tanks up so much, I'm 3 hours in and have only died by falling through the ice a couple of times, but never actually got my tank beaten up by rolling it or anything.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4352260/Forehead_Chip_Demo/I'm shilling because I know the dev. Fucking sue me.Forehead Chip is a 80's sci-fi Run n Gun where you get to run around the city shooting forehead chips onto the useless wastes that haven't got their damned chip yet. Tons of physics interactables. Physics based bullets you have to pick up and manage your shots. Extremely simple controls, neat spritework.He sucks at marketing. So i'm shilling it for him. Give it a shot.It's a dead simple run & gun with a good gimmick.If anything, play it for the 4-player PVP with stage gimmicks and drop-in 2-Player Co-op.
Combat Kart, cute but it feels like I'm driving with no tyres. There are not a lot of items, it's a cheap Mario kart clone. Also the random untranslated Chinese is scary.
>>733752298Yeah it feels like some chinese asset flip mobage. The girls are cute but there's zero cohesion in the designs so it just feels strange.
I'm about to try this one. But dunno it looks very janky.
>>733751959I've never died so far, because I fear the ice, but the first time it got dark I thought I had a clear line to my goal so I just kept going and crashed so hard it fucked up all my components. And then I had to slowly drag my ass to the base at 1mph
nothing looks good this next fest, just the same janky roguelike JRPG friendslop fishing platformer shitnothing original, nothing polishedI guess I'll be the first to post a good demo https://store.steampowered.com/app/4062610/DEG_Demo/

>DUSK dungeon crawler>vampire survivors dungeon crawlerhmmm suspicious
This one was pretty good for a coomer game.

>>733752079This is one of the first I downloaded, just haven't gotten around to playing it yet.>>733754152They want to kill blobbers. Notice how all these dungeon crawlers are only one dude, coincidence?
I'm fairly sure this demo was released a week or two ago, but hey it says Next Fest on top of it so it counts.The visuals are pretty and the attack animations are cool, but the combat feels very basic in the demo (being unable to directly control half of my party sucks).Never played the other MHS games but riding and flying around with a Rathalos was neat. And this girl is very cute too.
played the last salvage squad, its cute, and I like how it feels, but something about it just isnt for me. Enemy design is also good, but personally I like more than just robots. So its more of a me issue with the game than anything. I think someone more normal would absolutely love the game though.

>>733755090You will go from hallway to kill arena to hallway and you will like it.
>>733755637I love consooming (buying) games. I recently bought the new Ghosts n Goblins for under 3 bucks and haven't even beaten the first level yet.
>>733756006I bought Total War Attila for the LOTR mod and I've launched it exactly once
>>733756006i tried at least to play the games but it gets really hard with shit getting launched all the time, for example, i brought chain echoes and have been installed on my deck for 3 months now and haven’t played because I decide to play rune factory azuma first, then ff9, then Digimon time strange, etc.I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING TIME AAAAAA
>>733755346Wait, people aren't liking Luna Abyss? I'll admit it wasn't winning me over but the final boss on the max difficulty was legit fun and makes me wonder if this is a game that just has a weak opening.

Despite loving Disco Elysium, I didn't like Zero Parades at all. It looked like DE, and on a surface level the writing sounded like it, but it felt like it was trying to draw out every single descriptor and ability check with too much flowery description. Plus the new character is boring compared to my boy Harry.
>>733751959>>733756703How good is the sound design or music? That's what really sells these games for me.
>>733736195"vampire crawlers" was surprisingly engaging. the demo might be a little bit easy and too small, but the game for sure ramps up when its full.
Not gonna mass reply, but been out of the country for weeks so thanks for all the recs. Time to Next Fest
>>733740775Tried a few puzzle games this next fest. Dead Watch https://store.steampowered.com/app/3464670/Dead_Watch/More of a mystery game than straight puzzler but you have to take notes and figure shit out. Even funnier game if you happen to be a danganronpa fan and luck out during one puzzle. Cat Squeezehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3739300/Cat_Squeeze/Cute sokoban game where you have to create narrow spaces at the ends of tubes by surrounding the exit with crates or walls, so your cat can squeeze into them and blast through to progress. Pretty weird at first but fun once you get it. Senpai Cramhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4109040/FamCram/Another cute sokoban game. This time around you play as a daddy trying to put his daughters to sleep or orient them towards objectives while avoiding obstacles. They love their daddies so no matter they are, move exactly like you do. Charming presentation and aesthetic, easy for the most part but the last level was a BITCH to 3 stars. Excited for more difficulty spikes.Goob gfhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4210630/Goob_Wants_an_Android_Girlfriend/Video Editorhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4178210/Video_Editor/Very unique in its presentation, reminded me of It's a Wrap!You are an up and coming e-celeb who has to complete levels by recording yourself playing them in a video editor type of interface. You can record your movements and drag the footage around to have better timing, have "hidden" editors press buttons at the right timing to make spikes and obstacles disappear as you go through them. Just play it, it'll likely make more sense than my explanation.For games from previous next fests, I can recommend Grooveyard, MotionRec, Ooo, Is This Seat Taken? https://store.steampowered.com/app/3107360/Grooveyard/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2602230/MotionRec/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/oo/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3035120/Is_This_Seat_Taken/
>>733746067What's the obvious solution for room 27?? I tried jumping above the spiky pillar but no matter the timing it didn't work on my machine. Trust me I tried it a lot of times
>>733756846>Sound designTop notch if you love hearing nothing but the sound of your tank and the wind, really nailed that DS vibe of having a job that mainly involves being all alone.>MusicThe tracks included with the (unlockable, gotta go to a specific town) radio are nothing special, lots of ambience, some fun beats here and there. I dropped in my own music after skipping through a chunk of them.Pro tip: don't upgrade the speakers or get the headphones, the distortion from trying to turn it up is peak.
>>733747952You might enjoy MUPO if you liked Type The Rhythm, similar premise. Much more difficult because you don't type words though, each key on the keyboard is a potential button press. First time I'm being filtered by a rhythm game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4146650/MUPO/
>>733757884Wall jump off the right wall after pressing the switch. Time it right and you should be able to fly right over to the bomb.
>>733758031I am fucking retarded so fucking retarded
>>733758096Don't sweat it bro I got plenty of deaths there too
>>733758158Not the first time that I have trouble in a section and have to bruteforce a stupid solution. Like ten years ago I first played super metroid on the Wii U virtual console and didn't know it had a run button, my only experience with metroid games up to that point were zero mission and AM2R. So instead of running over the crumbling bridge in the starting area, I cleared the path after doing short hops in quick succession. It took me hours to get the timing down but eventually succeeded. Even recently there was an area in silksong where I spent an ungodly amount of time manipulating the AI of some enemy to reach an area, without realizing that there was an obvious easier method by activating some mechanism.
>>733758357if it makes you feel better, Team Cherry definitely intended for people to do weird skips off enemy exploits
>>733757884Even just watching this game makes me hold my breath an uncomfortable amount. Will never play it but I respect the work

>>733746363I finally got to try this demo today and I have to be honest: I strongly believe it needs way more time in the oven. Weakest demo I've played so far (granted I've done a lot of heavy filtering in the titles I picked). Which makes me feel weird because I've only seen /v/ anons post positively about it til now
>>733760369Just tried to boot the game and didn't encounter any issue. Might be something worth reporting on their steam forums or their trooncord server if they have one. I did that for MUPO and they fixed the bug like 12 hours laterhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2472090/Xenogen/

>>733754792It's just a shame that the pure tactical/combat aspect of the gameplay is really underwhelming. This is legit my only complaint about monster hunter stories. I don't know how it goes for the other games in the series but going from the demo of 3, even vanilla pokemon battles are more engaging somehow to me, without including romhacks and whatnot. It's a shame because everything else is on point and dreamlike for monster collectors, doubly so if you've played MH games before.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3804370/The_Piper_of_Dawn/From the same devs as Yog-Sothoth's Yard except this one actually has a passable translation instead of MTL garbage.It's basically a visual novel with a farming side game to it. The farming is kind of tedious but I was starting to unlock automation after three hours. The demo is really long, I still didn't finish it after that point.Anyway the good aspects is that it's a mystery / lovecraftian horror story about figuring out what's going on in your city while posing as an alchemist. There are lots of characters and the art and music are great.

I saw a next fest game but forgot to save it to my list and now I can't find it. It was kind of a breakout like, where you could bounce off the walls and ceilings in the rooms and break tiles to get powers and effects and progress. The "levels" were almost top down zelda like I wanna say but maybe not really. The game's in 3d and there's no 'theme' - like you don't play as a human or anything iirc, you're just a block breaker shape thing.Abstract/simple aesthetic. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>733764808If I feel like I've seen everything and I'm not impressed, I'm out, don't need to hold out hope.
airframe ultra is really fucking fun. my only complaint is that the sound design is pretty weaksauce.wonder what the full game will feature in terms of modes.
>>733764808With the amount of Nextfest demos I gather up, I tend to go through the controls and the first bit of "core gameplay" I guess would be the word before deciding. Maybe a couple minutes tops unless it really pulls me in.

I'd be happy if you went and tried my game, /v/.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3131340/Lelu/If you enjoy top down action games like classic Zelda, please let me know your thoughts and what I can improve to make Lelu a better game.Especially:>difficulty of the puzzles>difficulty of the combat>readability of objects you can interact with compared to the environment>navigation problems, if any>level structureI'd appreciate it, so thank you.(This is your cue to call me a nigger and tell me to buy an ad.)
>>733754792>>733760732MHS1 and 2 combat is even worse unfortunately. I still plan to play MHS3 for the looks, atmosphere and monster collecting.
>>733765073This right here is everything wrong with the game. Don't email YouTuber, be the YouTuber. Everything outside of the game is more important than what's in it.
>>733765073The actual problem is you're a redditor
God, Ardenfall is so fucking boring. I appreciate the attempt at making a first-person fantasy rpg since we won't have another TES for like 2-4 years but everything about it is so unexciting.
>>733764808The amount of red flags I see decides how fast I quit. Even something as simple as a low effort title screen registers as a red flag.On the other hand, if a game shows so much promise that I know it'll be good day one, then I'll quit early just so I can enjoy it properly once the finished product is out.
quit and uninstalled the furry starfox clone half way through the first level. everything about it was awful the voice acting, controls, flying, enemy design jesus christ what a terrible experience.
>>733765073>Has another TBA game under his nameBro, get your priorities in order
>>733764808sometimes one minute is enough
>>733764808My brother finds it funny that I immediately quit after moving around a bit in a demo. You can just tell it's gonna be shit from how it controls.
>>733765861Weird how devs can't even get basic movement correctly. Do they even like playing their own game?
>>733765496>The furry starfoxMight as well say wet water.
>>733764832Better than the standard run, jump and shoot through whatever canned marketing description. On that note i want to strangle every indie dev that puts the same UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS, CHOOSE YOUR ABILITIES, DOMINATE YOUR ENEMIES in their fucking trailer.

>>733764808I'm a rogueliteslop enjoyer, so I usually throw in a single run to get a feel on whether the core loop is engaging enough, even if I hate it early/midway. I might do multiple runs if I feel like I haven't seen the full extent of item synergies/interactions (Everything is a Crab is a good example, I got a decent amount of variety [hit and run phys build, ability maxxing poison build, tanky pacifist build] in spite of the low-item pool size due to it only being a demo).>Gambonanza>Raccoin>the VS crawler (haven't touched it yet)>Everything is a CrabAre there any other noteable roguelites that I'm missing?
>>733766024It is? I can't see it on Steam page?Ah yeah, its hidden but it is. I was checking demo page before.In case of Menace its pure grift, diverse characters but they are all chud coded. So its literally what kraut agency asked but not exactly.
>>733766089>I dropped souls games for this reasonSame. A lot of what people say about DS should appeal to me but I couldn't stand the way the game controls.

>>733765073Honest reviewIt's fun, I didn't play on hero mode but I died maybe 3 times to spikes and never saved so only ever got reset to the start of the room.The sword charge is a bit annoying, and the "drag the boxes" puzzles as well, but it's in fact a decent game that I think people would enjoy.

The Siren's Well 2 demo crashed while I tried to play it, but I played all the previous games in the trilogy and I know he can make a working game so it's not a huge deal. The foxgirls were much hotter in the game as opposed to the trailer, because they can show nudity in the game. You don't play as them though so maybe they show up as a villain, or something?

>>733747346there's like 500 more games than previous festchances are the amount of good demos didn't go up
>>733756813I think the big issue is that in Disco Elysium, the flowery descriptions and even goofy lines make sense in the context that Harry is man that had a long life with several different interests and experiences, hence all the different skills he has and how he developed them over the years. Hershel, the spy lady in Zero Parades, is way younger than Harry, is a Spy, so she shouldn't be upfront about what she's doing in the same way Harry could just barge any conversation asking about the murder and the overall tone of said character doesn't fit the more "out there" dialogue options DE had.I can believe a has-been, old cop that has been a Disco fan, a gym teacher, a top notch investigator, now sad drunk would sometimes get crazy and talk about boxers and create weird names for himself to not tell people he doesn't remember his name.I CAN'T believe a young female communist spy is that desperate and off-color during a seemingly urgent mission where her partner is left catatonic on the floor and is literally at risk of dying at any time.The tone of the stories, the characters, the way the "skills" are presented don't fit. Feels like when a franchise tries to go a different direction, but still feels tied to the things that made the original game/s popular, so doesn't commit completely.Also, the new skill dialogue is boring as hell compared to the original skills, since part of the cool thing about the original skills was that they also represented different aspects of Harry's personality and political leans, but here it's just Eh. I understand that maybe part of the story would be about Hershel's conflicting alleigeances to her communist country and how they handled her "freezing", but the skills and inner dialogue don't really gel.Not even mentioning that making the main character so attached to the local affairs, like being connected directly to major characters through her backstory, also limits the roleplaying possibilities.

>>733765496anything furfaggotry is shit without question
This game ony looked cute. I wishlisted it during the press preview, but playing it for a few minutes and it felt wrong. No controller inputs was already a red flag, but the game speed is too slow and the overall design reminds me of mobile games.

>>733760225If there's one thing I've noticed using this script is that most games posted in these threads often have great and appealing capsule art, with only a few low effort/AI slop within.

Video games are fucking horrible now.There's a single game that looks only moderately appealing but it's a 4 player co-op shooter. So unlikely to get a purchase, since I've already got Deep rock and L4D.
I like the way Dimiurgos looks and sounds but I'm probably way too dumb for this shit and tutorial doesn't explain shit, only sets up goals.So I just casted some spells and stared at my village before the time ran out and I failed.

>>733773301Didn't feel all that sudden, gameplay-wise 3-4 hours in a tutorial area of sorts feels about right and by that point I'd pretty much figured out the most optimal routes between, and in terms of writing I was actually starting to get attached to the location and characters so their deliberating between leaving to potentially help other people or staying and being safe was effective and landed for me. I imagine there'll still be plenty of environmental storytelling later too

>>733756813Maybe you'd like Esoteric Ebb. Obviously trying to be Disco Elysium but with D&D. I had a pretty fun time with the demo and a friend who was playing it at the same time as me had a vastly different experience in just the first 20 minutes of the game. Your tolerance will probably vary based on how much you enjoy white bread D&D stuff.
>>733737938So far my only issue with the game is that it has that janky physics issue for cargo unless you roof your cargo. Like it doesn't play nice with some big crates even when it looks like it should fit perfectly fine and you get that source engine clanking sound when shit's clipping (not sure if the game is in source tho, probably unity or something). Not that big of a deal but can be annoying when you just go forward a bit and medical supplies gets tossed a mile away somehow.
There is realistically no way I'm getting through all the ones I want with only 3 hours a day to play
>>733745220I was disappointed by the lack of panty shots, I know it seems petty but there are so many games like this, so without that I will probably skip full release. Hope dev takes feedback.
>>733774017That's what it felt it was, alright. A gameplay gimmick to get attached rather than a fleshed out feature. Looking at the trailer, it looks less like a delivery game and more of a solitary expedition, Deserts of Kharak style.
>>733774332Shit like this is why I participated in the press preview next fest, the regular event is not long enough for me to play as many games as I'd like to.
>>733774651I did participate and still feel swamped.I'm downloading everything and I guess I just won't bother with anything that disables its demo, although I've been noticing that less and less as the fests go on, I guess devs know how competitive it is now.
>>733773165stop steamies
>>733774613The trailer also has them building bridges Death Stranding style, so they'll probably introduce new zones to flesh out and develop, and it's not an impossibility you won't eventually return to your home valley later on, maybe with the ability to actually properly develop it with infrastructure
>>7337743323 hours a day is already too much time to spend on videogames. i'll just play 1-2 demos a day

>"I have no idea what I'm doing" - me, a genius
>>733763056>>733763380Are you the dev? Really like the game game idea and style.Small thing that tripped me up: If you miss the sleep prompt by the bed on the first day (it's not visible when standing on the bed itself and easy to mistake for the friend goblin textbox when rushing by him) it becomes pretty confusing what to do because the jp dialogue from the friend makes it sound like you should talk to the elder goblin now, which of course does nothing. The English script is very explicit that you should do that tomorrow.Also out of interest, which version is the original language and which the translation?
>Was about to download this to give it a shot>Sixty fucking gigabytesFive is already pushing it, why are devs still making demos that are the size of full games?I'm not even going to bother to see if it's mediocre
>>733771890Yes, I'll play games with pretty girls.Now show me which games you'll play.
>>733772092No it isn't. Their game was .45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND.
>>733758685Thought that was a dude until I took a closer look at her chest.Judging from just the trailers, that flashing text whenever you kill something looks like it'd get annoying pretty quickly. Having cussing on your screen every couple seconds sounds like an idea from an edgy teen
>>733775401I am. Thanks!Yeah I've been wanting to make it so that the sleeping dialogue also appears when you're on the bed. Will also add make the Japanese dialogue a bit more explicit.The original language is English. I had a friend translate it to Japanese, though it's a pain to ask him every time I change something minor so in some cases I change the Japanese a bit when the game itself has changed and it becomes inaccurate. Or when I add new minor hidden items.

>>733756813That's because Zero Parades was made by the people who stole the Disco Elysium IP, not by the creators of Disco Elysium
>>733776323Nigga what are you doing we're not at the bump limit yet
>>733776426Sorry Anon I REALLY needed the thread to be made by me you don't understand how important it makes me feel I couldn't risk someone else making it
>>733775846Cool, good to know. I guess the torch text then is out of date too, right? The jp text says that it gives the burn skill and that you can burn wooden objects with it, en just says it gives a burn stack.Already tried to throw it everywhere without luck
>>733776426makes things easier
>>733776858Oh shit yeah I forgot to update the jp ||torch|| text. Good find.You should still be able to destroy doors with it, specifically the one in the toilet and the one in the smithy have itemsAdded a collider under the bed and checking for interactions downwards. It works but there's just too many colliders in this tiny space so it keeps switching. Who the fuck designed this room? MeI'll have to sit down and do this properly I guess. Or move friendblin outside in the evening.

>>733777454Ooops, kill me
>>733771790That's a lot of issue I have with it, yeah. Harry was a trainwreck of a person and it was fun watching different aspects of his personality poke out. New super spy girl is comparatively boring and I genuinely don't care about her verbal diarrhea of internal monologue. This is the one time where I believe the term hollow facsimile warrants using. They tried copying the "structure" of DE but the writing quality and artistry isn't there.>>733774168I'm looking forward to it. I'm just not playing the demo because supposedly the full game comes out soon and I just want to play it all in one shot.
>>733777404I mean modifying the text to be more specific is probably good enough too. If I hadn't immediately run off to the elder and a search around the toilet, I probably would have noticed the prompt quicker.>spoileraah, didn't think of that at all, nice secret. I more expected the trees to be burnable, for example the one in front of the small cave entrance
>>733777989You can cut the trees with basically any weaponGranted using a torch should probably work too, it's just that getting wood by using a torch seemed pointless because the torch already costs wood to make.
>>733760225>Whoever shilled this in an earlier thread you have my thanks this is good shitGlad it's useful>>733765012Why is the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action giving money to a video game?
>>733772354I have looked at over 14000 games through the discover queue, and one of the things that almost instantly results in an ignore is shitty capsule art.There are very few games with a horrendous capsule that are actually crafted well.
>>733769861Why is there like four different art styles going on here?
>>733779230Why do you think?
