I don't see point in playing these games. I prefer to let them release and play only those of critical acclaim that are actually worth my time.Why do some people love playing these early release titles?
not enough roguelike deck builder dice games
Why does this game seem so mean spirited?

>>733902562Hark The Ghoul was already in one next fest about 2 years ago and updated its demo a few months ago but it is great, I'm eagerly looking forward to it.
>>733909780I didn't like it 2 years ago, has it changed a lot?
Ammossum is ALMOST a good game, but the gameplay basically boils down to>did you get a good weapon? no? game over.And the only way to get a weapon is to buy one from a store, and most of the time it'll be selling shit you don't need. It's a solid idea that needs a lot more fine tuning. Also, I find it crazy that the first character is hands down the strongest. Guns >>>>> bows/melee/etc
>>733909815It got a fairly significant graphical improvement and the new demo added more stuff. But if you didn't like the original demo you probably won't have your mind changed and may God have mercy on your soul.

>>733909870Well, what makes it silly is that you are given a starter weapon depending on the character.All of the other character's starter weapons are quite bad, except for the gun guy. Upgrade his gun once and you are set for the whole run. And the evolutions for the bullets are much stronger than the evolutions for any other ammo type, from what I can tell.
I can do the whole next fest queue all by myself, don't really need anybody else to help me with it. And I have.I'd be quite surprised if someone managed to post a good demo that I'm not already aware of.
Why hasn't anyone been shilling for Sandloop?As far as 3d platformers are concerned, isn't it one of the most standout demos?

>>733910598It played like a really mediocre Legend of Grimrock clone.
>>733910553I've never been a fan of RE. I like adventure games and I like old point & clicks. The first have a certain charm to them I admit, but even they are awkward and slow to control in ways I feel like they never needed to be. I often hear people claim it contributes to the atmosphere, but when even the King's Quest games are smoother and swifter to navigate, then something is off. Being slow and feeling weak when there are threats around is one thing, but exploring the place because you're trying to figure out where to go. Especially if you get lost or make the wrong decisions, going back and forth or in circles trying to find progress. That's fucking dreadful when the movement is like controlling a slug. And then with 4, they upped the action element significantly. But the movement was still restricted, as if you had a ball&chain ankle weight stuck to your foot. Not a pleasant combination. Also. I don't get the appeal of games trying to induce panic. How did the "horror genre" grow so fucking popular? Maybe I am indeed some little bitch or something. But seeing intense tragedy or panic on-screen, even ignoring reflexive jump-scares, is not something I'd categorise as entertainment. But I guess Resident Evil, even so, has become one of the most recognizable and lauded games of the medium. So I'm the odd one out I guess.
Tried Undertaker, Arms of God and Cargo Hunters. I like cargo hunters cause you can chop up other robots and attach their limbs to you. Also tried that janky ass serbian shooter (A.A.U?) but the gunplay is dogshit. Tried Windrose too but it feels like a mobile title.
>>733910384Is the mimic one not too constrained? Feels like its a minigame for a much bigger game
>>733910727The acrobatic movement works pretty well with a jester player-character. And the shit-eating grin on the mask is kind of fun as you tear through enemies. I didn't know they were making a sequel. But that's awesome to see. I liked the first game.

>Heavy Metal Death CanPlayed with tank controls. I went in a little wary and was pleasantly surprised, got a good jump out of me at the expected spots, and the key hunting wasn't too bad if you're like me and sweep every room. Didn't wishlist though.Ultra-0I was having a tough time really seeing what was on the screen at some points, and it didn't help how fast you move, but that's a small complaint for what was a short and sweet demo that seems promising. Wishlisted.>KisaragiPure Unity Kusoge Kino.WASD, space bar, left click, game resolution: fit the screen. Then you go out and kill, do you really need more? He also left in the whole map but you have to walk along a set path to get enemies to spawn so it's just an empty world with no music.Easy $3, but will probably end up way too expensive.
>>733911339I thought it felt awful to actually play. Too much chatter. Clunky movement and combat. They gave him the Alucard backstep and slapped parry frames on it, but without any of the smoothness of Castlevania. Was overall not a fan.Solataria was another metroidvania that I tried, which is very clearly Ori and the Silksong Forest, Fire People Edition. It felt a little better to play than Fallen Tear, but still had a little bit of polish needed.>>733911747>Look guys, we made Celeste with frogs!
https://files.catbox.moe/9kvvpl.webmGoing slower and even making "mistakes" gives you more points in cicadamata, compare the two videos. I don't know why the movement or railgun is there when efficiency in killing enemies fast penalizes your score, I think this is going to seriously hurt levels down the line. The timer bonus needs to be doubled and there also needs to be a "no damage" bonus at the end to compensate imo. The game is too boring if you just stop, stomp or shockwave enemies that can barely react to you. Aiming poorly on purpose actually helps you gain more points too The last level of the demo is a slog to go through because of this, the only challenge is keeping the ZONE bonus active. Good game but there's a lot that needs to be redesigned, Neon White felt much better to play both as a speedrun game and puzzle game because of the resource management. Those aspects are present in cicadamata too but much less, it's only about managing cooldowns and positioning to optimize routes
>I Won't Let You Level Up In My Goblin TownIs a silly game, toss what your warrior goblin needs and let him battle. It does feel annoying losing, specially against the mage but that feeling goes with this type of busywork games. going around in a haste or your goblin dies. I liked it. i'm curiosu what other things it could add, like more guards or a bigger town.Also checked the dev and they are making Aren Breathes which is a classic survival horror with a mech in mars, something tells me Goblin Town isn't the passion project.>Ruin Beast CityIt wasn't bad but I don't see myself playing it. I'm not a fan of this kind of combat which is a simon says. I did like Sekiro a lot but this ain't no Sekiro.>Eagle Knight ParadoxIt was fine, the demo may have been a tad short but it showed well what it has to offer, The boss fight was easy and the strong flying enemies are an absolute pain in the ass. The plot may get retarded though.>Children of BirchI didn't like it, the movement feels like you are on a permanent ice level and the shake everytime you hit an enemy is annoying to no end. I didn't finish the demo, it didn't appeal me at all.>Mecha forceIs a fps roguelike that plays a bit like Hades I think? you get your weapons, upgrades after clearing a level, which you buy with money but get as many as you want as long as you have the money. The dodge is pretty good but walking suck ass, is so slow that is useless, might ass well just stand there and it won't be that big of a difference as it should be. Best part was the girl that talked in a strange accent and called correlata.
>>733912819Heh so he's that mechdev? nice. I liked that game years ago, he hasn't posted it recently. I don't mind if it's a project to get funding, you gotta do what you gotta do. better than sitting on your ass selling cable tv to boomers or whatever.

Next Fest demos mostly get taken down when the event is over, right? Probably shouldn't have added these many....
If you like >roguelite deckbuilder's or Backpack Battles, I'd recommend keeping Evoluth on your radar, I think it's got the potential to go far but it's make or break depending on how it handles future item + enemy design, as is the case with the genre. That being said, it's kind of unintuitive if you go in treating it as a Backpack Battle-like in spite of its immediate appearance, since it's moreso mechanically a deckbuilder using the interface of an inventory management battler.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4249320/Evoluth/

For an RPG, I sort of thought I'd be able to explore a little bit on my own, but so far it's been all dialogue and combat. I don't dislike the game, just not what I expected.Not bad so far though, I like the dynamic between the two protagonists and all their animations, fully voiced (korean) dialogue is a surprise, not bad either

The way he waddles after you when idle makes it impossible to stay cynical. Devs knew exactly what they were doing. Sometimes the “it’s just a cute boy companion” bit works because they don’t overcook it with Marvel-tier quips.Glad you saw the light, anon.

Do wish there was a bit more of a time limit to make things more stressed: because you only have to see Lumi to trigger the loop, you can just avoid her room and pretty much do 80% of the puzzles in a single run even after she dies. Wishlisted.>Deep Zero DeliveryDelivering stuff to bases in your tank while driving through an arctic wasteland. Very comfy.>Spot ZeroAction combat rougelike. Probably the worst thing I played this fest. If this isn't a gacha it must've been a last minute decision to pull out because it certainly feels like one. Characters have rarities, combat's the usual 1 attack, 1 skill, ult, dodge. Equipment's the usual random stat bullshit. Actual dogshit. All the sounds are crunched for some reason, enemies have literally no reaction to attacks, there's horrible lagspikes when new mobs load in and the game drops down to 20fps on my 4070tiS when there's too many of them. There's also some weird AI chatbot in the main menu? At least they undid the censorship I guess.>Everything is CrabRoguelite where your slime thing evolves with each level up. It's cool and seeing the visual changes with every evolution scratches a certain itch for me. Wishlisted
>>733922916The level collision is unfortunately a pretty massive issue, yeah. Legit reason to tap out and honestly I may have bailed if it happened to me early in my playtime. I was lucky in that I didn't encounter it until I was fucking around and exploring after finishing the demo. Like I said, jank.I wouldn't say the mechanics really get *considerably* more involved. You don't get any new movement abilities in the desert that weren't in the prologue, but you can definitely feel the combat start ramping up. Even if IMO the combat is one of the weaker parts.There's also a decent amount of exploration and hidden/off the part shit.It's 100% not going to be to everyone's liking, but I really dug it
>>733910095I expect 10k words on each of the 4000some demos in the fest by Monday
>>733922091It's extremely boring and has a death timer.play nox mortalis instead, actual kingsfield kino.Finally tried wanderburg, don't get the hateboner. it looks great but got boring after 15 minutes.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4235230/Werewolf_The_Inner_Beast/it's bad, but you can play dress up
>>733923886thanks, yeah I wish combat was a bit more involved, but I'm glad to hear there's more of the exploration. I might give it a second try, I did like the art style (reminded me a lot of gecko gods)

You can button mash, move enemy up and follow, move them down or use heavy movesMaybe parry if you feel like itShe really doesn't have much else she can do

Alonitairehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4374040/Alonitaire_Demo/Didn't really do it for me; the game's meme felt forced in a way that I didn't like. Got too ~edgy~ too fast in that annoying cutesy way.

Not a ton of challenge, but I only played through 2 levels and wishlisted. Maybe it gets a little more complex later. I'll give the full game a go as long as it's only like $5
>>733930952Filtered, unironically
>>733902553Data Fantasy trailer looks awesomeinstalling demo now
>>733913504A lot of devs keep the demos up but if anyone retracts their demo you can shitlist them for denying you the opportunity.Only acceptable reason is if they depend on a central server that they are closing down or if the demo no longer is representative of the full game.
I need some huge anime boobs in my games, any good demos with hot girls
>>733933240Following that game's development has been the funniest shit, I don't think I've ever been so interested in a game I have no interest in playing. They didn't update the manual for the actual release from the demo. The Nazi Rocket Scientist bit was pretty hilarious. He's on reddit right now, making up more excuses about how people are conspiring against him, even though the game has actually been released after constant delays that were never his fault.
>>733933592
>>733902553>Sherman CommanderVery well made although I encountered a few bugs. Feels unfocused, it's hard to split your attention between your own tank and all the other troops. Feels like most of the game is happening on the map screen which isn't very interesting to look at. Maybe I was moving my troops too far ahead. Very cool premise though.
>>733922665Thanks for the heads up anon, that one never showed up across the hundreds of demos I browsed through.Anyway, having just finished it, the game looks great, but the gameplay is pretty shit. There's way too much combat for how simplistic and awkward it is and the second boss was a massive damage sponge that wasn't threatening in the slightest. The ranged aiming is also flat-out broken. I don't think I'd be able to stomach a full game of that.
>>733903556it's mid
>>733910269Nice look but it's a very simple collectathon, I quit after five minutes of running around with only a double jump on a pretty linear level.

>>733933669Kot games are cute but man I hope this will flop so hard
>>733935000Oh I suspect it will. He's probably failed miserably and is laying the groundwork for claiming that someone hacked his steam account to release an unfinished crappy version of his game or something because he's given up on it. turns out giving kickstarter money to a dishwasher with no game dev experience didn't work out.
>>733935350>kickstarteroh please no...>$13kFuck he already made much more than I'd wish for...
FYI!!!If anyone is looking for a Steam Deck, I just managed to score one ten mins ago (1 TB OLED)My first checkout failed with item removed from cart, but then I kept refreshing and it eventually came back in stock long enough for me to complete transaction.
>>733934901i played it for a biti was disappointed by the demo. it's just some rpgmaker slop. you can't see from the trailer but there is this misalign with the artstyle, the items you pick up are more detailed than the pixel style should permit, it looks janky.and it plays like ass on my (igpu) laptop, i'd have to go on my desktop for this and that's because it's some sort of rpgmaker slop with 10000 asset store code packages. but for something that looks like darkest dungeon and snes games i'm not really thrilled
>>733910553RE is getting utterly mogged by indiesThe fix is in, crapcom paid off gayben
>>733935687how are they still running out of stock so many years later?valve is gonna discontinue it without ever having made enough copies to stock keep it in stock, did they intend it to flop

>>733916737No, I hate it because there is a furry in a wheelchair for no reason
Anyone played Parasite Mutant?
>>733935747for the cost of (1) Resident Evil 9, I can buy a (zillion) survival horror indies that will have more fun, and less yellow paint.
I like the vibes in Three Verses, but reading through the in-game notes it feels like the demo is already half the game and the final product will be like 2 hours long with fuck all else to do
Just played "Interdimensional vending machine" I got called names and starved to death
>>733903556Shill successful. I love visualization of your choices in games. Gonna get this game for sure
Feels great knowing the deckbuilding seethers will never get to enjoy Placid Plastic Quest. they could even buy it and play it but even then they could never enjoy it. They'd sit there and seethe the whole playthrough.

what killed the hype? much less posters today
>>733938734Any other demos you enjoyed anon?
playing too many demos is overwhelming. let's create a steam fest demo disc for people with less time to play videogames. you can add 8 demos. what will you choose?
>>733939486It's easily the worst next fest so far. I play dozens of demos every time and this time after sifting through endless AI slop and trend chasing garbage I have almost nothing to talk about because very few games were good at all and I didn't find anything I really liked this time either, which is a first.
>>733939841Worse than the last few Fests, sure, but nah this completely BTFOs all the earlier Fests that were nothing but westoid slop.
everybody thinks [current fest] is the worst fest ever because people only remember the ~gems~ they found in previous fests while the pile of slop they had to sort through gets forgottenno different this time, and it won't be any different next time
>>733939841DarkhavenThe list goes on
>>733933059I can't look at those game without asking myself"how do you design a fantasy setting and its magic so that fashion make complete sense?"And no I won't be satisfied with "Magic dude, just magic!"I need a throughout and organic set of rules and laws that explain all, including not wearing helmet on top of heavy plate armor

>>733912678I hope you report it to the dev. I was looking at your second vid before reading your post and thought you were playing as a filthy casual. Nice findings. The dev probably haven't even considered alternative play styles to maximize score, all his testers are probably speed freaks
>>733941303Aww, man. The art style and theme sounds cool, but I'm not gonna get sucked into another gacha. Thanks for the link, though.
>>733941476If you like the art you might want to try out Banner of the Maid, that one's a no-frills FE clone

>>733913156I never though much about it, specially when I mostly hover the mouse and see a bit of the trailer, but gotta confess that the banner you posted would be on I would ignore most likely. I do feel it needs to set a mood, like Dool Nest and Look Outside do.
>>733917930It's very cool but I already can't pass 1-8 which it says is only 29.17% of the way. And since you have these three things on the left I assume there is a level 2 and 3 as well. Man I suck at this
>>733941303the are and designs in Banner of the Maid were so fucking good. I need to play through that one of these days.

a bit too fucking late, but I finally got around playing pic related and I want to talk about itwhat I liked>The camera work. it's really fucking refreshing to see devs use a fucking camera! there's nothing special about it or creative by any means but definitely noticeable and soulful, similar to Metal Gear in a way.>Usuzumi no Hate, is a manga that I thought it would be a great game, and this reminds me of it, also something something BLAME! too >that boss fight was unexpected desu, I like how it was handled despite the game genre not really fitting for boss fightswhat I hate>its too fucking easy, like really fucking easy. the combat felt like an after thought (but I like how bare-boons it was) and I wish the platforming was extra difficult (or at least Crash Bandicoot difficult)>god damn was it so fucking cringe, this whole "slice of life" as they called it.

So you're telling me I have to play all the 50 demos I still need to play until Monday? Fuck I will ngmi I guess
>>733948460most devs don't usually remove demo access after the fest is over; it'll just no longer be on the front page of steam (which is already true anyway because capcom paid them the big bux)

Holy shit Pro Jank Footy, finally a fun sport game since Speedball.
>>733922252News just dropped in the fairy thread that the dev regularly drops in on.
>>733947046My guess is greed - the lead devs are doing it for cash, without a real vision in mind but often manage to get decent artists on board. It's very annoying. >>733947474He's talking about game qualities in general, not a specific title, ESL-kun.
>>733949015>finishing themOh shit. He really has no clue how this works. No wonder you are so slow. It's like the time I found out my co-worker printed everything one at a time. He didn't know you could set the machine to print 50 copies at once.
>>733916737I am having fun, wishlisted
>>733948959lol this is almost 1:1 LA
>>733948994Because literally all EN dubs of anime are low budget and hire from the same incestuous pool of retardsHistorically the US media diet was already in English/domestically made, so the burger dubbing industry is underdeveloped as fuck (relative to market size) and anybody vaguely capable will beeline for Disney/WB/AAA publisher bucks and never look back. The people left playing 14 year old Japanese cartoon girls are basically the dregs of voice acting.

>>733950494Rebecca Cardenas was also a dreg of voice acting who did bit roles but then she voiced Amelia Watson. There's a lot of untapped talent in the burger dubbing space that companies do not care about discovering.

>>733951353I'm more interested in the inticreates ripoff guys making a solid game.
>>733951791Inti is great at making 7/10 games and they seem to release like 10 games a year. As long as they sell at $25 a pop they should be fine. They'll probably never release a truly great game that rakes in gorillions though.

The only demos I've ended up wishlisting have been survivorslop. I am yet to find one game that does something new, they're pretty much all "the same game you played 10-30 years ago, but worse" so I just can't bring myself to put the time and effort into them. Meanwhile survivorslop and similar quick "arcade" games are also nothing new but require minimum effort and time investment, which is about all I'm willing to put into them.
I've played a few games now lolGood fest
>>733953213vampire crawlers though
>>733952032yeah i was totally talking about this game that nobody has ever heard of rather than their extremely famous coomer seriesgood job man you are really good at reading and cognition in general
>>733953324I have all of these downloaded to play. I still don't feel like I've really done a deep dive yet...
>>733953372Yeah, that works too because it's a quick, low effort and time investment game, and the guy knows how to make a satisfying loop. Anything requiring more investment though I just don't feel like when it's all extremely derivative. I guess I enjoyed Airframe Ultra though.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4091870/Birdwatching/Game has a lot of birds! :)
>>733951353Would like it more if the loading was instantaneous, having to wait for the animation and music cue every time doesn't help the already repetitive feeling
>>733953551Don't play dumb.
>>733951791The only coomer stuff they ever did was galgun which was very successful but they've steered hard away from it due to platform guidelinestheir problems are budgets and deadlinesfrankly, they need to rehash a little more
>>733941305To be honest after playing cicadamata more, my initial assessment has evolved. Score attack is actually not that boring once you realize "aiming unoptimally" becomes its own new challenge, sort of.Maximizing the points you can obtain by reducing the HP of enemies before using the dash as a killing blow while saving as much time as possible is kinda fun. Like >>733936890 said, accepting that the game is different from its inspirations was the solution.Unintuitive and different for me but fun, still I'd much prefer if the focus was on murderous efficiency like in Neon White so to speak and I think it's normal for people to see things this way.Also, looking at the steam forum discussions and reviews of the demo from better players, I'm not the only one who felt that way at first. The dev might already be aware of this feedback without my input.
>>733945758Very sadly, no. Or atleast, not that I saw. There's a dress outfit with a high side slit, so maybe there's panties in there somewhere.
>>733947046tbf there's a lot annoying whiny faggot le dadgamers out there now that are just as shit or shittier than your average kid. pozzstation probably has a near monopoly on those types, though.
>>733953887stop *being* dumb
>>733942729You do have combat in >>733939393, plenty of space pirate. Also some racing in the belt.It's just not what you do most of the time.>>733944683>get https://store.steampowered.com/app/3656660/Deep_Space_Exploitation/ It's pretty good. 15+ hours for all cheevos, 6-8 for two playthroughs to beat the game on a better ending than your first.Thanks for the suggestion. Thought the graphic are a bit low for me.Maybe I'll be tempted if I play the demo.
>tumoR ɴecRoꜱJꜱ ꜰᴀctoR:// αmeɴPC light gun game. Remember emulating Virtua Cop 2? This is that. Decent gimmicks, cool enemies and encounters. Normal grunts up close are quite hard to hit before they get you. Could be good.
Shifting Sands sucks. It looks nice but it's just dull and grindy. Each day you depart to check out a couple tiny areas, fight a few enemies, pick up some worthless scrap (scavenging anything better has a tiny success rate), and have to return right away because you're already low on energy and grains after like four minutes. It's like the devs made sure you couldn't do anything fun. Smith's cute, tho. 2/5https://store.steampowered.com/app/3986410/Shifting_Sands/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925520/AOKAKI/AOKAKI was cool. My gameplay is not the best since I'm tired but imagine if you were playing ninja gaiden ragebound or hollow knight for the gameplay, with an added parry. Cool setting, graphics and music for what it is, potential for classic fun.I realize it's pretty funny I mentioned hollow knight because the ninja protagonist and all characters involved seem to be bugs, arachnids and whatnot.
>>733953098Playing it a little further with the shield girl and it does have some satisfying combat. Chaining blocks and counters to enemy boss patterns is fun. The main thing is I'm almost 0% interested in the city building aspect so the game still might not be for me.
>>733922252>Want to set a release date yet?Wasn't it set for release in march? Like in about 3 weeks? I remember seeing news about that a while ago.
>>733954409Only you can decide what you want to be, I'd never say that :)
>>733912678>>733954043It sounds like a game that prioritizes its inventive movement mechanics over hurrr click and shoot, I hope the dev doubles down instead of pandering to trannies.
>>733955570>>733922252>>733922357
>>733955891yeah man trannies hate movement tech and really like pew pew retard gun gamedo you hear yourself
>>733949698>>733955920Based this game is sovlkino
>>733947647Thanks for the attention, to be honest I find the "god like it" a bit of a cop out itself.My own attempt is the gamey "people do in fact have natural magic hit-point, clothes/armor increase that magic the more you like them". Still dreaming of something more organic, like outfit looking crazy because clothiers discovered a chaotic spell to see someone's perfect outfit so fitting it boost all stats.Thought, a pervert god us is still involved.
>>733955978Yes? Trannies are the ones who adore samey samey shit like boomer shooters.
>>733955891you need to go back to /tv/
>>733956217i'm sorry jeffrey epstein did this to your brain. i'd say try to fix it but it's clearly far too late; you should just kill yourself instead

what killed the hype?
>>733953213if you want something unusual try crack in the dark. And Titanium court maybe.
is it normal that the dead watch demo makes my cpu go to 82°C degrees celsius (celsius)cool game but I think my pc will be the murder victim
>>733950841I'm suggesting you get a fucking clue.
>>733956595>Flounder edge toppingNo one can tell how fresh you're if you conceal yourself from the customer.
>>733956109IIRC in one of the old star wars tabletop rpgs you had an almost kind of "shield" and you only took health damage once that was depleted. But it wasn't actually a shield but essentially your luck/ability to evade shots. So even though an enemy would roll and land a hit on you, canonically it wouldn't actually hit your character, and it just depleted your luck shield or whatever it was called. Thought it might be kinda like that, but I get seeing a god as a cop out
>>733949032Can't you private games now or w/e?
>>733957019Tough luck anon cause I don't. If you're not elaborating I'm just going to assume you said some meaningless shit as bait
>>733956371>couldn't refute itlmao
>>733952032>has no goonkino>is also by far their worst modern game to date if you're wondering why im specifying modern, it's because they've made licensed slop in the past that's probably terriblecurious.
>>733957006that's just the bitcoin miner running in the background don't worry about it
>>733943271game breaks in half if you put even a modicum of thought into it.
>>733957050Schrodinger's fresh sushi
STINKY CHUBBY DROW FEET
>>733957092So long as it is quantifiable, I don't mind the "shield" being portrayed as being "fated to evade death" for a time. With inevitable weakness so you just can't ignore a blade slicing your neck.To be fair, my "the more you like it" is a cope out I shouldn't accept. A proper setting should have a clusterfuck of rules like "liking it or not, what's really important is having gems, or magic fabric, in certain proportion, compatible with your soul, and if you position them wrong it has critical weakness to cringe, and some women just can't cover their boobs or it gimp their magical field"Fuck midi-chlorians tho.
Hero's Party was Annihilated is rough around the edges when it comes to the menus, they're kinda buggy, but I'm liking it so far. Hero a cute, and I like how the face icon changes based on the character's HP.Can't speak about the English translation though.

>>733902345It's all slop, it's all fucking slop. And it gets worse each next fest. You can't tell me that 90% of these ain't undisclosed AI vibe coded pieces of garbage. Where are all these amateur game devs coming from, shitting out "it barely functions" games? They MUST be fucking AI coded and undisclosed.

>>733958823Why does this look exactly like Disco Elysium, complete with dice tower last and Ki? in the background? (I know it's the same devs)
Just played 'BOMBUN'Was kinda a fun lil 3d platformer. Might pick it up later.Tried 'Weathering realms'. Fun concept but the controls were stiffer than my dick last time your mom came over. Difficult to get used to but there could be something there.Did a run of 'Interdimensional vending machine'. I just staved to death and nothing interesting happened other than i made a girl eat centipedes and leeches.'Super beast world' was fun. A slightly bullshit precision rage platformer though.
>>733957461o-okay
>>733959197Because they're copying the style of it obviously. They don't really hide that.
>>733958429is there a way into the attic or basement.
I played a bunch of local co-op games with my bro and I regret it.>BoblsThis one is good, is a co-op, is a presicion puzzle platformer where you help each other with by shooting bubbles and dealing with the mechanics, it was fun, the music was good and had that DOS game feel to it too. I recomend it.>Alien Strike: Blasting the IntrudersA contra except it feels and plays as a stale cracker. visualy boring, gameplay didn't add anything new and was sub-par compared to even the original Contra.>Nullpoint ProtocolSo yeah a roguelike with space furries, a long as fuck which thankfully is skipable and a long tutorial. The game works like shit, doesn't preload anything so is always skipping and feels strange and thankfully it crashed before we could even play it.Living Dead HouseThis was is a nice little game, a bit like Bubble Bobble and snowbros but with zombies and getting items to kill them, barricade the windows and using the enviroment so you don't get overwhelmed, not much to say but is fun at least.>Cursed BloodThis one was promising with ninja monkeys and shit but instead is a confusing lagging mess in which slashing an enemy makes blood splatter everywhere and confuse you. maybe w should have changed the quality. In any case, is a visually confusing roguelike in which taking a 100 coin cursed me and made corpses become tesla coils and it sucked balls.

>>733921824>>733925301Fun demo. I only played the gauntlet mode. I like how easy it was to go from low to max hp and how I didn't have arbitarily unparryable red attacks, but even just did got repetitive with how much I was spamming the same loop of 3 hit launcher downer spell. Not sure the two spell slots really adds much to the game too. Just makes the small moveset even more apparent.
Tried Cargo hunters. I enjoyed it considering I suck at shooters. It has nice babby friendly shit like having oi mt it's noisy in dat direction lights, The AI does do sensible shit like duck for cover and flank around. I didn't get a proper taste of the loop though because for some reason they don't have the vendor available so I can't flog this primo junk I picked up and turn it into firepower. Also you're going to need a checklist of parts worth salvaging because the game's not going to tell you at a glance if that's a nice arm or not.

>>733960536What game is this? I played some other coin machine game but I don't think it was this one
>>733959784Honestly don't know, it's strange you couldn't go up the attic. I couldn't find the key to the basement. I collected the 20 papers and quit, I have more demos to play. The writing and VA work was good enough for me to wishlist it
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2736370/Helix_Descent_N_Ascent/How have I not heard anything about this game? Plays like 2D Zelda without combat and is super stylish. Maybe a bit cryptic, but I feel that works quite well for this game.
>>733959857that's the second stock photo joke I've seen during this fest
>>733960709Raccoin, the pixelation filter is quite annoying but they let you set the severity of it (even disabling it entirely) if you wish
>>733960767I thought it was too slow. The presentation doesn't justify walking around real slow without any gameplay to speak of. Granted I did a few puzzles.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1837770/Ardenfall_Demo/Pretty cool sandbox first person RPG.The magic schools (Alteration, Conjuration, Psychic and Elemental) and items, the setting and the "solve your problems with magic" world/dungeon design are clearly inspired by Morrowind, but the rest of the gameplay is closer to modern games.Combat gameplay uses the standard "light attack, heavy attack, block, parry, dodge" pack but you still need to level up your weapon/armor skills of choice to avoid combat penalties.Your character have 5 attributes, 15 skills (you can "tag" 3 of them, like old Fallout games) and 2 traits (your character's background, like "mercenary" or "aristocrat"). Your race (3 of them) and your tagged skills will affect your starting skill levels, and you will gain more skill points as you level up. Attributes, skills and traits are also used for skill checks (dialogues, lockpicking/pickpocketing, interacting with objects in the world).The demo has two dungeons, one town, one main quest and one sidequest. You can beat it in an hour or so if you don't rush it.
>>733957324it is not possible to refute what you think about an imaginary person in your headseriously though, chow down on a bullet or two
>>733960926true, walking was a bit slow at first, but it does give you a dash after a few puzzles. And I felt there were enough puzzles to keep me going.

>>733960786Thanks
>>733961469not ragging on you for it, just throwing my 2 cents in as someone who does actually play these games.
>>733906283honestly this pic alone has me wanting to buy it cause the number one thing these princess raising games fail at is evil routes. i played stuff like pm2 and volcano princess and no matter how much darkness your girl has, she's nice all the way until the end when it cuts to "oh yeah she became evil" in one short ending scene lmao. magical princess is literally the only one i've seen where making your princess evil actually has her acting bitchy during your run
>>733961571Letting trannies assume ownership of the white/blue/pink combo was a huge mistake. I'm so glad we didn't let faggots steal the rainbow.
>>733961490i am not talking about boomer shooters; you brought them up as a non-sequiturtrannies fucking love movement tech. if that means that you now can't enjoy it, that's a problem with your brain may only be fixable with acute lead poisoning
>>733958576ohhhh everything is crab is relatively successful; that's why nobody here wants to try it
>>733959197I'm fine with two cakes

>>733955485It felt a bit stiff both in movement, input and scrolling. The combat is too easy but the platforming is decent. The enemies are pretty boring. I like the direction though and the spite work is good.
>>733902345>Why did the hype die?You faggots started two weeks early with the journo links like always. That's why. Might as well make this a general.
>>733960972The sword hero dev has a collab with them during this fest, you can find two sword hero related items which will carry on into the full gameI have no fucking clue what that would be though. I thought Ardenfall felt a tad stiff like, you're emulating a 22 year old game, you are allowed to improve on the game feel a bit. The characters look hideous but the writing seems decent.

Start with a few dice for each encounter, roll them, and slot them into "quests" to see if you succeed and how well. Unclear why I kept failing some quests - e.g. I would slot in a die higher than the # it said it wanted for combat and would occasionally just fail it and take full damage and get no XP. Text is also really fucking small for some reason. Don't think I'll be playing the full game after beating 2 acts to end the demo.
