It's that time of the year, where we download an irresponsible amount of demosExplore upcoming releases, discuss/rate what you try, wishlist the games you like, give some recommendations, and most importantly: Have fun.https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfestPrevious Thread: >>733902345
Playing RE9 made me want some horror again.We got any? Preferrbly with fixed camera anglez.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3992510/RIG_Riot_Demo/ Armoured core but it's sort of a rogue-lite. The way it lets you opt in to extracting sort of makes it feel like an extraction game, there's even an option to lose your shit when you die (you can't change it though for some reason so I didn't enable it). Feels like there's too little breathing room between encounters, enemies just constantly spawn aggro'd to you so you can't really pause for a moment, so pacing's a bit weird. It's okay I guess, I'll try and sink my teeth a bit more into it later. Might be worth a try if you like mecha games
For anyone struggling to get diamond ranks in the cicadamata demo, do not treat it like it's 100% Neon White or Ultrakill and you'll have a better time with it. Changing your focus from speedrunning efficiency to score attack makes a big differencehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3817250/CICADAMATA/https://files.catbox.moe/da4ex2.webm
>>733983872my bad, meant to post this link:https://steamcommunity.com/app/3817250/discussions/0/766311764554185740/
>>733983476I kept seeing posts talking about how some demos would get removed by the time the steam next fest ends. Do the files get deleted automatically from your computer, or does the game just become inaccessible from your steam library? (and you keep the local files)If it's the latter then probably getting a Goldberg steam_api.ini file (or steam_api64) and replacing the original with the cracked one should allow you to keep playing the demos, right?
>>733984274You can post in the forums of the game and ask the dev if theyvcan keep the demo up for an extra week or two or even permanentlyIve done that a ton over the years
>>733983535Not from this next fest but ground zero
>>733984309Neat, didn't think of doing that
just realizing Toxic Commando is world war Z plus Spintires and I'm more confused than excited. I thought it was weird for them to be highlighting winch mechanics in a zombie shooter. Im gonna go play it but I think Im going to do it with disgust
>>733984274Some get removed, some stay. Nothing can be deleted from your PC but I suppose it can be disabled if there's an online check involved or something.
>>733983535Parasite Mutant was great.
>>733984473>>733984274Make a backup, steam can and will delete the files IF devs submit an empty build after the fest.
>>733984274The HYPNOSYNC demo/beta will likely not be playable after the next fest, same for Cicadamata's that literally has a timer on the title screen. Guess it might be worthwhile to pirate demoshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2986590/HYPNOSYNC/
>>733983872I had no trouble but I'm used to inti games where score attacking is a big deal and, unsurprisingly, they make fun of trannies.
super meat boy 3d is pretty good
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4253670/STARDUST_Wish_of_Witch_Demo/Fun little game. Admittedly there are some things I'd prefer gameplay wise, like being able to choose which character goes first, or being able to push enemies around more to make more use of line attacks. The devs said the demo is on easy mode so the full game should be harder, but personally I'm already sold on the character dynamics and detailed spritework. There are some translation issues that I hope get ironed out. It's very much an anime game, or perhaps more appropriately for the continent, a webtoon game. Fair warning if you don't enjoy watching cutscenes, or trying to make sure you click through the dialogue boxes without skipping any animation. One of the first things I looked for in the options was an autoplay option. https://files.catbox.moe/ywl4y9.mp4
>>733985192It just like my japanese isekais(actually korean webtoon)
>>733983979Troon shooter...
>>733985192Yeah it's pretty charming. Surprisingly high production value with all the sprite animations and full voice acting, I don't usually care for korean VAs but the performances weren't bad at all. Would've liked a bit of exploration but the demo was already long enough as it was, I can imagine the devs deciding to just leave it out and get straight to combat.But I found Charlotte's kit to be kind of awkward to use. For someone with a massive zweihander she can't really do much with it unless she's in her defensive stance. Maybe that's just from me not being familiar enough with SRPGs to intuit how to use her. I like her design though, she has nice boobs.
>>733985192The sprites look very nice and the animations are impressive, but somehow the maps just look so soulless and generic and empty. Wish they had better environment designers or just made smaller maps.

>>733958969>1000 keys only, since Friday 20thIsn't it too late to join this giveaway? Also the Vulture game crashes on startup when I launch it.
Vultures was ok. The weirdest thing about it is that I dunno why your underground organization of badasses can't afford to send you out with more than a plinker with 10 spare rounds and you have to scrounge for loose ammo. Trying to get that resident evil vibe but you're not one person trapped in a surprise incident so of course you didn't bring your bugout bag and ammo can.
>>733986408Stupid question but why is it troon coded
>>733988051It's literally white, light blue and pink. And seems to play like Neon White and ULTRAKILL
>>733987605According to the site Vultures still has keys
>>733988249It's red not pinkThere are other levels in the game that don't feature this color scheme>neon white>ultrakillI don't understand what makes those games troon friendly either
I don't get dice odyssey>first map encounter>roll 6>slot it into combat>lose
>>733988415no it's definitely pinkeven the reds are pinkI don't really know what about those games appeals to troons, you'd have to ask them
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2254950/The_Eternal_Life_of_Goldman/Don’t waste your time with this demo. The animations are amazing, backgrounds are gorgeous and detailed, the moveset is literally copied straight from DuckTales on NES and… that’s about it. The character design, especially for enemies, is straight-up ugly. The camera is so far out you can’t even appreciate the art (I played on a 55" TV), and there’s zero reason for it since the character moves at a snail’s pace. Level design is pure yawn fuel. The story just tries way too hard to be dark and depressing. Didn’t get far, but judging from the comments, the dialogue is insanely long-winded and boring. Dropped it after 30 minutes of a 90-minute demo.Bonus: the MC’s wearing a kippah and the mom’s VA sounds kinda trans.
>>733988865I dropped it after the bull fight. Whoever are the artists behind goldman, they should have went and made a cartoon or animated series instead.
>>733988051Ultrakill ruined shooters
>>733988051Trannies want to co-opt colour.
Okay I tried Vultures and while I like the idea it's just too hard for me. I'm at 5 hp with no healing spot or med kit left and can't progress without taking a hit so this is where my journey ends.I even subscribed to that newsletter to get a key if I finish the demo. Yeah that's not happeninghttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2537470/Vultures__Scavengers_of_Death/
>>733988051only trannies play these games
>>733989061I think it’s great when a game has high-quality art, but man, it’d be even better if that kind of talent worked under a competent director. And with some more wholesome themes, imagine a Kirby game drawn like this. I made it to that part with the gross worm things popping up and down, and they just look nasty. I bet later on the whole thing dives straight into body horror.
>>733988865>Frame narrative: "Goldman is a greedy jew!">Goldman appears later and he isn't actually a greedy jew like the narrator said he was. "Oh wow I guess it was just antisemitism all along">The real Goldman shows up, in a video after the credits of the game. Turns out he was a real person and he's saying that you didn't pay enough for the game.

I don't know if not many chinks participate or is the genre that niche.
>>733990712There's wuxia (somewhat grounded martial arts) and xianxia (cultivation, immortals etc)The former is a lot more common and all these games fall into that category. Xianxia doesn't even have a Steam tag.
>>733990712Those games deep in Wuxia flavor are near-untranslatable. Also JinYong's Wuxia universe and even Water Margin have sensitive context under the current CCP.They could do mythical themes like Wukong or Xianxia shit instead but those are interchangeable with any made-up setting.

>>733989817Did you switch to stealth movement instead of walk? Not getting instant gangbangs when you open most doors is nice. Also bring the molotov, personally I used it in the garden but there's probably other swarmy spots where you can make a kill choke.

>>733991256>stealth movementMan I didn't think of that... okay I can see that you can at least get one more free starting action in some rooms with this, maybe I'll try it from the beginning again later
>>733991437Yeah I don't think the tutorial brings up that there's movement modes and you should really default to stealth and not walk. Getting a free headshot is a good way to start fights.
Terrinoth is a cool tactics game. They're definitely aiming for Baldur's Gate fans with a scaly protagonist and an old woman as your team.>>733989817I'll try Vultures next. I really haven't been giving experimental RE clones a chance like this or the RE1 roguelite or House of Necrosis. There are a lot of them!

The fest page runs like hot doodoo from modern web designers so I'm feeding off scraps from these threads desu.
Man the Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake is some prime dogshit. What happened to Sega recently? It takes fucking effort to make a 30 year old game worse.
Alright I tried the other game you could get for free when finishing the demo as well. Didn't have enough travel resources to enter the boss room anymore, so I just lost the first run. Tried it two more times but got so bad RNG rooms and don't want to play another hour to get all the skills back and stuff. Yeah I won't bother anymore.It was an alright tactical turn-based game but I don't like the artstyle that much. It's hard to distinguish between your characters and different enemy types. Everything looks too sameyhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3275050/Ex_Sanguis/
>>733993862What's even the endgoal of it? Is it just doing random grids to level up endlessly?
>>733994319You collect blood points after finishing a stage and need 400 to enter a boss room. I'm not sure what happens after that or if that is the end of it because you need 50 memory points to travel to a new location but I didn't have those left once the boss room was in reach

Pretty competent 3d platformer/battler though, perhaps if it lets the cooldown finish from demon tides I could see picking it up. Character is certainly more attractive than beebz 2.It suffers from "not a vertical slice" demo though so I have no idea if it gets actually hard or interesting later.
All trashyou're taste a shit
>>733993391>What happened to Sega recentlyThey didn't even publish the game, it's just another "rent-an-IP" contract.

Great environments in Vultures. It's faithful to the RE2/3 aesthetic like Vaccine Rebirth was to RE1.
Hubert is strongly implying that you won't be able to play his demo once the festival is over.

>>733993862On the contrary, I like the art style, but the gameplay was boring as shit. The UI outside of the battle HUD feels amateurish as well.
>>733984274>>734002209this is BS. what's the point of a one day demo? FOMO?
>>733995015>Pretty competent 3d platformer/battler thoughThe only thing competent about it is the art direction. The gameplay is barebones as shit.
The Glued takes the cake for being the worst demo I've ever playedit's less than 5 min long, you do fuck all in it, and it just abruptly ends, asking you to check out the dev's other games>I'm at school, goodbye friends>wha? I don't remember coming to this place>huh? I have a phone? what's this emoji? someone's asking me to go to school? they have a mask glued on and they can't remove it>THANKS FOR PLAYING THE DEMOthere, I just saved you 3 to 4 min of your life
>>734003808Yes. There are devs who seriously think that they should only have a demo available as a limited thing to entice people to care about their game above all of the 4 thousand other demos.In truth all it does it expose them as people who don't care if you're a late comer, if you aren't a diehard fan on day 1 you don't matter to them, just buy the game instead if you want to form an opinion. This backwards logic literally only works if the demo is not representative of the final product (game shouldn't be undergoing major changes) or if the game depends on an active online playerbase to even be played.Only big name publishers could actually swing their popularity around for shit like this.
This game knows how to tickle my brain
>>733990359https://store.steampowered.com/app/3684500/Warlords_Battleground_Extraction/did you try this one. the RPGM UI is lame but it's a surprisingly fun demo. who knew a single player extraction shooter would work so well in an ancient battlefield setting.I might buy it if it releases below $15.

In the demo you walk around picking up keycards until you get forcibly decommissioned. Would love the dev to team up with more people to create a real game out of the setting because he did a good job on the sound design and the flashlight made me feel like I was a robot. But it's missing too much in the gameplay department for me to recommend. Maybe the full game will change this.

Your character is an inquisitor investigating heretics and lovecraftian monsters. It's reminiscent of the Project Moon universe, if you enjoy Limbus or Ruina for their worldbuilding you'll be right at home.

I don't know why I expected more out of this.Hozy: It's a nice interior cleaning and decoration game.mole: Decent horror game but with cheap jumpscares. Good atmosphere and in world interactions with machines, but fairly linear - at least in the demo. Doesn't handhold much.

>>734019520yeah the developer mentioned that in one of his updates that he thinks the open ended nature might not be making for a great demo.Some games are like that. They don't make good demos. They're called visual novels and strategy games.

The freak is right, the threads are winding down. Probably because the festival is nearly over, but Resident Evil 9 also contributed. Better start preparing your closing remarks about this thread. Really looking forward to hearing about how this was the worst next fest ever, as it always is.
>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2986590/HYPNOSYNC/I love Rhythm games but I did absolutely not vibe with the control scheme of Hypnosinc. I tried with both a stick and keyboard and neither felt good. If anything stick felt even more awkward. The dev shows his fingers and how he uses his stick in one of trailers on the storepage and it doesn't look any less awkward there.

>>734022284She has hearts, so yes. She's a little crazy and the one who accidentally summoned the player character. She says it will take her 2 years to find a way back so I guess that means if the player doesn't settle down with anyone by then, the game ends with the player character being returned to earth but that is just my assumption.
>>734021213>Nox MortalisI was about to make a post about this one.At first I thought it was a dungeon crawler where you need to harvest resources in the surface and craft equipment and healing items before your dungeon crawling (the demo has 15 floors), but turns out that most of the game's content is actually on the surface, including some of the best items in the demo (you can find a sword that is better than any crafted item very close to your house). Don't explore the world without the "return to spawn point" tool from the dungeon, though.It's hard to recommend it due to the slow-paced combat and movement speed, but the amount of secrets and magic items that are basically cheat codes makes it entertaining (I'm running faster than normal in this webm because I found a speed mushroom and a speed ring).
>>734022514yeah, closest thing we used to have was monhun, but that was only during classic
>>734022805I just couldn't get started. Found an axe that did shit-all dmg against spiders and skellies

Pass"Super beast world' Annoying precision rage inducing platforming bullshit. Really fucking fun though.'Luna Abyss' Fuckin wierd FPS game. Unreal slop but actually looks good. Seemed fun to me.'Guns and Nuns' fuckin retarded. Kinda amusing but fuckin retarded.'Interdimensional vending machine' Dont know how to play it. I starved and apparently nobody gave a shit. If there was some greater point to the vending machine items i didnt find it though at one point my girl looked slightly diseased though it cleared up.'Withering realms' Ghost girl piggybacking on a creepy doll. Control is sluggish and stiffer than my dick on my wedding day. Still if you can get a feel for it this seems pretty good.'Ariana and the elder codex' Visuals want to be Afterimage but gameplay wants to be Tevi Its fun and has potential but feels like something was missing...'Rig riot' Barely played but seemed a clusterfuck. Definitely not on the same level as Armored core or Dolls nest but someone might like it

>>733983872Now that I'm finally done getting to top 10 on at least one level I can finally go back to dumpster diving, missed some good demos. I got my fair share of mileage out of cicadamata alreadyhttps://files.catbox.moe/nrppvh.webm>>734015545Now that's the good shit, I hope it'll be interesting like Schrodinger's Call or Prolegomena as far as anime mystery VNs go. This fest has more western puzzle/detective games to go through compared to japanese stuff and their derivatives. I enjoyed Feline Forensicshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2945150/Feline_Forensics_and_the_Meowseum_Mystery
>>734023712>Fantasy Sys ShockNANI???>Dolls nestHow is this? Shitty cashgrab with lolis or actually decent mecha game?So far I've played>Esoteric EbbHave posted multiple times on this already, very good disco-like (their words) that doesn't lean too far into either direction politically. Very open world, you can easily end up dead by just wondering off like I almost did kek. Fun way of doing combat where you get initiatives and have dialogue options for different actions based on your attributes and you can even cast different spells mid-fight. Did a really good job of fleshing out the world, really want to see more anachronistic stuff like the bicycles and jukebox. >Parasite MutantParasite Eve-clone that seems kinda basic. Very smooth UI that's got SOUL and the enemies look really grotesque and monstrous. Gameplay is easy though so hopefully enemies get quicker or more dangerous attacks that you can't just run around. Blasted through the demo's final boss by just unloading your one megabuster magic attack and then using the 10+ fucking ethers they give you to recharge MP. Neat aesthetics too.>AudiomechPlayed this back during it's initial announcement. Need more music games like this and Beat Hazard I can connect to youtube/spotify/my own music. Breddy fun but sometimes your music choice can cuck you since sometimes certain enemies can only be killed with certain weapons. Has that roguelite item-choice between rounds that mite be kewl but so far the gameplay is kinda basic, just mellow out to your music.>No Vacation for an ExectutionerAbout to play this one but from what I've seen looks breddy cool.
Kind of funny. The character classes are all ridiculous, like fishmonger or sous chef. There's a menu option to disable random encounters. That's a new one on me, I think. Don't know if I've seen a game with that option before.The snail thing they are referencing is this:https://villainsfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Immortal_SnailJust a ripoff of It Follows, but with a snail instead of a monster who follows you at a constant steady pace, basically.
>>734023648The "intended" progression is>harvest tree>craft pickaxe>harvest rock>craft sword and new pickaxe>goto dungeon and and find new materials>craft keys>open chestsAnd you will repeat this this loop as you find new materials, but you can just skip most of it by finding a pickaxe, a sword, some explosives and the crossbow in the surface. Walk past the dungeon's entrance and stay close to the wall, be careful with the ruins and keep moving forward until you find a cliff and a NPC (talk to him until he runs out of dialogue lines) to get the sword.I forgot I was on the other side of the map so unfortunately I can't give you better instructions right now (my stone is teleporting me to a new spawn point close to this church).
>>734024142People keep comparing granblue fantasy relink to monhun, I haven't tried it but there's an open beta you can apply to, application window closes in 4 hours though relink-ragnarok.granbluefantasy.com/en/cbt/>GAL VS VILLAGESurprisingly good voice acting. Good tempo and carnage. Some enemies are too easy.
>>734023712>hark the GhoulI spent 4.5 hours on the demo. Good shit. Has the level design quality where you pick a path and that path leads you to five new paths to take and they all loop on each other. I want more.
Pretty good actually. Probably hard to explain though. You're responsible for retrieving ice from caverns underground to keep a machine from overheating, if that helps, but it's obviously not going to be really about that.
>>733984843I was surprised to see the 45-degree angle lock as the default. Only thing I wish they did was pick an art style closer to the original's. Going for UE5-realistic materials & depth of field out the ass affects being able to read the map on a blind run. Also why the fuck is Meat Boy's ass so prominently sculpted here?
>>734024757cool, thanks. I'll give it another go. I liked the atmosphere
I don't think I've ever spent this much time on a single-player demo before. Thank fuck he's making demo progress carry over to final.
anything with cute animals going on adventure?
>>734019003I think Sword Hero will be good. The dev's got the combat down, it's important he doesn't fuck up the open-world aspect of the game
>>734025141>has playable characters instead of letting you make your ownthis shit is so lame I just can't in a game like this I want to make my own character even if it's picking a class diablo style and they all look the same it's still my character
just give the award to best demo to Parasite Mutant and call it a day I think
>>734024449Dolls nest is fuckin awesome. More like the older armored core games. Its def not a loli cash grab
>>734026354Pretty dang good, wasn't it? Was not expecting to like it that much.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2594770/SoulQuest/I thought this demo was fun. Game's a 2D character action game which sets it apart from the 3 gorillion metroidvanias out there. Only notable issues IMO were some typos here and there and the voice acting is just okay.

I've been checking out Fangs and Forges and it really grabbed my attention. I'm looking forward to release.Cyclopean II also seems interesting, but it seems like the type of game that demands a good amount of hours into it in order to enjoy it, kinda like Infra Arcana, but less cruel. I really liked the first person dungeon.
>>734028914It's Terraria without all the nerfs to progression-skipping tricks.
Ok Here's some reviews from random demos I've played so far:>Dive or die - children of rainFun game mixture of Darkest dungeon style art/permadeath with solo diving mechanics. There's only ~10 days/dives in the demo but it seems to nail creepy lovecraftian vibes.>FogpiercerAnother fun game deckbuilder FTL style maps with tactical positioning in fights,you're a train fighting bandits and you get to choose which carriage types/cards you want to get or upgrade. Very recommended>Ex SanguisNot recommended, turn based tactical game where your abilities can change how often attacks occur. Art is very white and red so its hard to see and understand what's going on. No real world or character building I can see>Withering RealmsMixed on this. I liked the dev's previous game but I felt like most of the time I was fighting the camera not the enemy, combat is clunky. Using a young girl doesn't seem great for having deep character interactions as well.>Tides of BladefallFun mix of sunless sea and disco elysium
>35gb demolol no thanks
>>734029585Can't be worse than this was
Quick question. Did anyone play the Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo and had the game crash on them? Cause it just happened to me after playing for an hour.

>>734030661"Story" in Metroidvanias is the biggest red flag in general. There's a reason SotN kept it extremely brief on that end.
>>734030772It was alright. I like it better than cicadamata
>>734030928It's not even the last one coming out, there's a whole fucking spew of these jank ass metroidvanias on social media, they're built for social media and wishlist hype rather than being actually good games
>>734014630There hasn't been much "hype" for video games in general for a while now. /v/ has been a relative for some time and it's only getting more and more apparent by the day. You'd have thought the Switch 2 would have reignited something, but not even that has done much.All to say that no, it wasn't any "press preview" that killed hype. The whole industry is in a downturn ever since the effects of the covid bump started wearing off.
>>734030772I liked it, last stage was bullshit though, but since it sent me to the credits after dying I'm imagining that's intentional.
>>733995015Looks decent but combat is easy and simple. Needs more work on the lore and mechanics in general. World isn't that interesting to explore, it's mostly linear with one or two secrets per section. Camera and dodge are stiff with a controller. Has promise but needs a ton of work. They have already worked on it for over four years or so...
>>734031097>/v/ has been a relative ghost town for some timeFixed. Sorry.
I've only gone through 250 games in the queue so far. I'm so weak.
>>734024449>Fantasy Sys Shockhe's over selling it >Dolls nest>How is this?It's fucking awesome>No Vacation for an Exectutionerplayed like shit but has an interesting style, even though it isn't executed(lol) that well
>>734031197The missile defense level or the endless one with the big ufo and dual pistols?
>>734030391They had to upload a fixed version later yeah
>>734004681to be fair, a lot of these "demos" are actually just alpha builds that may be heavily changed during development, so the dev might want people to not keep playing some old version that may look very different from the final product.
>>734031291I feel the queue is better in the preview than the main one, I think the "popular" demos tend to not be great.
Walk the frog is kinda lame, just extremely simple jigsaw puzzles. Unless it gets more complex later, I quit fairly early
>>734024449Dolls nest is legit really fuckin good
>>734031079This has been a plague almost since cave story, yes?
>>734030661Honestly the stupid amount of spikes and giant dildos of death, randomly losing 100% of my cash after dying and being forced to play a 2D game with the analog stick (aiming the dagger with the D-Pad sucks) was far more annoying me more than reading the flirty dialogue lines of a wholesome slut who wants to fuck space lizards and purple dudes and brown ladies while her ex-gf is watching on the other side of the room because she forgot to put a door in her bedroom. But yeah I don't disagree with you.You need to fight enemies to farm money and buy passive effects in that skill tree ("+10% melee damage" in a game where you 10 damage per hit), so it's not "completely" useless (it becomes completely useless when you accidentally die trying to complete yet another spikefest room and lose all of your cash instantly).But the teleporting dagger was a very cool idea, at least.
>>734031439>No VacationYeah that's about the same as I felt. I couldn't make it past the 3rd area with those fucking musketeers. The parry system is very finicky and needs some polish and make it a bit fucking easier God DAMN. I do agree though the aesthetics and monster art are TOP NOTCH.
>>734031097Feels great! We might even get less faggot bait in major titles eventually
>>734032293Forgot to mention I did have this hilarious bug happen when I was playing the piano. Apparently it doesn't lock your movement? Also some of the dialogue sticking around for way too long or being unskippable for some odd reason. Menus can still pop up from talking to an NPC and walking away mid-convo.
>>734030661>>734032257check out Divinum from the last thread if you want some decent 2D action
>>734032257>Dialogue "may" lead to romance>Dialog choice is literally "Harry let's talk about you" marked with a heartI did laugh at how on the nose it was
>>734032414Well it's a jank game, some of it by design. Not surprising the dev didn't put too much effort into the details
>>734031097>>734031265A ghost town filled with shills and gachaniggersI fucking hate it.
>>734031439>Dolls NestOne of my favorite demos from that Next Fest. I got it on day one.
Checked my final haul, 19 wishlists from this fest. 5 or so of those were already on my wishlist before this fest.Couple games in that group coming out in the next few months. Feels good playin games instead of bait posting on /v/.
>>734031502The missile defense, I didn't do the endless one.
>>734032252There's a whole new breed that are giving me bad grift vibes, it's hard to explain
>>734032775One of the most fun and coolest games in recent memory. The world, customization and action are all decent to very good but together they are fantastic
Everything is Crab is one of the few games that immediately left me wanting more.(The data gathering option is on by default, check the options menu if you care about that)
>>734032409>We might even get less faggot bait in major titles eventuallyDoubt it since the people who are left that care about video games enough to make them and sell them love the faggot bait and surround themselves/attract audiences of others who do.
this is gonna be the next streamer friendslop game in the coming months i'm calling it now
>>734033340I had fun with it too, but terrible at it. Finally had a successful run earlier.
>>734033340I really like it but the runs, at least at low level, feel like they end before they can get really satisfyingalso social is extremely strong but very hard to get started
>>734033580For me it was pretty easy, I won on the first run, but I almost died to the last boss of the demo (the kangaroo thing), I ended up kiting it around the arena until its aggression timer ran out, only boss I didn't kill.
>>734030772>Japanese people are getting into making boomer shooter style FPS gamesWhy did it take them so long?

>>734035031I think that's an unlockable feature or post-ending content because there is no option to disable the futa content in the demo. They all have dicks and balls and you have to fuck them whether you like that balls-on-balls action or not.Also the actual gameplay is balls shooting balls at balls (and other shapes). At least it's not a vampire survivors clone (even though it looks like one).

I'm about 20 demos deep into the ~32 I grabbed. I'm gonna make it (and wishlist about a dozen total probably).
>>734035770looks like total AI slop
>>734033171Missile defense is beatable. Simply get good. The game is fun if a bit simple. The "recover your body" gimmick is interesting. I like that you got a selection of weapons at the end, the sniper rifle had a fun mechanic where it basically hitscans if you ADS for long enough but it needs a way more impactful firing sound.
Downloading all these right now I hope they are all fun
any decent FPS games? nothing with rogue like elements please and no multiplayer either
oh and fuck ubisoft they did a publisher sale right now on purpose to take the focus off of next fest the cunts

>>734037167what? it had a cute anime girl on the cover art and wasn't some pixel art metroidvania slop or visual novel so i added it. is it bad or something?
>>734036673Salvage Squad and Alloy Crush are decently fun in my opinion, haven't tried the others but I got Bombun on the backlog
I played more than I remember but here's the ones I liked.>Parasite MutantCompetent PE clone. Maybe a bit too easy? I did 3 playthroughs and never did once, two of these playthroughs I didn't even get the SMG. >CicadamataThis just feels insanely smooth to play. Everything about the presentation is excellent, and I like that the scoring isn't solely focused on speed. >Withering RealmsToT ghost cunny erotic!>InfalsusGenuinely fantastic barring some visibility issues. I wish the notes on the sides were of a bit brighter color.>Bellagarth's QuestI don't even care about the fat fetish stuff, the game just oozes soul. The animations are just so well done, and there's so many little details, you can just feel how much passion went into the game.>Panic Floor!!Good stuff but I don't know if I'll get it. These types of games aren't my cup of tea. >MighttreyaGood but I really hope the final game is a bit more complex. The trailer mentions 3 weapons and in the demo you only have acess to 1 so hopefully the final game is a bit deeper because right now it's very, very easy. Special Mention:>Mörk BorgOn this one I'm torn. I love the art style, and I appreciate any game that tries to be Dragon's Crown and looks halfway decent, but the combat is so incredibly slow, it's painfully slow, and the fact that you have to constantly backtrack as there's lots of dead ends with no looping paths just sucks. Actually, I changed my mind, I didn't like this one.
>>734037561>MightreyaIt's getting review bombed for using AI art for the background details, sad...
>>734037712You can just ignore those guys, they were never planning on buying the game anyway.
Erm....
>>734037712I played through the demo twice and I didn't notice. As long as it's not super ugly, I really don't mind AI. Considering the studio isn't just one guy, they probably trained it with the main artist's own art too.

>>734037561>Mörk Borgneat, I had no idea they made a video game for Mörk Borg, I gotta try that
>>734037316It's not very good no. I was hoping for more despite the low budget visuals but the combat feels off and the jumping/stomping mechanics are awkward. Each level chunk is about as uninspired as you can get too. It's MAYBE a 6/10 at best but that means you might find something in it I couldn't.
>>734037712It's unfortunate that the initial reaction to using a tool that can help lower the barrier and equalize a bit for smaller indie companies and solo developers to compete with these bigger companies is what it is. I really don't care if AI tools are used to help make the game as long as the art direction is nice and the game is fun and interesting. Anything that can help out these smaller teams who actually have passion for making games, I'm OK with them leveraging it.
>>734037818>boy transforms into "woman"Picked up!
>>734036673bombun's fixed camera is so shit, i know its a skill issue but still. if it was mouse controlled camera it would be like a 7/10 or higher>>734038505downloading it right now, its next on the list
>>734038683Yeah, there's no reasoning with those idiots who are aggressively anti-technology. But you don't need to reason with them, the fact of the matter is AI is cheaper than humans and low cost solutions will always win, no matter how much you whine about it on the internet. Sure, it lets people make games with minimal effort, but low effort games have always existed as RPGmakers or Shovelwares. You can just ignore them instead of throwing a tantrum every time.What I'm really looking forwards to is when the people with talent start pushing the boundaries of AI. Then we might see something special. There's a bit of novel use for equalization already, with some indie games generating entire radio station soundtracks so they can mimic the GTA car radio but avoid licensing fees for real songs. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. There's so much more that can be done with AI, I can't wait to see it.
How come developers of the past could put out real stealth games, albeit mostly very flawed compared to their counterparts in the double A side and yet an indie developers quality is generally below even this? none of them will even attempt layered stealth in which clone Thief or Splinter Cell, light and sound meter based. Let alone indie devs don't even do the stealth genre mostly except for the rare exceptions of: Neon Struct, Gloomwood, Filcher and Intravenous. But these were the exceptions to the rule to have really attempted something proper. I'm fairly certain that it's not working as intended in Brush Burial. I will keep bitching about this until someone in these threads who is a developer sees what I'm complaining about and decides to make a game. It doesn't need to be replica of Thief/SC but it does need to be good in it's own way. It needs depth to mechanics. I don't list MGS because the management of layered stealth is reduced.
Prolegomena To a Hyperdimensional Interface That Will Be Able to Manifest From Three-Minute InterchangesThis demo is very very short and there's not much to it but I want to shill it because I'm a big fan of the devs, it's an interactive vn with some metay elements, you interact with a cute girl in 3 minute intervals, there's only one solution to the demo right now as far as I can tell minimizing the window and then bring it back up over and over or dragging it around and shaking it but I actually have faith the devs will include a lot more neat stuff in the full version
The actual layered stealth variant is the shortest genre in existence I'd might add.

>>734002009>>734017108Yeah, the "tactical" stuff doesnt feel very tactical when you're hoping for immobilize with legshots and no reward for melee positioning besides extra hits. Why dont melee head stabs do more damage? Why aim for the head for 2 AP when two regular shots is just better?
>>734040893Faune can jump on top of the boss and stomp it (gotta use all those 87 high-heels upgrades you collected in exploration mode). Hime's jump is a bit short but you can pull it off if you time it right.Alternatively, keep eating those croissants.

>>734040948Does it use light based mechanics in regards to Neverlooted? I'll give the demo a shot.From my research i think Peripeteia, Corpus Edax and Transience have some loose form of visibility based mechanics but i can't remember how deep and whether there's some real form of trackable light levels throughout levels, that's a design thing. Light based design is a real thing and it's apart of the level design. Peripetia also wanted to be Thief at the same time if I'm recalling correctly so if that's one i misjudged then I'll stand corrected on one more being there. It's just i can't remember how well it worked and games like Neon Struct stood out more to me. Don't remember if it does sound propagation properly or not. There's some upcoming Thief/Dishonored clones like Terror Type Alchemy and Disavowed. But i also don't recall anything sticking out in either one of their demos. The sound part didn't really seem that deep or nor did the hiding through shadows and moving through areas of light seem apparent to me.
I haven't been keeping up, give me the gems you've found and I'll give it a shot

>>734037712Honestly, it's good that using AI becomes stigmatized as soon as possible, even if it harms mostly innocent users like this.>>734041589Thanks.
>>734037712I loved Assault Spy and enjoyed the Mightreya demo without even noticing the AI art, but I still think there should be backlash for generative AI so I hope the dev takes notice.
>>734040608>Nobody gives a shit about stealth gamesWell that's interesting because you're admitting that indie developers make games that only they know will sell. Rather than making games that have a niche audience like how gaming was back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3581040/Bharat_Police/do the needful, saars
>>734044275To be fair it's not really stigmatized to the point people will stop using it. Even now, despite the knee jerk response in some online communities to AI specifically in illustrations and music, the majority of people either don't care one way or the other or like/utilize AI in their tasks and project workflows. That's only going to keep growing as the technology gets better and more people better understand what they have in front of them to use.

>>734047493ey no problem niggy
>>733984274Most of the time, you'll probably be able to play the demo after the event ends.Sometimes they remove the demo from being downloaded, but if you've got it on your pc you can still play it, other times they'll push an update that deletes the files (I've seen it happen like twice), and then there's the ones that require a connection to steam, which means when the demo becomes unavailable to download, the game won't work. I haven't tried the goldberg thing, especially since having to go out of my way to play a fucking demo just puts me off, but you can sometimes just delete the steam_api file, and it'll work.If I really like the game, I'll just make a note of the game, and sometimes, they put the demo up again in the next next fest (another issue, games should be limited to one appearance per fest to limit bloat but wtv)

I'll put it down for now so it doesn't siphon all my time.It's tagged as a farming sim, but really it's also half-mystery, but all the moving parts don't really become super apparent until about two weeks into the in-game calendar where a bunch of shit starts to hit the fan. It has the chink hallmark of the MC being super-competent and good at almost everything, and the girls fawning over him after one interaction, but they are cute and have nice sprites, so I'm not too sour over that.The farming aspect is simple, but just about engaging enough for me to not be bored as I progress to the next breadcrumb of narrative, which is interesting so far. Definitely keeping an eye on it. A bit buggy though.

>>734058320I knew bombun was from here. It was too cute not to be.
>>734035392>video games, grow the fuck up.
>>734035950that's a good hit ratio. I've wishlisted 16 games but tried almost 200. I do download anything that looks remotely interesting though
>>734037316It's very bad
>>734058320You forgot dead watchhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3464670/Dead_Watch/
>>734041008>Also actually playable solohow? you need 1 weapon, 1 torch, food, slot for key. you can't hold shit and have to run back and forth between loot piles like a retard with t-rex arms >just craft a backpack bro>just spend 45 minutes hunting for leather before you start playing the game for realit needs a lot of work besides that, combat as you said
>>734043389>Denshattackit's like playing the old Hugo games, on rails QTEs>down...Southisn't it just hold right to win? I only made it to saladfingers before quitting >Notably Good but only if you're down for the genre/aesthetic>Titanium Courtboth the match 3 and the combat is mid, i don't get it >Jenny the Witchsome promise but needs a lot of work, it's like a bad ps2 action game from 25 years ago
As we narrow in on the final day, my hits from the fest.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2702260/Map_Map__A_Game_About_MapsYou make maps.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2299940/The_Button_EffectYou push buttonshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2529960/Alpha_NomosClussyhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4123600/Alisas_Incident_ReportYou fill out nursing formshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1171980/Neverlooted_DungeonOnly dungeon crawler I've played where diffusing traps seems meaningful.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3817250/CICADAMATAThe marathon aesthetic done right.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3609320/BombunBunny platformerhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3509230/GambonanzaChess balatrohttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3281970/Deep_Snow_DeliveryHopefully this will end better than the animeOverall a good run, but my main complaint this fest is how lackluster the H-games have been. Is this the influence of steam censorship or was it just a bad turnout this year?
>>734058651oh really, cool
>>734026542Okay I played it and it's kino. Will be boughted for sure.
>>734049765Did the dev nerf that encounter? It was even more bullshit when I played it.
>>734058854>isn't it just hold right to win? I only made it to saladfingers before quittingI only died to two things: one of the bottomless pits, and the boss fight on my second playthrough, because if you choose to kill the green guy the boss gets a second, harder phase that's actually a challenge.
I didn't like bombun however I was playing with kbm so maybe it feels better on controller despite the shit camera
>>734060996nah it's also very mid on a controllerfun experiment but I didn't like the movement at all when it comes to platformers
Just two more demos and I am done
Having a lot of fun with enter the chronosphere, a lot more than I initially thought seeing the weird control scheme
>A demo for a game on your Steam Wishlist is now available to Play!>Let's just wait until the steam next fest is about to end when everyone is tired of dumpster diving before making your demo availablewell FUCK YOU chromadi not playing you it's been almost two weeks since I first heard of the game during the press preview
>>733989641this but I'm actually seriousand if you don't understand why I'm not going to explain
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4319990/Freefall_95_Demo/A newgrounds game with quite some depth, neat execution
>>734028594Who is this meant to appeal to?
>demo tells you to register before playing
>>734028594this thread keeps delivering for mystery vn gods
>>734061985I would say me but her feet are kinda ugly sometimes too anime/stylized does fetish content a disservice
>this game might be good >roguelike
Has anyone else tried Kisaragi? It's a short demo and a very basic/amateur third person shooter but it was pretty fun. Here's a clip of some gameplay.https://files.catbox.moe/oph53n.mp4and store page https://store.steampowered.com/app/4388610/Kisaragi_Demo/
>>734033515Too weird for normalfags.
I quite like the Eternal life of Goldman.What was the issue people had with it? Just the dialog?
>>734063101I didn't play it but I saw a sped up webm that was almost 2 minutes long of straight dialogue
>can actually flirt with some baddies>is, like, the opposite of a skilled operatorI don't think I will like ebb and flow much
>>734063163I read somewhere they cut down the demo, I guess I played the new version because I never had that much dialog
>>734062787never wanted to play it after looking at the obvious asset flip visualssame for that other 3D rpg anime adventure game that had a funny name. too low effort to be worth considering
>>734048003>black>but oppai loliIs this woke or based? My dick is confused.
