Crosscode 2 is outWho's playing?
>>738388393is it good? crosscode made me feel like i just played the studio's one hit wonder
>>738388393Me. Though I won't be able to play until later today, so I'm avoiding discussion for now.
I've bought it but debating just waiting for 1.0 anywayI REALLY hope they didn't listen to retards and tone down the puzzles
>>738388686the demo didn't really impress me, but I always found the dungeons to be the highlight of crosscode, and I didn't get to try one in the demo
>>738388780yeah I was thinking of buying it just to get it cheaper but I don't want to play it till it's fully released
I haven't played it yet but I imagine that just by being 3D, it should make the platforming less of a pain.I remember depth perception being a pretty annoying thing in Crosscode.
>>738388925Annoying is the understatement of the century. You had to spam BALLS everywhere lest you risk having to backtrack 5 screens to get back up again.
is it coded in Javascript like CrossCode or uses an actual engine? CrossCode had a nasty memoryleak
>>738389108Same engine pretty much
>>738388393Graphics look BoF4 inspired. Still not quite reaching those heights, but about time someone tried.
>eaI love crosscode but nah, I'll wait.Early access is a death sentence at this point. People burn themselves out before the games even complete.
>>738388393>2 chapters out>7 chapters plannedI might buy it because I really liked Crosscode but I'm not playing until it's complete.
>>738388393>posting an image of the steam store instead of a screenshotKill yourself.
>>738388393The demo was nice, but I don't do early access.
>>738388393>EARLY ACCESSNo. Not playing. Enjoy your unpaid beta testing.
>>738390195>>738390547developing niggas see Hades and Baldur's Gate 3 having successful early accesses and try going for it too, not having the ability to meet deadlines and absorbing the correct user criticism.EA paypig niggas buy early access games and expect a finished product straight away, trowing a tantrum and avoiding constructive criticism.This game release MO is a plague for everyone.
>>738390806>not having the ability to meet deadlines and absorbing the correct user criticism.Except they did that during crosscodeI hate EA from turd developers who just want to shit something out for a quick buck as much the next guy but Radical Fish have actually proven themselves
>>738388393>only 2 chapters.I'll only play if there's assurance that there's no sudden changes between the present and the final version. If there isn't I'll wait until it's fully released. I have high hopes for Radical Fish though.
>>738390195Wasn't crosscode also EA? In any case I think I'll wait for the full release as well anyways. Don't like playing something that's going to be as long as crosscode piecemeal
>increasing the resolution still makes images blurry as shitfix it you fucking fishes
>>738388393I'd rather wait for 1.0, but I'm tempted to jump in now and leave feedback if the dungeons or puzzles feel inadequate.
>>738388393>early access>only 2 chapters out of 7 ready>eta: at least 2 yearsFug. I look forward to whenever 1.0 comes out
>>738388825> /v doesn't play gamesAnon there was a dungeon segment in the demo
>early accessI'll check back on it in 5 years when the devs have maybe added all the content and QoL stuff other games have had for decades, assuming they don't abandon it after a year (they will).
>>738388686Crosscode combat was ass. AD has actually good combat gameplay. It also has what is essentially a turbosprint mechanic baked in. Ranged and melee are now split into distinct weapons. There are also unique weapon subtypes for ranged and melee (eg. fast dagger or slow big chungus hammer). It's like comparing nestroid to Super Metroid, insane glowup.t. full cleared crosscode and its dlc
I'm having a hard time caring about the characters and dialogue. Juno simply isn't as cute as my wife Lea
>>738391692They've already stated their plan is to increase the price over time as content is added. If nothing else it makes sense to buy it now even if you are waiting for 1.0. It's effectively buying it on sale.
>>738392898The cast of crosscodes sucked. I'm sure these AD characters will suck too, but the designs are cuter so they win.
>11 years since Crosscode released>Early access slopWhat have these people been doing all this time?
>>738388393Looking good
>we expect Early Access to go on for at least 2 yearsAhahahaha. Nah, I'm good. Why would I possibly play an unfinished single player game?
>>738393090>The cast of crosscodes suckedincredibly shit taste
>>738388393Wow, can't wait to do timed puzzles that span through 5 floors and 20 rooms.
>>738391396Cute pattsun.
>>738388393>How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?>"The full game will include the complete story with 7 chapters and an estimated playtime of about 40 hours.">What is the current state of the Early Access version?>"The initial Early Access version will include the story up until the middle of chapter 2 with a total playtime of about 6 - 10 hours"Yeah... I think I'll wait.
>>738388393>early access>early access with 1/4 of the total content at that>ambiguously brown female MC>seemingly entirely female main cast>half-assed cooking minigame(?)>dog-shit modern dialogue everywhereSeems like they're trying to hit as many warning signs as they can. Might give it a pirate when it fully releases, we'll see.
>early accessNo it isn't.
Just boughted itNo time to play it anytime soon though
>>738388393>early access lmao patheticNo surprise since this shit heel dev still hasn't finished Velsabor either
>>738390547>Enjoy your unpaid beta testing.Vast majority of early access games are in alpha. A beta is a finished game that needs testing.
>>738393695wait, that was by the devteam?
Crosscode was a disappointment and I didn't finish it. Why should I be excited for another game by this team?
>>738393560sadly that's the kind of thing Alabaster Dawn is moving away from
>>738394014Because it was great and you 100% it
>>738393970The team was founded by the guy who made it (Lachsen)
>>738388780I loved how challenging the puzzles were but I wish they would stop with the stupidly long puzzles that aren't hard to figure out but painful to execute properly.
>>738388393So far good first impressions. Way less dialogue heavy. Felt like Crosscode would be half as a long if none of the characters "..." every other time they spoke. Combat feels so much better too.But early access? Can't wait to play it again 2 years from now I guess.
Crosscode is overrated as hell, so I'm not very excited for this game.
>>738394048>reacting precisely = reacting at the speed of lightbunch of faggots
>>738394535Hopefully the whole game is like that. Crosscode and Iconoclasts were the two indie games where the NPCs never SHUT THE FUCK UP. How do these people not realize no one is playing their shitty indie game for the story or dialogue.
>>738388393This looks better than CrossCode. I'll check it out once it is fully released.
>>738394886Iconoclasts story was kino tho
>>738394048it's subnautica all over again. faggot devs accidentally make a good game, then everything they put out after is dogshit.oh well.
>>738394886I literally skipped half the dialogue in Crosscode and I was still able to follow the story just fine. That game's story telling really needed some trimming.
>>738393106hookers and drugs
>early accessNo thanks.>this shit >>738393243No thanks, I'll add the game's name to my filter so when it fully releases I won't make the mistake of buying it.
Played the demo and the plot and setting were so cookie-cutter i lost interest immediately and i doubt they're gonna pull some crazy plottwists.Should've worked on Crosscode 2 tbqh.
>>738394048Lame. I remember thinking the puzzle design itself was fun but that they spaced them out poorly. If they want to make puzzles feel less tedious they should address the boring free roam areas since they fail to break up the pacing.
>>738395646That really should have ended with a total fuck up mistimed throw/total miss of the projectile to justify watching it.
>>738388393smells like reddit hence no buy
>>738396009Why do you know what reddit smells like
>>738395646I got sick of every dungeon repeating essentially the same puzzle a dozen times with slowly escalating difficulty. The difficulty itself wasn't the problem, it was just padding.
>>738395646>imagine using the menu during a puzzle to bufferDeplorable behavior
>>738388393>Early AccessCall me when it actually releases. Probably still unfinished anyway, I remember that multi-class fucker's questline wasn't finished by 1.0 in Crosscode.Fuck you.
>>738395583>>738395414I like Lea and Emilie's designs a lot more than any of the ones in AD. They messed up by not making the delicious choco brown protagonist more tomboyish. Instead it looks like they're using the same kind of gormless stoneface protag that Lea was a pleasant subversion of.Maybe it would help to make the world more unique if they did more with the primitive aesthetic that' seems present, as most of what's been shown off hovers around some cookiecutter nature vs corruption motif. Unfortunately they probably don't have it in them to put all the characters in skimpy mesoamerican/aztec outfits...
>>738395414The studio is German.
>>738397313>behold the retarded taste of someone that actually liked the crosscode characters
>>738395583It's a video game, not a book.
>>738388393Does it have laser bridges?
>>738395646>the boring free roam areas since they fail to break up the pacing.Imagine having lost your sense of wonder this badly. They were the best parts since they had puzzles organically placed in the environment you could tackle while exploring and fighting.
>>738395646>pausingyou didn't solve the puzzle>>738397713>indie game funded by the german government>tranny on the teamhow did this game turn out to be so kino despite the odds?
>>738397838They did have the classic issue of sometimes being unclear what was a puzzle you were failing to solve, and what was a puzzle you didn't have the tools to do yet.
>>738397313>Maybe it would help to make the world more unique if they did more with the primitive aesthetic that' seems present, as most of what's been shown off hovers around some cookiecutter nature vs corruption motif.Yeah the worldbuilding is really quite dire and generic, Crosscode had much cooler and unique aesthetic.
I just don't see them matching Emilienator. You can't improve upon perfection.
>>738397862>>tranny on the teamI forgot about that oneWas it the one with like 8 names, with one of them being Mohammed, or am I misremembering?
>>738397943>desert>jungle>country side>frozen mountain>bamboo forest at nightReal original and exciting locales. The AD zones look way better. They are an extension of crosscode, not a radical departure.
>>738397862it's almost like "tranny on the team" doesn't say anything about the quality of something and not just something moralityfags get upset by
>>738399071Kill yourself tranny
>>738399391kill yourself turd worlder
>>738399443>not even denying it
>>738399582post your hand, niggerwe already saw the people who spam about trannies on this board all day are niggers like you from brazil
>>738388393I could never get into crosscode.Despite being the greatest indie game ever made it felt very okay.
>>738398937Yeah except for the part where all those biomes were all mixed with modern technology under the hood because it was meant to be an MMO, which was cool and interesting
>>738400053Crosscode has "ancients" AD has "gods" that are functionally the same thing. Contrasting future tech with thenatural setting. You're literally complaining about the lack of something that exists. AD is just better art CC.
After seeing it launched Early Access instead of finished i think i'll put it on the wait list until it has more than 2 or 3 hours of game. i have a few EA games on my wait list now after getting burned on EA games that are still not finished years later.
>>738394048That's why this is an early access, if the puzzles are too easy you can complain and ask them to fix it
>>738400543That's where I'm at. I'll even give 'em $20 out of love for crosscode but I'm not going to slog through the opening act just to get blueballed.
>pixel shart>aping anime artstyle>all those fucking brownsnah I shan't be buying
>>738400543>>738400628Crosscode had the same exact multi year early access period, they literally said they would repeat it too with alabaster dawn
>>738400717Yeah but the difference is I didn't come in on the ground floor for CrossCode, the only waiting I had to do was for the DLC with the actual ending.
>>738400705more money for your hrt, xister
>>738388393I liked the demo, but I'm not really interested in playing an EA version for a story heavy jrpg, especially when they're saying it's going to be years before it's finished. also it's fuckin $25 for 2 out of 7 planned chapters? no thanks!
>>738399707Post shoe on head, timestamped
>>738398937The tweening on models and improved 2.5d maps are super cool. >>738397838I had fun with zooming around them and looking at the setpieces, but I also remember that most of the stuff you'd actually be doing in them amounted to jump pad/barrier puzzles. I just wish the composition was more unique compared to the dungeons, since the latter already did puzzling better.Maybe it's also because the items/equipment in the game aren't that great, but I never felt that good unlocking chests.
>>738388393I'm going to wait until 1.0.
>>738400905>>738393243
>>738394886>and IconoclastsIconoclasts definitely had nowhere near as much dialogue as Crosscode, maybe you just don't like story beats in any 2D game.
Yo wtf? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is the combat still a puzzle in disguise or do enemies take damage when you hit them this time around?
>>738401986The combat is hands down the biggest upgrade over crosscode. Crosscode is unfun to play at every single stage of the game. AD is great right out the gate.
>>738401986Demo was mostly just mash break combo until break, then mash the bonus damage comboI think there was an enemy or two you had to either parry or switch weapons for, but it's pretty brain-off
>>738402207The tutorial dungeon was fun (I mean the second one, inside the game), like a promise of fun things in the future.Then it ends and the gameplay nosedives.
she's cute for a browniehopefully they won't take 5 years to finish this
so... honest question: how infected is it (so far)?
>>738388393The demo didn't really grab me despite being a CrossCode fan and early access puts me off as well. Hopefully it turns into a good game since I'll keep an eye out for 1.0. Maybe I'll finally replay CC and 100% it until then.
>>738404420>First of all, yes, that is my real name!I didn't ask you fucking clown. Your name is completely unimportant. Make a good game you parasitical nigger fellating troon.
>miss a jump>have to backtrack 20 screens to try it againdid they fix this
>>738404595Pro tip, there is nothing of value behind that jump.All the good stuff you buy at the shop.
>>738404420good now i know to not bother with this
>>738404595no, you can still miss your jumps anon, sorry
>>738399071>something moralityfags get upset byI like that you agree that it's an issue of morals
>>738388393Thanks I'm making a manalike I should take a look
crosscode is in my top 10 games ever but that game being early access was a mistake even if I played the full release, there are so many parts where a big climax happens and then it rolls it back where I mentally go "oh this was the big ending before they put the game on hold for 6-14 months", so their next game doing the exact same shit is a shame
>>738406581holy based
>>738388393Is it out for real or is it early access out?
>>738388393yay>eanope
>>738394048>shorter dungeonsnoooooooooo
>>738407448early access, of course
>>738407565Damn. I've got a bit of a backlog anyway, so I suppose this is a good thing for me, but probably not other people.
>>738404595Have you tried getting good?
>>738394048>dungeons are much shorterI fucking hate normalfags
>>738394048Crosscode DLC final fight takes like 15 minutes WITH cheats.
>>738388393Played the demo and loved it. The game just "feels" smooth af and very satisfying to play. I'm gonna go through other games in my backlog and by that time it'll probably be out of EA.
already smells like the best indie game of 2031
>>738408529sex
>>738396086reddit smells like infected/necrotic sugical scars
>>738388393Crosscode was a unique game that deserves some attention, but it's so overrated on /v/. And this is early access.
>>738388393I was excited until I actually played it they didn't learn from crosscode to stop padding with sections that are 5-10x longer than there's any right for it to be. It's alright but this really dilutes the enjoyment in a way that's hard to convey
bump
i have indie game femMC fatiguealso i don't care for the character design in their new game. too much giant floofy hairplayed the demo the other day and the puzzles seem pretty similar, if not simpler, than crosscode
>>738409459The tutorial area definitely sets a bad first impression for this. Even when you know your way through it's about 25 minutes before you're out, way more empty space than it needs and there's nothing that justifies it.
>>738408529Is that a capybara with three tails?
>>738388393is it woke? did anita consult on it?
>>738413519>is it woke?Yes.
>>738388393>early access on a glorified RPG maker gamelmao fuck off
I don't play games where I can only play as women
Crosscode was terrible but it had potential. If you ignored the story, the characters, the puzzles, the combat and progression. You know what I take it back. Hope this game flops.
>>738391396Just from the character design I can already tell the main characters will be lesbians.
>>738414460afraid you like it and become a tranny? god you people are pathetic.
>>738391396fixed
>>738391396>your companion is a capybara on a cloudUnironically Sovless.
>>738414954based
With CrossCode I was expecting an even mix of puzzle, combat, explore. After a point it was just puzzle fetish and repetitive at that. What a disappointment.
this game looks like it was made by AIyou should really try hiring real artists
>>738415318What the actual fuck are you talking about
>>738388393I've said it looks like Terraria Calamity before and I stand by that. And yes it is an indictement, I don't think it's a good look.
>>738414705No I'm gay and I hate women
Getting really sick of the constant capybara slop
>>738416063Name 10 other capybara games
>>738416526I can't
>>738393243"sapphic" is such a hilarious term when you know that sappho of lesbos was straight
>>738416573Well how about that
>>738414041ok, thank you anon
>>738388393>Crosscode 2 is out>5 hours of content>20% of the gameno it fucking isntfuck early access
>>738388393The palette of colors is even tastier than Crosscode'sAnd the movement/combat feel very smoothI'm happy :D
>>738418374YWNBAW btw.
I liked the demo but I'll wait until it's done.>>738404420In the demo there were like 4 white characters among two dozen dark-skinned characters. It was noticeable but it was also the only woke element about it.
>>738419521I don't give a FUCK about skin color, I just care if the girls are hot
>>738414954idgi
>>738419930The area above the tiddy
>>738419716no one as hot as emilie-sophie de belmond SO FAR but i really like the main girl due to my brown tomboy complex and pavlovian response for white hairthere's no one outright ugly either, just average or above average
>>738418374Nigger I look like a neandertal, let me fuck your mom
>>738421909Kek, meant for >>738419306

>>738388393The combat is so fucking good
>>738422064Like most trannies do.
>>738388393i brought because I fucking love crosscode, but not going to play until full release
>>738394048bruh why, i love crosscode code because of how zelda like it felt, why every fucking studio have to shot their fanbase for some motherfuckers that don’t give a fuck.
>>738388393EARLY ACCESSsee you in 3 years
>>738395646not pictured: the 30 earlier attempts since you cant solve that shit on the first try
>>738394048I didn't like the puzzles because they ended up being mind numbing but shortening the dungeons is not preferable
