Welcome to Elderfield has joined the festival. It's actually been playable as a demo for a long time, or as an alpha if you joined the patreon but it's nice to see that it's getting ready to launch. It's a superb horror farming sim, I highly reccomend it.

I find it weird you can't set a client notification for events.
Send all Zelda and TES-likes my way please
Number go up
I tried prison of husks. a bit rough around the edges but the theme of the game is sufficient enough for me to overlook
Lovecraftian Penguin Horror is supposedly getting a demo during this festival, but no promises. Lots of developers can't actually meet deadlines so who knows.
trying to look at hte list of games but its laggy af right now

>>740243912oh it's the umurangi generation guy. I own that but have not gotten around to playing it.
Dark Lessons has a demo up. I actually played it during it's alpha test phase or something so I don't see much reason to try it again. But it's public for all now. Decently hot teacher invites students to her house, promising sex, but to kill them instead, dunno if I'd call it lovecraftian seemed just like normal horror to me.

Staffer Case only good case was Chapter 4, and I'm irrationally angry at Chapter 5 having the MC reject the villain with the speech about the importance of finding the truth, only for the epilogue to reveal it's all bullshit and truth doesn't matter to him anymore, like what was the point of the game then? The sequel seems to go for the same gimmick of "the true ending of each case fucking sucks," so I don't expect anything good from the devs.

demo's not up yet but looks like the SAO game will be in the Fest
>>740243252I thought I was a gameplay-first type of person but scrolling and skipping the queue made me realize that I pay much more attention to visuals than I intiially believed. Was I a graphicsfag all along??

Pretty fun demo if you enjoy top-down zelda likes, especially after I was looking for something to fill the void left behind by Mina's cheesy game.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4145130/ORPHEUS_TO_HELL_AND_BACK/Good thing that this actually looks and feels like a game you'd be able to play on a GBC, props to the devs.I'm retarded and thought Orpheus was a kid icarus clone at first when looking at the cover art. Wishlisted

>>740265298HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS RIGHT.
>>740252884I had high hopes for Yokai Landlord, but sadly the demo fucking sucked. This new game looks like it'll probably be more for the same. I don't know if I'll even bother. Also with Staffer Case Retro demo finally being added to a Next Fest (it's been out for a while iirc), hopefully that means the release date is coming soon. I absolutely adored Staffer Case, and Retro quite frankly looks even better. So I don't want to bother playing the first case, and then be stuck sitting around blue balled for months waiting to play the rest knowing I'll almost assuredly love it.
>>740249886finally an actual game.

>>740262730this one smells like the developer posting his own game. which is fine by me I don't actually care about that sort of thing I'll play whatever the fuck. it's demo festival.
>>740265998>fucking let things cookThat's what the preview threads are for. Cooking. We've got hundreds of demos and Jun 15 to Jun 22 is just 7 days. Even if I could play 10 demos a day, I wouldn't even be able to try half the demos I'd want to try. Do you want demo recommendations on Jun 15 or not? Do you? We're trying demos. Let us cook.

sovl.
>>740267392The algorithm pushes what's popular (ie games for friend groups and streamerbait) rather than what's good for autists with specific tastes.If you want to be lazy and be fed what the masses are attracted to, wait until the very end of the fest to see what things got the biggest numbers. They're the same every fest, meanwhile people who took the time to dig usually come out with at least 5 gems that they liked a lot but are so specific in taste that they'd never find mainstream appeal.

>>740271447well you could have probably figured it out on your own, but whatever, it doesn't have a demo anyway. It's listed on the festival page so one should show up at some point.

>>740276121looks like yet another Genshit clone
>>740275496The first scene in the video looks like Midjourney shit, it gives a bad impression. The others look fine. AI is fine if it looks fine. I liked Golden Idol, so I'll give this a try.
>>740276420You're just kidding around but there's people who actually think like that.
>>740275496Golden idol despite looking like shit had its own style, so to speak. it was grotesque and played into that well, AI slop has no intent or direction behind it. You should just stop posting this trash, you'll save yourself and others a lot of time.
>>740276596I am not just kidding around. Golden Idol has a distinct style, and an authentic one at that.AIslop has not thought or care put into it, just churned out slop to collect a few shekels. It's indicative of a low-effort, low-ambition huckster more concerned with making a buck than creative output.

>>740276886Defending AI slop isn't a personality
There are too many games in these things now. It feels oversaturated and impossible to keep up with. The indie scene needs to be reduced severely.
>>740243252>click themes and moods>stealth>122 results>none of them are stealth games>the very few that i find are babies first unity projectI wasn't fucking around in the past on Next Fest threads when i said indie devs won't touch this genre. It's every time. They literally don't make the games. Whatevers there is too amateur to be taken seriously.

>>740278203You don't even know what good stealth games are when you consider games that are really just shooters to be viable. The indie scene have done absolutely nothing positive or attempted to revive the genre. We're past the point of where they even know what it is. Lizard State might be closer to the ideal game but even the dev stated the length will be short. So it's one of those games that are reduced to 2 hours. Nothing big and ambitious.

>>740276886>Someone hasn't looked at the most AI (slop) users by country.OH NO NO NO AHAHAHAHAHAHA *twenty years pass* HAHAHAHAHA.

>>740244964The marketing pictures from that list look like 2010s casino what r fuck do you call them games on machine art
>>740278525>for babiesYet click on the enemies heads is not for babies? avoiding detection at all costs has more effort involved than getting into fire fights. That's even the case if you play games like Hitman 2 Silent Assassin with the primary goal of achieving all 0s in regards to Close Encounters, bodies found, alerts, bullets fired etc.It's a lesser multiple layered game and standing in plain sight has less going on with it. But if you treat it in a way that refuses confrontation then that's where it's greatest challenge lies in.
>>740278634I unironically use the press preview and these threads to find gems and recommend them to my community with youtube videos. You'd be surprised by the amount of people who actually don't know this link exists or believe that only streamers and journalists can access it, including game devs.

>>740278274>zoomers making chad images insulting games with more effort put into them compared to a low effort derivative rip off of another average indie game from 2012I'm sorry but it will always be shit next to Splinter Cell.

>>740284403im pretty sure I've seen dev sharing screenshots in one of ps1 Harry Potter threads, so yeah, he's from here
>>740243912the atmosphere is pretty good.

Anything lovecraftian?
>>740256660This is accurate, some people like convenience even if it is a trade-off in quality. But then again quality will always advance even in convenience itself through R&D.

>>740283337EMUUROM is a (slightly hacked) TIC-80 game, so that's not surprising. All these fantasy console things are deliberately minimalist.That said, I'm still fucking pissed EMUUROM released incomplete. "Not yet" my ass.
>>740286734Wait, it did? I put it down after the first ending because I didn't feel like looking for all the butterflies but planned to get back to it. It's not done?
>>740256660>-garlicWhat the actual fuck
>>740286802The butterflies aren't even mandatory. You can keep playing if you'd like, you're only about 33% finished.But after you get the four colors and [nil], STOP. The gray ending is unimplemented. Multiple people managed to multi-frame-perfect-movement-tech their way into the relevant room and it's just a big "Not Yet" written in tiles.That said, I would actually recommend the game, it scratched the itch for another Environmental Station Alpha type game.
>>740287134Sorry, aren't mandatory except for the green ending. My bad. The interesting one is Blue.
>>740287134Oh. I don't know anything about specific color endings. I got the red one and the only thing I can tell to do for more endings is to get the butterflies since the cat was whining about it. I'll just re-explore then and figure things out.
>>740287276Did you, uh, skip the credits roll during red? It kind of gives explicit instructions. Have you found the clovers yet? Been paying attention to the background tiles?
>>740287108It's supposed to be a negative prompt I think. So she's explicitly saying no garlic on it.
>>740287332None of that rings a bell. Guess I'm dumb.
>>740272656>says english is not supported>the intro shows game is in englishonly demo is translated?
>>740256660This comic is missing the AI tard saying "I made this, I am the world's greatest chef" in the third panel
>>740287430I mean, it's pretty distinctive. There's a "song" that plays during the red ending after you escape and the lyrics are basically hint central.Maybe it doesn't play if you haven't scanned enough shit. I don't know. Do red again after scanning more stuff. Reminder that you do in fact have to scan all the duplicates.
Gunstoppable looked cool at first glance for a fast-paced FPS, but the sound design and voice acting during the trailer completely killed my hype.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3724710/Gunstoppable/No demo yet so maybe the gameplay will make up for those (doubtful since roguelite) but who knows.

>>740287657Inverted World. Do you think it's Japanese or something? It's Chinese.
Game devs should stop using AI to promote their games, two times now I'm almost scrolling past something that actually looked decent but had absolutely shitty capsule/splash art. Somoene needs to tell them that this shit kills sales
>>740245767>All AI-generated content has been reviewed and curated by the development team to ensure quality, consistency, and compliance with our artistic direction.You know it's good shit when they have to brag that they looked at the generated assets at least once before slapping them into the shovelware and uploading to Steam
>>740287732Most of you aren't selling games on Steam made out of AI assets that you aren't disclosing and thinking people won't notice.
>konmari method: the gamesoulful puzzle stuffhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4430400/Little_Backpack/
>>740288027It's also silly because "we checked for quality" is about as reliable as any retard saying they checked the quality of an AI translation. You're not qualified to say that, faggot.
Not my type of game at all since it seems to be a turn-based JRPG, but I think people who enjoy manga like Ushio To Tora might enjoy this demo because that's what I first thought of when seeing ithttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4198610/A_Fighters_Nova_Mindara/
There are two different games titled "Maid Cafe Simulator" this fest and neither of them are actually Japanese.
I didn't know /k/ made a game.
>>740288231Played through until level 8, went through three permutations then uninstalled. The entire game pretty much feels like it boils down to 'hope you guessed the exact arrangement correctly' and if you didn't then you may as well just restart the entire level.
>>740289129I dropped it due to UI bugs but I think a good level design strategy would be to segment levels with obvious few spots for a large piece of equipment, then have the player arrange smaller pieces in the rest of the space.

This one's 1.82GB but also has a EULA like that. What the fuck, man
>>740289771Meant to reply to >>740273078
>>740289771That's definitely fucking weird for a no warranty clause. Even with a no warranty clause, you're typically still possible to get on criminal negligence or a CFAA violation or if you insert malware.I'd delete that shit right now if I were you.
>>740289867Thankfully the EULA shows up before you start the download. As far as I can tell, it's a real game, but fuck that.
>>740289771If it's DigiPen, you can probably trust them.They're the gamedev college that spat out Perspective, the Portal 1 & 2 prototypes, etc.
>>740286474Scratch thatARE there boomer shooters that are also roguelikes?
First time I've ever removed a game from my wishlist after playing a demo but after playing that Demo I have zero faith in it.
Any horror game
>>740291209This was me last year with Mina the hollower, I unwishlisted the game after trying the demo. I couldn't believe how bad that game was. Turns out it's because I played with the whip mace weapon which was complete shit. I then played the full version and picked the hammer. Turned a 3/10 game into a 9/10 game
>>740243252who is the Next Fest Freak......?
this sounds interestinghttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4114260/lilys_world_XD_Demo/
>>740243252Steam please stop recommending me 'Pronoun Palace' I'm not playing it.
>>740291929How about NTR Tales - The Elf Next Stream?
>>740290583I did not know that. That's neat. And I guess the EULA is for when their students make a game that goes haywire. But still, my curiosity disappeared so I've passed on the game.

Hellslave 2's demo was breddy gud but I still have my issues with it.>+More or less the same game when it comes to combat, but you have two regenerating crystals for health and mana that you can use mid fight to restore stuff. You can wait to skip one tick of fatigue, and there's also a 2 second defense move you can use to mitigate 65% of incoming damage. I feel this gives combat a lot of thought and depth and I'm really happy with it.>+My mage build was really fun compared to my Hellslave 1 leviathan run. Space time compression+chain lightning was a fairly fun time.>+I like that you can avoid enemies until later and figure out what their combinations are on the overworld.>~Ambivalent towards the removal traps/chests/shrines from the first game.>-Much like HS1 even on hard it becomes a very easy cakewalk where your brain is turned off until you get to the minibosses/bosses which are really fun.>-While more immersive, needing to manually move your character within towns and dungeons becomes a slog especially once you've cleared out an area especially since you can't speed it up.>-Game speed=fast is still really slow, especially with the wolves that go through their "spectral form->attack" phase.>-I feel like the artstyle has lost something compared to the first game. The first game was extremely oppressive and dark, the demons looked like something out of your nightmares especially with the descriptions of points of interests during the dungeon. Here it just feels like a darker fantasy game so far.All in all reminds me why I don't want to play next fest demos because I play something, enjoy it and end up wanting it NOW.
>>740291725funny, I dropped the game after 20 minutes with the hammer. didn't sign up for a soulslike with zelda controls.
>>740252512Tragic
>>740249886Oh a SCUMM type game
>>740251819Nice, this is really useful
Any raising sims? ideally that actually go through a decent chunk of a childhood instead of a few months of childhood and then suddenly a teenager like Magical Princess recently, also I would like my stats to actually matter before the ending itself, which is something magical princess really dropped the ball on.Any VR puzzle games in the vein of the I expect you to die series?
>>740246459Man after asking for raising sim demos I thought oh I should try ctrl f it and got excited for a momentwhat a shame
>>740281062I kept meaning to play this on itch but never did, is the steam version any different?

You might recognize this guy as the one who created The Drifter. It's actually been available on itch for a while, but it looks like they are bringing to steam and probably going with a "chapter one is free like life is strange but you pay for the rest" kind of deal. Or maybe the whole thing will be free, who knows, that's what the Lumina Veil guy is going to do.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2840000/Lumina_Veil
What's the least retarded way to actually go through the entire catalog? Just go by genres one by one? From the stuff posted in these threads I always get the impression Steam is hiding shit from me
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4666660/POPIRORAI/Most of the sound effects in this game and all the music are a capella. Too much soul. It's irritating.
>>740297814tons. the wishlist is mostly for unreleased stuff I am watching for. like 80% unreleased.
>>740297814ALL of these are unreleased games.
>>740300071The secrets of searching the next fest are only known to a few. The rest just get filtered by shovelware and give up.
PASS. next demo
Spooky games that aren't walking sims and racing are my jam which makes these events a real pain in the backside to filter through.
This one looked kind of interesting but I am pretty sure I had a sci-fi version of the same idea on my wishlist somewhere that did a better job.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3905170/Castles__Castellans/I went and checked my list and found it:https://store.steampowered.com/app/367270/Angels_Fall_First/

Saw this posted in a /v dev thread, but demo not found
>>740302209It's a demo and it's his first try. He might make it better by the time launch rolls around.
What does Steam want to access? I don't think it needs anything to access, it's just a webstore.
