Kinda sad Penny's big breakaway bombed, I thought it was pretty neat, and the ost was awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xisJrmdscIk&list=PLGUhHjXkJ_UJviN1pi4fbnfWxHkGfM302

>>740465019It's a very biden-era game and couldn't shake that baggage.
>>740465019Took me like a half hour to get to the control scheme and after that I didn't want to play anymore.
it sucked actually hehe
>>740465431What does that mean?
I really liked it. Lacking a little polish, but the core game mechanics are fun. I had a better time with it than Odyssey.
It's a pretty cool game. Could've been better though. I wish they did more distinctive set pieces. When thinking about sonic levels you can instantly go "this is the one with x" but a lot of levels blend together in penny's game. Show me the bubblin levels without the title cards for example and I wouldn't be able to tell you which ones specifically they were, they're just "the bubblin levels" in my head.BTW balearic birds in the best track hands down.
The game desperately needed some incentive to go for high scores and combos because the trick system was just as robust as the movement.
>>740465019She's fucking ugly. If he wanted people to buy his game, he should've made her fapworthy. Ain't nobody gonna even try that game with that ugly retarded looking character.
>>740465019Brown jester granny is kind of a shit character design tbqh.
>>740465726The creators made it while believing in the biden regime and catering toward the audience they believed was there and the sort of design decisions (ie forced diversity.) that were popular in the industry at the time. We're still experiencing the effects of this but it's why this game never really landed.
>>740466167>balearic birds in the best track hands downbased taste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRW77Z6YbTs&list=RDoRW77Z6YbTs&start_radio=1
>>740466764I think she's cute
>>740466962Yeah nobody else does.
>>740465019Devs shouldn't have made such an ugly looking character then.
Is her design really that bad? I think it's alright. I think the bigger problem is the lack of interest in speed/momentum based 3D platforming that isn't Sonic.
>>740465019Her eyes bothers me a lot.
>>740467065>Is her design really that bad? I think it's alright.The only part I don't like is the sharp diamonds that overlap her eyes, other than that I think she's cute. Why all the hate?
Hate her design.Having to take a death or restart the level to retry NPC objectives was obnoxious.Scoring system was uninteresting and felt at odds with both level design and intuitive go-fast gameplay.The billiards boss was cool.
>>740467228Molly Mcgee look
why does Penny's design not work for you guys while Hat kid does?
>>740467475hat kid white child UUUUOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHpenny brown :poopemoji:
>>740467257It's the same guy, he's been like this since the game launched. Kinda crazy a simple character still makes him seethe to this day.
>>740467314ok but what if
>>740467546They shouldve made her into Pomni.
I absolutely love how integral the terrain is to the gameplay. A lot of movement/momentum platformers let you just fly over everything off of your raw abilities, even sonic went this way in 3D with the adventure spindash and later boost just being so good you rarely care about using the natural terrain for speed gain/conservation. In penny's game you pretty much always need to be hitting slopes or ramps to get anywhere fast.Wish they went further with it though. There's that huge halfpipe in moltobene that you can get insane speed off of and they never do anything like that again. Anyway though yeah what do you expect? Everyone's said it already, penny's ugly. Whole game's ugly to be honest. Then if someone actually does decide to look past the visuals and give it a try they instantly get filtered because the way to move fast in this game is not immediately intuitive. When I played the game for the first time I spent most of the first level running on foot as penny. I don't know if evening star's ever gonna make another game like this but they really gotta address this. Initial impressions are key.
>>740467676Unironically that would've saved this game. Everyone I know who's seen TADC wants to fuck pomni. Legit the sex icon of modern animation I would say.
>>740467613very weird way to behave>>740467670Took me a minute to notice the change. I guess it's a bit better
>>740467796>Everyone I know who's seen TADC wants to fuck pomni. Legit the sex icon of modern animation I would say.
>>740467796nah she's been overthrown, no one cares about clussy anymore
>>740465019The game was dead when the mc design was chosen, what a disaster.>>740467475If i had to keep to 3 things>eye shape, Hat kid is normal>baggy clothes hide the thin noodle limbs and make hat kid look normal>color coordination, similar 2 tones but hat kid keeps it simple while Penny is in that foul jester that makes the colors clash fit+the red splashes look bad>>740467546Not even that, photoshop Penny white and she still looks awful.
please explain exactly why this bitch is more appealing than this bitch >>740467836 without using words like woke shit
>>740468013she isn't that's why every artist draws her off-model with a gigantic ass
I like weird eye shapes though
>>740468013the proper jester outfit is pure sex and she doesn't have ugly granny hair.
>>740468013Shes a good neutral mc, good facial expressions with a little circus spice
>>740468013Hairstyle and eye shape is better.
>>740468013It's the eyes and headshape plus the hat not being whatever retarded wingcap penny is wearingso many people have said it but it really is mostly the eyes, pennies eyes look fucking retarded
I'm not playing a game that looks like visual colorful vomit
>>740468013shes bouba instead of kiki
>>740468310>>740468391I think the actual shape of the eyes is fine, the problem is the weird spiky diamond things that come one it. Remove those and I wouldn't mind them
>design a much more attractive female character>make her the villain's ex and give her like 20 seconds of screen timewhat were they thinking?
>>740468013I can tell what Pomni is visually. Her eyes and body shape make sense. Penny's eyes are weird looking, her limbs are not proportionate to get body, and I don't even know what she's supposed to be. A cat? A pharaoh? A human? Pomni is just a silly little jester
>>740467475Simple and sensible vs busy and nonsensicalIf you told me Penny's silhouette was chosen by spilling a box of building blocks on the floor I'd believe you
>>740468353devs be like
I don't understand what the diamonds under her eyes are supposed to be.
>entire thread is nothing but talking about penny's designdoes anyone here actually play video games?
>Kinda sad Penny's big breakaway bombedPenny is an abomination and normalfags don't give a shit about 3D platformers unless they are by Nintendo, especially indie ones.
>>740468814Platformers live and die based on the MC’s design, it’s important
>>740468814why would i play a game where the mc has a dogshit design? i'm gonna need to stare at that for the entire game.
>>740468814I'm not playing a game with an ugly MC. Simple as
>>740468893>normalfags don't give a shit about 3D platformers unless they are by Nintendo, especially indie onesbubsy 4D was a critical success though
>>740468909
>>740468936It flopped harder than even Crash 4.
>>740469054Notice how Anon said *critical* success, not financial success. That means people who played it liked it, not that it sold well.
Speaking of indies, when is her game coming out?
>>740469178literally who?
>>740469043this actually just made me look up penny on some boorus and wow she has barely any porn. i actually don't think i've ever seen a female vidya protagonist have such little porn. Genuinely no one likes her lol.
>>740469043Somehow this made me like her less
Goddam you guys hate this poor little jester so much
>bombedDid it, actually, or was it just not a massive mega hit?
>>740469220Lightspeed lina
>>740469484The devs had to lay off staff, sadly.
>>740469484I think it did sadly. I did hear Evening Star had to layoff some people at some point and it was delisted from the Xbox store as well iirc (don't have an Xbox though, I got the game on PS5)
>>740469043>still dislike her with the clothing changeMaybe it is just the eyes.
>>740468507she looks like a fluffy sheep.
From the steam reviews sounds like they they shipped a broken product
>>740468013Penny has those weird diamonds in her eyelids and her hair gives evil grandma vibes.
>>740469538footage actually looks like a pretty good sonic generations successor. would play
>>740469220Sex
>>740468507>>740469696yeah here she's kind of cute actually
>>740466962This smug reaction image only works if you found success
>>740468013Pomni doesn't have makeup clipping into her eyeballs and round circle eyes are appealing
>>740469178>it's been 5 years since I heard about thisProbably never. Dev should let me wishlist it on Steam so I stop forgetting about it.
>>740465019>works on sonic for decades, a series whose only saving grace is the art direction + character designs >decide to make your own original IP>creates the most visually unappealing game ever madeLife is a comedy.
>>740466962>Eyes are not even the same shapeYou lost
>>740465431>>740466850take your meds /pol/ shitter
>>740465019She looks absolutely fucking horrendous.
>>740470507by interacting you are inviting more /pol/shitting. and that is assuming, generously, that you aren't the same poster trying to start shit again.
It's the eyes.The character's eye shape looks retarded.Could have sold 10x more if a more competent character artist designed the protagonist.
>>740469979>smug it's more of a judgy expression
>>740470351sonic eyes look retarded too
she looks cute in a down syndrome kind of way
>>740465019I get shes suppose to be a Jester girl but the design is strange and didn't catch on.Kinda hard to make r34 of her.
>>740469178Who knows. Until then, in the loser's brackets it stays.
>literally turned down Mania 2 to make thisNo idea how the sonic fandom didn't hang and quarter these retards for that
>>740471831rollin rascal made $240,000? wtf that game looked like shit.
>>740471885that's actually based. whitehead wanted to make an original sonic game and the faggots at sonic team made him slap in all the retro zones (worst parts of mania). so it's good to see him break free and just make what he wanted to make this time.
post redesigns
>>740465019>>740468934And Penny suffers from worse things than a stupid character design. During the game she doesn't talk and rather she communicates with irritating sound effects think like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_du5Dw_HYuQSo Penny looks stupid and is a mute character who makes annoying sounds to communicate. Even Crash Bandicoot dodged this by simply dedicating himself to being mute.
If only the designs weren't butt ugly and the color schemes weren't eye gougingly horrid
>>740468013That's clearly a clown. I'm not sure Penny is a clown or even a human. She's wearing clownish clothes but no clown makeup, the hat looks more like a pirate or musketeer, she has gray hair but doesn't look old, she has a red nose but it doesn't look like a clown nose.
>>740465019Why is she so ugly?
>>740470351It's not the most visually unappealing Sonic knockoff, we have this guy dragging the curve down
>>740472028Broke free and made a shit game. The success of Mania meant they could have easily had some pull and say in Mania 2 having more original new zones.We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Mania. We had 2D sprites. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could’ve shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man. If you’d done your job, known your place, we’d all be fine right now!
>>740467908I don't know any if these things and can tell you the clown is far cuter. That chick just looks frumpy
>>740472792*of Sorry
>>740472763>>740469178Crazy that both their games have actual slope physics in 3D which is something Sonic himself just can't do anymore for some reason. Sega is retarded.
>>740469178I predict Lake will finish his F-Zero clone and release a new Spark game before her game comes out
every single frame of this game looks like color vomitno highs, no lows, no contrast, just CMYK everywhere from someone that doesnt derstand "le 90s"
>>740475049also it looks more mario64 movementslop than sonic
>>740468525It feels like she was meant to be the true final boss until they ran out of budget/time
>>740465019Kind of crazy how much of a Sonic fan the creator is, and how he neglected one of the most important parts of Sonic: Visual appeal.But that's what you get when you copy the shitty visuals of Sonic CD, Knuckles Chaotix, and Ristar. Instead of the impeccable visuals of Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
>>740476475Knuckles chaotix had amazing visuals but i dont know how you would even make that in 3d without it looking shitty
>>740475049not really, it's just another DKC3 situation where they made all the worst levels in the game also be the game's first impression. The rest of the game looks a lot better than the first world
>>740472763He looks bad, but is also so simple that it's passable if you played Sonic GT.Penny is still the absolute most wtf design.
This shit is like 50 bucks, wtf. No wonder it bombed
>>740468431i hate that this is LITERALLY the answer.soft jester vs pointy granny
>>740468431
>>740478646Pomni has a small tasteful amount of kiki with her bouba
>>740468431Sonic is bouki. Round in the front and spiky behind.Pikachu (og) is also round in the front and has a zaggy tail behind.Is this the secret to iconic character design?
>>740479635business in the front, party in the back
>>740471831>freedom Planet deadDang, i thought they were one of the better Sonic clones. Shame.
>>740471831Sparkchads stay winning
>>740479635Why dont sega use him instead of modern sonic who has one of the most unappealing designs
>>740467475aryan queen. She would make the reich proud
i have Jester fatigue.
>>740481630kill jester
>>740465019Her design is stupid as hell
>>740481029Freedom Planet 2 was an absolute nightmare in development and the creator went completely insane during it, apparently acted abusive toward another major dev and made them work for free? I don't know all the details and I don't know if the end product of FP2 is good or not, but what I do know is we're never ever getting a third after that
>Looknup gameplay video>Tons of stage gimmicks scattered around the world>But movement system practically begs you not to engage with any of it >The best course of action is to just spam your air tricks and air stalls to skip over everything Nice game
>>740465019ugliest character awardkilled half the studio awarddesigned by studio art lead which means he didn't get fired but all the other artists got to eat shit for his retardation
>>740481409They did, his game bombed and the Open World modern Sonic with the ugliest art direction known to man was extremely successful.
>>740465019For some reason the game was bugged for me and I couldn't get past the main menu. Didn't want to waste time trouble shooting since my PC is very powerful so it's most likely the game's fault so I just refunded it.
>>740465019It's incredibly ugly and the artstyle perpetually reminds me of the German "draw anime" book.
>>740465019I think them advertising it with all the jumping tech and speedrun movement stuff really killed it, the main character's design also didn't help obviouslyit is what it is, I respect them for making the game they wanted to make and not caving in to mainstream appeal at least
>>740481818Which game had ova sonic, CD? Surely he deserves a new chance in 3D...
>>740482653How the fuck did they even ship this
>Let's base the aesthetic of our game on Treasure, you know, that developer infamous for their weird looking, ugly games that all bombed You gotta respect the integrity. I actually think Penny herself isn't too bad, but the bosses are incredibly hideous
>>740469178This one is progressing, it's just slow as hell.
>>740482653I get not understanding the anime style, but the eyes tilting like that is hilarious since that wouldn't be considered good in any style.
I love herhttps://wimg.rule34.xxx//images/7234/e8a560a2afbe2c5bba5269f6f22a295c.png
>>740472763Not sure what I would do to this one, main issue is just the head is a bit bulbous and the line down the center makes him look like he's balding a bit.>>740483985It's certainly brave. Although I do like some of their characters like Headdy.>>740488309I'm shocked this exists
The dev team has been silent for 8 months.
>>740467475Because she's 60% Toon Link
>>740471831Sonic and Meat Boy sounds like an interesting combo, I'll have to look at that one.
>>740488625She has some decent r34, they're just never brought up
>>740488309Actually really cute art
>>740482653I look like this
>>740490078I do remember a prototype image where she looked almost exactly like Toon Link but I can't find it.
>>740489950They're doing something with an anime-esque art style last I heard, it was in a job listing.
>>740465019Should have kept the mouth hidden and made it a bomberman like design instead.
>>740491307I think that would've made the design less popular because characters with no mouths are less expressive, but with the right design it can work.I think the main issue is that people in the west just don't really have as firm of a grip on what "cute and endearing" looks like.
Wasn't Sonic Mania 2, so no buy. Simple as.>>740472028Based indeed. So based they thought they could coast off their developer name and discord hugbox instead of learning how to market their game properly and maybe learn how visual design works. I don't know if ES is doing anything else now but they learned a lesson from this game flopping.Better get back to the drawing board.
>>740490941
>>740492101Yeah, that. lol
>>740465019Honestly I feel the same way with The Big Catch and it's not even out yet.Not even the demo which is like an excellent 8 hours long prologue managed to get people on board, I can only imagine how much it will bomb when the actual game comes out.
>>740465431Stealing this for (you) farming
I a good OST over the character designshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fBF3_omL8
>>740492495The design is fine no one wants fishing games.
The gameplay had too high of a skill floor but no one wants to admit that.
>the people who made sonic mania were just hacks riding off nostalgia and an already existing IP brand recognition Curious
>>740493081you didn't play the game
>>740465431fucking kek
>>740493192Yeah, not enough people did that.I wonder why…
hourglass body
>>740468013The colors on Pomni are better
>>740466167>>740466884>BTW balearic birds in the best track hands down.yeah i think balearic birds is my fav one too although i do also really like gig's on, penny
>>740468013Pomni has a better body shape, recognisable jester hat, round cute face and simplistic hair meanwhile Penni as a bunch of weird square shapes that make her body, some weird hat a hair that I don't even know how to explain and her face is this weird squashed circle that gets dominated by her super huge eyes
It's actually kind of hard to explain this game.I like 3D platformers where the camera is kind of locked at a certain angle, like Mario 3D Land/ World. This game should have appealed to me, but I have absolutely no desire to try it.Then, I checked the prices, and the game was pretty expensive at launch, plus everyone was complaining about bugs, with some openly saying the game was pretty broken at launch.So it was a mix of unfortunate things: a game that already had a somewhat unappealing vibe, with a price that was way too high for the product, and a launch that was too broken to be taken seriously.
>>740488309gosh it really is that fugly yellow and blue outfit isn't it
You'd think with how much the developers understand the appeal of Sonic, they'd understand that Penny's design is unappealing.
>>740494129I think one of the issues with making a Sonic-like game is that making a Sonic-like *character* as well is just a bridge too far. Spark or Rascal comes the closest, some of the other ones in this thread have some of his DNA but actively avoid trying to be like him.
I don't like Tee Lopes' music
>>740493768>I like 3D platformers where the camera is kind of locked at a certain angle, like Mario 3D Land/ World.I recommendSackboy: A Big AdventureSmurfs DreamsSuper Meat Boy 3D
I genuinely can't tell if people actually think Penny's truly ugly or are just exaggerating. Personally I think she's fine but not appealing enough to be a protagonist because of her abstract design. Whereas Hat Kid or Pomni are very straight-forward to understand.On a scale of 0 (Concord) to 10 (Hat Kid) how does she rank?
>>740494321I like his music, but the other guy who worked on the game's tracks are way better.
>>740494458I think her 3D model turned out pretty ugly, even though the original design wasn't necessarily that bad.
>>740494321I like what I've heard, much more than the Hyper Potions style of chip tune music that was in the intro video of Mania.
>>740494321I don't like Gundam
>>740472429cute chinese yo-yo grandma
>>740493081And yet they made the best Sonic game of the past decade
>>740494321What are you some kinda homo or something?
>>7404944583D penny is a 42D penny is a 7, potentially higher in fanart
>>740494436all shit.
>>740477256Does DKC3 get good?
>>740495768yes, almost immediately after the subpar first world. It's personally my 2nd favorite Donkey Kong game
>>740469043Even with less it's still not all that.
>>740490938I'm glad they saved you from that burning building you must've been in
pomni is a lesbian btw
>>740497283nice
>>740497283i should trans to be with her...
>>740465019I cannot tolerate the color-blind palette.
From what I've seen about this game, the real issue is that it doesn't know what kind of 3d platformer type of game it wants to be. It has Mario 64 kind of sections where you're supposed to explore at your own pace and find things to do, but it also has this weird Sonic speedrun kind of feeling where you're meant to beat levels as quickly as possible by optimizing routes. Each inclusion makes the other part worse.
>>740497867The sections where you have to help out NPCs are fundamentally at odds with:A) the negative feedback the player gets when not even failing, just refusing to engage with the contentB) the fact that the game has things like a timer visibleIt's like, am I supposed to clear the stage quickly or not?
>>740468431Which one is supposed to be better?I imagine this has to do with Shape Language in character design
>>740465431Gaming in the Clinton years

Horrible character design ruined it.
>>740481630Are there even that many?
>>740472763He needs to either drop the gloves or change the head to something that makes it look like he has hair.
>>740499383There's a pink character in that game that has a little bit of hair on the forehead and it does wonders for the design.
>>740500670Would the game have sold better if this was a mechanic?
>>740465431What are some peak Bush-era games?
>>740465431this doesn't even mean anything
>>740500896BullyMGS3RE4andPokemonRubyandWarcraft3
>>740500730It would've made me happier
>>740502063>instead of a yo-yo she rolls around on the roundness of her asswe have a new character concept here boys feel free to snap it up.
>>740467475Her design is infinitely more readable and appealing to look at because its color scheme and concept are easier to parse.If her design needs a variation, all the designers need to do is change the hat as well, it's the design's most prominent feature.
>>740465431Holy based and trvthpilled.
>>740492495I think the issue is the protag of the regular game is kinda of a weenie, the protag of the demo is much better, the setting of the demo also feels more mysteriousNow why people didn't play it is because it is pretty mechanically front loaded and many people will get filtered by it
>>740503959It is kind of a demanding game immediately.I only recall playing it for a little while even though I did enjoy it.Still looking forward to the eventual release though despite the weird fetish controversy this game has.
>>740468013Pomni's 'I'm going FUCKING crazy' faces in the first three episodes basically carried the show, they did the Midna thing of zero-appeal body, A++ appeal facial expressions. Funnily you probably wouldn't be able to get away with mixing the best of both since it would come off as pornographic, like an ahegao hoodie.
>>740465019The only complaint I heard about this game is that they ruined Beebz' model (looks fine to me) so I guess mascot platformer character design is actually super important.
>>740504970wrong game GEEK
>>740465019it lost to project nortubel
>>740502723S-sold..
>>740505083fact status: true
>>740471035The war was lost before it began. They can simply pretend to be their marks and then flood the fucking shit out of every social media space.
>>740504970Funny thing is that to me it's the opposite. The first game's model looked fine in screenshots but her jumping animations always looked awkward to me. The sequel has a model that looks more like someone who would run and jump all over the place, I like it way more.
>>740465019Wanted to get it but fuck me is the protags design just hot garbage.
>>740467475Hat Kid is a normal human wearing a cape and a top hatPenny is a weird mishmash of 3D shapes resembling a human but still bizarre enough in construction to be offputting
>>740465019Honestly one of the last decent games I've played. Definitely not perfect but it's probably the most I replayed a 3D platformer since Sonic Unleashed. The cutscenes and boss battles held it back.
>>740504730>Midna thing of zero-appeal bodybruh
>>740510993That guy is off his rocker, Midna has been a shortstack goblin waifu for ages now.This: >>740508000 is a zero appeal body, although that's not an issue for a boss character I 'spose.
>>740506468she's a yoyo
>>740475049>no highs, no lows, no contrastIt's definitely a problem. And >>740477256 isn't any better as the only contrast is with the starry sky.
>>740481029Well, that's what happens when you sequel bait in the 2nd game and never follow up on it. That's ignoring how the 1st game is missing content from it's crowdfunder goals.The series is incomplete ergo dead.
>>740465019Because Penny is ugly and not main character material, the gameplay is also very janky and weird
>>740471831>windweavernever even heard of that one, interesting.I like how Shadow is listed when its debatable whether or not its really a spinoff.
>>740465019Imagine if it were Pomni’s Big Breakaway
>>740466962You’re just saying that to be different and stand out. Stop lying to yourself.
>>740467475Looks like a PBS Kids character
>>740514104>>740516031She can be hot
>>740465019For me the biggest flaw was that the yo-yo was annoying to ride.
>>740517060skill issue
>>740516809But she isn't and it really isn't like we're in a drought of brown tomboy pussy.
>>740479493I chuckled
>>740516809She can!?Oh wait, there are lava levels in the game... you win this round.
I think this game would’ve bombed even if it had sonic himself as the protagonist.At a casual level, this game is ass. You know how literally every sonic-like game lets you go fast just by running? Uh yeah not here. No you have to play an autistic game of “the floor is lava” if you want speed. Then even if you do get into the speed tech you realize that you’re still moving way slower than any other sonic-like offers and that you’re going through wholly uninteresting levels. It’s like a solid 4/10.
>>740521867Hm, something's different about this picture
>>740494596Wow the 3d model is so chopped, makes sense why it looks so uncanny now
>>740465431so stupid, this post had me holleringi'll be using this as bait from now onthank you anon
>>740465019I can't believe you thought that track would prove your point about the soundtrack being awesome.
THE YOTAGONIST
>>740497283Bisexual at worst leaning towards men. Though Jax died
>>740528457Never watched TADC but I've heard a bunch of times in different threads that Jax turned trans in the finale, and transbians are the most wholesome chungus kind of lesbians
>>740528640I watched the leak myself with I don't speak spic and asked a friend br friend to translate. It's just seems to be lukewarm daddy issues and him thinking he injured his mother cause he lashed out at her. The episode in it's entirely is a copout though because "turns out you're just copies and your real selves lived their lives normally while you were stuck here, also fuck you, you can't fix the corrupted" and then it ends with a slideshow of their real selves social media because they now have access to the internet for some reason.
>>740528640>people were shocked that the show made by a tranny was in fact a trans allegory in the end
>>740490596Source?
>>740469178Never but that’s usual for indie sonics tits or no
>>740467796kek zoomers are a failure
>>740536982Stop being mean
>>740465019Who looked at that final design and said, Yep, we are gonna be iconic.
>>740467796>>740536982I posted a raggedy ann picture on my le tumblr blog and it got hundreds and hundreds of likes and reblogs even though all the rest of my posts in total have maybe 10 likes altogether.apparently there's a raggedy ann knockoff in that circus show so the OG is popular with the zoomies now too
>>740467908No fair, shes a latina, AND a cat girl.This HAS to be cheating
>>740538946 Cat
>>740467475Thats just Toon Link with a hat and dyed hair.
>>740538946>bare crotchAnon this is a blue board
>>740539578No way someone is drawing this
>>740538594That didn’t care because they assumed self proclaimed gamers would care more about the actual gameplay.
>>740539537Speaking of..Man, animal character designs gotta be so freeing to work with. Dont gotta worry about being stopped cause 'hurr 2 sexy'. >Q&A said they had to tone down some Mina the hollower characters because they were too sexyWHO is lookin at pixels and going "AWOOGA We cant be allowed to do this!'.
>>740539904Really? She seems pretty reasonable.
>>740533813He doesn’t have it he’s going to fuck with you and make you feel bad
>>740539778>assumed self proclaimed gamersThey should have assumed turning around and looking at the front art would give the assumption that people would think this art looks like its from a game from the early 90s they cant play anymore.It looks dated in the worst way, uninteresting.Also consider that 'gamers' have tons of choices to play and why should they play (Insert game here).
>>740539710they're old pics
>>740539904They probably meant key art of them not the actual pixel sprites. They're too low resolution to be sexy at all.
>>740539778Ugly design is a big red flag marked "Dev Doesn't Know How to Make Good Decisions" and so is the endless Odyssey mid-air bouncing. Maybe PBB is a good game that somehow manages to look like crap in all gameplay footage but somehow I doubt it.I can only remember one protagonist nearly that ugly being in a good game and it's Drill Dozer
>>740465019>30$ platformerEeehhhh...There's a lot of competition that is cheaper.
>>740541304>and so is the endless Odyssey mid-air bouncingThis is the end result of basically any movement focused platformer, especially ones that want you to go fast.PBB is actually one of the less egregious examples of it. You can’t stay in air long nor get a good air launch from a stand still. You can’t even gain that much speed from a stand still. You really have to use slopes to get any real speed or distance in the first place and you need to constantly land and find another slope to keep any momentum going.
>>740468507The dumb cell hat is the problem, she actually looks cute in that picture without it
>>740539904I think Mina is cute in fanart but her official on-model design does literally nothing for me, she isn't feminine in the slightestEven your image isn't fully on-model and presents her as more feminine by giving her eyelashes that she doesn't have officially
>>740468814Because in a visual medium, the first thing you've to do is to make your main character look decent as minimum since you're gonna stare at it for at least 20+ hrs, Japan and other Eastern countries understand this, western media in general doesn't and mind you this isn't exclusive to vidya, one of the reason why nobody watches western cartoons is because of how ugly their artstyles are such as calarts
>>740542134Does that get you goin’
>>740471831Bubsy needs an update since 4d released
>>740542539in a cosmic sorta way
>>740542542I’d love some additional content for that. Fun game but hard to recommend due to the price
>>740544289They should just port the demon tides levels to it and vice-versa
>>740544289>>740544750neither of those games are good
>>740465019Unironically all this game needs is a Midna or Rouge big tiddy shortstack mod for the MC and it'd unflop it. Or if Evening Star just made a massive tiddy shortstack OC. It's free advise and they should take it and run. It's the only way to turn things around and it's basically zero effort.
>>740544930Slapping tits on a game increases the review score 1 point
>>740544821Tides was good.
>>740546413>5 billion moves so you never have to interact with the level design>protag looks like a roided midget>shitty wind waker open sea that just wastes your time between levelsyeah no.
>>740545164Yeah but what about bigger tits? Checkmate.
>>7405480121.5 points
>>740465431TRVKE
>>740548012Too big
>>740469430We're the only ones who still talk about her game so we're allowed to>>740469721I phased through the geometry to my death on a couple occasions, it's easier than you'd think. Beyond that I don't recall any other technical issues.
>>740551814sad but true
>>740469430Probably true, these threads have become routine to some extent.
>>740542005It looks more like something an archer would wear rather than a performer, just all around odd.
>>740465431People who don’t get it really don’t get anything
>>740540290So you too have been down this path
I would fuck her
I'd like to see you do better
>>740465431Sad but true.
>>740465439Literal skill issue
>>740465019It's a goddamn tragedy soulful games like these don't sell while poorly designed ugly trash like Pseudoregalia sells like hotcakes just because the protag is safe horny female furbait. I fucking hate you people with a passion.
>>740468013White instead of brown.
>>740471451Retarded in an aesthetic way
>>740558621it's actually fairly googleable >>740559958yeah that does affect character likability a bit. Shantae gets away with it I suppose.
>>740471885They did, hence all the anti-shilling before and after the game came out. Want to know why Penny failed? Sonicfags seethed at it in droves to tank its reputation.
>anyone who disagrees with me is an "anti."Game is ugly. It's really that simple.
>>740475127Sonic was movementslop until SA1 made it boostslop
>>740465431Nuke
>>740481705They got Tyson to do so much free art that it burned him out but really that's on him for not asking any money for it
>>740491307Nobody likes bomberman, he got replaced by generic animu lolis
>>740559907>PseudoregaliaIf it makes you feel better i didn't touch that shit with a 10 foot pole
>>740495180Not quite since like 80% of it is just rehashing actual classic level design. That's like if I said Rocky IV is one of the best Rocky movies when it's really just III with more buttrock montages.
>>740497283You're thinking of Kit the sex cat
>>740500670I have big butt fatigue.
>>740510993>>740511498I like a lot of her fan art but come the fuck on, she literally looks like a toddler with an anime head plopped on.
>>740559907I opened this gay thread just to call you a FAGGOT
>>740559907Midwitregalia sold purely because of great character design, the gameplay didn't matter at all. Penny flopped because of character design. Sonic sells SOLELY because of character design alone. Nothing about video games matters except for a game's first impressions.
>>740467475Cute kid vs weird brown clown thing with a boomerang for a scalp (she can't throw boomerangs)
>>740561437Yeah, that’s a marketing funnel for you. 1st step to success is not being rejected immediately.
>>740560379movementslop means a million different moves you have to do to move normally which makes you feel like you're playing the game "like a pro" because you have to keep pressing buttons, sonic is the opposite
Its a game made by people that think Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town was the best opening of part 4
>>740465019>1k steam reviewsso same as spark 3? did they really just have that many people working on it to be a loss?
>>740564650Penny's 1029 reviews LOST to a fodder Metroidvania.
>>740559958holy filtered
>>740559907It don't need to be furbait, but it need to not be an complete eyesore.Mario is not a furbait horny character, but he's not a pain on the eyes, like pennys.
>>740472763I did the Kickstarter and in the comments, I said be sure to make it model swap friendly since people will want to add in Sonic characters.
>>740563904I really don't care about your retarded buzzwords
>>740564831Mario's proportions are the same as most furry mascot so yeah he's technically a furless furry character.
Kinda sad Penny's big breakaway thread bombed
>>740504970BEEBZ THREADBEEBZ BOARDBEEBZ SITE
>>740465431basically this. looks like the game you'd be permitted to play for 15 minutes while munching on your daily ꜱoy-cricket chip ration after pedaling your eco generator to power the low-energy use, California law compliant GIC (government issued computer) in your carbon neutral sustainable 1 bedroom no bathroom slopcube housing and signing in by saying "black lives matter, trans rights are human rights" and holding your updated vaccine card in front of the always on surveillance camera
>>740569075ruined it. trying too hard.
The game was very fun, but it was also skill based which doesnt fly with todays gaming audiences.
>>740492495The big catch looks amazing and the demo was great, it could've been a full game if they had a few levels the size of tower garden. Probably the 2nd best PC platformer but the by far the best visuals. I think the actual game is going to be different though, it's not a true platformer afaik its more of an adventure game i think.
>>740569075Dude is saying this while drinking lead water and tending to his measles while the data center hums in the backgrouns.
>>740569075Lowkirkenuinely stop, anon.
>>740539578Holy fuck, there really is no way to make Penny's design workable, even as fap fodder.
>>740465019>no Chao garden>ugly main characterdestined to flop
