https://x.com/SinkingStarGame/status/2064694073294770643You're not gonna get filtered by Jonathon Blow's new game, right anon?
looks better than nigga weave
didn't he become a onions dj or some shit?
I'm gonna cum.
cool, wonder if the performance is good given the whole custom enginei have jai beta but never bothered to play with it
This will be cool.
Jonathan blow is unironically a genius We need more people like jon and ross scott that are highly critical of things and demand excellence of everything. You simps stopped caring, you don't demand greatness anymore/v/ used to be the most elitist place on the internet, to the point even something silly and inconsequential from here like gamergate created ripples in the fucking government itself. /v/ used to be known for its hate. Now it's sterile, and you can't even have "flame wars" now LMAO>don't discuss which platform is best, just consume and respect them all ok?jon blow and ross scott are changing video games/v/ is just sad now, this used to be my favorite place on the internet due to all the elitism
AIN'T NO POINT TO THE GAME
>>740781027piss off jon you're transparent as fuck
>>740781027/v/ was never the most elitist just the most performative.
Why does every post here feel like it was paid for. How do I get in on this.
>>740780381I will get filtered because I suck at sokoban and find this genre frustrating.I wish him luck though, I loved The Witness.
>>740780381https://youtu.be/L_Z0kfhhlRQ?t=46>The hard thing about a video game is not the game design ... just making the graphics run is way harder.He actually said this. He is genuinely a retard. I'm literally making my own game from scratch, no engine, and making the renderer was straightforward as shit.Same thing with that Muratori cock sucker as well. I clicked on one video from him out of curiosity, and he spent a full on hour talking about some non-sequitur history rant about some shit, then went on to explain in detail surface-level engine dev knowledge like he was passing secrets to the next generation.They both just like to hear themselves talk. Anyone who has any cursory knowledge of gamedev knows they are snake oil salesmen.

>>740781205I used to get game recommendations from /v/Now I don't. This place is casual as fuck now, and it wasn't in the past. There were always dirty casuals, now there are ONLY dirty casuals. And if you try to make a thread dedicated for non casual games, jannies will ban youI know, I tried in the past to have a non-casual games general
>>740781665There's still some good threads here and there but sadly it's 99% AAA garbage
>>740781774I browse /v/ once a day literally to keep up with news, along with some other bookmarked boards I open once a daystopped browsing /v/ in 2012. I miss the old /v/, this was my absolute home on the internet
>>740780381The demo comes out on the 15th, Monday. There will initially be ~110 levels + overworld, divided among the 3 base worlds.Then on the 18th, Thursday, more levels will be unlocked, including mechanic overlap areas. And the progress carries over to the full game.
>>740781665>I used to get game recommendations from /v/here's one: starsector
New page art.
>>740782710>WE
>>740781447It was when he pretended that all rich people and business owners deserve more money because theyre "necessarily more competent" that I realized he was a retard, unfortunately I just dont have the eye for game dev to see how stupid he is in that regard, I agree loosely with him there. But I was always skeptical and suspicious for reasons I couldnt tell. Now I know why, after he tried to defend himself against why people dont like him and said the stupid shit he said
>>740782741>ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS
>>740782319sounds based acthually
>>740781613This is a Blow board, tourist faggot.
i will wait for the soulja boy review
>>740782710I literally came into this thread to ask how brown this game is gonna be and there it is. First thing I see. >safe brown MC so you can appeal to blacks but still have a character that's not too black(which ironically pisses off the blacks who hate characters like this)>rainbow crap tranny dogwhistle
>>740780381>Jonathan Blowthat poor wife LOL
>>740781665>I know, I tried in the past to have a non-casual games generalPray tell. Please tell us the non-casual game thread you used to make that got you banned for making it, oh hardcore gamer.
>>740783058He is single.
>>740780381This is the only indie game in the past 10 years that actually grabbed my attention, it's not just some vapid trend chaser.
>>740783031>Local anonymous poster is afraid bright colors
>>740783149All high IQ men are singleThis is why we are living the competency crisis. We left reproduction in charge of the woman, instead of the woman's father, and since women get the ick from high IQ men, no high iq men reproduce anymorethe future is bleak and animalistic
>>740781665are you the avatarfagging shmup cunt?
I think it would be cool if programming languages were good
>>740783357>avatarfaggingno, I'm high IQ (single)
>>740783031
>>740783391He talked himself into believing that there was a problem that didn't exist, then spent multiple years of his life making a toy programming language to solve said non-existent problem. Such is the way of life for a midwith with severe Dunning-Kruger.
>>740780381Blow me nigga and buy an ad
>>740780381At least post the actual trailer instead of a Twitter link.https://youtu.be/jIMPlBMzfsQ
>>740783689I'm not convinced that programming languages are currently good.
>Jonathan BlowhardNo thanks.
>>740783031Jon blow isn't a leftist. He despises leftists.
>>740782710Millennials from California have unfathomably bad aesthetic taste, even the ones that vote for Donald Trump.
>>740781027I mean. I respect Jon Blow and he is clearly intelligent. But like many highly intelligent people, the intelligence is unbalanced. Because he is absolutely a true retard in many respects at the same time.
>>740784795Blow is Gen X.
>Jonathon BlowLmfao
>>740781447You're too retarded to realise how retarded you are, I'm sorry for you
>>740784868name 3 aspects
>>740784795You're right those have a lack of a brain on top of not having aesthetic taste.
>>740785282He clearly sucks at navigating videogames and details that are obvious to most he is damn near blind to. Just watch almost any of his videogames streams of any kind of metroidvania or something and see him struggle immensely. He is also a social retard that struggles to understand other people. I dunno what else to say. I'm not his psychologist. But he is clearly uneven.
I'm curious about this game, but I'm going to wait for the full release.I'm playing "The Witness" again and, aside from a few environmental puzzles that are pretty annoying and don't respect your time, the game is extremely solid. I thought it was much better than, say, "The Talos Principle 2", which was a big step backward compared to TP1.It's also interesting how there are so many anons here devoted to the Picrel project, trying to start pointless discussions that go nowhere, just to make /v/ a less interesting place for its users.>>740784868This is actually a myth. Smarter people tend to be better at basically everything.The myth probably stems from the fact that smart people tend to focus on more intellectual areas, and so they often don't engage enough in social things like sports, etiquette, conversation, etc., and since normalfags can only understand social stuff, they assume that smart people are "stupid" outside their area of expertise.
>>740786038>This is actually a myth. Smarter people tend to be better at basically everything.To a degree perhaps. But at a certain point, some kind of neurodivergence is all but required to attain even higher IQ. And it that comes with drawbacks.
>From the director of BraidHopefully he knows how to write a story this time.
>>740785831Oh you're just another butthurt soulfag that can't accept that Elden Ring isn't a 11/10 GOTYAY so anyone that disagree must be retarded
I'm torn about this, usually if I play a demo it's because I'm not sold yet and I want to know if I'm gonna like it. But I already know I'm buying this and I'm not sure that I want my first experience of the game being that half the puzzles are locked off and a whole quadrant is inaccessible. Still, it's hard to hold back from playing this demo when it's basically by number one most anticipated game.
>>740780381Is this mario in the future?
>>740780381>can't drink beer because it messes with my stomach>can't smoke week because it messes with my mental healthI don't think I'm gonna be able to enjoy this game...
>>740788541>can't write 3 sentences without making a typo
>>740787884What? If anything the example I was thinking of more than anything would be his inability to realize what to do in Hollow Knight with the tree logs you can cut down or the mushrooms you can bounce on. But he has struggled with lots of games.
>>740788275The progress is carried over. I can't see a reason to not play the demo if you already know that you'll be getting the full game.
>>740781027It's a sokoban game
>>740781665Nine Sols blows everything Blow has ever made out of the water.
>>740787884Not a soulsfag, but I have never seen anyone get stuck on the vine platforms in Hollow Knight aside from him.
>>740787884Lol, he's completely accurate. Blow is clearly very high IQ but somewhat autistic and exists in a weird nepotistic bubble due to his upbringing that result in him having a very peculiar way of thinking about things. I love the dude and appreciate what he's been able to create, but he is a weirdo with tendencies to be petty as fuck.
>>740789726>souls slopzzz
>>740784723I actually doubt this. He strikes me as the kind of person who'd go full on Marxist if circumstances differed since anti-Marx shit is mostly genuinely stupid and anti-intelectual but the world we're in now happens to be political weird in ways that encourage self identified smart people to identify as 'right wing', though they'd be left wing in most other circumstances.
>>740783689The thing is, a problem did exist, but it was mostly solved by things like Nim and D and Zig though Rust turned into a psyop. Blow just had to make his own special slowflake solution instead of contributing to and integrating his shit with other teams of people, because he's like that.
>>740790685Why did Blow get stuck on the vine platforms? Also Nine Sols has an actual story, unlike Braid.
>>740790924Why did the Soviet Union collapse?
>>740790924retard
>>740780381>odor of the stinking saarLooks like shit. Why show clearly unffinished visuals and animation in a fucking trailer lol
>>740793835>clearly unffinishedCould you elaborate?
>>740780381I like listening to Blow rant about programming and video games, but I don't actually like puzzle games very much, so I don't think I'll play this. I hope other people like his game and can fund another decade of him shitting on jeetware.
>>740783357The avatarfagging shmup cunt gives good vidya recommendations, albeit.
>>740793924An easy one is where the dude is going up that shitty elevator and it's all janky
>>740785262he always used to say the exact opposite thing. i think it's emblematic of the rut he's in that he says this now. it's no wonder he took 10 years to make a sokobon game, that just had to be built from the ground up with a new engine and programming language. the game was originally just meant as a tech demo to show off the new programming language/engine, and a lot of the design was actually outsourced to other designers. and because 'getting the graphics on the screen' took so fucking long he turned it into a commercial project and has to pretend it's a worthy followup of the witness.
>>740780539How the hell did you get Blow and Fish confused?
>>740781447isn't the entire appeal of muratori that he explains basic engine dev to beginners? why would you expect him to do anything other than give detailed explanations of surface-level knowledge?
>>740780381>Jonathon Blowi don't buy games by fags
>>740781447See pic related.Also let's see your 2 masterpieces (soon to be 3)
>>740780381cool i was having trouble falling asleep
>>740780381Yo they brought back Frogger?
>>740795559Looks fine to me. The whole game does, actually.
>>740781027truth nuke
I wish people would talk about the game instead of arguing about the intelligence of the developer.
>>740799405The game's not out yet, not even the demo. Not much to talk about.At least the retards shitting on Blow bump the thread.
>>740783190It's a fucking sokoban game. There are hundreds of these. Hundreds that also don't include terrible writing and annoying characters yapping while you solve them.
>>740781027same energy
>>740799405The game blows. Talking about the dev lolcow is the only interesting conversation.
>>740799405>push thing into other thingwow so deep
>>740803561>push thing into other thing when I PERSONALLY like it: :)>push thing into other thing when I personally DON'T like it: >:(
>greatest living programmer>only they know the right way>everyone else is slow can't code>takes 11 years to make a clone of a sokoban game that already exists with mobile graphics
>>740803995>mobile graphicsModern phones are powerful enough for this not to be a valid insult. In either case, the game looks gorgeous.
Void Stranger looks better
>>740797086I don't need to have released anything to prove his retarded point wrong. I DID it. I literally made a 3D renderer from scratch. He's saying it's harder than game design, which is the biggest crock of shit I've heard.Pretty much every technical challenge in video games are already solved problems. All you need to do is just look for the solution online, like a tutorial or post in some forum somewhere.Game design is nowhere near as easy. It's the furthest thing from a solved problem, otherwise every game released now would be just be a checklist of things to include because it supposedly grantees a hit.
>>740804356Weebslop game. Contains lesbians.
>>740804265I didn't say phones weren't powerful, I said mobile graphics. You know what that means so stop pretending that you don't. The game looks blurry and not consistent>>740804356True
>>740804503It still looks better
More like order of the STINKING Star.
>>740804548Mmm... no.
>>740804704Looks like ugly uninspired 3D slop. The westoid clash of clans aesthetic, almost looks like AI even
>>740783689>He talked himself into believing that there was a problem that didn't existClearly you've never programmed, subhuman retard.
>>740804937When someone accuses a game of looking like AI, it's likely that the speaker has already decided that he doesn't like the game is looking for more reasons to justify that.
>>740805260Yeah bro. Keep shilling trash that looks like Clash of Clans, Wildstar or Icons. Most soulless corporate aesthetic imaginable
>>740804937>>740805513Wow a weeb retard who didn't hang himself over Expedition 33. Too bad.
>>740805513Never stopped, never will.
>>740805646That looks really bad.
>>740806203Why? The detail is amazing.
>>740805646What are those brown things supposed to be, turds? The backgrounds look fine, the objects and characters look bad.
>>740806597Looks more like amber to me. Those are clearly crystalline. But that's rocks.
>>740804704>>740805260>>740805646Yeah the level looks good but the characters and objects not so much. That black outline screams "cheap mid 2010s Unity indie". I bet it would look way better without it.
>>740806705>Looks more like amber to meIt does not>>740806705>clearlyDisagree>>740806705>But that's rocks.okIt looks to me like the artists the hired to do the backgrounds and things like that had an art direction and stuck with it, and the other things in the game Jon made himself ass placeholders and then just stuck with it. The border on things looks bad, and there's an ugly white border on your "amber" rocks that makes it looked muddled and ugly. Like half the game is real are and half is dev art (which sucks)
For those who've played the game, what do you think of it so far?
>>740807334The demo doesn't come out until Monday, and I don't think you'll find any playtesters in here. But I've remade some shown levels and mechanics in Unity. It's pretty good.
>>740807538Do you control more than one character?
>>740807883Yes. Only 1 at a time, you have to switch between them (Heroes of Sokoban rules). But multiple instances of the same character move at the same time (Mirror Isles rules).
>>740780381Why the fuck did he waste millions of dollars working on a Sokoban game?
>>740808145Because he could and he wanted to.
>>740807883>Do you control more than one character?Yes, but when you do they turn gay and start kissing.Blow added that in at the end of his last stream as a commentary on the current wokeness in gamesThen he went dancing (this actually happened)
>>740808216>Millions of dollars>Placed into debt>Over a "push the block" game.I don't think he's that smart.
>>740808145>>740808341it's about sending a message.
>>740780381>indie slop without homogeneous art direction Hard pass.
Yea, not for me. I would instantly get filtered. Puzzle games don't work for me. Pokemon puzzles are the best I can do.
>>740781027>reddit spacing>very first sentence is sucking off the dev, giving me the ok to knock it up as tldrbuy a ad
>>740787884fuck off, Jon. i'll still try your game but this is just sad man
>>740795648>Phil "Suck my dick, choke on it" Fish>Johnathan BlowjobBoth are pretentious and up their own asses over their respective puzzle games, I dont blame him for not paying them any attention.
