I wonder what the big breakout demo will be. Supposedly the Order of the Sinking Star will be quite the large demo, but I also kind of doubt a block pushing game will have wide appeal.

Denari felt a bit too rough for me so I bounced off it.
agdg transfolx welcome to share their games, we support our local devs here.
>>741031419BRO ITS SAYS THE PAGE IS FOR PRESS ONLYWERE GONNA GET BANNED FROM STEAM
>>741035247I'm more sad to found out that the gameplay itself is shitthe trailer was promising and it all shattered after the demo was 30 minutes of janky ue5 nothingand yeah I think I read something about them having slop main key art for the game, but that's less offensive than having a shit game in the first place
>>741038360What are you talking about? We're all press here. We suck at video games.
>>741034326An actual FPS precision platformer?
>>741039057marathon if it was good
I'd love to hunt but they enshittified the fest browser. it's only slightly better when it reaches steam proper. the previous design was way better, but it was like 2 years ago at this point.
>Object ImpermanenceNot yet mind bending, but I love the atmosphere.Depending on the direction things go I can imagine puzzles getting tedious in how you interact with them.>Trust Your GutLike clover pit but roulette. Looks very polished but roulette just isn't fun.>Meaningless Random NumbersVery stylish incremental game where you click to get dice rolls. But that wasn't enough to hold me for more than 15 minutes.
>>741034326wasn't this in the last next fest?
Have puzzle games been surprisingly good the last 3 or 5 years?I feel like we're in a pretty good groove with puzzle games lately.
Show me some good loli witch games.
>>741039596There are so many good puzzle games that I can't keep up.
>>741039596I really want He Who Watches to be good.
>>741039596Yeah tons of good variety.
one more game from my wishlist>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2489950/Tales_Of_Wakana/
>>741036665Why does every lobby always have a one shot Johnny running away the entire match and doing nothing but stealing kills? Guy doesn't even have any special moves, he just exists to snipe low HP Donnies everyone else has been working to kill.
>>741040702oh yeah, i am definitely too retarded for that
I want more traditional roguelikes.
>>741044950rift wizard 3
>>741045803>rift wizard 3Wait what?? You weren't joking. I was about to finally play rift wizard 2. I just missed the last sale and was going to jump on the next one. I really need to try this demo.
>>741047115The games are extremely punishing and take dozens of hours to learn enemies and effective combinations. most importantly you can't lean into one element alone because something will counter you hard.

>>741032349Your crying ruined the steam next fest
Anyone try The Lift playtest? It's that repairman sim they showed off during the Xbox(?) summer games stream.I played for a couple hours last night, it felt pretty chill and somewhat autistic. I didn't finish it yet but I'm wondering how they will keep it fresh.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3283240/THE_LIFT_Supernatural_Handyman_Simulator/
>>741031419Any JRPGs or metroidvanias?
I kinda admire people who put out really generic RPGs like thishttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2822740/ONE_FENIX_DOWN/Though to be fair, it has quite a few original assets that don't look half bad. Do have to wonder who actually plays these kinds of games.
>>741048248That came out more negative than I wanted it to be>>741048228Well I guess here's one
favorite demo so far?mine was silver pine
>>741047898I did! Easily dropped 3 hours in.It tickles the autism buttons well enough. And there's some cool hidden things around to get a few more parts to help elsewhere.It did annoy me that I had to cannibalise some of my previous repairs in order to complete the main path, and how the finite currency means you might blow it on duplicates you don't need and be unable to afford what you do. But I have hope that the latter at least won't be in the full game (the first vending machine has finite stock which stops you being stupid with it; the limits on the others presumably just weren't set yet).Also the word 'supernatural' is in the title but the game is just raw PREY (2017) aesthetic with nothing supernatural in sight. Not sure what's up with that.Overall it had less cool things than I was expecting, but the raw gameplay was more satisfying than I expected, so it kinda washes out.The moment you first met the Trader was kino, though.

vholume is kinoI need more brutalist games
I have a lot of demos to play tonight. but for now I am tired.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2593320/Catechesis/I never played Yuppie Pyscho so I don't really know what I'm in for with the full game but the demo was interesting. Good production values.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4594150/Sir_We_Have_an_Orc_Problem/This one is very simple but I kind of like that. They do tower defense the right way by not bogging you down with too much bullshit and just letting you upgrade and get back to it very quickly.
>>741035863>Time Dial8OH NO NO NO.More seriously: Looks like one of those surf servers in CS. Is there more gameplay than the Q3A speed jumping/surfing?
>>741051981>AI disclosure pop-upNevermind. *hits ignore that*
>>741042759Well, yeah: He's a glass canon going by those stats. Everyone needs to gang up on him.
>>741039463Yes.
>>741031419Does brigador killers count as part of this next fest? Got like 22 hours in that demo.

>>741039596Check out DITTORI if you haven't already.And don't think you've finished after the piss-easy mainline puzzles.
>>741048476AGX GP.
>>741036665Holy shit you really did make a game based on those graphs
THE HARD EDGE DEMO DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME
these are the demos I am going to try
>>741034120If all you want to do is play popular trash, you don't really belong here.Ironically though, the trash you think will be popular is going to crash and burn anyway. So maybe you do belong here, in a roundabout way, but probably not. You need to get over this sort of thing if you ever plan to mature.
>>741057404Not the guy you're wailing at, just want to say that you don't need to be so bitter and miserable that you have to lash out at people for things they aren't even implying. Cheer up, /v/irgin.

>>741058165Dustfront
>>741036665>>741056330Okay I just finished the second boss. For a game based on a meme, it's incredibly well put together. Music's good, abilities are coolI think my only complaint would be that the weapons felt too samey compared to each other. Like as if you said "every weapon needs to have the same DPS" It made my weapon choices feel inconsequential. The only difference I felt was if something was burstfire or not.
>>741031419https://store.steampowered.com/app/4665530/Brigador_Killers_Demo/Loot parts, small guns, big guns, then bring them back to your garage and build technicals, APCs, tanks, mechs, and anti-gravity vehicles, then fuck shit up in a tropical retro-cyberpunk shithole.

>>741059356The gameplay might be decent but with that UI I'd be worried my computer would catch AIDS.
>>741057759I can second Vholume from that dude's list >>741035863Mirror's Edge and Babbdi got fused into a single game. Competent minimal first person running mechanics, and impressive player numbers on the leader boards for times.Babbdi aspect comes from the obvious like the visual style, setting, and random weird shit that can be found in the levels.
>>741060885A large amount of the UI is still placeholders at the moment, active development and all that.
>>741051981>Time Dial8??and it's just cpm defrag if you're familiar, but with surfing (incl. plasma climbs, rocket jumps, and bhops)

Holy sloppaaa
why is it so bad this time around, I'm hoping it's just because of the press release and it'll get better tomorrow

>>741073283Blow also specifically said that a simple parody game completely destroyed his life's work and caused him severe emotional damage, so I wouldn't exactly trust his stated sense of scale.
>>741072737oh shit this guy hates roguelike deckbuilders too hey we can be a team of people who have very original opinions that need to be shared endlessly, it's only an original opinion if you say it 500000 times a thread after all and we can work together to say again and again that INDIE GAMES ARE DEAD, ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDERS ARE BAD.I said it, now you say it and we can just go back and forth, saying it.

>>741042187i played the demo of this game. It has a lot of juice and an ok gameplay loop but everything else about it is fucking nuts. 10 different art styles in a single game, a very bland 'lol not serious' story. It's weird, 5/10. It's ok but you can do so much better for a metroidvania.

Boss rush. looks nice but proper rollslop.-no proper openings, depends on enemies chasing you and cheesing the AI-second stage of 1st boss actual rollslop, slam type attack from offscreen. mistime the roll and die. running isn't enough. 1 hp. 12 seconds to get to the boss again(wouldn't be a problem if it was fair and fun like titan souls).unfortunately not fun.recc https://store.steampowered.com/app/2166690/Savage_Ultimate_Boss_Fight/ instead.
>>741075543just wait until you actually get to the games, they're nothing but clicking! no no no, that's not okay. You could kill yourself, I suppose, but pulling a trigger counts as clicking so I guess you'll just have to keep living your sad pathetic existence.

>>741076413Holy shit you are mad. I'll post another screenshot in your honor.
>>741076309It was on his twitch when he was reacting to "The Looker". Might be hard to find the clip now because google will be filled with reddit results of people asking why mentioning it gets them instabanned from his chat.
Can't have enough of this.I will load Onimusha now to try too.
yeah I'm specifically looking for shitty sokobon games with excessive budgets that will drive the idiotic developer to suicide when it inevitably fails, can anyone think of a demo matching that description?
>>741076853I do know that he got unreasonably upset about a great parody/tribute game that is The Looker. Looking up his opinion on it, it seems worse and more ridiculous than I thought. But still not as bad as what >>741075353 said.
>>741076309There is nothing more pathetic than asking for a source. It's obvious you won't believe anything negative about your waifu, so why even bother asking for it? You're in love with Joe Blow and that's all there is to it. That's why you never shut the fuck up about his completely mid game. He doesn't even have the brains to give it bad graphics because the idiots who play sokobans don't care about appearances anyways so he's only doing it to waste money.
>>741077441you sound mad.
>>741042187This is very cute and polished, but the dialogue is aggravating, zoomer level cringe comedy.

>>741077563>He doesn't even have the brains to give it bad graphics because the idiots who play sokobans don't care about appearances anyways so he's only doing it to waste money.Blow also didn't have to make it in his own custom programming language. Yet he did because he doesn't like half assing things (and software that he didn't write himself). Why can't a Sokoban game look beautiful?

>>741031419No thanks, passing for the foreseeable future.These were fun before they became overwhelming. We're in the oversaturation phase of the indie scene where nothing innovative is being release, only dozens of derivative indie cash grabs, most of which is roguelike deck builder slop. Every one of these games are going to sell like ten copies and be forgotten, then these goldrush crazed devs will fuck off and things will level out. I'll be back after that happens.If you're making a game right now either shelf it or spend another decade polishing it and release it after the indie craze is over, otherwise your hard work will sink to the bottom of the flooded indie ocean.

>>741099402Depends on how you build it. Outlaw is better for long fights, Knight should be the safest. Mage is heavier on management, Cleric is the safest in my opinion, it helps that it starts with health regen, so it ends up being also the most durable.

>>741101210I was about to write the solution but thankfully you found it :) . The demo is pretty short, there's just the tutorial area + the burnt town. The full game will have like 6 different regions with around 4 areas inside of each, and you can explore each region at your desired order so you can replay it and try to break it by finding items and spells in any order.

>>741110887vholume is fine for this
>>741109295I played the demo back when it first came out, bugs aside the gameplay is just fairly mediocre from what's in the demo. Since the player is the only character that can't die while everyone else can it means the best choice for the player is to make them a tank to protect the squishies rather than anything else. The menus are awful functionally and I also finished the demo before even levelling enough to get the first perk. At least those novel event segments were interesting.
>>741111928>the gameplay is just fairly mediocre>At least those novel event segments were interestingThat sounds about right coming from the Dread Delusion devs, that game was also the most stripped down "rpg" possible held up entirely by nice worldbuilding
>>741112842I like them.
>>741113842I don't really care one way or another I just decided to start posting that instead of "bump"

Well it's the 15th, can we start the fest proper already?
>>741124923no bro I ruined it after today the next fest gets sucked into a black hole
>>741124923about 12 hours
>>741122015Thanks, didn't know the demo was out
>>741122015Oh hey, that's the game I'm working on. >>741125989I would advise you to wait a bit before playing it, me and the team were trying to polish it all day then a horrible visual glitch happened and the programmer is trying to fix it. It should be fixed later today. If you don't mind the mess, the demo is fully playable despite these issues.
>>741126470Next fest goes live in 12 hoursTell him to hurry his ass up
>>741126470>mfw another /v/ devThat makes two games now.I'll probably try it tonight anyway and see how bad of a visual glitch it is. There's another demo that I put on hold for a similar reason, so I have no problems holding judgement if it's too much of a gamebreaker.
>>741126543Working on it, anon.>>741126604Nice to meet another /v/ dev! Hopefully should be fixed by then.

Now I have to play his other demo called Xeno Feels, which looks like a Papers Please, like but with stupid modern memes in it like glorp cat
>>741128423google translate made me realize that it's a scene that's just not implemented yet where the shop lady restocks all of the trash piles so you can keep diving, but the game doesn't actually do that because it's just a demo.
>>741128535uh did you just fucking use an AI translator instead of going to your local university translator scholar guy in the middle of the night to ask about video game demos?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3282300/Mistfall_Hunter/Way more fun than it has any right to be
anyone play this? at first glance seems inspired by cruelty squad https://store.steampowered.com/app/2484890/Deeper_Still/
This one was actually relatively amusing:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1770070/The_Hungry_One/Now, listen. The demo actually locks you out of the game as soon as you figure out the code to the door. I could probably find a way to erase all savedata and get a fresh install but I don't care all that much.The code is 7621, enter it as soon as possible and see if it works.
>>741129154Save games are most often put in AppData/Roaming/<name of game or game developer>. If you haven't been diligently getting rid of save folders but have been playing Next Fest games then you might have thousands of useless folders in there. You must clean it, anon. You must.
>>741128423>Xeno FeelsHoly vtumors, Batman!
>>741128771I just finished my download but I'll probably wait until tomorrow to try it since it's the dead of sunday night in the US
One thing I've noticed is that many, many games/demos are starting their master volume between 50%-70%. How does such a trend even happen? Not that I'm complaining.
>>741128771>Mistfall Hunter is a dark fantasy extraction ARPG.

This was neat as another one of those "You can play it on a real Gameboy!" games but the main puzzle mechanic is extremely slow and I was not going to play a whole game waiting for enemies to walk to their death.

Guys I'm helping localize this game for the Japanese developer!https://store.steampowered.com/app/4588290/Rabbit_Circle/I hope the English demo makes it in time...
>>741133379>>741133379Ah, fuck me, the dev is still using the AI translated english steam page game synopsis instead of the non machine translated version I sent them last week.I get that theyre really busy making art for the full game but gahdamn man..Bear with me anons...
>>741105846based 3k chad
>>741126470>>741130645Alright just finished the demo. That was the only glitch I really experienced and it seemed more than just a graphical one. So I guess I didn't run into whatever you guys found. Some feedback:> (low impact) main menu uses playstation button prompts regardless of button selection> (low impact but annoying) name entry doesn't accept keystrokes, have to move the cursor over to each letter instead of just typing it> (low impact in full version) autosaves seem to happen when you reach the overworld - I can't use the units I recruited in the last battle since the demo kicks you back to the main menu first. though it looks like you can't rematch enemies (yet?) either so I guess this is whatever.> (low impact) need an option for controller vibration, I would have turned it off since it was so aggressive when killing or losing a unit> (medium impact) I'm unsure if Defensive Formation was working - most units always took 2 hits to kill, including the kobolds that have it.> (high impact) choosing the tactical team, then trying to skip the tutorial results in having 7/6 units (they deployed like 11 so I'm glad it gave me 7 lol)> (high impact) upon winning that tutorial, the next level didn't unlock. The save is bricked.QOL/personal opinions:>see terrain type even if a unit isn't present. mostly for 1st time players. I'm thinking a translucent icon in the corner>for the last battle, i wish i had a fast forward button when each team had 3-4 units taking curse damage>buff units without abilities, or give all units an ability. i wanted to pick the slimegirl but abilities seem very good and she doesn't have one. Had to choose between her, healing fairy, or alurane/trent.I think that's everything.
>>741130332>We have Order of the Sinking Star at homeBut seriously, that looks interesting. Thank you for the recommendation.
>have to wait 3 days for the algo pruning to happen
>>741134395Ill just follow the initial recs from anons who already dumpster dived
>>741135269You don't even need anon recs if you follow the right curators. I got an email for Children's Garden Demo right after it was posted in the thread.
I enjoyed Rift Wizard 3. However, do not play a minion build if you value your time.

When does the next fest start for real?

>>741137329YouTube recommended that to me. Is it a multiplayer boss rush?
>>741137439Maybe? Haven't played it yet but it looks more like a Synthetik 2 roguelite type deal but with extraction mechanics.

Which just couple hours to the proper start of the fest I want to ask, do you have any bets on which games will end up in top 10 most popular demos?
>>741140884Nothing I've liked will make it in probably
>>741141043Yeah, it usually happens that games the most brought up in these threads and the top charts mostly don't match up.
>>741138371When your heat gets too high, it'll just send you emails to lower it. Costs some money.
>>741141043What?You do NOT like friendslop, survival craftan and spooky streamer bait?Deal with it by complaining how deckbuilder roguelikes killed Next Fest
>>741140884No bets but DEORUM will sell well. It's the only game I tried and haven't uninstalled in 5 minutes. not for me but well made.
>>741142383Friendslop, survival crafting, spooky streamer bait, deckbuiler roguelikes, agdg trannies, AI sloppers, collage nigger, list posters, game journalistsall of the above ruined the steam next fest

>>741142850good game but the lack of audio cues for certain actions drags the game down
>42GBDid they just put the whole game in the demo?
>>741145003>extraction shooternoooooooo
>>741142850Thank you for sharing this, it became the In Falsus of this next fest for me. Great story potential, amazing fast gameplay and presentation for a rhythm game. Reminds me of Necrodancer. As >>741144285 said I feel not having an audio indicator for when you're supposed to hold or rapid-press is strange, especially because your eyes are already focused on dodging the patterns on the grid. Made some songs really difficult to tackle. It's in my wishlist regardless, finally some good fucking food.
Onimusha looks really pretty and stuff but everything until the boss is a total snoozefest. Group fights are an absolute joke, you just wail on a single enemy while the rest stand around and do nothing. None of the different blocks or dodges matter against normal enemies.
