>>741160357>>741160434all shit
>>741160082I think vibecoding is fine, as long as the system works without breaking, but it's always good to know what you're getting into. I also don't seethe about gen AI for art assets, do what you want, AI is a tool, but I also think people who use it for final assets are incompetent and lazy bots, and reflects poorly on your ability to take your game seriously. If the developer doesn't care enough to put the effort, why should I as a consumer care? Shitty art is preferable to AI art in my opinion.
>>741160458you won't ever see god buddy

is there a way to exclude tags from the next fest filter? so much horrorslop
>>741162413>>741162083The gameplay lasts up to 10 battles, you can get money from battles or from mowing grass. You use the money to buy parts and then at the end you buy an entrance fee to a league, which ends the demo.The not!beyblade follows your cursor and you damage opponents by hitting them. I don't know how the damage works but I didn't lose regular battles. There are some "illegal battles" with bombs, they are harder. The battles last around 20 seconds.There is a nice looking city but the movement in the city sucks.It's not bad but I shan't be spending money on this. Wrote this longer text in case the dev is from here.
I've only found two demos that stuck out to me (The Macro Mines and Ancient Adventurer) while the rest looked like royal dogshit. I'm not even sure of my two choices until I actually give them a shot.I remember previous Next Fests having so much good shit that it took up half my recent bar.

not a single good demo was added for next fest. not today, not during the preview. all the good demos were available weeks before the preview even beganBrigador Killers is pretty good. everything else I've seen is pure unadulterated garbage

>>741164349Not to start a retarded shitfling, but why do you consider it to be good? I played it for 2 hours and dunno, I saw a lot of people praise it, but it didn't click with me in the slightest. No idea if I just didn't get it and was playing it wrong or something.
I played a cereal roguelite called Flakeparty. It was forgettable. I think it would have been serviceable if the visuals and UI weren't so plain.
I thought we hit the AI slop saturation point last time but I guess notHow does Valve even pick these demos? Why is there practically zero quality control?
demo lineup
>>741164518I like the setting. The first game was cool and expanding it with infantry gameplay and more customization is fun. I do think the demo starts kinda slow and isn't great at telling the player how to get their shit set up initially, but once you survive a few missions and build your first vehicle it really starts to feel good. and I like the pixel art and how everything is persistent, even every bullet casing that hits the ground stays. I just think it's neat

there is genuinely nothing but AI slop and chinese trend clones. they'll boast about putting 15,000 games a year on steam but at what fucking cost man?
>>741164558People make demos and send them to steam. Anons should start making demos and maybe games to improve the selection.
>>741164558Truth be told there's so much trash going onto steam these days I sincerely doubt they do any sort of looking into what they're showing off.
>>741164709>having to dig through 20 AI generated cashgrab turds for every actual interesting passion project indie game is "freedom"le
>>741164670>vehicleOh so that was probably it. I tried to play it mostly on foot since I thought that was the point of it lol. I just used a shitty van to transport loot.
>>741164485Man I sure love my AI generated cuckoldry visual novels
>>741164745A good game takes years to make and a good demo should come when the game is realistically being developed in earnest and not just be a proof of concept. These next fests come along every few months. Even if everyone in this thread started making a game tomorrow it should result in maybe 2 or 3 games a fest starting a year from now.
>>741164918yeah the first game was vehicle combat only. the game is definitely designed around you making partyvans with machine guns attached, and eventually working your way up to tanks and mechs. the on foot stuff is featured a bit too heavily in the demo since it's the new thing for the sequel, but it's not super representative of what mid and late game actually become. and the destruction is cool. any game that lets you level literally every structure gets a plus in my book.but if you aren't down for an isometric vehicle combat extraction looter, it won't be for you. it's a specific weird thing that I think it's doing pretty well so far

SPRAWL zero has to be my top demo so far. You play as telepathic cyborg in brutalistic future city. Basically this means you get gravity gun under one button. The movement is great, the gunplay is great. The design force you to constantly change weapons. It's all punchy and gore. It's a great shooter. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3748520/SPRAWL_zero/

Far Far West proved that's enough to get ahead of the competition in the modern market full of the same 3 games released by 50000 different people.
>>741167972Yeah this one is good. Though I feel like bullet time makes this game way too easy since it's basically self-sustaining. I have to disagree when it comes to the movement, since abilities stop your momentum and it was pretty fucking annoying.

>>741167972I bought the first game, finished it and I thought it was just ok. Problem is it's a bait n switch from a tranny dev and you're forced a tranny flag at the end as some kind of gotcha.

subtleXenoFeels seems okay but not really a game I would pay more than $5 for. It's something you would play on newgrounds back in the day.
>>741169194everyone moved to classic RE clones
>>741170673I've been in a beat'em up mood lately ie just finished urban reign (ps2) and this on hard a week or so ago. This game is fundamentally flawed at the base design level because of enemy design. They all feel very similar because of the in-built kick to parry system that cancels everything including projectiles without requiring timing windows. Having no dodge button or reposition button would be fine in most cases, but it feels very strange because the first person perspective always is very hit-or-miss in judging depth and spacing with melee making it feel awkward even if done consistently. There's also no grappling system at all which compounds the problem.With that said, I'll probably still buy it and play it since first person beat'em ups are already extremely rare.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2911270/SNAP_JAW/Tried this one out, it's basically singleplayer Lethal Company/Repo on a fishing boat with some more persistent roguelite stuff. Visuals and atmosphere are good, I was definitely on edge while fishing, the problem is just the actual fishing part. Way too slow and boring and tedious, you start off just running back and forth doing the same inputs on a couple rods for-fucking-ever until you hit quota or something kills you. Seems like it gets better with upgrades and everything, but it'll be a slog to get there. I'm inpatient as fuck though so that may be a me problem, but it's a cool game otherwise.
Are there any nice space/sci-fi? I had a few in recommendations but they ended up all being AI.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4643980/Bonehold_Demo/One of the more competent first person action dungeon hacks in a bit. Parry makes shield vital and if you don't find good spells you're fucked. Then again, you have no inventory outside of your equipment slots, so any loot you find that aren't upgrades are just left there. Level up choices are generic as hell. Enemies are cool though. Mimics, zombies you can cut the heads off which then proceeds to bite your ankles. Item variety is kinda ass and I have a feeling the sprites and textures feel like AI. Cautiously optimistic.
>>741172412Why does every artist with a cute artstyle draw either gay or futa shit?

>>741175232i appreciate any game that has actual graphics options beyond fullscreen/windowed and vsync
>>741175616Dunno. But it gives good reason for you to constantly 2nd guess where it actually is because you have the landscape, varieties of fish, people, language on signs and cultural signifiers (Christian church/graves) that all clash. It makes it interesting for being both everywhere and nowhere.
>>741175232Rude, they're Argentinian.
>>741175329This is gonna sound gay, but they're fairly responsive on discord, maybe even on steam forums. Feel free to bring up those concerns.

>>741177285Honestly I didn't even register those voices at first and after I registered them they kinda were like the sound you hear with opened window.I thought those funny MBTs you get were kinda quirky with how they were. Also that super unit of rebel army. With rockets and guns and shit. Mutants sucked ass though. All looked the same and they were way too tanky.

>>741179660the journo preview probably doesn't get enough users to make the algorithm work, I'm like 99% sure /v/ is the only non-journo place that actually knows about it
>>741178549You know how people are saying games should've stayed at the same level of complexity so that they could maintain the same level of budget? That's Trine. It's the video game equivalent of Blumhouse's cheap horror movies.
>>741179660It's data gathering based on what people do over the first few days.>wishlists>ignores>seeing links between played demos and a players library>average playtime>tag adjustment>reviews (if enabled)it's stuff that helps distinguish specific titles on both a personal level and for the fest overall.=
>>741179710>feels like devs are gaming the next fest for its sole intended purposeyes?
>>741179710That is the point of the NextFest.
>>741178549It was a decently popular early indie, but never a megahit. They're probably not too expensive to make, so maybe a steady low-risk, half-decent-reward type of situation. Not like any of their other games outside of the Trine franchise went anywhere.
>>741179660Next Fest emulates a mini Steam algorithm when it officially starts.
>>741174496Is it actually functional mahjong?
>>741179997no it isntyou dont give a demo to someone for a game thats a few days from releasing, they cant give any feedback. fuck you /agdg/ are retards
>>741180096They aren't looking for feedback at that point. Its a DEMOnstration.

>>741187535It was supposed to launch as a gacha, but for whatever reason they decided to turn it into a single player game, but yeah. It's literally a offline gacha.

>>741187513I played the demo some months ago. I liked it for what it is. I won't suck it off and say it's the best thing ever, but if you see the trailer and you're curious to install, you'll most likely enjoy it.I like that you're never buttfucked for getting a bad hand.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3642010/Truckkun_is_Supporting_Me_from_Another_World/Plays well for a meme game, though if the devs were true weebs then the in-game graphics would look more anime-inspired, with chibis instead
>>741190627Probably not. I'd rather not write it if it's not something I care for. No point in doing it badly just to have it, and no point in adding it if the game doesn't lean toward romance or eroge.
kino loliges just keep decreasing by the year. It's so fucking over
>>741187501>>741161070This is from the Dragon Nest devs, which had great gameplay. Definitely a dumbed down version of the combat from that game. Apparently it was supposed to be gacha but there was some drama with the publisher so they went for an offline version instead through self-publishing. I'm keeping an eye on it, but I doubt the combat wiil evolve beyond the phone design.

>>741191150Carissa a cute, even as a corpse.I kind of hope the story is ultimately played straight instead of the obvious "this is Truck Driver's schizo cope after killing a girl" or "this is what Carissa imagines as she's dying" twists. Even if it's "Only Carissa comes back and the Driver is jailed for life for all the shit he did to bring her back" at least there's something there.
>>741187513Alright played it for about an hour and beat all the rivals. I personally really enjoyed the combat system. It's a lot of fun experimenting with combos and boss patterns and finding cool ways to combine attacks or interrupt windows. The deck building fits the combat well and there's some fun strategies like manipulating lightning EP.Downside is that this game is really just a boss rush. The rogue-lite mode is definitely under-baked, and I hope the full release has a traditional arcade-style story mode instead of the rogue-lite being the full thing. Still, even though it's just combat it does that combat quite well. I'll keep my eye on it and if it launches for around $15 max I'll pick it up. Also the battle theme is good.
>>741191569I'll check it out
