Any good games that don't feel like they're screaming "LOOK AT ME LOOK HOW UNIQUE I AM PAY ATTENTION TO ME"?
>>749857568Previous next fests were dry as fuck, any upcoming interesting demos?
>>749857776Apologize to the previous next fests and I'll tell you some.
>>749857804and the freak troon is back
>>749857804Fuck no, I remember how good the first Next Fest was, I barely remember what I played these last few ones, I remember the last one was full of slop
>>749857869>>749857849Ah, it's the jaded loser who doesn't enjoy anything.
>>749857935she's the only one with a reflection
>>749858023losers FTFYBut I'm serious that it's gotten pretty bad, have to wait a day or two for a few actually interesting games to come to the top or you'll keep running into a million cash grabs like """roguelites""" (vampire survivors clones), vibe-coded incremental slop and so on
Shame the translation is done with MTL/AI (ironic considering that one of the first lines in the game is complaining about AI slop), I found the demo of dancing zombie funny, despite the concept getting old really fast within the demo. Even Danganronpa feels more serious. I enjoyed my time with it, but it falls really short compared to VNs and adventure games shilled in these threads previouslyhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4818490/DANCING_ZOMBIE/
>>749858064I noticed that as well though I am not exactly sure if it was intended or not. But given how the demo ends I am leaning towards the former.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5070070/wagamom/Try waga-mom if you liked the demo of am I nima or the game called "and Roger". Vibes were similar. Basic renpy VN compared to those however but cool art direction nonetheless
>>749858252Your quota for this thread is 100 posts about how you can't find a single thing you enjoy and everything is slop. I expect 1/5 of the total posts in the entire thread to be nothing but you whining or else.
>>749857568>HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS PREVIEW URL. THIS PAGE IS FOR PRESS ONLY.I just shared the page with my friends and none of them are game journalists.

>>749858823I shared this URL with a bunch of games journalists and told them I had their families kept hostage and that they had to play 350 demos to get them released.Maybe a journalist will finally do their job now.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4098960/Home_Paigeman the animations of the characters look awesome, if this had been a cartoon when I was a kid I would've 100% loved itdon't you look at these demos and think these people were wrong in the born era or dedicating a lot of talent in a medium that might not be idealI'm not a fan of 3D platformers (the last time I played one was star road, a mario 64 romhack) but who knows

>>749858823you are an economic terrorist
>>749858312I liked the style but the cases were really way too on the nose. Demo had 3/5 chapters unlocked, and each was 15 minutes tops, I really doubt the rest of the game will take more than 45 minutes complete. I'm guessing the farmer is going to be the CH4 zombie since he ate the infected chocolate bar off his dead GF, while the MC will be revealed in CH5 most likely by the scientist

FNAF 4-like:https://store.steampowered.com/app/5005510/YOU_MUST_SLEEP_Ravenous_Nightmares/Did anyone find any more FNAF clones in this Next Fest? Its the season after all.
Tried out "古咒迷途2渊海 lost curse 2 abyssal Demo". Performance is really tragic. Unfortunate for the RPG Maker Bakin showcase that's also happening. A true belt and road initiative.Tried out "Warota: I Live Next to The Demon King's Castle LOL Demo". It was like Minecraft and a city builder? I wasn't a huge fan but it could develop into something cool. Maybe make it more like Dark Cloud or something.(I'll probably remove half of these demos when the bulk of demos drop so pls don't get mad)
Played There are no ghosts at the grand and Alien Archeologist, both "cleaning" gamesThere are No Ghosts at the Grand - demo was fine and i'll admit i laughed from the dialogue a few times, but there's more singing than i expected, at least in the demo, so i was getting annoyed whenever a music started.Alien Archeologist - Dig around a ranch in Mars to find alien relics and clean them, the digging is mind numbing at the start because it is very slow, but once you get upgrades it becomes much more bearable. It might not be for everyone, but this and Last Moon were the demos i enjoyed the most so far.
man there's a lot of shit on steam now
Ready for the real ludokino?
>>749864898Not next fest,, but a porn FNAF-like just released today it plays like the first gamehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4771580/Five_Nights_with_Maids/
>>749864656>Some of the game's art assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Looking at the screenshots it looks more like every single asset was created by AI and just taken as is.This is even more soulless than the usual weird Christian art these people make.

kek is this even a platformer? you cant jump https://store.steampowered.com/app/5186140/Wishknot/
>>749864947Tried out "Aesthoria : Beyond The Realm Demo." I don't think it's like Digimon at all! I respect trying to get Digimon fans though by mentioning it.Tried out "Kasasaburo's Secret Fishing Spot Demo." Idle fishing game. Couldn't resize it but you pretty much just watch Kasasaburo fish and drink sake. I don't play this genre really.
Tried "LEXICON: Lingua Obscura" demo. Scrabble Inscryption. Not as stylish as Inscryption though. Pony Island was also free recently.
what killed the hype?

guns of eschaton better be goty material to require 21GB for a demo aloneshadow mate was similarly heavy and you could beat the demo in 10 minutes
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5031210/Rise_of_the_Merchants/Like this merchant game more than the guild remake demo. Though progression seems to be rather slow once you complete most of the tutorial, I have to save up a lot of money for a town hall but for the same amount I could get another two production building set up. It feels more like a slow idle game while you do something else as it takes twenty real minutes to complete an economic cycle which you have to manually activate to get into the next one.It's also set in a persistent online world with other people but i'm not sure how it works as I can only buy from other player's towns and not sell at them.
Would you take the CurryMan's very delicious curry, /v/?https://store.steampowered.com/app/4938450/BLACKOUT_Fatal_Exposure_Demo/
>>749857568Previous Next Fest was like 50% AI slop. This one is like 80% AI slop. It's okay if they are good games, but they are not. And now they all look the same. Like you have to look 5K times on the same game. How I suppose to find good games? Seems it will be the first time when I install less than hundred demos. Also I have female MC fatigue. What the fuck? Every single one of them is female MC. Seems you need just make a male MC to make your game original and unique.
>>749870869here's a cool demo with a male MChttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4006070/Fork_the_Rich/
>>749870869male MC but you also control a girl in a valkyria chronicles lite/survival horror thingie, they're a couplehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4970020/Nightboundstill the male MC is the most important of the two
Tried "Astral Throne II: Age of the Phoenix Demo". It was good. Relaxing, frictionless, roguelite strategy.Tried Gravity Circuit 2 demo. Probably not part of the Fest but I liked Circuit's gameplay. He does a midair pose.Tried "Echoes of the flame demo." It had an AI warning. I don't think I can recommend it in good conscience.Tried "Dino Cleanup Demo". Arcade style Paper Mario cleanup 100% of the goop. Cute.
>>749871128>best I can do is a game where you play as female only 50% of the time
>>749871238fine here's something where you play as a schizoid contract killer 100% of the timehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4890770/Intravenous_3_Borderline/https://files.catbox.moe/dfyudv.webm
>>749869827>desperate freak's multi year tantrum about next fest continues
>>749871397Sounds cool
Any cute and funny core games? I see people searching far and wide.In the mean time, I wanna show off this game from the last Next Fest. I want the guy to get those 1K wish lists before sucking up to streamers or whatever desperate faggots ruining a good cunnige. He's A Hat in Time fan so that's already a win for me. You have to like shitpost games, though.
I find it funny that steam has been doing a bunch of work to help indie devs with getting exposure but now they are too afraid to showcase a demo off due to AI sloppers stealing their game. How do future game devs release games now if they are restricted to limited media exposure? Should the indie scene just die and be replaced with AI now?
>>749864947>"Warota: I Live Next to The Demon King's Castle LOL Demo"A Dragon Quest Builders like game?
What the fuck
>>749867126Why are you locked in the bathroom?
>>749872527its literally over. there is no solution
>>749872618I thought it was Minecraft. I do still have to play the Dragon Quest game in the fest and I haven't tried the spinoffs.

>>749872380Maybe this?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2220860/TSURUGIHIME/
>>749872527>How do future game devs release gamesI hope they don't.It was already nearly impossible to find real games that are made to be good games instead of made to make money with least effort possible. People criticize AAA for being profit-driven, but indies have become even worse, there's nothing but low effort flavor of the week games.

>>749874464>first next fest>wow so many games this is awesome!>X next fests later>I've already seen 100s of games exactly like these...
>>749874589use ai to generate mocking images of the whiners and spend my time actually playing demos. It's the most efficient strategy.
Tried "白銀のユークロニア Demo". It's in Japanese and I don't understand it. That's my review. It's made in the RPG Bakin engine and it's very visually nice. Probably would be better for their showcase than the other games I played.
>>749874735That's what you have to tell yourself. If everyone is as pathetic as you, then you're not a pathetic loser or something. It's not very coherent. But regardless, you're wrong anyway. This is far from my first next fest.

>>749876973A word riddle! I want to buy a vowel, Pat! Show me E!
>Demo asks for a feedbackshould i do it now or wait for the nextfest to begin?
It's baffling how anyone couldn't find demos to play. You just scroll for ten minutes and you add 5 new demos to your library to try out.Probably that decision paralysis thing. Give people a choice beyond coke or Pepsi and they freeze up and don't have a clue what to do.
Dragon Quest Monsters doesn't launch. Thanks for the blue balls.
>>749878129There's a difference between feedback and reviews. Developers want feedback so they can improve the game, the sooner the better. Reviews are for boosting the game in Steam algorithms, it might be better to get all of them coming at the same time so Steam thinks the game is popping off.
>>749876973I figured it out. He meant to say "Demon Dice" for some reason.
>>749878164scrolling for 5 minutes doesn't get me anything decent looking thoughim not just going to stick my hand in shit in the off chance its actually chocolate
Archrebel Tactics demo released this week. Tutorial is heavy, it's quite long and I miss some hotkeys here and there but overall it seems to be a great TBT/SRPG.
>>749878805>He just scrolls but never playslmao yeah I wonder why you never find anything good. you guys are so inept
>>749860927The charge double-jump took a second but once it clicks it feels fucking great. I hope it gets finished someday.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5316350/Maid_in_Wonderland_Demo/Gothic Action RPGReally nice arstyle but the gameplay is clunky cause it's clearly a game made in RPGM
>>749879957It looks lovely. Reminds me of Where They Cremate the Roadkill from the battle system. Probably the same plugins.
>>749878164Some people get filtered by the endless slop. I know my eyes were glazing over skipping card battlers in my discovery queue
does anyone have updated version of quicklinks/dlsite links+?Mine currently only shows one steam banner and a list.
>>749879598>I go to music festivals and don't listen to any bands. I cannot risk hearing a bad song.
>playing a demo where a bratty sister turns her shota brother into different foods for the godsHoly fuck it's been a while since I've played a game that made me go "what the fuck ecks dee">first mission has you inject his chest to make it grow (slightly), so you can cut off his new boobs to turn them into pork buns
>>749867126This demo was ok, you can tell the game has some polish on it's finer details. But the environments were so boring. Just generic sci-fi hallways and air vents. I put it on my wishlist for now but I hope the rest of the game is more interesting.
>>749881002A name or a link would be nice please anon.

>>749881419Seems like it's just turning him into a pastry. But still T0T
>>749881265>This demo was okNo, it wasnt. The dev claims that the game inspired by Doom 3 (an probably by HL to some extent) but there's zero interactivity with environment and invisible walls are everywhere. Stop enabling mediocrity because "the dev tried" or "dude, nostalgia".

>>749884298Holy shit, really?
I haven't tried any of the demos. It's all shit and doesn't appeal to me. Keep your AI slop, the same old recycled ideas and le quirky weeb chungus content. Indies are dead.
I post links to good human created games but call them AI Slop. They can't actually tell the difference, so they just take you at your word. They are so deranged they just can't take the chance that they would ever like an AI game. That's how I keep them from having fun during the next festival.
>>749884935The addon ddoses the steam site by loading all the preview images at once.

https://rentry.org/Oct2026NextfestRoundupList of everything I've played so far with brief descriptions and reviews, stuff I liked enough to wishlist is at the top but there's decent stuff I just didn't personally care for in the rest. As usual I segmented new additions added since last thread.
>>749885208Thanks, anon. Next one's on the mouse.
>>749885210One 500+ replies tab does not trigger the ban, maybe the addon already has delays that are just tight enough. But opening 3+ tabs full of links is a guaranteed ban for 1 hour.
any cute anime games yet? No roguelikes or card games allowed please.

The damage Next Fest does to your psyche is incalculable but you are a survivor. If you are a victim of next fest, there is mental health supports available to you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
>>749885863Next Fest hasn't even started yet bro
>>749885318Your trauma is real and valid. This is a safe space and you can talk about how Next Fest has hurt you. No one will laugh at you. If it's too hard to say out loud, we can get a doll and you can indicate on there exactly where Next Fest hurt you.

i'm getting anomalith in 10 days.
>>749860927this looks really cute and up my alley but i'm gonna hold off until the new demo they say they're putting up day of the next fest
>>749864947Well "lost curse 2 abyssal Demo" didn't actually uninstall after uninstalling it so I had to manually do so. If anyone else downloaded it you should check your steamapps folder.
>>749872527> A game so unoriginal that your fear it will be cloned with a few promptsThat sounds just dumb, its a demo, it shouldn't show enough that some vibe coder can just copy it all
Does loading even work in the Drowned Lake Demo? Idk but it was really fun. Silent Hill but you explore the town on a boat and also Death Mark NG type segments.
>>749892160its enough to steal the gameplay and loop.
>>749892771like you need AI for that, just look at PVKK and Iron Nestif you have a good gameplay concept then of course you'll have copycats. what you really need it to be able to expand on the idea well beyond the bounds of a demo
oh my god i thought Atom RPG getting turned into an FPS RPG was a jokewhat the FUCK were they thinking?
>>749892595Added ”Silver Eucronia," Drowned Lake, and Codex Lost 2.Codex Lost was a budget soulslike in a previous Fest that I enjoyed. I enjoyed the demo more than the rest of the game. More people should try it than just Souls-tubers.
this is like 2x the amount of demos from the last oneI hate how the tags are so polluted"automation" gives you 500+ games and maybe 15 of them are automation games and the rest are incremental clicker games
>>749894710it would be nice if they allowed you to use negative filters like in the normal steam search
>>749868484This filtered the fuck out of me for a good 20 minutes, then it clicked. I like it

>>7498725271. Most of these hysterical faggots are already making rip offs of rip offs of rip offs. The chinky stinky game that made headlines with pulling their demo is just Buckshot Roulette but with anime girls and dogshit music, and they had a bad game come out like not even a year ago, so they're functionally a slopmill. 2. There is no shortage of room for multiple of the same game. We've gone through like 5 years of nonstop Slay the Spire and Vampire Survivors clones, dozens together all at the same time and barely distinguishable from one another, and for the most part they all keep selling. If they aren't selling, no one is going to rip them off.3. Make your game better. The same people whining and crying about this also believe AI is still inferior to human touch, so either they don't believe that, or they're making such a dipshit simple rip off game with so little effort and vision that AI is genuinely equal to their efforts and they should be using it themselves. It's like the mediocre artists who just draw big titty anime girls standing there, being the loudest to complain about AI art, because most of what gets genned is as basic and uninspired and soulless.4. Rip offs have existed forever, any time a game blows up or looks like it might, someone shits out a Roblox clone in 5 minutes that makes 5x as much money, and that has never made the originals unsuccessful. Stop whining that you aren't getting it all, you were never going to and you never will, put the fries in the bag. "But some pissy whiners on r/indiedev or bluesky or whatever says they're making less money and their bad ripoff game failed and it's all because of AI" Unsubstantiated cope.

>>7498975821 hour in and I'm genuinely amazed by the art direction/presentation in Rain98, don't think I've seen anything that good as far as visual novels go. It really is stellar and a lot of effort has been put into it, almost felt like watching a high production anime movie. Very immersive. But the plot is a bit boring or maybe overdone so far, just not a fan of the "two depressed people against the world and btw it's a cute mysterious girl that will actually save your soul" kind of deal, but maybe there's going to be a subversion like in NHK.Also how come she suddenly decided to go back to the guy (and where/how did she find him) after 3 days kek. Not sure I can stomach anime tropes like that anymore no matter how wonderfully displayed they are.I really hope there's going to be some increase in stakes or thrill real soon, this being a time travel story better mean huge negative consequences, disgusting acts (since MC-kun forsake his future) and time fuckery going forward... but seeing that the MC described his life with Reina as "strange yet mundane" or the purpose of the game being collecting stickers I think I'm setting myself up for disappointment, likely not the target audience for it but can appreciate the effort.

>>749893668Added Kopernicus, Paluah's Trench, The Road of Dust and Sorrow, The BagManI'll be honest, Kopernicus and Paluah's Trench were really grating with how they were designed to annoy the player. Rotating the gear to restore power in Paluah's Trench is not my style of game. Kopernicus also just had me dying of oxygen loss for 1 crystal at a time. In a game design sense, I think that's like a Loop Hero-style game where it's stretched out to add more gameplay hours in the full game.The Road of Dust and Sorrow was excellent though. It's a post-apocalyptic parent sim but plays 2D like Super Lone Survivor. Very linear though but I don't mind. The BagMan too reminded me of Clock Tower. Idk if it was the only Clock Tower-like that had been announced.And I'll mention Drowned Lake again because it was awesomeIndie horror for the win

>>749933514I know and I have autism but I don't want to throw the devs efforts to wasteAnd it's likely the dialogue was written with the voice acting in mind so it would be weird to play without.

>>749920627I wish I were good enough at video games. Looks neat.
>>749934491Green download button or button to the right is a setting the developers have to change. It defaults to the right, I think, but many devs forget. The separate demo page is something the dev has to set up for the game since it's a separate store page with ideally a different description describing what's in the demo, but many devs don't bother.

>>749951218Yeah it gets auto assigned when you fill out the content survey and age ratings form.Funnily enough it wasn't banned in Russia at the start, it got restricted about a month after the store page went live. Our previous game that's been live for like 4 years also got banned in Russia when this got hit, so I guess they missed it originally and now have some goons manually crawling through steam looking for terrifying anime lesbians to ban.

>>749958081I really like the concepts and the fact there is multiple interactions instead of "THAT DOSENT GO THERE" is good. But it also is a risk of feature bloat if its not careful
>>749857568I didn't know the Lacey games series was getting a remake. Seems like a compilation of all the games plus some bonus material and minigames.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3459340/Laceys_Flash_Games/For the anons that don't know, Lacey's is a real old (mid-2000s) series of flash horror games about a girl stuck in the web. The whole premise is innocent looking websites that slowly get more and more twisted. That premise if pretty cliche by now, but this game was one of the first to do it. If you have nostalgia fro 2000s era internet you should give it a gander.

>>749969646Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed how non-interactive the hair cutting part of beastfolk barber is. Wouldn't necessarily say it's the game fault tht I expected something different, but she still.
>>749874464so fucking true.
>>749971537Yeah it was kind of lame that you only do 1-2 barber actions per customer. I wish they gave you a few more and let the dialogue roll as you perform them.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4838130/Edge_of_the_Blade/Gave this a try, it's an autobattler version of total war that has a big oni girlThe battles dont feel as fun to watch as other autobattlers or even total warThere doesnt seem to be much tactical depth to it as your stratagem skills don't really do that much and there's not much variation to positioning your troops than putting squishy ranged behind and chaff in the front
>>749976750>this is what female gamers crave>horsesyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>749977986jesus fucking christ have some self respect. dev's shitting on you and you're sitting there with an open mouth.
>>749978121i find the premise of a 3d sandbox cultivation game interesting after trying out amazing cultivation simulator(and the devs are taking forever to make their 3d sequel of it), so i want to know if anyone here even tried the last demo
>>749977986>No Mortal Spacemore like no disk space amirite
>>749976854Depends on the regulations. I know UK and Japan banned artificial inseminations for race horses for example. Not sure how it is in the US
>>749977832We're literally this picture
>>749977986I wouldn't be surprised if it's the full game in there and a flag to stop you at a certain point.
>>749978191It kinda just looks like Undefeated by Chinese to me.
>>749976617>>749976750Either bots or effect of some really viral post or video, I don't see other options.
>>749978878Or maybe this is actually what female gamers crave
>>749978878You seem unaware of how crazy horse girls are. There's train autism for men. For women, it's this.
>>749963098That's 90% of indie games
>>749979065>>749979118I don't disagree, but they had to find the game somehow.
I would pay money for a good game to play but there aren't any so I'm not paying money. I'm just going to play skyrim again.

I like that next fest is a perfect microcosm of the content flooding of the internet that was already happening and is now accelerated by LLM tools. Overwhelming noise generated in game form by hopeful souls, screeched out into the void for money, fame or simple recognition. Who will play these games? Who should play these games? Why? The pointless struggle against oblivion. Rather interesting that.

>nextfest starts>find 9 games worth playingWOOOOOOOOOW
I don't know if anyone else has the kind of brain damage needed to look at Melvor Idle 2, but I'd recommend against it.For a game that's designed to be Runescape's skill grind distilled, there's ZERO actual progression.Take the basic woodcutting, which is the very first thing you start with. You have a tree that you can cut down in 3 seconds. Now, let's say you finish the demo and get all progression that's available, something that would take many days. Now how fast might you be able to cut that basic, basic tree, that gives nothing useful any more? Take a moment to guess.The answer is: 2.68 seconds.I would unironically suggest https://time.is/Unix_time as a superior alternative, giving you all the numbers-go-up feeling without any of the fluff. Because cutting out the fluff is a good thing, isn't it, Melvor?
>>749995893Is that not enough? How many did you want?
>>749994697I liked Tumor Necrosis
>>749995360>Demo delayed till February because some of the devs got the coofYou couldnt write it
