>Throwing food at everything until it becomes a friend
I understand everything now. Friendship is in fact, the greatest power, because you can just get your new friends to kill things for you. Or throw your new friends at things. The last boss in the demo has different attack patterns once it loses enough health, but just having enough food to befriend it instead lets you skip that.

Fucking fantastic demo. Game is basically an anime Alice in Wonderland Vanillaware action game, that is also a rougelike, that is also for some reason fucking poker.
Production quality is insanely high; art is fucking astonishingly beautiful, gameplay flow is very solid, the poker twist with a rougelike is actually unique and works really well.

Feels like this is almost expected with these games. I was likewise disappointed with Labyrinth of the Demon King. Great atmosphere, liked the setting, but everything else was made to be annoying.
>pick up a generic item that you find 5 of within 10 minutes of play
>game freezes, you get a closeup of the 3D mesh of the item, game asks you "Do you want to pick this item up?", select yes or no
This shit was done back then because it wasn't always easy to tell exactly what was what at low resolutions and back then it just looked cool that you could inspect a 3D object. Neither of these are the case any longer, no I do not want to see that damn generic brown healing pouch mesh for the 20th time this session.

Anywhere RPG shows promise as an AI driven game still in beta. The main problem I had is that the scenario we are given for the demo sucks but on the other hand it makes me look forward to get the game and make my own so maybe it did its job.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5103870/Anywhere_RPG/
>>
>>750013460
hyperbole nothing. honest devs know the difference between generative AI and automated tools like a spellchecker of an IDE's intellisense
no one is going to consider the AI summary that google shoves down anyone's throats to be a part of their workflow when they were just trying to find a page off stackexchange to understand something
if anything, I've only seen the AI disclosure used improperly by foreign devs that conflate a machine translation with an AI translation, because the wording is close enough that they don't understand the difference. These are the only devs I offer a modicum of lenience to.
Anyone other use case is in for a penny and in for a pound.

>>750014252
Just be grateful that the game itself is supposed to be pretty lightweight, leaving a lot more space for your GPU to run the local LLMs and yes, I do mean plural. You will need one for image generation (Items and the like can be custom generated), one for storytelling, and optionally even one for voiceovers. If you have the VRAM and want to try plugging LLMs into an RPG now, try AI Roguelite. It's from the same people as Anywhere RPG.

VFX, SFX, screenshake, hitpause, and similar things need to be used both sparingly and judiciously.
Drown the game in too much of it and it looks like shit, they gotta be used to accentuate moments of adrenaline and impact to get the most punch out of it.
Very rarely do I see an excess of VFX work out well. I think the last time off the top of my head would've been the absolute clusterfuck of flashing going onscreen in a high score in any of the bit.trip games.

I liked Elta, it's rough around the edges and visually busy during combat, but the core gameplay is responsive and fun despite being simple. It looks like they're only charging $30 for it, so if most of the game is engaging then the flaws will hopefully turn out easier to forgive. Either way, refreshing to see a 3D Metroidvania instead of yet another 2D one

Annalyn MD - Cute Dr. Mario/Puyo style block dropping game. I thought I was starting to grasp how combos worked by the end but the last stage is brutal. The campaign mode has a "roguelike" element but it really just means picking modifiers that affect both you and your opponent.

How I suppose to check all demos if steam don't want to show them to me. I've removed all blacklisted tags and checked every category which interests me. I've checked a few times. After I've done with single tag, I've combined two tags. Many time I've seen same games which steam show me. I've decided I checked almost everything in 8K demos. It took a few full days.

And what do I see when next fest began? I've opened charts and see huge list of games which I never met while watching lists of demos. All these games which I see first time in the same categories which I've checked from top to down, every fucking game in list.

How I suppose to find good interesting games if steam hide them from me? Steam tells you "Hey hey, I have 8K games for you." And then, when you pick tags and steam tells you there is 350 games, and when you listed about 50-150, steam stopped and show the games is over. What the fuck! You tell me you have 350 of them.

Okay, I could probably decide steam showed me the best one and other games which steam don't want to show me just garbage. But why all these trash games now in top charts. WTF! Steam hides from me good games! How I suppose find good games if steam hide them and trying to feed me only with AI garbage?

Until they actually show you all of the games (even if they are rightfully bad and deserve to be hidden and obfuscated to find), it's been akin to panning for gold on the riverbanks trying to not feel a little bad each time you see just bad ai images while looking for things you'd actually want to play.

I'm halfway through episode 4 at the moment, I like Ange but it feels much slower compared to episode 3 even though I hated every Evatrice moment.
That being said I would really prefer my murder mysteries to be interactive with choices, even if this is supposed to be based on a book.
>>
>>750025337
Episode 4 is extremely painful on a first-read, mostly because you're leaving the island where the "fun" things happen and have to go through the maria segments and I remember them being really drawn out. Taken in isolation and retrospect, it's actually one of the most important episodes and hints revealing a lot about how the culprit thinks, their dynamic with Maria and so on.
I'd suggest you to power through it, if only for the last stretch of the chapter and the tea party at the end which I remember being immersive and hype respectively.
And yeah, I agree. I wish the 07th VNs had all some form of gameplay or interactivity like Rose Guns Days. Umineko chiru does have one small segment in episode 8 where you can do things that said.

It looks like the screenshots except the environment is some copy-paste stone brick mazes and the lighting is worse. And of course the UI is ugly. They were bullshots. I killed the first three enemies I found and got enough souls to level up 28 times. I dumped it all into strength and it did jackshit for my damage. The combat is terribly balanced and jank in a million different ways that'd take too long to describe.

I tried it and, well, it's a parrying game. The enemies are all completely quiet with no sound effects for anything they do though so you're just watching for weapon flashes or memorizing patterns, which you do in many other games like this, but the quietness really makes it feel like going through the motions. Has some interesting ideas with the roguelike elements and some parts of the combat system, but I've personally never played a demo that had bad sound design where that got rectified in the full game.

The boss has some wacky ass tracking on her line attacks, sometimes even if I dodge she just tracks me like a darksouls boss. It took me a long time beating her until I just positioned at range out of her line attacks because it kept killing me a dozen times trying to dodge them in close range.
The normal enemies are too easy though, the only difficulty is how visually cluttered and cramped the arenas are compared to hades. The poker cards feel like they don't do much other than the one that gives an anchor attack or damage buff on dodge.
You get more value out of the extra skill attacks than cards, but the skills are either pure dogshit or just OK and the ultimate skill is unusable as you don't get enough charge after getting it for the boss.

Scarlet Beret's demo ended up being less good than what I had hoped, even if Fabienne is a real cutie. Will try the full game still. Yurishitters might appreciate this VN.

The art is cute, same for the backgrounds. A lot of effort went into replicating 07th's style, if you had told me it was some doujin visual novel he made I would've believed it, save for the music and sound design which were hit or miss. The subtle sprite transitions, blurry and otherworldly backgrounds, even the autistic focus on chess metaphors during tangents like in Higurashi, Umineko or even Ciconia. It's all there, albeit overused. Up to reader it's charming or a ripoff.

But the writing and plot feel unfocused, if not rushed. The English TL had a few spelling mistakes and other grammatical issues, I'll try reading it in French since it probably is the original language of the script, and where the book inspiration of this game came from. A bit strange considering they didn't translate "murder mystery" in the intro, making me assume English was the original language.
Also minor and somewhat personal issue, but I'm sure the math teacher's name Matthias is used for males, not females. I can't fathom why they would decide to use this name for a woman character, especially since the name "Mathilde", common in France, would've conveyed the pun all the same.

Spoilers specifically about the plot of the demo but what the fuck are the adults even doing lol. Estelle and Fabienne going into a supposedly burning building (and smoke didn't choke them lol) didn't even elicit one reaction or line of dialogue from them when they're supposed to monitor the situation. Same goes for the auditorium announcement, it's the kind of thing that should've required more presence from the adults imo. And on one hand Fabienne is favored by the principal which could partially explain her relative freedom but then we see she lives in a cramped basement room.

I don't care about that, I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised because there's no fucking way there's enough independent developers worldwide that there's so many new indie games released every single day and most of them are AI slop with choose 3/roguelite/deckbuilder/vampire survivors mechanics or whatever FOTM trend there is like cleaning up an area and a significant amount of them have them being their developer's only release so far, though I can't tell what the actual percentage is because I don't want to check tens of thousands of games. All the "I made a simple game that is heavily monetized" asset flippers using some phone game making software are already drawn to the mobile vidya industry and there was plenty of asset flipped slop before vibecoding showed up too.

AI demos PLUS releasing your demo opens you up to getting decomped, AI repackaged and resold before you even launch your game.

It's pretty much over.

Hark, brethren of the digital void, I bear witness to the end of times!
What a monumentally radioactive, catastrophic, soul-crushing apocalyptic wasteland of a Next Fest we have been cursed with! In eras past, I would spend ninety-six consecutive hours, eyes bleeding, hyper-focusing on the beautifully curated tapestries of indie passion, scrolling through miles of artisanal code. But lo, the horizon has fallen! The digital well has been thoroughly poisoned with a billion-gigabyte tsunami of unholy, procedurally generated, AI-regurgitated asset-flipped toxic waste! It is a literal flood of pure, unadulterated, automated garbage-slop, and merely looking at the store page for three seconds has inflicted terminal exhaustion upon my very soul.
The dream of discovery is dead! I am abandoning the front lines and retreating into the absolute cowardice of checking only my hyper-curated, pre-approved, baseline wishlist games and the mathematically proven most-downloaded titles before slipping into a permanent coma.
What a cosmic, universe-shattering betrayal! I am weeping, screaming, and throwing up into my keyboard. I desperately pray that our Lord and Saviour Gabe Newell descends from the heavens in a chariot of fire, wields the mighty Ban Hammer of Judgement, and completely purges this digital pestilence from the face of the Earth!

This was pretty fun. All the charmingly outdated parts of KF but none of the frustratingly outdated parts.
Or at least that's how the demo felt — I don't know if the full game will have plot-critical items you can easily miss.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5088440/Rip_It_Card_Collector/ Gonna be a fine game to drink beer and listen to music to.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2975260/PRISON_OF_HUSKS/ I really wanted to like it because the ps2 graphics are on point, but building the entire combat around parrying is just bullshit. Every enemy bumrushes you and gives you no space to counterattack unless you perfectly parry their combo that never seems to end. And I have soulsop fatigue even though the last Souls game I played was Dark Souls 2 like 10 years ago.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4735310/The_Red_Mountain/?curator_clanid=39049601 This seems interesting but one dude complained in it's forum that the game got flagged by his defender so I didn't dare to try it yet.

>cabaret singer's movelist feels like a mess with her special>super cancels
>animations are jank
>uncommon inputs like 461 HP, unironically this is fine
>two characters are clones
>my up and down inputs are reversed in the default mapping
But then it felt like it could be a fine $2 game that you play with your friends or for shits and giggles at a because one of the characters is a Kung Fu Hustle ref and the Rekka character feels smooth.
Other than that it's a pretty basic game with EX moves and some chains based on the Light/Heavy Punch and Kicks. Nothing zany or noticable in terms of anything else, I didn't notice shit like slime rush or a parry or anything major

>Airframe Ultra

>It's a retro, fast-paced, Wipeout-esque third-person PvP combat-racing shooter with hoverbike and on-foot gameplay, plus some genuinely wild movement and stunt potential. Made by the same devs as Rain World.

It's such a vibe! Def worth trying out the demo if you like schmovement games or PSX-style games regardless of the genre. It's out next month, and probably a day-one buy for me if the price is not as horrendous as Rain World.

Its not like we havent discovered games during previous next fests specifically because they had a demo available, agnostic if the game was participating or not.
If someone puts out a demo that captivates someone into sharing it, thats still within the spirit of the fest and that fun is what matters more than semantics over participation.

Agreed
I don't get the autism over demos being exclusively from the next fest
>>
>>750044043
It's because devs have to exclusively sign up for Nextfest

A good demo should get attention by merit of it being good.
Whether it signed up to be featured in the fest is unrelated to that. And if anything the fact that it got attention despite not being featured should be regarded as a good thing.
Its a demo fest, just enjoy the demos that you find fun and share what you find with people you think might also enjoy them

>>750044443
Hmmm no I feel like that's stolen valor from the people who actually associated themselves with the Demo Festival
>>
In fairness to the devs who did sign up for Next Fest I believe that these threads should be for Next Fest demos
There's nothing stopping you from sharing non-Next Fest demos in a non-Next Fest thread, and in fact I encourage you to do so

I enjoyed Your Painting, Sir
The main gameplay consists of cutting out newspaper clippings to approximately recreate paintings for your nearly-blind boss, and there will apparently be a bunch of other things to scour the newspaper for as well, like hidden aliens in the photos

Never played it. I just have a thing for silly girls that can fit an unrealistic amount of attached handkerchiefs in her mouth, can tie balloon animals, and isnt a stranger to getting a pie in the face.
