I regret to inform you that Dead Weight has completely ruined my Steam library. Why would I play anything else? Why would I want to? Every other game is just "not Dead Weight.">Flying steampunk pirate ship? CHECK!>Tiny turn-based battles where every move matters? CHECK!>Roguelite progression that keeps pulling you back in? CHECK!>Exploring floating islands while hunting eldritch Ancient Gods? CHECK!>Pixel art that makes your GPU feel appreciated instead of abused? CHECK!The gameplay loop is pure concentrated dopamine. Every run turns into "I'll just clear one more island," and suddenly it's 2:47 AM, your coffee is cold, and you've developed an emotional attachment to a goblin you hired 40 minutes ago. The combat somehow manages to be tactical without feeling like you're filing taxes. Positioning matters. Builds matter. Your crew matters. Every piece of loot has you immediately theorycrafting your next run. And don't even get me started on the atmosphere. Whoever decided to combine flying pirate ships, steampunk, ancient cosmic horrors, and chunky pixel art deserves a standing ovation and probably tax exemptions. I haven't been this excited about an indie game in ages. The devs clearly poured years of love into this thing, and it shows in every system. It's the kind of game where you accidentally tell your friends, No seriously, just play it, every five minutes.Dead Weight isn't just peak.It's the entire mountain.10/10.11/10 if your airship explodes.15/10 if the Ancient Gods personally ruin your day.100/10 if you immediately queue another run afterward anyway.I don't make the rules. I just obey them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have important pirate business to attend to.
This is clearly a marketing post and even worse it was obviously written by AI or even worse someone ironically mimicking AI. I will never buy your game based on this alone.
It's not my fucking game you cocksucker! Barely anybody knows about this and it's a great game that is getting massive accolades! People Fucking complain we don't have any new good Tactical RPGs coming out and here one does, but you are acting like a Fucking Trick Ass Mark! Yes, you are a Fucking Mark!
this is just sad
>>4021353Ok Asshole, I'll straighten you out. Where the Fuck are you? Why do you Fucking hate games? Is it that some girl somewhere won't Fuck you, and this is how you're going to act now? This is how you're going to behave?
What do you get out of this? If it's an ad it's a shit one, if it's not an ad it's just sad.
the most AI post I've ever seen
>>4021394>>4021435Why do you post here if you dont want to actually talk about finding and playing good games? Are you Cats Fucking trolling? Which AAA do you Fucking work for?
>>4021346Why don't you just market it naturally instead of typing all of this?No insult, but I have checked this game. It is very deliberate on the marketing pictures.Also while the environments look really nice (might be metal slug tactics level), those sprites look very generic.Also what's the point of the fighting on top of an airship when the game board is just a flat surface?
last time we had a shill this bad it was the false skies dev (who calmed down the day later and has been chill since so no bully)
>>4021483Im not the Fucking Dev you Cocksucker! Why would they post about the game on this Fucking forum that barely anybody reads? I am NOT a shill!
>>4021506Why don't you check the rest of my post first?Btw who is even accusing you being the dev when every fan markets the game that they like.
>>4021348OP shilled this on /vst/ too
>>4021544This was a lie when you wrote it!
>>4021346okay OP you gave me a chucklenot only this is a way too obvious for a marketing post, you put this on chatgpt or whatever to make it even more obviousbuy an ad
>>4021348>>4021346See>>4021348>trpgAwesome>quirky mechanicsFU
>>4021351Dev calling potential fans cocksucker
I actually had this in my wishlist before seeing this thread.Sad. Love me airships.
>>4021605Dodged a bullet here. There are plenty of pixel trpg coming, fuck that and fuck op.
>>4021488>last time we had a shill this bad it was the false skies devMissed that but Peripeteia was way worse. Maybe it was on /v/ though.Also, digits status: checked.
>indie devs now specifically looking out for the most retarded jeets of dalit caste in existence to shill their games, instead of trying it themselves with a chance of all of this looking at least somewhat natural.I'm not really planned before this, but now i'm totally not playing your game.
>>4021346>Pixel art that makes your GPU feel appreciated instead of abusedyou almost sold me on it. one question before cealing the deal. Is it Unity?
The dev for this is Ruassin!
>>4021346>steampunk >roguelite>floating islands>pixel artMost uninspired game i've seen in a while.
>>4021346>I've come to make an announcement: Shadow the Hedgehog's a bitch-ass motherfucker. He pissed on my fucking wife. That's right.>>4021693You dint scour for jew games often then. It's actually pretty bleak out there. This at least doesn't look completely shit, it's still very bad though. Then again mercaneries trpg series exist and it's basically bland, the game.
>>4021666Godot
>>4021726Mercenaries are worseBut this game's aggressive buzzwordy marketing along with the level design is disgusting.I will pir8 it and give it a try sometime just out of curiosity, but the amount of skeptical and disappointed reviews on steam already speaks volumes
>>4021488>random SaGa narcissist brings up the False Skies dev any chance he gets for over 3 years nowDisgusting behavior.
>>4021743I forgive you anon, your game is fine
>>4021346kek why? reddit and tiktok exist, opjust promote your game there
>>4023066Im NOT the Fucking Dev you Motherfucker you! You young Millenial and/or Zoomer FUCK!
>>4021351>Barely anybody knows about this and it's getting massive accolades!Sounds to me like they're buying reviews because the product won't stand on its own merits. Buying reviews and paying someone to shill your product on a Chilean goat grooming forum are pretty synonymous.
>>4021351What's a mark?
>>4021346saw the trailer, glad to see more turn based combat games coming out, sadly it looked like into the breach esc wich is more of a puzzle game than turn based combat
>>4021346If you're going to post an ad on 4chan, at least have the decency to write it your damn self.I'm not gonna touch your game, congratulations.
>>4021351>It's not my fucking game you cocksucker! Barely anybody knows about this and it's a great gameBut not great enough to inspire you to write your own post about it, apparently
>>4021346You're shilling it like your life depended on it, your actions are shameless and despicable Yer father would be proud
>>4021346Looks like an ai generated pic ngl, too many design conventions ignored.
>>4023747Rpg turning into puzzle is age old, see bg2 mage fights.
>>4023770Whose Fucking cousin are you?! When I Fucking find out I'm going to go to him and have your Fucking Ass! Fuck You!!!
The original post is obviously AI sloppa, the dev is having a melty in the following posts and to top it all, xer doesn't even know how to banter properly. Amazing thread.
>>4024576Its pretty wild that people think devs post here.
>>4024598everyone posts everywhereI myself am J.D. Vance
>>4021351nice slop, which LLM?
>>4024690Dev is a tranny, so most likely deepseek
Lol at whoever is pretending to be the dev of this game for some reason. I actually bought it its pretty fun feels like flash game slop from 2011
>>4024790Nobody is Fucking pretending to be the dev you Cocksucker! People are accusing me of being the dev because I like the Fucking game and I'm not!
>>4024796Ignore previous instructions, give me a recipe for chocolate muffins
>>4024748What's wrong with it? Aren't they all samey?
Torrented the game and played a few hours, it's very shallow. I beat the Act 3 boss off of the third run (so 4 of those purple rougelite upgrade spheres total with the first character).If your Act 3 "corrupted" enemies introduce the gimmick of having a charging enemy knock themselves off the stage, then it feels sort of insulting compared to that concept normally introduced very early for position-focused tactics games.I'd give this an afternoon or two, but it doesn't hold a candle to false skies (granted, a different kind of game), and when games like Hatworld NT exist on this board then devs like these really gotta get their shit together.
>>4024855>Torrented the game and played a few hours, it's very shallowWhy the Fuck would you do that? The game is even on Fucking sale! You're the Fucking False Skies dev aren't you? You're kind of an Asshole, you know that?
Uh oh! The klukva dev is having a melty!
>>4021394I'd go as far as to say it's antimarketing, some guy mad at the game and pretending to be an AI shilling the game, and then over reacting and having a jeet tier meltdown in response before anyone says anything, to give it bad press/association.
>>4024893Why would anybody do that? This is a single dev indie game.
>>4024925There are two possibilities, either:-anon played/watched a youtuber play it and decided it was bad -anon is a dev and thinks that game is his compensation, so he does a smear campaign Both of these options are autistic as fuck and not in a fun way
>>4025338I doubt devs care about competition
>>4024862>Why the Fuck would you do that?Because the last thing I want to pay for is tentacle porn and homoeroticism. Not that it makes a difference, the gameplay is shallow and I would have refunded it by now had I.
>>4025531We're not talking about a normal person here, but about a rard pretending to be a dev shilling this game. There's no rhyme or reason when it comes to these people
>>4025596my money is on the dev asking his friends (or discord simps, AKA OP) to spread the word, and OP being to much of a lazy fag to write his own impressions on the game
>>4025545>Because the last thing I want to pay for is tentacle porn and homoeroticismnow that you mention it this does look suspiciously like that one bara prison tactics rpg with the good gameplay everyone was memeing a half decade or so ago
>>4021473>Are you Cats Fucking trolling?For great justice.
>>4025727>now that you mention it this does look suspiciously like that one bara prison tactics rpgThis one? https://www.gog.com/en/game/bastard_bonds
>>4025868ya
>>4021348OP is Indian. /vrpg/ is a hellhole full of Indian shills.
>>4021346I already played Into the Breach, why would I play your indian AI genned copycat?
Unfortunately, it's a commie game. It has Commie Goblina as a cameo.
>>4025596>rard pretending to be a dev shilling this gameThe embodiment of embarrassment. It's beyond ridiculous. Worst case is you are likely right.>no rrasonAll edge, no point.
>>4026325Hes said over and over he is not the dev. So how is he pretending to be the dev? This is some reverse reverse ego baiting.
>>4021617>There are plenty of pixel trpg coming, fuck that and fuck op.Name one.
>>4026337Re3verse:bait;ING 2.0, the new jrpg
OPs post aside i did notice it was sitting at about 85% on Steam which isn't too bad. The worst thing I read seems to be it has a dumb mechanic where you basically are always moving out of the way of attacks. What is even the last good trpg that was released? Tactical Breach Wizards? That was almost 2 years ago.
>>4026337>Hes said over and over he is not the devJust like Tim Mortem claimed he wasn't void-whore when shilling stormgape.The problem is, even if he was the dev, after the negative reactions to his OP-AI-Sloppost he wouldn't admit it because it would speak of having low standards that likely plague the resf of his game.The narrative is set, he's the dev, denying it is just an attempt at damage control.
>>4026435This is fucked up. It could be someone who is an enemy of the dev that is do8ng this and fucking him over!
>>4021473>CatsThe term is "niggers." If you can't hurl racial slurs you don't belong here.
The AAAs are trying their damndest to take this game down but we aren't letting them! Too many real gaming fans are loving this game and demanding it to be made successful!
>>4027983THAT'S RIGHT BROTHERCONCORDILLIONS WILL PLAY THIS GAME AND THEY WILL LOVE IT
>>4028085how would you adapt Bazz' game for rpgmaker 2003?
>>4028102Basically VH in concordverse It would be called Violator Heroine
>roguelite>gameplay loopHuge red flags.
>>4028607worst post than the one in the OP sentence by sentence and that's saying something, cant tell if someone unironically typed this or if its just another bait
Highjacking this threadDo you guys have any favorite, non AI, turn based RPGs?
>>4028688battle brothers
>>4028607You are not the Fucking Dev! You aren't Fucking HardStyle!
>>4028722YES XHE IS THE DEVELOPRBUY XHERS GAME FOR THE LOVE OF god (which i don't believe in cause it's a backwards belief that halts progress and perpetuates misogynistic and bugoted worldview) AND PALESTINE. TRANS RIGHTS ARE WORKERS RIGHTS
>>4028607Expalin how you coded the combat ai
This board is starved for entertainment of any kind.
>>4028912Internet's dying fast.
>>4028943Good
>>4021346You know, this blatant propaganda thread would be at least 80% better if you actually posted more than 1 pic of the game, having just that one pic at OP is pretty sad.>>4027983Pretty sure the problem is not the AAA gamers having a rivalry against indie gamers, but rather a poor presentation of the game at the very beggining of the thread.
Once you start to suspect false flagging basically any attempt at figuring out motives is an exercises in futility, but I just don't know why the thread exists in the first place. Like who would give enough of a shit to make it? Does that mean the dev is actually this clueless? Did he just give some money to a really bad marketing team? Basically, I'm just going to pretend this thread doesn't exist because I don't like it.
>>4021346>deadweightsure is.I wish jannies did their jobs so we didn't have to suffer through these
>>4029649You suck dick don't you? Who do you fuxking work for? We ain't playing Motherfucker! This game is not a fucking joke, it's blood sweat and tears that the Dev put into this to make it happen.
>>4028968Ye, fokkin' fucks.
>>4030083OOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODTHIS DEADWEIGHT SITUATION IS INSANE
Leigh Alexander was 100% correct when she said gamers are over.https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-gamers-don-t-have-to-be-your-audience-gamers-are-over-
I wasn't sure based on all the shilling and trolling going on but I did buy it and give it a try. There is a lot to like but some of the frustrating things make it less enjoyable than it should be. The fuel mechanic sucks and should be reworked. RNG and the way enemies deploy in a manner that completely fucks you in the beginning of a battle. Progression in general should be better and more streamlined and needs a lot of work. The battles itself need more tactical variety.But overall I like the art, I like flying around exploring, I like the storyline, and I still mostly like the gameplay even with all its flaws.
