so with more UT/DR fangames and mods coming out, what do you think the future of the scene will look like?doomed to AU hell or will the majority be fangames with original ideas.
>>4070173I think were going to see more original ideas if your image and some of the local games keep getting worked on. Theres always going to be skeletonslop and all that but game dev seems to be getting more accessible. My biggest worry is the greater fandom is very stifling, but I feel the current of people getting sick of that to some extent at least.You can see some of that in the subfanbase for dry for instance
so I finally finished setting the tiles for this area, probably the most complex area in the game so far with the amount of nodes and layers for the tiles/background objectsI mentioned that I was going to add a festival to DRY after chapter 5, and I already had plans for a festival like area even before that chapter happened, and it's finally herejust gotta make all the npcs, events and minigames here. after each minigame, the npcs will change around and get new dialogue so there is new stuff to do every timethe ferris wheel also spins and characters can sit inside of it (there will be cutscenes there)this is still for the first half of this dark world, after this is the 2nd half, will likely not show as many things from the 2nd half since I want to keep the contents a surprise for nowmight show some clips once I start coding some of the minigames/enemies later
>>4070175>a REAL festivalIm excited, definitely looking forward to the ferris wheel scenes
>>4070175Add the evil basketball minigame from chapter 1 as an optional minigame, and be sure to call it "The Evil Basketball Minigame" and make the guy running it be appropriately evil and sadistic. But then have a really good prize for actually beating it.
>>4070175Looks like the festival we got teased with in that famitsu article released before chapter 5.
>>4070175To this day it still amazes me how fast you are at making DRY1
>>4070182I did think about it but I think it's better to just leave the game in chapter 1 seeing how many people disliked it, besides I already have ideas for all the other minigames and adding more now would make the chapter too long (this isn't like the tenna boards in chapter 3, the minigames will be short-ish, but I want to make them fun)>>4070190I've pretty much given up all my hobbies and side projects so I can finish this hopefully sometime by next year, so I can then focus on my other projects (including the original game idea)
>>4070197I'm just saying bring it back as a gag. Or at least fake out bringing it back. Like the basketball guy shows up and offers you a game, only for Kanako to immediately reject being pelted with basketballs again.Or maybe its like the schizo boss of minigames, hidden in a back alley behind all the other games, and its the Kaizo Evil Basketball Game.
>>4070204Oh, and the game plays Black Knife when you play it, or some other suitably intense song.
>>4070205>"create a minigame to thrash your own ass">"imported from lancer industries (which was made up a few years into the future)">all the components are the basketball game
Watching some people do playthroughs of Deltarune (you can only play Deltarune for the first time once, so watching other people do it is the next best thing, and can be very informative.) I think I was correct in saying Flowery and Pink completely crashed the value of voice clips. None of the people who fought Jevil after seeing them gave a shit about him or his gimmick.
>>4070217I still think he ended up being the best shadow crystal boss overall, I wish they shilled him a bit like the spammy mailmanI think voice acting can work in UTDR but restraint should be practiced if it's going for a gimmicky mixed media approach like Flowery
>>4070219I think Flowery just ruined it for all the other bosses. The restraint would've been not including him. I think my experience with chapters 3, 4, and especially 5 has made me a hardline minimalist when it comes to these games. Less is more, and more is less.As for the best shadow crystal boss, Spamton wins purely off of writing alone. He's the best written thing in this game by a landslide.
i kiss the utdr or fangame character from the next posted pic, whom shall my lips feel the warm embrace of?
>>4070233
>>4070234welp, i hit jackspot, i bet it feels nice, thanks anon
>>4070217Personally speaking I think between Tenna and even the fangame Scampton the Great voice clips became a bit mundane a concept before Chapter 5. I also think people care a little too much about making sure they have strictly unique character gimmicks that haven't been done before rather than choosing a gimmick, if one is needed at all, that bolsters the boss's personality or themes.Shower thought, Jevil and Flowery both have themes of being free, unrestrained by the confines of the world they're in, and they both regularly talk via voice clips.
>>4070250> I also think people care a little too much about making sure they have strictly unique character gimmicks that haven't been done before rather than choosing a gimmick, if one is needed at all, that bolsters the boss's personality or themes.The problem is that with the voice clips, overuse hamstrings the themes present with them, completely defeating the purpose of them and retroactively neutering the bosses that used them better. Its like how DBZ ruined super saiyan by giving it out for free.>Shower thought, Jevil and Flowery both have themes of being free, unrestrained by the confines of the world they're in, and they both regularly talk via voice clips.I know, that's just Flowery rehashing Jevil's character, but louder, devaluing it in the process.
>>4070241Have you never kissed a plush before?
>>4070255nah, never got one
Here's a Roba with large Robas that I felt like sharing. It's catboxed cause the way her things are out wouldn't fly on this board.https://files.catbox.moe/rrqqrr.jpg
>>4070260In your life?
Will GTA 6 affect Kanacole stocks?
>>4070264yeah?
>>4070266why would it? the audiences are completely different
>>4070255Why would you kiss a plush? And the Dark World would make it feel more real, it would probably feel like cotton candy
>>4070261>cause the way her things are out wouldn't fly on this board.hell it looks like the way her things are, they are going to fly out!
>>4070270Goddamnit anon, you got a chuckle out of me.
>>4070267even as a child you never had a teddy bear or a rag doll?
>>4070268People might get tired of a dude/gf duo, and the GTAs are one of the most popular games ever, so they would have a very wide reach.
>>4070275yeah, i never got one, that's what i said
>>4070269>Why would you kiss a plush?To kiss them goodnight, of course. You wouldn't want them to feel neglected.> it would probably feel like cotton candyWhy cotton candy specifically?
>>4070277What a sorrowful youth you had.
>>4070276that's already happening regardless because twitter hates any hetero relationship, see them complaining about the clown couple from endocopia being straight and nothing bad happening in their relationship
>>4070278I don't know. It would feel weird to kiss a plush, feels like it's forcing yourself on it>Why cotton candyBecause it is similar to plush stuffing and BunBun is sweet as a character
>>4070283Well the people who don't actually hate that, might consciously or subconsciously treat DRY worse since they have been already exposed to a similar idea.
>>4070276>People might get tired of a dude/gf duoanon, I desperately need you to understand how silly this is.The kind of people that COULD get tired of this are already "tired" of it. they are already the types that say "shipping Ceroba is abusive to her (unless it's yuri)" because these people were already insane, and also weren't the target audience for gta 6. Even if they play it, I don't care about their opinions in the first place.>>4070293Anon no that's silly.
>>4070287>I don't know. It would feel weird to kiss a plush, feels like it's forcing yourself on itFirst of all, you can kiss a plush platonically. They're your friends, and are innocent souls at heart (at least the childhood ones are, I wouldn't know the disposition of the plushes people buy from adult websites). An innocent loving kiss like a mother would give a child is something they would appreciate.Second of all, BunBun is alive and aware enough to know what's going on. I'm sure she would tell you if she's not okay with a kiss.>Because it is similar to plush stuffing and BunBun is sweet as a characteroh you meant on the inside. I was thinking about the felt/wool on the outside. Most plushes, or at least the kind meant for children like BunBun, don't have exposed stuffing. I kinda imagined her mouth as just being a different colored patch of fabric that changes shape when she talks.
>>4070266It might already be affecting them. Maybe its why Abib is being so aggressive lately, he doesn't want Deltarune taking up space for GTA 6 threads.
>>4070307Granted, I know it's not productive to dwell on stuff like this and it gets in the way of game discussion, but what do you mean "lately"? It's been a problem for 2 years now, that's one more year than one.
who would bully Orange more? Sadie or Kanako?
>>4070317neither what are you talking about.
>>4070317neither of them, thats just a ralsei thing.now melody/mylo on the other hand...>M: "hey cole, i know how to solve the problem of this rat before she even gets to be a miniboss">C: "please dont">melody picks up orange as she struggles against her grip>melody walks outside of the flower castle>chucks her as far as she can>M: "there we go!">C: "WHY????">M: "each of the flowers has been a miniboss so far, so i decided to solve that one early"
>>4070305What if it doesn't want to be kissed platonically either? What if it feels as if it has been trapped in your home against its will, with it hating it? If you are going to treat a plush as a character instead of just an object, then don't go halfway.A gentle headpat will suffice. And I was talking about IRL, of course the Dark world is different, they can actually say what they think.
>>4070317I don't think either of them would. If anything Kanako is going to be neglectful of her rather then confrontational
>>4070261>tailWe need to congratulate this Roba for overcoming her mental deficiencies.I'd bet the rack upgrade is actually her finally able to flex some proper kitsune illusions.
why the fuck can't you faggots just go to /vg/
>>4070368Harsh anon.>spoilerEveb harsher, jesus you didn't need to go for the throat that hard. Mark my words, when I'll finally draw her as well, she'll have a rack worthy of the Roba.
>>4070173>fangames with original ideas.So more AUs?
>>4070397Most AUs aren't original, they exist as an excuse to have different versions of Sans
>>4070403They still are based around original ideas.
>>4070317Sadie wouldn't at all. Kanako might get frustrated with her, but otherwise wouldn't. Melody absolutely would.
gizmo bullying orange
Wplould it be a romantic/pickup line for fire elementals if you were to ask them if they wanna be your match?
>>4070173UTY luckily has opened the floodgates for more OC works beyond the usual AU ones. I love some donut steals.How much AU content DR will receive depends on how well received the ending is. By that I mean there is a real chance of the full game killing interest for AUs or reducing everything to fix fics.
>>4070173More like earthbound cheap rippoff.
>>4070516at least earthbound is a real RPG instead of pretending to be one
Wanted to say it in the previous thread, but my WiFi was being dogshit. But to clarify the replies toward the newest RIBBIT teaser. Catharsis mode is NOT a replacement of standard combat. It’s a separate mode made alongside the base game. I don’t blame people for not knowing since that’s only been mentioned on bsky and not the gamejolt page.
Zenith GunHat...
>>4070537>CATHARsisWas it intentional? It makes me feel CATAHARTIC
>>4070540Zenith GunHat in all his glory. You're welcome.https://files.catbox.moe/5h7u05.png
>>4070552But I meant the GunHat Darkner, he would be different from the bird Clover... We don't even have a regular design from him yet...
>>4070175Does this mean there will be separate ferris wheel rides with each party member, or is it like an "all at once" thing?
>>4070555>Does this mean there will be separate ferris wheel rides with each party memberkinda-ish
>>4070496In that case you would be their match and they would be the flame, not the other way around, but I like to think that most monsters would find that sort of pick up line to be endearing
>>4070558Damn, true anon I messed up.
>>4070316There's always some "cultural phenomenon" that could be using that space, whether its GTA 6, Donkey Kong, or whatever else. So he always has a vested interest in making sure other things people may want to discuss don't overshadow it.
>>4070317Melody would. Sadie would probably just yield to whatever Orange said. And Kanako would at worst give her a few backhanded remarks without even trying to.
>>4070576I honestly feel deeply weird for not understanding the hype around GTA VI. It just feels like another GTA game. While those are good games it just doesn't feel as hype as it used to, as big open world games where you can do anything simply aren't that novel anymore
>>4070322> What if it feels as if it has been trapped in your home against its will, with it hating it?Unlikely. Unless you've been severely mistreating them, they would enjoy it. It is simply their nature. They love physical affection. They're like dogs, dogs love having their personal space invadedPlushes love hugs and kisses in the same way a bee loves flowers.
>>4070407>Sans but he's evil>Sans but he's Papyrus>Sans but he's Papyrus but he's evilYeah, real original.
>>4070584You forgot about Papyrus but he's Sans
>>4070580Its just one of those games that was "always really big so get hyped and buy the newest one its been so long you just need to buy it!" And a lot of normalfags probably will. Especially people that grew up with the games being big deals for them.Its not gonna affect anything for us other than standard "fighting to have a thread" type stuff
>>4070583>It is simply their natureWatch them brutally rip out your [heart shaped object] when you create the dark world in your room>They're like dogs, dogs love having their personal space invadedDess...
>>4070496What would be really romantic is playing I'm Burning for You on a boombox outside her window like in an old romance movie.
>>4070580I think its just inertia. Everyone and their mother played GTA V, so the hype train is mainly just because they were hyped for a sequel in the past.
>>4070593>Watch them brutally rip out your [heart shaped object] when you create the dark world in your roomSadie...>Dess...Kris isn't a dog no matter how much he wants to be one
>>4070585it hasn't been done yet since every "papyrus but sans" take grossly misunderstands both characters
>>4070603True skeletonwank has never been tried.
>>4070296Well, I hope what you say is true and it is just silly.But atleast if anything Kanacole has the themes of justice about it. Usually it's a criminal/criminal couple like Bonnie and Clyde or criminal guy/prude woman in those types of stories. I don't think there are any stories where the couple are both on the side of the law, although Kanako definitely has her own interpretation of justice
>>4070604I asked my grandfather why we never returned to skeletonwank. he said"we can't, we don't have the autism anymore. We forgot how."
>>4070597NTA but I am happy to say I have not touched gta 5. I think the most gta I've ever played in my life was like, half an hour of either san andreas or vice city.
>>4070608What would be the Apollo program of skeletonwank?
>>4070580I mean the whole modern marketing strategy where they just flood the internet with fake traffic is really disorientating, that's normal for it to feel "weird".Before a shill gets uppity about it, yes, I do know that some people will be convinced to be interested in it or were interested in it, but the way things are marketed now is confusing and annoying.It's not even really limited to /v/ either.I used to like checking out the Steam Deck top played, but companies realized you could bot on a much smaller level to secure positions on the top of the top played as ad space and it's a whole business now and a lot of the games on there are kind of schizophrenic.
>>4070580I personally never got the GTA hype, every time I talk to someone about it they never talk about the characters, story or the missions, just how they can run over people and hire hookers.Really shows the normie mindset
>>4070612the original underswap.artemis program is TS!swap
>>4070606>Well, I hope what you say is true and it is just silly.it absolutely is silly on unfounded levels. First of all the kind of people who are into straight couples aren't just going to become full on gay because gta depicted a straight couple and now they're sick of it. That's not how being into heterosexual stuff works. The people who already hated straight couples could get more vocal I guess but those people were already bitter and insane. not for liking non straight couples, but for hating straight ones. They are genuinely just not worth giving any legitimacy.
>>4070594Just gave the song a listen, not my jam but I could see how some monsters might appreciate it.
>>4070600>Kris isn't a dogYeah because he is a bitch I bet Dess called him a good boy and pat him on the head for betraying his friends (again). Kris liked it...
>>4070622You listened to the Blue Oyster Cult one right? That whole album is great as far as I'm concerned.
>>4070584And it's a hit EVERYTIME.
>>4070619It's not about it just being a heterosexual couple, it's about the relationship between them being one of the core themes of the game. You even control both characters and switch between them like in DRY.I bet there are going to be people who will say that DRY copied it
>>4070655Next they'll say Mario and Luigi copied GTAEither way, I doubt many people will care much about a random fangame for a pixel RPG having similar elements to the latest AAA full 3D "muh realism" slop, the audiences don't overlap that much
>>4070655>I bet there are going to be people who will say that DRY copied itCome one, anon. That's just silly.
>>4070655im going to be real with you anon, thats fucking retarded.at worst you'd have a normalfag or two who says that.and who cares about what they have to say?
>>4070655absolute nonsense. you really need to step away from whatever online spaces are leading you to think this way.
>>4070632Yeah I did, nice song but not my type of thing I would listen to.
>>4070659>Mario and LuigiThey are not in a romantic relationship though? Don't let the fujoshis do it!>>4070666>Online spacesIt's not like the concept of derivativeness have been a constant topic in these threads. We had several people feeling sad that somebody more popular doing what they did would overshadow their work and and make them be treated as "unoriginal".
>>4070697>It's not like the concept of derivativeness have been a constant topic in these threads. We had several people feeling sad that somebody more popular doing what they did would overshadow their work and and make them be treated as "unoriginal".it's not the same here because the situation in particular you are brewing up is so outlandish that you need to check yourself against reality.
>>4070655I'm sorry anon, with all due respect, that's a retarded worry.
I hope you anons are taking care of yourselves as well as can be and have a good weekend. Any plans for creative progress or planning over the weekend?
>>4070781Sadly I won't really have time for that kinda stuff. Tomorrow I'll be drinking myself to the ground and sunday will be recovering/packing for my big trip.
>>4070781i will admit that i've been lazier than i'd have liked this week. but i should still have a webm for DRY2's combat for the weekend thread (assuming it isnt today)
>>4070787Well anon, drink (semi) responsibly, and I hope you have a safe trip. Make sure to think of your favorite character at least thrice during the trip.>>4070788nice, I've been wondering what the combat will actually look like with the full cast you have planned.
>>4070789It's gonna be a friend's birthday event and knowing him from last two years he did something like this, it's gonna be wild. And as for thinking of fave character, yeah I can do that.
>>4070792nice, then please do not drink yourself to death so that you can continue your great works when you return>And as for thinking of fave character, yeah I can do that.good man.
>>4070819I'll do my best anon, but there is prize and prestige to be won (it will actually be more than likely a contest again. Last year he hosted a drinking olympics with various challenges, it's insane how much thought he puts into his own birthday binges)
>>4070824>Last year he hosted a drinking olympics with various challenges,godspeed soldier.
>>4070781I somehow hurt my arm doing absolutely nothing, so now I'm once again delayed from working on programming. What little work I can do has been consumed by Star Wars brainrot, which has got me typing out a fic one handed. Not because the other hand is busy mind you, but because I literally can't use my left arm without hurting it.
>>4070852what kinda star wars fic
>>4070852oh fuck, I'm sorry to hear that anon. I was planting a garden last year when I broke my hand, and I never continued it when it finally healed. I hope that you don't let this stop you from getting back in the groove when you feel better like I did.
>>4070855fleet battles and imperial on alien romance
>>4070860I didn't even break it. I just woke up one day and my wrist hurt like hell, so I've been babying it all week.
>>4070852Christ anon, what the hell happened? Have you gotten it checked out at least?
>>4070864that's probably the best way to handle it. Make sure to do mild dynamic stretches if and only if they don't cause it significant pain.
>>4070861what kinda ayys
>>4070872It's a lot better than it was, I'm just being cautious. Don't want it to get bad again. >>4070870Doctors are expensive. I'm hoping it'll continue to improve like it has been. If it doesn't, then I'll go to a doctor.
>>4070873OC alien birds
>>4070877Well, hopefully it will continue to get better, anon
>>4070880based.
>>4070781I intend to work somewhat on my writing, but Create Aeronautics has more or less consumed my brain so that's neither here nor there. Also have an outing planned for tomorrow. We'll see what happens
Question for you anons. Do you think when a human's soul is out in a fight, is it their real soul or just a representation that can be hurt via monster magic?
>>4070927I like going with representation, because while realistically injuries are probably only happening to the soul, when writing it feels more "impactful" for the attacks to hit the body in various places rather than describe "the soul the soul the soul" over and over again.
>>4070927Both at various points in time or maybe even both at once depending on POV.
>>4070655fucking retard
>>4070927I see it as a representation, to me the soul never leaves the body, battles in Undertale probably look no different from those overworld segments in Deltarune where you have to dodge bullets
>>4070927It's in a quantum superpostion, both the real thing and representation depending on context, just like Kris's gender
>>4070941What about the soul in Deltarune? We do see it actually move around outside the body through its representation in UI in the weird route, and the soul being moved to dodge during the "think of Susie" segments seems to get (you) away from Kris. Maybe the soul actually does exit Kris's body in Deltarune.
>>4070935>>4070937>>4070941>>4070947So if one were to 'snatch' that soul (an outside force while the human is distracted in the fight), it wouldn't actually manage to steal the soul then on all of your opinion?
>>4070947Or maybe its both things depending on how its observed. Quantum states tend to be based on observation. So you look at it like a player, and its literally there wherever the sprite is on screen. Meanwhile you look at it like an in universe character, and the soul is still in Kris.
>>4070949I don't think so. It just feels too "easy" like it breaks the rules somehow.
>>4070949>it wouldn't actually manage to steal the soul then on all of your opinion?It would probably depend on how meta aware the character is and how much determination they have.
>>4070954nta, but basically any rule in the setting can be broken if you're determined enough.
>>4070959but how much determination does that one take since we never saw that rule broken? It must be quite the threshold since even chara can't force you to give your soul up as far as we know.
>>4070956So it wouldn't be too out of the realm of possibility for that to happen?
>>4070927its a representation. unless you're lucid enough to the world's mechanics to see beyond the veil.spamton and ralsei are lucid and aware of it, so they're able to notice and target the soul directly.susie is lucid to the game's mechanics but too dumb to take advantage of it, so she only knows that kris's soul is outside of his body during combat.
>>4070948The soul does leave the body in Deltarune during those moments where you fuck with the interface, but so far those have been exclusive to the weird route.Remember that in Undertale you also had overworld bullet segments but they worked slightly different with Undyne shooting spears and the lasers in Hotland, the soul never left the body during those moments.That being said, I just remembered that in Undertale Sans can hit you during your turn by placing bones over the UI, I have no idea how that would work in either interpretation of the soul mechanics.>>4070949I still think that wouldn't be possible since I believe the soul never leaves the body during fights.
>>4070969>>4070976Hmm, seems like representation is the most common idea, back to the drawing board I go I guess.
>>4070969NTA, but on that topic Deltarune's combat system always bothered me because there's no explanation on how the bullet dodge works in universe, why attacks that hit our soul sometimes inflict damage on Ralsei and Susie? (sometimes not even dealing damage to Kris).What do Ralsei and Susie even do during those moments? Do they just stand there and pray that Kris dodges all the attacks for them?
>>4070984thats the point of it being a representation unless you're lucid.during susie's explanation to gerson about the party's adventures she talks about all their epic battles, and uses the sugar cubes and silverware to re-enact them. which implies that at the very least she's trying to dodge attacks. she has no idea that the bullet box is an abstraction.ralsei, on the other hand, is fully aware of the soul's purpose and explains it during the start of the game. even if he's pretending to dodge or not, he knows well enough that (you)'re ultimately the sole dictator of if the party takes damage.
>>4070998>she has no idea that the bullet box is an abstraction.As far as I'm aware the bullet box does exist and the monsters are aware of it, at least in Undertale, its probably something inherit to magical combat, like an spell that limits the area of movement.>ralsei, on the other hand, is fully aware of the soul's purpose and explains it during the start of the game. even if he's pretending to dodge or notWell, yeah, I know Ralsei is more meta aware of how things work, but is it the same for all darkners? When they "target" Susie and Ralsei all they do is put that message of over their heads and still only attack Kris's soul? Susie is either really dumb or she sees the battle different from us if she can't tell none of those attacks are actually targeting her (despite still taking damage from them)
>>4070963i agree, it would take the powerful entity. Or quite a weak victim. We did Asriel do it to the monsters in the Underground.>>4070965Asriel did it the population of the underground. Its theoretically possible that something sufficiently strong could do it to a human, but that thing would need to be very strong.
>>4071018>We did Asriel do it to the monsters in the Underground.that's a good point, I hadn't considered the monster souls in this case but well, it's the perfect example.
>>4070976>but so far those have been exclusive to the weird route.It doing that in the weird route would imply that the soul is always leaving his body when the UI is involved, but it simply doesn't exploit it.> I have no idea how that would work in either interpretation of the soul mechanics.Meta stuff is a bit like 4th dimensional space. Its an axis in which things exist, but no one can perceive it. So while most characters can't see that the soul exists in both states at the same time, someone who's meta aware can, and can attack the soul in places that would normally be imperceptable and inaccessible
>>4070781Once again I haven't made as much progress as I planned for this week, but at least I've been chipping away at it, I might have another small gameplay thing to show for the weekend, but its not a guarantee.
>>4070781I would like to have a scripted hazard sequence I've been chipping away at finished by this weekend since sunday is my day off
>>4071034good to hear you're chipping away at the progress at least. I wont hold you to it but I'm definitely interested in seeing more gameplay.>>4070911>create aeronauticsI spent some time recently with minecraft mods after not touching the game since near release. I have to say there's a lot of cool stuff out there, but also a lot of mods that I found I wasted time on only to find "this mod isn't satisfying and requires way too much pain in the ass to get MY kind of fun out of. I hope that you are not imprisoned by it forevermore at least.>>4071061based fellow having time to do things on sunday... haver? I don't know, either way I feel your pain. I wish you luck in getting that hazard sequence put together. Will you be showing it off or is that something we'll be waiting until release/demo for? No pressure either way.
Interesting that the localization of Undertale to Japanese took almost 2 years and it seems like the full Japanese Undertale Yellow localization patch will have taken almost 3 since it seems like it will be releasing early next month.
>>4071095I'm really excited to see what comes from them getting exposed to it.
>>4071102Oh me to anon, it’s the main reason I just can’t shut the fuck up about it, I really want to see what this fresh foreign perspective will be like, especially because Japanese audiences tend to be more emotional and less cynical, so I feel like they will resonate a lot to the game.
>>4071095Praying for japanese artists to be obsessed with Clover.
>>4071133you already have that with the Koreans. They've even started making au versions of Clover like "mirror clover"
>>4071136Sure but double the artists double the chance i get the slightest crumbs of Fem Clover.Also any good artists to follow since you mentioned them?
>>4071133Certainly wouldn’t mind seeing more of this
>>4071143I don't keep track of the people who want to fuck clover as I'm not into that in any variation, but I got the gut feeling that the selfcest they were into was not fem. You're of course allowed your abysmal taste but there's not many people who feed into that.
>>4071155Damn...>>4071152So cute!!!
>>4071155Nta but personally I just think that shota/loli clover is cute, and I wanna see more of that.
Hellescape (that DR clone that was accused of plagiarism) posted a devloghttps://hellescape-newsletter-1.neocities.org/
>>4071168Damn, the game is so similar to DR that we are posting news about it on the fangames thread
>>4071168>posts it in a strikingly similar format to toby newsletters well that IS a choice. I don't actually know how relevant updates to it are, it's "effectively" a fangame but it's also being sold for real money as if it was an original game isn't it?
>>4071160>uses loli/shotayes I'm sure you simply find them cute. I'm sure there will be some artists who make uty r/y tier art for clover though.>>4071168those lips stand out in a disconcerting way
>>4071169Hell, even their trees grow star shaped fruits, SwapFell unironically looks more like an original game than this.
>>4071176>I'm sure there will be some artists who make uty r/y tier art for clover though.Sure that happens everywhere but you gotta learn to take the good with the bad, otherwise you’ll never survive out there.
>>4071168Why does she have bimbo fetish lips?
>>4071170>it's "effectively" a fangame but it's also being sold for real money as if it was an original game isn't it?Currently there's only a free demo, but I'm sure the full game will cost real money.>>4071176She looks fine in her overworld sprite, but that portrait does put too much detail into her lips, also from her bio it looks like she's just Toriel (Forma Lobo)
>>4071176its the humanfag from the deltarune threads. he doesn't care about fangames
>>4071063>I have to say there's a lot of cool stuff out thereit lets me build shit like this and fly it around. takes me back to the days of the old zeppelin mod.
>>4071189>and fly it aroundwait what, I'd seen screenshots of people making aircrafts in minecraft but I was of the distinct impression that they were all immobile mockups.
>>4071192well yes they usually are, but they made a create submod recently that lets you drive them around. (This isn't possible in vanilla, if that's what you're asking)
>>4071193>This isn't possible in vanilla, if that's what you're asking)I just thought it was a limitation of the engine that couldn't be modded through within reason.I wish you luck with your recreational plane stuff>>4071185I don't hate the design objectively here, but yeah the lips in the sprites are something. I don't imagine I'll be actually giving this one a play unless I hear some stunning things about it. I have actual fangames on my backlog, and the video I watched of this looked very carbon copy last I checked.
>>4071195Nah anon we've had airship mods since the 1.7.10 days, This kinda stuff is old as hell. Good ol archimedes ships. It wasn't nearly as good as this modern one, you couldn't really stand on it as it was moving or interact with stuff. But airships were made nonetheless.
>>4071188I see, my mistake then.
>>4071188Hey no need to throw baseless accusations around, I don’t know about the other guy but I at least just want some more cute art of clover.
>>4071136>mirror Cloverdoes he have a goatee?
>>4071205heh, that would honestly make it more interesting. No nothing like that, I think it's like the echo of past clovers runs being personified into a a floating ghost over Clovers shoulder kind of character. I checked out when I realized what kind of angle this was all going for but turns out some Clover aus have been popping up.>>4071197neat, I'd get into it more because honestly from my understanding of how things work, that's really cool, but well, topics and all. I might check it out sometime myself though I don't think I have the brain to actually grasp create beyond a basic level. I hope you have a good time with it.
>>4071185>ruler of the BIMBO ringYeah this isn't even subtle
>>4071180lord i hope they make it more original i love pastiche but this is pushing it
>>4071188>its the -fagDon't do that. It breeds pointless drama.
>>4071197>1.7.10Earlier than that, we've had airship mods since the beta days
>>4071257goblin git ye gone.
>>4071209>, I think it's like the echo of past clovers runs being personified into a a floating ghost over Clovers shoulder kind of character.So red and yellow, but its just yellow and yellow?I think having Clover meet his evil mirror universe self would be more fun. I would even tolerate skeleton AUs if they gave everyone goatees.
>>4071261>So red and yellow, but its just yellow and yellow?yeah pretty much. With a strong emphasis on the mirror version of him hating flowey while the normal one thinking flowey surely can't be all that bad. I was curious about it until I saw the world selfcest.
>>4071260I still don't know what that means, but I am actually NTA you were calling the humanfag.Going around using these titles gives power to the people you use them against, and it causes other trolls to want to imitate them, and it creates the very real risk of throwing that accusation at a real poster. There's really no benefit to doing it beyond whatever good feeling you get from insulting some anonymous idiot on the internet every time you see him.
>>4071263>With a strong emphasis on the mirror version of him hating flowey while the normal one thinking flowey surely can't be all that badi can just imagine a stadium of past clovers cheering when clover (current) snaps and starts the genocide run.
>>4071264No. If you aren't that person, then you aren't the target.
>>4071265I feel it should be expressly terrifying to clover that there are so many of him. It raises some concerning questions regarding flowey
>>4071264You that retard who had a complete sperging meltdown in the /vrpg/ deltarune thread over someone mocking an actual tripfag?>>4071168what in the fresh hell is that image
>>4071387Please leave your interpersonal drama at the door.
Antag/anon modfag Devlog #02I have in the end decided to leave some traces of homo on Noelle for the sake of a more "lore accurate" depiction of Noelle, but fear not, the attraction disappears quickly.What will remain after that is just, let's just call them "involuntary reactions", but Noelles judgement, behaviour and priorities will no longer be clouded the moment Susie enters in any scene, turning into a drooling retard.Later on in the story I will make it so that she will even be ashamed a bit that she liked Susie in the first place.In short, trust the process, in the grand scheme of things, nothing has changed.Someone mentioned that I could perhaps embrace FemKris but even if I would somehow decided to do that, I would have to retcon Chapter 0 and make some adaptations which I really don't want to, there's also the fact that I set up some expectations for what I'm going to do already that I don't want to "subvert" as Tobert would attempt to.Not in a bad way at least.I have also started work on the battle system and the first tests with Noelle as a party member are successful, this went fast because I adapted existing Chapter 2 code so I didn't really have to reinvent the wheel in regards to that.Next thing is going to be to further improve and adapt this to my needs for Chapter 1.Another thing I haven't mentioned yet is that I want to expand the equipment a bit and implement some new fusions.I will try to aim for the Heirloom type equipment that you upgrade over and over instead of replacing the equipment as it is each chapter you find a new sword with +1 ATK.One last thing, I underestimated(once again) the undertaking of making a mod of the scale I aim for, especially when it comes to an autistic Tobert Foxtrot game.I expect that the project is going to be in development hell for a while because I have to figure out what I want for the story and also how I am going to do it while maintaining the plausibility.
>>4071419>Later on in the story I will make it so that she will even be ashamed a bit that she liked Susie in the first place.have you considered the ramifications and consequences of this decision? you might get a lot of shit from the fandom

A lesbian or bisexual woman character isn't some objective evil right? It's just something that's been done so heavy handedly with poor writing that some have grown sick of it. I'm not saying to undo what you want to do but just, thinking about it. if it's your vision to change her feelings then follow your vision, but don't feel like you need to do it simply out of reaction for how people (perhaps justifiably) feel about suselle. >One last thing, I underestimated(once again) the undertaking of making a mod of the scale I aim for, especially when it comes to an autistic Tobert Foxtrot game.I expect that the project is going to be in development hell for a while because I have to figure out what I want for the story and also how I am going to do it while maintaining the plausibility.yeah this stuff takes a lot of work, but whatever you end up doing, good luck with it.
>>4071423One thing I will say on this, it's not "ashamed for liking another girl" its for another reason.Trust the plan.Even if it was, people should also understand that it's a fanwork and things may not turn out the way they like.I'm still following the canon and also there's greater payoff in the end anyway with this allowed to exist.
>>4071419>Someone mentioned that I could perhaps embrace FemKris but even if I would somehow decided to do thatdont worry about those anons, they're just mentally illand also dont worry about the fandom's reaction which the other guy tried saying, they'll give you shit either way for erasing "muh reproosentation">I want to expand the equipment a bit and implement some new fusions.i'd suggest a 'checklist' item you can pick up from malius that lets you know which items in the chapter you'll need for future fusions.
I'm not the drawanon who made this and the other images, but someone had asked him to draw this, and he asked if I could deliver it to the threads for him. Enjoy.
>>4071474If you can, tell him its a cute Roba and hope he feels better, anon.
I'm excited for whenever Naranja gets a "public" demo.It could be interesting.
>>4071474Trollface Roba
Just learned of a new secret in chapter 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC0RbC98jLs is it just me, or does this feel like its trying to hard? Like its trying way too hard to be "Deltarune humor", but doesn't know what makes Deltarune humor work, so instead it just overdoes it and comes across as forced? And that's not even getting into how topical and dated it somehow already feels, and it being twitter humor.
>>4071474Even when he's not here he still delivers, I hope he's feeling better
Mirror...
>>4071550Nah, that's pretty funny it's fairly obscure too so the text can be wackier
>>4071387>You that retard who had a complete sperging meltdown in the /vrpg/ deltarune thread over someone mocking an actual tripfag?No. See, this is what I'm talking about. It sets a bad precedent. Pretty soon everyone who disagrees on anything is gonna be a samefag or a schizo.
>>4071550No, I was just playing Ch1 and it's already pretty fucking quirky
>>4071419>and also how I am going to do it while maintaining the plausibility.Just completely go off the rails around the halfway mark. No point in stickint to Toby lore past chapter 4 since it all sucks anyways.
>>4071586Quirky is not the same thing as mucho texto + twitter humor
Elnina and Lanino foreshadow Kanako and Cole
>>4071591w... who's rouxls?
>>4071426>if it's your vision to change her feelings then follow your vision, but don't feel like you need to do it simply out of reaction for how people (perhaps justifiably) feel about suselle.Keep in mind that he's making the game for /doe/. Artistic integrity is important, but its also important to keep your target audience in mind. You shouldn't be a slave to your audience, but when you choose an audience, that comes with some expectations for you.
>>4071591Reminder that the Elinia/Lanino/Starwalker throuple produced offspring off screen between chapters.
>>4071600>w... who's rouxls?(You)
>>4071602I'm neither of the anons from that conversation but removing Noelle's atraction towards Susie feels like changing the character too much, I think the idea of Noelle finding out that she was atracted to her imaginary version of Susie instead of the real one is much better, and adds more to her character as well.
>>4071607That feels like a more elegant way to handle it, and would make for a decent character arc. I was just saying that audience expectations do matter for the writer, especially when you're writing for an existing audience.
Alright, I've managed to get Partners Chapter 17 formatted and taken to Ao3. I think I'll go directly on to chapter 18. The self-rush has me a bit anxious, but I'm still feeling pretty strong.Also, planning document: https://rentry.co/5fenaftiNot a very big one, but this is really what it looked like.
>>4071609>I was just saying that audience expectations do matter for the writer, especially when you're writing for an existing audience.Do the anons at /doe/ feel threatened by the posibility of their waifu liking someone other than the player character?
>>4071613Anon, its a general that exists for the sole purpose of Kriselle posting.
>>4071618I know, but its not like Noelle showing interest in someone else before "dating" Kris should be seen as a problem.
>>4071624I think why it would be a problem would be self evident. Of course your romantic interest showing interest in someone else would be threatening, especially when it comes with the baggage of canon Suselle and the nightmare it is.I'm not even saying he can't feature Noelle having an interest in Susie. I'm just saying that the baggage it brings and the emotional weight it has with his target audience is something he needs to keep in mind.Being a successful writer means understanding the needs and wants of your audience, both so you can balance them with your own, and so you can leverage those needs and wants to tell a compelling story.
>>4071628>Of course your romantic interest showing interest in someone else would be threatening, especially when it comes with the baggage of canon Suselle and the nightmare it is.Yeah, but this is a mod that exists to make the target audience's prefered pair canon, everyone playing it should know Suselle won't be a thing in the mod and that is only there to keep Noelle's character more consistent, I don't expect him to add any scene baiting for Suselle in the mod.
>>4071628>>4071624>>4071618>>4071613>>4071432I also have 90% of the support from /doe/ after I told them the same things.
>>4071632>Yeah, but this is a mod that exists to make the target audience's prefered pair canon,The mod seeming to feature Suselle would countermand that notion and give the player mixed signals. That kind of thing is going to play with the player's emotions. Now there's nothing inherently wrong with playing with the player's emotions, it can be a very powerful technique when used properly. But it is something you have to be aware of in order to use properly.> I don't expect him to add any scene baiting for Suselle in the mod.Any affection Noelle shows towards Susie is inherently Suselle bait. Its like a shape with four right angles being inherently a rectangle.
>>4071600Gizmo
>>4071635That's good to hear. Though this is just as much a discussion about writing and managing player expectations as it is about your specific case.
>>4071600>>4071637And Sadie is Starwalker.
Echoes of the Glacier full release is out https://balsaminaxxx.itch.io/echoes-of-the-glacier
>>4071632I don't think Noelle showing infatuation towards Susie is the same thing as this and I ultimately do agree it should be kept for character reasons. I've read enough romance to know why people are skittish about this kind of stuff. It tends to lead to a lot of padding and pseudo-ntr type stuff more often than not. I don't believe Doeanon would do this, but some skittishness is warranted imo
>>4071641Don't spoil it here, anons. Remember to use spoiler text for posts, images, and replies related to it. At least until people have had time to play it.
>>4071638I think it's about making sure you inform the players properly beforehand rather than "doing or not doing".I tried to keep my communications open when it comes to more delicate stuff for exactly this reason and if you manage to formulate it well or set the things straight, i'm pretty sure in the end people will agree with you.
>>4071636>The mod seeming to feature Suselle would countermand that notion and give the player mixed signals. The thing is that they should know from the start that Suselle won't be a thing in the mod, making a mod about one ship and the featuring a different one in game would be counterintuitive.>That kind of thing is going to play with the player's emotions. Now there's nothing inherently wrong with playing with the player's emotions, it can be a very powerful technique when used properly. But it is something you have to be aware of in order to use properly.I know playing with the player's emotions is a dangerous game, but in this case the players should have the safety of knowing that they are playing a mod specifically made to cater to their ship.>Any affection Noelle shows towards Susie is inherently Suselle bait.I meant adding new scenes on top of the ones that are already in Deltarune.
>>4071603What? If you're talking about the Dojo, then i think its just a Starwalker
>>4071642>pseudo-ntr type stuff more often than notMake it clear that Susie isn't into Noelle either, she just sees her as a friend, that should be enough to avoid (most) of the NTR implications
>>4071644I take a "the proof is in the pudding" stance regarding communication with the audience. What you say in through game speaks louder than anything you say outside of it, and anything said outside of it can easily be ignored or drowned out.
>>4071647Once again i'm not saying it'll actually go that way at all, i'm just explaining the context of *why* people might be skittish about it, in my perspective from being completely brainrotted by romance. In my musings it's usually never that bad unless it's Ex-boyfrined/girlfriend stuff. Though. That's where the real unfun shit comes from
>>4071646Yeah, it is *a* Starwallker. When previously there was only *the* Starwalker. The existence of a small duplicate of the original implies reproduction.
>>4071645>The thing is that they should know from the start that Suselle won't be a thing in the mod, making a mod about one ship and the featuring a different one in game would be counterintuitive.And that would only make the contents of the mod seeming to disagree with that notion even worse. It could that the mod author is lying, either to the players, or to himself. Or that the mod is lazy with it rewrites and is only doing the bare minimum. Or maybe that its setting up some love triangle and relationship drama, which while not itself a bad thing, its not the kind of thing you would want people thinking is there if you aren't actually going to include any.>I meant adding new scenes on top of the ones that are already in Deltarune.Even the old ones from the main game would count just as much. Its all part of the experience of the mod.
>>4071652But then he wouldn't be an original Starwalker though. He would be a derivative Starwalker.I would buy if the tropical Starwalker is, with it being weather themed
>>4071654He's not the... original. He's mini starwalker.I wonder if Starwalker was a joke about dev graphics. Since he's put in the same room as that Starwalker bird and calls himself the original.
>>4071653>Or maybe that its setting up some love triangle and relationship drama, which while not itself a bad thing, its not the kind of thing you would want people thinking is there if you aren't actually going to include any.Alright that's a fair point, but I believe those assumptions could be dismantled quickly by making clear what Susie thinks of Noelle early in the story, instead of leaving the possibility in the air.>Even the old ones from the main game would count just as much. Its all part of the experience of the mod.At that point that would be a problem with the audience, I dislike Suselle but I don't think every trace of it should be removed from Deltarune in this mod, because Noelle liking Susie is a big part of her character, whether we like it or not, removing that almost feels like giving the character a lobotomy.
>>4071655>He's not the... originalFraudwalker exposed>A joke about dev graphicsIt definitely is, as I remember there was shown concept art for that, with him looking exactly like in-game
>>4071661The lobotomy would be allowing Suselle to go as far as it did in the main game even on the Weird Route which is more Kriselle adjented.
I wonder how the kriselle mod's gonna deal with the schizodoe stuff. You kind of have to make a call on how much you assume that stuff is there in non weird route contexts. We do know it is, but like do you just completely ignore it and go "yeah bro Kris fixes her" or what
>>4071664Don't get me wrong, Suselle does suck because of how it drains all personality from Noelle whenever she shares screen with Susie, but I still think you shouldn't delete a character relationship just like that when its so strong in the original material.
>>4071662>It definitely is, as I remember there was shown concept art for that, with him looking exactly like in-gameThat could just as easily mean that he was intended to be a The...Original from the start. I was suggesting that Toby drew this rough dev sprite, and liked it so much that he worked it into the final game.
>>4071661>but I believe those assumptions could be dismantled quickly by making clear what Susie thinks of Noelle early in the story, instead of leaving the possibility in the air.And that's why its important to be aware of this stuff and how it could be read.>At that point that would be a problem with the audience>removing that almost feels like giving the character a lobotomy.I'm not saying it should be removed. I'm just saying you should be aware of how it could be read while writing.
>>4071670>when its so strong in the originalBut it uses its power for evil. It can't be trusted with that kind of power. Anon, its us or them. We have neutralize suselle, for the greater good.
>>4071678Agressive spitefiction that leaks into the work itself tends to lose me. Making something OUT of spite is one thing, but having it constantly leak into the stuff kind of taints the work. I don't like Suselle but agressively spiting it wouldn't sit right with me either. It feels like i'm being nakedly pandered to as opposed to this being a natural story with characters
>>4071667I don't know what he'll do, but I'd like him to keep Noelle as a barely contained freak, and have her weirdness bounce of Kris's equally mentally unwell state. Kris and Noelle are both freaks, which is why they're perfect for each other.
>>4071680I'm sorry anon, but its self defense. We have to heteroslide Noelle.
>>4071681It's such a hard balance to strike because so far we really only have the extremes of full containment and the schziophrenia being forcibly fucked with until it breaches containment. Noelle has it locked down so much that having it leak naturally is something that would be interesting to be seen. I don't want it to go full on angst because we have honestly way too fucking much of that but exploring that side of her without going full weird route is gonna be difficult
>>4071678That power can be used for good, you can give Noelle a character arc about not projecting her wants on Susie, removing it all together only gives us a blander story and rewrites Noelle too much for no apparent reason.
>>4071685I do think there's something there if you want to lean into the manipulative side she could be implied to have in the lake scene, what with the "you cant even tell me to stop like you used to" stuff It'd make Noelle look a bit worse but given the kind of stuff Kris is up to that's basically just normal
>>4071685Anon, I'm shitposting. Obviously there are tactful ways to handle Noelle's feelings for Susie.
>>4071690It's hard to tell some times because people will say stuff like that without a shred of irony
Please keep your chronic Kris worship away from this general, thank you very much. I already see way too much of it in every single other DR threads on this website.
>>4071709Nobody was doing that though?

>>4071843what the fuck are you talking aboutI kinda agree on the character designs being mostly just rehashes of mother 1 but they're still unique enoughalso the ending didn't need to answer anything, you just had to stop giygas, unless you're confusing it with mother 3

>>4072004Fair warning someone in the Deltarune thread had their post deleted this morning so the thread might get kablammed.

>>4072010that's been a thing for a while. the fact that you asked instead of simply making a thread is indicative of the "problem".A large number of the threads in the last 6 or so months have been made by me (thank you as well to the other anons who took part in making threads), but my saturdays aren't mine most of the time lately.Most of the time I have to make them back to back until we are allowed to have a single rule abiding, on topic thread but I'm attempting to relax some before I get to my usual saturday obligations right now.

>>4072035ah yeah it is fairly early isn't it. I'll check and see if anyone's bothered to make a thread a bit later today when I get a moment in between everything, but I'm trying to calm myself a bit for now and haven't been keeping track of the thread today much.
>>4072035Not at all, in fact we used to have threads way earlier. You know, before jannies went after them en masse.Also, it's been around an hour and a half since that one anon mentioned making a thread. Is any other anon going to step up, or will we have to wait for that anon again?
>>4072097I could make a thread in maybe 30 minutes to an hour
someone wants to talk about fangames, and that "hellescape" game that looks way too much like Deltarune chapter 1
>>4072124Not sure why you would use the thread to discuss an unrelated game. I mean, anons are just going to use that as an excuse to discuss that game, even if it's completely irrelevant otherwise
>>4072141Its thematically related to some very common discussions we have>>4072124Thanks anon kun
It seems that anons over there are instead talking about Undertale knockoffs and why you shouldn't make a fangame. Big surprise.
>>4072010>>4072034the problem is the deletions and bans.nobody wants to be the one to bite the bullet and end up with a global 3 day for the crime of vidya discussion.me personally i dont have a way to evade so if i get banned for making a thread im just shit out of luck.
>>4072156It seems like people are discussing fangames>>4072159Well, while evasion is really easy. If you dont feel comfortable with that then it is what it is, but its a bit tiresome when an anon hounds for a thread. Then complains when the thread isnt up to specification. Like shit, theres a thread, go discuss video games you know?
>>4072162>Well, while evasion is really easymy IP is static.
>>4072171Well, then it is what it is but the other things I said still stand
>>4072171You mechs might have dynamic IPs to reroute your fear of bans, but I’ve got IPs of steel.
there should be a Cole spell in DRY where Cole stands in front of Kanako and tanks all of the damage that would normally go towards her
THE THREAD OF FANGAMESCLEAVED RED BY BLADE
I don't even care if that guy isn't here to read it, I'm posting this here since the other thread got deleted.>>>/v/746469214Why can't I? What's contradictory there? I make one thing, then I make another. Sometimes I want to write about victorian lemurs being drawn into a proxy war with the space commies, and sometimes I want to write a story about an Imperial captain from Star Wars bumbling his way into becoming a warlord. Doing one doesn't mean I suddenly can't do the other.
Well, thanks to the anon that made thread, there was some good discussion mixed in there
>>4072141Its an Undertale fangame in everything but name. Its on topic.
was going to reply to >>>/v/746469214 but the thread died,I actually paused my original ideas to focus on my fangame because I enjoy working on it and I get fanart in return, so it's win-win for mewill I get money for it? no, but what matters is I'm enjoying myself and getting more familiar with how game coding, management and writing work, so that when I go back to my original stuff I can make it better
>>4072156That's still fangame discussion.
>>4072159I just wasn't in the mood to make one earlier. By the time I actually felt like talking about fangames, there was already a thread.
Im thinking of a wording, because theres no reason 20 gta threads are ok but on topic video game threads are not for some reason.
>>4072171You don't have a cellphone?
>>4072249If we were making a regular DR thread, I'd say to use that image of the Shit Squad drawn in the style of a San Andreas loading screen (which I just realized I no longer have, please post it if you do) to be silly. But we don't have and DRY GTA images. Maybe that MP4 of the Roba San Andreas mod.
Was gonna post this to /v/ but the thread there was removed. Might as well just post it back here.Recently I went back and played DRY Chapter 2. I've decided to write another review months after my first because there were several things besides writing that I wanted to critique, and in the months since the most recent update has yet to address. Didn't play Chapter 1 for this, but many of my critiques can be applied there too.>Right from the title screen, opening the save slot before the screen fades out freezes it mid-frame>For some reason the default audio is unusually quiet. I checked, and it's set at 30 percent, when most fangames tend to set it higher.>Opening the pause menu freezes Cole's walking animation, which looks awkward.>So the menu font is still messed up. It still looks squished when the other fonts (including dialogue) clearly look different despite using a similar font.>Cole still has his walk animation after colliding with a wall. He also slides across walls when holding the arrow keys.>Maybe I'm not accounting for something, but the walk speed in this game is noticeably really slow. Running diagonally is also slower than running in other directions before speeding up.>Camera jitter. I don't know it it has to do with my PC specs, but everyone's sprite jitters while running, and this is VERY noticeable in the Light World where there's no run animation.>Camera movement during cutscenes is extremely slow, which just pads out time.>Dialogue in the small font (off to the side of the box) uses the engine's default font instead of Deltarune's.>There's STILL no support for enter/shift/ctrl as alt keys, despite most fangames (and Undertale itself) already supporting them.>Is it just me, or are room transitions a bit longer than needed? UTY had near instant transitions between fades, but here there seems to be a short gap between.
>>4072249The GTA threads are there because rockstar is paying the people running /v/, you shouldn't use them as an example of an acceptable format.
>>4072255>>Dialogue in the small font (off to the side of the box) uses the engine's default font instead of Deltarune's.that actually uses dotumche pixel which is the font using for battle dialogues but I've changed it to use the regular DT font>>There's STILL no support for enter/shift/ctrl as alt keys, despite most fangames (and Undertale itself) already supporting them.will look into it>>Is it just me, or are room transitions a bit longer than needed?the rooms preload a lot of audio tracks that are used in cutscenes so the game doesnt stutter mid cutscene instead, on slower drives that leads to longer load timesI'll check out the rest of the things later, although I don't know if I can fix the camera issues, already tried multiple methods but it seems to be either an issue with godot or requires me to rewrite nearly everything which I won't do. if you were playing on 30 FPS mode then camera movement was broken but it should be fixed in the latest patch
>>4072254There's one image of Cole drawn like RDR2 cover art, that should be close enough
>>4072255>>Cole still has his walk animation after colliding with a wall. He also slides across walls when holding the arrow keys.This is more of a personal preference thing. Personally I like that.>Camera jitter. I don't know it it has to do with my PC specs, but everyone's sprite jitters while running, and this is VERY noticeable in the Light World where there's no run animation.You playing in 30FPS mode? It can cause stuff like that.
>>4072259that has the name in bold letters in the image. It would be too easily identifiable.
>>4072255(cont.)>First Axis fight takes too long to spare for being the first encounter in Chapter 2.>Light puzzle in the archives is still BS. Pretty sure it's mandatory, too. Ended up just looking up the code in a playthrough (even the playthrough skipped this puzzle).>Some enemies that chase after you just reset their position after they stop. Feels a bit sudden and unnatural.>Letting bubbles leave the screen for even a split second causes them to vanish. This gets especially annoying during puzzles where you're switching between Cole and Kanako.>Also, you can still flip switches after solving the puzzle.>There's a glitch where using the inn (in Robotopia) causes the game to softlock, leaving it stuck on a black screen. I don't know what causes this.>Trying to get the secret boss key after capturing Ms. Syrup still seems cryptic, and most players won't backtrack to speak with her anyways. Actually, there's an NPC that appears if you return, but I'd rather have it appear immediately than having to backtrack.
>>4072261>>4072259True but Sentimental wise, I do like the idea of using that image. Shame that mods are so against rule abiding video game discussion
>>4072258Now that you're here I wanted to ask, Miss Syrup doesn't have a unique shop theme yet, right? I was thinking of making one, basing it on her boss theme.
>>4072267>SpoilerYeah, using that image would be nice, too bad the jannies are fuming right now
>>4072260>You playing in 30FPS mode?Nope, played in the default 60FPS and it causes that. But it should be addressed in every FPS mode.
>>4072263in defense of the mirror puzzle, it has multiple solutions including one that doesn't require you to enter the left side of the room at allthe enemy reset thing I might tweak since it does feel jarringfor the bubbles I guess I could add a grace period when they go offscreen before they despawn instead of it happening instantlynever heard of the inn lock, would need more info on how to reproduce it>>4072270she doesn't have a unique boss in game yet, although someone had composed one which I might add next update, if you want to she could have a shop but just remember the pitch will lower after her fight
>>4072263 mirroring what the other anon said, the mirror puzzle is skippable iirc, though its a highlight for me personally.
>>4072273as said here >>4072258 the camera issues might be related to how godot handles things, I've tried multiple settings but never seem to figure how to fix them, and I really never noticed anything until people started pointing them out, but I will try to see if I can figure some way, or if someone with more experience in godot knows, I'd appreciate the help
>>4072274>she doesn't have a unique boss in game yet, although someone had composed one which I might add next updateYeah I know, I meant that one
>>4072249human... i remember you are PICKED POISON>its just selective bias/janitor hateboner>a corpo studio paid for those threads, chud. indie threads are not allowed!!!>they're actually retarded and think its just a case of them moving people to the "correct" thread in /vg/
>>4072284Its all 3
When is it a good time for another thread? Or are we gonna have to wait until tomorrow again?
>>4072290Any time really
Well now it's getting pretty late. Thread tomorrow then?
>>4072360might actually be a good idea to start it in the middle of the night, helps it slip under the radar and drag down posts per minute.
>>4072364It does seem as though people are gradually losing interest in fangames. There's barely any discussion had here, even after the other thread ended.
>>4072394Not at all yonder doomposter.Overall discussion has been increasing more and more. Sadly we've lost an anon who stirred up a lot of conversation, and we're still dealing with janny tism.
>>4072394What's with all the doomposting? Anyway I could have made another thread after my last one got deleted, but I was away from my computer, and it seems like a different anon was already preparing to make another thread?
>>4072397Sorry anon, I deal with family obligations on saturdays and so my availability goes back and forth all across the day. I regret to say I got more busy than usual this week after that post, assuming youre referring to me. I do usually try to get in and make threads when available.>>4072394That doesn't make any sense at all.
I dont know if its too late tonight, but I hope things are well for you anons this weekend. Ive been thinking about fics and plan on hopefully spending some time tomorrow doing some fic reading, both to catch up but also Im curious if theres anything new thats good
>>4072422What fics got yoir attention, anon?
>>4072442well I saw people in the threads talking about that "thousand years I still love you fic", there's of course the newest chapter of partners I'm gonna read when I get up tomorrow,But I feel like there might be some new blood in the fandom and I really want to see if some of that brought back old writers who had unfinished fics, or got some new people writing fics of their own.Among various other names I've spotted here and there.
>>4072449>thousand years I still love you ficnext week it will be one year since the latest update...there was only one chapter left, here's hoping it just isn't abandoned or the author didn't get consumed into making it an animation or something (the prequel curse)
>>4072453god I know I'm probably just asking for pain by getting into a fic that close to the end with a good chance it will never see the ending, but I tell myself that going into any fic you never know if there will be an end so maybe I'll still have a good time with itI need some stories that will wrap me in a blanked of some emotion or another.
>>4072449>thousand years I still love you ficIt certainly is one of the fics of all time, that's for sure. But it's not a bad read.
>>4072469the concept just sticks in my head as such an unusual one, and the fact that people don't say it's bad makes me really wonder. I think I'll definitely start it tomorrow at least.
>>4072458The other story from the same author will definitely wrap you in one emotion or another.>>4072470I'll admit I haven't read the entire thing but it wasn't too bad yeah.
>>4072472>The other story from the same author will definitely wrap you in one emotion or another.that's foreboding. >I'll admit I haven't read the entire thing but it wasn't too bad yeah.honestly with the varying quality of fics out there, that's a pretty high mark of praise in a way.
Just saw this neat Roba, thought I would share.
>>4072476>that's foreboding. Good, it should be. That story, especially the ending, was something else.
>>4072491I went and looked up the author and I see they actually did several uty things, some real short, others a pretty good length, real big variety too it looks like>>4072490It's a good image. I'm not sure what's supposed to be going on behind her but I've had a lot of new art popping up.
>>4072495I've only read the other long one, forgot the name of it tho, but It's an alternate take on things.As for the image, my best guess is some sort of Ringu type deal with the pic having a slight crt effect as well as the weird 'code' background.
>>4072501>I've only read the other long one, forgot the name of it tho, but It's an alternate take on things.alright I think I see the one, fall of justice it looks like>As for the image, my best guess is some sort of Ringu type deal with the pic having a slight crt effect as well as the weird 'code' background.yeah I suppose that's all there is to it. I looked up the image and there's no explanation or anything in the comments
>>4072442nta but i'd recommend This Can't Be How The Story Ends by Professor_Fizzi consider it to flawed pacifist what Cover Up The Footprints is to true pacifist, it's that good
>>4072506>Fall of JusticeYeah that's the one.There were some cool things in it.And sometimes, cool for the sake of cool is enough.
>>4072509>i consider it to flawed pacifist what Cover Up The Footprints is to true pacifist, it's that goodnta but honestly that's got me extremely interested. Flawed pacifist is a gut punch, but that doesn't mean it's bad story material. I'll definitely check it out.
>>4072511>And sometimes, cool for the sake of cool is enough.honestly yeah, especially when dealing with stuff like fics. Sometimes the raw, unfiltered ideas just lead to some powerful stuff.
>>4072514True. It was more meant for the Roba pic discussion but it also fits the story we talked about too.>>4072509Isn't that on hiatus tho? Or did it get continued again?
>>4072520>It was more meant for the Roba pic discussionthat's fair, it's true of images as well, though sometimes with a strange addition to an image like that, I can't help but ask "what was running through the artists mind?" It doesn't make the image worse, just, I wonder what led to "ringu roba"
>>4072520continued, there's been a new chapter every 2-3 days or so
>>4072522Maybe the deep desire to see her crawl out of your pc. I know I would like a sight like that for sure.>>4072532Oh damn, that's neat. I should reread it then.
>>4072538>Maybe the deep desire to see her crawl out of your pc. I know I would like a sight like that for sure.you know what, I can't argue with that. I could use something like that right about this fucking second.
>>4072509Does that one have kanaclover? I nearly exclusively only read kanaclover fics
>>4070540Disbelief BunBun...
>>4072540Yeah, I would appreciate it happening too.
Damn, Jannies are still sniping DR threads it seems. Had one get deleted as I was browsing it for pics. /v/idya really is verboten holy.
>>4072581The moderation team purges any game from /v/ that gets too popular unless its dev/publisher pays them to keep it there. See Palworld for the most obvious recent example.Had Tobias forked over some cash, having a 24/7 general on /v/ would suddenly be completely fine.
>>4072590What if Tobias is the one who payed to delete them for being chuddie?
>>4072592That's stupid and nobody is dumb enough to believe that. There are IRC logs of the jannies/mods whining about the game not being a cultural phenomena.Not to mention years of failed ops to try and get people to hate the game in conspicuously the only threads about the game allowed to be on /v/.
>>4072592As simultaneously hilarious and petty of him as that would be, occam's razor says no - 4chan's moderation team already has enough reasons to do this on their own.
>>4072596That was a joke and I don't think anybody is paying to have their threads stay up either. I think the reason these threads are targeted for deletion is because they are recieved as being "on an opposite side of culture war", and not some grand conspiracy to quell originality and to forbid anything other then "cultural phenomenon"s
>>4072602Dude if you're gonna whine that ha ha it was just a joke you weren't serious. Don't immediately run damage control and whine that nobody pays for thread coverage on /v/.If you're going to try to do this don't suck at it it's boring.
>>4072602I mean we know that the whole 'cultural phenomenon" excuse has been used. I forget which major mod but that was a whole thing with the smash brothers spam (I think it was smash) that was on record from the IRC a ways back.
>>4072604It was not me running damage control, I thought you also weren't serious about saying that cunning corporations are paying to genoslide video game discussion, so I simply clarified what I meant, since you understood it as being genuine.I have not seen where I "whined", but you seem emotionally charged and I would rather not continue this conversation.
>>4072605Unless actual receipts or conversation screenshots start getting posted, I will not believe that anybody is paying mods for threads.Especially when a much simpler explanation have already been mentioned. Don't assume malice for something that can be adequately explained by stupidity
>>4072616alright well, I'm not really worried about if you believe it or not. I just know that many threads of rule breaking are allowed while many threads of not rule breaking are deleted. I attribute that to both malice and incompetence, because we've seen what the moral character of these people are like. The site probably gets paid by big companies because honestly it makes sense, it's probably the cheapest ad revenue because despite how 'dead" the site is, 4chan is still viewed by a lot of impressionable people.anyways this was brought up because DR threads were brought up, and ultimately they aren't the same threads as our threads.
>>4072592This, he did it to punish Yellow fans.
>>4072621It's ironic because the same excuse is used by the DR thread haters, who talk about how those threads are all astroturfed and are paid by "globohomo, mossad and Foxington himself". How do you seriously expect a marketing department of a company to justify it to its superiors? Especially on a boogeyman as a hacker known as four chan. You are vastly overestimating 4chan's importance and it's not like DR threads even hurt the "cultural phenomenon" threads in any capacity. It also doesn't explain the existence of AI slop and political threads. This is just ridiculous, but keep believing in it, if it makes you feel better.
>>4072628>It's ironic because the same excuse is used by the DR thread haters, who talk about how those threads are all astroturfed and are paid by "globohomo, mossad and Foxington himself".never seen that, that's silly, I'm not entertaining this any further.
>>4072605It was Abib
>>4072628>How do you seriously expect a marketing department of a company to justify it to its superiors? Especially on a boogeyman as a hacker known as four chan. You are vastly overestimating 4chan's importanceJanny's personal hatred of DR aside, this sounds like something a stealth marketer would say.
>>4072628>How do you seriously expect a marketing department of a company to justify it to its superiors?OC made on this website does frequently get reposted on the outside shitholes. Most of these reposts are a fart in the wind, but some do get a moderate (by those websites' standard) amount of views/comments/likes/reposts/whatever.So you're basically paying to give a bunch of stupid loser nerds a "comfortable" room to make you marketing material for free that will reap benefits elsewhere.
