An anon recommended me this and I wanted to enjoy it so badly however the controls are garbage (sprint should really be a double tap the stick and not a button hold, the jumping also feels sluggish and bad) and its hard to tell whats going on with all the random events (most of them are just there to put more bullshit on the screen), enemies that blend into the background throwing their active hitbox bodies towards you, the fucking tomatos with the giant hitboxes that force you to bounce up usually into enemies or spikes, etc. They don't seem to be accepting steam reviews on the demo either which is unfortunate.

You can safely avoid anything that has a pedosky link in the description. You already know its garbage.

How in the fuck do you make this good of a hack and slash battlemage game and then use the WORST words and visuals to market it?

It upsets me at how this thing's player count is inversely proportional to its quality. And it's probably because of how it looks like shovelware at first glance.

I wanna like HYPNOSYNC so much but the dev is too much of a rhythm game autist that even basic mode beyond the first couple of songs is really hard. 4 directions + 8 keys is too much for new players. The hypnosis fetish visuals are pretty great though and I hope it actually goes somewhere with that. Here’s to hoping it becomes a proper game someday.

>>734060552
Don't believe there has been any updates.
I definitely got lucky at a couple points on that attempt but that was a solid half hour of attempts at least.

I can scarcely believe I'm actually looking forward to an Unreal Engine open world survivalcraft. These devs seem to actually have an idea of what makes a game fun. Not only are the visuals nice and cute, but the movements and gathering and general gameplay are also very smooth and decently satisfying. So many survivalcrafts fail at basic shit like making resource gathering painful and unfun, but these fellas have a good thing going.

They made these semen demons and then made them 6 feet tall instead of letting them be gobbos. I don't understand but I'm willing to forgive, since the models are quite cute anyway.

>>734065798
what the fuck killed the hype

File: Ardenfall.jpg (210.2 KB)

Someone finally made a Morrowind that's fun to actually PLAY instead of talking about. It also feels like it's better at being Morrowind than Morrowind itself, in that it feels a lot more alien and mysterious compared to the infinite brown swamp with big mushrooms. Doesn't have the same grit to it though, unfortunately. Very safe and sterile.

On the topic of safe and sterile, it's a shame the lead dev is a low IQ spineless faggot, but given how fantastic the demo is to play and look at I'm still willing to entertain the possibility of the full game also ending up good.

>>734067802

Several factors:
- Brazilians that not only flood the board with press preview threads, they actively take pride in ruining the next fest for most of the board, which is a natural byproduct of their brown brown animal nature.
- AI is rapidly gaining traction. During one of the first nextfests I gave a chance to one of the few AI games on it because it just had AI-gened skill images and everything else was hand-crafted, including all the actual sprites. That was about the maximum extend of sloppery you could expect back then and even then it was considered a sin worthy of the capital punishment. Now AI got so "good" that a chink/brazilian can tell it to make the whole fucking thing for him and then shit it out onto the nextfest page in the hopes that some 9 year old will download it and mine enough bitcoins for Chang/Pablo to retire.

You love to see it.

I played about 20 demos. Only ones I came away impressed by were,
1) Hozy. Really nice style and feels nice to play. I won't play it again though.
2) Replaced. Promising, interesting story. Reminds me of Inside and The Final Station.
3) John Carpenter's Toxic Commando. Really enjoyed it which wasn't surprising since I'm a big fan of WWZ and other co-op shooters.

>>734067304

>>734069152

>only 1 starter mon
Probably something something demo scope limitations.
Looking at the kind of shit they're planning to do I find it forgiving. Down the line you'll be able to splice and crossbreed and genetically engineer shit to a frighteningly versatile degree, so I assume it's all mid-late game loaded instead of giving a fuck about your throwaway starter.
>>734069026
I don't understand the purpose of this post.

>>734068376
I found it less fun to play than morrowind, it just doesn't feel satisfying if that makes sense. I like the style the world is going for, but like you said there's a lack of grit that makes it feel more like an amusement park, and the writing isn't bad but is just very bland

>>734069608
I liked the gameplay and the visuals, primarily. Cool creature designs, cool environment designs, weapons felt good (used to be dogshit in older demo versions), etc. The setting has no grit but it feels a lot more genuinely alien and strange.

Calling it an amusement park is a fair criticism, I suppose, all of my positive impressions come from it being a fairly curated experience with limited scope, so they could totally fuck it up a thousand different ways when they just let you loose on the world in the full game, but after the progress that was done since the initial version of the demo where weapons were dogshit and the world was boring and the creatures were more generic, I'm at least willing to give it a chance.

>>734069487
Does look like shit in the screenshot, but those portraits are actually outdated. The ones I saw while playing were definitely different from the ones they show in promotional material and seemed more internally consistent between each other. Not gonna pretend like I properly analyzed them all though, but I felt like I was a proper part of the world during my gamplay. I can tell they use SOME royalty free shit, like the music, but I don't know if or how far that extends towards the assets.

>>734069957
You get someone else relatively soon into the demo, don't recall how many exactly. The way they seem to be structuring this game it definitely seems like the kind to get better the longer you play rather than the other way around as it usually is.

>>734066534

Awful generic name but beautiful and engaging spectacle fighter. Dialog is slightly cringe, but I have some faith still because the setup for the main character is she lost her ass kicker husband and tries to get revenge using her swanky magic sword that basically does most of the work for her and is clearly slowly corrupting her. No girlbossing.

Very high effort spectacle fighter despite how generic the name and the banner look. The combos are fun to execute and aren't very tolerant of blind button mashing. Peculiar story setup, but the demo doesn't do it justice.

>>734070742
If you haven't played this one - play it. Right now if you can. It's an action roguelite that feels almost like a fantasy Synthetik. The sheer chaos and mayhem between the swarms of enemies, your short lifespan, and the constant juggling of elemental chemicals is just mwah, fantastic.

>>734070359
>Goblin Nest
Management sim. Demon lady brings back goblins from extinction to wreck havoc on humies. Raid areas for stuff mainly women to rape and breed but also resources and blueprints. Demo had 4 breeding stalls and 2 pleasure stalls (oral and titjob). You can choose what clothes to leave on them so for me I made the breeding stalls show bare feet. I can't remember the exact specifics of every breeding stall off the top of my head but one was doggy and one was missionary, and they had some options for where to put their arms in the stall, say behind their back in doggy, under their breasts in titjob. There are also birthing and milking stalls. They get raped, they get pregnant then give birth then get milked. They birth a limited number of babies, you can sell them after but I threw a few shaman in pleasure stalls. The mask wins me over compared to nun and villager.
Different types of women give different goblin babies but I only saw two in the demo. Villager, nun, and shaman, with shaman and nun birthing the same unit. There is one hero type (minotaur girl with big tits) in the demo. She could birth more gobbos and be milkable without getting pregnant but they were 1 star and I needed a lot of 3 star units to even capture her so I just left her in a display stall fucking useless whore.

>Anons, you disappointed me. There's enough demos with a male protagonist. It's just you, only you who don't want to play as a male. I don't understand why so many talks about saving game industry and how bad people shit in your games, when it's you who don't want to play games without shit. You happily eat wokeslop, girlbosses, femboys, gayshit and completely ignore games without it. You are not chuds like everyone trying to see them in you. You consumers of shitty games which killing game industry.

Actually a good idea for a sprites based game.

The character animation on this is phenomenal, there's more for the main girl in cutscenes alone than most SRPGs have for a unit in combat. The actual gameplay is very standard but I think it's good enough to stay for the charm.

I gave it a try because green women with big fat knife-ears sets my dick of fire, unfortunately this game also tried to set my PC on fire.
I'm not a big fan of survivalcraft games either but I liked the idea of airships, floating islands and a harem of green women but I think I will wait for the full release (in 2064 or something).

holy shit this is one of the best combo of first person platforming/speed running I've seen so far, rivals the AVENGE MYSELF demo from last year

Really cool fantasy submarine simulator. You're helping the pilot operate the systems, computers and controls of a fantasy miniature submarine. Old soviet theme, computers keep rebooting and glitching. Very well thought out.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3913370/Nebula_Veil/
A bit more simple and less involved than SEVER but still cool. The ship AI sounded like an effeminate guy doing a robot voice rather than using a filter lol
A more tactile game since you get to directly pilot this ship per default. The ship controls in SEVER are hard as hell to use.
Still, seems decent. I flew around looking for the frequencies in the black box before moving on to more demos.

Tried this game because I myself have had the thought that "Man a disco elysium style fantasy game would be cool" but holy fuck does this shit swing and miss the mark so bad. Themes in this game are a fucking mess; It's like they wanted a fantasy setting but were too afraid of it being too much of a fantasy setting so they added in a bunch of modern shit for no reason. There are bicycles and printing presses, news-stands and lightposts and way too much modern shit crammed into it for no reason. At one point you talk to a demon about the stock market. It's like they were afraid of being not enough like disco elysium, so they smashed all this shit in to hit an imaginary checklist.

The main character is basically retarded, which makes no sense because he's supposed to be some kind of high-ranking cleric in a government body that's basically the FBI. He's pathetic, can't do anything himself, and constantly fucks everything up like a retarded child. Even in combat it's you floundering around while your companion does all of the actual work, because god forbid you do anything cool or on your own.

The game also has some pointless election going on that you have absolutely no reason to get involved with, yet everyone bothers you about it. Maybe it makes more sense later in the game, but at the start it really seems pointless.

It has so much potential to be good, but the writing is just way too stupid for me. The main character is way too pathetic. I know you're a bumbling oaf in Disco but it's because the MC is an alcoholic who is also slowly going insane due to becoming psychically active. In this you're a cleric that's part of a much more powerful organization, not just some low ranking cop sent into a shithole.

2/10 Good idea but terrible execution. Won't be buying it. Thank you for reading my blog.

All right, after scrolling through thousands of demos and trying the few dozen that caught my interest, my verdict is:

Best demo: My Fav Chill Streamer Dies a Million Times
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3507880/My_Fav_Chill_Streamer_Dies_a_Million_Times100/
I'm not even a fan of VTubers and yet I still enjoyed this time traveling murder mystery game. The demo itself is rock solid. I encountered no issues whatsoever, not even technical problems on Linux.

Most potential: Voice of Nature
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4256650/Voice_of_Nature_Demo/
A Harvest Moon knock-off with an isekai spin but something quite refreshing is that it's a hetero entry in a genre now taken over by LGBT and I feel inclined to buy it just for that 'cuz such bravery deserves a reward. As for the demo, it has some flaws but the dev has said they are working on them. English is not their first language but questionable English is preferable to a English "localization" so I'll overlook that part.

Game I most wanted to play that wouldn't load: Engram

My impression exactly, and the planescape torment-esque opening got me kind of excited, after the worries raised by the modern slang in the character creation screen, but then it's exactly what you said, plus wayyy too much text that's not particularly engaging (the books...)

The other DE-like, Zero Parades, managed to get me hooked and left me wanting for more but this one I started skipping most of the text after talking to the mortician, skipped all the dialogue after the dwarves and alt F4'd at the goblin queen

I agree with you about me being dumb here because if I navigated the store better I could've gotten this done two days ago instead of having so little time remaining.

While I'm at it I'll give an honorable mention to Donutal. It's a friendly game that does a great job at addressing immigration by basically having the player play as a member of the Men in Black. The demo however ends a little too soon because you don't get to see the outcome of your choices on the last stage of the demo.

I liked stick of truth way better than fractured but whole, mainly because of the combat presentation. In sick of truth when someone casts fireball they light a firecracker, in fractured but whole when a character does a super speed punch they just do a super speed punch. It completely lost the charm of kids playing a pretend game.

i'm not sure if i liked this or not but it's so weird that i feel like it's at least worth checking out. EXTREMELY odd-feeling but might get better if you get used to it?

>>ridiculously impressed by the gameplay, really want to try it when it comes out
why? its a pretty basic fps
was very confused when i got a "blue plate special" bonus for hitting an enemy. the game doesn't seem coomery otherwise. completely out of place.

Anybody played this? Diablo Musou could be fun but for some reason I get the impression that this will either run like dogshit or put something on my PC I don't want.

Actually I change my mind about Inquisitor Shepherd. I thought it would be of the Devil or Psycho-Sleuth of this fest but it doesn't reach that quality.
My gripes with it are:
-most of clues are irrelevant in a demo
-game repeats some obvious stuff too many times because sometimes your MC decides to do summary of what you just investigated
-game sells itself as you being fresh inquisitor going to investigate the village in signs of heresy which was apparently detected in there with hints of narrative that some cult killed your parents and I thought we would slowly uncover the cases which would be related to that one cult but so far it feels like it focuses too much on MC story and the cult. I understand that's what devs want to focus on a story but I still felt disappointed
-demo ends "mid-trial" and with big cliffhanger
-weirdly enough it is quite buggy for a VN. I tried to repeat one section just to see how other choices change dialogue or if they matter but I couldn't progress past one point because puzzle would give me error no matter what I did. Overall got 4 errors which one was locking me out of playing the game.
Overall I think it has potential but I am not hopeful

cicadamata is sick as hell god damn

gave cat detective a go, alt f4d 10 minutes in because it's controller or keyboard only, no mouse

>>734082269
Legit suprisingly high quality game, I hope that they do not shy away from a potential darker storyline they've hinted at in the demo

This is KIND OF a deckbuilder but it's mostly a hack and slash.
>>734081256
There's actually also a bit of debuff and buff management but it's not felt well at the start cause the dev foolishly decided to lock some of the element combos behind items to not overload newbies.

That's just you being extremely trans. I only talked about gameplay when I mentioned it, and I only shared the titty screenshot because I have no desire to record all the gameplay only for you to not look at it anyway because of how trans you are.

What is that gif from? It looks kind of familiar for some reason, but wait is failing me.

>>734092132
It was fun but barebones and janky. I stopped playing after an enemy attack got me stuck inside of the ground so I didn't get far. I had a few bad stutters when large groups died but the game was far from unplayable because of it.

>>734089046
Gave it a try and it was indeed comfy. One thing I didn't like was that the randomized elements of the movie titles/subjects could have been done slightly more masterfully. Some of the box art looks like doggy doo doo, and not in an immersive way.

I'm convinced, the Vampire Survivors blobber game is 100% legit and worth a wishlist. Few things to clean up and streamline but the core foundation is absolutely there

I feel like playing more Isaac instead of playing any more demos...

Could have saved me a lot of annoyance if they let me filter out chinese devs.

Thanks lad.

All I've learned from recent NextFest's is 90% of indie games that have an artist, have an artist who don't know what a fucking proper aesthetic is, and just go for 'retro' filters or ironically intentionally crunchy graphics instead.

>>734098075
I remember a oneshot where it is revealed the heroes died and the sole survivor is a wizard who reanimates their bodies so she can bring them home. Good art.
