Personally for what it was I think they did good. 2+ years to make n all.
Granted you can't really get a game over til about 1/2 way into the game really removes some of the fear factor in it.

This is a squad tactics game I shill here from time to time. Essentially you play as the secret police and do things like plant evidence and false flag your own military in a soviet russian government where everyone is starving. Aside from the first missions, all the missions are pieces to a larger plan. Which is refreshing because a lot of indie games are just mindlessly mission after mission.
It's hard as fuck though with a combination of stealth and micro management. You can't gun through levels because guards have some way to respawn (whether a civilian sets off an alarm or something else) and guns are really unreliable unless they're in the hands of the correct agent.

Forgot to mention the name. SIgnal ops.
Also I forgot to mention it's class based. Like you pick your squad before the mission and each member does something different. In this first pick the spy (old dude) distracted a guard so bolt (the person who manages your radio signal) could zap him from behind.

Sure, but publisher independence is only a useful label for commercial games. Cave Story and La-Mulana are both freeware. In addition, there is somewhat of a difference between the Western concept of indie developers and doujin makers in Japan. Western indies typically make it their full occupation while doujins are usually side projects made in someone's spare time from their day job.

It's not like there's a Western equivalent to the term "doujin" that distinguishes game development hobbyists like Nigoro (or the GR3 Project anyway) to people like Studio MDHR who independently finance their games and work on them full time, we just call them both indies because of the situation surrounding their finance and publication. None of these things are mutually exclusive and it doesn't disqualify either of those games from meeting the thread's criteria.

If you want to drop the bar through the fucking floor and say that Hollow Knight is praiseworthy for being marginally above shit then go ahead, but Cuphead is the one that actually set the bar. Ignoring that because it's too good for the comparison to be fair is a bitch move.

No. You ARE cherrypicking by attacking solely the hand-drawn animations.
The animations go in tandem with everything that makes the presentation great for that game. You're ignoring the massive amount of content they have to deal with, along with the lightning effects, the music, the SFX, the attention to detail in environment interaction. You isolate the animations alone and state they're shit, when the animation style is just one of the threads that weave it all together. I'd even dare say the quick-repeat animation in itself is also a reason why the game is fast paced, in a sense, reflecting spritework animation of SNES platformers having equally little amount of sprites per frame. But I'm not gonna go there. I will simply state Hollow Knight achieves a great presentation and PULLS OFF 3 frame animations just fine thanks to its well paced gameplay.

I enjoy the game because it has good gameplay, and its presentation delivered is satisfactory. It's natural to defend a game which happens to pass the test. You're attacking and stating it's not satisfactory. That's not true. You get upset and resort to Cuphead as the standard and state HK is shit because it's not animated in detail for its 150+ enemies and world.
Come on. You're being a contrarian faggot for absolutely no purpose.
once again your'e a vile snake twisting words. I stated the hand-drawn animation used in HK was not generic indie retro pixels. That's all I stated. You followed stating it was shit. I stated the animations do the job by being proper for the pace of the gameplay.
You're perhaps the most insufferable anon on this board. Also, downloading a game and fucking with it for 5 minutes is hardly proper rebuke for people questioning if you actually played the game. If anything, you're the one with no ammunition, by posting some gog folder instead of in-game achievements, as someone who would've played the game would.
I did call you a contrarian autist, and it's even more so now that I really feel vindicated in that claim. You're just being a contrarian faggot for (you)s.

Hollow Knight and Cuphead both use as many frames as they need to convey what they need to. Animation isn't about how many frames you can cram into a single action, it's about the question "How many frames do I need to properly convey what's happening?"
In the context of Cuphead and Hollow Knight they both use just as many frames as they need to in-order to communicate with the player as to just what is happening. Anyone who thinks one is superior to the other just because it has X number of frames are no better than those terraflop autists.

See, this is the response of a man who can speak English.
I don't agree anyway, Cuphead could have cut corners between key frames and the action still would have been conveyed adequately, there is no getting around the fact that they went above and beyond "just as many frames as they need to". I'm not saying the animations are a hundred times better because that's how many more frames there are, that's just a convenient metric to begin to show how much more effort was put into it, since that's what's in dispute. Are you going to take the position that Hollow Knight's animations are some paragon that is worthy of this much praise?

Once again, you twist words in a desperate attempt to scrap the bottom of the barrel for a rebuke.
No one is stating Hollow Knight's hand-drawn animatons are the best hand-drawn animations in the world (but you know this, you're just trying to at least chip some argumentative damage so this is stated since you've been proven wrong already), it was merely stated it's hand-drawn animation does the job properly. As stated four times already in this thread, and apparently you are unable to grasp the message due issues in possessing basic reading comprehension, the animation in HK conveys what needs to convey to deliver its fast paced gameplay.
At this point you're going in circles. You could've simply ended with "I see your point, but I don't agree because x". No need to be a damage-controlling, inflated-ego, pedantic cunt about it.
You state there was little effort in the animation. Once again i can tell you didn't even play the game. There is huge efforts from the developers to deliver an immersive, colorful world, with attention to detail in many things. one of the reasons the artstyle meshes with the world is their choice of animation. If it was overly animated it would honestly be a slower gameplay (outside of perhaps death animations) and drive eyes out of terrain, which is paramount to be wary of in its gameplay.
To close, no one is taking a position of circlejerking HK's animation. What deserves praise is its presentation as a whole. But again, this has been stated previously in this thread, and you're going in circles due to lack of a proper rebuke.

I wasn't being flippant, can you actually speak English? It would explain why there's such a fundamental miscommunication here. It would also explain why you're bizarrely imitating phrases I've used, like "pedantic cunt", or why you're consistently misusing "rebuke".

A 3D stylish action game mixed with a roguelite. It's a little unpolished, doesn't quite feel like it reaches its full potential, but it still has a great comfy style.
>iCEY
2D stylish action game this time. Very short if you know what you're doing, but the main draw is in the lovely hand-drawn graphics and Stanley Parable-style meta-commentary.
>A Robot Named Fight!
Literally Super Metroid except as a roguelite.

>Crawl
Multiplayer game where there's one adventurer and everyone else is a ghost, and they possess monsters and traps in a dungeon to kill the adventurer and take his place. Got that hipster pixel art, but it's still fun if you have friends.
>Charlie Murder
One of the best beat-em-ups I've ever played. I'm not even memeing.
>Creepy Castle
Faux-ZX Spectrum RPG/metroidvania with minigame combat. At least worth a look-see on sale. There's a trans character, but it's never even mentioned outside of a developer patch note, which is fine by me.

I didn't bring it up because I hate shitskins, I brought it up because I don't think you fully realize what you were saying at the beginning. I mean, you are still an arrogant faggot with no self-awareness, but having a loose grasp on the language is definitely exacerbating the problem. Surely at some point you had to realize that if English is your fourth language and it's my native language that it's possible the miscommunication is on your end. It's even funnier now to remember that you accused me of having poor reading comprehension while you're shitting out pajeet-tier pidgin English.
While we're talking about miscommunication, you do realize the ONLY thing I've talked about regarding Hollow Knight is the visuals, right? There was no need to spend three posts valiantly defending every single aspect of the gameplay, presentation, and development as though that's somehow relevant.

It's good in general, but it's biggest flaw is a lack of content and foresight on the part of the devs. There's only four main worlds, and the game doesn't last that long, even if you go for full completion. You can't even unlock everything without playing the modding support beta and collecting tokens in user made levels. It's cool that there is so much official modding support, though, even if it isn't that polished right now, and there's going to be free updates adding another world and co-op. Either pirate it or wait for it to go on sale, because there's not enough game there to warrant the full price.

Played the two of these recently, both are fukken brilliant.
Brigador does nothing incredible in terms of game structure, the campaign missions are similar to the freelance missions but with some changed around objectives and a selection of fixed loadouts, but the gameplay itself as well as the visuals and music are spot on. The visuals suit the game perfectly, everything in the environment can be destroyed and the combat feels perfect. You generally have to use a somewhat hit and run style of play as you get shredded if swarmed by large groups, but the majority of your arsenal is incredibly destructive, so you can destroy swathes of enemies in seconds if they're massed, usually resulting in lots of collateral damage to buildings. Another cool feature is the game allows for stealth, enemies cannot keep track of you if you get behind cover, so you can lose them or flank groups to get the drop on them, they will also only detect you based on sound or line of sight, so you can destroy opponents before they're aware of you at a distance or by firing through light cover (or heavy cover with high penetration weapons). There's a ton of different vehicles and weapons as well so the way you play will vary a lot by loadout. Large vehicles with heavy weapons can just go ham and get piled on by most things, but smaller ones will have to be more careful, as they can't take as many hits or reduce enemies to slag as quickly as the larger ones. Overall it's the kind of game you can play for a few hours every week for a very long time, though it would probably get stale if you played it continuously for a long time.
Steamworld: Heist is the best turn based game I've played in a long time, it plays a bit like worms as you have to manually aim shots, but combat takes place in maps that are almost like platformer levels with ladders, explosive hazards, etc. It aces the "small numbers rpg" idea as health and damage figures are only about twice as big as they are at the start by the end of the game. Positioning is very important as even the best cover will be defeated if opponents have low or high angles on your characters. It has a nice range of weapons and utility items with different abilities, although the variety isn't overwhelming you can make a pretty varied team. Random drops are also a thing so it can make some playthroughs very different depending on what items you get, as some work really well on certain characters. It gives you 8 different characters with different abilities, the one criticism I have of the game is that using all the characters with abilities that let them recover health seems to always make for the strongest team, as it means you don't need to put health recovery items in their equipment slots so can use more offensively oriented utility items without being glass cannons. Whereas the Glass cannon characters lose their offensive edge due to being dependent on healing items.
02b6d5 No.13966565
>>13966373
Also I'd suggest getting Heist on sale if you buy it as the DLC pack for it is good but it costs 1/3rd as much as the game while not having that much content. It adds 6 levels, 3 of which have boss fights, as well as new items and 1 of the 8 characters (without it there are only 7 available characters).

As far as games go, Hyper Light Drifter is also… pretty good? It's got a nice style, and combat feels alright, but I don't remember if it's still locked to Game Maker 30fps. Also, don't pay money for it, the developer is a faggot.

Rain World update is a little buggy, but so was the base game. I was just playing on an old save file today so I'll probably start a new playthrough as The Hunter tomorrow.

HLD was updated to run at a locked 60fps instead of 30. The problem is that Game Maker forces devs to tie game events to the framerate instead of some internal tickrate and changing the framerate basically means crawling through the source code and manually updating all your code and an unlocked framerate would speed up everything in the game.

Thematically, all the corps are supposed to have similar styles between facilities. Strategically, I felt there was some good variety except for "setpieces" like the vaults and augment chambers.

Git gud.
>Internationale and Banks being the only two starting agents worth shit
I liked Decker a lot, and Nika and Xu are pretty good.
>half the gadgets and cybernetics being worthless
True to an extent, but the half of gadgets and cybernetics that are worthless changes depending on your situation. If you don't have a cloak, then Chameleon Movement is useless; if you do, it's a godsend. I think my main problem with the gadgets is their high cost, especially when you include the cost to upgrade stats high enough to use them.
>insane reliance on RNG because if you don't have AP tasers and decent software by day 3 you're fucked with no way out
If you haven't planned ahead to ensure you get all that, it's your fault, not the game's.
>days 4/5(contingency plan) are poorly thought out and the secondary objectives also completely break certain mission types depending on your luck
I haven't played the DLC so I couldn't say.
>killing guards is a fucking joke and a completely worthless playstyle in terms of sustaining it financially and in terms of it actually being viable, since all it does is increase the alert timer and alert guards to your locations.
I agree that non-lethal is objectively superior to lethal, especially because there's no melee or silent lethal takedown like the tasers and DARTs are.
>that fucking retarded ending
I liked the ending; I thought the twist worked very well, for what a simple story it had.

People did like Gunpoint, that much is sure. It wasn't so much my type of game, but if it's yours, then go for it.
The great thing is, the developer actually made a demo for the game, so you can give it a try for yourself. In fact, he even wrote a blog piece after releasing the demo, telling how it resulted in so many pre-orders that he was able to quit his job.
Now, my own question: has anyone here played The Sexy Brutale? I'm a little curious if that one's any good. Looks kinda interesting.

I remember taking a look at that and being on the fence. What's it like to play?
Also, I'll have some free time this week and I might make a rec image sorta thing. What sort of indicators/labels would people like on it? I'm not going to add e.g. genre or price because those can easily be found by doing research; I'd like suggestions of relevant information that can't be easily found with a search engine. I was planning on adding "dev/game is pozzed" and "toaster-friendly", but I don't have any ideas beyond that.

You could distinguish freeware vs. commercial products as suggested earlier
968646 No.14065389
>>14065209
I'm in two minds about that. On the one hand, there are freely available versions of e.g. La-Mulana and Cave Story that you might have trouble finding because they have commercial remasters. On the other hand, that's not that hard to search for and not nearly as common as e.g. poz or toasterware. I'll keep it in mind if I don't get any better ideas.

It's difficult to determine just what games are or are not poz sometimes; I try to check by going into a developer's Twitter follows and seeing what comes up when I search for "fem", but that's only so effective. Can a developer still fall through those cracks? Is it possible for a game to appear poz, but actually be pretty chill?
Look at a game like Creepy Castle, for instance. I mentioned before >>13964508 that one of the characters is trans, but this is never mentioned or referenced in the game itself, except that this character with very pronounced eyelashes goes by he/him. The subject is only brought up in a patch note for the game (apparently the character is based on a person the developer knows, and when that person went trans so did the character). Is this game poz simply for having an lgbt character, if we don't know offhand the dev's own politics? Or is it just someone reflecting their own particular life experience?
968646 No.14072749
>>14072504
>It's difficult to determine just what games are or are not poz sometimes
I would generally go more by the dev than the game itself. Bastion doesn't have any dumb Tumblr shit in it, but since Transistor lays the diversity on so thick and Pyre is worse, I'd probably label all three of them poz. Braid and The Witness aren't leftist screeds either, but since Jonathon Blowhard is a fan of TACOMAN and Gone Lesbian, I'd label those games as poz too. I think I might end up running it by the GG thread as a last pass to make sure I didn't miss something.
I do agree that it's impossible to definitively know whether or not a dev is pozzed, which is why I'd only label games/devs that are definitely pozzed and I'd give people the benefit of the doubt. The point of the label is to inform people about the contents, not to steer people away from the game; if I wanted to steer them away, then I wouldn't include it at all as I probably will do with Pyre because it's not nearly as good as Bastion & Transistor.
>Is this game poz simply for having an lgbt character, if we don't know offhand the dev's own politics? Or is it just someone reflecting their own particular life experience?
I wouldn't say a game is pozzed just for having an lgbt character, especially if it's unannounced and hardly present in the game, but it wouldn't hurt to do some research on them to see if there are legitimate reasons to believe they're pozzed. Again, the point of the poz label isn't "don't ever touch this game", it's "you might not agree with the developer's political opinions, but the game is still worth your time".

Hollow Knight was amazing. BLUE REVOLVER was also good as h*ck.
cc697a No.14080977
I've only played a little bit of The Sexy Brutale so far, but from what I've played I'm really digging the game. It's giving me some real Ghost Trick vibes, and not just in the whole "travel through time to prevent people's murders" thing; it also has that same kind of supernatural mystery atmosphere to it. So far, it's really engaged me.
Also I'm playing Wuppo, and that's… pretty good. It's cute. There was one part that was just a huge pain in the ass.
cc697a No.14082994
Alwa's Awakening is also pretty good if you want to play a hipster retro platformer that isn't Shovel Knight. I'd say it's like a really short metroidvania-type deal, it's got backtracking and it only has like three upgrades through the entire thing; it's really more puzzle solving. The jumping is kinda floaty, so much that it becomes really obvious this isn't a retro game, but it's good for the platforming.
Or alternatively, play Odallus or Oniken if you want some genuine Castlevania/Ninja Gaiden action respectively. That autist has the NES style down pat.

I think the combat was a bit lacking. The game trys to feel more like a souls game by limiting your fighting to be mostly on the ground. The problem comes because by ignoring height, they are basically limiting the fighting to 1 dimension where 3d Souls would still have had 2, which makes things much more monotonous.

The Sexy Brutale is worth a pirate if anything considering how few games take advantage of the Groundhog Day time loop. Unfortunately I felt let down in the end by the too easy puzzles and the game destroying pretty much all sense of mystery in the final chapters. The best parts of the game to me were in the beginning, learning everyone's routine, exploring the mansion and learning what is going on before the game decides you're too dense to figure anything out on your own. To be fair the story isn't that bad and the music is pretty good, then you realize half of the mansion exist for nothing more than flavor text and a place to play 52 card pickup for a secret Bad End.
