I'm curious to hear what gen-alpha has to say about Story of the Blanks.

>>42405047 (OP)>RetroThis low resolution with this high amount of colors doesn't align with any historical system
>>42405047 (OP)>Story of the BlanksI have last played that when it got released. Damn, that was 13 years ago. I'm fucking old.
>>42405097>retroYou know that retro is not something from the 80s anymore. The first few CoDs are retro already.
>>42405047 (OP)We have gen-alphas on this board?
>>42405047 (OP)For quite a while I used to comment on three scary game videos and hopes that Markiplier would play this someday but I don't think he ever did.
I really doubt /mlp/ has a high opinion of FNF but apparently story of the blanks has a lot of that game and I've watched the whole thing through and it's actually pretty sick.
>>42406160I hate voice to text so much
>*in hopes>*a mod of that game
Did you faggots know this was made in under a month for a gamejam?
>>42406177gamejams are stupid
>get a hundred or so people to shit out a game in some arbitrary deadline (one week, one month)>most of the games aren’t even done by then, and those that are end up buggy, laggy, or just shit.>show them on stream (in this case /mlp/con), some games are just OK and approach the level of a free mobile game in terms of appeal, others end up garbage. >developers abandon them and never patch/update them so they become forgotten>the cycle continues later onIt’s just a waste of talent, these faggots really should just make a game regardless of the jam or not and maybe we’d get something half good instead of generic platformer no 274628 with ponies, or shitty VN game no 27365 with ponies

>>42405047 (OP)>RETRO>NEWAnon...
>>42405047 (OP)anon this game is old enough that it will qualify for /vr/'s RetroBTW rule in a few years
Gen-alphas only respond to "retro". They don't know what a NES is let alone an Atari 2600.
>>42405047 (OP)I remember this. It was a fun era.
Back then people always tried to go for the "Luna Game" appeal.
You know, hide a horrific moment inside a cutesy game. I remember SotB also had a Tumblr, but it never went anywhere beyond the small comic where Ruby saves Applebloom.
At least it was a fun era.
>>42406165Can't you type?
BITCHES BI TCHES BITCHES BITCHES BITCHES
>>42405097I'm also working on something with those restrictions in mind.
Needed to be longer - 6/10
Did you all know? The sequel was programmed, but the programmer lacked the graphics for it.
I'm one of the few who read the script for it. It involved you playing as Sweetie Belle.
>Expect full blown Zelda game
>Get barely 30 maybe 40 minutes of gameplay if you keep dying to the fast nigger.
Son, I am disappoint
>>42405097>low res / high color... GBA?
She was going to spoil the party.
HEY FAGGOT I SEE YOU LURKING. PRESS PLAY

It doesn't need a story sequel, it needs a gameplay sequel.
In a time when all you had were creepypasta screamers, this little folktale horror game of a cursed town was kino and raised above the storm of shitty screamer worm virus games.
>>42411146Is there some esoteric knowledge you don't know about? like holy shit what kind of mystic powers do you have? You know Lauren's middle name, you called out Mike Vogel BEFORE THE LEAKS, you instinctively said Lauren Faust voiced Fausticorn in Shawn Keller's animation and now you're telling me there actually was a planned sequel for Story of the Blanks and you read the entire script for it?
What kind of crazy voodoo magic do you work on, man?
I see you lurking, faggot.
Didn't this have a secret game editor?
>>42405097Resolution is right for NES but yeah the palette is completely wrong. It'd be impossible to make a legit NES Applebloom that looked remotely correct.
>>42405047 (OP)>5 minute walking simulator that's over before anything even happensIt...it's really good anon, I like it a lot!
>>42415580You slut! You didn't even play it! It's a 15 minute walking simulator before anything happens + a puzzle inside the big house

Just noticed that it actually attempts to emulate the NES's 8 sprites per scanline limit, except IIRC on NES the ones pruned will always be the ones on the farthest right and the pruning is done line-by-line instead of entire sprites. So B- for effort I guess.
Who is that bitch who runs like she's at the olympics?!?!!
>>42405047 (OP)APPLEBLOOM WAIT BACK THERE FOR A MINUTE WHILE I REMOVE THESE FALLEN TREE TRUNKS
WHO THE FUCK EVEN MADE THESE TREES FALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE WE JUST CAME FROM A MINUTE AGO?

>>42416676>It's like your favourite indie pixel games ... LIKE MINECRAFT>Gen-Z & Gen-Alpha: OOOHHHHHHH I GET IT NOW Do they really?
SoTB of the subtlest happy to horror games of its genre, much better executed than any other since its story is very similar to a folktale rather than any heavyhanded creepypasta.

>>42408300what if they have carpal tunnel syndrome? I for example can't use my right hand
Post the link in the Tamers general, let's freak out some gen-alpha.
>>42405047 (OP)How would you faggots remake SoTB?
For me it's 32-bit graphics and adding Luna as a playable character.
>>42419325Add a day/night system with having to scavenge for resources and return to your base and barricade up.
Was this place always a cesspool that barely discussed anything? I mean it's obvious that a bunch of introverts have nothing to say but it's funny when they parrot opinions whenever there's /pol/ discussion going on.
>>42421297/co/ /v/ /tv/ /mlp/ /vr/ always have to be baited into discussion with twitter screencaps, social problems, pol problems. I mean even the Rainbow Dash Presents thread required somebody to compare it to Tamers in order to bring it above 200 replies in under 2 days compared to most threads here that take 10 days or more to reach 500 replies.
/vr/ used to be good for the first few months when people posted & discussed level design.
Literally nobody:
No i mean it, literally absolutely nobody:
(You): >REEEEEEEE /POL/!!!!
Maybe bots would be a good thing.
>>42421297You're asking for the opinions of gen-alphas. Most of them were barely cognizant when sotb was relevant.
I doubt a bunch of 10-15 year olds are going to say anything interesting about a game they probably only watched letsplays of. (Assuming they'd be stupid enough to admit to being underage)
If you wanted more replies you should've opened with ragebait.
>>42422594>you should've opened with ragebait.Why is this generation like this? why can't they be honest?
>>42422600This is the unfunniest generation ever and guess what being funny requires?

>there are people in this thread who actually think there's anyone under 30 on this board
>>42422600Irony stopped being irony and started being the default.
Welcome to the endgame of cringe culture.
>>42422620There's probably a handful of underage retards on this board (most of them being soiteens if they even count), and there's definitely retards under 30 posting here.
Check any recent thread where Anons post their ages. There's plenty of late to mid 20s faggots.
>>42422620Nice try, underage. All the oldfags left a long long time ago. Not to mention 1 more funny tidbit;
During summer 2011 a bunch of 13-15 year olds joined this fandom because MUH SUMMER.
This fandom USED to be composed of the oldest members in existence with proper jobs, families, etc. for 9 months during 2010 and 2011 before ... fucking summer hit us all. Check the polls for Equestria Daily where everyone admitted when they joined and how many. It was something like 2000 oldfags vs 7000 newfags.
>A....AKSHUALLY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF 28 YEAR OLDS!!
cope
It's not even bait he's just pissing in the lake.
Huh? Oh no /mlp/ was always a cesspool. Whenever you tried having a thread about Story of the Blanks it ended up with 0 replies.
D'Lirium instead had a lot more success on /mlp/. I'm not sure if it's because it had shoot shooty gameplay which everyone enjoys or because it had an OC goth waifu.
seetheposting won't change what it says on your drivers license, m8
I do not age. Time has lost its effect on me.
Now I understand why young Gen-X and older millennials forced zoomers and gen-alpha to play their games.
Can anyone actually play the game without Flash enabled?
>>42417083It unironically warms my now cold dead heart that someone still remembers my game after all this time. I have another song I won't be able to use in the final game if it ever gets released, which is looking unlikely, so I'll try to post it some time soon if Goolag lets me log in to my old account, which is also unlikely. At any rate, thank you anon.
>>42424612Hi RMS, Ruffle is Free Software despite being written in a dogshit language. You should be able to run it.
>>42426043What became of you anyway? Excel spreadsheet? game developer? software engineer at Microsoft? code monkey?
There's been gamejams lately on /mlp/ since 1.5 years ago every 5 months or so. Next one might be in October.
https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/42274221
I'd be interested to at least read a game design document of what you guys had planned rather than have your game as forgotten as Minty Fresh Adventure 2. Markus had a ton of ideas for it before he abandoned it.

Where do I find that goddamn crank?

Did /mlp/ ever have a big thread about this game or was it always a cesspool living under a rock like MLPG said the moment /mlp/ was announced a week before it came online?
