Can recommend the Slumhack demo. It's another cute puzzle game in the vein of MotionRec, Theta and Paralldox, Ooo etc. It reminds me somewhat of Grooveyard but this time you place the direction keys and the character follows along.

Protagonist is a human shota helped by a robot/AI oneesan too. So a good game for the anons seeking cute boys.

Finished the Holstin demo, really damn fun, too much handholding though. Worth keeping an eye on desu

I really ended up liking the Ooo demo, however short it ended up being.

>>712642087
Same, it was short but nonetheless very cool

I'm trying possessors and I literally cannot get past the intro segment where you need to whip three times because I can't get enough distance. I am losing my fucking mind because it takes a full fucking minute to retry this since you need to go through four rooms to get back and the whip sometimes just doesn't go out in the direction that I want it to.
Has anyone here played this demo because I have no fucking idea if the minute+ runback is intentional or if there was some unexplained mechanic about the whip, it's been 15 minutes at this shit

>>712642168
If you haven't tried it you might like MotionRec

>>712642326
The controls are very troublesome in the game. I had a lot of trouble against the possessed file cabinet and then there were possessed doors and I gave up.

>>712642791

This game was 10/10. Oh man. The protagonist tried his hardest to whine about everything and get the point across that his life was dismal.

But I was enthralled. Everything was perfect for me. The environment described was hell for the game dev, but I would love nothing more than to live in the desolate wasteland he described. I've been trying to get hired up in the North for a while, because I know I don't like being around people. But I might have to increase my efforts.

There was this whole part where he goes to a dreary job where nothing he does matters, which is even better. Just sit in some cubicle and have no one bother you, and nothing matters if you screw up.

I've never seen a game fail so hard in it's forced narrative. I was having a grand old time. But yeah, don't buy it. Despite my amusement it's not worth it.

Playing moonlighter 2 right now. Why did they get rid of price setting? Also the game stutters constantly

lads, they've done it again!
basically, they took early stages of any Civ game (which are, coincidentally, my favorite parts -settling in a new place, exploring, building new stuff until you meet other civs) and made a fully fledged big game out of it.
Probably day one buy, depends on a price

>>712639797 (OP)
Next Fest should be called Nigger Fest. Playing shit tier poorly made game demos because they are free is peak poor behaviour.

This is now my favorite demo of this fest and one of the best modern King's Field-likes. It's pretty lengthy too and your save will get carried over to the main game. The only real downside is that the voice acting... Well, it's there. Would've been better if it wasn't. For what it's worth you CAN turn it off.

O kurwa.

So Mind Divers was essentially a 3D Golden Idol-like. You can go through "memories" and there are black holes where things are missing so you have to deduce what happened from incomplete information.

I just don't think some games should be in 3D. this probably could have been 2D. I don't do 3D metroidvanias either. If that doesn't bother you, go for it, I guess.

It's not bad at all, probably one of the best countries to get stranded in. I lived through it three years ago. Wasn't best time of my life, but could be much, much worse.

I do occasionally find them. Shadow Cocoon was a good example of "looked like garbage, but wasn't". And although it's an old one, Reality Zero Layer was a good example of "looking like shit, but damn, this is actually decent".

But no, I don't think I have a system other than a tendency towards certain game types. I take in a pretty broad range of games and try to give most things at least a chance. But I will not try rhythm, sports, or multiplayer games at all. So I haven't tried stuff like Sinker Sound or Dead Like Disco or Unbeatable because I know have no interest in such things.

Survival Horror and Detective Games are probably the ones I go for the most. And Point and Click. This one has been mentioned by absolutely no one and was a pretty good Jazz Jackrabbit/Looney Tunes style parody:

Wow, really impressive, you must think you're so cool.

another demo that started with the boring part, such riveting checking-into-a-hotel action. skip the jabbering and skip right to the gameplay for the demo. next!

House of Necrosis. Mystery Dungeon game with an og RE inspired setting and art style. I put 2 hours into the demo, so it was enjoyable however, I never managed to beat the floor 4 boss, and some of the encounters, including that one, feel kind of bullshit where you easily lose through sheer statistical disadvantage. Like so many monsters swarm you that you cannot deal enough damage in time to not get gangbanged to death. I did enjoy the switching between melee and ranged. The enemies have patterns that you can (sometimes but not all times) exploit. The inventory menu is shit, I don't know why mystery dungeon inspired games have to 1:1 copy everything, including the poop menu. Switching weapons or healing require you to scroll through a list of items.

not as good as dimhaven but good enough, I guess. wishlisted. next!

>>712646214
I really enjoyed my playthrough. Tried taming horses but they usually ended up running off a cliff and dying, then I talked to nomads, then I conquered some dungeons and became king of the bandits there.

>>712649942
I don't mind that, but it's another game where nice and pretty unique visuals are wasted on a bland story and gameplay.
I guess the better pixel art in an indie game, the higher the chance they'll keep reusing the same sprites and maps. And that's how the game seems to work: the onsen is your base, and you go fight monsters, then go back again. An actual "J"RPG where you travel and explore with these visuals could be nice.

Meh, if I rejected Crescent Tower, better drop this one too, though there might be a soul hidden deep inside. I can't play EVERY rpgmaker game and I've probably already hit the quota for those. I think I've done too many of the "chased by a giant unkillable monster" survival horror games too, so those might start getting rejected instantly too.

>>712650702
I wouldn't play a game with that art if literally every single person in the world played it and agreed that it's the best thing ever created.

>>712649338
So what's the best Hades-like?

Solid game. Good puzzles. Nice Setting, abandoned polar research stations are the coolest aesthetic. i love the snow. you make the cut for the wishlist. haven't really seen this one talked about anywhere yet. good job dev-anon, whoever you are.

Don't get me started on the easy and pointless QTE tree holes that only offer the story I don't care about especially in a fucking demo. Full of bad game design choices.

>>712651382
Idk, would seem impossible from what I have played. I like though that enemies can be exploited to a certain extent, like zombies always take 2 turns for 1 action, so you can kite and knife them, or when an enemy has an attack they charge up, you can kite another enemy into it. But at the same time the pathing of the enemies sometimes seems quite harsh, maybe because you can't move diagonally in this game. (in my memory you can do that in other mystery dungeon games)

>>712651769
>>brings up trans out of nowhere
anon...

>>712652070
Doesn't seem like you can move or set your aim diagonally in this game. It's common in more modern mystery dungeon games but it's not a thing in all of them. I found a sword that lets me hit more than one enemy at a time and got plenty of heals (plus a cure spell) and other little treats that helped me kill the boss.

I don't understand why abyssus is rated so highly. It's pretty mediocre and the environments aren't interesting in the slightest from a gameplay standpoint

>>712651895
It's such a minor thing to implement, not sure why some devs just miss it.

initial position
>you brought up trannies out of nowhere
current position
>okay it wasn't out of nowhere but it wasn't funny

>>712652792
Ah, haven't seen that. I'll check the game when it's back on Steam then.

>>712653115
Is it? Sometimes I make jokes not even I find funny, but I think there's still a certain humour to that.

>>712652923
Abyssus was one of those games where if you just told me the description it would be right up my alley, but when I was actually playing it was just a chore.

>>712653385
You brought up jokes, not me.

>>712654108
so were trannies brought up out of nowhere because that anon is obsessed or not?

>>712652621
Wait no I found one more. I'll play it when I am out of the tub. It looks like it's copying House. House also has an upcoming sequel btw.

Some can be counted on to go away, and have even said as much, others will stay. You can determine which is which, sometimes. Anything with an upcoming kickstarter stays, they need a demo to show players.

Had a pretty fun time streaming Bofyne Unit with my friends.

>>712649338
I thought Sworn was pretty cool. With the distinct character classes of the different characters. And the Knights of the Round table theme.
But Savara isn't bad at all with its different weapons and the incentives to swap between them and use all of them. The different weak spots of the enemies is also kind of neat.

Honestly a little of both. It’s got solid gameplay and some legit good writing if you can look past (or embrace) the fluff. Think Undertale-tier weirdness meets off-brand Persona but everyone’s a dog or cat. If you're allergic to fur, probably not for you. If you're fur-tolerant, you might find a hidden gem under the layers of cringe.

>>712660770
That one guy finished his list and apparently he was doing a majority of the demo-playing singlehandedly because things died off as soon as he stopped posting.

Half the UI in this game sucks, but I wouldn't have included the reeling UI in that list.
You sure you weren't having an audio latency issue?

Oh, cool. They're doing the Jurassic Park plotline, but you play as Dennis Nedry if he weren't a fatass.

>The park has suffered a serious containment breach.
>you can use this breach as a cover to gain access to InGen data we want you to steal

This game absolutely would have dominated Next Fest if they could have gotten it out on time. Ferocious is the only comparable dinosaur game and it's a bug-riddled mess, but it's still in the top 50 demos.

Why didn't you leave a review?!

>>712664792
Nah, it's bad. I promise everyone who struggled with that demo would have been fine with a better UI. It splits your attention between 3 different elements for no good reason when most of it could be incorporated into a single area of focus without changing the gameplay.

>>712665624
This is so fucking cool, why can't Jurassic Park make games like this? I got to ride the tourist vehicle into the park and listen to the computer tour guide tell me about the park while I watched dinosaurs roam free from their fences.

This one honestly surprised me, and it seems like not many people know about it since there's barely any comments in the steam forums.
Ninja game about killing your targets with a bunch of different tools and weapons. It has local coop but if you're solo you can just grab the other ninjas and use them as extra lives when your first ninja dies.
You can also kidnap npcs to play as them and completely cheese the game since guards won't attack you. Kidnapping is kind of annoying though because npcs wake up super quick from being knocked out.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3634550/Ninja_Game/

>>712646543
It's basically "what if Honkai or Zenless-style character swapping and cooldown moves were on a game that wasn't shackled to mobage bullshit?" and the answer is a game that's just barely passable. It feels pretty good to move and certain upgrades really do help combat feel decent too, but those are random upgrades; waiting until you find the one that lets the default samurai guy Stinger three times before the cooldown is just dull, and the big slow heavy guy was more fun anyway (but even then swapping to the main guy to Stinger and close the gap is the best way to approach so he's in range).

>>712666170
The fakeout with the T-Rex statue almost got me, because I knew it was already around. It might be a double fake-out even. There could be a T-Rex behind that T-Rex statue!

>Mina the Hollower has an estus flask that refills at checkpoints and EXP currency that drops on death

>>712665738
I didn't really like it. The enemy animations are really goofy looking and the golfing also felt bad. Your camera doesn't go with the swing but instead remains at the point of the release.
You can't look where the golfball if flying which would be the whole point of a golfing game.

Shovel Knight at least took various inspirations and put them together in a novel way. From the demo all that Mina is really adding to the formula is the burrowing mechanic which is really just a replacement for a dodge when it comes to the combat. Otherwise it just seems like "what if Bloodborne Game Boy" which is disappointing after SK and its expansions. Maybe the full game is more engaging but it's not the Day 1 Buy I was expecting.

i'm so sick and tired of:
psx textures
fixed-camera RE clones
horrors
tranime girls
roguelite deckbuilders
boomer shooters, aka nu-doom
balatro clones

hold me bros, 60 demos in and i can't take it anymore

>>712667848
OK, fair response thanks. I hope that it develops into a proper stealth game past the opening then. I'll wishlist it and see what people say when it releases.

>>712666676
You are fucking retarded if you think that ubislop is anywhere on the level of Zenless

>>712668373
I was talking about the combat style of swapping characters on the fly who each have a smaller amount of cooldown moves but in a game not built for phones, no need to get so defensive. Haven't even played Zenless because I didn't like HI3 and it just looked like more polish on top of that concept.

>>712651185
Realm of Ink and Garden of Witches

>>712665329
After Inc. Revival is done.
I liked it, reminds me of a J2ME game I used to play back in my school days -- Townsmen. Demo looked pretty comfy, but I assume there are zombies down the road, and it might become more stressful at some point.
If it's going to release on tablets, I'll get it there, seems perfect for a bit of play laying in the bed.

Do you instantly uninstall a demo if you see the default unity or unreal walking animation

Give me my "forgive me zanzibart" and fuck off.

Blood thief and wildgate were the best demos. There were a few others but I forget the names

>>712671893
Write them down, anon. I do.

My personal opinions about demos i played this fest (demos themselves may not be from this fest, i don't give a fuck). All of them launched and work on deck, some have control issues though.
>Mina the Hollower
High production value but needs way more polish. Hammer sucks complete ass. Probably would be decent at least
>Memories in orbit
Decent metroidvania but devs didn't play Nine Sols and don't know that you can have both an art focus and good gameplay. Combo boss patterns in a game with fixed health is just asinine. Runs like ass on deck due to 3d backgrounds
>Hark the Ghoul
Decent base gameplay but holy shit this game is atrociously butt ugly, just no
>Outrider Mako
Top-down action about mining rocks and delivering them to a bunch of assholes. Really love its artstyle and it has some interesting mechanics
>Mini star quest
Interesting attempt to make 4 niggas in a row in basically phone game format. Doesn't have controller support so problematic to play on deck, needs more testing on pc. Dynamic combat music is always welcome
>Primland the magus
Oldschool as fuck platformer. Very edgy, real early 2000s indie vibes. Whoever decided to have zero options and especially no volume option needs some rope
>Section six requiem
Never played project moon or inscryption but i believe this cardslop tries to be them. I like it personally. No gamepad support, controls just fine on deck though.
>Sani Yang's laboratory
Furfag vn, apparently was already released in gook. Nice art and you get to drag autistic (literally) cats on dates, i like it
>Metro gravity
Not from this fest, i finally got to playing it properly and got filtered, what in the fuck is that final boss and what i am supposed to do there

>>712671294
City buildbro, I'm starving... please name some good demos you played this fest

>>712653114
I found it dull. I thought you'd explore and herd things but instead you go through linear levels and solve easy puzzles with your herd.

>>712668269
Horror, Shooters, and Card games are the most popular genres of all time. You're the problem if you hate whatever is popular. I mean, have you ever heard of a casino? Those games cost you way more than video games ever could and people still play them.

>>712672692
I'm not a big city builder gamer, sorry; just got a couple to try out to see if I like them. I did like After Inc Revival, and I still have >>712670193 Stario to try.
Do you have anything interesting to recommend?

>>712673057
I've been away the whole fest, I just came back today (it's midnight here) and I have one day to try out demos...

>>712673189
Take a look at After Inc Revival, it's pretty comfy.

>>712666730
Anyway, I got past the first puzzle bit, but could not get past the combat stage. It was impossible. You can take down one raptor, so long as you don't miss any shots. Taking down two is impossible. And you usually get swarmed by more than that. Sneaking by them doesn't appear to be an option. Jumping on a platform and shooting them doesn't appear to work. You can't outrun them, they are faster. Saving and reloading constantly to try get by them by respawning their locations doesn't work.

Dinosaurs have always been harder to program as enemies than zombies because they are supposed to be fast and vicious. It's honestly why I think zombies have always been so popular. They're just easy to program since you are modelling humans anyway, and not terribly difficult enemies. Dinosaurs are way different. So few games get dinosaurs right. Dino Crisis is still pretty much the gold standard for DinoAI. The dinosaurs are tough and will screw you up, but aren't unbeatable.

>>712673189
Some of the demos stay up after the fest.

No it wouldn't
Have you seen the playthrough of the demo on YT? Whole ass hour of walking in empty environments only to finally encounter a few lame raptors auto-walking forward until they can pathfind yo and then they auto-run forwards to you.

It is literal snoozefest.

>>712677362
he wasn't complaining about quality, he was complaining about quantity. Of course there's going to be a ton of horror games.

reviewing a demo, is like, I dunno, reviewing how sex is with your girlfriend. You just don't do it. You don't review stuff you get for free. If you paid for a hooker, you might go on a website and review her. that's how it works.

So far I played

>Aeromachina
>Primland the Magus
>Disaster Arms (cause it's an Alien Soldier clone)
>Easy Delivery Co.
>Mina The Hollower
>Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
>Crimson Capes
>House of Necrosis

and the only ones that were good were House of Necrosis and Ninja Gaiden. That said, Ninja Gaiden is not exactly Ninja Gaiden, and it's also sort of shallow and prescriptive with predetermined routing. It is fun though.

I didn't even know Mina could dig in save points until the end of the demo

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3169360/Sea_Walker_Saga/
holy fuck, this hidden gem has some crazy potential (but in current state it's bad). And yet unlike many games in this fest it has something original

>>712680141
>it has something original

he's just talking about the fact the protagonist's mother has big tits. It's not a new concept.

>>712656168
if you download it now I think you can unlock them later with goldberg

hm based on this thread it seems i really do have to make that thread on mio. makes me truly wonder what sort of superficial criticisms youd here about hollow knight if it had a demo in steam fest, especially considering how many retards cry that the start is too slow.
and yes, i am indeed implying that mio could be as good as hollow knight.

>>712681268
Look, you fat smelly nigger, Mio was alright but it is like a galaxy and 3 away from even remotely being Hollow Knight, lel.
Be real, nigro.

>>712665738
Well it's probably the best 4chan dev game for this festival. But I didn't know how putting worked and I didn't try very hard to figure it out. And there was no plot. You can just be shooting golfballs for no reason, there's got to be antagonists and damsels to save. A campaign mode in addition to a roguelike mode. Women need to be cheering me on when I golf, for some reason and the stakes need to be high at the end.

you've got a lot of work to do.

>>712681268
I didn't like hollow knight

Well, I finished looking at all 2000+ games and tried the demo of every game that caught my eye. My favorite was Crescent Tower. Combining the styles of 8-bit Final Fantasy and Wizardry is quite nifty.

>>712681558
Is it as hard as a Wizardry game?

>>712681268
I told you a fucking week ago that the backgrounds were too ambiguous. what has been done on that front so far?

>>712681558
So... it's like Phantasy Star?

>>712681558
>2000 games and anon wanted to play a clone of something from 1988

I rub my eyes in exasperation

>>712681478
>>712681416
Lol I dont know if the masses with subconsciouslt un self awaredly be able to appreciate mio like they got lucky in appreciating hollow knight, but i expect to see you at my MIO thread, disproving my every argument without buzzwords or name calling
>>712681660
>I told you a fucking week ago that the backgrounds were too ambiguous
who the fuck are you talking to retar > never talked to you a week ago, i just finished playing MIO like a day ago. Not sure what you mean by "ambiguous" but i can only guess you're talking about how sometimes there are slyly hidden paths

>>712649971
I kicked the shit out of the boss with a +2 revolver and like 12 bullets. It took a couple of runs to find one though

>>712681617
It has two difficulty levels, Retro and Modern. I don't have that much experience with Wizardry because I got trashed when I played it. I played this game on Modern as you can see in the screenshot. I don't know what the differences are between the difficulty levels.
>>712681731
2577 is the exact number according to Steam if you want an exact amount. Also, there were others I enjoyed like The Scouring and Slyders although technically those were from previous Nextfests.

>happy with reception of demo and having some modest bugs to fix
>someone comes and reports they can't play with dvorak keyboard
This has been truly nightmarish. It has forced me to setup remappable keys which is great but yeah this is truly awful, as far as gamedev goes this is the worst thing to happen so far during the fest, mainly because I intended to fix it in a few hours and now I'm pretty sure it won't be done until after the fest.

>>712681558
>Crescent Tower.
That sounds right up my fucking alley

>>712682142
why would I join literally WHO thread
There are dozens and dozens MIO clones out there, you might as well roll a dice and make a pick and then make thread about it but nobody will care

Reasons there are threads about HK is because it is special and stands out

>>712682256
You should've had remappable keys in the first place, it's a basic fucking feature

>At the point where I am just downloading random songs off of Internet Archive/Youtube to play in Dead as Disco
Currently playing through DJ Hero 1&2 tracks. I have more time in this demo than many full games I've played this year. If Hi-Fi Rush added a feature similar to Infinite Disco I'd be in fucking heaven.

Under the Island niggas, do you actually fight a boss before the demo ends? I stopped the horde headed to Vida's performance and then I went into the next room and it just ended abruptly.

>>712682876
Nobody cares.

>>712682142

My gameplay is kinda sloppy but something about the systems make every Perfect action feel fantastic.

>>712687971
nice taunts

>>712683617
I will nope out of a demo if I hate the way it controls and I can't change it.
Missing these basic features reflects poorly on the rest of the game and there are just many many more demos you could be trying out instead.

>>712688334
Thanks. I imagine optimal score-chasing will basically be finding as many moments as possible to Perfect Taunt during actual fights instead of after Finishers.

>>712686107
my bad

Best gooner games? Preferably non-porn.

>Has a whole title cinematic in NES style after beating the first boss
I already love this game

i had wishlisted this but after playing the demo its like space combat and rogueliteness of everspace with some shitty shooting segments in between and some gay ship maintenance stuff (ammo/shields/repairs/upgrades)
idk i bounced off hard but maybe you need to play with friends to get the real experience

>>712690506
oh also the VA is all AI which is a demerit bc some of it is distractingly offputting

No external item descriptions in Morsels is hardcore lol
I love the artstyle

I finally had time to go through the first batch of demos, recommending everything I decided to keep in my hard drive:
>Aeromachina
3d platformer metroidvania. Decent movement but poor combat. Dense demo, will give it more time if it lasts after the fest. player character looks very cool
>Ball x Pitt
I like taking brick breaking somewhere else, even though the roguelite genre sucks ass.
>Brutal John 2
Story and "humour" is terrible but I can always appreciate a duke nukem/doom clone. Love having a bunch of weapons to swap through and enemy variety
>Chrono Gear
just found out it's vtuber shit and will not longer recommend. The dash is very underwhelming but if you really needed a short 2d platformer demo to play this isn't the worst.
>Easy Delivery Co.
Uber delivery on a harsh northern mountainside. I dig the aesthetics and the car controls very well, really fun to master the speed of it. Notably decent music
>Mina the Hallower
Yacht Games game,2d zelda top down but there's a lot of jumping and verticality. The polish is there and the machanics are promising, hopefully the rest of the game delivers, mouse cunny
>Section Six Requiem
The one thing that sets this aside from the rest of the seaslop of this genre is the cards having their own HP and having to sift your hand to make sure you are protected, you hit the right combos etc. A porn game played around with this mechanic and this does the whole idea better The story and characters all feel pretty shallow and worthless but maybe there's some diamonds in the rock
>Sinker Sound
I suck at rhythm games but there's a lot more to the gameplay aside from tap to the rhythm/notes, and it's pretty novel. Frustrating to have to throw out your lure, find bait repeatedly to retry fish catching
>Super 10
Bowling meets minigolf courses. the vaporwave/retro is tasteful and the gameplay and levels is well thought out
1/2

>>712690831
i will say having a charge meter for my tears is not my favorite thing though

>>712690879
>Tamashika
FPS single player. I probably wont play the demo again but wishlisted. just a zoomer barrage of stimuli that somehow makes qtes engaging
>Trash Heart
2d platforming metroidvania. First gun is irredeemable but you quickly upgrade past it. Dash is a little awkward and one dimensional. That said the robot characters have cute dialogue, the story setup is very cave story esque. Pretty fun
Time to spend the rest of the fest trying to find any shmup i can kind

>>712690040
>Enemies can inflict level loss
I see the Wizardry influence now

>>712690735
AI is a placeholder according to the devs
Game is fun with friends but i can feel it become repetitive

>>712690506
you need 3 players for it to be fun.
pilot, gunner, and guy who runs around repairing, anything less is self torture

>>712691547

I'm fucking crying bros. Game turned out to be shit but it was worth it for this.

Morbid Metal demo was short but I see potential, I just hope there will be decent enemy variety in the full thing. And bosses. Kinda bad decision to not end the demo on a boss, but whatever. Combat feels great. And so does running.

>>712666251
like shinobido?

got filtered by mahou shoujo escape I figure the code combination is related to the flower room but I don't see how the folowers themselves translate to numbers

>>712666251
>>712693665
I remember seeing this one in a /v/ gamedev thread a while ago. It plays most like tenchu but my experience with the series is the ps2 remake and tenchu z. I felt the combat lacked feedback as it was hard to tell if your hits were getting blocked or generally registering. Fun despite that and has potential for sure.

>>712690831
>>712690993
My final verdict is that Morsels sucks. Thanks for reading my review.

>>712694582
Yep I felt very similar, wasn't really able to tell if I was even doing perfect blocks.

>>712690040
I'm somewhat interested but what makes this game different than other turn based RPGs? Is there a hook?

I RAN OUT OF RELEASED GAMES TO PLAY, SOMEBODY PLEASE RELEASE SOME OF THESE ALREADY.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2492070/King_Static/
I wish this wasn't so jank, I can ignore the random gen runs/roguelite stuff but enemy tells and lack of sound are annoying.
Which is weird, the fists and staff feel good to use.
I still wishlisted it but it's tentative, I might remove it later

>>712695504
It's just a combination of Wizardry and FF1. I can't think of too many other dungeon crawling jrpgs out there right now

>>712696083
Good enough for me to try. The dev seems very autistic and dedicated, so there's guaranteed to be soul.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3634260/Wicked_Seed_Demo/
It's like Parasite Eve but with the typical modern 3rd person camera. Combat's alright with staggering enemies and finishing them off with melee. The location and setting could be a lot better as it's a generic forest. Animations also have a bit of jank. Changeable outfits for Not-Claire though. Music's also lackluster considering how good PE's is.

>>712696643
They need real enemies. Those stock art yetis or whatever threw me off. It needs real Parasite Eve enemies.

Afantasia. Be warned you play as a stray dog in the second half of the demo.

any decent horror ?

>>712701754
stop asking

>>712681268
nah MIO is slop by virtue of not allowing you to use d-pad for movement
I really loved the visuals though. But the game is slow and had a forced walk and talk segment for the first 3 minutes of the game. It may not sound much but this shit KILLS replayability. This is why I haven't replayed nine sols since last year and only did the boss rush btw. Hollow Knight has its own issues but the devs understood what it meant to respect the player's time. You can skip the intro and all dialogue

>>712700564
>where are the metroidbrainias
Auridia is fairly basic but I enjoyed it.

>>712686321

My day 1 buys

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2851640/Speed_Demons_2/
Great sidescrolling racing game. Has a ton of modes and different cars. Even has a helicopter in the end.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2451100/Little_Rocket_Lab/
If Stardew valley and Factorio had a child. I hope the full version has a lot more components to play with. Though the game is story driven but I think I'll enjoy it.

Other wishlisted games, will see if they're good at release

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3293010/Easy_Delivery_Co/
Comfy game about delivering stuff in your japanese truck. Really love the aesthetic, but seems to be lacking content.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1866130/Morbid_Metal/
Roguelike hack n slash. Apart from the character shifting which I don't like and performance, seems to be a good game.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2542120/NINJA_GAIDEN_Ragebound/
2D Ninja gaiden. WIll buy if price is reasonable.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3135840/Hirogami/
You're a piece of paper. You can origamishift into different characters with different abilities. Again lacking content in demo.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/oo/
Puzzle game where you use bombs to move.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/2141790/The_Boundary_Condition/
Puzzle game with space manipulation gimmick. You can move in 1D, 2D or 3D. Character seems to be inside a computer.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3081840/Chrono_Gear_Warden_of_Time/
Platformer with time manipulation gimmick. You slow down and speed up time.

>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1672810/MIO_Memories_in_Orbit/
Probably won't buy.

>>712702967
Yeah. No.

I was really enjoying the demo. But I guess it has no soft-lock protection?
I didn't know the game actually cares about actual rules. And turned my 8ball into a baseball. Now in the preparation phase of the next game, I have no 8ball.
I can't place an 8ball in the rack because I have no 8ball. I can't even exit the screen. I'm stuck. A shame.

I'm done with the Fest. Don't feel like playing anything for at least several days now.

Standouts (high quality stuff):

> Legends of the Round Table
A very tabletop game that is also a very computer game. High production, very comfy, good amounts of whimsy, appropriately dated.
> Mystery of the Malign
An Idol-like I liked. Manages to string together the feel of a 2000s mystery game with "modern" puzzle gameplay. Feels pretty authentic and realistic (at least with handling witnesses) for what it is.
> Mage Tower Massacre
"I can't believe this is not 2005 Newgrounds!", the game. Hotline Miami home invasion score attack with spells casting bullets and lightning instead. Very simple loop that is done very competently. Lots of sounds are lifted from CS 1.6. for some reason, but I can't complain.
> Devil Spire Falls
A procgen Daggerfall-like made by a single newlywed Brazilian with a much more relaxed combat. Muskets, flails, spells, talking about religion with naked brown barbarian women wielding battleaxes to calm them down and make them teach me some survival skills. Doesn't feel like it should work at all, but it does.
> PARKSIDE: DECAYED SOUL MANIPULATION
Probably one of the closest things you can get to the feeling of Deus Ex (2000): higher-than-average tech, low life, night clubs, gang hideouts, police drones, working for techno-Illuminati for a living. Good immersive simulation. I think the devs also either made Corprus Edax or are relayed to it somehow.
> PIGFACE
Snuff Simulator 2003, great melee + ranged combat. A bit of Hotline Miami and Hitman in there as well. Isn't ambitious, but does its job perfectly.
> Demonic Mahjong
Absurdly high production for a Balatro-like. "Mahjong with extra stuff" isn't exactly new already, but the sheer amount of effort put into it is pretty fascinating. WARNING: High quality gamblecore, may lose you for an hour in the blink of an eye.

Why is Game Maker Toolkit's game actually fun?
It doesn't have the hypnotic music of Balatro nor the brainrotted visual and audio presentation. But in gameplay it's fucking fun.
I just hope the full game is actually an improvement on the demo and not somehow worse.

i was trying to post this for several days but turns out that 4chan took my fucking picture posting privileges, MOTHERFUCKER; i apologize for no pics

Pecularities (things that are not high quality, but are worth checking out if you want something weird):

> Legacy of the Fallen
A VN/RPG that answers questions such as "what if your mom was a party member?", "what if your mom was a divine being?" and "what if your mom watched you suck some fat priest titties?". Very fucking bad mechanically, but turns endearing once you get through.

> Touhou: Dreams of a Sunflower
Armored Core 6-like/Souls-like/Sekiro-like bullet hell. Generic environments, but a lot of SOUL put into the other parts.

> The Gatekeeper of Scarlet's Mansion
Touhou tower defense bullet hell game mixed with complicated fairy bowling mechanics. Better try than be told.

> Distant Flux: System Initializing
A text-only RPG/simulator that prides itself on the world not caring about you and going through with their own things. Takes about 20 minutes to even understand what is happening.

> The Czar is Dead 2
An RPG/Shooter made by an underground Russian hip-hop artist where you go after your son as the last emperor of Russia. Reads like an ironic statement made by a clearly mentally unwell person. Captures the feeling of playing a game in a bad dream perfectly.

> City of Voices
The Idol-like I didn't like. It's both too pixelated and unanimated enough to make looking at it a chore, which is a cardinal sin for this subgenre. Others have been fairly positive about it, though, so you may like it more.

> L8R SK8R
An Australian millenial skating platformer with millenial dialogue that doesn't get too annoying. Can be pretty fun, but also incredibly frustrating if you're not laser-precise with your controls. If you want a less stressful platformer, try Bloodthief instead. It just works most of the time.

>>712693754
>>712698979
>>712703936
>Mahou Shojo escape
There are two puzzles in the demo, solving any of them ends it.

First puzzle, the code, which is what I figured the solution for first was making the connection between the colors on the calendar on Mondays, looking at the phone to find the date for the correct week, then understanding that the colors refer to the flowers on the wall. IIRC the phone password was 2481 because the date on the phone showed October 25th so it was the third row/week

Second puzzle with the geometric shapes you figured out probably on your own but the solution is in webm rel. I couldn't find it alone, I only understood what the figures meant after I was told by another anon that the shapes were tied to the bookcases. Like there are 12 books within a row and there's a figure with 12 shapes displaying the number 2, so you know it's either the 2nd book from the left or right form within a specific area.

>>712704991
remember to leave feedback somewhere. sometimes things like these fly over the dev's head.
also if he never acts on it people can give him shit for it later on

>>712675382
You're fucking retard, anon.

>>712705032
>Demonic Mahjong
I have no idea what I'm doing but it sure looks pretty.
My only contact with Mahjong used Japanese term so I'm even more confused than I already was.
Maybe it's time to learn Mahjong

>>712705310

>>712690879
Which porn game?

>>712665029
I thought it was a legitimately beautiful game, but I enjoyed looking at it more than playing it. I thought the world-building is excellent and the way the police push the story along was really well done. I don't know if I want to play it so much as I want to see a movie of the game's story set in this world.

>>712665312
I want to like it, but the fucking controls are way too loose and imprecise for this kind of game. The physics turns to shit when you're ice skating and become unpredictable so the platforming becomes impossible even though the game expects you to keep going. Even worse, the game puts enemies everywhere that wittle down your VERY limited life pool, but added an Interrupt mechanic so you can kick them out of their attack animation. Then they added a KNOCKBACK to your attacks to make it impossible to interrupt reliably. WOW! Absolute counter-synergistic game design. It's like the devs don't understand how their own game works.

The art is great, because Ubisoft has an army of talented artists. The level design is VERY nice with branching paths everywhere and interesting diverting paths. The Problem is that THERE NO FUCKING MAP. Within an hour the game became annoying with all the branching path I thought were once cool now became a labyrinth. Being able to draw on the map and having the path show up in the game world would solve this easily, but somehow no game dev thought of this yet. It's mind-boggling.

>>712706996
Anon, it's 2025. We all have Hall effect controllers, some even moved to TMR. Get with the times.

>>712639797 (OP)
Most games were slop, but here's the few I wishlisted:
1) Military Incremental Complex.
It's cookie clicker with extra actual game mechanics. I want to see what the devs actually do with this one. Seems interesting.

>>712708101
2) Jitter - Cool art style. Tight controls. Weird space story. Doesn't really play like anything else I've ever seen so it gets a lot of credit for being new.

>>712707809
>he fell for the meme magnets
f

anybody try absolum?

>>712708101
3) Hardwired - It's a pseudo-hacking game that gets story elements in through file transfers and camera feeds and a lot of cool contextual stuff. I thought it was a really neat idea for a game. The gameplay really worked for me.

>>712708381
Yes. I found it really fun and enjoyable to play as a casual shitter, despite the roguelite elements being really shoehorned and the pregnant nigress narator. It's especially fun in multiplayer. But if you're a hardcore arcade beat 'em up enjoyer you will be disappointed.

>>712706996
did you try reconnecting it. or maybe a PC restart

>>712708101
4) !mrak - Ouch my bones. It's Superhot but cooked with 100% all natural slavjank. It's good but it sucks. But it's good. It's like if aliens made superhot.

>>712651185
It's not a demo, but you might want to look into Sworn.

Wasn't Superhot Polish as well?

It's just comfy to stay in the station alone and see the endless space

you're building this massive space station but moving from zone to zone still takes the same amount of fuel

>>712710754
they're indie games anon what did you expect

>>712708901
Oh yeah, forgot about this one. Russian-occupied Hokkaido in 2003 is a good spin on Japan settings. I expected it to be more like an imsim but it's more like a tactical shooter; still good, though. There are a lot of bought assets but they fit well enough.

Great potential but definitely needs work.
Very fun though, ran into a bandit whose halberd was enchanted to make people dance on hit. I only survived because it was low durability and broke before he could kill me with it.

It seems that transsexuals are some of the most creative people on the planet. Mad respect to them.

>t. nintendo

What the genuine fuck did I just play? Throughout the entire demo I had literally no idea what was going on, or what I was doing, but randomly cool stuff kept happening, then all of a sudden I locked the enemy into a special attack where lewd photos were taken of her, and then on the other hand I got hit by an attack that summoned two girls who groped my girl's tits, and idk what triggered any of those interactions, whether i was even dodging anything, or how counters work or long range or all those different things

Anyone here played it and was able to make sense of it? It was kind of fun nonethe, and the designs are coom.

>>712710754
thanks for the warning

>>712714786
its a porn game being retrofitted for steam, just search for it on f95 instead

SSR Wives is piss, actually

>>712714786
>>712714846
This but ntr kino
About 80% of the scenes are for NTR GAWDS

>>712716004
you're a broken pathetic excuse of a man

>>712716027
But enough about your wife

>>712714786
There's something familiar about that game's aesthetic
https://store.steampowered.com/app/581230/Soul_Saber_2/

I don't know if the two dialogue choices that appear basically the same having "vastly different outcomes" is better. How was I supposed to know that irrelevant bit of dialogue was hugely consequential?

If that guy on the steam forums is even the dev, he doesn't have the green username thinger. But he talks like he's the developer.

>>712716428
how are those the same
one of them is
>no u
the other is
>we live in a society

>>712710585
in space?

>>712716650
yes, you need to accelerate to reach the new orbit, then accelerate again to stabilize that orbit, both of which takes vastly more fuel to do every time you increase the mass that you are moving

>>712716796
mass does not matter, you only need to overcome the nearest strongest magnetic field
if there is none you can use the weakest ion booster engine to fly

>>712708329
Fell? My sticks aren't drifting, anon.

>>712716428
One of them is aggressive and accusatory, one of them is passive and has the girl save face.

>>712717005
Neither are mine and I'm still using my old potentiometer sticks.

>>712716881

Slyders was neat but quickly devolved into Serious Sam style walking backwards holding M1.
Lot of unavoidable damage and nearly no healing too so eventually I just died to enough backshots from enemies that spawned inches behind me

>>712717315
So what exactly did I fell for? And why other anon's sticks do drift?

>>712716881
I believe there is a gravitational field to overcome as well

>>712708329
>poorfag cope
enjoy your drifting lmao imagine being so poor that 50 bucks for a controller is too much for you

>>712718074
It's not even 50 now.

>>712710754
thanks for the rec

>>712702967
>Your Turn To Die
this is one I've completely given up on. I played it so many years ago thinking the dev would finish chapter 3 "any day now", and now I can barely remember the characters and have completely forgotten about the plot

>>712718074
why would i spend 50 bucks extra when my old controller works perfectly?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2381760/He_Who_Watches_Demo/
honestly, the novelty of being able to play a 3d puzzle game with one hand was enough for a wishlist

>>712707809
What's currently the best controller our there?

>>712718441
GameSir Tarantula Pro

>>712711316
Mentally ill male shut-ins have been making great art for centuries.

>>712718441
Probably one of the Flydigi top-end ones. Apex4 or something.

>>712711212
not every dev is a full blown tranny and this particular tranny slop was aggressively shilled the whole last fest

Herdlings was very comfy but short

>>712718119
turds maybe, real stuff like blitz 2 or cyclone are 50+

>>712718336
>perfectly
>shit poll rate and gigantic dead zones
>probably lacks even vital features like gyro or back paddles
>or even god forbid it's another retard using dualshit on pc

>>712718830
>back paddles
>vital
can't stop lmaoing at these paypiggies

>>712683617
gamedev might not be for you

>>712718119
SIRS!!!11

>Game says to use controller for best experience
>People use mouse and keyboard
>Go to discussions and call controls bad
What prompts this behaviour

>>712719359
Playing on PC.

Nice panties on this corpse

Majority of games will be available after its over right, even if they're not i can just run the .exe right, i swear i did ev

any way to see which devs are retarded enough to remove their demo after the fest ends?
i still have a bunch in my backlog

>Game starts, tells you you need to parry using a limited stock of bullets
>The only way to go forward is a boss that kills in 4 hits
>If you die to him, you can't get more bullets
>You can just run out right at the start of the game because the first thing you fight is a boss with tons of hp and 4 hit kills
10/10 game design

>>712719560
>t i can just run the .exe right
Depends on whether devs implemented steam drm (most do).

>>712718660
Anon, you're just trying to justify spending 50 bucks on something that now costs 15, we both know that.

>>712719359
>90% of times this game is made in Unity
>which means it comes with preinstallled keyboard control profile mixed with controllers
>YO IMMA GONNA FINNA FUCK IT UP SENPAI
>*leaves the sub 80 IQ notice that KB+M is not supported*

>>712665029
its okay and its more of a stealth puzzle game. By chapter 2 the game adds a shooting dart to make guards sleep, but I hate that its game over when someone spots a sleeping guard

>>712677320
>TurretGirls
Looks interesting, let's download and try.
>resolution
>1080
>720
>that's it
For what purpose. What did they gain from it. Do they not know how to scale UI to resolution and drew it in two versions. Why.

>>712720090
And it runs at 32FPS on 7900xtx. Perfect, Japanese gamedev at its finest as usual. Somebody give japs an actual PC and let them learn how it works, I think they're stuck in PC98 era.

>>712720024
also the game is pretty
I want the developers make a Commandos game

>>712720183
Yeah, that's it. It's just a goonerbait that runs, looks and plays like shit.

>>712719359
I've seem multiple SRPG demos still using the FE style controls, controlling an on-screen cursor with the joystick/arrow keys.
Technically controller works better with these controls, but the entire system is just cope for not having a mouse in the first place and objectively bad design on a system that has a mouse as standard.

>>712648290
It's like someone copied Breachway and improved the combat animations and only the combat animations. Cool raypunk spaceships, tho.

>>712640765
>>712640848
Isn't the gimmick there gachashit?

>>712720001
For me its "Lumina: The Uprising Of Folk Legends"
>Pretty sure it had a unity spash screen
>Says to use controller
>Controller doesn't work

>>712719932
nice cope bro

>Brebeman
Why does it look like a rhythm game, but doesn't play like one? Am I missing something?

>>712718989
>i'm retarded and LOVE having less buttons on a device already strapped for them
real snoy audience hours

>>712721148
Lmao, what? You're the one coping, suggesting spending 50 bucks on chinkshit that is now sold for 15.

games i'm uninstalling in 5 seconds

>>712656168
Depends on the dev. Some disable them right after the fest, or some time after, or after they launch their game. Some delist the demo but let you keep it. Some keep the demo up and even update it sometimes. Some tinker with their demos and temporarily show them off on various events. And some devs keep embarrassingly outdated demos that poorly represent the final product.

>>712720090
That's just typical japanese coding folded over a thousand times.
Game has potential but it lacks polish, some things that annoyed me besides performance are too long intros between days, every time you have to wait till you get DAY X typed on your screen then see animation of MC entering the turret and showing her butt, main turret having too little ammo, upgrade prices feels too random and I would prefer if you had limited enemies per day that you have to kill(like only 20 bugs are invading today) instead of timer where enemies vanish after it's end

>>712639797 (OP)
Let's not lose steam now on the final stretch, lads.

A friend of mine who is in a Chinese class said that almost none of the students knew who King Yama was so you're already ahead of them in some Chinese mythology by playing the game.

>>712720183
Even today, Jap devs still use 90s coding standards on modern systems. Ever see any modern JP game with 30+ second load screens? Probably because the loading times are limited by the fucking frame rate.
