>>takes too long to come out
What's wrong with this? Is there a time limit as to when a good game should come out?

it's on the wishlist along with ~1200 other games

>>713859998 (OP)
>platformer
Why would I give a shit? I'm not 8 years old.

the main character is highly unappealing and i hate his face so i will not be buying

>>713860329
how dare you not like my scrimblo oc

>>713860256
>look at me im a 20 year old who's too cool to play video games

>>713859998 (OP)
I pirated on switch saw how shit at was and then proceeded to just buy it. On S2. Im hain a awesome time. theres a pretty nasty soft lock tho unfortunately quite early on, it seems like the biggest fucking oversite i seen in years.

perhaps. I will consider. I’m burned out on rpgs and I was looking at Luigi’s mansion 2.

>>713859998 (OP)
the 2d characters in a 3d platformer trend is gay as fuck

getting tired of this 2D sprites in 3D platformer shit beebs game sucked niko sucked it all sucks
you dont get a good sense of distance and space with 2D characters

>>713860329
This tbqdesu. He's ugly and looks lame. The flat paper gimmick is also lame.

>>713861958
I don’t think so.

bad opinions detected

MC not fuckable enough

>releasing a new game during a steam sale
Always a bad idea. That said, it does look charming, I'll give it a shot.

>>713862228
>my game is just as good as nintendos!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>713862453
that was never the claim you deranged retard

>>713862065
>sense of distance and space
all you really need is the shadow and the player has one.

This game looks great, but it also looks way too busy and frantic in so many was. Character design, mechanics, visuals. That fucker can't even stand still without fucking frantically spazzing, stresses me out.

>>713861958
Tendies have zero perspective of videogames outside their walled garden (and they don't even get obsessed with the few good ones).

>>713859998 (OP)
this is supposed to appeal to those manchild nintendo stans who cant stop talking about banjo kazooie but they didnt realize they never play any game thats not made by nintendo

>>713859998 (OP)
That's an ewok I'm calling Disney get dat ass sued son

>>713860096
Not OP, but if there's a massive time gap between first trailer and release, people are going to either stop giving a shit or raise their expectations to astronomical levels.
Realistically, you shouldn't release a trailer unless the game is like 90% done at the very least. But modern faggy devs need constant validating asspats from the gaming community instead of, you know, just making the fucking game.

>>713864181
And for the record, this isn't an indie exclusive problem. AAA faggots have been doing this shit for many years now.

>>713859998 (OP)
the trailer sucks. It starts with some niggerfaggot talking in a whimsy tone when it should cut to something like 30 seconds in when the soundtrack kicks in, because the soundtrack is awesome.

>>713864181
>>713864280
AAA devs and publishers can get away with it though.
I think Cyberunk 2077 was revealed in 2013. Metroid Prime 4 is the most recent example.

>>713864432
They only get away with it because this hobby is filled with NPCs with the most basic "if [brand] = true, purchase product" mental coding imaginable. Indies can't pull that off (usually), and have to rely on making a good game.

>>713860096
>>713864181
>>713864432
Yeah if you're games not coming out in the next 6 months i don't give a fuck.

Maybe the webm is bad and isn't the best example, but it looks a little rough like they're mixing a few styles.
Paper Mario is simple while clean and clear.

>>713864181
This is really well put.

>>713864789
Super Paper Mario was an action packed sidescroller.

>2d sprites in a 3d platformer
No thanks. Demon Turf sucked.

>>713865345
chantelise was okay
though that was more focused on the combat than platforming

>>713865345
its ok when srb2 does it

>>713859998 (OP)
Pity bump.

>>713859998 (OP)
>hyped

>>713859998 (OP)
releasing a new somewhat niche title right at the beginning of the Steam summer sale is an extremely stupid thing to do.
All anyone's going to notice is the 10% release day discount next to it and then scroll past looking for better sales.

>>713859998 (OP)
Anon if you are going to shill the game at least do it right and post the name or something...

>>713869003
NTA but it's called Ruffy and the Riverside.
It was on my wishlist too but yea like >>713868996 said there's way better sales going on right now for me to pay full price for this.

>>713865345
demon turf was awesome, you suck

>ambitious
lmao

I played the demo and was underwhelmed.

>>713859998 (OP)
>you can't put that texture there! you can only put it on the solution
stopped playing there

>>713866859
>OpenGL: ON
>3D models: ON
yep, it's gamer time

He looks so STUPID! I mean, what the hell is wrong with him!?

>>713870648
Demonic Amiga protag.

>>713865345
As someone whose depth perception is already kinda fucked, Demon Turf was one of the worst experiences I had because I couldn't "feel" the 3D of the character while moving around like in Super Mario Sunshine, Pseudoregalia, Sonic Adventure, or any other 3D platformer with a fully 3D character.

yooo this is the most ambitious game i've ever seen fr

>>713859998 (OP)
This webm really isn't highlighting what was even interesting about the game in the first place...

>>713859998 (OP)
the song in the trailer was funky
hows the music in game?

>>713860096
2 reasons
people can only be hyped for so long, no one wants to wait years from announcement to release
and other releases can/will eat your lunch, if you reveal something and there is enough time for others to start a project and complete it before yours finishes then its a problem. even if its just other games taking shallow ideas from it.

both happened in this case

>>713859998 (OP)
As an aspiring NEET game dev with zero talent, skill, or knowledge in art, music, game design, or program, how long would it take me to replicate and wrap my head around this artstyle which is akin to PS1 games?

>>713871409
basically you would download godot then watch some ps1 style youtube tutorials then quit once you realize the massive amount of work it takes to make a playstation 1 tier game

>>713871784
Would similar low-poly aesthetic styles be just as hard to replicate?
