>>717673185 (OP)
Is there a word for this kind of color scheme? I've seen other games that are colored similarly and it looks repulsive.

This looks promising

>>717675678
I call it "Tumblr-shading" because it's cel-shading with ugly colors that only tumblrfags would find aesthetic. Coincidentally, games that use this style tend to be made by members of the pronoun gang.

>>717675678
"Cel shaded"

>>717675678
It's the "we don't want to do any texture work" aesthetic

>>717673185 (OP)
This woulf unitonically look a lot better with path tracing

>>717675678
In my head I call it the DawnBringer palette. Pixel art fags really like palettes consisting of these ugly desaturated colors and this palette in particular was very popular in the indie/hobbyist scene in the '10s

>>717676475
that looks awful.

Speedrunning has done irreversible damage to the indie scene.

>>717675678
you'll notice they avoid primary and solid colors, like there's never a distinct red or blue, instead they avoid and desaturate primaries while leaving alternate and in between colors like neon cyan, and will often just have all of them together with no consideration of value structure. I don't know where the fuck this is coming from but yes it is annoying as hell

>quirk chungus female protag platformer

>I don't know where the fuck this is coming from but yes it is annoying as hell
It's an amateur crutch of using a couple of easy tricks to avoid using a generic color palette or needing to develop the skills to come up with your own unique advanced color palettes

>>717676871
Do the people making games like this think it's a bad thing when I can spot an interactive element on sight because it just looks different from non-interactive stuff? Do they think that looks "jarring" or something?

>>717676019
>>717676067
>>717676121
>Toribash but a dungeon crawler
I dig it.

>>717677047
no. it's a video game. you're supposed to notice things you can interact with.

>>717675678
an attempt

>>717677189
Then why are they going to so much trouble to make interactive things look indistinct from general terrain and background objects? Do they think it's better to slap a UI element hovering over the thing I'm supposed to do and call it a day?

>>717677094
>Japanese
that's cheating

>>717677284
because this way it fits into the environment and still does its job which is to draw your attention. it's an efficient and elegant way of doing things that game devs tried really hard to force back when yellow paint wasn't a thing.

Any games that aren't transcore?

What gaem?

I spent most of my time in boomer shooters or whatever so I'm never up to date with the bing bing wahoos.

>>717675205
I swear this is already a game.

>>717676019
I wanted to make a game like this but physical and based on DnD
Every decision a player made would be on a short timer, increasing in length based on how good their character's reflexes were

>>717678125
that's clearly a sequence break that's only possible from a high place. probably isn't even a sequence break and is more akin to extreme backtracking like diving off the top of tall tall mountain.
the amount of jumps doesn't feel excessive in the first game, but the level design is a lot more linear there but the level and setting design suffered from looking too samey.

>>717675678
Nu-tranny

>>717673213
She looks so fucking ugly now.
It's like the devs believe that games are carried by gameplay but then they make the gameplay worse than their first game too.

>>717678583
>that's clearly a sequence break that's only possible from a high place
A skip of this nature that's able to be showcased pre-release is a sign of a problem, anon.

>>717677571
man, this looks worse than those fake game adds.

>>717678918
wow you're not lying.

Soon

>>717676951
I think the intent of the color scheme is to look modern and artsy.
Honestly, i don't mind the palette itself, but how it is applied since it tends closer to the neon/teritary colors it gives off an artificial and alien vibe that works really well with cyberpunk settings and futuristic games or games on alien planets, but the issue is how it is always dumb comfy games that use that palette which is the exact opposite feel where things are supposed to feel warm and familiar and instead everything looks like artificial neon barf

>>717680170
is this an actual thing?

Every upcoming indie game in this thread looks like the devs spent 100s of hours trying to make an exact replica of their favorite AAA game, but replaced all the characters with their ugly OC characters. In addition, all these games fall flat technically and fail to surpass the original games they are trying to rip off. This is why you will never be a successful indie dev. Do something unique next time. Lol.

Serious question: How long until we have AI that can create an entire game out of a prompt (and probably also knows my preferences in games)?

The quality of AAA and indie games alike has gone down massively in the last few years. I'm simply no longer interested in playing the same rehashed slop developers keep putting out.

So, how long do I have to wait?

>>717680752

>>717673185 (OP)
>>717673213
The very idea of making a platformer is almost a red flag when it comes to indie gaming.
They are simple games. It's actually HARD to make a good platformer, that's why barely any big corporation even tries, you've Nintendo who has been doing them since forever and pretty much nobody else, and when others do try they often fail
I just don't know why the fuck this is even a thing.

>>717673213
Shit like this is why the linear 3D Mario games have become my favorite. Why the fuck do people think cap jumping is actually a good mechanic. What happened to playing the actual fucking game and it's levels. Bowsers Fury is the best Mario

The demo was very easy but otherwise it was very kino and has me quite excited about the actual product. Despite having only ever properly played one real Resident Evil game, and not one that is generally considered one of the good ones Indie resident evil-esque games have rapidly become one of my favourite genres. Incidentally, anybody noticed how many of said games seem to come out of Poland, Phase Zero included?

Nigger, Bowser's Fury's level design and the new 3D World physics let you skip more shit than Odyssey. You have access to fucking propeller blocks, Tanuki Mario, AND the cat suit. Not to mention having one massive body of water around 98% of the map with a teleporting mount means no consequence for missing a jump.

This is the type of shit you put in your platformer when you have no vision. I see these all the time in "upcoming" indie platformers. All that is missing in this shit heap is wall-running and grapple hook. None of these indies have a single original thought. I am amazed. This is why platformers are dead.

>>717684175
Also, I think it probably counts as more of a Silent Hill-like but I thought the demo for
>SSR Wives: The Murder of My Winter Crush
was pretty neat, particularly on account of it's absolutely banging soundtrack.

>>717679196
This clip is like 2 years old. The dev keeps starting small things, draws a ton of porn of his own characters, and then abandons it. He's a gooner that gets nothing done.

>>717684095
Retard, the propeller blocks only come out after clearing the stage the first time. Which is perfectly fine for the other missions to reduce tedium and making the stage more freeroam. The cat suit and tanooki are more limited in traversal, which makes them good.

>>717673185 (OP)
Jump needs more weight also ditch the double jump

>>717674879

>>717696819
Indies realized that the only ways to stand out as a 2D platformer were
- really high-quality pure game design, which is rare and difficult
- story, which is done better in other mediums
- genre blending (e.g. metroidvanias), at which point you're not called a true "platformer" anymore

So now 3D platformers are the new frontier, and (on paper) there's more ways to stand out given the wider availability of aesthetics and gimmicks. 3D platformer fans are also more passionate than 2D platformer fans typically.
