Thread 718095161

The seraph faces are atrocious. All of the clothing and armor somehow looks shittier than Minecraft.

For a game that makes you autisticly place every pixel of every jar, sword, and pillar, the character creation and customization makes me really confused and disgusted.

The classes are even worse. Who designed this shit?

You can't exactly make a 1:1 visual clone of Minecraft primarily because Kikesoft will come after you so they have to do shitty ugly designs just so they won't get sued.

ur moms ugly lmao

I do wish they had a custom skin system like minecraft instead of a character creator

>>718095325
That isn't an excuse. All they had to do was make skins. Steve is the shittiest player model ever, but it works because it's optional.

>>718095161 (OP)
I just play with the kobold mod

>>718095757
>Steve is the shittiest player model ever
Let me guess, anime troon?

>>718096276
I don't even know what that means. Steve is ugly and brown, but also endearing. More importantly, custom skins make the game more enjoyable. I like making skins, and expression is important in a social game.

>>718096775
Don't you know?
User created skins are heckin problematic and DANGEROUS and Mojang regrets adding them to Minecraft!

Poetic justice lmao

He's tanned, retard.

They want to be able to sell the game for $30 on their own website and $40 on steam, which is reasonable. I imagine most people would buy on steam despite the higher price just because they are used to Steam.
But volvo bans that in their TOS.

>>718097598
This is actually very based and more devs should do this. Centralised systems like Steam are a detriment in the long run.

>>718097765

So never.
>>718097798
Valve is correct though, why would they allow their customers getting charged 10 bucks more just because? it's not fair at all to the consumer.

>>718097928
>>when it's done
where do they say this?

>>718097928
Valve are charging the 10 dollars.

>>718098081

>>718095161 (OP)
can you post an example of a face design that looks good on a low resolution blocky character?

>>718097827
Especially since once Gabe dies Steam will likely rapidly nosedive into the putrid abyss.

>>718097682
>unreasonably high
it's the market standard

>>718098072
Valve takes a well deserved cut given the services and market it provides to developers and quality of life it provides to it's costumers.
>>718098131
Ok I guess you're pedantically correct, still there is no plan of adding the game to steam within the foreseeable future

>>718098081
dudes gonna die before releasing a half complete game let alone a mostly complete game

>>718098157
>once Gabe dies Steam will likely rapidly nosedive into the putrid abyss.
Dumb fucking Steamdrone. It already IS the abyss, retard.

>>718098419
And yet it's better than anything any other company has provided.
Therefore it is the only reasonable standard for 'good' that exists in the industry.
It will get worse.

>>718095161 (OP)
yeah, and the game is extremely shallow, if you aren't struggling to figure out what you're actually meant to do, you quickly hit the end of tech and the only thing left to do is click pixels for decoration or do "LORE HUNTING" which is the gayest shit ever because they spread 2 paragraphs between 10 different books, for no reason
not to mention all the shit that doesn't stack making the game annoying as fuck, it honestly sucks and it needs dozens of mods to even have a decent amount of 'content' that isn't just picking up gay books that could fit in any medieval setting
why the fuck am i reading romance, why is it separated into 8 different books
i swear this idiot is the most autistic piece of shit ever and has a small but vocal crowd sucking him off, takes years to update anything/add content

>>718097712
What color is this? (Taken from Steve's ear)
>>718098154
It doesn't have to look good. It has to be customizable.
>>718098237
>Pay extra for telemetry and GAS.
>...provides to it is costumers.

>>718098742
>It doesn't have to look good. It has to be customizable.
that would kill the game's artstyle.
just stick to minecraft if you want custom skins.

>>718095161 (OP)
>want to play vintage story and starsector but the devs refuse to release their games on steam
guess I'll just pirate them then :)

>>718098742
The cut that Valve takes only affects the developers because they don't allow smartass devs to charge Steam users more to circumvent the 30% cut, if the services Valve provides to devs isn't worth the 30% cut then access to the biggest PC userbase is well worth it.
>>718098991
At least Starsector devs still allow people to use Sseth's CD key.

>>718095161 (OP)
modded minecraft brainrot.
goes for muh detail and misses the entire point

>>718098905
>Man, that would kill the vibe, man...
It is ugly. The art style should be thrown into a volcano.
>Biggest PC userbase for 30% cut
Vintage Story devs said it isn't worth it. That alone makes me trust them. I want them to improve the game. I want them to stop making 100 shitty pre-made textures for what is effectively 3 different items and make things 100% customizable if that is their goal. More items like the chisel and fewer like the pies.

>>718098742
Steve is tanned, you need to go out and touch grass.

>>718099604
So you trust them because they're so greedy that they'd rather get 100% of the cut instead of 70% so they refuse to sell to millions of people? a bit of a lopsided logical conclusion but I do hope the game improves, it looks really fun already.

>>718099969
I trust them because they have a vision that doesn't include Steam. Steam is spyware and GAS. Vintage Story devs have shown that they value consumer rights over extra exposure.

What is that? Minecraft?

>>718100479
Every game should have their own website obviously but I wouldn't sing their laurels just because of that seen as if Valve really didn't care about their costumers and allowed developers to charge more on Steam then Anego would charge Steam users more in a heartbeat, that is not valuing consumer rights at all, that is pure greed and penny pinching.

>>718098157
What is this image supposed to convey? It connects with me because in my head I could never manage to carry a bowl of liquid to another surface without it always spilling over.

>>718095161 (OP)
the seraph got mutated while stuck in limbo or whatever after the awakening of the great machine but i'll admit, they do look a bit goofy at times. it's their eyes, they looked way better with their older face model

>All of the clothing and armor somehow looks shittier than Minecraft.
what? you must be delusional if you truly believe that right looks better than left

>>718098157
Eh, Robin Walker is most likely to take over and he seems fine.

>>718097798
You can sell your game at any price you want. You can't sell steam keys at lower prices.

>>718101103
>right vs left
I suppose I am more sensitive to minor clipping issues when the armor looks more realistic.
