Thread 720267309

Why did this game sell over 100,000 copies? Is the bar really that low?
I don't even think it's a bad game or anything it just seems strange. Was the team well known before this? Did they have some kind of aggressive marketing strategy?

I dont know I refunded it

The "aggressive marketing strategy" is called the female form. It is enough to lull filthy goy cattle into doing literally anything.
Just look at gacha.

it's fun

I’d pay good money for Hollow Knight sized Pseudoregalia game, man.

>>720267309 (OP)
It was fun and cheep. I think I got it for around four dollars.
I don't even like Sybil as furbait, I gave her pants the moment I figured out how. I just think it's a solid budget game with good mechanics and a cool style.

Really fun gameplay coupled with an interesting artstyle with added flavor of coomerbait on top. The only thing stopping it from being an all time great was how short it was

>>720268039
>[WORD]slop
Just say you don't like the aesthetic but otherwise don't have valid criticism, faglord.

the dev used to hang out on coney's stream a lot, he was a cool guy but spent most of his time drawing babes. I think he went semi-viral for a redesign of Xana from Icons: Combat Arena but he was still a small fry at the time. I'm glad he finally Made It.

A lot of games do good just based off protag design. And fail by it too.

I thought it was a one-man project. But yeah, there's 3 reasons why this sold and 2 of them are good. Let's get the shit one out of the way - thicc cat bunny goat girl unf unf, you know how it goes. The first good reason is that it's cheap as fuck at $6 without a discount. That's pretty good for an indie. The second reason is because the movement feels like it was designed by someone who obsessively worships 3D Mario, and then brought that into a 3D Metroidvania design. It's been a couple years since this came out and 3D Metroidvanias still aren't particularly common, though we did just get another one in Metro Gravity I guess. But yeah, great movement in a slightly unusual concept at a low price. Mystery solved.

>>720268039
alright

I don't usually buy games like this that appeals to furries. But I really liked Sybil's character design and the N64 aesthetics and that's why I bought a copy.

are there any other games like pseudoregalia? i need more 3d platformers with god tier movement and that also happen to be metroidvanias

>>720267309 (OP)
>3D plateformer with a GOOD and INNOVATIVE moveset
>Metroidvania level design
Yes. I can't think of another 3D plateformer this good recently.

Aside from the smokin furry babe, it's the only other 3d platformer I've truly enjoyed that isn't Mario. The bar is really that low. Every other 3d indieshit platformer is plagued with slow movement and only basic boring abilities like mid-air jump. It's like everyone is allergic to fun. The Big Catch had a demo that showed promise. We'll see how that turns out.

So yeah, GOOD 3D platformers are actually really scarce. There was a time when it seemed they were making a comeback but I couldn't give a rats ass about games like Crash, Spyro, Yooka Laylee, and A Hat in Time. Those games are garbage to me.

>>720267309 (OP)

I know we all want to fuck the jackal but this game was really good. I wish it was longer.

Sybil is the epitome of why gooners have no taste.

She's a mediocre design but because she has an ass/thighs/leotard people ignore that and just fap to it. It's a typical Twitter OC, all curves no soul. You people are plebians.

so what happens to the "picture unrelated I'm atlking about hollow knight" copypasta now, is there a silksong version yet?

I got it in a humble bundle. It's easy to "sell" that much if you are giving it away in a bundle.

>>720267309 (OP)
People are really dumb and this game shows that. Want to know the diff between the FREE game jam ver and the Steam ver? Like a single room being designed slightly differently and the shitty final boss. Anyone who pay for it literally could had gotten the same game for free. To give the dev credit though they did add a map I believe after a bit but I think that wouldn't make up for them selling an already free game. An added optional area to test your skills maybe be too much to ask for?

>>720267309 (OP)

Pseudo Regalia was a great proof of concept. Also sexo bottomless goat rabbit girl.

The popular reputation of Pseudoregalia is hilarious to me because, like, in terms of its mechanics, and in particular in terms of its understanding of the relationship between progression and movement tech, it's basically "what if Super Mario 64 was a metroidvania?", which is something that a very large audience has been demanding for decades, to the extent that it's actually kind of weird that Pseudoregalia is the first notable title to do a really good job of tackling that particular premise – yet to the broader community who aren't in tune with trends in game design it's "obviously" just a game that got popular because because you spend the whole time staring at a stacked furry's bare ass, and not one single person who's into the game is interested in disputing this impression.

>"retro aesthetic"
>it needs a last gen GPU to run properly
YAWN
Wake me up when someone makes something truly retro and not just unity slop with a blocky art style

>>720281859
It's made in UE5, actually.

>>720267309 (OP)
I ignored this for ages because i thought a bunch of coomers were pushing it but having played it, it probably has the best movement of any 3d platformer. The world is a little unresolved (post rationalised with plot) but the aesthetics are decent enough. Ritzler needs to make more shit, the slime girl game i didn't like, the manta ray girl game was decent but the movement was more limited than Pseudoregalia

WOW!
Nice gotcha you got there, furgger

>>720282149
NTA but requiring a GTX 960 or whatever it was for THIS primitive visuals is a red flag. It doesn't give me much hope that the game will run good with better hardware.

>>720281752
I'd have bought it if it wasn't furry.
I recognize I am in the minority here but I'd kill for a modelswap - fur and muzzles are hard bonerkill.

>>720282150
I am merely stating facts. The bloated hardware requirements come purely from the engine, however I ran it without any problems on a 1070 back on release.

>>720282256
Ackshually, its a GTX 1660

It's really just /v/iral marketing spam and the game being so cheap so it turns into a "eh ok I give it a try".
Sadly it's rather unpolished and the leveldesign is bad at not letting you go down a path for 10-20 minutes before discovering that you are not supposed to be here yet and get walled at the last second.
>b-but it's a metroidvania, you HAVE to backtrack!
For optional collectibles yes but being allowed to go so deep down paths without the new move ever being used before the last jump justs creams bad map design that doesn't even make real use of the skillset you acquire. Half the skillset is wasted on shitty battle moves which is the games worst aspect by far that is just as shallow and bad as all the shitty 6th gen "3d platformers" that tack on shallow action combat or fucking guns.
The longjump however is one of the best feeling I have ever witnessed and most other platforming skills feel good enough. Walljump is a bit weird but is workable.
Overall the game feels just unfinished. Dev could have made so much more use of the maps and skillsets and really test the player and themself but instead just slapped some trials on which feel more like a pathing problem than any skill required really.
Webm related me reaching all this way, activating 1 of the 2 switches and getting the key only to then having to kill myself because there is no way back since I did not have the dedicated "Hit those switches far away" skill yet. Bottom tier level design to allow this to happen.

>>720282656
That's really bad then. If the minimum requirements for this game were something like, I dunno, A GTX 660 or 745 then your initial statement about poorfags would be perfectly valid, but a GTX 1660 for literal N64 visuals is terrible.

>>720282814
>Overall the game feels just unfinished.
Of course it is. Dev is a coomer subhuman from twitter. Those types never finish anything.

>>720267439

>>720282904
Hey it's still in a state where you can play through it. That is more than most patreonbaits manage.

>>720282256
>>720282852
What pisses me of isn't even the requirements since I have a pc with a RX 7700 XT and a steam 'eck
No, what bothers me is that the game doesn't even fucking look like a N64 game yet market itself as retro
Its a bad trend I keep looking creeping out, shitty visuals marketed as "retro"
You know, it makes me think of that game Hrot that actually looks like an old shooter and I think the dev even made an engine for it that my old shitty laptop that I write erotica for patreon on can run. We need more of that dedication and not furry gooner devs like >>720282904 mentions

>>720282814
I'm convinced you can sell any indie game to a six figure degree so long as you spam it on /v/ and have a mildly ok at best character design. Anons seem to think anything with a daily thread means the game is popular and therefore warrants discussion, when the reality is a lot of daily threads are made by solo fans or even the devs themselves.

>>720267309 (OP)
If you think that's bad, you should see how much Silksong sold. Zoomers love their garbage.

>>720284118
I can actually believe this shit has many spammers since the furry gooner bait attracts a lot of trannies >>720284616 just look at this shit

For me it's the opposite. Hollow Knight (and Silk) are too long. It's just boring walking screens and closing eyes or watching 2nd monitor.

You people are all retarded.

Psuedoregalia was made as a part of a Game Jam. It was literally made in 3 weeks. If it feels shallow, its because it fucking is, the dude threw it together at breakneck speed.

It was made in a day in Game Maker, and basically you're fucking retarded

Do I really need to post the amount of cases of trannies grooming kids on there?

The playerbase begged the dev to have an option to put pants on Sybil because they couldn't stop fapping to play the game.

I did give it a try and found the combat to be annoying. The movement tech and controls were pretty good though.

You might be surprised by this anon but a lot of games you’ve never heard of have sold at least 100k copies. You underestimate how many autists use Steam as retail therapy. Pic related sold 140,000 copies in its first two years after release and you’ve never heard of it.

Yes, that's all it takes.

>>720281752
The game is good and cheap so anyone who actually wanted to play it did. Combine this with zero new content and no level editor and the fans have little else to talk about that hasn't been said already. This leaves porn for people that haven't ever played it, or for people that did and just want an excuse to bring up how good the game is again.
Basically what I'm saying is even a basic ass barebones level creator would save this game and entire community.

Whens part 2? Short fun games like this that can be beat in 1 sitting are the best

>>720292662
right after the dev finishes the 4 other games he's working on (read: never)

>>720292662
Dev has extreme ADHD, pseudo only got finished because it won the game jam it was made for. Otherwise it would have been canned too.
You'll get a vaguely similar platformer in the next 5 years, maybe,

>>720292536
God, a level creator would be so cool

>>720267894
I'm currently making a 3D platformer, and I can only hope and pray to have a fraction of the same depth of gameplay. The movement options in this game are insane.

The same reason why Silksong had over 500,000 simultaneous players.

>>720292662
Dev is a fuckwit and won't ever add to it.

>>720279949
The actual answer is that in a game with limited space, such as the 16MB Mario 64, the size of your maps has to be limited. When doing that, the easiest way to get the most bang for your buck is to layer maps, essentially. When you do this, the best way to do it is to connect them with a small, quick and meaningless Platform challenge, but even that requires room to run around in. Adding a pole that you just climb up and then, bam, you're in another section of the level takes up the smallest room as well as it's super easy to plan and implement in your game. Is it lazy? Sure, I don't think anyone will argue against that, but Mario 64 did it. Then everything copied Mario 64, and now it's just a staple that is so ingrained with the genre that everyone agrees that this is part of the whole, without asking "why" anymore.

>>720267894
wow, so this is like a 3D silk-like? Nice.

Fast upgrade centric platformer where skill level let's you skip things. It makes for great rando runs since they usually only run a bit over an hour so I don't need to dedicate my whole night to a game if I just want something to shmove in. That said I put off getting the game for months because the main character made me think it was gonna be coomer crap.

>>720297040
Mario 64 didn't have that many poles to climb, and there are only one or two cases where it was actually used for separating a level into layers. Bowser in the Fire Sea being the most notable.
They put the mechanic in because they thought lining yourself up to jump off of the pole was an interesting challenge. That's why there's that whole sequence in Jolly Roger Bay that has you doing it on moving poles. Obviously, that wasn't put in to save space.

>>720279949
CoD unironically solved it by turning all rope climbs into a vertical zipline

>>720297427
Actually, now that I think ab out it, Sonic Adventure 2 did the same thing, Is this the ultimate form of what the "pole" concept should turn into? Just a thing that quickly pulls you upward?

Unless he comes up with another game idea while working on the Goblin game and starts working on that, and then comes up with another game idea while working...

>>720297427
It sounds solved but ropes have the potential of horizontal boosted jumps in any direction if you grab them from a running start. You could even do something similiar with poles, grabbing them at high speed makes you spin in place and you can launch horizontally from that. It's all manual and movement physics based, no automation.

It’s good to the point I’m really angry the dev is wasting his time with other projects.

I can’t even replay it because of this. What a waste of potential.

Thank you furry coomers, pls keep the game alive until custom lobbies are implemented and I can go singleplayer forever.

Just keep buying those overpriced bikinis and soon we'll both be able to go our separate ways.
