I heard this furshit is really good

development pace of a fucking half dead snail

>>725064378
what's its missing

>>725064464
well it basically just released a few months ago and the dev seems to work on many giga updates instead of continuous things. He already put out a finished game before though (Adaca) so i trust him
>what is missing
hard to answer, depends on what you value the most in stalker. In some ways it already has more stuff to do, side objectives and quests than the whole stalker trilogy. In some ways it feels half baked. you have to see it for yourself because some people find it super fleshed out and others find it way too barebones depending on how they play

its also sort of LUCK BASED at first, because the game doesnt instantly send you on a main quest nor tell you about what there is around, you need to fuck around and find out. Depending on what you choose to try, it may end up feeling like a barebones stalker or a bit of an autistic rabbit hole for the first 5~ hours

>>725065553
>work on many giga updates
work on individually few giga updates*
for clarification no major updates have arrived yet

>>725064464
>what's its missing
Mainly story content and some faction polish. The main game mechanics like faction reputation, looting, trading and survival is all there. It's like a very lightweight STALKER with furry undertones. I'm gonna wait for a full release before playing more, but got close to 30 hours of fun out of it so far.

>>725066139
>with furry undertones
how does this manifest
I expect lewds

>>725067000
the characters are some lizard people and theres a decent character creator
thats quite literally it

>>725063546 (OP)
Is that a lizard or a cat? The answer will decide if I'll play it

>>725063546 (OP)
it really is not, gets boring after a couple of hours

>>725067948
It's a down syndrome sergal made from about 10 polygons.

>>725063546 (OP)
I've played it but I'm more excited for Argentine STALKER instead. But to its credit it's the closest a game has ever gotten since Into the Radius, Chernobylite, Tunguska the Visitation or Misery. I just expect more depth to it's mechanics is all, seems pretty barebones at the same time whilst it gets plenty of things right, it's better than all other options currently so that's the best thing I can say about it. And for it not to be anthropomorphic for that matter too. I think that's the biggest mark against it. It might have some potential, but the gunplay actually needs to be a whole lot better. I expect a modern STALKER game should at least aim for Tarkov kind of gunplay or even closer to what Vostok is doing.

>>725068519
>but I'm more excited for Argentine STALKER instead.
tell me about it

>>725068579
Listen to the dev logs. The third video specifically showcases something that STALKER 2 couldn't figure out and maybe you should start with that one first if you don't care about the introduction and want to see what makes it stand out. There's also an alpha gameplay clip up.

The only thing not mentioned here in any specific detail was anomalies, but I believe it will have them known as paranormal events.

where

>>725069508
>The third video
It is literally an AI narration wtf lmao
you want me to take that seriously

>>725069683
It's auto dubbed, just switch it to its original Spanish language and turn on closed caption subtitles. Issue with a language barrier and most of the devs followers are from Latin America therefore he can't record every video in English and people complain about subtitles. Issue is with trying to speak to both audiences.

>>725067000
>furry undertones
it beats you over the head with devs gay furry communist views

>>725069553
>>725070281
Also in case it's not obvious in how to do that: Audio Track: Spanish US original
Subtitles > Auto translate > English
It's not exactly accurate but it's less annoying than the AI voice.

>>725063546 (OP)
It is. You should play it

>>725067948
Lizard.

>Abyss life
>The vodka hue version of vodka slav A life
Comfy. Hopefully they manage to make it look as good as slightly modded Analmeme and then I can't never play that overturned turd. If only it had CotZ questing.

>>725070641
How's this game? Finished enough to be playable?

>>725063546 (OP)
I have low-poly texture pack fatigue and gave up on playing any game that uses it cause it just looks like shit and been over-used in such a short time by so many EA indie games.

>>725072370
There's no ending yet, the layers loop, but it's diffidently playable.

Good enough for me, time to suffer. Thanks

is full version uploaded anywhere outside of patrecuckery?

decent stalker clone, but it isn't worth the current price

>>725074192
I don't think there's even a patreon page up for it.
Hard to believe, I know. Closest there is is a bandcamp page for the OST.

lol

That is demo build, yes, it is severely lacking
There is patrecuck build which is as "full version" as it gets for nw

>>725077925
it is literally on the page you have linked:

>>725078019
That is a virus.

Orsoniks doesn't have a patreon, you have to be stupid into thinking that they do.

Well I've died a few times already, just walking around not being able to see shit and bumbling into spikes and off cliffs. I did the tutorial but I feel like I'm missing some obvious way to get a light source or something at least, everything is so fucking dark I can never tell what's going on

>>725078583
that's part of the skillset
there are multiple different ways to get an early light source, managing and upgrading it is what you have to learn
glowfruits, lightbulbs, flashlights

They're all canonically herm.

>>725079736
proofs?

>>725079867
I guess i'm not that interested in the game anyway

>>725079968
It's also part of a joke. Since that means they can quite literally go fuck themselves.

>>725080652
That is not how hermaphrodites work, not like there is a cock you can shove in your vagina, it does not wok that way

>>725080826
lore in this game is a joke and dev is not exactly a good writer

>>725081041
I can see it

>>725064464
it's missing content. the last half of the current game is pretty empty, and once you figure out the gameplay cycle it gets stupidly easy. the first couple plays are really fun, though. it needs more scarce resources.

>>725063546 (OP)
>really good
I played the demo
AI is dogshit
Character designs are silly
Levels feel empty and placeholder, which might be the artstyle that requires more detailed environments to compensate for the lack of textures
It seems barely OK.

>>725072586
I can't play it after the second layer because of turrets and mines in the desert and I watched enough expies suffer and die alone in this god forsaken cave ;_;

>>725079867
I'm assuming the human corporation that created them deliberately designed them that way to make growing their numbers as easy and simple as possible. But this would also make it easy for them to reproduce outside of the corporation's control which seems like an oversight. (see: Gunsaw)

>>725080826
you need to give >>725079867 a quick read anon
here's the tl;dr:
>they're bioengineered to impregnate themselves. no I won't explain how, it just is ok?
>this totally is just me explaining why they're all the same sprite, no other reason
>also they have zero lust, please do not lewd the gunsawian :( they do not "fuck human males"

>>725078583
Well, I was hoping for something a lot more combat focused and a lot less crafting/scavenging focused. More noita and less terraria/starbound.
Maybe it will be more fun when it's more fleshed out and has some polish but it just doesn't seem like it's for me.

>>725068519
There is also Road to Vostok, but the AI are currently able to see you through foliage and will down you from 100 m without you seeing them

of course you do, shill

>>725082949
Yeah, shame I anted to cute interactions with some other members of my species

>>725082949
>I was hoping for something a lot more combat focused and a lot less crafting/scavenging focused
the game is literally called "scav prototype"
credit where credit's due, the medical system is very good and has more gameplay impact than in any other survival game i've played. nothing can be trivialized and there are always multiple ways to solve the afflictions you get, and it's all interlocked so you also have to have contingency plans as injuries are very rarely isolated.
fall which has broken your bone has also likely damaged your skin enough to make it susceptible to infection, so now you also have to keep your immunity level high by keeping yourself in a good state, as just eating something bad might make you sick and immunodeficient, not even taking baseline bandaging/disinfection into account, and there are many more factors to it.
it's a game for people who enjoy this specific kind of autism.

>>725083860
>Game is literally called "scav prototype"
I don't mind some scavenging - I enjoy stalker and similar games and there's scavenging and artifact hunting in them. But there's also combat, quests from npcs, exploration, etc. in equal measure. The ratio is way off in scav, at least in my time with it. I admittedly didn't get very far, but it felt a lot more like "2d project zomboid" than it did "2d stalker"

>Medical system is very good
I did like parts of the medical system. Pulling out shards of glass manually and the interactive bandaging were nice. The infection stuff is where it crosses over into annoying though. It's not interactive, it's just click to apply the disinfectant if you have it, if you don't then sucks to suck. It turns any damage into potentially lethal damage if you can't cure infection so it massively discourages any risk taking at all, it's always optimal to move at a glacial pace to make sure you don't fall too far or step on something you don't mean to, etc. Just sucks the fun out of the game for me. I don't have the required autism.

>what if noita but with complex and debilitating injury treatment system
kys furry retard

>>725086264
Why? What's so bad about noita with complex and debilitating injury treatment system?

>>725063546 (OP)
i put 60 hours into the demo, i enjoyed it a lot

>>725086561
its annoying and unfun to interact with
bumping into a spike then spending 30 seconds fingerfucking a menu before I can carry on is dogshit gameplay
already deleted your demo and won't touch this shit again

>>725064464
Content
As it is, it's a big wide open empty map with no interesting quests, it's all fetch the loot or shoot the item.

>>725088103
>my demo
Who do you think I am?

stoneshard and quasimorph suffered the same issue
"rewarding" the player who interacted with the content with layered menus to treat the results of interacting with content creates negative feedback loop and just causes players to seek the most cowardly path of least resistance since half the game is too annoying to deal with

Im sure some people out there like 'medical treatment minigame', but imo you can fuck off with that shit forever

One of the few games that would benefit GREATLY from turning all scalies into furries and adding "defeat" mods, wink wink

>>725088336
I think you're the dev shilling your dogshit injury fetish game. That's fine, but I think it sucks.

>>725067000
It manifests in the form of every character looking vaguely cute and having kissable snoots and grabbable tails (unless they're NFTA, their tails are circumcized and only have a nub)

The game has its own original setting, it's not just earth but scaly. I hope the dev adds more books to flesh out the distant lands

Give it to me straight, how sexual is this?

what animals can you be?

>>725089812
Just the lizards
with the right settings tho, they could look like a mouse too

>>725088527
I'm the one whos been saying the game isn't for me. I'd enjoy noita with injury system autism, but survival crafting shit on top of injury autism is a boring slog. Survival crafting with anything is a slog.
Besides, if I was the dev they'd all have HUGE DICKS FLOPPING AROUND EVERYWHERE

>>725089379
0% sexual. Some of the player skins have no underwear, but it's just featureless barbie doll anatomy underneath. Every npc is clothed at all times

The dev really kneecapped himself with the furfaggtory eh? might open a few furfag eyes that they're still the odd ones out. They can only ever get away with it in their mascot platformers.
