Play Dirk The Adventurer please
https://madness-inside.itch.io/dirk-the-adventurer

>>725535381 (OP)
I'll play your game if and only if it's finished. I refuse to play demos or early access games but have a pity bump

>>725535748
Game can be finished though and currently there's 7 endings and multiple playthroughs are encouraged to level up your character to find new solutions. Game will probably be released in early access and then updated with new episodes anyway further down the line. Still it is in a pretty decent state and for adventure RPG enthusiasts it should be fun

The graphics are kind rought but I will give it a try only for you anon

>>725535381 (OP)
on the one hand you could use a more alliterative name, like Dirk the Daring
on the other hand Dirk the Daring is this chad motherfucker

>>725536187
Just you wait till you hear sfx (there's none)

>>725536420
I chose the name Dirk because I find it funny, threre are dialog options in the game that mock it in different ways. I learnt much later that there was another Dirk from this game >>725536420 and also that one holistic detective from Netflix show. Turns out other people also find it funny? It is much more popular name in the media than I initially thought.

>>725535381 (OP)
Why should I?

>>725537334
There's everything you'd want from a video game - you can decapitate goblins and romance women!

show gameplay

>>725535381 (OP)
i like these goblins
i hope someone makes porn of them

>>725537603
but anon i would rather decapitate women and romance goblins

>>725537603
can i romance the goblins?

>>725537807
I still need to make a new trailer that uses new sprites, animations, shows new areas and what not, but the general idea can be seen in old one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5uPykM1v1Q
>>725537947
>>725538207
Actually there's a subplot about goblins if you can find it

I appreciate the amiga-like graphics.
You could probably easily port it to Amiga and get more recognition in Amiga's scene.

>>725538439
>easily port it to Amiga
I'd love to do that, Amiga games always had a special place in my heart, especially Turrican, Traps & Treasures and Settlers, but I don't think I'd be able to convert my game for that system.
>>725538647
Sadly it's not possible yet but If I ever start a kickstarter to fund my game I'll prepare a stretch goal just for that. How's that sound like?

the graphics and ost are great! biggest issue is that every little action could be sped up to not feel like molasses. stair climbing, ledge climbing, crate pushing, being hit, all super slow like molasses.

>>725538924
I'm glad you like the video and audio! Also that's a valid criticism, I have to agree that crate pushing is very slow, climbing stairs and ladders could be sped up a little, but ledge climbing should stay the same. It's also available only when you have strength at certain level so in normal gameplay it should happen pretty late in the game or during the second playthrough.

>>725538907
>convert my game for that system.
Convert no, but you can rewrite it.

>>725539514
Let me give you a graphic example
>tfw to dumb too write amiga programs

>>725538647
Gimme decapitated goblin romances or I'm not playing!

>>725535381 (OP)
is the game woke?

windows said it was a virus and deleted it

>>725540515
There's that one smart-ass lady thief but other than that no, not really.
>>725540675
I know that windows is suspicious of unknown sources, as the game is still developed and has no vendor so it has no certificate but it's not a trojan.

>>725539943
Kek

>>725538647
>>725540427
You know what, have one on me.

>>725542385
Holy based!

>>725542385
damn son

>>725542385
Now I'm interested

>>725542385
Based

>>725535381 (OP)
i shan't because i played it last dd, but take my bump. the game is very charming

>>725542538
>>725543030
>>725543159
>>725543306
I'll have it in game as a hidden easter egg for my /v/ros
>>725543345
You actually should as there are two completely new levels that also serve as introduction to both MCs desires and lore. City siege is about combat and exploration and tavern stands as a counterpoint to action and is focused on puzzle-solving aspect. Previous versions were small adjustements, this one is huge compared to it.

>>725543646
well ok then i'll play it tonight after the nun game

>>725544283
Thanks, feedback is greatly appreciated. I should also use that opportunity to invite other anons to try other games from DemoDay!
https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-65/entries
We have Devil May Cry-like, Tencghu like, all sorts of games with anime girls, FPS, scrabble, top-down shooters and more! Even evocative Bokube, a game that is in development for about 10 years is present! Support your local anons, play their games for free and write what could be improved or changed, what you liked and disliked! No pressure though!

>>725535381 (OP)
So many spelling and grammar errors when trying to sell me on your game is a bad sign.

>>725546579
Some of them are stylistic choices (like the cook for example) but some errors could slip by and stay behind. Can you tell me about some painful examples that need correction?

>>725547491
Your phrasing and choice of vocabulary in general is very ESL. I think it has soul desu. The other anon is a fag

>>725535381 (OP)
You're about thirty years late to the shareware business OP, but it looks charming.

>>725545472
bokube is still going? holy shit

>>725549201
post you are game

>>725549315
He said he would release it in like 4 months he wont

woah hey, this game has goblins? have a bump!
I'll give it a go later, but I already gave you some feedback the other day about the full-width text boxes lol

>>725535381 (OP)
Sorry mang, but i post on /v/. Do you post on aygeedeegee here or on a markchan?

just downloaded it and it gave me a virus alert

>>725536420
You can never top Dirk the Daring.

>>725542385
Now this is pod racing.

Tried it. Only got as far as the next day at the pub with the woman. Not obvious how to use inventory. Tried sneaking. Tried traversing. Tried murder.

Biggest weakness are audio, and smoothness of movement. It's ambitious and you've got spunk OP.

>>725538647
Are you sure about the order there?

>>725550761
Can you tell me what kind of antivirus you're using and what type of virus it detects? Most of these throw false positives when the exe is without certificate.
>>725550565
yes
>>725550429
I have some goblins! You can beat them, scare them, confuse them, they can mock you, call you names, attack you and run away! I'm very fond of them! I'm considering changing the size of the textbox too.

>>725551770
>Can you tell me what kind of antivirus you're using and what type of virus it detects?
I have Chrome as web browser (it's the one complaining about the virus) and my antivirus is just Windows Defender. Is your game playable with gamepad? I could try it on my Steam Deck instead

>>725551759
Yes, there's a tutorial how to open up your inventory but it's in the underground next to a map, maybe hidden a little too well. I probably should put it somewhere in the open. You can open it with TAB key.

>>725551260
YOUR
GAME
IS
GARBAGE

stop trying to make this thread about you filthy pajeet

>>725551770
>beat them, scare them, confuse them, they can mock you, call you names, attack you and run away
hell yeah man sounds like you got some 10/10 goblins

>>725551993
I picked up a bottle. Opened up inventory, Wasn't able to equip the bottle or hand over gold or whatever.

>>725535381 (OP)
>>725536184
Where the FUCK is the YouTube video to say that the game has gotten that far? I'm not gonna follow accounts to keep track of that.

>>725535381 (OP)
>ledge grabbing
>being able to sit on low objects
Real fucking nice touches.

Love the art, characters, lots of neat mechanics, music is on point, movement/combat all feels a bit jank and rough around the edges but you've got something special for sure, keep at it mate.

>>725552059
>Mention how Dragon's Lair, one of the most influential and technically advanced - for its time- arcade games, is a superior experience to a Godot game that looks like it uses EGA graphics
>Attach a goofy picture of my own dragon to continue the irony of having inferior characters as stand-ins for the ones featured in the arcade game

>>725552059
relax
>>725552202
You can gather enough gold to hand it over or you can cause distraction to leave the tavern. Now that I think about it you can't access the door on the upper floor in the evening but there's no indication you CAN enter it in the morning...
>>725551979
I don't have it implemented yet. I have a friend with a steam deck though, I'll try to make it work soon.

>>725552529
you know what, I'll just give it a go there. I know the virus alert must be probably nothing but I'm a bit paranoid lol, so Steam Deck and Proton it is

>>725552446
>to a Godot game
what are you impying?

>>725552827
There's nothing wrong with being paranoid, but I'd hate to distribute viruses unknowingly and have my game associated with them too. There's always a risk of some exotic virus finding a way to your exe though, that's why I'm curious. WIndows Defender is pretty bad at it and throws false positives all the time.
>>725552432
Hell yeah, King's Quest! I'll never get to the art fidelity of that game. Fighting isn't a focus in the game, I want to have it at a reasonable level, so add parry and have couple types of weapons but I want to have non-lethal, adventure point 'n click-esque solutions to most tasks.
>>725552421
It's always a pleasant surprise when you find that by chance on your own though, right?

>>725535381 (OP)
Cmon now

launches without an issue in Proton 9.0. Sadly the menu doesn't recognize the clicks, most I can do is move the cursor around

>>725554378
ok nevermind, I made my own control settings and it seems like it works, neat!

>>725554226
No relation
>>725554378
>>725554570
Nice! Can you tell me what you had to do?

>>725535381 (OP)
Ok

>>725552529
>Now that I think about it you can't access the door on the upper floor in the evening but there's no indication you CAN enter it in the morning...
With no jump, I dind't see a way to get up there. My stats were all 1, and I figured, make charisma 2 and try to talk my way out.

>>725554926
>Nice! Can you tell me what you had to do?
sure! I just downloaded the game in desktop mode, unziped and included the .exe as an external Steam game. Then back on Steam mode, I put the game to run via ProtonGE (seems to also work with Proton 9.0), selected the Keyboard + Mouse control layout and made a modification so the button X is the Enter key.
My initial confusion came from not being able to click on the main menu options. Is that supposed to work? Or is the menu KB only?

>>725555140
Oh, yo ucan climb stairs by pressing up. You can also talk your way out but you need either charm on 3 or strength on 4 or at least 2 agility and 2 intellect but these options are for repeating that section with extra stats. I'm aiming to have underleveled MC forced to think extra hard for weird solutions but for NewGame+ have easier, stat related solutions.
>>725555604
I had mouse disabled for this build, it's not working very well yet but foolishly left that hand visible. It only confuses everyone at this point. I'm glad you could make it work!

Anybody knows what you have to do to free bard?

>>725557439
have yet to try the game lol. Will do it tonight, right now I'm busy

>>725536420
Dirk the dork maybe.

>>725554226
Janky kino
Also OP has potential

>>725536184
You already have typos at the first strength upgrade, anon.

>>725560214
It's possible to have 'Dirk The Dork' shown on title cards too.
>>725560913
You're right, sometimes you can just overlook the most basic things, I'll change it for the next version.

>>725554226
came here to post this

It was a good thread. I want to thank all anons that played the game and gave feedback, your words were very kind. Cheers and see you soon at the v3expo
