>What the heck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as A Hat in Time, Animal Well, Baba Is You, Balatro, Battle Brothers, Cave Story, Celeste, CrossCode, Cultist Simulator, Darkest Dungeon, Darkwood, Dead Cells, Disco Elysium, Environmental Station Alpha, FTL, Hades, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hotline Miami, LISA, Lobotomy Corp, Loop Hero, Machinarium, Monster Train, Noita, Nuclear Throne, OFF, OneShot, Rain World, Shovel Knight, Slay the Spire, Starsector, Subnautica, Sunless Skies, The Witness, Void Stranger, etc., as well as other games that just don't fit in any other general such as Atelier, Pillars of Eternity, and Valkyria Chronicles. /jrpg/ is welcome. Idle, roguelite, shmup, 4x / RTS / city-builders, and RPGMaker games are cool too.

Mobile or consoles, Flash or Unity, freeware or early access. This place is a home for the indie game community and indie and obscure games that don't have a home. So be free to talk and share all your hidden gems, forgotten games and starving devs here.

>Can I talk about games that already have a general?
We mostly discuss games that are not popular enough for their own threads, however, all indie games are allowed. So talk about them if you want, but don't overdo it since you already have other generals for that.

>Pillars of Eternity
What's that one? Name is vaguely familiar.

>>537197516 (OP)
Just a 5 and a half days left.

I suddenly remembered that Deathtrap Dungeon was a game that existed.
I don't suppose any of you blokes got a modern game that has the same vibe, but with better controls and less "die and retry" bullshit?

WHERE ARE THE TESLA COILS

Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.

>>537207565
If you're wondering where to find these mats, id recommend checkout the containment area, like you recall how Cahn or whatever is name is told you to unlock the doors? His wasnt the only one that got unlocked.

>>537211898
More like I'm confused at what "digital gold" is. But yeah, they improved the PDA, now it shows exactly what ressources to get from each world.

I'm trying to enjoy AI War 2, but god damn the AI is, ironically, really fucking stupid. Weak ships are more than happy to dive out of the forcefield bubble and get instantly vaporized, but if I enable stop-to-shoot, they'll stop before they're even in range and just sit there doing nothing while getting pummeled.

Temporary. Long term, a few more people visiting the thread, liking what they see, and deciding to come back would be a good thing.

>>537238480
nta but i enjoy playing very very few games. ive probably spent 10x hours watching other people play games as i do actually playing them. blue prince was the same way for me. it looked super interesting so i tried it but immediately bounced off and just watched nl vods instead.

god, i am in a thread where people don't actually play games, aren't i?

>>537205748
That's a nice base location, I've considered building there too

>In the mood for survivalcraft slop
>find one that looks decent
>reviews: mixed
Fuck it, I might just buy No Man's Sky, if this goes on...then again considering Silksong is next week maybe it's just a waste of money either way

>>537243516
Depends on the day. I feel people do play games more often than not, but there are a few characters I can think of, who you can easily trigger into schizo posting for a bit. Though some of it is at least game related

>>537243698
Try Empyrion before No Man's Sky if you haven't yet.

>>537243885
Interesting, I'll consider it.
Thing is I'm just not a fan of procedural generation in these types of games. I'd take a single solar system game with lots of handcrafted content plus some procedural filler that would probably be necessary to make it work over a million billion planets any day.
It's fine for games like factorio or Vintage Story, where the goal is less on exploration and more on building your base at least for me. But when watching someone play Starfield for example I couldn't help but notice how none of the places felt "real".
Case in point Satisfactory has a handcrafted world but I honestly couldn't care less, since exploration isn't the goal of that game.

>>537244206
Empyrion (especially modded) has a shit ton of handcrafted POIs to raid and explore on different planets, unlike NMS where literally every planet has the same POIs and every planet feels samey due to no meaningful gameplay mechanics and limitations.
Empyrion is also pretty big on basebuilding, since you build vessels out of lego blocks including your capital ship that's your primary home and does everything. In a sense basebuilding is far more important than in MC/VS. In those games a dirt hovel is sufficient and the rest is just aesthetics without function.

>>537244206
Maybe try the Minecraft modpack Blightfall? Exploration and base building in equal measure, on a handcrafted world.

>>537215292
Haaa, now I remember... Isn't it the one where you take over a fortress? It sounded really fun until I learned that gold was a finite ressource.

>>537242478
Good man. Tesla coils are awesome.

>>537238480
Some games I enjoy playing, some games I enjoy watching. Mostly I like playing strategy as there's lots of nuance and room for me to do things my way and still win, but I dislike playing puzzles because there's just one correct way to win and the rest are wrong.

>>537254886

>>537243516
I play games sometimes.

>>537254886
I get you. I love tactical games, but I'm atrocious at them.

>>537255364
I've sort of half considered Opus Magnum for a while now, but it's still not really open ended enough for me and there's still too much of a 'correct solution' to it for my liking.
If you put it in front of me and I had literally nothing else to do I'd play it, but I don't think I'd ever get around to it naturally.

>Its over a 100$ with taxes and dlc on launch

Shit must be like 200 gb or someshit too. Will wait a while and pirate.

As an unrelated sidenote, im kind of shocked how good vintage story is, like superficially its a minecraft clone but the mechanics within and their interactions were a breath of fresh air, the prospecting reminded me of the good ol days back when I learned how to do triangulation on a map and the depths of thing was surprising, liked how you have to do multiple things to unlock metal forging, every new addition to your base feel like an actual upgrade or improvement.

persona 5 at 24€ eheh oh oh I'm not paying for that trash

>>537264476
It's been almost 10 years, how about persona 6

>>537264476
Why don't you want to play it?

>>537264787
playing isn't buying

>>537265607
Why don't you want to pay for it, other than being jewish?

>>537265903
that's a lot of money for a 10 year old game made by atlus

>>537266202
It's the fairly recent PC port, and the expanded version with all DLC and optional extras you'd have had to pay for on console at that.

>>537264787
What is Persona even about? All I know is that it has been running for a long time, peoples shoot themselves all the time for some reason and you fight oc donut steel version of mythological beings, both from real life religion and fictional literary verse.

>>537270905
its an anthology like final fantasy where each game does its own thing, shooting yourself only happens in P3.
but generally yeah its about living a double life as a regular guy who goes to school but also has to fight demons using his persona, a manifestation of your psyche which is based on mythos and fiction. its half "slice of life sim visual novel" and half "JRPG where you kill god"

I have 600 hours almost in my summer car and my god no other driving game has felt this good

>>537270905
>What is Persona even about?
JRPG set in modern times, typically you're acting as a hidden force for good using "personas", aka literally summoning manifestations of your personality and spirit represented as mythological creatures and figures, and a giant cock riding a chariot, in order to fight some evil force that usually winds up in you fighting god or something by the end of it. Technically anybody can awaken their persona and fight but most don't.

Shooting yourself is only in the 3rd game and it's not *actually* shooting yourself that's just how they summon their persona there.

It's really fun. Only played P3, P4 and P5, but the improvement between them is noticeable, P5 especially is really fucking good.

>>537266434
fair enough

gonna need an indie bump, bros

>>537270905
It's a game where you play as a teenager and at night you go do teenager stuff like shooting yourself, jumping in TVs or armed robbery. But it's ok because you're the hero. Also you're friend with igor from frankenstein and you use stands like a jojo character except they're demon except they're not they're actually the idea of demons in the collective unconsciousness except some are not demons they're just fictional characters. Also the butterflies are watching...

>>537298630
That's not an inaccurate description, technically.

>>537286668
This game seems like a cross between Noita and Soldat, with some minor rpg elements to it?

>>537297081
bump

Damn, I've been sick for the past few days and spent most of my time in bed, on my Phone or in front of my PC.
My reward chemical levels are absolutely fucked, I have all this free time but none of the games I boot up fulfill me and I don't even really have the urge to buy/pirate a new one to try though maybe that's just because I know I'll drop it as soon as Silksong comes out
I've had this before so I know it will stabilize, but fuck me this sucks.

Boy I sure hope my modded VS save won't blow up when migrating to 1.21. I will never get a seed this good again.

>>537319212
What seed

>>537319212
>I will never get a seed this good again
RIP my seed I had to leave behind because it was from a a version old enough where the world generation had become really funky at the edges between old and new chunks.
I had more Terra Preta than I knew what to do with. I almost paved over a huge patch without noticing, when building my house.
Not to mention the surface limestone layer not very far away.
Good times

>>537309315
no, it's more of a soldat but tactical and with a lot more physics
ttks are very low and it's easy to die in open areas, so you have to use everything for your advantage, while weapons have recoil patterns based on how they actually push the gun hitbox in your hands
the only real progression is unlocking additional characters by swapping into them mid-level

>>537337341
Funny how you can satiate thirst with salty fries, while chips from vending machine make you more thirsty.

Balance, making sure it lives up to its predecessor.

you can't balance a game like that in house. you can only balance it after you ship it and let thousands of people throw every combination of card and relic up against every possible encounter and just watching what happens.

Is there a way to download workshop mods in this day and age?

Workshop downloader fails for most (all?) games due to steamworks API being a nigger.
Smods apparently no longer works, the AWS instance hosting the files just returns a no key error.

>>537367448
Workshop downloader works for me, it's just hit or miss because anonymous downloads are a per-game basis and the devs have to opt in to it. Smods is also working fine. Checked them both as I was typing this.
Sounds like you're just having a skill issue.

Alright, what one of you mentioned Space Station 14 (& 13) last thread? I recently picked it up too and holy shit, I can't stop playing it, don't have any good clips to share though. Unique in a crazy good way, rounds can be insanely tense, insanely funny, or very memorable in other ways. Theres so much stuff that can go wrong that makes it exciting.

What I like about the game is that it's gatekept not by it's players, but by it's mechanics. Have never, ever played a game like this, I've been relentlessly watching tutorial videos, testing out stuff in a SP server, and reading the wiki. There's not a learning curve, there's a learning cliff face, seems to filter out most of the tards. You really, REALLY gotta study up on the games mechanics and systems

Though there's still the they/them crazies and SJW babies to content with, it's not in your face, if you're not some stunted /pol/ack you should be able to ignore it. Plus, the main devs don't seem to be fans of ERP so those degenerates get weeded out. Though I'm hesitant to recommend it because of the sheer scale of learning the game, still very enjoyable.

Watered down, oversimplified job simulator at that
You don't have:
>proper intents that are replaced by shitty combat mode that completely destroyed the depth of unarmed fights (combat-focused servers used to have 4 intents + 4 combat stances + blocks/dodge switch + character specific combat abilities)
>watered down engineering that barely has any real consequences if you fuck it up. servers used to have 3-4 different power generation methods, that could always be assembled from the ground up, heavily modified and sometimes even combined (e.g. SM to TEG gas exchange) with a complex wiring system (32 individual states in which every piece of wire could be, with multiple wires per tile)
>non-existent station lethals for sec that completely kill any kind of suspense of doing crime because you know that shitsecs literally can't kill you lol
>bay virology (5 stage viruses with dozens of different effects that require specific actions and knowledge in order to create lethal or helpful infections) or tg botanics (growing intelligent trees that are controlled by other players as your servants or selecting a fruit that instantly stops your heart if consumed). if you have those - they're extremely oversimplified and nerfed to disallow fun
>extremely boring sci that doesn't actually require you to acquire any rare materials for research, do actual experiments or disassembling alien technology. it's just an idle game that makes numbers go up
>maxcaps nerfed and designed specifically in a way to make them impossible to make without notifying admins
>no integrated circuits that allowed you to create absolutely insane shit like fully automated drones with custom logic, simple computers or smart bombs
>simplified cloning and medicine that makes bringing players back extremely easy and not resource intensive, further diminishing the risks of permanently leaving the round
>all races are now practically reskinned humans with almost no special traits

I might be retarded.
I regularly feel the urge to play an ARPG to grind for shiny loot and see number go up, but every time I do, I lose interest immediately and think that maybe ARPG just isn't my genre

Try incremental/idle games

Man, I would love to start a forever world in Vintage story where I can dedicate my time to stupid megaprojects and stuff. But the fact that any update that changes the worldgen could fuck me over makes me a little anxious about that.

>>537374578
I've wanted to try a playthrough with much harder settings and longer months, but the game balance just doesn't seem to be made for it. I imagine that I'd get to steel super fast and then wait for absolute ages for the first winter with the best gear and then get bored. I could set durability lower, increase food requirements, fuck with spoilage time, and more, but I feel like it would just increase tedium rather than meaningfully make the game harder. I've never had the creativity or drive in any game to make a "nice" looking base or build things just for the sake of building them. I'd always use cheesy tactics and bare-minimum effort almost every way. Am I supposed to pretend I don't know the best way to do things and purposefully gimp myself, to make up arbitrary checklists of things I need to do before I am allowed to progress?
How the hell do you guys play games like vintage story or even minecraft and decide to keep playing long after you've gotten the best gear, a functional base, etc?

>>537375209
Yeah, I'm sad how fast you can progress after your first playthrough, once you know what you're doing.
On my current world I've decided to stick at least a year with each "tech level" so I won't bother with copper until at least next in-game spring, so I can focus on agriculture and maybe build a mound as a megastructure for fun.
Also I want to migrate every time I get enough new tech, just because I hate tearing down old builds but also don't want my bronze age mudhut next to my medieval cottage.
>with much harder settings and longer months
maybe just settle in harsher climates if you want a challenge?
>make up arbitrary checklists of things I need to do before I am allowed to progress?
>How the hell do you guys play games like vintage story or even minecraft and decide to keep playing long after you've gotten the best gear, a functional base, etc?
I mean it is a mindset thing I think. I totally get if that's not your thing, but I derive a lot of fun from making nice looking and time period appropriate bases and sacrifice functionality for aesthetics.
Though I'm glad about how VS at least has more incentive to build stuff over MC. Like in Minecraft at least when I played in Beta 1.7 you could get a functional base in a 3x3 square plus any room you need for storage. Everyhting beyond that was just you being creative for shits and giggles.
But in VS if you build a blacksmithy, it has an actual purpose, since all the crafting stations, molds etc do take up space so it does make sense to build an extra room or building for that.

Is there a good arpg/roguelike? I used to do "ironman"s all the time in Diablo 2 before I knew what a roguelike was, before the concept existed. A game that had that kind of gameplay loop would be crazy if done well.

>>537270905
Shing megame tensei, as far as I know, was a series of games about demons and gods in eire dystopian urban scenarios where they have became common place.

Then, someone had the brillant idea of a making a jrpg about teens going on adventures in everyday urban scenarios to appeal to kids, they adapted the SMT lore to it, gave superpowers to the teenager characthers and slapped pop songs all over it.

Many of the supernatural demons based on mythos from SMT, now are materializations of some characther personality that can be summoned by the teens like stands in Jojo bizarre adventure.

To be honest copper should be a priority just because of the access to pickaxes, also mining is a good way to pass time during winter because you dont freeze to death in caverns or underground due to higher ambient temperature, and even simple copper armor is better than nothing if you try to hunt bigger animals like bears or mooses. It just unlock so much stuff that are just a straight up improvement. Aint for no reason copper forging took off so quickly during the early bronze age.

>>537394930
Of course of course. But it's a bit of a self imposed challenge type thing.
I just found out that my save is soft-fucked by the new update anyways. So it looks like I might be restarting anyways.
Everything seems to be perfectly fine, it's just that it's a little obvious which parts where generated before and after the update and it looks kinda ass.
I could mess around with pruning some chunks to try and fix it but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

>>537405494
Also don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort the devs put into smoothing out transitions like this, instead of it just being a hard cut-off or the update just breaking your save, but there's only so much they can do

>>537323280
>>537323506
Yeah, Legends still has its servers and it's still a pretty decent game: More a tps sort of MMO than the old TSW "wait for cooldowns" WoW fare. If you have one or two buddies to co-op it up with I'd even say playing through the campaign and zones are a splendid use of your time.

>what one of you mentioned Space Station 14 (& 13) last thread?
That was me, assuming you're playing 14 given you mentioned the devs dislike ERP. You're very right about the game having a crazy learning curve too, I've played it for awhile now and I still have yet to try medical as all the chemicals and dosages make me freeze up. Security is nothing compared to med despite what people say, convinced most people who play medical are actual doctors or chemists lol.

If you're just coming to master the games mechanics and systems, I'd recommend trying engineering, or security, or both. Sec is more RP focused but you gotta be half decent at combat and can't be some guns blazing tool that gets the whole department labeled as shitsec, and engi is fairly complex top but not as bad as medical, gotta keep track of the power and specific wires and the atmosphere if you take that role.

have I managed to avoid the Zote encounter in Deepnest? if I continue to Kingdom's Edge, will he show up in the Colosseum?

>>537411838
Well, then perfect time to restart with a shitload of mods.
Like the one with the colored tiles and wine and grapes.

>>537417426
Ironically it isn't, lel. Since the new patch came out just a few days ago so all the mods still need to update.
But I'm keeping my eyes peeled for when the expanded foods mod updates and will probably start a new run then
>wine and grapes
Isn't that in the base game, or am I misremembering?

>>537417798
Unless it came out in a official patch in the last 1-2 years. No, there's only "X-berry" wine. Not proper grapes wine.

>Since the new patch came out just a few days ago so all the mods still need to update.
Anything worth replaying? I got kinda burned out due to prospecting for borax and lime last time.
I swear the weakest part of the game is prospecting. Hated it in TFC hate it here.

>>537418404
Depending on when you played last. You can now build a sailboat and also tame deer, so I'm looking forward to using those to migrate long distances over the course of my playthrough

>>537419091
>and also tame deer
You still need to do retarded things to tame animals?
I still remember trying to fence in chickens, only to have them despawn 3 generations in. Made me rage pretty good

>>537419495

Apparently you can trap it in a box.
Honestly that's my biggest issue with animal husbandry, that you can't capture or lure them and it's just a huge pain in the ass to get them to your enclosure
>only to have them despawn 3 generations in

>survivalcraft slop
List of recently played survivalcraft slop that I played and is very good to okay:
>Icarus
Retarded setting, but charming. Addictive gameplay loop, both in roguelite and persistent world modes. Reminder that only 3 DLCs offer actual game content and the other DLCs are just decoration.
>7DTD
They turned it into some kind of roguelite mission based looting minigame, kinda meh and crafting recipes are a pain until you dump some hours into the game.
>Len's Island
Looks good on paper, kinda meh and uninspired gameplay loop and settings.
>Force of Nature 1 and 2
Very addictive gameplay loop, 2 maybe be longer than 1 and grinding in turned to eleven. But lots of QoL stuff and nice setting.
>Nightingale
Very nice setting. Okay gameplay loop carried by its art and design.
>Valheim
Don't understand the hype. Gameplay loop is very gated, building is meh and graphics are doodoo. Still enjoyable though.

>>537420209
Does the box work with chickens and pigs? If so hype if not shit. I can't be fucking asked to fence in chickens again.

>>537421421
>Does the box work with chickens and pigs?
We've had basket traps since two updates ago for small animals including piglets. The box was added for the big ones.

Am I allowed here?

>>537421421
>Icarus
>Retarded setting
Yeah that's what's been putting me off for the longest time, but maybe I'll finally bite. I just always thought it's a "your ship has crashed" type game and that's where the high to low-tech blend comes from. Was a bit disappointed to find out it's because you can't afford more high tech
>Nightingale
hehe, that's the on I was referencing in my original post. I've been vaguely interested in it since the first trailer, just not sure if it's worth my time and the mixed reviews aren't exactly encouraging.
>Valheim
Never quite clicked with me and also I'm the guy who constantly posts about not liking procedurally generated worlds in these types of games so that's been blocking me from playing that game too. I even got Enshrouded thinking it's similar enough to Valheim but with a handcrafted map, but that game has all sorts of issues to be honest.
>graphics are doodoo
I disagree on this though

Never heard of the other ones, I'll take a look

The mobile port made the wise decision of giving her a perpetual angry bitch face that matches her voice and attitude

>>537425880
>mobile port
how bad is it?

>>537425124
No.

>>537420337
Did the water update they released give the game some depth? Most common critique I hear about Enshrouded is it's lack of depth

>>537425518
>Yeah that's what's been putting me off for the longest time, but maybe I'll finally bite.
Out of all the ones I recommended, I have more hours played in Icarus and Force of Nature 2. The maps are beautiful and handcrafted in Icarus, no procedurally generated.
I really really recommend Icarus if you like open world survival slop.

>I'm the guy who constantly posts about not liking procedurally generated worlds in these types of games
This genre practically gives itself to procgen worlds.

Also some more I played but earlier this year.

>Raft
You WILL get tired of fishing for resources. If you can stomach that it is a novel twist to the survival genre. Hope you like the sea.
>Forever Skies
It lags as fuck for some reason. Didn't finished it. Very few POIs so they are recycled a lot. Kinda meh. But the idea was good, maybe future updates makes it not lag as fuck.
>Nova Lands
Is survivalcraft enough to warrant a play. It is small and cute with a rather grindy mid to late game. Worth a pirate.

Post any other open world survival craft slop and we will see if I played it, and if not is always nice to add more of these games to my endless backlog.

>>537426141
A lot of the difficulty removed due the need to streamline the experience, you can still do things out of order but with less freedom than on PC, alot of Disco Elysium's content is segmented in "levels", meeting cuno is content that is tied to the hanged man level, as long as you are in that level you can't explore, while the day one exploration content is a level in it of itself and once is done, unless it's plot relevant you can't wander around again you just skip right into the content without travel
Torque dork for example (the thought) is unlocked just by picking the physical build and interacting with Kim's car.
The art also is less... bizarre? Because the PC game has the 3d world to give you a look of how characters look normally, they can use weird ass portraits, here everyone is depicted "properly" to how they actually look like

>>537426141
Not a bad game for what it is, in its defense, it's not even the real og disco elysium, but a cash-in on the normie demographic, it's not even sanitized

>>537427191
>>Raft
>You WILL get tired of fishing for resources.
It's not that bad once you get a few nets on your raft. After that you only really need your hook for digging underwater. But, yeah the early game sucks.

>>537425518
>Sims 2: Castaway
I played it ages ago, so it may or may not be as good as I remember. Biggest issue I remember is the load times, but since you would need an emulator to play it these days, it doesn't matter.
Also I could never figure out plumbing.

Your not a REAL man unless women are afraid of you

>>537427191
>I really really recommend Icarus if you like open world survival slop.
Noted
>This genre practically gives itself to procgen worlds
Yeah I definitely see the appeal, but since The Forest and Subnautica are my entry to the genre (and the only games in it I've played), unless you count Minecraft and Vintage Story, I guess, I maybe just set myself to feeling like that should be the norm not the exception.

>Raft
I've almost bought it on a few occasions but it's the thing you said, I wondered if it wouldn't get boring too quickly since I assume you're literally stuck in your base for the majority of the game. Then again maybe that's the point if it drives you to constantly tweak your raft until it's the best it can be
>Forever Skies
Recently tried and refunded it. I was really put off by how blocky and ugly your airship looks. I don't think I blame the devs, I can't imagine it being easy making a modular building system for a vehicle like that, but it still didn't quite click for me.
Which is unfortunate because I really like the concept of mobile bases. I was absolutely in love with the big sub in subnautica.

Anyone else playing Reformed Cultist Simulator?

Will check it in 2 to 3 months and see if it is still alive by then.
I'm too smoothbrain for cultist sim even if I like it, this one may actually kill me.

>>537419091
>Taming deer

Pretty sure that IRL you cant really tame a deer, they're just too big and brainless. Like imagine a wild hare the size of a small horse, now try to contain that, the enclose would basically be a 20 feet high pallisade. Probably higher, as I worked with european fallow deers as to cut their woods (it was in a safari where we had to transfer them to a winter enclose and for it to be safer for them we needed to cut their antlers lets they would gore each others in panic, in fact the year I worked there 2 died from goring during the process) and these guys, which mind you are about half the size of whitetail deer (basically the deer everyone in NA know) l would jump so high they'd be able to put their head over the corridor walls to the squeeze chute, which was a good 12 feet above ground.

Like you could bait it into semi-tameable status, but they could easily escape anytime.

>>537431127
>meters and bars and ui numbers instead of just the cards
boooooooo

>>537429950
that's fucked up

>>537431127

>>537432771
My bad, I confused them with Elks
People like the Sámi used them as beasts of burden I believe but I could be quite wrong, have barely looked into this

>>537432289
That reviewer is definitely mistaking skill issue for game design flaw if he's getting roadblocked on the first expedition and fretting over criminal rep. Even if the player doesn't take any measures to hide illicit material, the rate criminal rep builds up is so slow that it would take in-game weeks (tens of hours real time) of non-stop failure to reach a state where the Inquisitor will consider imprisoning you. It's nothing like Cultist Simulator, where the game overs can kind of sneak up on you, especially if you're new.
I feel like this reviewer got a little 'tistic about the crime rep, and that the "game over" state he reached after failing the first expedition is that he just gave up.

Probably still a smart move on your part to hold off for more polishing though. Compared to Cultist Simulator, there's less difficulty in decoding the narrative or figuring out the esoteric systems at play, but there's far more resource management and growth management, almost like a city builder or colony sim.

>>537427191
>force of nature 2
Tried this one, just feeling filtered. It's just boring.

>>537432771
Reindeer are the domesticated breed of deer, both male and female have antlers too

>>537435097
The Sami still do, from helicopters and ATVs plus a bunch of special treatment laws

Done with Goldenheart
Honestly it's okay but the last part while waaay more interesing that the rest of the game is also harder and more bullshit-y
Also i was surprised by the endings: The seemingly "Moral Good" one has you stuck wageslaving while the "Selfish" one has you saving the land and going back to being a traveller

What is CoE5?

>>537447663
Conquest of Elysium. Autistic fantasy wargame, sister series to Dominions. ~20 factions with wildly varied playstyles, half of them can summon some kind of god to kaiju-fight the other guy's god. The only game where you can larp as the Romans and cut a path through a horde of necromancer hobbits to stop the catholics from breaking the seven seals and unleashing armageddon and get back in time to deal with the half-naked women and their armies of moose that are stealing all your cities.
Also the dwarves are bugs.

Oh yeah, because it's a mobile game it has this new feature for thoughts, the game uses NOTIFICATION technology, to run the thoughts timer in the background, that way you can eat a pizza and watch anime while your thoughts are being internalized.

>>537431127
I liked Cultist Simulator in spite of itself so I'll definitely check this out. Still need to get around to playing Book of Hours first since that apparently fixes a lot of problems I had with the first game anyway.

>>537444170
>How was the beat em up he did?
Was alright, probably more fun multiplayer but I don't know off hand if they ever got the online working.

>>537444170
I literally never beat the second stage of this game.

>>537439871

Reindeer, while ill admit are indeed cervidea related to the whitetail deer, are a specific case, as they are far more adapted to tundra environment (aka environment that are generally very flat, a mix of grass land and very thick coniferous forests) so they are less prone to jump over things in their path. But I cannot deny the job done by the Saami are commendable and impressive, they effectively managed to semi-tame cervideas, like honestly I'm genuinely impressed.

I think it's either or

>>537506045
This kind of stuff honestly sounds like a cool use for language models in the medium term future.
I hate how companies want to shoehorn that shit wherever it fits because it's the new trend, but I think describing the kind of world you would want to generate in a survival game in natural language and have it spit out some world generation settings for you would be an actually cool usecase

>>537506213
I have a distinct memory of being a retard and typing "jungle island" into a minecraft seed and actually getting one

>>537506783

>>537509829
Yeah, but letters and even space influence the seed, so it still works, right? They don't have to be numbers, correctamundo?

>>537510058
Yes, it converts them to a number value anyways

>>537506045
Fuck man. I'm too stuck in analysis paralysis of finding a good enough seed. I think I'll just give up on the idea and generate a normal world. Maybe bump up the ocean setting a little and that should be good enough

Wanted to settle in this valley at first, but it's very hard to navigate, is full of bears and a spider? and has few resources.
I guess it's going to be boring old plains again, as always. But I feel like anything other than plains is a pain in the ass to settle in this game. Many of the hilly areas have such steep slope that you can barely build anywhere. Maybe I'll come back and landscape some of it one day.

>>537531498
My understanding is they're self-publishing this one and decided to rebrand because of that. Although their lack of sales is because of poor design choices, not the brand. They're desperate enough one of the characters they added is weaing a skirt with no backside, facing away from the camera on the main menu, so you see her thong. Even the coomer audience isn't interested

>>537532720
I woulnd't be QUITE that harsh but I can't particularly deny anything noted in that thread, or any other similar threads complaining about things like the "trial" system (read: Spam parries 17 times in a row even if you're walking over the game or miss out on one point in your skill tree for that map, or every map until you do it, since it only gives new trials when you do the old one)

Other highlights include almost all items being held in boxes enemies can and will aggro on and attack which require a simon says minigame to open, making them nearly impossible to ever actually loot
Every boss being a 2 v 1 fight, having a status effect that negates your combo-breaker (making that an entirely pointless mechanic v most of the bosses) OR both at once
One character having a move that costs her own HP to use, which you need to invest in the skill tree to mitigate... meaning its basically unuseable until you grind enough trials to pay for that (and she's balanced around using this move)
The game having no less than 3 currencies, 0 of which are explained
No explanation on how you get these currencies or where to spend them
Stat maluses you get on death, hidden in a menu the game doesn't tell you exists, which cost almost all your gold to heal. The game doesn't even tell you this is a thing at all. Not even a "your legs feel okay"
Skill maluses you get if you fail events, which lock out your skills... until... ??? game doesn't tell you, or warn you, this just happens sometimes, fuck you for interacting with the game

The list goes on. Everything is poorly designed.

>I wondered if it wouldn't get boring too quickly since I assume you're literally stuck in your base for the majority of the game.
I think that's the idea and why the game is called Raft.
It is a novel concept at least.
There's also Volcanoids but it has been in Early Access since '19 and as I said ealier the only EA I touched was Valheim for the hype and it turned out to be meh.

>>537436020
In Cultist Sim I died so many time with random unexpected deaths that I just couldn't keep raplying the early game over and over again.

Survivalcrafting slop is one of those genres I really like the IDEA of, but none of the individual games every end up appealing to me enough to want to stick with them for long.

>>537583793
I've only managed to get into ARK and Pal world, think it was tbf creature collecting that did it for me. Tried Valheim, grind was retarded in so single player, and if I can't manage in a survival game in SP, I won't bother.

>>537583793
I love them, but I tend to stop progressing the second I unlock farming and cooking. The second I unlock these, I essentially stop playing and just farm.
Only Abiotic Factory managed to keep me playing since half the ingredients you need to cook can only be found on enemies and food spoils quickly.

>>537584520
Absolutely hated ARK. Ran like shit on my computer. I'm curious you got into ARK but disliked Valheim.

>>537585802
>curious you got into ARK but disliked Valheim

ARK has significantly more ways to customize a save file not including mods, I was able to drastically increase gathering rate and yield, dino level (tho through a mod), and stat gain. Valheim had no such thing last time I checked, so I was stuck with multiplayer rates.

Ha, I see. My beef with ARK is that I can't bother to keep pets fed, so I never use any. And they're mandatory to not be miserable in ARK.
Anyway, they fixed that in Valheim.

>>537583793
The issue is that either its unrealistic slop where the survival aspect is just a shitty mechanic that just serve to hamper progression, or its super autistic unfun realistic application that make gameplay strenuous. Its possible to strike a balance between the two, but then its hard to innovate as such gameplay mechanics can only be properly applied within a limited range of possible games type and contexts. Like you cant really add survival mechanics to a puzzle game, for exemple.

>>537596205
>Like you cant really add survival mechanics to a puzzle game, for exemple.
I'd argue exploration and environmental puzzles are one of the few types of things that can potentially mesh well with survival mechanics rather than outright clashing with them like most genres. If done well of course, which is a pretty big caveat.

>>537568509
I tried to enjoy it but the starting pool of cells is just too small to be enjoyable on repeated playthrought, and sometimes you die so quickly its next to impossible to learn of your "mistakes", if you even did any. Also kinda pissed off you cant even do proper fire and forget missiles like the ai can do, even if you have all the cells to do such a thing, because the game consider any body part not connected to the main body as decaying as soon as it disconnect, even if you put an heart on it. I was pissed off at that one, had basically the perfect setup just for it not to work.

I'm so fucking tired of roguelike, I think the last one that I actually enjoyed was Hades 1 and thats been nearly 6 years, the sheer number of games with some interesting premise that puts roguelike crap in it makes me want claw my goddamn eyes out

>>537598048
Play good roguelikes instead of roguelites

>>537598048
Add in procedural generation and card game and you have the dogshit trinity

is there any good wiki for Conquest of Elysium 5, preferably one that isn't hosted on Fandom?

>>537599116
Sadly thats the best you will get, you could get the manuals for the games in the dev site I think

>>537599356
Manual sounds good, think I'll look it over tomorrow.
Fortunately the game seems easy enough to start playing. Now I just need to, you know, learn all the units. For starters, I can't tell if Messenger Crows are actually doing anything for me as Druid.

apparently scavgame pixelates its pixel sprites to make them look more rough

I'm so fucking tired of roguelike, I think the last one that I actually enjoyed was GTA: Online and thats been nearly 12 years, the sheer number of games with some interesting premise that puts roguelike carp in it makes me want claw my goddamn dick out

Any fun games where you can pick a lot of bad/evil choices? It doesnt have to be a game with a full on evil route or a karma meter necessarily, i'd be happy with being able to act mean a lot in-game

Overlord 2

LETS GO GAMBLING (ignore the ~20k debt)!!!!

>>537616123
is this a dutch tulic simulator

>>537597342
really? I think they give you enough cells for the starting area before you face the first boss, i still don't know what i'm doing though so can't answer how to fire missiles or drones

i made a pretty neat slingshot build though

It's over, Underspace is officially /fur/

>should we use a low resolution font to fit the pixel aesthetic?
>nah just put a pixel filter on 20 point Arial, it's basically the same thing

>>537598048
It is what it is

Silksong is definitely gonna have to get its own general

>>537624953
Yes, this one.

>>537596205
I have a bigger problem with the whole concept of the genre, where the hardest part of the game is when you start out and have absolutely nothing. As soon as you have a decent stockpile of stuff, renewable crops etc the survival part is not a big deal, you've "won" and the rest of the game is just x genre except you have a hunger meter that you have to fill up every once in a while

why would you add a hunger system to your rpg maker walking sim
its not hard to figure out a route but it doesn't add anything

>>537624731
hey this is slightly more deep fried than last year's

>>537577970
Fucking years ago. This is a currently accessible beta branch on steam going official. They put hat up like 3 months ago?

>>537630692
it's been 8 years
it's baffling when devs return to a game they've done literally nothing with for 2+ years

>>537624480
each species used to speak in a different font in gunsaw, and expies/milkies always spoke in arial, and since the radio also uses that (unlike the pocket watch which has a matrix display font), it would either mean that either an expie pre-recorded the instructions, or both humans and expies talk in arial because they're the closest biologically compared to others
i wonder if the dev would bring back this gimmick when more characters will be added to scav

>>537560220
this feels more surreal than Silksong releasing, it's been fucking 8 years since the last update. I thought the devs moved on years ago.

>>537644649
i heard that they were acquired by something
original devs said that NT is a complete, finished game multiple times
expect the update to be shit

>>537645056
from what I can find it's just that one of the co-founder acquired all the shares last year. It's better than them getting acquired by some random studio like Gearbox buying RoR

Cinematic trailer by the Astartes guy for Menace, the sci fi/probably horror tactical game from the Battle Brothers devs.

>>537624097
Well now I have to get the game

>>537648108
Some of scenes in the trailer straight up look like scenes from the Astartes video with swapped models, especially the big autocannon one.

Between this and a certain comment from the party member finding machine I'm a little worried about wiz

I went back and listened to the ost. God I fucking missed it

Fuck does Cuno care about Silksong? That's clard shit, got nothing on Locust City.

>>537677962
Trynna hook the Cuno on that Meteroidvania shit, pig? Cuno's to smart for that bitch.

Has anyone seen this game? I apparently wishlisted it a while ago, and as a puzzle game enjoyer I was wondering if anyone has seen it or played it yet.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1289720/Neyyah/

>>537686076
I played the demo
its neat
I was disappointed when I finished the demo because I wanted to keep playing.

qt harpie

>>537686076
Looks good for a Myst-like but they were never my favorite puzzle-adventure games, I preferred LucasArts titles

>>537688229
Im way more into myst likes because they're usually 90% exploration and puzzles. I hate sitting through dialogue trees. Talking to npcs is half of what you do in traditional point and click games, from what ive played.

>>537687515

This is the smartest thing I've ever done.

Mooning that pedophile teacher in kindergarten wasn't your brightest moment, indeed.

FOUR DOZEN EGGS

I do not understand the appeal of the truck simulator games. I like my share of job sims, but the truck ones are totally alien to me.

>>537713957
For me, it's forklift simulator.

>>537686076
haha haha ha ha aaaah

>>537724385
it kinda reminds me of how myst was, so I can't hate it too much.

Playing Otherskin, it's from the devs of Monster Boy. Instead of making another 2D game, they jumped to 3D. Unfortunately it looks and feels like a student's first UE5 project, but it scratches that straightforward Metroid Prime itch. Unlocking new abilities and using them is satisfying, so I'll probably keep playing if there's enough variety

like sleep like dead, /indie/

Looks like somebody forgot to properly find-replace.
Frankly, the writing in this whole section of Outer Expansion is so bad I'm not surprised this slipped past. I'm ashamed I didn't notice the sprite was straight up an avali til now.

>>537724385
soul

>>537738414
the sprite is shit wow
you should be ashamed for mutilating the game this much

I can say that Monster & Memories is not for me

>>537197516 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zBTF4INW5g

>>537726201
I saw this and for a second was straight up convinced that maybe that's a Warframe screenshot and that's what the game looks like, now that I haven't played for probably 10 years

>>537565737
Time for Gleba.

Goal: no supplies dropped from space (other than my personal construction bots) and nothing other than what I'm wearing to help me, and no blueprints other than ones I make right now while I'm here, effective until I build a fuelled rocket silo to escape with.
I want to mix things up a bit to keep it fresh and this is the only good way.

>>537697087
My best play was putting unkillable on Black Goat while also having Oroboros. So I could sacrifice Oroboros for the goat and then the goat for Oroboros on infinite loop, making Oroboros arbitrarily strong until I run out of patience.
To bad it was in the bonus cardgame-only gamemode so it didn't carry over

>>537713957
I assume it's a similar appeal to something like Survivor-Clones. It engages your brain just enough but not too much. Kind of like how some people find real driving relaxing.
Plus I guess you have persistent progress towards buying better trucks and whatnot

>>537756394
Gonna be rough but oh well, need to figure out the entire intended chain of progression from scratch.

>>537757402
Completely and utterly overbuilt, but I'd rather have too much than not enough.

>>537762205
>It's all wetlands
Fucking hell, this is going to take so long.

Silksong is the only game I've been looking forward to the past year. I can't fucking wait, bros. Just one more day

factorio sucks wuwuwuwuwuwuw

So it's not going to have its own general?

>>537769524
Make your own

>>537764808
I implore you to not craft your biolabs by hand

>>537769826
>I implore you to not craft your biolabs by hand
Bit too late for that I'm afraid. If I need more I'll definitely do them in a biochamber but spoilage is wrecking me. Normally I putz around for hours thinking about what I want to do and how to do it exactly but being put on a clock is fucking me up and I'm making mistakes as a result.

So I just finished Metro Gravity, obviously not a 100%, but I'd definitely recommend it if you like puzzle games and platformers, but if you don't like rythme based combat just toggle the option that augment the timing window x3. It is confusing tho, so if you have a poor grasp of 3d positioning (as in, interpreted where you are physically in a 3d environment, dunnos if that is the correct term for it) then you'll have difficulty because this game can be very confusing at time, especially with how gravity is based on where you last walked, and most of the puzzles play around that unorthodox mechanic.

Still a 9/10 if not 10 with just how novel and interesting it is, you can tell its a passion project and I can't even imagine the thinking that went behind this, especially the level design.

>>537774409
i played it before they put out the update for the easier timing window, and a few of those eyes blocking doors were harder than all the bosses.

>>537764808
>>537769826
In future runs I may need to turn the rate things spoil at way the fuck down, because things are spoiling in front of me before I can even finish thinking.

>cheater needs to cheat even more
lol, lmao

>>537776605
How am I cheating right now? Please explain.

dont take the bait.

Revenge.

>>537779968
For?

>>537780462
dunno, 's not me

>>537776561
Yeah I think I'll have to sit on this shit and meditate / come back to it in a few hours or something after I think how the fuck I'm supposed to do this because it's fucking me up. Every bio chamber requiring nutrients as fuel to run at all (even the ones producing the nutrients) and the nutrients spoil after only five minutes max is ruining all my plans.

>>537783397
Why are you using mods when this is your first time playing Space Age?

>>537783627
First time doing Gleba, not first time playing Space Age. Played through twice with friends, both times I wasn't in charge of Gleba. One part of why I'm not using any supplies or anything else for Gleba.

>>537784374
>play with friends
>never touch 1/6 of the game or so (4 planets, space, deep space)
Huh, does this really happen?

>>537784556
>Huh, does this really happen?
We tend to get in each other's way if we build together, so as soon as we got to space we each took charge of a different planet and left the other two to their own devices.

>>537783397
Py or Nullius when?

I hope Silksong has less annoying platforming

>>537796286
Total conversion mods never looked interesting to me, especially stuff that adds or changes lots of recipes. The most I've ever considered is Warptorio and it took me a long time to come around to that idea.

I wonder if a big Vintage Story server could simulate a Dwarf Fortress fort.

>>537807785
Human decency and common sense would prevent the true dwarven experience from happening. Maybe if there was a multiplayer compatible mod that turn you spontaneously schizophrenic without telling it so you believe your friend turned into drifters and cause chaos and confusion, and another that add the equivalent of strange moods where you HAVE to build something using arbitrary materials like a pelt armor studded with lapis lazuli and emeralds else your character go insane.

>>537807785
I vaguely remember there being some fantasy roleplay server that did in fact have a dwarven faction

I'm pleased to hear that Silksong comes out right as I come home from work. Good shit.
Also I wonder if it's going to cost 60 bucks and a bunch of entitled fuckers will lose their shit over it.

>>537814396
They already announced the price, $20

Oh shit, we got a release date AND first hearing of an english voice actor for Onirism.
I don't care for it. Will keep french original on myself.
https://youtu.be/LHcOfSbuDIM?si=xkv_CaDYKGAXp0zl

>>537814515
That's kinda crazy honestly. They could have gotten away with demanding way more if this game has as much content as HK.
I guess they're banking on shipping a million copies and also don't want the PR backlash from making it too expensive, because the average customer is an idiot

>>537815862
That's a pretty good voice. I'll keep the original voice acting tho.

>>537815862
But does she get spanked?

>>537598048
Slay the Spire did so much damage to indie games and then somehow Vampire Survivors lowered the bar even lower after I thought it couldn't be any lower.
And then Shartlatro is a literal nothing game. Just poker with some extra funny cards and it got praised as a goty contender.

>>537697087
I am still so sad how much worse the game gets after act1. I just wanted that with the story progression continuing in the cabin instead of ruining everything. But act 2 had best gameplay.
But impressed that I never got spoiled on the acts after 1 when I only played it this winter.

Oh neat Cronos is on gamepass. Gonna add that to my to play list later.
Scrolling down the coming soon list I also saw Silent Hill f and Apparently Little Nightmares 3 is coming soon.

>decide to try voices of the void
>Seem neat
>Decide to pause the game to go eat supper
>Game unpause itself and starve my guy

God dang it. Why even add a food mechanic in a game about space signal?

>>537831952
Unless the pause screen was flickering, and thus not actually paused, I'm pretty sure it can't unpause itself.

>>537815862
Yummy OC from /v/.

>>537832527
Well I almost assuredly paused the game before walking out, and I guess my screen automatic turn off when idle screwed with the game, because when I came backnig was running still. Also getting kind of annoyed how I cobstantly have to go back and forth to the basement to play with the power supply, also what the hell does the S meter even stand for? I kbow the f is for food, but i dont recall seeing it being explained inbthe tutorial.

>>537835509
You shouldn't be constantly playing with the power switches, unless the power shuts off entirely and you have to flick em on again. The only time you should mess with them is when the power dies (via event or transformer death) or when you're REALLY min-maxing transformer health.
S is [S]tamina. Gets low, you need to sleep. The shower raises it up to 20, using the toilet bumps it up by 5, both can be used once a day. If it's below 20, you risk being forced into sleep, and below 15 you can't sprint.

>>537833309
cute

>>537836579
Thanks for the info, the tutorial had me believe that turning off certain part of the power would improve the loading time of the still powered part(s), maybe I had misread it or the improvement isnt worth the hassle.

Made the money to get Silksong! Do you think it'd be a good idea to get it day 1? Because of bugs and stuff (no pun intended)

Guys I only got around to playing a few hours of the first Hollow Knight. I liked it just fine but it might as well be storyless for how much I know about it and the world, I've just heard vague talking about nonsense regarding the world lore and whatnot. Know nothing.

How bad is it to play Silksong first? I kinda wanna download this first thing in the morning. Hornet is too cool.

p.s. I wanna fuck the map maker guy's wife

>>537865346
>How bad is it to play Silksong first?
Probably not much? Nigger the game isn't even out yet, how are we supposed to know

Played the demo for Chordosis, a Hungarian alien abduction horror game from itch.io. The atmosphere is incredible, even though no doubt it relies on a lot of UE5 bells and whistles. At first I thought it was vaporware because there's been no update since 2023, but the dev responded to a YouTube comment last month saying he's working on it almost daily, so hopefully it'll be completed eventually. It appears to be be aiming for more of a traditional survival horror experience with combat, but the demo/first episode is pretty much just a walking sim with some physics-based scavenging for key items.

>>537865346
its like dark souls
the story doesnt actually exist until you look up a youtube video that tells you what the story is

Man... Sometimes I feel like having friends is just not for me...
>Friend ask for game suggestions
>"You should play this game, the story is really good"
>"ok"
>She decides to play the game in Russian (a language she does not speak)
>"The game you told me to play really sucks! None of the mechanics are explained and I ended up watching the end on youtube after playing for 3 hours"
Jeez I dunno fuckhead, maybe try playing the game in a language you can understand.

>>537874267
The core line up?
>Nobeta, Little Witch Nobeta.
Tried out the demo before release. It didn't entice me into buying and neither did the patreon lewds by developers. Plays like a Soulslike and I've never played any of the Fromsoft games.
>Carol, Onirism.
Heavy bias in favor for it. Plays like mix of Ratcher & Clank, Serious Sam and Doom Eternal. 3rd person shooter with platforming elements. It's fun.
>Beebz, Demon Turf/Demon Tides
Played Turf, but got bored after beating 1st boss. 2D sprites in 3D world can be a turnoff for some and Beebz' heavy feeling controls as well. Aside from those nitpicks, I'd say it's a good game. My potato PC can't handle Demon Tides...
>Hat Kid, A Hat in Time.
It's Hat In time. Surely you must have heard all the raving and praise for it over the years. Decent platformer taking influence from Mario Sunshine, but without the FLUDD. I enjoyed it.
>Anubia, Potionomics.
She's the 2nd to last boss, so she doesn't get time to shine. Her game isn't much to talk about. Potion crafting and selling game with yet another card motif. Haven't played it yet.
>Jas, Stardew Valley
Again, surely you must have heard all the praise for SDV. A Harvest Moon tribute farming sim. Played tons of it with and without mods.
>Renata, Frogun/Frogun Encore
Unfortunate underdog. A slow-ish platformer with grappling "hook" frog tongue gun. I had good time, but difficult to recommend to others.

Heat Death of the Universe

>>537851672
Considering the time it spent cooking, I expect very few serious bugs.

I was going through my backlog, and I've finally played (and finished Intravenous 2). The game really surprised me with how much fun it was trying to ghost both of the campaigns (and failing miserably, leading to massive fights where I was the only one alive in the end every 3rd level). You guys know anything similar to IV2? I've heard some good things about Heat Signature.

>>537878521
Yeah Heat Signature is pretty fun and open ended.
You come up with your own solutions and you stop playing when you want, there's isn't really a main story, it's randomly generated ships with gimmicks and you pick and choose your loadout and the ships you want to infiltrate.
Later in the game some ships even get attacked by others while you're inside and it gets pretty hectic

>>537879502
>this pic in a general where ultraniche passion projects are often posted and discussed

>>537894692
>>537894717
I fucking knew it would happen lol
why the fuck didn't they let us preorder, jesus christ

>>537894692
This is Team Cherry's fault for not allowing pre-orders like 2 days before release and Steam not preparing themselves.

>>537894692
It's ALL of steam store down in my client
Never seen this lol. Even during first 5 minutes of their shitty sales it's just super slow to load.

It was probably fully intentional. This is going to get them even more attention.

>>537895739
Clever bastards

I'm honestly still a little shocked how popular this game is. It's kind of like Dark Souls. Where I got into it while it was somewhat unknown or just starting to get popular and it almost kind of passed me by that literally everyone and their mom knows about it.
Good on them though

It's already been 15 minutes
I can only imagine the millions of dollars going straight into their pockets

>>537896064
>millions of dollars going straight into their pockets
Not happening, you can't even buy the game.
>>537895438

>>537896064
As a low level software dev myself I can only feel sorry for the poor interns at Steam who are currently running from call to call trying to hold the house of cards together.

i'm in
try not to be too jealous

AHHHHHHHHHH

>>537896214
Proof?

Not gonna lie, this is the funniest shit and I'm happy to be a part of it.

Get it from GOG. Store page there is still up.

>>537896354
It really is hilarious.

>>537896039
the original was decently popular, but delaying the sequel for like 5 years was the worlds greatest viral marketing campaign because now everyone is racing to get the famous meme game.
the whole silksong clown meme escaped fandom containment

>>537896298
i made it up because i'm upset

why didn’t they just let us preload…
Gonna be some crazy publicity though, steam and the Nintendo estore broke

>>537896534
Good point. Same as with Half Life 3, except that that never came out.
I'm more curious at what the reception will be like between normalfags getting filtered, contrarians hating it out of spite and people who got lost in the hype having their unreasonably high expectations disappointed.

I mean, it's just more Hollow Knight. I don't think expectations are THAT high, despite the memeing.

While we're on the topic. I really hope our divegrass player will still be called SILKSONG WHEN even after this

t. i have no idea what a scam is

stop refreshing the store page you fucking NIGGERS

>>537896936
Actually I keep seeing a shit ton of content creators that have never touched HK jumping on the hype, some of them are definitely in for rude awakenings.
>>537897017
I don’t need to it just won’t let me add to cart and the soundtrack keeps switching to N/A

>>537896936
Dunno maybe you're right. I'm definitely with you that I don't expect anything beyond Hollow Knight but more, which is totally fine.
But some people do talk about this game as if it's the second coming of Christ and I can't always tell who is meming and who isn't

if it's so popular why is /indie/ still slow

I hired my little brother to refresh the store nonstop on his phone and laptop.

i never played HK and never had any interest in silksong

>>537897017

>>537897305
wait until you get to the payment processing, that's the real filter

>>537897380
Nah dude, I can see the knight in the background, you can't fool me.
Also no way you downloaded it this fast

>>537897308
Cool story, bro!

>they faked a release date and intentionally crashed steam so nobody would find out
5D chess, just wait two more weeks bros

>>537897621
8 gb takes 90 seconds to download my dude

I'd love to see a graph of how many people are at what stage of buying the game plotted over time.
Because I'm assuming even if people are managing to buy it the number of people sending requests to the steams tore servers isn't necessarily getting smaller since more new ones keep arriving, who didn't catch the exact release date.

>>537896039
>>537896534
It wasn't a big launch, but gradually gained recognition in the following months/years and the subsequent updates kept prolonging the interest. Most people probably accept it as the best in genre, its one of the big tentpole indie games of that decade along with the likes of Slay the Spire and Celeste. Of course the sequel is gonna be a big deal.

>>537898274
>Most people probably accept it as the best in genre
Yeah maybe if you never played any other game and you never even got close to finishing HK.

At this point I feel like I should be doing literally anything else for the next 3 hours or whatever
This is beyond frustrating

Team Cherry just knew that I would stop looking at /indie/ for a while after getting the game and they wanted me to give some extra time to hang out here.
Thanks guys!

>>537898527
Agree, except I do think it's really funny. I might change my tune if this still continues into the evening
Guess I'm gonna go make a burger or something

>>537898527
If it lasts more than a couple hours it’s gonna stop being funny. Why the fuck didn’t they let us preload.

>>537898412
Yeah, that's the point "most people" do not know better. If everyone actually played more they could probably find a metroidvania which they like more than Hollow Knight, the same goes for the poster-child of any genre. HK was able to reach such success by being in broadly offensive to a wide audience, it's easy to find an alternative which you specifically prefer, but find one which so many people can get some enjoyment out of. .

>>537899121
Look at this speedrunner, already in the second room

imagine being some unsuspecting normie who just decided to buy a random game on Steam today

I have tomorrow off as well I'm not completely braindead.

Gonna go make some food, if it's still down after that I'm just buying on GOG

>Been trying to add funds for the last hour and a half
God fucking damn it. I haven't even clicked on the buy button and I'm already getting filtered.

>>537903001
furries OUT
this is a bugfucker thread

Fucking finally holy shit

>>537903167
You aren't a true bugfucker if your bug knowledge is limited to HK

>>537903650
Do not lewd Vi.
She is mine!

Was in the air yesterday, so copied a few Logic bombs puzzles onto some graph paper and solved them by hand. Can highly recommend it if other anons still have any left. You have to think carefully about filling in each square because filling them in is permanent, but it's easier to hold information in the mind when reading from a physical object. Pic rel and the pyramid one after were good fun.

>>537873796
I'm not spending money. I want to play it day one because the old one seems solid enough from what I've played and what I've seen of the later game, but Hornet is cooler and SHINY NEW THING (magpie effect)

Am I really the first one in 2 years of the 500k furfags to see this typo?

>free this big bug from his silk prison and he starts attacking me
What's his problem?

Welp, I bought it on GOG without a problem. See you later /indie/

>>537908445
>Servers unshitted themselves as soon as I posted this.
Gaben has a sense of humour.

anyone waiting for psn. I was able to buy it on the app.

why is there no option to make down arrow automatically attack if you're in the air? there's nothing else you'd want to do, because look down only works when you're on the ground

I don't like the new down attack but holy shit it feels sick when you actually land it.

This game BUSSIN

feels like I should accept
but idk everybody's sussy

Okay I'm a bit of an idiot and didn't see all the Hollow Knight endings.
Is Silksong a prequel or a sequel, or is it ambiguous/we will find out? I always assumed it was a prequel and takes place in Hallownest before the infection, but now I'm not so sure anymore

Finally got through

>>537912364
We will find out. It's equally possible this takes place before Hornet's vigil, during it, or after the events of HK. Just from what we know before playing however I'm hesitantly gonna say prequel.

>expected tight 3D platformer
>it's actually a metroidvania with way too stretched out leveldesign and too open so I am backtracking like wild

>>537878521
>I've heard some good things about Heat Signature.
Is fun. My main issue with it is that with every mission you complete your character's fame increases, which decreases the amount of progress toward the next liberation (which unlocks new gear in the shop and new challenges). You're simply not supposed to play through the entire game on a single character.
On the flip side, you can pick a new character, pick a very difficult assassination mission with 30 shielded and armored guards, promptly ignore any semblance of difficulty by stealing another ship and bombing your target without ever setting foot on it and gain enough progress to unlock a sector or two without buying a single piece of gear.

>>537878521
>Heat Signature
Yup, it's fun but it's probably a bit more crazy with the options you get compared to Intravenous. Also i think there is a little problem with mission difficulties. Choose a bit lower and you can win with just about anything, choose higher and only the slow and boring moves seem to win you the mission. Or at least that's how it was for me.
Still recommend though.

>>537905303
I saw it but didn't bother reporting it

Bell Beast...

>>537919846
I don't know who this bitch is, but she owes me sex regardless.

how the fuck you get out farfields?

nvm collect those spiky air shitters in farfields

This game makes me appreciate when other games keep you on a tighter leash at first while you gather your moveset and then opens the map up to let you go where you want.
So many spots where I hit a wall and need to return later because I am missing 1 or more elements of my movement yet. The stuff you get is fun and flows nice though. The wallkicks definitely feels very different and needed getting used to.

>>537919231
He's a tough nut to crack. I love it.
I was a little worried that the first few bosses of the game would be too easy for me

>>537865346
Irrelevant story wise because iirc its a prequel, but most of the stuff will fly over your head because I suspect it answer a lot of question peoples had with the lore of certain aspect which are left ambiguous ie what was the true intent of the king and stuff like that.

>>537894446
Anon, im not that anon but at least learn to read.

>>537914847
>My metroidvania has backtrekking ree

Anon, I...

one of the fleas is here

>>537922683
What do you mean? I've used the generic you (which I hoped would be clear by context)

>>537922934
Good bait.

Okay so the new down attack is throwing me a bit. I keep going for diagonal inputs instead of down, and hitting side attacks when I’m trying to chain them.
Also is it cope/placebo or are the iframes on attack recovery much shorter than HK?

>install Silksong via gamepass
>realize I should probably finish Hollow Knight
I've bounced off the game three times before, no idea why I wanted a sequel

damn this bitch was EASY, you can punish every move she does

>>537925727
>I keep going for diagonal inputs instead of down
Same, it's very counter intuitive. It feels super satisfying to land hits and chains with that move, but its a little awkward to do. Especially since I assume you want to do it ever so lightly diagonally anyways, to make sure it goes in the correct direction

Stupid spitting snails

Hornet sounds super fucking dorky this time around.

>>537926139
What purpose does building a platform and a city over lava serve?

fourth chorus is pretty fun, but the his animation don't look very hollow knight to me

>>537929318
>but the his animation
but his animations*

The eternal battle between wanting to take this game slow and some weird FOMO adjacent feeling of wanting to be part of the online discourse which requires keeping up with all the people rushing through it.
I think ultimately I'll just take it slow and try to avoid spoilers as much as I can while I'm at it.

>>537929650
I legit never felt this. I only alt tab and open a thread to ask dumbass questions if I am stuck or vent a bit.
But I heard this before. Void Stranger fanatics worship that process of that time they all tried to get around the devs dumb logic together way more than the game itself.

>five hundred thousand concurrent players
Holy mother of fuck

found another one in the farlards
its found in a room accessed through a breakable wall and in the room before there's a single enemy that drops 25 beads

>>537930786
i keep forgetting to spoiler images

>>537930626
It’s on gamepass too right? Probably at 1m across all platforms.

>HK has you get lost in the Crossroads for your first 1-2 hours with the game so finally getting to Greenpath is refreshing.
>SS introduces 3 wildly different areas, each requiring their own map, in 2 hours
Interesting how significantly they changed up their approach to the early-game structure. Feels like HK's mid and late game areas benefited from having Crossroads as a point of comparison. The first few hours of SS have been a lot more fun, but it seems like each of the starting areas has less room the breathe.

>>537923224
Seem like I was the one who should learn to read, my bad

>>537931109
Don't forget switch. That was where the first game got it's massive sales from.

>>537933490
Happens to the best of us, don't worry about it. And I do admit my message was a bit ambiguous

Oh wow I actually played for 5 hours straight. The long run is insanely good feeling to do and spam.
Also I didn't quite get Sybil being praised as that hot before I got the golden thigh gear.

KILL ALL ANTS
FUCK ANTS
MURDER ANTS

>money is a bit tight
>see this
:)

eat shit bitch nigga

Besides the down jump attack, how different does it feel from regular Hollow Knight?

>>537936672
Much more agile overall. And you're punished more for just bullrushing with attacks while tanking damage. Also heal management is very different due to it being an all or nothing thing. Generally feels more tense.

>>537936672
No wall climbing so far, but there's ledge grabbing and you can immediately jump after doing it. You can also sprint and there's more verticality in the game.

>>537936953
The sprint, vaulting, and sprint attacks feel VERY good. Not sure if they'll be of any use in a boss fight though.

>>537937127
Parrying might, since it's a little more consistent.

Is there anything to do to get back your corpse if it’s stuck somewhere you can't reach, like in the first game? Died after hitting a lever that moved platforms off the path I used to get there.

Enemies can now go up and down platforms. There's some scissor dudes and big lads with bells on their heads.

>>537937558
Nevermind I died again.

I'm gonna fucking murder whoever designed the fucking pogo in this fucking game.
And having no dash is criminal. This is a horrible navigational experience.

>>537933302
Yeah, also Dirtmouth and the Corssroads felt a lot more like a hub. I don't quite get that vibe from any of the areas so far, but then again I guess it's supposed to be a journey to the top instead of how in Hollow Knight you were always destoned to return to the egg in the end

I'd rather read about Factorio than Silksong.

>>537938531
You do get a quasi-dash. When you get the sprint you get a small dash when starting, you can just feather it. Not the same as HK dash though.

>>537939087
Grim, considering Factorio's momentum has been killed by its expansion's lackluster release.

>>537892207
She did it intentionally.
>>537894446
I don't know. She said she "wanted to".
