Please don't stop making these. Even if you need to change what type of games you cover, it's just fun watching you try out obscure steam games. I always get excited when another of these is in my subscriptions

WOAH MY GAME DREAM OF A SUNFLOWER GOT ON SOULS-LIKE DUMPSTER DIVING I made it with fellow developer rakasaac in 2 weeks for a game jam, as a learning experience, as well as just to have "Touhou Dark Souls" exist in the world!

You know what I always like most about these is the respect you show for these games, even ones you didn't like or were clearly unfinished or very rough. Devs put a lot of work into them and its hard to produce a really strong game. We're very spoiled by the indie market because we pay the most attention to the best games, but there's literally millions of indie devs out there trying to make something. Some don't succeed, and that's okay. We don't often start from a place of success.

Always strange how games inspired by russian/slav folklore gain this much love in the comments. I mean, yeah, the art is badass, for likho for example, but nobody really says so about tunic kind of games and other stuff. And iron pineapple also says something on these folklore people designs, like with domovoi in this video. It isn't strange, but just seems like it, maybe that's the witcher influence on the world.

@chompythebeast Год назад

@@ethan2670 Yeah I liked the idea of "punishing" looting, or rather creating a risk/reward system around it. It could infuse some fun mechanics familiar to the survival genre but through the violent lens of Soulslike violence. But it would definitely make balancing a whole lot harder for the devs

@hhgxmiing9247 Год назад

Of course everybody has their own preferences, but, i would say Iron did "downplay" Hobo Cat quite a bit. Yes, i did not see his entire gameplay of it, but still, from what he has shown us: The game is creative/ somewhat unique, animations are fine, combat variety (ground pound, peeing from above, throwable objects can be used for parrying & have unique uses), new weapon like banjo is not just a skin it has custom sound & animations, decent voice acting, fun well made cutscences. I believe Iron did not enjoy the humor, so it probably effected his judgment to some extend. That is not my usual preference either, but i think people see Soulslike genre as "serious", maybe too serious. So i actually appreciate this fresh new take of a Soulslike. Def underrated review. Its just the humor, the game otherwise seems to work. I did not hear Iron say its unplayable cuz of bad performance.

Guilt actually had pretty stellar looking character and creature designs, like a mix of D&D and Berserk. Environments didn't look bad either, especially given the obvious asset limitation. If they fixed the bog-standard movesets of the common enemies and touch everything up just a little bit there's a lot of potential there!

@CaptainCFalcon Год назад

There was a clear divide in the attention to aesthetic versus mechanics. They put a lot of effort into the art, which is REALLY well done, so they really just need to iron out the gameplay.

@vermillion6159 Год назад

I like that it's also inspired by actual folklore. Koschei the Deathless, the ghost looking guy, is a character from Russian mythology, a sorcerer who turned himself into a lich to gain immortality. I don't know much else about it either but it may be that the other creatures are also from that particular story, which would give them a bit more personality other than just being enemies for the sake of being enemies. In terms of art style, it definitely reminded me of the Berserk games as well.

OK, having a custom animation for the boss killing you actually seems like a really cool idea.

@MolnarSPeter Год назад

That used to be a thing in games slightly over a decade ago, too bad studios dont want to put that much effort in nowadays

@thegrouchization Год назад

@@MolnarSPeter Not really? That was around the time I got into the medium, and I'm fairly certain it wasn't particularly common back then either (the only example that springs to mind was Dead Space and its sequels).

@FFKonoko Год назад

@@MolnarSPeter no it wasn't... actually, that comment deserves more. because seriously, there is a few games over a long time that had death animations. It is nothing to do with a specific time, it's just generally a waste of resources. Dead space was indeed about a decade ago, 2011 to 2013, and tomb raider reboot would count from there. But so would the rest of the tomb raider series from 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003...you get the idea. Let alone things like kings quest or space quest from 1986 to 1995, the elvira game from 1990, fade to black 1995, heart of darkness in 1998, limbo was 2010... Most players will only see a fraction of the deaths, and only while simultaneously getting annoyed. Even moreso if the animation is too long, and they die multiple times.

Next time you do another episode of this series, I highly recommend checking out The Tarnishing of Juxtia. It's got a demo on Steam right now with a release date of "Summer 2022." I was really surprised and impressed by the demo. The game doesn't have a super unique "hook" or anything, but the devs really nailed the fundamentals. Character actions feel great, and enemy movesets are hard but fair. Environments and character designs aren't anything unique as far as Souls-likes go, but they're well rendered in an appealing pixel-art style.

This vid is trending hard right now. I'll bet you're really making some devs' weeks when you give optimistic reviews―I think it's safe to say that your opinion is easy to understand and your expertise in the area well-respected. I really like this series, and I hope it continues to be this successful for you to incentivize the honestly consumer- _and_ indie developer-friendly work that you're doing here. I'd even say that what you're doing is _important_ for this corner of the industry, where art still trumps profit. Thank you

@jeremyroberts8822 Год назад

I agree and honestly I’d argue it’s very important because any type of feedback whether negative or positive will help these indie devs in the long run. The more people that give them opinions on what is or isn’t done right the better. Plus he’s very respectful with his critiques even to the worst games

@TheJadeFist Год назад

The Sunflower one, with some refinement and high production quality, that could almost be a good game, it tried to be bullet hell but the 3d and full range of motion didn't make it so much as hell as slightly wiggle between. Nah it needs massive cleaving attacks and zones of damage coming, so you have to maneuver around to avoid them. Sort of like Souls boss where sometimes you see an animation and you know to run away asap, or to run towards the boss to get under his attack.

@theapexsurvivor9538 Год назад

Yeah, with some proper telegraphing, bullet clusters, and a dodge mechanic with i frames, it would be a seriously fun souls-em-up. Probably good enough to get popular and maybe warrant a sequel to help the dev team grow, get more funding, and gain more experienced with new, different mechanics.

Dream of a Sunflower looks like by combining Dark Souls and Tohou they just accidentally made NieR

@Dovoline3 Год назад

Touhou fangames are usually a lot more high-effort than the average, so I'm not surprised this one was too. I do think 3d may not be the best environment for bullet hell gameplay though, Nier had to shift to 2D perspective to make it work, because 3D just leaves too many openings. Though it didn't help that none of these patterns were particularly hard. Look up some of the stuff stage 6 bosses in the mainline touhou games have, that's some real shit right there.

@CaptainCFalcon Год назад

I think the 3D is fine, but the patterns need to work WITH the system, as opposed to AGAINST it. There needs to be more angles of approach, & more rotational attacks. The fact that pineapple never left the ground, despite a pretty fluid flight system, shows that they could've done SO much more with it. Having attacks that need you to fly in order to avoid them would make boss fights MUCH more satisfying.
