Owlboy

very nice game. unplayable

I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS GAME

...

By providing a link you kind of show you don't care if people buy or not the game, that'd defeat a shills point, they only seek money for them or the company they work for.

The problem is that shill have no meaning anymore other than "People who post things I don't like". I think is ok to promote a game here as long as you don't ask for money and you're clear about it.

Holy shit, are you really a shill or just a fucking idiot? Nice tits, though.

Never really heard of it, why did this have expectations around it ?

In theory it would be, but no, some shitposters are just that attached to seeing shills everywhere.

It was delayed numerous times for YEARS.

Art style is kinda neat like higher res GBA or something cant explain.

If they were so lazy they couldn't put the right control prompts in, what else did they skimp on?

I'll also add that the music is really good. And yes, the art style is phenomenal if you're a pixelfag.

That wasn't "it can't go higher than 720p" so I don't see what there is to complain about. But it's also a sprite game so it's not like it would make a difference.
good, regular fullscreen is caner
ok
As it should be. It's a 2D game.
That's dumb.
What? Explain that.

How the fuck does any of this make the game "unplayable"
Why don't you talk about whatever the fuck is going on in your webm? That actually looks like something to complain about.

Or you can write those people off as idiots who either can't understand that people like things or retards out on the eternal jew hunt.

this is the GOG version
when it's hyped up to be "IT TOOK 8/9 YEARS TO MAKE!", you get the wrong impressions for a lot of things.
The problem isn't just that the game is 720p which by the way any resolution is fine. But the problem is the fullscreen is a lie of what it actually is, it's not actual fullscreen it is borderless fullscreen.
Since its 720p and you want to scale it to your monitor's resolution, let's say 1080p. The game scale it by 1.5x and since this is a game that heavily features pixel art, the pixels aren't as crystal clear since it's scaled oddly.

the engine has the ability to have drm on music
they didn't remove the drm for the gog games and it crashes the game refusing to run, which the webm explains
even worse when the files are in a obfuscated format as well, you get the soundtrack in flac and mp3 which is ironic

>drm on music
We're reaching new levels of cancer

Can they get the game kicked off GoG for having that in it?

wait a minute

" The game crashes with "Song playback failed. Please verify that the song is not DRM protected. DRM protected songs are not supported for creator games." If you get this error, it's because Windows Media Player is not installed, which is used by XNA for some of the sequences in the game. We'll try to solve this issue in such a way that players at least won't have to install Windows Media Player themselves. It seems that in the meantime, you can install Windows Media Player manually, and the game should run fine. (Thanks to the users who reported this.)"

So it has shitty meme dialogue?

oh
Somehow this is more surprising.

Wew me laddoos

You are such a fucking moron. Nobody said "it took 8/9 years to make!" They said "It had multiple delays that took years." As in, people anticipated it only to face more delays and another postponement. No one is acting like this is the game to end all games. You're just looking for an argument because you're autistic and can't manage to enjoy anything.

wtf?

Anti piracy mate :^) if you aren't a pirate then it isn't a problem.

This is a joke, right?
Between this and people asking to pirate everything, i'm starting to think Holla Forums is literally composed entirely of niggers from africa using stolen electricity and hooked to 56k modems.
That would actually explain everything.

It's not about how long it takes to download, it's about how shit of a job the devs made adding desnescessary shit.

...

What are you on about? The game is not even 300mb and the 1gb copy simply includes the OST in FLAC and mp3.

Jesus. Are you also going to complain that holding a controller makes your hands hurt, that the game makes you pay attention, that you have to do stuff to win?
The only valid complain was the game crashing.

user is it that hard to just admit Holla Forums has a shill witchhunting problem? It's like viral marketing all over again.

haha it's shit

Maybe it does. You certainly can't go around showing off the new game you made on Holla Forums even if it's free.
But on the other hand, you got Reddit and other places for that.
I think it's cool there's a paranoid place on the internet. I prefer being paranoid about shills and actually scaring away a few here and there over being too lenient with them and allowing them to flood us with shit

This entire thread is cancer. I regret making it.

...

Maybe you shouldn't make threads for shit meme games

you havent seen it happen anyways?
after all piracy helps sales fellow goyim :^)

Except we are flooded with shit: shitposters who cry shill at everything

what the fuck is this indie sjw undertale NES pixelshit garbage?

Welcome to Holla Forums, you can't make a thread about something you like or else you'll get called a shill. You can only have template meme threads and bullshit like Pokemon or Neptunia.

But no actual shills.

You fly around as owlboy and have no attacks. You have to pick up some gun toting guy to attack for you.

...

hur dur hur how do I find torrents without kat.cr anymore? 65DAE1B759D040AB226A1DDD1F963DC52C66343F you spoon-fed babbi

...

...

It would actually solve the problem if you just told them where to get the torrents themselves.

...

They can google what I posted and figure it out. That or google "kat.cr alternatives"

oh look its tumblrtale 2

You are a bunch of hipsters

I know right? We got new hologram displays coming out and people still play on regular TVs. Pitiful.

holograms cant love you like pixels can

I feel your pain OP, anything that isn't already shilled to death here will get you called a shill.

Oh no, it's definitively a problem. You can claim you like [Unpopular/new game] because then you're a shill.

Yes

How is it like Undertale?

...

skeletons, probably

How is it not undertale 2?

Oh, I guess Tingle is a Tumblr character too. I guess all blogs are Tumblr too since the concept obviously never existed before Tumblr.

Wait, you can't kill enemies? It's a platformer, what are you supposed to do in it?

Norway?

What fucking happened to this place?

When I migrated, it was like a far less stupid, if slow, 4/v/ where you could actually talk about vidya.

Now the place is plagued with dumb bullshit shitposting, maymay circlejerking, and incessant bitching and moaning about games people hate/haven't played.

As I understand it (based on the steam trailer), you can't DIRECTLY attack yourself, but your partners can, and you position them, and from the trailer, it looks like you can play reflect tennis with enemies as well, so I assume that is another method of fighting enemies

what does this mean

All I'm going to bother with is "pixelshit"
The pixel art is detailed and well done. It is far from pixelshit. Pixelshit refers to lazy "retro" garbage that incompetent indie devs that who don't know what they are doing shit out.
I don't care if you have some personal distaste in pixel art, but don't make a buzzword out of this term. We have enough of this going around.

He might not be created as a pandering, because tumblr didn't fucking exist back then, but explicitly gay character with huge red nose from nintendo game is still a source of inspiration to the entirety of that shithole to this day.

Now on topic of whether all huge red noses on every single character in owlboy, a game developed in modern era - NO FUCKING WAY IT IS, right?

Come on. Tumblr noses is a thing. Not every character in Zelda has a red nose. On the other hand, Tumblr adds red noses to every character. Even characters that didn't originally have red noses. That's how you spot them

wha th fug

To be fair, 4/v/ is so full of shills, is ridiculous. No body seems to care either, and that kills most of the criticism toward games. One of the things I like about here is how cynic they are about new games and how paranoid/cautious anons are about shills.
Still, I believe that sharing a link with the game should solve the shill problem, even if the person is indeed a shill, you have the game for free and he or his company gets no money.

user, Tingle is not gay. Japan barely have a grasp of western conception of homosexuality, in fact, if something he is mocking homosexuality, like most japanese depictions of homosexuality. Maybe Nutendo would pander SJW and LGTB, but Tingle was born before that.

This kind of reasoning is really damn retarded, and a fallacy. Red noses was usually a technique to express a really white character, since white people usually have more blush skins, specially in cold places. Pic related is a Chilean comic of 2006 while Tumblr was founded on 2007. Only because Tumblr over uses it doesn't mean is either bad or born there, and a character with red noses is by no mean a fail safe identification of Tumblr art..
I keep repeating it and I keep getting mad at it.

It's not one or two things, that's for certain. A whole lot of things play into the mess we have now.

Nigger
Nigger listen
The reason tumblr nose is ridiculous is because they focus the redness on the nose when the human face normally has a slight red tint on the middle of it. That is, the cheeks and the nose has we have mentioned.
Tumblr dumps this because they think WOW NICE RED PAINT LET ME USE IT TOO and forget to tint the middle of it because they often don't notice.

You can even see this in image 2 and 3 you just posted. Yes, I realize that the page 2-3 of the 3rd is a blush, but its still pronounced on the first panel.
In short, you're a faggot.

So what? People doesn't have eyes as big as anime and people still like it. Is art, is 2D, it doesn't have to depict humans realistically unless that's what you want to do, and techniques like that are usually tools to emphasise things, so it's usually exaggerated. Not only that, is also used to contrast some things, and while I admit sometimes is terribly used, it's still nothing more than a tool, that Tumblr happens to use really bad.

In pic related he even uses the red in other parts of the body, to emphasise heat. This also happens in Anime a lot, at least anime with detailed art, although not as pronounced.

So what that and are just shitposts by someone that doesn't really know what he's talking about. You use proper examples to justify your shitty tumblr art being "fine".

Go find a example of OP's game using the technique properly and then we can talk about it being tumblr or not, scam artist.

Now that's just bullshit
You're forgetting the part where the social media history of every member of the developer is trawled to ensure there is no stink of MUH SOSHUL MARGSIZZUMS near the title

I can't give a rat's ass about OP's game using red noses or not But by OP's pic, it looks a lot like Wind Waker. My problem is when someone uses "Tumblr something" to define a whole technique or tool, let alone a tool that have been used YEARS before Tumblr even existed and I mean hundred of years before, and they pretend Tumblr somehow owns it all. Sure, some Tumblr artists uses it, so what? It existed long before them, and it's still good even after they used it, even when they use it wrong.
You're just a fag, and I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at your retarded fallacies. I bet that if pointillism became famous on Tumblr you faggots will say "Pointillism? BUT THAT'S TUMBLR!"

I've played it for a bit I know the guys behind it so I kinda had to try it.

Right now the best part is the soundtrack and art, which is pretty much one of the best I've seen. The combat is currently a bit boring, too easy and slow but idunno it might pick itself up later on based on what I've seen.

One of the insane things is the fucking level of detail, there's so much I can't understand why they spent their time putting in.

Guys, reading this thread I just have to say, come on. Don't use the term pixelshit on games like these. Shit on something else from it if you want, but this kind of pixel art not only took a lot of effort and skill, but it does actually look amazing if you aren't a complete plebian. Does everyone suddenly forget about how great some pixel games look? Do you want flash graphics instead?

It's ok for protag to have a beak-looking nose, since he's a bird of some kind.
It's ok for one character, probably old fat dude who hits the bottle a bit too often to have a fat red nose.
But every single character in this game has big red nose. And protag's beak is inexpllicably red.
They are fucking tumblr noses, and denying that is absolutely ridiculous.
I wouldn't be surprised if plot is about tolerance and fantasy racism and all that bullshit.

Backgrounds are good, I give you that, but characters and animations are all pretty meh.

OP, what was the guy's name? The one from the picture.

a)They didn't invent this technique, true, but they invented fucking it up and spread it through the website, a fact you're trying to avoid right now.
b)I can call tumblr "tumblr" if I want.
c)Fuck off

Thanks to this thread I can't unsee the noses.
Thanks fags.

I fucking love the danm shop minion's sprite work, it reminded me a lot of prinny.

youtu.be/_LkvZhbxVzs?t=2371

Reminded? That's literally fucking prinny.

Why did it took

10 YEARS

to make this when they had 5 people in the team? Two programmers, two art fags, and a musician. They say that it's "just" 5 people, but compared to other one man or two man teams I think this took just way too long. How long does it take to beat the game, does it justify 10 years of working on it?

lazy tumblr devs.
Konjak takes his sweet ass time with a game that should be made in a goddamn year too.

Good luck, you could post all the Haydee porn in the world and they'll still yell that

Nearly 30 canuckistan dollars I'll buy it when it's on fucking sale

Its nearly twice the price of Shovel Knight, its far more expensive than when DUST came out along with Risk of Rain, Megasphere, Shovel Knight and even Mercenary Kings which was the first "Holy fuck $20+ for an indie game?" shock to the steam indie community

Why is this vastly more expensive than DUST when it has a tenth the polish or mechanics involved? And both games took almost a decade to make!

Yeah, I'll wait for a sale then I'll buy it

shill thread

I thought this was vaporware.

Is it actually complete or does it feel like an extended demo?

Credits showed at least 8 names "In memory of." Not sure if they were devs or relatives but if it was the former I can see why.
I beat it in 7 hours
I enjoyed it. I definitely don't think that it should have taken 10 years to finish but it's a solid platformer nonetheless.
