Omori

Are you ready for Undertale 2.0; electric boogaloo, Chink Edition?

but will it have Genesis?

Will probably have some other hamfisted band to it.

Then it's not worth anyone's time.

I bet they'll use the Keyboard Jew just to try and copy Undertale.

Can't wait for a comfy new thread-chain that'll eventually devolve into nothing but the shitposters and attention whores once there's nothing left to talk about and eventually everybody chimps the fuck out, blames the tiniest imagined slight literally anywhere on Holla Forums on OMORISHITS GET OFF MY BOAAAARRDDDDDD and wasn't around for when threads were good but decides the whole thing is cancer anyways

Also unfunny Genesisposters or whatever equivalent crops up

Phil Collins > Peter Gabriel tbh fam

I kickstarted this because I was really into YN and Earthbound for a while. I wish I had my money back.

This is RPG Maker garbage, at least Undertale had some effort put into it and used a slightly better engine (GMS)

Oh, it's shit.

I thought this came out a while back? I know I've seen it around Holla Forums

God that color pallete is painful. I cannot focus my eyes on any part of it

But user, it's retro and pixelated! It has to remind of earthbound and yumme nikki, you HAVE to love it!!

WHEN is this shit actually going to release? Is this going to be a 24+ hour long game?

I'm starting to miss the days of when weebs used to use RPG Maker for making shitty anime games and shitty Yume Nikki fangames. Now they're trying to make the next Undertale and slapping a fucking price tag on their game.

I think it will be another prog band, maybe Gentle Giant or ELP.

It looks like it might be entertaining. But i just really hope this doesn't end up with undertale fanbase 2.0.

But looking at these aesthetics, I know this prayer will go unanswered

it's a fact

It looks like a shitty and ugly OFF rip-off

Just look at the comments on the video, its dead on arrival.

Honestly, I don't really see how this is a tumblrtale clone rather than an earthbound. It seems to have a lot more effort put into it as well. My only complaint from the trailer is the pixel shit graphics. It would probably be better if it used the drawn style for literally everything in the game, rather than a good half of it.

Also since im working on an indie RPG without a budget on my own, seeing the market flooded with these games and a low-effort literally RPG Maker game getting KS support and lots of attention really discourages me. I'm trying to make some cool shit inspired by AlphaDream's games, my game will probably fade into obscurity if i ever release it.

and what's with all these earthbound clones coming up lately? Omori. Knuckle Sandwich are two i'm thinking of (not counting mother 4)

...

Nope, that looks pretty earthbound inspired with a dash of yume nikki.
That is the Undertale formula.

I do however think you don't need to worry about it gaining any more attention than Suits did.

Drawn style would have been so nice

It doesn't look like Genesis to me so its fucking shit.

Also i finally started my fixing of Undertale
Pic related.

I guess that it has something to do with the resurfacing of popularity (for the worse( of the MOTHER series thanks to YouTube and Underfags (which are responsible for also ruining their own game for everyone else) mixed with the "special snowflake" syndrome of Tumblr and their need to attach themselves to everything that is different or alternative looking.

Shame a different sort of Game Maker was used than what he started with, stuff like replacing images in the "manual" game's folder as you progressed being nixed just so it'd be harder to look at his source-code was fucking dumb.


Nigger I'd fall head over heels for a M&L-like game, post it on Holla Forums when you think it's in a presentable state.

This sort of shit makes me think we should start trying some counter-culture notes or something.
People are flooding the market with games based on depression or a SJW agenda. I found it strange that you could put a agenda as such on a video game but they mange to do it.
But anyways back to my main point. What if we had a games with more important undertones? Forget depressive snowflakes and introverts and progressiveness. A lot of philosophers have said much but they're never know because their messages are never spread through something the public can easily eat. Nietzsche for example made great arguments against hedonists and nihilists, and other materialist philosophies that only exist because nobody cared to kick them out yet, they rest on houses in sand and mud.

Just make the game you want to make instead of "opposite of the SJWs" because the last thing the market needs is another politically-bent game in any direction, even if it comes from a good place. All the depression/SJW games are failing for a good reason you know, the only ones that aren't in recent years (ie Depression Quest) are ones being passed around in some cliques and purposefully being elevated.

I'm sadly not interested in someone who's just going to incorrectly summarize my talking points. Fuck off.

I can't lie I like the minimalistic art style. t's drawing me in

you remind me of a cuntish person I know

Don't beat me up.

Can you tell me about your game, user?

This game will NOT make it big because it does not appeal to my autistic mind which demands that I play games with furry creatures, I see disgusting humans. Also, this game is inspired by Earthbound, but it is too different for me. My autistic mind cannot handle games with any hint of originality to them. I like Earthbound because the humor is so RANDOM! and LE XD MEMETASTIC!

...

You walked right into it being interpreted that way by bringing up le SJWs at all, especially right after talking about counter-culture and then talking about "more important undertones". Retread what you said so my simple mind can understand it because I can't figure out what the fuck you're going for if not that.

Ok, i'll bite
You never played it

It's b8, m8.

I'm gonna be honest, at this time the depression angle resonates with people, specifically around teenager to young adult age, and likely to some people here.

You need an emotional hook in education, as a marketing student I know a few things about this sort of shit, you NEED an emotional hook, because people SPEAK the language of emotion.

Ben Shapiro went on about this in one of his talks, but something he reccomended doing often is using emotionally charged speech littered with imagery.

Instead of saying "so and so is forcing people to do said thing" you say "so and so is PUTTING A GUN TO THE HEAD of people to force them to do said thing"

Honestly none of us know shit all about Omori's plot, for all we know it could be espousing anything from deep and complex philosophy centered around Nietzche's works or fucking pop culture references, no one knows. But that's not the point, the point of it all is the hook, the trailer, the marketing.

If you want to attract people, speak the language of emotions. Notice how the plot of Omori and it's espoused points, if any, are obscured in that trailer. You're a guy, you might be having adventures in a dream world with imaginary friends, and you fight "scary" monsters ranging from real pictures of objects to teeth in the dark.

Anything beyond that is obscured.

If you want to put to paper your philosophy and educate the masses with that idea of logic, you first need to hook on what they don't lack, irrationality and emotion. You need to make faggy emotional trailers, you need to appeal to that.

If you want to fight back, use their hook tactics and blindside the player in the real game with the deep philosophies you cherish.

If you want to upset their cultural hold, you must learn to play the game of emotion, in order to educate the masses on logic. You must target who they have kidnapped from the realms of normalcy and sanity.

So it naturally repels normalfags? Might be decent then, thanks for telling us about it.

don't charge people money for it and I won't

What's the policy on "free game, but hey there's a donation button here"

No DLC charge, no bullshit beyond that. I would like extra money, honest.

Can you give this 4 minute .webm, well, 4 minutes? Do you think this one has a good "emotional hook" by noting violence, or do people need something stronger?

get a job and don't expect your hobby to pay until you can produce something people want to actually pay for

being a beggar makes you a whore

I have a job, which I why I said "extra money". I won't take your advice to heart, since you're obviously biased towards your own dwindling wallet, which wouldn't be dwindling if you were the one who got a fucking job, you ingrate.


Propaganda like that doesn't work when you're trying to sell something in video game form. This is made to anger, not the feel good type. It's too logical and kids would get bored.

You need something like this to spread this sort of info

(Enter Hero, Weak Kid, Villain)
the Hero does happy, irrelevant adventure shit for the first act, just a note, this is the drawing in phase to get someone hooked.

Hero then meets villain, villain bullies Weak Kid (which could be a group of people or even a whole town), Villain does crimes related to evils you want to highlight (in your case sending soldiers to houses to kill those who can't pay, or requiring other things of them, like say something like blood and the villain's a vampire, or the neighbors are vampires, etc etc) Hero calls it out, Hero stops it.

Something like this video doesn't consider that the only people that will see it tend to be people who already hold views. If you want to spread THIS message, implication along with something to hook someone else is needed, like actually being fun and engaging.

In order to reach the other side that aren't very far in it, you first need to 1. Hook, 2. Introduce Fun, 3. Insert Message, 4. Don't let the message consume the work and 5. Be subtle by exhibiting the consequences of actions without naming names.

on the 5th one, a good example is the X-Men comics, where the X-Men are persecuted and can thus be used as a commentary on any "persecuted" people in society to appeal to them.

Off-topic, honestly the left sucks at propaganda because they lack subtlety. Also because their actual ideas aren't practical or moral, that's the biggest barrier.

And by the way, when I say "kids", I mean kids and the adultt children that are being bred by the current school system. An adult would not be your target audience for that message, since adults already know the consequences of communism and socialism.

You should consider killing yourself.

itch.io would be your route in the case. You'll get $20 at best, and that's if it isn't shit.

...

I want to cum on Omoris tits and hold her hand and tell her everything will be daijoubu, you little weeb shit

You should consider getting a job, especially one that requires that you do physical work. The first week will be hell but you'll feel a lot less agitated after you rest your feet. You sound like a dude who needs to get out once in a while. Because it's obvious that you don't. I don't need a gym membership anymore, just working carts at a superstore part time, and I've never been in better shape. I can seriously say that I can punch out a motherfucker.


I'll also advertise it here and eventually everywhere I can eventually, and it'll be free. Donation button will be there, though.

Itch has pay-what-you-want. No need for a donate button to begin with, but just know that the majority of people will not pay by principle. If you're just making it for fun, it should be at no loss to yourself.

Also thanks for recommending this to me, I didn't know that it existed.
