He did it again!

He did it again!
Fuck I have never been so hyped in my life!

This indie style of graphics needs to stop

Huff some zyklon you fucking kike.

Honestly, it doesnt look that bad to me.

everyone moves like they're constipated

Looks like Harvest Moon crossed with Viva Pinata with Pokemon Battles.

I'll pirate it, nothing more. I won't even discuss it here and give them publicity.

who is "he", explain faggot

And this is how Holla Forums dies.

Is the sole marketing strategy of this just being cute?

I thought that was Umaru in the thumbnail.

The sole marketing strategy of this is just (1) and done

Making threads constantly about bad games is worse than making no threads, as bad games invite bad users here. No threads invites no users :^)

No, Holla Forums dies by you not giving any fucking information and baiting debate into this thread so you can try and fail to shoot it down with your shill tactics. Post information about the game or go die in a well. This game looks comfy as fuck tbh but if you actually like it then you need to talk about it instead of fire-and-forgetting it

So it's noby noby pokemon? I assume that's the "he" you're referring to because it looks like his style.

Double Fine's logo shows up at the end
I fucking wish this was Noby Noby

well there goes any good will I harbored towards the game.

Dude, it's just Harvestmon

That's cute as fuck.

Well fuck me, it seems i've been posting on a dead board for some time now. Tell Shitface I said hi, by the way.

honestly it looked really fucking cute like a cross between noby noby and harvest moon sort of but then doublefine fucked everything up i want to die i want someone to come into my house and fucking shoot me

This looks boring.

Good thing I won't remember it by then.

What is this viva vegetable?

It never will for 2 reasons.

Most indie-devs have a budget of around $0. So they go for the most simplistic option. The only alternative is to invent some style that goes perfect with your gameplay, like infiniminer did

A lot of games have shaders that make this shit come together effortlessly.

The idea of having tons of little guys running around is neat. You're always getting limited to small numbers of whatevers.

At least I put a fucking webm mp4, instead of embeding.


Its funny, I think most of their old trailers they put their logo at the start, but not in this one, I guess they wanted to crush all hope at the end.

But he went (2)!

(Pokemon x Viva Pinata) / tumblr graphics = who gives a fuck

Wow. Looks ok, but it's doublefine so it's yohoho for me.

That's not good enough. You often need to tl;dw things for people in the summary. Stop complaining and start doing. And there's always next time, don't worry.

Nigger, its one fucking minute of video, not even five.

welcome to Holla Forums

Fuck liberals. They ruin everything good.

...

Any examples of moderate and right artsyle?

The game got to sell, user!

I hate how these people are killing the entire pastel color palette

I should start a patreon

user he's got a point, all the fucking tumblr artists use pastel colors with noodle arms. The style is only aligned with an ideology because those who make that art are overwhelmingly lefitst.

The problem is that you gave no description or anything. If you posted a youtube embed with "wow it's so cool" as the op you'd get banned for being a shill without anyone (let alone the mod) even looking at it. The only reason why you didn't get banned is because you posted an mp4 instead.
Put some fucking effort into your posts.


kill me them.

This shit made me realize that I'm dead inside and I have been for several years.

...

Not exactly, but it's a general consensus that works typically perpetuated WITHIN LEFTIST SITES AND COMMUNITIES (Not that the artists themselves are confirmed leftists, but it's likely) prefer to use unorthodox styles, twee freckles and blush, and also some simplistic features here and there. Leftists also tend to lean towards content with this style as well as simplistic features like round faces as well as lack of borders and outlines around features.
The ironic part comes in where people talk about anime, moeshit in particular, because it shares most if not all of the same red flags as everyone hates, just in a different style of drawing.


THIS IS NICE BOARD

SAD!

I didn't post Overwatch, I posted pence, you super-aspie. How dare you shame our great lord, the Electrocutioner?

Nice numbers, but I can't find a fuck to give about whatever that trailer was for.

...

Kill yourself.

...

...

The only thing I remember are OP posts being edited to add a webm or an archive link, but not getting banned, most of the time faggots just shitpost until someone uploads a webm.

It pokemon but even more fucking shitty wasn't sun and moon bad enough.

No

That art style looks like garbage, and why does everyone have a tumblrnose?

...

Probably because it's made by a major SJW studio with a San Fran office.

And dot eyes that are miles apart on expressionless round heads. It's not just the nose, it's legit tumblr style.

Which is worse, Double Fine or Chucklefish?

I'm very sorry for your pet criticism to be dashed this violently, user.

...

It looks like it might be worth the pirate. There doesn't seem to be much of anything to do though.

What is with SanFran indie fags trying to copy Harvest Moon now?

Huffing Zyklon doesn't even kill you unless you do it for a very long time. It's a pesticide after all, meant for killing insects, not people.


Same here. It was probably intentional.

...

not a fan of the music

Reminds me of this

They finally got wise enough not to put their logo at the beginning.

Im having a monkey paw moment. Where I wished everyone would move past pixel shit, and go to low poly PS1 era stuff. But the people doing it are San Fran hipster cucks. Making this cringe ass shit of MEMES, self inserts and stale pop culture references.

It's Someone set UP us the bomb, not Someone set US up the bomb.

I want everyone who was a part of this game to die of throat cancer.

...

Games are finally getting good again at least.

I'd say it looks more like PS2 era models, or maybe it's because all the shaders.

take your 50c a post get the fuck off my Holla Forums you god damn kike shills

...

Pick one, but seriously try the demo to see how bad it is. An user did a livestream of it some time ago.

Why does it look like a 3D Tumblr drawing?

I thought that's what it was before watching it to the end.

I genuinely think only 8/v/ is aware of the existence of this piece of crap

The first trailer has 93k view and the third one has 67k, but the Kotaku video has only 5k and GameXplain has the most views from a different channel(meaning not the creator's channel) with only 16k

Goddamnit Holla Forums, I really thought this was gone by nice, then DOUBLEFINE, fuck me.

uhh hold on

If I could maintain a fulltime job and still get an extra couple hundred bucks a month for doing nothing, I'd love that.. But this is no way to make a living.

...

i never would have guessed

meh let them makes the games they want, If the Market wants San Fran hipster cuck games then this game will succeed. Otherwise it'll be forgotten within a week.

I always knew this little faggot was a vegetable.

I'm having a hard time finding something in this that is worthy of any hype at all.
This looks and feels like complete shit.

oh look, its like a natural sex shop. time to get fucking!

What about it? And why do you sound like a shill?

Might as well, even Jim is doing it.

I'm sick of this "quirky" pastel colored indie vomit every game is doing now.

Fuck this industry, nobody wants to make an honest game anymore. Guess I'll do it myself.

u aint gonna do shit

Watch me.

go on then, where you going to post updates?

I fucking knew it

>looks like that adventure time game but without what makes it good the porn

this whole indie aesthetic is creeping me out

where's that one from?

deleted scene, youtube it

Probably the dev threads here.


Unaired WP scene. "I am a cop." It should be on youtube.

well that's a pretty big design flaw

...

...

what is this gay ass tumblr shit

It actually looks fun enough to pirate.

It looks like a hipster blend of Pikmin, Farmville, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing.

not only that, i remember a few anons wishing for a new monster collecting game, an animal crossing for PC and a non-shit harvest moon for PC. This is a massive monkey paw

So double fine run out of ideas thst they are ripping off other games to make one shitty game?

It's not even worth the thread

Looks cute.
Day 1 pirate

...

It never stood a chance. It looks like shit, but it's not a bad idea.
I hope the youtube video is raided with 3.3m jokes.

If only this shit were being made by someone slightly different.

That's more funny than anything. It's like they went to tumblr, looked at all the most popular hashtags, and threw them together into a game.

It's just pure, unadulterated product and pandering. There's no love or creativity in there. They took adventure time, pokemon, and pikmin and just mashed them together.

...

Is that Umaru?

Yes, but anime is built around the soft styles and accents such as blushes and character features (freckles, etc.). For lack of a better term, 'tumblr art' just slaps it on.

god dammit. every time i see that vid the shitty music starts playing inside my head whole day. I fuggen hate it

The trailer is entertaining. I liked the music and the terrible walks.

KYS

You do realize that it's much easier to coat high-poly models in simplistic cel-shaded textures than make low-poly models with excellently-detailed textures, right? Just wanted to explain this tired "trend" in indie games.

Considering that there isn't a scrap of gameplay displayed, despite being footage taken from in-"game", this is pretty blatantly a game designed for women. Or, what they think women want to play, based on their own prejudiced stereotypes. Soft bigotry of low expectations, and all that.

In really any other context, I couldn't give less of a shit about it. Not my thing, but there's no reason why a "game" like this shouldn't exist for those who might enjoy it. My problem is that it's being developed by a virtue signalling faggot for the sole purpose of building up his SJW cred and likely using the money raised in good faith for the development of Psychonauts 2 to fund it.

Not that I give much of a fuck about Psychonauts either, but it's the principal of the thing. You don't have to like Homostuck either to know The Odd Gentlemen fucked them royally by using the funds they put up for their own game to make King's Quest: Tumblr Edition.

Remember when a thick beard on a girl was a source of comedy arising from it's absurdity? Now it's a progressive virtue badge, offering representation, and you're told to look up to such brave pioneers.

...

What the fuck is this shit, it looks awful. Stupid hipster tumblr pastel buzzword bullshit. I need to hate things that are different to fit in, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Of course my hopes had to be shot down. Of course.

but that game isn't filled with soulless low-quality animations

Are you serious? Have you ever played any Katamari game? Every person and object in the game moves around like it's on a skateboard with shitty stock looping animations.

At least MLP has iconic designs and strong colors, unlike this generic low-contrast pastel shit.

theres not so much they can do wit the art style
i also forgot to mention it was made by japan

now im not gonna say the game mentioned in OP would be good if it were made in japan, but i will mention that i think it'd be different were it japanese

I swear that music reminds me of a particular song from a vidya soundtrack, but I can't place what it is.


How far up your asshole do you have to be to come up with a name like that?

Jesus cheezus, the idea of a Animal Crossing clone is actually untapped territory and a decent concept get on it /agdg/fags, but then I had to watch the animation and the Starjew Valley ripoff gameplay.

Of course Schafer would fund this.

The worst part of this… thing is that I can see some actually really cool ideas in that trailer, and they're all wasted on a hipster-circlejerk Earthbound ripoff. Like, what a fucking shame. Maybe it could've been a good game if it's sense of style wasn't so fucking horrible.

Katamari has unique and interesting gameplay with a wonderful OST to match.
The game is challenging enough and it offers enough content to justify a purchase.

Most indie games have uninspiring gameplay with mediocre OSTs, are very very easy due to accessibility and never last more than a few hours at most.

it's one of the mario leitmotifs
pretty sure it's most prominent in that beach stage on that one mario kart game and the super mario galaxy theme

Can we post ponies again?

Looks cute. Might be worth pirating. Doublefine is probably just publishing, which is reason enough not to buy, but the game might be alright.

...

...

You know I had an idea for a game like this once, basically a food-themed Pokemon rip-off where you have to grow the Mons, and make them "evolve" by cooking them into meals, maybe add in some "fusion" to create the powerful fine-dining stuff. Goofy things like that.

And it's a shit idea, but at least it wouldn't have been THIS shit.

It could be fun if it was made by someone who isn't a hipster.

...

The art style looks like something straight out of Tumblr.

Possibly, but it'd likely have to be an outright parody game because I wouldn't know how to make a cute monster that looked like a taco that people could earnestly like.

Maybe just throw in cute anime girls as the protagonists or something.


It probably is. I'm sure the developer has a Tumblr account full of shitty doodles SOMEWHERE.

Can someone please explain when did this style of extremely simple faces (Particularly the one that's a " :I " with a serif I, kind of a "chubby face" I guess) and noodle arms on absolutely everything became the norm? Was it adventure time?

You can just draw a smiley on a taco. Or make him a stereotypical mexican.

You are very much fucking not.

I'm pretty sure it was Adventure Time, yes.


I could do both, but it wouldn't be very creative design.

Though yes if I did do it all the foods would be stereotypes, if they talked. And perhaps the category of food they are (soup, salad, entree, dessert, etc.) would determine their abilities combined with the ingredients and style…

Yes, in fairness, the concept of a monster-battling game where you create the monsters isn't a bad one. Though maybe something more standard, like magic and alchemy and crap, would be more acceptable to people. And then the hero could be a cute witch girl. Everyone loves cute witch girls, and I do mean everyone.

What about the thing the user above you posted? Food with extremely realistic faces?

Hey doublefine, is the left is so well liked then why is Trump in office? Checkmate atheists.

Because the ebil Russian alt-right patriarchy hacked the elections. You're a bit behind, aren't you?

Wait, I thought the cold war ended.

I mean in the broader historical sense I guess from an era where hard left was "maybe we shouldn't beat the [minority group] so hard at the weekly beatings" but that's trying to apply historical definitions of right and left to the modern one, nevermind that it's the modern American one.

The right is clasical art, the left is shitty reform at (like "DA DA" which was politically left because they protested people like hitler burning non-traditional pieces)

I'd need to get a scope on the political leanings of the artists in question before I even attempted to refute or confirm the notion, though Dada being leftist in sentiment (indeed having ties to the radical-left of the time) is something I already know about. Guess I get to read up about art when I get back from work later.

It didn't, Trump totally wants a nuclear with Russia but he's also a Russian shill.

The whole nuclear?
