There are people that picked Gregg over Bea to hang out with

I've been wondering about picking this "game" apart but I realized I don't really know much about writing characters. Are there any good frameworks for analyzing or designing fictional characters and their traits?

You clearly didn't play it.

Why do fags keep posting shit about this awful game that nobody but tumblr played? Do they think anyone knows what they're talking about beyond the two shit webms that are constantly posted about this game? Don't tell me you fucks willingly consumed this garbage.

I haven't seen anyone in here talking about how the game shoves socialism down your throat in at least five different occasions

...

FUCK. OFF.

end yourself

reminder this is a blatant SJW ancap+antifa meme game, and to report OP for shilling it

...

This game was a mistake.

this game is fucking shit trash and so is OP. I fucking hope he gets raped by a rhino and is forced to live in the forest without any human contact. fuck you. fuck you hard.

if you dont know what to say then dont try, you will embarass yourself.

There are no good lewds for this game, so it must be garbage.

why does this game keep getting shilled here?
here's the fucking ost now stop fucking talking about the game

what am I looking at?

this isn't video games.

this should have been /thread.

Why would you choose to spend your time being autistic?

Solid plan, broseph.

He's saying don't try without a plan, not don't try.

And I am asking if anybody knows results of previous planning. It's part of research process.

He mentions it. Apparently this game has strong writing.

All is lost.
Anyways, there were archives of the last 3 threads lying around, I'm pretty sure someone examined the characters with a fuck ton of scrutiny.
Your current best shot is comparing climaxes of other narrative based games (like bastion or one of the many telltale games, or even hotline Miami 1-2 story wise) to the climax of this game.
When compared to it's peers this game crumbles like a house of cards.

Just refound the archive links to the first two threads. Skim through them, I guess.
hopefully an user will stream it again, more people need to see how bad it is.

no surprises here, that faggot sucks at video games and additionally has shit taste in vidya.

No, I am not interested in dealing with the overall plot yet. As said, I wanna dig into the characters and figure out good measures for determining if a character is bad or not. I look at Undertale, of which characters were generally quite liked, and I can determine three key aspects that seem to grab people's attention: the characters' acting for their own ambitions, good & relateable facial expressions, and personality quirks. I just need to delve deeper with it.

Bea is the only remotely good thing about this walking sim.

There is an antifa that is immediately after the butt of the joke as nobody agrees with her.
But thats not "signal boosting the right narrative" for the reverse tumblr crowd so that bits cut out. Funny that.

...

i wish i had friends

what the fuck are you talking about

Perhaps he wanted a dubs thread?

Stop shilling.

Wow OP it's like you cannot stop sucking massive amounts of shaft or something. Also, contrary to 99% of this board, I actually really enjoyed watching the game, was pretty cash.

Go fuck yourself on the business of a steak knife.

I came into this thread to make a post like this but I guess I was far too slow. The game really is so overwhelmingly half-assed that it's bordering on being an outright kickstarter scam (sadly a successful one).

I could never understand why someone would make the edited version of this.

for the sake of shitposting, of course.

But why would Yahtzee think the writing is solid? The guy has pretty solid opinions on stories despite his taste in games being questionable.

No clue, honestly. The story is good in theory. The pacing is fine for what it is and the game dispite it's numerous flaws does manage to have a comfy atmosphere. The problem is every plot critical moment is just bad. The mines climax just ends without player interaction, not even a choice, really. Your friends "breakdowns" during their story arcs doesn't make them any more or less likable, your character never grows as a person, and the self described "cosmic horror" is basically shoehorned in.
The game never conveys to the player of anything through animation, execpt when it's obvious. Your character looks and acts exactly the same if she has a headache, for example. Everything relating to the plot is only conveyed through dialog, there's no hidden plot relevant details anywhere in the game, dispite seeming like there is during the newspaper looking scene which heavily implies that the "ghost" is merely hallucinations caused by mine gas, but nope, the cosmic horror is real and being worshipped by a "cult of dads" who are sacrificing the misfits of the town in an attempt to keep the town from facing disaster and trying to make the town better.
They even offer to have you join them because you are a part of the town and the deity has been contacting you since before the game even started, yet this aspect isn't expanded upon as the game ends 5 minutes later without any choice in the matter.
There is additonally hints that the god of the forest is involved through some bullshit shoehorned in at the end to make the game seem deeper, but it doesn't really play out in the story, except for maybe in theoryfagging.
None of these seem like aspects of the game that yahtzee would like, as he's the kind of person who would mention that a game jerked him off for 6 hours and didn't even have a reasonable climax, maybe he had lower expectations because it's an indie game, I don't know. Yahtzee has been taking a nosedive quality wise.

By the way I fucking hate how in order to explain why this game's shit you have to explain the entire fucking plot.

Who wants to bet the next thread is going to be "ironic shilling"?
Mark really should just fucking gas these threads, nobody cares about it and those who do are just shitting on it because it's awful and disappointing in a way that makes them want to fix it.

Maybe we could mod this game to be better, or make a sequel for it :-)

Nobody wants to though. We even have the fucking source code so modding is possible and people still can't be asked.
Just let it die or be the start of the change you want to see.
I'm sure if you offer a proof of concept you'll get a crack team of shitposters and ideas guys, maybe a writefag or three.

There's the code for the dialogue engine, but not the actual source code of the game, right?

Don't know, the pirated windows version doesn't include anything of the sort. I they had a GDC conference about how open source made this game better, and I've heard anons say the game does come with source code.
I don't know what to believe, honestly. It's not advertised, and if it is im not looking hard enough.
