Shovelware developer that still get praise despite their bad titles greatly outnumbering their decent ones

I like them for mighty switch force

Boy do these fuckers produce shovelware, they're like a shovelware gatling gun by the sheer amount of it they make
most of it is still top tier even by shovelware standards, and when they make some actual vidya they sure hit the nail in the head
and they've made plenty of actual vidya, it's just outnumbered by the massive amount of shovelware they've made

as a dev they're breedy gud
even if they dipped their toes into kikestarte jewry, at least they kinda delivered on the promises

I think you're suppose to say "Hideo Kojima" since WayForward actually make games.

Nice cherrypicking of not so shit games.

How many of their titles have you played?

I don't care, their good games are really good and have a lot of love put into them. take Double Dragon Neon for example, top tier soundtrack.

Holy shit the tryhards in this place. You can be predicted and manipulated by marketers like fucking clay

DDN was fucking horrible aside from the soundtrack.

Everyone here should know wayforward from shantae alone.

Daily reminder every dev makes shitty games. Even nintendo.

It's just the OP and a single (1) you retard.

mummy cummies and half genie hero were good

Delete a sentence and the entire thing becomes a gargle mess. RIP quads.

OP my 5 minute of research has shown that they are responsible for a lot of the better games of licensed shovelware. Ones that are actually fun. They also made some shitters too.

What exactly is your criteria that you are shooting here? Between license games and all the Shantae, and Switch force games, and without actually counting every single game because, fuck you, they have a pretty reasonable number of gud gaemz. At the very least above average.

no shit.

DELETE THIS!

That adventure time game is absolutely trash, have you played it?

What I don't understand is why their Mummy game is so unpopular. It has amazing art, animations, and takes gameplay from every platformer in the last decade. I don't get why only like a couple hundred people bought it. It even looks way better than Shantae.

Oh man, look at this shit developer's catalogue. Look at all these licensed games they made to make ends meet. Aren't they terrible?

you are going from bad to worst, user.

It was decent, too easy and a little boring.

Yes, I beat it. It was easy as fuck, but enjoyable. Been some time since I played it though. Expected the worse, so thats probably my expectations set the bar pretty low.

saved. I like going for read space. Didn't know people actually preferred single space paragraphs that have a different line of thought to the previous paragraph. Seems like that would create confusing walls of text.

>Complains about reddit spacing >while reddit spacing lmfao look at this fucken redditor

No shit? Why would I play or mention a licence game that I know is shit?

But those games are actually good because Treasure is a decent developer. What point are you trying to make here? If you haven't played any of the Wayforward shovelware then you opinion is null.

not being called reddit is more important than readability

fuck off flag

You can have something be readable without adding empty space between every line.

Fuck

off

you

try

hard

faggots

triggered

you

all

lmao

It was a little boring but it was far above garbage.

This! :^)

...

I wouldn't be separating my paragraphs then. Do I just cobble together sentences like a mongoloid? Single spacing is more of an editing tool for your paragraphs, since you don't know what the other person's monitor width is set you.5 sentences to a paragraph, give or take 2 sentences. Any less creates horrible empty space, any more makes walls of block texts. Exceptions for sentences with a shit ton of words, or a bunch of multi letter words.

Sure. But what you just typed just now is perfectly readable and doesn't look like it was formatted for the short bus kids.

I do not know who this is.
I've heard of Shantae, but from what I can tell people only play those games to see a half-naked brown girl. Otherwise they look like unremarkable platformers.

Their games have always been mediocre, at worst. The Barbie Musketeers game they made was a decent platformer, though easy. What's it like having so much autism that you need to go out of your way to regularly shit on a game dev whose largest sin is making mediocre licensed games? Did they wrong you in some way? Are you upset that most people here like a dev that you don't? Are you from tumblr and upset they unashamedly put lots of fanservice in their original titles and are successful?

It would if the paragraphs were long. But your paragraphs were a single line or two, each. Your original post was perfectly legible, because it was three lines total.

Have you graduated High School, yet? Or even elementary school? You sound like you're just spouting the basic formatting rules they taught you there. You don't have to follow those rules to the letter in the real world.

...

Checkem

congratulations youre retard

True, but that didn't really have a lot of text.

Its all I know! I went for a stem degree, not writing or literature. My only experience is tech writing courses. Which cemented making the most easiest readable text for the layman or else he ain't gonna read the manual, if he even bother to pick it up in the first place.

nah man, I've been legitimately curious what curious about that empty space for a while since I'll see some spurging out about it to extreme length. Sometimes its valid, sometimes it seems nitpicky, and seemed to have derailed many threads. I should stop now.

He was only talking about Shantae.

yeah, you sure cant read
yes, he is implying that shantae is the only game wayforward have under their belt and that is the only reason they have fans. showing his ignorance about the company

You should have realized, from general experience of just living past high school, that those kind of rules were just there to teach the basics of formatting, like training wheels. What's important isn't the number of sentences in a paragraph, but the number of lines it takes up. This amount differs depending on where the paragraph is written. Here, it can take five sentences just to wrap to the next line, unless you're viewing the site on a small screen. This should have been a logical conclusion you came to, yourself, through general experience typing things up. You shouldn't need someone to specifically teach you this.

So many wrong overtly defensive assumptions and you call me autistic.

First sentence, he says he has no idea who they are, therefore he has no knowledge of their library.
Now he says he's heard of Shantae. Given his previous statement, it logically concludes he never learned of the developers of Shantae, and probably did not have enough interest to seek the information out.
Part of the same sentence, so he's talking about the same subject (Shantae). Given his experience with Shantae is probably just threads on this board, given he's here now and he's only "heard" of the games, he's probably mostly just seen people post about how much they want to fuck Shantae.

No, he directly said it's the only game of theirs he's heard of.
No, he said all he can tell, from his admittedly limited experience, that people only care about Shantae for the girl.
He plainly stated he knows nothing of the company. He intentionally admitted his ignorance in the very first sentence of his only post.

I can't wait for saving a half nake brown grill and Double Dragon Neo. I have also heard that Alfred J Quack's nigger girl friend is also and Duck Tales remastered. She is butt naked all the time, like that infamous general from Liberia.

And Shantae was all what he knew. OP and the people agreeing to him are blurping Bullshit. Have Beam and Bearknife stolen halfcuck's brain for free or why do you think they are so fucking stupid?

Yup. You should. Plebbit spacing is an effect from using it for way to long. If a native does it, its usually because he can't see how long the text is actually is from his quick reply box. Don't forget the fact, that the rules for writing technical documentations in easy language which are will be printed on paper are fucking irrelevant on an image board. I miss the times when people where perfectly happy with posting crap like "Pls shop I have no penis in!"

You sound defensive here, Mr. (((8))).

Dubs.

Nothing indicated that user was agreeing with OP, though. He was just sharing his limited knowledge of the one thing in the OP he recognized.

How so?

wayforward is a very middling studio and even their good games are nothing special.

How erudite do these statements sound to you?

Then why is the original Shantae considered a classic here? Why handing a remake of a beloved classic to them? Was Capcom fucking stoned when they picked Wayforward for the job?

Nice catch 22

I don't know why Holla Forums likes shantae, I've played the games and found them really boring. I think there's a hundred other far better or more interesting side scrollers.

...

Someone here is waysalty

Mystik Belle was pretty good and so is the Mighty Switch Force games.
The only reason I still care for Wayforward is because they seem to be the only competent company left that can do decent 2D games, even when they are far from the best

yeah, sure thing mate

OP is a fag
Check dubs
Thnx

The original is better.

But its part of the reality. Unless you can't argue those things without 22 layers of Irony and a smug anime girl, you shouldn't go after one of the few studios we still like. Otherwise, you look like a massive fag.

Ever played the original? It was very impressive for Gameboy Color. It has tight and original gameplay, good graphics for the system and a OK story with memorable Characters. What else is it supposed to do, giving you a titjob for beating it?

Yeah because DmC totally didn't happen.

...

You're spouting bullshit because you're emphasizing the projects of theirs they put the minimum professional effort into, while downplaying the projects they actually had some passion for, simultaneously claiming some of those titles as shit without giving any arguments as to why they're shit. You're trying very hard to convince everyone they're shit, while not posting any arguments of substance beyond "they make licensed titles!".

Also, I know you've done this shit multiple times. Just because everyone is anonymous doesn't mean you can't be recognizable. Assautist has a reputation for a reason. You have some kind of vendetta, or you're being contrarian to get angry replies.

Sure, and Maui Mallard on Sega and SNES is better than on PC.

I haven't you fucking mongoloid and you have no proof.

You are comparing apples with oranges.

I agree. I don't really like the "hand-drawn sprites" meme, and that, among other things, is why 1/2 genie hero is an step bellow Pirate's Curse.

I'm also not impressed with the sprite work

I like the little details, specially idle animations and that kind of stuff, for such small sprites, they are really detailed. That's specially true for the GBC game.

The post you replied to was 100% accurate. That dude has a solid handle on reading comprehension and is a good role model.
I knew Shantae was made by this company because it's stated in OP, and because I clicked the link in OP that lists all of the games they've made.

Wrong. If you've been on Holla Forums for long enough you'd know it's because muh dick muh patty wagon

Contrarian spastic detected. How does it feel to be too cool for consensus and posting both points in one post? Can you do more than falling back to a single Trainwreck or can you argue on the basis of the decline of Capcom and how giving Ducktales to Wayforward was part of it?

Your entire Post history is preef that you have some other issues than Wayforward financing their original games with Shovelware.

You seem awfully butthurt mate, chill ;)

When did the term shovelware go from meaning "A game that was quickly and lazily ported to another system" to instead meaning another word for shit game? Excellent games can be shovelware, there were plenty of top tier PC games that the developers just threw on console for a quick cheap buck back in the day.

Believe or not, I am. Say, have you been here since cuckhan has banned the neogaf threads? You sure do act like the worst kind of user from there.

Since people started to speak in memes on the internet or something.

No, I have been here since the Holla Forums days.

Yes, Op. It is and always will be about muhdick. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. It's also about faggy drama, this is why retarded shit like persona (not vidya) sells.

You replied to me again. Addictive, isn't it? Too bad nobody's besides me and the occasional (1) is replying. If you have been here since spring 2015, you should know better by now.

You are right user, SMT is way superior.

And you are still butthurt.

Still here? As implicitly established, you are not exactly what you would call original stock. You can't argue yourself out of paperbag. How could you stand the Holla Forums hordes then? I ain't butthurt don't worry about me. Just safe yourself and close the tab.

I can't read you over all your butthurt.;)

wrong guy brah

Another one. Are you sure you aren't autistic? Replying to me like a crackhead hits his glass pipe sure is something. Protip: Its not the general definition of having a worthwhile conversation.

lol butthurt ;))))

I think you are projecting a bit.

Let me guess? Your argument is still "You are butthurt." This is why you must reply to me. Reminds me of that rat that has light bulb in its skull. It was connected to a wire that goes through its brain. Whenever the lightbulb was on, the rat was happy.

butthurt.lol/

At the speed you hit your happy light switch, it has become pretty tedious. So this one is short. Still on the butthurt train?

Just make out already, (you) two.

lurk moar butthurt fag lmoa

I'm not into pussies.

I didn't click on the link. God knows what it is. Could be a leftover from the GNAA they have set up during the few years they were relevant.

pssst. You are ruining my fun

Just post the porn already.

Everyone already knows you are a fag, OP; no need to confirm it further.

What's the problem?

Shovelware pays the bills, and nobody cares if they pump out movie tie-ins because nobody on this planet earth was ever looking forward to playing The Smurfs 2 for Nintendo DS. It's not something that even HAS an audience, so there's nobody to disappoint. This stuff is for clueless grandmas to buy for christmas presents.
The games they make that actually have any kind of following, are good. So they're good enough.

So long as the shovelware is competent and pays the bills while they produce some good games what is the problem?

That's not really what it meant, either. Shovelware is a term for games "shoveled" out the door for a quick buck. Most licensed titles fit the bill, obviously, but games like the dozens of minigame collections on the Wii also fall under the title. Basically, if it was cheaply made just to have a game out there making money, it's shovelware. Cheap ports are just cheap ports, not shovelware.

But user, they know exactly what people want.

Man there's a whole lot of autism in this thread. If everyone decided to judge a studio solely on the bad games it made, none of us would be playing anything but flavor of the month indieshit. Me personally, I'll play a good game even if Joseph Stalin and his jolly Jew pals made it.

At one point in time shovelware referred to shitty game collections when CDs became popular, as you could stick a ton of shitty floppy disk games onto them and sell them to people who thought they were getting a good deal. I don't ever recall it referring to bad ports so I don't know what the fuck you're on about.

Not a developer, but i've never seen anyone on this board shit on THQ despite filling the GBA library with cartoon tie-in shovelware.

Who's that seymen ayylien?

It's a business, OP. You have a responsibility to turn a profit when you run one and that often means doing something other people, such as artistic types that frown upon business matters, would find distasteful.

To use Thom Yorke as an analogy: You can perform your concerts in a tent with no advertising to express your disdain for corporations but don't be surprised if it's not feasible for Spotify to give you the cut of profits you think you deserve. If you want more money: you can swallow your pride and let advertisers lease a bit of your soul, you can work harder and perform more concerts, and/or you can accept what you make off of it and take advantage of the exposure that Spotify gives you; make something productive of your situation. Do you follow me?

That's Luna, from Mighty Milky Way.

Probably too good to be true, but I want to beliebe.

You know, I always would doublespace my forum posts back in the day, I'm talking like 2001 and earlier. That was way before Reddit showed up. It never really looked appealing to me to have no indentation or no spaces between my paragraphs in forum posts.

holy niggers of kangzia, fuck off neoFAG refoogee dick licking scat sucking clock fucker niggerfaggot.

WHERE'S THE PORN YOU NIGGERS

pirate's curse is the only good shantae

The original is pretty good, if you can get over the hurdle of getting to the first dungeon. They put the most bullshit enemies right at the beginning of the game, for some reason.

Asking for porn dumps goes against the rules.

Where are you taking that "even" from? They mostly make shit games.

Then the rules were clearly made to be broken.

2bad

Having them is until stated otherwise what Mark won't do it for the foreseeable future.

I hate you and all your kind.

Teacher said new topic, new paragraph for school papers. The formatting rules for papers and narratives don't necessarily apply to an image board, especially one where line length is practically as long as your screen is wide, and most people are using wide screens. Double spacing every individual line just looks bad.

...

Throw out the 15" CRT grandpa

...

Do you even understand the point of "lurk more"? People who space like that are obvious newfags who haven't lurked.

...

They make licensed stuff in order to get the money to make actual quality stuff, and while I haven't played the licensed stuff myself people are saying that it's high quality for movie tie-ins.

Their games are generally for handhelds, meaning that the sprites have to be clean enough to be clearly visible on a small screen and fairly small in order to let the screen display enough of the area around them. Their spritework mainly shines in motion, by the way. They have a lot of frames of animation, compared to most sprites. It's clearly hand made too (aside from that recent Shantae with the art style change), while essentially everyone else has stopped doing that in detail these days. Even devs that get praised for their 2D like Vanillaware with Dragon's Crown seem to be using tweening or something like it for a lot of the animations. Spritework isn't just about still sprites.

No, they just know how to end a paragraph when they switch the fucking subject, you bandwagoning, screeching retard. This is further exacerbated by the way imageboard posts tend to be very concise, so the basic fucking notion of making a new paragraph when you start talking about something else leads to very short paragraphs.

As for the whole double spacing thing, why the fuck is that even being pointed out? If you weren't starting a new paragraph you wouldn't hit Enter on an imageboard in the first fucking place in 99% of cases. If you are making a new paragraph, putting an empty line in between them is basic god damn formatting.

I swear the entire reddit formatting idiocy was started by goons trying to D&C by making some particularly gullible morons start screeching every time they saw simple short paragraphs. It's the only thing that makes sense.

What quality stuff?

lurk more faggot. You're not special, stop trying to stand out.

You first, kike.

Was about to post Treasure unironically, because in fact it is true that their mediocre or outright bad games outnumber their good ones.

The reason that's acceptable to do is because the teacher needed that space to add notes for you when they reviewed your shitty text book, and this isn't an school, is it?

Something tells me you phone post.

Your post looks empty, take too much space, and honestly, you are just talking shit. Learn to format on imageboards or leave.
If you want to start a new topic you don't even need to leave double spaces, like this, unless you have a paragraph, and 2 lines isn't enough for a paragraph, retard. Also, I understand leaving spaces, seeing how much of a newfag you are, but nothing justifies leaving spaces after the post number, holy shit.

>The AliMummy Demastered

They're OK in my book despite all of their shovelware stuff. They're also pretty cool getting in touch with their fans

...

There was a brave and bold vidya? Sweet.

That image is essentially:
This is your nation on Marxism.
This is your nation on Nationalism.
Any Questions?

It's because people are desperate to pretend the West is still relevant to making games, and they're the only Westerners who've put out a noticeable number of decent games in over a decade.

What world do you live in? You can count on one hand's fingers the number of devs that are consistently good, and even then those might be very niche developers.
Wayforward is in the very least consistently average, and it's devs don't have a maniacal desire to post on twitter about politics.

how far the Holla Forums has fallen

OP just started paying attention.

...

Middleware is not a sacred cow free of criticism.

That post you're critizing isn't using /leddit/ spacing. It's separating paragraphs.

I believe Walt Disney said something along the lines of "I don't make movies to make money, i make money to make movies."

May a blight fall upon your family.

I think the answer is simpler! Holla Forums is autistic.

Prove that he has no proof.

agreed, scaleform UI and speed tree have got to go.

I see this shit all the time. Some fucker uses our terminology wrong, and there's always a bunch of posts saying the term itself is stupid. Is this some kind of organized effort to erode our semantics to make it easier for newfags to infiltrate? What the fuck?

Nothing new, that tactic's been in play for over a decade now.
