Anyone playing this?

I wish i could just tell you to fuck off, but the thing that really hurts is that you're actually right.

didnt this game was hard for the jurnos and the dev lowered the difficulty?

General dubs thread.

I've played the unpatched game and the patched version and i haven't noticed any differences.
It's a hard game, but it's not hard because of the enemy placement, the bosses, or the attack patterns, it's simply hard because it lacks iframes in general so you have to physically steer clear of all attacks most of the time.
Also you have a pretty small HP pool and every hit from anything drops it down one notch, while other attacks drop it down multiple notches.
HP recovery items aren't super rare, but they're spaced out just far enough to be annoying if you're not on top of your game most of the time.

It's a game that ends up being hard for the wrong reasons, essentially, it's the result of a lot of design decisions that are more frustrating than legitimately challenging.

There's no "making it easy", there's just fixing it, by adding iframes for more actions, it's a simple solution.

Just wait another day or two to make the thread again. The Underail thread got this treatment too but last i saw the thread was in pretty good shape

You can't reason with some of these posters they've gone insane from random grief.

Nothing wrong with bright lights.
Why do you think video games are even a thing?
30 fps lock is unacceptable though.
Not in fucking 2016.

You two should date

Like the ones that introduce blogposts with passive-aggressive grandstanding?

Speaking of passive-aggressive grandstanding :^)

...

What about it?

Summer goway

The game art looks horrible.

Just the essay-length ones with unnecessary personal commentary. Thanks for including your profile pic

...

I've think you've gone blind from rage because nobody in their right mind would call a 2 sentence post an essay.

It's literally changing a variable at minimum. If they weren't retarded and tied physics to fps

I think you've gone blind from your persecution complex, because I wasn't talking about you. May as well be, though, that guy left and you're still here defending him

Stop feeding the troll.

Dude, the animations themselves are at 30fps, that's not how this works.
You'd have to literally draw the additional frames of animations.
If you just double the speed you'll have just that, a game that runs at double the speed, it would be the same exact game but nearly unplayable because everything goes sanic.

If this was a 3D game or it used a different type of 2D animation it would be easy, but as it stands it's actually pretty hard to bump it to 60, you'll have to get the original artists and drawn the in between animations for everything to adapt it to 60.

What am I defending him for?

You two should date :^^^)

rollin'

I like the concept art and cover art, but I'm getting sick of that fake retro pixel art style in game. Things like thin stick limbs, lazy jaggies masquerading as an artistic choice, then add pixel bloom. It's unfortunate because some of these games, their gameplay might not be perfect but it looks interesting enough. Eitr And I'm usually easygoing with the artstyle. But I'm getting really fed up with this retro pixel stuff.

Pro: I love how they made the entire game a massive proof of "Show, don't tell". The only text is in the main menu and a few tutorials here and there. Past the first thirty minutes there is zero text at all in the entire game and you can get the full story by just paying attention.

Con:
HOW DO YOU FUCK UP AN ACTION GAME THIS BAD?
Dashing is janky. Sometimes you smoothly get multiple dodges and sometimes you fail for some reason. 30fps in a fast-moving game where split-second decisions and slashing bullets back at foes is a possibility is inexcuseable. The game freezes all of the action for cutscenes and goes back to it without warning. I did not feel like I die because the game is fair but rather because the game is fucking bullshit. You have two control systems but neither of them are optimal - keyboard and mouse sucks when it comes to skillful movement and sword combat but gamepad is terrible for aiming and shooting with your gun, and both are crucial parts of the game but you will be gimped one way or another. New Game + locks you out at two hp maximum making the game even more frustrating to play. I felt zero incentive to play again in these circumstances and zero incentive to explore the rest of the map after defeating the final boss. Hidden rooms and secrets are all encountered the same way AKA hug every single wall and see if you can somehow walk through it making finding them a frustrating endeavor of combing every single room instead of something found through observation and reasoning.

To call this shit would be a disservice to feces which at least serve to nourish the earth. This is radioactive waste.

It was a meh game shilled hard by shitaku and polygon.

Yeah, i definitely appreciated that, keep the bullshit to a minimum, no language and just showing the player what's happening very quickly and then let him keep going on his way.

I can't stress this enough, shit just isn't consistent.
It should work every time, especially in an action game like this, but it doesn't, leading you to fail basic actions, thus leading to free damage that you just shouldn't take and you don't feel like it's your fault.

Isn't this the game that has Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn in the credits?

Bullshit, in GM studio you can slow down the sprite animations with a single variable, so you double the framerate but set the sprite speed to half and all animations will look the same. The real problem is the movement, they would have to hunt for all movement in the code and halve the numbers.

Nigga are you dumb?
Well before I go into any assumptions, did they really waste their time animating every single frame for an action over 30 frames? The animations didn't look remotely smooth enough for that the last time I looked at the game.

A running animation for a spite game is usually 8 frames of sprites for example. 16 if they really want things smooth.
The last thing that matters about the framerate in a 2D game is the animation fluidity, as it doesn't change at all until it's unplayably low. What matters is the resolution of input polling and how soon the game responds to that. Making the game more responsive basically.
You do actually get a little visually fluidity as the entities themselves move across the screen more smoothly, but not the animations themselves.

Nigga you dumb.
Again, if physics and such aren't directly coupled to the fps count then no, that wouldn't happened. If everything is multiplied by the change in time for the frame like it should be then nothing like that would happen. When you hear about that happening for some game port you see the devs getting berated for a reason.

Well i guess you could double the speed and simply make the animations look the same but it would probably look like shit in motion compared to actually designing the game to be 60fps from the ground up, like they should've done in the first place.

Backed it before I had learnt better, played it, enjoyed it, probably won't touch it again.

My thoughts.

1) The colour palette is OK, but the lack of differentiation between foreground (player, enemies, obstacles) and background is a pain in the ass.

2) The decision to stick with a 30fps frame cap is stupid, and even worse the devs tied game logic to 30fps because they are fucking retards.

3) Some shit don't work. Don't know if it's been fixed since launch, but dodges were buggy and sometimes had iFrames, sometimes didn't.

4) Lack of enemy variety was an issue, and overall the game didn't last very long, which wouldn't be a problem if it had some sort of replay value aside from collecting more power-ups you don't need because you've already beaten the game without them.

5) I did like the minimalism and the lack of hand-holding, and the gobbledegook the aliens spoke that made the world feel properly alien and lonely, even though you weren't exactly alone.

It's a decent buy if it's cheap and you like 2D Zelda games.

I know nothing about the development of the game, i played it, it was really a lot of fun for me and it looked fantastic. I did like the lack of i frames, made combat interesting, the game is easy enough once you get the dash upgrade

Forgot to roll.

...

it fucked up

the lack of iframes was the lack of actual framerate.

Who the fuck animates all drawn sprites at 60 fps? You'd end up with fuckhuge sprites that take a million years to animate, do you actually pay attention to the number of frames in most sprite-based 60fps games?

60 fps is not about having more frames in the sprites, but about the movement of objects across the screen being smoother and about the controls being more responsive.

That's how it works in any 2D game because the animations aren't drawn across all of 30 or 60 frames to begin with. They don't evenly divide into multiples of 10 most of the time either.
Scaling animations is the name of the game for 2D games. Whether it's 25, 46, or 51 it should look about the same.

Like I said (with grammatical corrections because I'm brain dead)
And it's more about how it feels and responds rather than how it looks.

Of course a dev should make sure the game's performance hits 60fps easily and consistently at minimum, but I can't help but feel it misses the aspect of scalability to say "a game should be designed for the ground up to be X" because I should be about to play at 2X or 4X if my computer could handle it too.

I'm working on a game right now and I have it set up so that it really is as simple as changing a variable to adjust the framerate. I just need to multiply the appropriate things by the change in time for a frame at the current fixed framerate

Are you retarded? That's what he's saying. Read the earlier post of the user he's responding too. He's the one who didn't understand that.

That's exactly what I'm saying you mongoloid.

The other faggot was saying that a 60 fps sprite game "built from the ground up" to be 60 fps would also have all sprites animate at 60 fps.

Yes, it's exactly that one.
The one people tried to shill here around release and failed.
The one game that leaves you blind after you play it because of the amount of pink and purple.
The one whose devs are genuine SJWs.

If the literally whos wasn't enough of a kiss of death. What the fuck is Kanye's role in the game? Was it just on the retarded shout out and special thanks section?

It's not bad but it's wasted potential and if you give them money you're funding the fucking indie cliques and people that put liar and the slut in the credits.

Wew, glad I didn't pirate it then

]Howsabout fuck that garbage ass bullshit.

Iframes don't make any fucking sense. They're never explained in games and have no rational reason to exist in the fucking game. Suddenly figuring out that you can phase through fucking shit and calling that legitimate gameplay when it's not a mechanic is fucking ass to anyone that doesn't read fucking wikis and walkthroughs before playing the game.

Action games need less reliance on invisible invincible I'm playing cowboys and indians neener you didn't hit me fucking bullshit, not more of it.

I want to see MORE action games that have dodges that ACTUALLY FUCKING DODGE SHIT, not "I was spinning so your sword didn't murder me when it went through my torso" fucking five year old playing pretend in the backyard bullshit.

Iframes are fucking gay.

That game is shit and so are the devs mate.

and you should be able to just PHASE THROUGH SHIT if you time it right
Holy fucking SHIT HOW FUCKING MIND-BLOWING AND RADICAL NO WAIT you're FUCKING RETARDED

Fucking god damn in a game with a directional dodge you can't figure out how to play aggressively while not getting hit dodge diagonally forward shit fuck this game wasn't even very good you're just fucking mentally disabled

...

calm down lads
i never knew about the sjw devs, and i don't really care either – i saw this on the catalog of my torrent tracker and grabbed it

i think no i-frames is better too.. you just have to dodge. And chaining doges doesn't always work for me either, but I always thought it was my timing that's wrong when this happens.

overall no regrets, would pirate again

Fuck you, the game sucks. Now go play Furi.

As some have already pointed out, the devs are SJW zealots that kiss Anita and Zoe's ass in the credits.

When the game released on Steam someone mentioned it on the forums, as you can expect devs got buttblasted and went on a ban & delete spree.

They are pure cancer and if you buy this game I hope you get cancer.

It's one of two possible solutions, and it's the least fun one.

EVEN IF, this is your correct solution, it doesn't work in this game because drifting misfires, sometimes it won't come out when it should.
So not only there's no iframes, but additionally you aren't dodging when you should, so you get hit anyway.

Either

ONE

or

THE OTHER

You can't design the game so that you have to dodge around the attacks but at the same time the controls are shit and the dodge doesn't come out.
If you take the second solution you STICK to the second solution and you make sure it actually works as intended, else you're straight up defending bad coding.

...

What the hell did you even just say you little piece of fucking shit.
Just shut your face, i'm talking to the other guy, it was a mistake letting you into the conversation, all you do is shit your brains out randomly like a meme addict spastic monkey, go away.

BTW fam, I don't tend to see shills and goons everywhere I go so I won't go that way.

But to the people saying 'yo who cares if the game is good, YOU are the SJW, goy'.

You are all retarded. This cancer infested and destroyed our hobby, and they are the reason you are here and not cuckchan in the first place.

They are not some poor saps who got reeducated like Penny Arcade.

They are the jewish whores who started it all and these fucks feel they need to show them gratitude for some reason.

why are you complaining that you're bad?

Game is locked at 30 fps, it's unplayable.
What the fuck are you discussing here?

Regardless of PC devs the game is still shit.

It's in the middle point between repersentative pixel art that lets you imagine the fine details (Hotline Miami) and actual good pixel art (SNK or something). So yeah, it looks fucking terrible.

rolling

That was the game with the e3 trailer that had Carpenter Brut music in it, right? How did it turn out?

...

Well, I really don't give a shit about framerate unless it fucks with the gameplay somehow, and that's exactly what happens with the title-named ability which has a shitty response window to execute a drift combo, which would be way easier with 60fps. Also the ability is severely underplayed and the narrative is pure bullshit. I thought it was a fun ride anyhow.

You can talk about most games here, the only ones truly doomed from the start are the ones Mark and his hotpocketeers deem justifiable to porn dump to death. Otherwise you just have to power through the initial wave of shitposting and start a discussion, then you're golden. You still might get an autist or two being snarky and thinking sage is a downvote, but they're never organized enough to actually bomb anything to death without Mark's instruction.

That robot isn't even sexy, 0/10

You dodge where you aim.

So half the time you're accidentally jumping into the guy you're shooting at and losing life, the other half you're re-aiming after every dodge.

Fair enough.
Also Mark is a faggot and i hope he gets ran over by a car someday and dies slowly and painfully, hopefully he'll get his lower half crushed and bleed to death.
It's the only way he'll finally atone for what he has done to this board.

dubs confirm. adios

pirated so I dont have many negative feelings about this game other than those already stated.

I will say that my favorite boss fight was in the southern section. Lots of different ways to utilize abilities to utilize without getting hit

...

Would you a Zaku?
