General Gaming Snap judging pixel art indies
crispy4000 replied to crispy4000's topic in The Spawn Point
Time Spent: 40 minutes Rating: **** Demo Holy cow, this game could be amazing. Stunning art that mixes 2D and 3D elements. Sense of dread Hollow Knight evokes at the end within the first 10 minutes. Good controls and combat that gives you juggle options when fighting. The ability to make platforms anywhere off walls and the ground with your staff. Sanity effect that changes difficulty and level layout (!?) if you can't find a map location to reset it. The only few blemishes: your standard combo drives you backwards a tiny bit in the air. Odd, but it still works. Metroidvania design might not be the strongest either? Hard to tell from a demo. Oh, and the story is kind of ho-hum, they need to up the text size. But otherwise, wow. -

Time Spent: 20 minutes Rating: ***½ Demo Yep, I had a good eye for this one. Plays fantastic, just as you would hope a DKC-like would. The bird has the ability to flap its wings and throw the turtle, the turtle can set you up for a team up jump and a ground pound. Vibes are super jolly as well, music is on point. I just wish the colors weren't so plain at times, but regardless, the animation work is fantastic. If they keep that up for the full game, I could see good things coming from this. -

* Not-E3 Edition * Taking a brief break from the stuff I own to try the stuff not out yet. Time Spent: ~30 min Rating: *** Demo It's like a platform fighter crossed with a character action game. As some who dug Guacamelee a lot, this is even more up to my speed. Unfortunately the polish just isn't there yet, especially with the platforming and run speed. Also with the boss at the end, who is a blown up pixelated mess. I question how well its systems will gel outside of the standard combat mechanics. Overall, great potential, but it needs to cook a bit. -

@AbsolutSurgen Your complaints about the smaller indie shows make a lot more sense in context. Most can't pay for this type of treatment if they aren't one of the chosen, and everyone still wants in on it. This also explains the relatively large representation of gatcha games, F2P and off brand MMOs at the Geoffs. More people play those than people realize.

General Gaming Guerrilla Collective 2024 Showcase (“Not-E3”)

I’ll say it again, Wizard of Legends 2 looks so damn good. Like, Hades level fun. -

Guerilla Collective was disappointing, just not a lot of great things not counting the repeats. But there were a few highlights I’ll post here too. I recommend people check out the Best Indie Game showcase thread where I curated a lot, which was by far the best show so far, even if very bloated. Next Indie showcase had some interesting stuff too.

(Knight in Tight Spaces - Demo) (Wizard of Legends - Demo) Slime Heroes and Constance were the other highlights for me. Maybe Cataclismo. I’ll wait for those trailers to drop. -

Agreed. A lot of these shows have overlap too, I’d like more done to ensure that your game will only be in one of the showcases. I already parsed through two of these with dozens of games looking for decent stuff. -

I miss stage presentations. But that's not what these smaller shows are about IMO. They're very much a happy reaction to COVID putting everything in video format. -

Man, I got hyped for Yooka-Laylee 2, but it ended up being a remake. That game felt like a test for a future better game, I'd rather not see it redone. -

Politics are a construct we humans put on things. The manner which people fixate on it is often disconnected from the problems it tries to address, and can come from a position of privilege itself. Rainbow capitalism is a prime example of that. So is this article, arguably. Anyone who cares greatly about the politics of this is probably in too deep. Especially in comparison to this company's recent history.
