Lately, i have been playing the entire Suda51 backlog. Killer7 is so good that after finishing the final chapter, it became my second favorite game ever, only surpassed by Nier Gestalt.

Playing The Silver Case atm, and it's pretty great, i'm really impressed by how underrated most of his older games are. Maybe these recent Grasshopper meh titles like Lolipop Chainsaw and Killer Is Dead did indeed hurt his reputation, but it's kinda sad that the other titles are kinda underrated.

I would recommend especially No More Heroes, Killer7 or the Kill The Past canon trilogy. Any thoughts about it?

You should play Killer7 first if you want the smoothest introduction to the Kill The Past universe really. It's an alternate universe spin-off, but it really shows what you can expect about this type of game in a much more fluid, action packed manner. These are some old bizarre puzzle adventure games(and Flower Sun and Rain, has some boring parts on purpose), so… They might be kinda tiring to play sometimes. If you finish Killer7 though, you'll probably be motivated to play the rest of it just for the sake of having similar experiences and knowing more about this bizarre universe.

I'm thinking about buying Deadly Premonition soon, i have a few questions.
Does the writting have actual un-ironic value, or is it just "so bad it's good"?
I heard it's very inspired by Twin Peaks, does it understand the underlying themes or just makes surface-level references and imitates the aesthetic?

 No.5437

>>5436

The latter, the killer is…heavily hinted at the moment you start the game and it gets heavy handed.

The surface story is absolutely stupid, but the character stories are brilliant, which I guess means it really did follow twin peaks closely.

It's pretty good. The open-world is really creative even though it has flaws. The life sim aspects are well executed. As an adventure game, it's a blast. The survival horror parts suck hard though, but at least you can easily skip them by simply running from most enemies. The story is pretty good too.

>>5437

While i do agree SWERY has some bonker plot-twists, i do think they are appropriate to the story (mostly). But i can agree on that: the characters are the foundation of Deadly Premonition's story. After all, this isn't a story about Anna's serial murder case, it's a story about the characters.

Spoilers ahead, story discussion, don't click if you've never played Deadly Premonition.

Well, i do think the focus of the plot isn't really the whole serial murder case, but the duality of man. This is something that SWERY said in his notes about the game's development. It's about how people react to trauma and problems. For example: Thomas fights his gender dysphoria and intolerable love for Thomas by helping in the murders. George fights against his trauma and obsession by killing women and seeking the power of the red seeds. Kaysen is merely a metaphor, a demon which uses the people's own insecurities and traumas to dominate. Both he and the Red Tree represent evil.

Even though it may get weird, i think the meaning that everything has and the Cold War related things that happened in Greenvale (which reminded me of Naoki Urasawa's Monster lore a lot) kinda makes me think the story is pretty good. Even though it starts as a mere Twin Peaks The Videogame, it eventually becomes something of it's own.


Can't wait to see what will happen in Deadly Premonition 2. It's a pity that the best SWERY game for me, Dark Dreams Don't Die, will probably never have a follow up.

 No.5441

I am >>5439

Just complementing the spoilers part. If you've never played Deadly Premonition, don't read the following spoilers:

The best thing about the story for me is how York is able to deal with his trauma and focus on having a better live. This is, thematically, the most optimistic and best ending possible. He is able to fight against his own desires and traumas, thus becoming his true self. He becomes Zach, and abandons York, his coping mechanism, the "perfect cop", the strong, but very paranoid personality.

"At times we must purge things from this world because they should not exist. Even if it means losing someone that you love."

York purged his traumas. He purged York, his coping mechanism, which he shows a great deal of respect. He was able to fight against these things that "should not exists", even though he may go out of his confort zone.

SWERY is a pretty smart guy. Even though DP has some specific problems in narrative, it's pretty impressing for a low budget adventure game. Maybe, it's one of the best adventure game narratives of DP's generation.

As for the game. It's good for a bit of fun, feels a little odd on keyboard to me, better on controller. The story was relatable and fit the game well, but I would have liked it more if there had been maybe an extra mode with more of a gameplay focus. Like maybe a twin stick shooter mode, or endless waves mode against the police at the end.

Happy Snake makes a lot of cute games, though this time they tried to make something with a little bit of horror in it. QT is kinda like a reverse horror game, in that it starts spooky and then gets full of good feelings instead. It's also a big reference to P.T.

The game is currently on Kickstarter, but there is also a free Demo that can be tried here: https://happysnakegames.itch.io/qt

Shoujo Kidan - A girl's Eerie Story, by lol_rust.

It took my a good while to translate, particularly because I had to deal with a lot of problems related to the engine itself more than the translation. That's why the filesize is sightly bigger than the official japanese download (I had to add some RTP files). Either way, it's finally here.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/i7dl9m2ywq6xsfb/SJKD_EN.zip

TL;DR run it, if you see garbage, switch the locale to JP.
Just download the game, and run it. If you see mojibake, you will have to either switch your locale to japanese or use a third party program like applocale (or whatever works for the new windows). There's a way to fix this, and that is to encode all the shift_JIS filenames to Windows-1252, however I currently don't know any way to do this which isn't changing every single filename manually. I suspect some file extractors such as winrar can achieve this when extracting files in a non-japanese environment, however I'm not sure and I haven't tested it myself.

The game has 2 routes and an omake, meaning it has 3 endings. It isn't really hard, but it comes with hints so it's nothing unbeatable. I will reply any question if anybody has problems with it though.

Finally, I want to thank every single person who gave me a hand with this translation, for their effort and input. And although this work is finally published, I still accept input and criticism regarding the translation quality, so feel free to bring anything up in this thread or via mail.

Enjoy.

 No.5135[Reply]

I finished translating Milya. The game is, for some reason (i.e. the engine can't handle memory allocation with some textures), very prone to crashing, and although I managed to improve the overall time between crashes (a lot), it still happens from time to time. The good thing is that this game isn't that long and you don't need to save or anything like that anyway. But I insist that it crashes as a fault on the engine side, so please spare me the complains.

Milya in Japanese can be downloaded here:
https://www.freem.ne.jp/dl/win/13977
(Link provided through lol's site http://rustlimbo.webcrow.jp/games/milya/index.html )

And the patch can be downloaded from here:
https://mega.nz/#!p2oDCIzA!yV2lReNQlx8zSXaZHdK4uTIDkjK0VQgCIupd9whQae0
Just extract the files inside the original Milya folder, and when asked if you want to overwrite things, say yes to all.

Inside the ./www folder, you will find a copy of the original CommonEvents.json file, plus a backup of the english one. In case you want to switch to the original language again, all you have to do is copy the CommonEvents[EN/JP].json file, paste it inside the ./www data folder, and rename it to CommonEvents.json (overwriting the file there).

However, if you find that extracting a file is too difficult for you to handle, here's a download with the executable already patched:

I tried replaying Milya and writing down within the file all you see so you could follow the context, but unfortunately the crashings and need for adding jump points (more on this later) takes more time than I can actually put down for this. Instead, I'll write the general feeling of the game here.

I divided the game's text into what I called "branches". They aren't branches in the classical way (i.e. a byproduct of making a "choice" within the game), but rather just different loops that run when you start the game. When you play for the first time, you run what I call "branch 0", which will always be the first branch the player sees the first time they play the game.
Sometimes when playing, for example, "branch 2", two or three snips of text from "branch 05" will appear, before jumping back from where it left in "branch 2". This is what I denominated "Jump Points". This makes understanding the story more difficult, therefore by reading this script (which is in order and with corresponding text inside their respective branches), you will probably have a better understanding of the story than just by "playing the game".

With all that said, here's the file: https://pastebin.com/XeSJbFTN

And some context: Some of these branches (those that don't seem to be narrated by "the protagonist", i.e. a girl who goes to this café in a forest) are generally just text over a black background. The others are, as I mentioned, apparently narrated by the girl, who walks through different maps through passages, corridors, what looks like some forest path, a field, basements, etc.

If you want to discuss something or have doubts about anything in the file, feel free to ask and I'll try to fill as many holes as possible.

Hey Uboachan, I'm not posting this game in /fg/ since I don't know if it's a fangame or not, but I'm pretty sure it's something worth asking about. Do any of you know anything about Nocturne? What I know so far is:
-You play as a shadowgirl named Soentsuki. (Pictured in what I assume is her room)
-You go through a two-screen hallway into a black void where only Soentsuki's eyes are visible.
-The game has a small chance of loading you into a Red Room that locks the game up. Otherwise, the dark room is a softlock.
-In another edition, modified for 100% Red Room, I've managed to move around and discover that the "Red Room" has two screens, but you're mostly stuck on one.

Any info besides this, including decompliling it (It was made in an older edition of Game Maker, I assume) would be appreciated. If need be, I can post a download link for the game.

It is, well known fact, the -tsuki makes it obvious too.

>Any info besides this, including decompliling it (It was made in an older edition of Game Maker, I assume) would be appreciated.

Well, you pretty much resumed what is available at all. You can butcher the game yourself if you're that interested, really, but you won't find much.

On kick starter there was this pretty good game that got funded called crosscode. It's based on the same sort of concept as sao. You're stuck in a virtual game, etc., etc., etc. There's also some memory loss thrown in. Despite the generic premise, the game play is pretty fun. There was a really extensive demo on newgrounds(which is how I found out about the game) which they later removed. I remember that they almost didn't get funded, but came up with a weird gimmick at the last moment where giving 40 dollars suddenly meant more or something. For some reason no youtubers talked about it when asked to despite raving about shovel knight. I suspect that all of that promotion was payed for. Yacht Club Games already existed before shovel knight so they probably had the money to get some people to shill, not that I could blame them for doing so.

I wouldn't say so. Something like fez or undetale being praised for its graphics is a problem. As for the character portraits, everybody keeps posting the older, shitier versions for some reason. I don't know. I want a real explanation or a diagram or something so I can know what should be avoided.
I think the way other people sees things is important. I don't want to be the guy that likes Adam Sandler movies. If i'm going to spend time on something, i'd like to know its true value.

It does look "retro" to some degree, the shading and colors are distributed in a similar way to what old hardware would allow, it's good to note not all pixel art is instantly retro, the term became a buzzword to the point it doesn't mean anything anymmore.

I can confirm the portrait art looks EXTREMELY tumblrish, just browse the art tag in tumblr and you'll see, personally I don't like it, but the person behind it can actually draw, unlike Undertale's author.

Undertale graphics aren't retro, they are just outdated, simplistic and minimalistic to the bone, I mean, if you go to the Atari era, you'll see a couple messy pixels with one color could represent a person, Atari games are great and fun to play that doesn't mean it looks good or the graphics age well.

Both games are considered retro, yet if you compare UT's sprites with these, you'll easily notice this is a superior technique, character design is superior too, UT's MC design reduces to "average person with shirt, pants and shoes", it looks directly inspired from a random dude on facebook.

>Something like fez or undertale being praised for its graphics is a problem
Why is that a problem? Who's it harming? If people like Fez's graphics then they're allowed to give them praise. It's a pretty game, it doesn't matter that it's not copying an older style or that it "didn't take enough skill". The same principle applies to Undertale, though for all the moaning people do about it getting praised for it's graphics, I've never actually seen anyone do it. Maybe it's just the places I hang out, but it seems to me like that idea was made up by the people who moan about it.

>I think the way other people sees things is important. I don't want to be the guy that likes Adam Sandler movies.

So in this metaphor the reason you dislike Adam Sandler is not because you think his films are bad, but because it's uncool to like them? If the popular perception matters more than the artistic vision, then why even bother trying to make something new? If all that matters to you is /v/ thinking you're cool then your game will be nothing but an amalgamation of other games they like, which is pointless since those games already exist. Obviously I'm taking what you said to the extreme, I'm just demonstrating why the principle you're following is ridiculous.

>If I'm going to spend time on something, I'd like to know its true value.

There's no such thing as a "true value" to art. Art exists to be enjoyed by humans, so it's value is subjective. It's your time, so you should use it to make a game that is valuable to you, not other people.

>>you like YN, right?

>What does that have to do with it?
You said "If this game is bad, I wonder how one guy or a small team would go about making a good one". Sorry if you meant an actual method to follow, I'm not good with subtext but the way you started the sentence with "if this game is bad" made it sound like you were stuck for examples of good games made by few people (and were therefore basing your decision about whether small teams can make good games only on this).

It's less about other people's perception of me and more about myself. I think the quality of a person has too much of a parallel with the things they like to just be a coincidence. People are always eager to reject that line of thought and I get why, but I just can't. I'm just so much more likely to enjoy the company of somebody that prefers Frankenstein over Twilight. I'm probably not going to like people into pop-rap either. It's hard to explain in words, but I just feel it everyday.

Not only that, but I've been thinking about making something of my own. I don't want to be an Adam Sandler or a Phil Fish. Coming to appreciate and understand, "higher", things is like a form of self-improvement to me. I wont stop enjoying things just for other people, but i'd like to be aware of their faults.
>>5279
I've never actually used Tumblr except for a few specific people's pages. I'm seeing a lot of thick outlines, accentuated, bulbous noses and lips, pastel colors and eyes that are too close together. Would you say that's accurate?
