the 2002 kanon anime is a crowning achievement in faithfully adapting the same artist as clannad's terrible character designs into animation, but the real gem is the main character having a giant chin that makes up half of his face

Is there no review or quality control to Steam Greenlight games at all?

For all its flaws and rampant abuse of the voting system Greenlight at least does fulfill it's role in letting small indie games get onto the store. Granted it also lets in a lot of trash but its not like theres a limited amount of space on Steam so it's only a problem for people who take The Inegrity Of My Steam Front Page Experience too seriously.

The new system Valve is working on is going to abandon the community system entirely and is just going to be letting people pay a flat fee to get their games on Steam, which seems like the worst of both worlds because it does nothing to actually control quality or curate content but does lock out especially small and poor developers who can't gamble what could be over a thousand dollars on their game being successful on Steam.

There was a manga called franken fran about a girl who is really good at performing surgeries on people, surgeries that shouldn't be possible, and a lot of it is just monkey's paw type stuff. I bring this up because in one of the chapters, a girl really wants the attention of her crush and she knows he reads nothing but manga so she wants surgery done to make her look more and more like the character in the manga, and the surgeries keep going and going and she ends up as this horrifying mess.

I'll just link an album of some of the pages so people get the idea. :nws: for body horror.

A heads up for people who like digging up treasure: go to Greenlight released titles list. They're all games that got to Steam, some are still upcoming but many are already in the store. A janky name and an amateur-looking title graphic are good indicators of potential thread material.



Anyway: The Pasture - simulator of art gallery curator.

quote:

Mikhail Maksimov manages almost impossible: he combines heavy Russian mysticism where theosophy and cosmism are intervened with the spirits of nature, with the contemporary form of glossy pop culture - 3d-graphics.

It is this gap that creates wow-effect for the audience when you remain stuck to a video-work or computer game. Glamour-chthonian institutional critics the artist is involved in, in olden times never had mercy either on Tarkovsky, or Platonov, and now have no mercy on Olga Sviblova who, undoubtedly, worthfully continues the range of great men of culture.

All works of Maksimov, without exception, are extremely elevate and poetic, in Kantian meaning of the words. Even if they lacked complicated disrupt narratives or, on the contrary, unexpected psychedelic metaphors, they would be worth appreciating for their easiness for the eyes, and this pleasure is not shameful.

This is a fairly apt comparison considering that nobody actually reads or enjoys Chuck Tingle books, they just have a sensible chuckle at the title and store description.

The dev and the comic book guy are different people. The game itself is a minifrog factions puzzle thing hiding under a weird licensed game.

I'm going to post a lot of words about anime video games. If words about anime disinterest you, just keep scrolling. I won't mind.


Clannad is $60 because for a certain segment of people, it's the loving golden grail of this poo poo.
See, to most people, this poo poo is loving baffling. It makes no sense, the art is loving terrible, it's a bunch of people talking, but for certain groups of people that is what they WANT. There's a bunch of terms that describe the various kinds of anime visual novels - "Kusoge" is literally "poo poo game." It's so bad and terrible it has it's own thing. "Nukige" is "Fap Game" and it's pretty much the sakura series or loving bible black - the sole purpose is to go HEY LOOK PORN WOOOOOOO with the barest hint of coherent story. Clannad (and most others by the same company, Key Visual Arts), are "Nakige", or "Crying Game." Their entire thing is hey get connected with these characters, then bring in the tragedy. It's ham-fisted, it's forced, you can practically see twists coming from miles away, but it's what these people WANT.

These people WANT to read about a story where your entire life is defined by the romances and poo poo you make in high school when you're still a dumb teenager, and how everything you do in high school now defines you for the rest of your life, but it's all tragedy and horrific trauma, and you're crying and weeping by the end. To these people, Clannad is the loving high mark of this. It was - probably still is, depending on who you ask - the game that made you cry the most, connected the most, all that poo poo. It's their loving citizen kane of anime games. To these people, being able to actually own a copy of Clannad is worth $60. Even if they imported it, imported the fifty side stories, put the translation patch on their phones so they can play it everywhere, broke their support disk, everything, these people will gladly pay $60 more just to say, "I own another version of my personal Citizen Kane."

It's close to sports games, really. If you're not into it, they all look maddeningly similar and esoteric, but to someone who's into it and loves it, they can tell you which ones are awful, which ones are great, and eagerly await the next installment. Same with anime visual novels about high schoolers crying. Clannad is their high bar and they will loving dump endless amounts of money to have all of it, and all of Muv-Luv, and all the other ultra-anime cryfests that are now on Steam that are baffingly to all of us not neck-deep in moe.

I used to be one of those fuckers who would never shut up about this poo poo, who thought this was art and thus perfect and I am thankfully past that. To make up for making GBS threads on everyone's time with poo poo about anime, here's some game keys from my humble bundle list

EDIT: Game #1, JumpJetRex, was taken.
Ballistick, basically stick figure death game. If you're old and remember those newgrounds flashes, turns out so did someone else. http://store.steampowered.com/app/518620/

Dude, did you just insult Sunohara's face?

I mean, yes, it's a horrible piece of artwork, but that character acts exactly how you would expect someone with that face to. It's a stellar piece of character design!

Another game with 'trash' in the title, how fitting: Trashville



quote:

Trashville - top-down action game, in which you'll have to fight off waves of different enemies. In this hell of a battle you won't be able to solely rely on your weapons. You'll have to use your creativity and set up different traps to survive.
No more bullets? Summon a giant dwarf from the Wizard's hat. Can't push through the walls of enemies? Fly away on a magic elevator. When you feel like there is no escape, pray and an army of crusaders will storm to you on a dope rear end tram.
Even if that won't better your situation, you can always choose to run away to the forest where you can chill with Gangsta bears!

Features of the game
  • the insane atmosphere filled with fun
  • the rapid pace of the game that won't let you break away
  • endless waves of funky enemies
  • the main boss is a glamorous TREX
  • HOT GIRLS

Keeping on the topic of terrible fetish games, it looks like the developer of Duckles: the Jigsaw Witch had big aspirations for a 2.5D platformer but then got distracted halfway through and made all the bosses big titty witches, filled an entire level with farts, and also forgot to make the rest of the game any good or have any visual coherency at all.
