I'll say it can be difficult to bring new people in to your patreon constantly. Plus it's always going to be less than 1% of your audience that actually financially supports you because the other 99% just want free entertainment and don't give a gently caress. That's why ad revenue can be so important for some people

i was given a review copy of Featherpunk Prime, its a combination of platformer and twin stick shooter where you are a cyber flamingo the movement is a little like mega man X, you have a dash, you have the ability to walljump upwards off of one wall, you have a slide (I didn't use this too often), a double jump (which can be upgraded to a triple jump) the levels are randomized but the game takes the Spelunky path of "get to level (X) and you can unlock a checkpoint to start from in future runs" there are persistent upgrades but they aren't required to beat the game; though the enemies' HP goes up with each floor, their dmg to you (at least through floor 12) is the same across all floors, so if you want to play hardcore you should be able to beat it purely on skill. this may not matter to some people but it matters to me because I don't like Grind to Win games you can carry two weapons and each new floor you can swap out one of your weapons for a new weapon. so far i've seen pistol, shotgun, crossbow, bouncegun, and minigun. I'm assuming there will be more as the game goes on (there are 48 floors in total)  the upgrades are things like max health, weapon dmg, reload speed, critical hit chance/dmg. you don't level up in the game; enemies drop cells (and there are tons of cells all around each floor to pick up) that get banked at the end of each floor. the first max health upgrade costs 2000 cells and I got 1300 in one floor just to give an example. here's a boss, it's 3D not sprites but the animation is really nice. the aesthetic is funky and strange with intentionally clashing colors. the music is nice and reminds me of the old MOD/S3M scene but modernized  I thought it was cool. i dunno what the price will be but it comes out today. i've only played up to floor 12 so far. i'm wondering if more guns will come or what they'll do to keep the floor-based nature of the game from getting monotonous. they have been introducing more enemies at least I also got a review copy of Big Action Mega Fight but there's a resolution problem with the latest update that they're working on to fix so I can't talk about that one yet e: oh yeah, the game defaults to LB for jump, A to pick up weapons, X to reload, but you can remap the controls (I preferred A to jump, X to pick up, LB to reload) The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Sep 1, 2016 |

BexGu posted:Titan Quest Anniversary Edition just came out with a crap ton of balance changes, updates, bugs fixes, and mod support. The best part? If you've already own Titan Quest/Immortal Throne on Steam you automatically get the new edition that combines both into one neat little package. For every one else its only $5 right now so I highly recommend it to any one that wants a ARPG that takes place in some place other then generic middle age fantasy.

corn in the bible posted:how come i dont get review copies, this is bullshit https://dodistribute.com/browse/ is made by vlambeer and is about as direct a request line as you can get from automation https://evolve.terminals.io/ is by Evolve PR, i'm not sure what accreditation they're looking for in accepting people https://www.keymailer.co/ is by I think a Yogscaster, this one's a little weird because they just add any game to their database whether the dev knows about them or not, so your chances might be better just asking devs directly. all this site requires is 50 subs from your youtube channel or twitch channel and some properly tagged videos in your feed in general indie devs are just super nice and willing to give games to people who want to play them and recommend them to others, i don't know that your stats are even all that important so much as just getting the word out. consider that on any given day like 30 different indie games get released, i think devs really want to get their games out there as much as possible The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Sep 2, 2016 |

to give an example, indie games released in the past 24 hours: runescape: idle adventures epic battle fantasy 3 the underground man lost castle blind blades ian's eyes featherpunk prime a matter of murder windscape don't crawl cashtronauts magnetta wasps rungunjumpgun shiny battle knights hack slash & backstab torsion neurovoider tahira the majority of those might be bad but at the same time, you release among all those games and you'll want to get your game out there to stand out among them. "good work sells itself" i think is not necessarily true for indie games considering not enough people own GOTY of all years Full Bore then tomorrow you have: redout de-void seasons after fall metris soccer cliff hanger (not the FMV game  )Deadly Rooms of Death: gunthro and the epic blunder toricky dumb chicken 2: no way out alpha decay the seeker hellangel tangled up space hole grid legion storm isomorph wont you be my laser lords of the earth flame the signal to noise ratio is starting to get loving crazy. it's crazy that that many games are releasing on a friday, because of the floodgates being that wide open indiegala is probably clapping with glee

copy kitty thoughts this game kinda rules. it's not a beautiful game but it's a really fun one. i don't have gifs this time because everything in the game is so hectic that a GIF would be like a thousand megabytes, here's the steam page so you can watch the trailer http://store.steampowered.com/app/349250/ it's kirby meets megaman. every enemy has a power you can pick up and use as a weapon, and you can combine up to 3 of them to make a brand new weapon, from laser swords to plasma tornados to homing grenades even though it's an early access game the game is 90% complete so there are 100+ levels and nearly a couple dozen bosses in the game, along with a hard mode, endless mode, a second protagonist with his own mechanics, and a bestiary it's really frenetic, and every level gives you new combinations of powers to combine so you're almost always going to have a brand new weapon to discover. apparently there's a demo out there on itch.io somewhere if you want to try it out

i may as well share thoughts on a couple other games i've played because i've played a TON in the past week mandagon: this is a free game on steam that is super chill, it's only 20 minutes but you're a little totem dude looking for tablets to place into warp portals. the visuals are like Fez, high quality pixels port of call: another free game on steam, this is a kind of odd one, it's a walking sim, it's not the best looking game but most free walky games aren't. you're on a death ship talking to dead people and helping them pass on big action mega fight: this one was a bit of a disappointment because I like the art of it, I like double stallion and their ok KO game, I just think that it needs tweaking to be a better game. for starters, enemy reaction times are way too slow in the first 2/3rds of the game, that you likely won't even be damaged until level 15-16 (there are 35 levels in the game). there also isn't enough enemy variety as the color palette swaps come out pretty quickly. the combat is very basic for a Final Fight tribute, with no jump/jumpkick, and no real comboing. Just basic punch, uppercut, throw, and tuck roll. I think the game needs a little more time in the oven to tweak damage values, HP values, things like that. It's a mobile port to PC and I think maybe it was balanced for mobile gamers. If they can rebalance it I think it'd be decent.

plantera is a clicker game about farming i dont know how to compare some clicker games to others. it reminds me of an iOS app that i cant remember the name of it, but it was a town with animals. each thing you plant produces stuff that your blue helper guys pick up (or you can click on them) to get coins, levelling up gives you new things to plant that gives you more money per harvest, plus farm animals that produce eggs and manure and shoes (???). there are bad animals that sneak onto your farm to eat your poo poo and scare off your animals and you have to click on them to chase em off. eventually you can buy scarecrows and guard dogs so yeah like any clicker you eventually can automate everything and just come back to the game a couple days later and see how much you've made. I think it would be better on iOS because that lends itself to checking in on your situation whenever you want. it's a nice chill game for a couple bucks though. i'm surprised they didn't go F2P with IAP like just about every other clicker. there's really not much content-wise to the farm though, I got to level 10 in a half hour and the unlocks seem to stop around level 20

its a day later and i still think the PS Pro is the dumbest thing iterative hardware makes sense with phones because you're already tied into contracts that bring the price down. it cost me $99 to upgrade from an iphone 4 to the latest one. if i had to pay $400 i wouldn't upgrade!!! and of course it makes sense with PCs because they are for literally all purposes and between DOSbox and emulators have backwards compatibility extending back to the beginning of gaming the PS Pro is just like. what if we did the Nintendo New 3DS but without an exclusive game and developers still arent forced to support it? and to make the phone comparison, older iterations lose support eventually, like the iPhone 4 cant run any app made after 2014 basically. so its like the worlds worst subscription because you don't need a console like you need a phone, and it costs way more The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Sep 8, 2016 |

okay, i finished seasons after fall. how do i grade this, hmm... my experience with the game was very up and down. let's start with the best aspect, the visuals  it stands alongside the UbiArts games and Ori as top 2D environmental art. there's no disputing that. this is most likely the primary reason people buy the game the mechanic of the game is switching between seasons, which changes the way the environment works, and you do this to solve puzzles and navigate around a lot of platforming. spring is rainy and fills up basins, winter freezes geysers and lakes, fall increases wind currents and grows mushroom platforms, and summer is for the most part useless. let's talk about game structure. you start off in summer, and have to get each season one by one. this segment takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours and is practically on autopilot. one steam reviewer compared it to a walking sim and i kind of agree. you just experience narrative, then you run to a season's guardian without doing much of anything, get their power, and then there's some light puzzling on the way back to the hub. rinse and repeat 3 more times. no fast travel yet, mind you. so, enjoy that the second part of the game is the good part of the game in which you.. go back to the areas you went to before, but use your powers to find wind stones and power them up. these are the most puzzly moments of the game, so even though you revisit areas it's at least in a new context and new paths open up. the third part of the game is.. you go back to the areas you went to before, AGAIN, this time to find altars and power them. to say this game is unambitious from a game design standpoint is underselling it. it's almost like alan wake american nightmare. one altar requires fumbling around in the dark finding light crystals that only light up a tiny area around them. the other three are almost as much an autopilot as the first part of the game where you're just going to the obvious areas and doing obvious things. wasn't thrilled with this. it's basically A+ visuals wrapped around a C+ game. i think it could be a lot better and the puzzles could've been a lot more challenging. the platforming is very mild and there are no hazards in the game. this makes the game chill, but i dont think the gameplay loop lends itself to a chill experience.
