First for forced TGTF game

But that's 3D pixel art and it's not as easy as you think.
Actually I've tried that and failed, it's not like there are good references around here.

>embed embed
why is it impossible for people to make new threads properly.

and /agdg/ said that cute girls aren't literally the only thing that matters in a game

>everyone is rotate

You've just named your problem. You are not setting your goals according to your resources. If you are not good at basketball, don't play it, but there are still plenty of sports out there that you can do.

On a side note: most unhappiness comes from standards and dreams which are not rooted in reality.

Here, have bigger waifus

>If you are not good at basketball, don't play it,
or you know, just practice and git gud instead of giving up the second you miss one shot

STEAMCHAT AND ROTATE DID THIS

I KNOW IT

ROTATE IS HERE AMONG US R I G H T N O W

Sorry, not the artist, just upscaled op's image. But I agree, if the artist has a blog I want a fucking link to follow them.

>his thread fails
>he commences shitposting

>b-but you're just a tin-foil

alri /agdg/, you'll believe me eventually.

Blakey boy, are you here? Of course you are. Look at that view counter tick up and up and up! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. :)

...

Thanks, man!

>responding to rotate
wew lad

>all those declarations in the middle of his main
disgusting japs

Yeah, or that.

Given two otherwise identical threads, I will ALWAYS post in the anime one.

I'm sure all yesdevs agree with me.

...

good post

Yes

Yes.

Yes

...

Looks like the inmates are really running the asylum now......................

Where's page 3

t-thanks anime

You actually watched something that wasn't an obscure gimmick show or sports?
I'm proud of you Googum.

yup

Anime wins again

agdg-chan, daisuki~

...

...

Why'd you respond with only a quote, m8?

This is a fucking good thread, boys.

Indeed.

>Want to progress
>Can't stop posting anime

Why not do both?

Anime IS progress!

This thread gave me the best idea ever.
Visual novel/dating sim with the waifu jams

How wide is your game, /agdg/?

It isn't, though.

what are you talking about? that's some niche otaku-ero-gag-anime i posted, unlike my normal posts of popular stuff like Kaiji.

Not enough.

Anime. Is. PROGRESS!

>niche
hardly considering it was on netflix a few months ago

Cute Jam when?

Pedo Jam when?

>dumb retard thinks OP is anime and spergs out
>subhuman anime shitposters think the OP is anime and use it as an excuse for next level shitposting

I wish every single person that has ever posted in /agdg/ would fucking die. Yes, that includes me.

Do dogs count as anime?

right now

Make that dog anime!

>subhuman anime shitposters think the OP is anime and use it as an excuse for next level shitposting
Not at all, I think everyone else knows where those bitches came from. But if the anime shitposting pissess off the dumb retard that didn't even more I'm happy with it.

Like the place /agdg/ is going.

Anyone looking to hire a musician?

It's one thing to post anime

It's another to only post anime

Post some progress. I'm working on my UI and setting up a timer. Each level will have a "Star completion" time which is set per level. The timer will also transition from White to Yellow To Orange To Red based on how badly you do against your previous best scores.

My current idea is
>0 seconds worse -> yellow
>90 seconds worse -> orange
>180 seconds worse -> red

Making music isn't even a job.

Completely off-topic?

Lol okay

I said going not at home.

I've played a couple hours of this to steal ideas.

>maps are 2D
>maps are more often than not squares

>the game asks for input on choices every few lines of text in the story
>the choices presented give unexpected results

why is this game so popular/known?


you should scale the timer values based on the star completion time, unless all levels take the same time to complete.

It's just video games. Y U Heff 2 B Mad??

Rather than making pointless anime posts you should have worked on a anime game for the jam instead. Which proves that you really just want to shitpost.

>I played a shit game to steal ideas from
good job

>anime game
I just don't have the talent to do that.

Post dev inspiration!

ahh yes brb while I go grab my art skills

Where's your game where the male hero is turned into a little girl and is raised by the villain?

>he takes undependable, fleeting inspiration over discipline
How to spot a shitter.

>he doesn't use both
how to stop a true shitter

>loyal babushka from the old country has concerm from the heart......dont eat all your candies at once lad
this motivates me

>

it's late,you knew what I meant.

>you should scale the timer values based on the star completion time, unless all levels take the same time to complete.
I was thinking that, but I have to do 2 things
1) Display when the user loses to their best time
2) Display when the user loses to the star time

My current way is to change the color of the timer based off the user's best time, and to have a star icon next to the timer that stays as long as you are better than the star time, but fades once you get past it.

>why is this game so popular/known?

My guess is because It was given to a lot of youtubers for review, and It wasn't the kind of youtubers that usually play eastern-rpg-ish turn-based animu shit.

This being a type of game they never touch with the bonuses of a mythical viking based setting and hand-drawn-looking art somehow made it appear greater than the sum of its parts, thus getting it high praise from said reviewers.

All the pieces elevate one another to a higher level, one would argue, but the matter of fact is that a bunch of sheeople follow these review and praises and play it, though i doubt 90% of the game's playerbase actually finished it.

Personally I found everything lacking. The combat options and unit abilities, the story, the writing, the artstyle, hell, even the UI icons and design look boring and uninspired. An artist will tell you that even the pretty backdrop maps have issues with ligtning and so on. I can spot at least 5 shadows out of place in that screenshot alone and it drives me nuts.

Its one of the few western fantasy based tactical RPGs. Thats probably the main reason.

tldr; devs got lucky.

Not with that attitude of course.
If you at least tried people here would respect you more.

>implying niche anime doesnt reach the western market

Nice DC, nerd.

Nicee

hell some might say the majority of western market anime are niche due to them not being profitable in japan

Sometimes people are so excited about a concept that they will ignore the execution.

Not something I'd count on to get successful, though. What exact concepts players crave are unpredictable and fleeting.

>Googum spazzes out on DC because he mislabeled an anime and tarnished his /agdg/-cred
wew

>Sometimes people are so excited about a concept that they will ignore the execution
This, is exactly why people were excited for games like Tree of Savior, and even when they got dissapointed by its many flaws, they keep playing it.
