/indie/ - Indie Games General

Hey, I killed all the warlords in Joyful. How do I go to the Arkantos areas? Do I need to kill Yado and go though the ending cutscene stuff?

Nope. You need to go at the start of the long rope climb.

But that just happened, it stayed dead for about two days and the longest it did stay dead was about 3.

I found this video. I thought it was pretty sweet, although I know it wasn't meant to be.

Warning for the easily triggered: it contains an Undertale song

Do I need to climb up the long rope? I went there, and then kept going right thinking it'd be a new zone (like how you get to the joy lab) but I just wound up dying.

It's the general that's never alive but refuses to stay dead.

You need to kill ALL of the warlords tho. You don't need to climb it. There should be a weird guy in a red shirt waiting for you.

>There should be a weird guy in a red shirt waiting for you.

Oh thanks. My laptop is a piece of crap, so on large maps like the rope climb and Sindy's arrow cave, my game screen freezes up, but I can still move the character around.

>still no cookie clicker in the OP

I kill la killed all 6 warlords, but still no guy shows up.

>that undertale music
good way of ruining the video

Oh wait, I see the problem. I installed Hell mode instead of Arkantos. I hope this doesn't mean I have to restart.

I got the new Humble Bundle, the hell is Choice Chamber?

Looks like a game that takes full advantage of Twitch. That's actually kind a cool idea. I think you can play it without twitch but I don't know since I've just barely looked it up.

Anyone making a game?

I was looking though the RPGmaker ace tutorials in hopes of making a Joyful mod one day (so I'm just following the steps to make a basic barebones RPG, but I put it aside for the moment because I wanted to try the Arkantos mod.

Question: That whole killing the warlords to get to the top of the list thing is just a means to an end (getting her freedom to explore the world as she pleases without others placing rape and/or control her) so this is just a "what if" type scenario where Buddy decides to form her own pressgang/army out of the warlords instead of killing him. I was pondering how that might affect the story. For example, do you think Rando would still have left Buddy in the middle of her quest if she allowed Vega, Lardy, and Mr Beautiful to live? Or would he still leave because she still had to slice up a lot of their goons?

I was thinking maybe he'd stick around longer, but still get killed off at some point. I was thinking of redesigning him to be somewhat like Tellah from Final Fantasy IV: Strong at first, but gets weaker and lags behind other party members as time goes on. In FFIV, Tellah's stats actually go lower each time he levels up. I was thinking as Buddy got further along her quest, Rando's condition would deteriorate due getting the beat down from Brad, to the point where he sometimes coughs up blood instead of attacking or falls asleep in battle due to staying up all night watching Buddy. I haven't messed around enough in RPGmaker to see if any of this stuff can actually be put into the game though.

Oh man, that sounds really cool. Wasn't there a mod like that being made, or at least something sorta similar with like Buddy and an OC girl?

Nah you can continue from a Hell Mode Remix save. I don't think I changed anything before Arkantos itself.

Oh, I also forgot to mention a bug I found, although it's from hellmode, not Arkantos: You can level Gary up to level 70 (he starts at level 69, very mature BKD,) and he gets two new moves. However, they're not flagged to "Battle only" so you can use them outside of battle. However, since they stun and burn enemies, it does nothing outside of battle except waste SP.

There are (were?) two mods like that: One was being made by this guy:
boards.fireden.net/vg/search/username/JoyfulButWithAnActualParty-Guy/
You can look though the archived posts to see what kind of stuff he's came out with like this Lil' Lincoln.

I think the OC girl is from Arkantos, which is already available. There is a link for it in the booru forums.

There are at least two canceled fangames: The Terry the Hintful fangame, and some sort of different game starring a new character that too place after the flash, but before Olathe went full Apocalypse (you could see policemen, priests, etc.) I think it was called Lisa the Spiteful.

Other people are working on mods, but are generally keeping things low key after seeing those two canceled games get hyped up and then come to a disappointing conclusion.

I found this though:

youtube.com/watch?v=8PXmMcrdPjA

I think there is another video of the mod where the main character finds a girl hiding, and she asks if it's same to come out. It seems to be unrelated to Brad's and Buddy's stories.

Pruf actually made Gary and Hell Mode itself, which is named the Joyful Gameplay changes and additions mod. BKD only expanded upon it.
That mod is by RhytmCesar and his self-insert buddies. He also posted a Columbo fight, which shows most of his potential. Overall, I think he's kinda lazy in mod making, but has the potential to be a good mod maker.

Also some random mod made for a streamer:
youtube.com/watch?v=VVUNpjtQznU

Oh ok. I was wondering what ever happened to that one Buddy mod. I thought that the lil Lincoln mod was part of that mod though. Guess I was wrong. I'm surprised there's not a crossover mod between Lisa and some other game honestly.

Might as well spitball other ideas because why not: Bosses are different depending on what order you fight them in. For example, the last fight will always be a joy mutant fight, rendering the final warlord unrecruitable. If Sindy is fought last one or more of the cultists will have mutated and Buddy will find Sindy has been eaten/torn apart by the mutant.

If Lardy is fought as the 3rd guy, you fight him while he is driving the truck Buddy normally fights him inside of, peeling out on Buddy and co like a maniac.

If Mr B is fought 3rd, whatever surviving BBB's will join the fight and not hold back. I was thinking if Buddy had killed them all beforehand, Mr B would simply walk off the cliff you find him at and kill himself upon defeat instead of joining Buddy.

Not sure what to do with Vega though.

>Undertale music
Had to mute the video, otherwise pretty good.

Indie game of her when?

Right after Creepy Susie gets one.

I noticed Shocklord looks away from you in the final fight.

Not even Terry as much of a bro as he.

Something something Fran Bow and/or American McGee's Alice.

>I noticed Shocklord looks away from you in the final fight.

Shocklord is always facing the wrong way during cutscenes with him in it. Try getting him kidnapped or bringing him to the "kill your guys or lose Buddy's nipple" scene.

Just goes to show he can't look Brad in the eye.

Just finished my Pain Mode run and finished up Lisa for the time being. It was a lot easier than I anticipated, in fact, the bonus content meant my characters (Brad and Terry in particular) were hideously overleveled by the end of the game with no need to grind. The ten mystery cheevos still missing kind of bug me but not that much.

My president is Chuck Heston

Dude, Shocklord can't even see out of that mask.
This is literally him. youtu.be/p7Q4EVpIFIk

I agree

Anyone working on fan art or art for their game that they're TOTALLY making?

>He's not gone
>I thought he was gone but he's not
Are you that guy who always posted ">Everyone who disagrees with me is x"

or are you just into chara.
If it's the latter then your cool

how can you possibly know whether or not that was just one person
there's 18 IPs in this thread right now
literally any post could be from any one of those IPs
why assume

why assume?

You know it was a bunch of people right?

It doesn't matter who it was it was cancerous and it killed the discussion in the thread.
Let's just not talk about it from now on.

So what should we talk about? RPG Maker games, game maker indies, weeb indies, /indie/ indies, or something?

>it killed the discussion in the thread
in your opinion

>Let's just not talk about it from now on
do you just want a hugbox? an echo-chamber?
sounds like maybe tumblr or reddit is more your style, my lad

>RPG Maker games, game maker indies, weeb indies, /indie/ indies, or something?
Literally all of those things are good to talk about.

Have you guys played downwell? I really hate the bats, I feel like their hitboxes aren't where they should be.

How much was Undertale inspired by Off? They're weirdly similar in how they go about with the forth wall in a few aspects.

I haven't really played it but I've watch a bit of it and plan on getting it. Seems like a really fun. It's got only one boss though right? Also what's so wrong about the bats, they sorta feel almost like they have a sorta laggy hit box or something?

undermeme was a big ripoff game figuratively written by tumblr, literally written by the homestuck team with "creative direction" from an iraqi jew
literally made to capitalize on the "impressionable hyperliberalized millennial" audience

>iraqi jew
Is that true? Is Toby Fox really an iraqi kike? I'm not surprised with the only white male in the game being some utter incarnation of evil, but...

It's true.

So is Scott Cawthon. He used to do 3D work for Hebrew games pre-2000, before he got into the indie scene.

I believe it.

I don't believe this.

I thought Cawthon was a Christian, not a Jew. Could've sworn I heard his pre-fnaf stuff was a bunch of Christian games.

Yeah, that's why it's such a big conspiracy. He made Christian games after 2000, but it's obvious it's all a farce due to his abuse in milking the FNAF series and intentionally brainwashing children with degenerate furry robots. The only evidence I can find for his pre-2000 work with Israeli is his nod to the old company logo and his "Chipper" game, which actually started the whole FNAF thing.
old-games.org/share.php?game=16264
he.wikipedia.org/wiki/מחשבת_(חברה)

Yeah, mostly. He also made the Desolate Hope, which is balls to the walls awesome.

Theres been a thread every day this week

Wasn't his logo just from some game he made of a dude running around? Also that fish beaver game thing doesn't really look llike something he'd make honestly.

The way you talk makes you sound like a newfag who thinks
>lol this is le epic Veeky Forums meme we gotta shitpost and act like cunts 24/7 lel

Also
>lads
You were the one who legitimately thought Karbonic had a cult, werent you

>using the newfag meme (invented by /b/)
>using the le greentext meme (invented by reddit)

>not knowing that the lad meme (invented by /sp/) has been common use on Veeky Forums since the dawn

>bringing up karbonic in a completely unrelated conversation just for the sake of you being able to paint a strawman

you're not good at this are you

Based Terry
I like Undertale and especially Fox's OST but this track doesnt mesh well with the visuals

I heard the creator of Nidhogg is a big asshole, whats that about

are you seriously denying the existence of karbonic's harem of brainwashed little millennial fagslaves, hiding in their secret steam circlejerk, waiting on his every beck and call to shill his game and defensively shitpost whenever someone calls him out for being the slimy little worm wretch faggot he is

>I like Undertale
you need to leave

>secret steam circlejerk
once again that's a straight up lie.
The steam group was in the op but someone removed it

I smell ulterior motives.

>karbonic has literally 100% of the power, ruling as supreme steam dictator for life, and anyone who voices even the slightest amount of disagreement with him is unpersoned immediately

might as well be le secret stasi police at that rate

KIDF samefag

What a neat reference. I need to get into wrestling.

I just found out dashbored was mentioned on the Pizza Party Podcast. Guess Karb really is friends with nolan.

Ask Toby yourself. He probably has seen OFF since hes a big Earthbound fan and the OFF translation was a thing on the Earthbound fanforums IIRC.

I might do that actually, but he obviously won't respond.

Why is it called dashbored, is it about cars?
Is that why he's called karbonic?

That's...actually a good question.

He still responds to random tweets once a month I think. Hard for him to filter through the degeneracy probably.

Good point. Feel sorry for him for having a crap fanbase, but at least he's (probably) rich now.

About to start LISA for the first time. Any advice?

Get the good party members

Forgot to mention that I'm going on Pain Mode. How fucked am I?

Literally all these threads are are 50% talking about LISA and the other 50% talking about jew indie game conspiracy

nobody said anything about jews though dude

remember that you can always dismiss any posts that you disagree with as being the work of a single nebulous and abstract boogeyman figure

It might have been just a job for him. The guys still gotta eat.

It gave use le sexy spooder though.

hey lad you never updated us on whether or not you finally finished that fetch quest in the Junkyard

Not yet, I had put the game on hold to try out the Lisa mods. Last place I was had an autoturret and those annoying barfing dogs.

I heard you can only get the South Gate to support the Black Eels if you have about 40 persuasion, is this true? If so, I might have to invest some points in that next time I level up.

I never really bothered with doing much of the Junkyard plot lines after getting that drill bit. I put like 30 points into Persuasion in my first few levels and haven't touched it since. I found Intimidation to be much more useful.

Right now I'm working on a rather annoying stealth op, trying to steal a crate of shield emitters from some Protectorate faggots in Core City. Probably would be a lot easier if I actually had points in Stealth, but fuck it, I don't care enough to go back and grind points for Stealth instead.

Auto-Turrets should not give you a problem if you have an anti-rifle vest with 7 or more DT. I got a 7 DT anti-rifle vest very early on and it trivialized most gun enemy encounters for several levels afterwards. Then I upgraded to a 14 DT vest which has still kept most gun encounters quite easy. Shock crossbow faggots and melee stunners still fuck me over occasionally though, but now that I have an energy shield those are a bit easier to deal with.

Ah, I got no gun skills, the guy I'm running is a psychic. Pretty squishy, but dodgy to compensate.

>find open vent shaft
>as far as I know, there isn't any way to "peek" though an open air vent like there is with a closed one, so I just hop though
>smack dab in the middle of 3 muties, with me being right next to one
>luckily, I had high stealth, so they didn't notice me by the time I NOPED right out of there.

You might be able to find some Mutated Dog Leather gear in the Old Junkyard, which will give you some DT against acid, really helps in mutant encounters.

I assume you're probably already doing this, but really do remember to stock up on psi boosters and adrenaline before every encounter. Having that extra 20 AP for the first three turns will let you get off a lot of your most powerful stuff quickly, and psi boosters will make up for the fact that, unless you exclusively pumped Will and Intelligence on character generation, your psi regeneration probably isn't going to be enough to keep using most of your abilities every turn.
Also, try to initiate combat manually yourself whenever possible, so you always get the first turn.

Not having any weapon skills might come back to bite you really hard later in the game. You may want to consider putting points into at least one of the weapon disciplines. Enough points in Throwing to reliably hit other people with grenades, if nothing else.

If you're very lucky, Ezra at SGS might throw a shield emitter into his stock, even as early in the game as you're at. Try to get one as soon as you can, it really helps a lot with pretty much every encounter.

I got to get more adrenaline. I've mostly just been using what I find, which isn't that much and I've just been saving it for big battles.

I got like 45 in dodge and evasion each, but I think I'll start allocating the points in those to persuasion and intimidate because I don't feel like starting the game over. I might put more points into dodge and evasion again if there is a feat I want though later on, but I like taking the speech options to see what people have to say.

Go ask him on his twitter or something, I don't think he comes around here anymore.

It's probably about the car

bump

Post cute!

Don't do that first, there are some things that you miss out on in normal mode. You're better off doing that first and pain mode later.
