Are you excited for persona: hotline miami edition?

>>376453376
nigger, what? say the actual name.

>>376453460
I'm not sure, but I think it's Midnight Animal. It went full anime out of sudden and people were losing their shit because of that.

Yeah no, fuck that. Why the hell did it went through such an overhaul in it's development? I'm done for some good weebshit. But the dev is really cramming everything down people's throats. First it was an unofficial sequel to HM2, okay, the artstyle is a dead giveaway, but at least it has a target audience. Now, it goes on to say that it's also part "western visual novel" and influenced by the Persona series. ....what?

Does anyone know why the fuck did this happen? I'm down for weebshit but this is just kinda nasty.

>>376454461
It's not influenced at this point, it's straight ripoff with social links and personas

>>376454717
Does the dev shamelessly shed it's mold hoping capture the widest possible audience or is he just fucking retarded on a developer standpoint of being "influenced" by too many things?

>>376454717
I think he played P5 and liked it a little too much.
Like I'm ok with the art style changes, id he wants it to be a weeb game thats fine, but now its just becoming HM with Persona mechanics.

Which, I guess, makes it more unique in a way.

I heard the developer lost his gf and decided to add VN elements and make it about romance as a result, but that was only from /v/ so it could be nonsense.
Is it still a sequel to HM2? I kinda hope it just breaks ties with that series beyond being a total conversion of HM2 and having similar gameplay, the story seemed fucking stupid and it didn't really have the HM vibe based off the demo I played.

I'm not gonna play it anyway though so it doesn't really matter to me.

I would be interested in this game, marginally, if it weren't for the history.
The creator (Spencer Yan) blatantly marketed the thing as an unofficial Hotline Miami 3 from moment one, with original gameplay trailers and the demo reflecting this, and getting Dennaton's blessing to go ahead with the project. After much praise from the Hotline Miami community, and getting the name Midnight Animal lauded around plenty of forums, he does a complete stylistic 180 after his girlfriend dumps him, making it "A Story of Love and Forgetting": a new anime art style, social links, essentially fucking personas added as opposed to masks, an angst main character who I fucking guarantee looks like Yan himself, etc. I understand that a creator can do whatever he likes with his project, but what Spencer did was ride off the back of the Hotline Miami fanbase's good will and word of mouth, waste the blessing of the official creators, and then (along with his retarded fans, who inexplicably exist) respond to any criticism by parroting how "It's my\his game and he can do what he wants" or "I\he never claimed that this was a Hotline Miami sequel", which is patently false and can be debunked by reading the fucking ModDB page.

Fuck Spencer Yan, fuck Midnight Animal, and fuck me for even giving a shit in the first place.

It was supposed to be a Hotline Miami unofficial sequel at first, that's how he got support in the first place; now he want some of that Persona bucks apparently, changed the whole artstyle to be more weeb friendly and added socialization with characters.

Fans of the strictly HM formula are not happy, feeling betrayed and lost.

People are saying there's more to that, dude supposedly lost his mind after losing his girlfriend.

>>376455070

This is legitimately hilarious. Fair enough adopting the social link thing, adding elements of visual novel isn't owned by Atlus I guess. Having it so you can spend train journeys reading, ok, it's obvious what you're copying but alright. But the fucking UI style. Good god man.

>>376455206
Wow no shame at all. Sad part of it is people will defend it, and call it "original".

Friendly reminder that despite Midnight Animal only releasing ONE SINGLE LEVEL in the past two years, there are plenty of fantastic Steam Workshop Hotline Miami 2 campaigns. The ones below are my personal recommendations, and all have custom sprites, completely custom music, and excellent level design.

Don't fret over the "custom soundtrack" thinking it's hard to mod, all you have to do is replace one file, that's it. Takes five seconds.

>Madness
>Rooster
>Hunter Snowfall
>Pigfingers
>Blessed
>Requiem

Those six alone combine into essentially Hotline Miami 3. Don't be stuck waiting another year just for Spencer Yan to say "yep, I'm halting progress ONCE AGAIN, Midnight Animal is on a permanent hiatus."

He doesn't even like Hotline Miami, he made a giant reddit post about how he hates the themes of it (because they go way over his head for being subtle). The game is free, so quite literally the only reason he's releasing this is to portray himself as a badass who gets a ton of anime waifus.

That same argument can be applied to any game. The difference is the way you interact with a game hides the repetition. Persona doesn't even make an attempt at this.

>>376465062
That's the point. Your actions throughout the entire game were meaningless. It's just a collection of snapshots from a bunch of different psychos on the streets, influenced by Jacket, who actually made a mark on history.

No problem man, anytime. Let me know if you have any questions! Also, you probably already know all this, but don't forget: subscribe to a campaign to download it, then look in the description for the custom soundtrack download, then put the .wad file you downloaded in the HM2 folder replacing the old .wad, then launch HM2 and press escape one, then tab twice. You'll see your campaign, then launch the first episode and you're good. It's all quite easy, and I had a blast playing like twenty more hours of HM2.

>>376464814
It would agree with you if the minigames were interesting and hard, but as far as i seen they are slow as fuck and are the same thing every attack, it gets to a point where instead of being interesting or original it becomes something boring and that slows the pace of the game.

>>376465239
Thanks, but that's not substitute for an argument.

>>376465283
Sure, but those have nothing to do with gameplay unless it's a rhythm game.

>>376465123

There is a difference between repetition and downright tedious garbage.

Implementing a minigame at EACH Attack for EACH character at EVERY turn is one of the shittiest gameplay idea ever.

I don't know.

Don't give me that nonsense. The games still have plenty of normal encounters where long basic attacks would become a chore. You could argue YIIK provides you with "more" to do during a fight, but you're really just padding it out by making every single action require a game.
If you want to do that shit, do it like how Lost Odyssey did it.

Its absolute shite, since the game is based on fucking music youd think they would go with the Mother 3 approach where you press the button with the music's rhythm to do extra damage, but no, it has to be fucking minigames that slow down the gameplay so much it takes minutes just to do a basic battle.

you don't get any $ if you do that though, do you? i never really used escapes, just played through each battle like normal.
to add onto that, it's also kind of odd that undertale doesn't regenerate your hp after battles like zeboyd games do. i could understand if ut was a game with planning and resource management, but it really isn't considering the limited inventory and extreme lack of customization. it just forces you to backtrack to the last save point for a heal, which can bloat playtime.

No, just similar.
You guys don't seem to know this, but you are allowed to make a clone or a ripoff of a game. You are allowed to use same mechanics (fun fact: game mechanics _cannot_ be copyrighted or protected in any way), you are allowed to make similarly styled UIs (as long as they're not actually identical, which these are not). As long as it doesn't literally pretend to be the same game (in a way that someone might actually mistake it to be P5), it's totally legal to try and tap that same vein. In fact that's kind of how competition works in all other industries. People don't normally cut it quite this close outside mobiletrash because devs usually have some sense of pride and creativity of their own, but there's no way this is illegal at all. It's just sad.

>>376470106
That's not illegal either, Nintendo are just throwing their weight around because they're used to getting away with it. No actual court would judge in their favor because porn parodies are protected by law.

Fuck, I wanted to make a game similar to persona but with stuff like this I realized everyone's going to want to do that. Wasn't even going to have the same combat system or setting or psychological themes, damn, I just liked the social time management aspect in between battles

How much do I need to avoid to not be a hack?

I really miss them I wish Jake didn't abandon the series because the first chapter was so bad it was good.

now that the HM level editor is released, how is this game even relevant?

the stupidest shit gets buzz Strafe yet perfectly good games exist in complete obscurity

Nothing is stopping you from using the mechanics of Persona.

That aside, the trick is to be original with everything else that isn't the game mechanics. An example I can give from my recent memory would be Shovel Knight. If anything the initial game was just a Megaman clone (of course, melee weapon instead of a buster) with Mario 3's overworld.

But why was it such a success? It's because they putted in effort in coming up with a somewhat interesting setting, great soundtrack, and in later expansions, a plot that have a charm of its own.

Copy the mechanics, but be original with everything else.

Don't worry though, the problem with this fuck is that he "promised" people with one game, and then switched it out with another game, while still copying almost everything recognizable about the said game with no effort put in. I mean fuck, he couldn't even be bothered to change the UI. That shit is literally Persona 5 even to people who have only seen footage of the game.

Are there any other HM2 workshop campaigns with custom music that you'd recommend? I'm finding it challenging to find any more of them, the vast majority seem to just reuse HM2's default soundtrack, which is aggravating to me since I've listened to it so many times already. Also, I meant to say "Blessed Redux" before, since the original Blessed didn't have custom music apparently (I've only played the Redux, but on the original's page there's no mention of a music wad.)

>Redial died for this.
Redial's soundtrack was so incredibly good, it's a massive shame the developer ended up deleting the 25-minute soundtrack video off youtube, it was some excellent synthwave. Synthwave tracks are so easy to find, but hard to attain ones with depth, if that makes any sense.

i've talked to the guy that's making this. hes pretty fucking autismo and hard to work with.i wasn't really surprised when the sudden changed happened. he always went on about making a sequel after Midnight Animal and doing a visual novel. i wonder if the shit i contributed will still be in the game, what a mistake wew.
