I sense some double standards here where Dark Souls isn't an edgy grimdark series for /v/irgins that like to think they aren't fedora tipping betas but deep down they know that's exactly who they are and the games they play.

But no lets call out this game for it.

It uses iconography similar to Christianity, Catholicism specifically, but the god figures are lovecraftian monsters. Looks cool.

>>377919174
Looks great, but i really hate castlevanias/zelda clones. They could try to come up with different enemies instead of resorting to the ones we are used to.

The big monsters look shitty. Pixel art only works on small characters, if you're including larger stuff they should be made of animated parts else it becomes obvious how choppy the animation is.

>>377919174
Wow, that art looks good. Thanks for the heads up, OP, I'm definitely backing it.

>dark souls invented grim and gothic fantasy
>bloodborne invented blood and visceral visuals
fuck off. you are the absolute lowest common denominator
you're also delusional if you don't think bloodborne is super edgy already

There needs to be more action-horror game, I think that might be my favourite genre now.

I'd unironically buy this because sometimes I'm in the mood for the edgiest shit possible desu

>>377919174
It looks cool though
Are we not allowed to like grimdark gory things here?

So are Lovecraft and silent Hill now Grim dark sickdark edgy shit for kids now? Just because something has a dark aesthetic and is gory or bloody doesn't make it edgy, and even if it is edgy there's literally nothing wrong with that

>>377919174
looks fine to me, would play

>>377919631
just because it incorporates imagery from Pietà?
that is one of the single most iconic pieces of art, and among the most beautiful imo.
besides, we only saw some candles and generic church iconography and an angel statue.
saying it's christian is like saying DS3 is christian for the Cathedrals and angels present in it

The soulsborne series really fucked up any future action RPG game's chances of not being called a clone, huh?

>Bloodborne but everything is metal album art
Seems cool

>>377921328

I don't think anyone is going to call TESVI a Souls clone.

Nice job trying to act smart but the kid has a crown of thorns you fucking faggot.

Is that Laurence?

>>377920536
1 i doubt you've read anything by lovecraft. how can you even compare his writing to this game?
2 what do you do in silent hill compares to the grotesque acts of violence shown in the kickstarter video? let me remind you, in one scene it shows the player character grab the head of a human enemy, and hack repeatedly away at its neck with his sword until he decapitates them.

>>377919330

There's also a big difference between grimdark edgy and things like say Hatred. Which was school shooter-edgy, not that fun of a game to begin with, and nothing else really cool about it. But being edgy doesn't make it a bad game. I gave it a shot, didn't find it that fun. The edginess in that game comes off like some random kid made a game and is made about not having a girlfriend kind of thing. This on the other hand has really cool art and themes in a more traditional way for the edginess which is more my jam.

This so much times.
If it is edgy because yes, shit will look not inspired precisely and the essence of the game will be "killing people cuz is fun xdxdxxd"

But c'mon, looks like this guys have put effort on it.

Btw Im from Spain, and I can assure you that they just copy-paste aesthetic from our churches, so the Spanish Catolicism is edgy, not the game based on it.

>>377923103

>You made this thread yesterday and It also fell flat on it's face.
Well considering the game was less than half funded yesterday and is now already half way towards its first stretch goal, I'd say the OP's efforts weren't in vain.

Holy shit, will the barrage of 2d indie games ever end? At first it was really nice, but holy shit...

>>377919174
So, uh, Salt and Sanctuary 2?

>>377923250
It's amazing how you idiots translate that concept into meaning it actually costs them money to do that.

>>377919330
Whats edgy about dark souls for you my friend? There is no gore or blood in the game at all, you don't even kill people in it, its as subtle as a dark fantasy setting can get. Or skeletons are too "edgy" for you? Or maybe you really havent even touched the games?

>>377922519

>>377921589
TES already has a stamina bar and set in a fantasy setting, the idea of Bethesda getting in on the Souls meme train isn't too farfetched.

>>377922160
i'm completely convinced you didnt' even visit that page. they say nothing about christ, christianity or catholicism.
they say:
>In Blasphemous, we’ve set ourselves an artistic challenge: Can we create a dark fantasy world that is universally appealing, but also deeply inspired by the most meaningful icons of our local folklore? If you play Blasphemous, chances are that you may want to visit the city of Seville (Spain) in the future, to see the locations, traditions and culture that inspired the game.
They take imagery from christian inspiration, and a lot of other shit, if you have the eyes to look at the gameplay footage.

>[you] just wanted to spout the word Pietà

>>377922160
It's based around blasphemy you mongrel, it's blasphemous, unholy imagery, perversion and insult of religion. It's not based "around" it, it's based on perversing it.
And no, I'm not a christian.

>>377923660
Then why bar it behind a paywall? They seem to have the idea to want to do this, but will they not if they don't get their $60k goal?

>>377919174
Welp the shilling worked, that fucking game was at $5000 yesterday

I doubt this will even come out to be honest.

Literally the only Indie "Souls" game that has come out from Kickstarter is Salt & Sanctuary. Even shit that was funded years ago is still unreleased. Like Eitr, or that other 2D sidescroller "souls" game

>>377923824
Well, for people living in Sevilla obviosuly christianity and holy week is going to be a huge inspiration. But other than that, is not about christianity, in the same fashion that any fantastic world with elves and orcs is not the middle earth.

Being able to feel like a action-paced RPG like Bloodborne is another thing entierly when it comes to 2D games.

what part of that did you perceive as "making fun of"? because I definitely did not express any kind of problem with edgy material.

>>377923950
It's a way to make more money. How much money does it cost to a person to serve you a coffee vs how much actually cost the coffee. I wouldn't spend 2-3 weeks programming the boss rush if i'm going to get nothing for it.

The "everything must be EDGY and GRIMDARK" meme needs to stop.

>>377924069
Why do people keep comparing it to Souls/Bloodborne? There's nothing stating it's anything like those games, so I don't understand the comparison. If anything it's like a Castlevania game.

>>377924241
Shut the fuck up, there's not any more 'edgy' games than there's ever been.

>>377924241
so what should every game be? sunshine, lollipops and rainbows?

>>377924553
What's your point? This game clearly isn't anything like those games. Also Salt & Sanctuary already did that.

>>377924172
Well that's the thing, I highly doubt it takes anyone in any game 2-3 weeks to code a boss rush. Majority of the work, the bosses, are already done for you.

>>377924479
if it has swords, guns, any kind of weapons and the gameplay revolves around killing, its edgy and grimdark.

>>377919330
the only thing edgy about dark souls are it's players

>>377924720

>Evocative narrative: Blasphemous’ levels are not just platforms; they tell a story to those who are interested, but don't get in the way if you just want the action.

From the Kickstarter they are certainly trying to sell a game to fans of the souls series.

>>377924985
There's a lot more that goes into anything than just slapping assets together. 80% of games is often just bug fixing shit that shouldn't be messing up.

>>377921660
>1 i doubt you've read anything by lovecraft. how can you even compare his writing to this game?

Not the guy you were replying too, but his writings often feature huge monsters, worshipped as gods, intruding into our reality from some place beyond.

Ghostbusters is referred to as lovecraftian due to featuring an alien god who wishes to destroy civilization, but can only enter our world after a gate is opened via a particular ritual.

>>377919174
looks cool
I hate when games doesn't use proper blacks, and instead use different shades of brown or gray
it is like the gamma is borked

>>377925165
Nah, I could code a boss-rush mode in probably a half hour if I was motivated. It's basically just creating a new level, copying the boss rooms over, removing some scripting at the beginning and end of each boss fight, and then putting a link to that level from the menu with some conditionals that make the menu option only appear after you beat the game. EZ PZ, but you've obviously never worked on a video game, so you're talking out your ass to people that have.

>>377924015
FUCK THIS GAME

Is it better now? I've done a refund back in the days

>>377925860

>>377925164
Are you implying Souls invented environmental storytelling

>>377925165
Making and testing a code that essentially says, "Kill 1, move to/spawn 2, and so on" takes two dedicated weeks and $10,000, or $85/hr for 60hr/wk does not seem reasonable in any sense of the word

>>377919514
shock value for shock value's sake, done to offend those that have offended you simply by setting standards above your own IS bad. It's cheap, shallow, petty, and spiteful. None of those contribute to good art, besides, occasionally, spite..

>>377925908

>>377926045
Every KS does this. They have a low goal so they can achieve it quick, in reality a game like these should cost a million and a half at least, so they distribute the real budget behind stretch goals.

This. I wouldn't be surprised if that level of animation proves too much for the whole game. I suppose we'll have to wait and see how it turns out but, as usual, I'll feel bad for the fools that funded yet another failed kickstarter.

>>377919174

game looks pretty badass, the environments and spritework look really great. something morbidly fascinating about pixel-gore to me.
I'll never play it but looks neat.

edgy isn't inherently bad, not that I need to be the one to say it.

>>377919174
>basically souls mixed with bloodborne
But that's just DaS3.

sidescroller souls games are boring because the 3d level design of one of the best things about souls games. 2d platformers stopped being interesting to explore a while ago IMO. although something designed like fez would work pretty good.

>>377919174

its funny how /v/ calls lots of people cucks but /v/ is the biggest cuck of them all.

what happened, /v/?

So, this is basically Castlevania-like, not Souls-like.
I must say despite being edgy pixelshit, this game does have some charm to its grotesque style. Mite b good.
I'm not giving my money to literally whos though, but I might pick it up when (if) it gets released.

Clearly you haven't played a souls game nor bloodborne. Both are steeped in theological imagery. Plus this game clearly lifts everything in it from those games.

That design is a mix of bloodborne and DS2. That's totally mirror knight mixed with the cone head knights from BB.

>>377927337

>>377923795
Skyrim has already been modded into a Soulsborne clone too. I'm sure that'll be a thing for any future TES granted Bethesda doesn't fuck up modding.

I like the music in the trailer, kinda like doom/drone metal. Fits the game's style and atmosphere.

I'm fairly sure the point everyone's trying to make with the comparison is not the details of the beast's design. But the fact that both are found in the exact same pose, resting on a statue's lap.

I realize that now, my mistake. just fed up with people comparing every dark fantasy setting to soulsborne

>>377931731
Dude it's just some nails stuck into the exact same spot, what's your fucking problem?

Once again, dark souls didn't invent gothic horror. Taking castlevania to a mature level isn't that big of a stretch

Edgy is good. Give me more edgy gore. Praise Satan. Jesus was a gigantic, overhyped faggot and everybody fucked him in the ass.

Not a fan of these types of games but the art style is nice

Nice try op, next time try to include SICKDARK in your trolling

>>377919174
Real subtle marketing there, goy

Looks cool but the game is guaranteed to not look that way.

I really like the Spanish Catholic inspiration of the art style.

>>377922951

It looks pretty solid. The 50k goal is fairly low, but they seem to already have an engine in place, and a good chunk of the artwork. They should have no problems at least packaging up what they have now, and getting it out there, at the very least.

>>377933647
>needing to remind people of your post when nobody gave a shit the first time around
Yeah the aesthetic just happens to be identical

>>377933674
Of course, they are obviously inspired by the Spanish Semana Santa

>>377933674
they aren't in a souls game so no.

>>377933787
It's merely a coincidence.

>>377919514

I can't help but feel like this "le edgy is le bad xd because I said so xd" is a narrative that mostly nintenbros push around here because I always see them saying things like this whenever anyone criticizes their games.

>souls games invented stylized western art
could you soulsdrones please give us a fucking break?

>>377919174
The Last Door is one of the best games I've played in the last couple of years. They managed to convey a real sense of dread and horror with very lo-fi graphics through good writing and sound design. So good.

Looking forward to this one.

>>377919841
>but the god figures are lovecraftian monsters
You mean like Angels? Angels didn't look like winged humans. They were horrifying to look at.

Who the fuck cares about a 2d souls game. I play souls cause it's in the third dimension and has immersive graphics. Keep that pixel shit out of the genre

>>377933674
The enemy is literally called a processioner. That doesn't change the fact that they totally lifted the characters in its design from bloodborne.

>>377933674
Wow, I didn't know spaniards ripped off Souls games for their religious rites

>>377933960

>souls games invented stylized western art
said nobody. Give me a break, nobody is accusing them of infringing copyright, but you can't honestly tell me any aesthetic overlap is "merely coincidental" and "totally not riding the wave of popularity"

I don't even mind because thats how an industry works and moves forward, but these drones pretending like this isn't the case are too pathetic not to call out

>>377921660

Not him but their last game The Last Door was very, very Lovecraftian. He's obviously a big influence on the developers.

you can say they were inspired by soulsborne settings if you want, but I don't think every dark fantasy game should be considered riding on from's coattails
>>377934297
similar setting =/= complete aping of art style

why does it run at a framerate that is worse than a powerpoint slide presentation

BB and DS3 are pretty edgy to begin with. DS1+2 had normal medieval fantasy type monsters, BB introduced all the eldritch abominations and tortured creatures. The only edgy thing in DS1 were Darkwraiths I guess.

that is an exceptionally crude characterization of his writing, more of a "lore" approach, which is something you would expect for DeviantArt, not good literature

>>377919174
are the devs spanish? focusing the art design in Seville isnt quite a common thing

At least there is actual effort behind the art style instead of just being your run for the mill paint tier garbage that indie devs pass as their "art style" nowadays. Will follow the project and then pirate it when it's out.

>>377933875

Also yellow slash effect when you attack something is bad, they should make it a blood splash or something.

But Dark Souls is just 3D Castlevania.

>>377936843
So why compare it to Dark Souls when it's obviously Castlevania?

>>377924012

He's right you idiot. They are just thanking people for the additional donations by including some extra work (which nowhere near costs $5000 in development) to appease fans.

It's like
>hey thanks for supporting us! Here's some more content!
not
>with this extra money we can create more content for you!

>>377931878

Do you have any, ANY experience with developing/coding a game?
He's right. The boss rooms are made, the bosses are made, you just need to make sure the next boss spawns and the arena changes and you're fucking done.

It's seriously not hard, at all.

reminds me stylistically more of diablo/diablo 2 and gameplaywise it reminds me more of splatterhouse/ghostsngoblins t b h

hollow knight already did 2d dark souls
and dark souls is just 3d castlevania anyway

>>377939759
I did and I see way too many Redditors who think Souls games invented a tonne of shit from centuries before videogames even existed (like Christianity, gothic architecture, and creatures that aren't straight from WoW).

Like >>377940059 said, reminds more of Diablo if anything, but no Soulsfag would know that anyway as they weren't even born when Diablo 1 came out (and too young to walk when 2 came out).

>>377919174
Looks cool, but no release till 2019? Damn thats a ways off considering its all ready fully funded. At least by then we should have more than 6 enemy types.

When there's a thread for some niche indie trash no one's heard of two days in a row, it means you're being shilled to by the dev, /v/.

They need 10 thousand dollars to let you load your complete game character into a new game?
>80k nightmare mode
so thirdy grand later we finally get a harder mode?

So a whoping twice the amount of the base asking cost just to give us weekly objectives?

Stretch goals are a joke and the game will probably end up being garbage.
