Not a shill, just thought you all might appreciate this game. A lot of time and work has gone into perfecting it, and I'm sorry if you don't enjoy the alphas from 2 years ago...but let's hear what you DO like.

There is an entire catalogue of threads dedicated to things people on /v/ like.

Someone post the cutscene of the black dude sperging out over anime. I can't believe anyone thought that would pass as "acting."

Trying Too Hard: The Game

Every single element of the game is trying too hard to be "ironic bad" to the point that it actually is bad because the creators didn't understand the basic design principles that are needed to make their project work.

Like for fuck's sake, there's not even a single shot in their entire trailer with decent composition despite the art style being literally made for that shit. It's absurd.
>>
>terrible animation
>terrible artstyle
>everything takes 1000 years to do

It's like a manual on how not to make a game.

The art STYLE is fine, it's in the same vein as stuff like Mega Man Legends and several other PS1 games. The problem is that the way lighting works is inconsistent and sometimes clashes with the style and the design work is absolutely fucking terrible.

The PS1 aesthetic looks sick my nigga regardless of year.

It's a shame this game hasn't pulled the look off at all. I'm all for more legitimate low-poly indies (especially if it means the death of pseudo 8-bit) but this game tries and fails to nail the look it's clearly so desperately trying to mimic. Not helped at all by the atrocious animations

Artstyle is inconsistent. The guys with the beard looks and feel diferent from the girls or the other guy without a beard. Megaman Legends had a really competent chara designer and great art directors.
>>
I'm still not sure what's supposed to be postmodern about this.
>>
>All that low level 3D wasted on shitty hipsters and no other direction
Your game could've been just dismissable but you had to go the extra step and make it disappointing as well.
>>
>>385670791
Bearded character is protagonist. Traditional that protagonist is different from rest of characters.
>>
Calling it now:
It's the devs shilling, but not to sill it for obvious reasons, but to be able to post the results on their tumblr.

You may screencap this.
>>
>>385670395
>Except it looks worse then all of those games outside of shovelware
For the exact reasons I stated. The style itself is fine, but the design work and lighting is wretched and completely ruins it.

>Also this is a 2017 game and yet you compare to games from 1997. Do you see how stupid that sounds?
Are you seriously so fucking stupid that you think that anything that doesn't look like the latest AAA game is shit? Low poly with flats/cel shading is a great style.

Again, I chalk that up to fucking awful design, not the style. The overall style for the game is consistent, but the individual character designs and world design is all over the place without contrasting enough for it to actually work well.
>>
>>385670863
It's far more likely that after multiple shilling attempts, /v/ is finally ironically shilling a game they know is garbage in pursuit of easy (you)'s.

There's no way YIIK's marketing team could be so tone deaf as to keep trying to market their Tumblr game to /v/irgins.

>>385667137

Anyway the main complaint I have about the characters is that they look too much like self-inserts, or OC fanfiction characters. I say this because while everything else about the game is highly stylized, the design of the party members are weirdly realistic. They look like the exact sort of people you could run into on a typical college campus, but run through a PS1 poly filter

In RPGs and video games, heroic characters should be somewhat aspirational. Characters that we would sort of WANT to be, but the only people who want to look like these characters already do. Beard guy looks exactly like someone who would work behind the counter at Best Buy. Who wants to be that guy?

By all accounts ROM hacks are the vaporwave of video games.

If you're asking for a game that covers the "neo-80s/90s/neon-city/virtual-plaza/anime" aesthetics popular in vaporwave and future funk videos, there's probably any number of games already out that cover those aesthetics. Making "a vaporwave game" doesn't really make any sense conceptually unless you mean making a literal meme game like Mall Quest.
