>My issue with Furi isn’t that it’s too hard. My issue is that the game is too hard in the wrong ways and, perhaps, for the wrong reasons.
>Furi offers a series of boss fights of escalating difficulty. There are no levels in between, no disposable cannon fodder enemies. Just you and the bosses. At the outset, the game offers you two difficulty modes: “Furi (recommended)” and the easier “Promenade.” “Furi” isn’t coy about its difficulty: “The game is balanced to be challenging and demanding,” it confidently explains.
>Although “Promenade” isn’t significantly easier than “Furi,” it does offer you more lives. You’re shamed for picking it, which made me wonder why it was included at all. Really, you’re not only shamed for picking it as much as you’re shamed for being the kind of person who would pick it: “Anyone will be able to enjoy the universe and the story, but the game will be much shorter and very easy. Does not unlock trophies, the Furier difficulty and the Speedrun mode.” After you select “Promenade,” Furi warns you again that you’re a wimp: “Are you sure you want to change the difficulty? It will prevent you from feeling the rush of combat." The word “Promenade” is a constant reminder on-screen that you’re not playing the game right.
>Okay, I thought, I get it. This is a hard game for real gamers.
>As I played Furi, I kept thinking of Hyper Light Drifter, another demanding-by-design slash-and-dash game. HLD has similar combat mechanics but appears more indifferent to its own difficulty. Classier, really. When you die in that game, the music doesn’t even pause. The game’s menus don’t denigrate you for failing to meet its standards; it just implicitly asks you to try harder. Furi, by contrast, antagonizes players with its difficulty so unabashedly that I felt like it was consciously and specifically catering to gamers who like to brag about being good at hard games.

My favorite part is she doesn't explain why it's the "wrong kind of hard", she just complains the game warns you that Promenade isn't how the game is meant to be played.

There is a bug in Stardew Valley that makes it so occasionally a crop wont grow despite being watered.

The next day the patch of soil is damp, and the crop hasn't progressed. It fucks with my OCD so much. Anyone else had this problem?

Is Zenoclash 2 indie even though it's published by Atlus?

>Doing mission to break into GMS vault
>going through the ventilation shafts
>enter a locked room start exploring
>rathounds see me through walls and initiate combat
>cant unlock door to get out and fight rats
>cant interact with ventilation shaft during combat
>cant use psi moves to attack rats even though I can see their outlines through a crack in walls
>cant end combat so I can get away
fuck me

Threadly reminder Undertale is globalist propaganda.

Why are we dying so much.

Post game art you're working on so we don't die.

Does anyone play Gear Up? It's a pretty fun free2play multiplayer tank game with no pay2win and no grind

>>148054942
I played it for about an hour but it got too repetitive and the grind for FUN parts seemed too much.
All I want is something that replicates that Java battlebot arena web game

uh what? you get around 3-5 points per game, most parts cost around 5-12 points. its not grind at all

btw heres a pic of my invisible wall-climbing sniper equipped with 4 cloaking devices

>>148055595
Oh right it wasnt the grind that bothered me. I think it was only being able to have a certain number of items without paying? Thats a cool think tank tho

What games are you guys working on?

I only post here irregularly so I don't know. Sorry. Unrelated question, what would he be like as a Joy mutant?

>>148061183
a giant behemoth. It fits, as he had very big desires that he couldn't fulfill.

So what indie game you jerks jerkin off to?

>>148063576
HomiePop.

>>148059358
Everyone got out of this dead general when they realised how superior /lite/ is

>>148064426
Roguelites suck tho. sadly, they represent most played indies right now

>>148062136
Would he be too big of a guy for Buddy?

>>148064871
i guess, but it would be extremely painful.

I can't believe Off ripped off Machinarium.

So what's the difference between the hard mode of Dashboard and the normal mode aside from just higher level enemies?

>>148063576
MGQ is indie right?
Also Breeding Season, wish those lazy shylocks would finish elf neoteny animations.

Doujin games are literally independant games from japan. Just the scenes are different.

Trying to beat Sunday on Hestonworld.
Hestonworld takes the fun out of Postal 2 since almost 80% of the weapons are unviable.

>>148075937
So it's not good?

>>148077227
Kinda, but it's necessary to get cheats and a few cheevos.

Just started playing LISA

Bo and olan are good.

>>148078413
Terry x Nern x Olan

later replace Olan with Birdie

the literal most powerful team in the game.

>>148077227
Its fun for freeplay and messing around with mods but to play the game vanilla its a chore. It also breaks the Get Down function of the game since everyone will fight back instead. It also breaks the game since people who should have no items, such as captured terrorists, still get rifles.

>The art's good
no

>>148089687
The actual skill is good, it's just that the talent's waisted on something so dumb. If they just drew fan art of like an official character or something it would look good.

WAKE UP INDIE!

What the fuck, why is /indie/ so dead? I leave for a week and when I come back no one is here

>>148097139
The weird part is that it was flourishing a short time ago then just died.

fuck, it didn't die. I'll have to buy a game.

If the first reply to this post ends with 0-4, i'll buy Va-11 Hall-A on GOG. If it ends with 5-9, then it'll be Hylics, or whatever it was called. Those are the two cheapest from my wishlist.

>>148097484
It got flooded with shitposters and then a lot of people who were into it got tired and left

>>148097752
Gud game pls

Mother fucker Super Meat Boy feels like I'm fighting the controls more than anything else, it's so goddamn frustrating

If any of you are into Stardew Valley, I'm doing a challenge run over at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avWMyGtqEcs

The goal is to get 1 million gold within the first year.

Even then it was still not this barren.
