Kyrieru's new game!

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

He updated it after I referred to the practice images, so that's what he was talking about.

As for the front page, it's fine. Like I said, I just don't think it's necessary to update it so often. Generally people just care if there's a demo or not. Otherwise it's like..a blog of a blog..

Kyrieru try several techniques to make these animated CG. Hopefully he keeps his motivation until the end.

When not even the almighty "reboot your computer" trick doesn't fix it, you know it's screwed.

It's strange that it would just.. stop working like that though. I don't think I've ever had a program behave in such a way.

Two blogs aren't such a bad idea. ^_^

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

You fooling around with animating made me want to play with it *animates breasts bouncing* And on this day, I discovered my love of animation. So hypnotic... This is a nice break from just drawing for sure and opens up a lot of new possibilities with enough practice~

I haven't really tried tweening or that "hybrid animation" style, but I gotta say, so far, frame by frame animation is extremely fun. I remember you were playing with it awhile ago Kyrieru, trying to practice with flash more. Try playing with boob physics(If you haven't already) if you have time. I've been playing with this for hours, just messing with timing, trying to smooth things out, practicing exaggerating physics, etc, etc. Now I understand why hentais usually have crazy boob physics. This is way too much fun.

Probably pretty difficult to keep sizes and such accurate with frame by frame, so it might be extra work for games, who knows. It doesn't seem too bad though for simple h animations.

For someone called thoughtmachine, you don't think much.

He has a point though. Too many people complain about free stuff. If you want a better game you should contribute to the author (and I'm no shiny paladin here, I pirate a LOT of stuff including games)

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

People do tend to get entitled. But people also tend to get sensitive too. A criticism isn't inherently negative. Constructive criticism is used to lead to improvement. In this way, criticism is a contribution. And airing negativity should never be censored just cuz people don't want feelings hurt.

New game sometime next month. Might not be a demo this time. I'm really looking forward to run-and-gun platforming with dinosaur enemies, maybe I'll emulate an old Jurassic Park game in the meantime.

Might not be a demo for this one. Does this mean the game comes out sooner?

I need something to play until MoGi Origins is ready.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

There will still be a demo, it's just that it will come out when the game is done, or a little bit before it.

I just don't like doing early demos for games like this were there's exploration and backtracking. It makes me fixate on a single area when metroidvania's are supposed to thrive on scale. I think it's better that I wait until I have the rest of the map done before choosing what will be sectioned off.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

I really like the rogue like idea. A problem that I have in h games is most lack the difficulty of one. I used to play Hellmoo back when it was actually Hellmoo, another one I like is "Rogue Survivor (Zombie roguelike, was only single player unlike Hellmoo)" but that was sadly scrapped. If you could translate those well to a more visual 2d h game, that'd be amazing.

Also playing Dark Souls 2 religiously lately, you can tell I love the perma death/death actually sucks type of games. Make people work for their porn, heh. It makes it that much better when it's not easy. Or a game where you actually don't want to be raped/killed, but it's going to happen anyways, a lot. If I ever work up to being able to make games, it'll be like that. There are a lot of different ways you can use it.

I can't play Dark Souls 2 until I finish this game. Because I know I'm going to want to play it a lot -__-

Destructive hype is destructive.

Stop being hyped and you won't be dissapointed, or be civil and understanding, either works.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

Wow, the comments on Kyrieru's blog are, well, toxic. Our resident Toxic here might have to work to defend their good name in the face of this raw toxicity.

It might be worth noting that a number of Japanese devs are moving away form demos and only doing locked builds for testing, which they only distribute to a small number of testers. When I see things like this, I don't blame them.

I actually did get the game playtested by a few people the day before I planned on the releasing it. The feedback I got from that is more or less why I decided to wait until finishing the game.

As for the comments, it's hard to get too upset when so many of them are blatantly stupid or based in speculation. You more or less just have to sift through the stupid comments and find the respectable people with sensible ones, and think about how you can take their complaints into consideration.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

I don't know why people try to make themselves look like asshats as anons when commenting to game devs. Anybody with any anti-troll sense whatsoever will just treat those messages like spam mail. Like it's that hard to be constructive with your criticism x.X

I agree that Kyrieru shouldn't mention release dates until whatever it is he's trying to release is actually complete. You can see the negativity it's been causing by setting release dates and not delivering on them consistently. I think that's the biggest problem. You can't stop all the idiots from being idiots, but you can stop yourself from giving them ammunition to attack you with~

 

[Picaboo]

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

I too read the comments on his blog and was surprised by how much hate this caused. I was disappointed also but the release date of the full game is not that far of. Two to Four weeks waiting is not that big a deal.

The only thing I don't understand is why, after hearing the boulder rolling down the hill, would he not release the unfinished demo he had promised? He could have said here's the demo I'm not really proud of, but I'll update it during the coming weeks.

It would have quenched the fire that is currently burning his blog comments to ashes. I don't think one bad demo would make people turn away from his games completely after the excellency he has demonstrated so far.

But well...I guess there is a matter of pride involved. That's why I like to wander about this forum instead of other ones. It is much more civilized (despite a few exceptions here and there)...

Such entitlement.

Yeah, just went through the blog posts and nowhere was a demo ever promised (I didn't bother trying to go through the comments, too many). Updates on the status and progress of the demo were made sure, but just because there is one doesn't mean it's getting released to the public. Assumptions and entitlements, ho!

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

A bad demo experience can turn people away from buying the full game. It's a bigger deal than some angry blog comments. There are a lot of lurkers around, and their opinions aren't necessarily aligned with the vocal minority who post.

Kurovadis and Eroico are on DLsite, right? I'd imagine there's a huge swathe of potential customers who can't/don't read Kyrieru's devblog, and would care more about a lackluster demo than any delays in production.
