What does /v/ think of knuckle sandwich?
I think it looks like a cross between earthbound and wario ware. Looks pretty fun.

If you're going to shill, at least try not to be so painfully obvious about it.
>>337936265
Can't you at least mix up your spamming and post Yiik next time?
looks gay
>Tumblr noses
>one Tumblr nose so large it literally takes up 50% of the guy's face
How about no.
>>337936265
Are you this guy?
>>337936265
fuck off with shilling this tumblr tier shit
saged and reported
>>337936265
People underrated how shit this art is, even aside from the Tumblr noses. I drew like this when I was 13. He has no sense of anatomy and clearly can't draw hands.
>>337936265
Looks pretty neat but that walk speed look absolutely unbearable, what the hell
>>337937097
I know the art style is shit, but it's probably stylized on purpose. You don't have to draw super realistic anatomy when you go for a cartoony style like that.
>they don't know the noses are actually an important part of the plot
>after you beat the game you get an option to turn them off
Whoops looks like I leaked and ruined your secret OP.
>bending and stretching sprites
Looks interesting, but after Undertale I don't think I could go through another earthbound-esque game with quirky humor. I feel like it's already played out.
>>337937773
Well, undertale did it and it was good
>>337938089
No, it looked ugly there, too.
>>337938262
Tricked! I actually hate undertale!
>>337938089
>>337938262
>it's okay when nintendo does it
>>337938349
Great.
>>337938397
I don't actually see any bending or stretching, there. Possibly some slight cheating with translation, but that's it.
>>337938573
Don't play dumb.
>>337938682
Damn Bowser is sexy
>>337936265
Same thread from yesterday
>>337936265
DUDE, EARTHBOUND LMAO
>>337938682
Same deal with this sprite, a bit of cheating, but it's not the kind of cheating that was mentioned above. Do you actually know what is meant by "bending and stretching" of a sprite? The actual parts of the sprite are left at the exact same size they were, any "bending" or "stretching" here is drawn as a new frame, rather than pieces being squashed.
>>337938397
>>337938682
That's not bending or stretching, that's the character sprite being split up into separate parts.
You should have posted something from Yoshi's Island instead, since the sprite manipulation in that game is absolutely awful.
this is actual stretching and bending
>>337938397
>>337938682
This is just traditional sprite animation. Do you really think artists redraw the entire character every frame when they only need to make slight changes, shifts or translations?
I don't even have to read this thread to know it'll be filled with crying about "Tumblr noses" like the artistic opinion of a talentless fuck matters.
>>337939294
Andrew Brophy, pls go.
>>337939294
I agree with xem fellow Tumblr user, stop being shitlords and let xim artists express xir diversity.
Shalom.
>>337939470
He has a point desu, calling the artist a talentless hack because of a single stylistic choice just reeks of bitterness
I can get behind the new mini-meta-meme of shilling this game non-stop. It's so... dank.
>>337936265
Jesus Christ what an ugly piece of shit.
How long until indie devs miss the point of another niche but popular RPG like EO
>>337939518
That's not how pronouns grammatically work.

Can someone help me understand the mindset of these people? If you're so convinced, why not just report and hide the thread?

>EVERYBODY LOVES TO JIGGLE
>>337936430
It's not a shill, it's just an epic troll who wants to look like a shill
>>337939935
Never because they're offended by the anime tiddies
>>337939935
Earthbound was fairly-easy for a JRPG of its time.
Dungeon Crawlers will never be very popular because they require a lot from the player in terms of patience and RPG know-how.
Unless it's a rougelite or it has permadeath because people somehow love those games
>>337940053
That game is fine, but it doesn't hold a candle to Undertales!
>tumblr nose
no.
Ok, fuck this shill. Let's do something else.
Assuming most people here like the mother series what do you want out of a "mother-like"?
>>337940408
To stop existing.
>>337936265

>>337940067

>>337940053
>>337936265
>IT'S LIKE EARTHBOUND
When will this shit stop?
>>337938089
I still don't understand why Undertale is just about the only game out there to try and look like a ZX Spectrum title.
The black and white sprites on basic backgrounds look cool
>>337940408
I would like to see people stop trying to imitate it and actually make something original for once.
For example, I would buy the fuck out of a simple action RPG with a fuckton of depth.
>>337940408
I want it to be emotional and silly but otherwise I want it to be as little like Mother as possible and focus on having its own themes, setting, and quirks.
I personally think Undertale did a decent job of this. While it's obviously inspired by Mother/Cave Story/etc., it's still clearly it's own beast, with its own unique setting, conflict, themes, and even battle system.
>>337940486
Well personally I feel the same myself, or at the least for these people to actually undestand what made the mother series good.
>>337936265
Once i was diagnosed with prostate cancer and tuberculosis at the same time. Magically, getting infected with Aids negated the effect of every of these things.
I still live, but no matter what, a homeless guy fucked me in the ass.
This is what i think of Knuckle Sandwich.
>>337940807
I think it's a mix of no-budget developers thinking they're undiscovered comedians.
I mean writing is ALWAYS the selling point for these games, never gameplay.
At least Undertale was able to advertise its whole "don't kill anything" feature
What's with the nose/blush styles? They all perpetually sick?
>>337940408
not make trailers advertising it like its "JUST LIKE EARTHBOUND YOU LIKE EARTHBOUND/MOTHER RIGHT? BUY MY GAME!" and subtlety/originality
>>337941115
Undertale also had the decency to release a free demo 2 years in advance that was literally just the first area of the game as it appears in the final release.
People knew exactly what they were getting with that one.
>>337941208
Supposedly inspired by warioware, I don't like it myself though on wario, guess I'm hypocrite.
>>337941208
Tumblr art style.
Apparently every single person drawn by a Tumblr artist has rosacea.
>>337941208
Originally it was the tumblr artstyle but now the creator is hiding behind Warioware to make it seem like it actually looks acceptable.
>>337940408
to let EB rest where it belongs
it inspired a lot of people but cmon
>>337936265
>another tumblr sjw game
I kill for more shitty Pokemon, Persona, or Final fantasy clones. Normies enjoy those games as well.
What's with those Tumblr shills lately?
Why do you even bother with /v/?
>>337940053
>"Earthbound for Grownups"
>>337940053
This looks like a parody of everything bad about indie devs and hipsters. Are they serious with this shit?
fuck this thread post wikihow images
>>337940237
If the finale result is the same, why would intent matter?
>>337943635
What if they pull a Madoka and say that it's a deconstruction of the hipster and indie dev stereotypes that shows the true flaws of them?
>blatantly spamming threads with your shitty hipster game
>game becomes meme

what are you talking about
>>337943892
That actually seems to be what they're attempting, but the problem is that Madoka was still enjoyable to begin with. YIIK is just grating all around.
HAMON
>>337936265
>tumblr nose
why though
Is it so hard to tell that most people's noses aren't oddly discolored from the rest of their face? The in-game art doesn't look too bad at least and the music is pretty gud. That said, the character sprites even in-game look awful and your character moves too slowly. It looks dreadfully boring.
>>337940408
A good story with good music with art that doesn't look hideous.
So far I've enjoyed:
>Undertale
>Off
and disliked:
>LISA
>Yume Nikki
And I'm not too impressed with Knuckle Sandwich or Y2K coming out. All of these games seem very distinct though; none of them scream Earthbound to me, even if they hold a few similarities. I am looking forward to the fan-made Mother 4, as it actually looks pretty good. Has very nice art.
>>337944476
They make enough money to stay. It's not that hard to understand. Don't let the butthurt blind your reading comprehension.
seems legit
>>337944749
Why is this shown in two panels?
>>337944743
The guy doing most of the work doesn't live in San Fransisco and his two audio guys don't have their location visible.
What are you talking about?
got a masterpiece here
what are you doing with that cucumber
>>337945070
You sure seem invested in this game anon. I'm sorry you spent so much time making it for it to inevitability fail.
