So earlier someone was talking about teams. I really don't have a good one. My character was convicted of being a thief. So, my partner is a mage so he just shoots hadouken balls. I got Bato he's not that strong high in labor skills and then I rescued that team in the forest which I forgot his name.. He's the Orc looking dude high in dodge ability.
I can't fucking for the life of me kick some ass. I want to grind but I just finished Knightmoor? That castle or whatever. Teach me your ways anon.
furfag game
oh all knowing shill. Tell me what is the estimated play time and system requirements?
>>341959285
Bato is actually a fantastic tank due to his +Health passive ability
Level up his Guard skill and he makes the game super fucking easy
>>341959439
God damn.
Idiot me.
Maybe I should start over. I just kept bumping his labour stats to liek 300.
>>341959429
Around 30 40 hours
It's a pixelated indieshit so your toaster can probably run it
>>341959494
its fine, you can get Guard to level 1 in 2 levels or so
>>341959429
40 hours
If you're going to format the post like a /vg/ post, go to /vg/ you shill.
>>341959429
>Tell me what is the estimated play time
For one run is 30 - 40 hours. But, you can make your character a convict from rape, murder, extortion and other shit and the story will be different for each one with starting perks and your partner.
>system requirements?
Literally your grandmas toaster,
Gonna sound like a total moron here, but what exactly do I need for the Raptor Gate door? Is that the end of the demo or what?
>>341959689
its an obscure indie game, it wouldnt last 1 thread on /vg/
>>341959749
>Gonna sound like a total moron here
A lot of people are saying that. Not much of the stuff is explained thoroughly in the game. It just takes getting used to. But, to answer your question remember to press R for your companions to search the room for key or other items. Also anything that you can interact with will sparkle with gold.
Torrent where
I really hope this game does well, it has more effort in it than most shitty AAA and other indie games.
If the dev put in somefurryspecies, this game would've sold like hotcakes to those autists.
Never heard of it OP, will look into it when I get home
this place is 2spooky
>>341960406
Is it always turn based or only in battles?
>All these games people are talking about
>none of them have torrents
>this must what it feels like to get triggered
>>341959858
I could buy this on steam with my russian account but that won't really help since I would have to buy it from the homepage if I wanted to share right? Too bad it's 25$ at any currency at the homepage instead of just 5.8$, don't really feel like spending 25$ when I could get it at 5.8$.
>JUST shill my board up fäm
Hi RPGCodex shills, you people are fucking worse than SomethingAwful now.
>>341960520
That's what it feels like to be a Jew. Are you a NEET or something? It's only $18.
between this and underrail. What better or are they not similar at all?
How do I make my companions eat?
Greaves is here and he's hurt, but I can't make him eat a sandwich?
>>341960762
Wait, what?!
>>341960659
Why do Russkies always get games cheap, but other Eurocucks have to pay more?
>>341960486
It's only turn based in battles
>>341960896
Select him with either tab or a number key (2 for Greave) and then right click the food just like your main character
>>341960896
Click on their portrait to select that character (you now can control that character) now eat the delicious sammich and he shall heal.
>>341960896
Press tab to shift between which party member you're controlling, then eat when that character is selected. Wish they explained these things a little more thoroughly, but what can ya do?

>>341960814
They're both isometric view, that's where the similarities end.

Make sure it's in his inventory, and that you're out of combat, and hold right click.

Raise your hand if you purchased the game yet or playing the demo right now.
Got my custom sprite working in the game after I stopped being a dumbass and noticed the PCCustom folder in the main directory instead of making one in the CustomSprites directory. Still needs work but I'm well on my way to roleplaying the willing healslut for a bunch of rough and tumble criminals.
>>341961549

Come on man. Don't be an asshole.
>>341962486
Turn based combat isn't fun with only one character, and walking around through 10 screens of nothingness at snail's pace every time you have to talk to a NPC because there's no running and the world is designed like shit isn't very fun either.
>>341962486

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh boy, appealing to morals on pirates.
Why even mention torrents? Just don't bring it up, now people will just torrent the damn thing.
I won't, because I don't give a fuck about it, but it's stupid to even point it out.
>>341962754
>neg hole pozzed
Am I getting old? I don't understand any of that.
>>341962754
Oh brother. I'm not a fucking idiot and I don't judge if the developer is gay or not. Fuck off with your childish shit you homophobic moron.
Besides, this fucking game has no homophobic references at all.
>>341962540
Took another shot, I think this one is better.
Need some torrents up in this thread.
looks interesting .. only on steam though
>>341962660
There are speed walking mods out, i think thats the only solution now
>>341958964
>Pixilated full frontal nudity
Why do I get the feeling that means ork dick and not something I'd want to see?
Wait, did the artist for this game work on gay porn games in the past? This art style seems very familiar to me. Would explain why it's all so homo-erotic too
>>341963035
I just played as a nude waifu murderhobo
What's the best build to kill shit anyways?
>>341963057
Yes. But no one gives a fuck about his gay porn. It's a fun game. And it doesn't have any of his homo shit in it either.
>>341962660
The combat is fine, how would it even function with real time?
Also the walking speed is pretty quick and theres fast travel systems
>>341963035
Because it does. The creator of the game is notorious for just making his own sex fantasies in various genres, he has a gay adventure game with the same kind of gays in it too for example, I think this is like his 10th gay game already.
>>341963057
Yes.
heard there's only one romance plot and it's with a man
>>341963193
Bastard Bonds isn't a gay game.
>>341963145
>Also the walking speed is pretty quick
Yeah, that's why literally everyone who recommends the game immediately tells you how to hack it with CheatEngine so that it runs at 8x speed.
>>341963117
Go max Weaving and hire giant dragons and ogres to kill shit for you
but for earlygame the best damage build is probably an offensive mage or warrior
Silent Hill...Could Mary really be here?
>>341963193
Is the gay at least optional?
Can I straight up avoid that shit and go for a straight romance? If not thats fine.
>>341963214
Discouraging, but if I can avoid it, fine.
I'll just wait for a sale and custom shit made by modders
>>341963246
It's ok dude I won't tell your dad.
>>341963340
Fuck off?
>>341963246
not him but its hard to deny that its a bit homo erotic
>>341963397
I'm actually playing it and did my research. There's no homoshit in Bastard Bonds. He's made gay porn games but this one is a whole lot different. Maybe you're getting the gay vibes from the bara artstyle but nothing in here has anything gay.
You can be male or female and there's nudity. Nothing "gay" at all.
>>341963314
Dunno man, you tell me.
http://captaingerbear.tumblr.com/
Ah, it's because it's a western product that you guys have such an issue with it.
>>341962745
You could be its not necessary. Theres alot of variations with character builds and they show you the perk requirements on the character sheet. Theres no skill refund so save before leveling if you cant stand that. Pure guns, crossbow trapper, chem gunner, pure psy, pure melee, psy monk, crafting god to simply steamroll with high spec equips, riot police. Caltrops + metal boots or even a perk is a great combo, or even flashbang and sunglass metal helmets to go full riot police
>>341963568
I will pirate it a million times so that he loses so much money that he has to sell his house and can't have gay parties anymore. That's the free market for you sucker.
>>341963616
I meant caltrops and the perk that negates trap activation or the metal boots.
>Have small, pixelated, muscular men
>"dude this shit's homosex lmao"
>Have shit like Cloud, Vaan, Tidus, Dante, Raiden, etc.
>"t-that's different"
There aren't any forced gay romances that damage your relationship unlike other games like Dragon Age Cisquisition. I've been ACTIVELY trying to start romancing one of my party members but he just keeps repeating his same line over and over again about "you're new here aren't you?" There's nothing overtly gay in this unless you want to make it gay.
Also I made best orc.
Torrent where?
where is the torrent dude, you guys are letting me down
>>341963656
You can make a batch file that copies the game and then deletes it and then copies it again and deletes it so every time a copy is made he loses the full price of the game and just run it in the background so his money is leeched with no further input from you. Let's see if he can work faster than you can copy lol!

The only game I've really "shilled" is Underrail. I guess STALKER too, but that was a year or so ago.
>>341964409
That's cool and all, but smart devs know that piratefags spread the good word about games worth a damn. OP coming without a torrent is a foolish move.

This.
I honestly did an impulse buy off of this game. It's weird that a lot of people think shilling is real. I'll make posts about some obscure indie game and I get the same response over and over again. The dev is not here, deal with it.

Yeah, same. Especially if it's something which nobody's heard of, or at least something that isn't discussed with any regularity around here.I-I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this
>>341964546
As far as the starting perk goes, wouldn't Impassioned or Heartless/Opportunist be better than Innocent mechanically?
I haven't played the game, just wondering.

>>341965002
Alright lets go ahead and shill Bastard Bonds as the manliest game ever. Deal?
>>341964850
Well at some point someone that wants to torrent the game is going to have to pony up the money or learn some patience and wait for a small mostly under-the-radar indie game to get noticed by your favorite warez group. Until then everybody can keep calling each other shills I guess or maybe play and/or discuss the demo (https://www.sendspace.com/file/zzh7k5) that was linked in the last thread.
>>341964774
If I have to buy it, I won't play it
If I torrent it and enjoy it, theres a chance I will
These games are too long for demos to really do justice
>>341965305
>This sense of entitlement
>Not just refunding it
>>341965002
You pretty much had to shill it to get any kind of discussion going
>>341964839
All this irony really gets me thinking.
Is everything I see on /v/ really ironic? Does someone ironically make a shill thread, and do poeple ironically "fall" for the shilling, and then ironically argue about it? Or maybe I'm just retarded and everything is literal and not ironic. But still, it fucks me up sometimes. Fucking hipsters.

Any attempt to be ironic on 4chan puts you deep enough down the rabbit hole that you're stuck in the realm of actual stupidity with no way out.
We've long ago passed the point where actual irony was possible in this living hell

Any time someone claims to be doing something "ironically", that just means they're trying to bullshit themselves into believing that they aren't doing it for real.

are female orcs in the game at all? I played through the demo and don't recall seeing any.

>>341964207
Male orcs are superior anon, why pick anything else?
>>341965974
There's a female orc that you can recruit in the full game, but she's mutually exclusive with another male orc recruit
>>341965974
There's one companion that is a female orc.
>>341965974
Theres 6 male options
6 female options and 12 male orc options

>>341965819
Did you read my post?
How could I tell if an rpg has any substance after 2 hours? Meaningful choices, character progression, worldbuilding consistincy? You know, rpg stuff?
You could get through the starting area and find the game to be hollow and unfinished, but it took you 2 hours to do so and oh well guess I payed $20 to support cheap unfinished garbage

Watch Youtube videos, read articles.. Do your fucking research. Playing the game is just testing the gameplay. How the fuck do you test a 40 hour game you fucking dumbass. You take chances and if you feel comfortable, do it. But, you're not a doer so you're just all fucking talk.
>>341966324
I did for sword of the stars: the pit and shovel knight
I didnt enjoy those games
Glad I didn't buy them
Usually I do buy games off gog though because their refunding is much more lenient, but this is a steam only game so I guess I won't get a chance to support the dev regardless of how good his game may be
>>341966240
Yes, and?
>>341966475
>I did for sword of the stars: the pit and shovel knight

I don't know what else to tell you. It's your fault for not liking it. Other people enjoyed it more than you so that's completely on you, not the developers fault.

The sprites aren't even animated in combat? Jesus fucking christ how disgusting.
>>341966583
meh, wouldn't be worth batting an eyelash over if the game wasn't made by an openly gay guy.
>>341966575
>>341966683
Thats why I pirated them
If they were good, I could have supported the dev, if they werent then I would have supported a dev who made a bad game or simply refunded it
Everything I read was somewhat positive, and I watched a few videos, but I knew I probably wouldn't like them so I spent a few hours trying them out
Without a refund policy I wouldn't have bought the games period. Too risky. Even steams refund policy is too limiting. If this game doesn't have a torrent or goes on gog, I will never buy it.
If it does there is a chance that I will
I do and have bought many games where I felt confident in my purchase
Torrent where?

>>341966984
Goddamn kids, back in my day we didn't even have sprites.
>>341967126
It's an indie game made by a single dude with next to no publicity that got released on steam three and a half days ago, you gotta be patient,.
>>341967031Okay, I respect your choices and reasoning even though I don't personally care for piracy anymore
>high-end pixel art
>no animations
please just fuck off. $18 for this is ridiculous
>>341967443
Sounds like you lost the argument buddy
Nice deflection though
>>341967487
Pirating can be a pain. Torrenting sucks sometimes, especially with few seeders, I usually just buy it if I know I'll like it. Plus steam and gog keep my games organized and updated which is nice
>>341967773

>Not an @
Fuck off with your fancy new graphics, pacmans, and hoolyhoops
>>341967487
Unless you're talking about Zork or some shit, fuck off outta here. Today's engines do that shit for you and that game CLEARLY had an artist. The base sprites look fine. Only reason to not animate them is sheer laziness. If the dev doesn't care about their own game, why should I?
>>341968205
> Today's engines do that shit for you and that game
There's an engine that hand animates 2d sprites? Holy shit somebody better tell SNK .
Seriously though, if you want to be a little bitch and value graphics over gameplay without even playing the demo then you have fun with that, there's no point in me trying to change your mind.
>>341968750
Preach it buddy.
>>341958964
So is buying it through his site a direct download or what?
I've been trying to stay off Steam.
>>341968750
"valueing graphics over gameplay" is like saying you can't enjoy FFVI because it was made for the SNES, but you know what FFVI had?
>Pic related. A walking animation
Games have been animated since the late 80s, get your shit together man. It takes literally 7 seconds to set up an animation in something like Unity, provided you have the sprite sheet. The only reason you wouldn't have a sprite sheet is if you have a lazy artist.
Which don't get me wrong, I've worked with a bunch of artists and they're lazy as fuck. Still no excuse to sell people an unfinished product (which is a term that is used too liberally here, but not having sprites animate IS unfinished. It's like selling a car without seats or a steering wheel).

>not having sprites animate IS unfinished. It's like selling a car without seats or a steering wheel).
>>341969169
I'd rather have tons of different sprites than lots of animations for a few sprites, which is what the dev did. You wouldn't have the same amount of customization ability if you also had to layer it with animations. Or you would, it would just take a couple more years to do.
I guess if you're a bitch and can't deal with a lack of animations that's your loss.
>>341969412
this. you wouldnt be able to recruit every fucking monster in the game if those monsters all had to have unique attack and walking animations
>>341969319
Find me a game made in the last 25 years that has representations of humans where there are literally 0 animations.
>>341969412
>If you c-c-criticize my game, you're a b-b-bitch!!
Sorry anon, I'm being harsh because it's a harsh market. The indie scene is flooded these days and you're not going to succeed unless you can compete.
You know what games flourish in the indie market these days? Stardue Valley. Undertale. Bastion. Paper's Please. Enter the Gundgeon.
There are indie games setting an unreal high bar right now and your half assed title isn't going to be able to hold up.
Point is that "you wouldn't be able to have tons of sprites if you had to animate them" is bullshit. Yes, you would be able to have all those different sprites.
It just means that you're working 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, not 8 hours 5 days a week. Sorry, that's the life of an indie dev. Get used to it. If you're not going to put the time in to make a competitive product, someone else will (and they do, regularly).
Game is kinda fun, initially I thought combat would heavily favor the defender, but it actually favors the guy who is one movespace away who dashes in for reckless first strikes. Specializations are neat as well although not exactly in depth.
The art is a bit... blatantly homosex, which is a tad annoying since I think bara looks dumb but whatever the sprite art is cool and you can customize your guy or gal pretty well too.
It's like 18 bucks for a game that apparently lasts 50 hours so if you like it I think that's probably a fair price.
I saw this on steam yesterday and I'm too lazy to read through all the shill spam.
Is this good?
Would I enjoy it if I like FFT and Disgaea?
>>341969772
All I'm getting from your post is that you care more about the market than the game itself.
>It just means that you're working 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, not 8 hours 5 days a week. Sorry, that's the life of an indie dev. Get used to it. If you're not going to put the time in to make a competitive product, someone else will (and they do, regularly).
You clearly have no idea how long animation takes to do, especially for a one-man team. And I would rather that time be spend on other areas of the game than animation.

This won't net you an amazing indie game with loads of amazing fully animated characters, it'll just net you a burnout. You obviously don't have any experience actually developing software.

How out of the loop are you? It's not such an uncommon thing for indie devs to also supply free releases of their games via torrent.
Looked up this on steam.
Holy shit why does it look so furfaggy homoerotic?
It might be good concept but the art will turn me gay if I play this.
>>341971376
>Holy shit why does it look so furfaggy homoerotic?
Because the creator is a homosex, read the thread, faggot

Stardew Valley and Undertale are amalgams of other highly successful indie games and only stand on the merit of Youtubers and nostalgia.
Enter the Gungeon is polished and well-made but there are many other games in the same vein, ffs Hammerwatch has a fleshed-out campaign editor.
I'll give you Bastion and Papers Please, but PP is a unique, one-time entry and cannot be improved upon or a sequel made-of. Bastion proved that indie games could directly compete with AAA games.
Popular=/=Competent
Dwarf Fortress is by no means popular, but it is a very competent video game with unparalleled depth and a cult following. And it is FREE. Dwarf Fortress is proof that gameplay trumps graphics. Fuck off and play some decent indie games.
Anyways, to the people actually playing, is this game finished and fully released or should I expect this to stay in development hell akin to Project Zomboid, where the game as-is is still pretty good but you'll be left wanting after a while? Demo is pretty fun playing as a murderer who dindu nuffin but took the fall anyways.
>>341972086
>gameplay trumps graphics
And Planescape shows that story and dialogue can compete just fine with both.
>>341972086
The game is finished, no early access bs.
>>341972267
Yeah, but I like to think Planescape and similar gems are exceptions to the rule because your writing needs to be damn good to carry your game. Personally, I've never played it but it is on my backlog for a rainy day from all the praise it gets on /v/.

Neo Scavanger?
Is this one of those ""roguelike-like" games with masochistic difficulty where you pretty much resign your characters to die like flies, or is the difficulty a bit more reasonable than that?
>>341961595
I recognise that bulge

It's made by a gay man and there is no fur, only Orcs and demons.
>but the art will turn me gay if I play this
Don't worry, you were already a faggot before you even entered the thread.
>>341973567
Stone Soup
Dwarf Fortress
>>341967135
There's like a million other games the creator made that did exactly that. Pic related. You can husbando this demon right here.

H-games are not vidya, silly anons. If they were then I would have e-begged CG sets for this "game" a long time ago.

Then this. I love you.
>>341977513
its more that no one had uploaded a torrent yet but people kept asking
I have been enjoying the game thus far
Should have put more effort into my guy though, perhaps I should start over before I get too far and make a proper character
>>341977840
Then you say "No torrent yet"
Because there is obviously going to be a download pretty fucking quickly.
