Haha, time for Freedom Planet 2.
>>321428904
>realistically proportioned human furries
>Chris Sabat is a VA in this game
Cool. First one wasfun
>>321428904
Lilac is best, and Carol sucks
>>321428904
Shit, I haven't beat the first one yet
So they dropped the whole DLC thing and decided to create a new game?
>wasting budget on FMV and voice actors
>announcement trailer
>entirely devoid of game footage
Fuck that
>>321428904
Wasn't there supposed to be DLC for the first game? I really liked Freedom Planet, and I'm happy that it'll get a sequel, but they're making it without the first game even being finished.
>announcing shit before properly finishing shit
>human proportions furries
>toning It for serious fucking business straight from the start
Now ain't this shit looking like a course for dissapointment
MY DICK IS SO DIAMONDS NOW.
Carol a best
Rest aGood
>furry shit
great fucking game though really felt like it could have been an actual megadrive game
I'm gonna marry Lilac!
>>321428904
>First game had the story of a shitty Sonic fanfiction
>Second game will have the story of a shitty Sonic fanfiction, except this time with a budgetIt's a shame that the gameplay and level design is good enough to play this thematic trash.
Lilac is even cuter now!
Man this excites me more than any Recent game announcement.
Hopefully it's better than the original, physics were pretty bad.
I hope they do something with the story and voice acting.
Like holy shit atleast include an option to turn voice acting off.
>Taxman is working on this
>Falk is working on this
>>321429989
>a dragon
>looks like a goat
Something doesn't add up
>>321429989
Everything about this design, the colour contrast, the arms and legs, looks great. Except the face. It looks really bad.
I cant decide who is the cutest.
>looks worse
>throwing in more story and voice acting
>>321431008
I like the re-designs. And I guess it's a re-design for Carol too? Her concept art doesn't look like it changed, but her sprite now looks more like she does here in the art. You can see the sprites on their official site by the way. They look pretty good.

My fucking DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
>>321428904
YAY!! more furry porn ^.^!!!!! :D
>>321430875
I hope this implies we get to play as more characters.
Panda girl spear action please
>>321430246
>Physics were bad
They were perfectly fine, they can't make it too strict when every character not named Lilac has no instantaneous speed boost.
>>321429989
I kinda like they decided to do a redesign, gets them farther away from being Devisntart Sonic OCs
>>321430246
The engine is being developed by the guy who made the Sonic CD remake
It's in good hands.
>>321431687
I bet you feel so original and witty.
So that's what those concepts were for. Fucking rad.
>>321432051
Well, that's good news since the Sonic CD remake was flat out fantastic. Seems like it could have potential.
I'll be following this, especially since SEGA still hasn't announced anything non-Boom and non-Mobile with Sonic.
>>321431243
B-bayonetta legs...
>they got Taxman for the physics engine
>they got motherfucking Chris Sabat for VA work
>>321429525
You can play the beta of the character DLC now at least. Torque's now in time attack. You can listen to the new stage music on the composer's soundcloud too and its fucking rad.

That doesn't mean shit for the level design and that guy already showed he's a nutcase with the first one.
>>321434053
Any favorite/least favorite level examples?
HOLY FUCK I HOPE THIS TIME I GET TO PLAY AS QT PANDA GRIL
>>321434278
All but the first two I find to be subpar and the last stage to be the only really good stage. I found Fortune Night to be especially shit with how hard you could glitch out in that level and how little foresight the level designer had when making it.
1/2
>The Balance of Speed and Exploration
>Like the first game, the stages will be open and varied enough to approach in two distinct ways: speedrun for the fastest time or explore to collect the most crystals. We found that the players who did each of these things were split evenly down the middle, so we'll continue to keep catering to both playing styles!
>Adventure and Classic Mode
>We found that the number of players that preferred cutscenes was also split pretty evenly. We understand that some players simply want to play a game without plot. With that in mind, Classic Mode is carrying over to the sequel. Meanwhile, those who enjoyed the first game's story will be in for a treat!
>Difficulty Customization
>Instead of standard difficulty levels, Freedom Planet 2 introduces a flexible difficulty system that lets you change the rules of the game temporarily to make certain stages easier or harder. Using special Gold Gems found in stages or crafted by fusing your regular crystals, you can modify specific parameters:
>Add more lives, alter attack damage, and more. Gone are the days where you switched to Easy mode reluctantly to get past a troublesome boss - This time, a Gold Gem can tip the odds in your favor!
>Guarding
>No longer will you have to rely on your special move to avoid damage! By tapping the Guard button, your character will summon a split-second shield that can block or parry oncoming attacks.
>While highly powerful or long-lasting attacks can't be Guarded against completely, a properly timed Guard will avoid most of the damage and soften the blow. This will allow players to get creative with our boss fights.
>>321433678
>Not wanting the cheesy 90s Genisis plat former storyline to go along with your quality 90s Genisis plat forming
It's like you don't even want the full experience.
>Freedom Planet 2 means more god tier music

>>321431243
Fucking cute shit goddamn.
Freedom Planet and Neptunia are both cases where I tried hard to like the game for the sake of CUTENESS, but couldn't actually endure the proper content.
>>321434757
2/2
>Revivals
>Imagine fighting a difficult boss, and losing right before you land the final blow. ARRRGH! Normally, you would have to start the fight all over again. In Freedom Planet 2, you'll have another option: Revivals.
>When you're knocked out cold, you can spend one of your extra lives on the spot to get back up and keep fighting. You'll recover a small number of life petals, so if you're not careful, you may lose yet another life.
>On the bright side, you'll gain a few seconds of invincibility on revival, which just might be all you need to make a solid comeback.
>As you can imagine, Revivals will have a more noticeable impact outside boss fights, where you can search for life petals to restore yourself to full strength. This helps prevent players from losing a large amount of time by having to restart at their last checkpoint.
>Caution: Your character can't revive if their body is disintegrated!
mite b cool
>>321433087
Ehhhh, Unity is slightly more above. Why? Because it's versatile, free, and ports easily to other consoles.
Fusion 2.5? It's a mess if you want it to be on other consoles.
>>321434773
>this is the pathetic excuse furfag preteens use to delude themselves
There's nothing cheesy about it. It's pure cringe and is like Totally Spies! if that show was totally shit.
>>321430550
>Taxman
>Falk
Oh baby.
Also I thoughtMilla died in the first game?
>>321434773
>Wanting to watch 20 minute long cringeworthy cutscenes with horrible voice acting
Pass. Also nothing about it feels like an old genisis game. Very few platformers had cutscenes, let alone voiced ones that go on for 20 minutes.
Why do you think the non-story mode is called classic? Because we didn't get this level of shit in genesis.
>>321435356
It felt more like a Playstation Game in that regard.

It's better this way honestly

They probably can't since they haven't finished any of the shit they're supposed to with the first one. What a group of shitheads.

>>321437024
Maybe they'll get a recording booth instead of each VA using their headset to record like last time.
>>321437249
Pretty sure. It's still an obligation they need to fulfill. Not doing so is a major scumbag move.
>>321435886
>bunny
It's a dog. Yeah, I know, it's fucking retarded. It's such a common mistake among people that they should've just made her a rabbit in the first place.

Sounds a lot like Bastion/Transistor
Where's the stash, I want to know what Steve's smoking announcing something like this so soon.
>>321437656
Beta isn't going to be out until 2017 m8
It does seem a little early
Can't say i care considering the DLC didn't come out
Can't wait for it to be more of the same garbage the first game was and for these hacks to go out of business. Only person worth a shit on the team was the music guy and it seems like that might end up being the case again with the only other redeemable person being Taxman making an engine in Unity of all fucking things. Or by some stroke of luck they actually make a good game this time. Either one is fine.

>>321438356
I like it, as much as I liked the original designs the complaints of them looking like Sonic OCs was valid considering how similar the proportions/artstyle was
>>321435602
Yeah pretty much, or a sega 3d, or saturn. But no way was it like genesis. They should have gone with silent cutscenes that only lasted 30 seconds top at the start and end of levels.
Then again telling a basic story with just actions is both way to hard to do for furfags, plus it wouldn't let them shoehorn in all their horrible voices and unique epic storylines.
Another example of this: Dust. Great game, but holy fuck does it suffer from the furry virus hard.
>>321428904
The re-designed characters look ugly as fuck man. Still wanna try the game though, as much as the mix between combat and platforming sucked sometimes, the first one was really awesome.
>>321435605
>falk
while his shit is not very sonic like it is amazing to listen too but freedom planet is not sonic so this is going to be great
>>321438657
Well, considering DIMPS made all but one of the 2D Sonics since Sonic went 3D. Yeah, it does.Classic Sonic in Gens is still better than FP.

Why does it have a Japanese subtitle?

I can't wait 2 years for this fug
>Those redesigns
>That upgraded art style
>>321450824
Because the first game had a Japanese subtitle, and that was because a handful of weeb-focused games did it too and it fit with the animesque Gashi-Gashi promotional art.

>>321454205
I'm really hoping Brevon pulls a Ganon/Sigma and hijacks the final boss spot in some way. They left his fate ambiguous and he's too good a villain to completely abandon.

>>321454205
Forced drama with the torture scene aside Brevon was a good villain overall.
>>321454121
They shot themselves in the foot once FP1 came out. There's a considerable "literally who" audience who actually wants to watch the adventures of Autistic Not-At-All-Sonic-from-SatAM and Her Furry Friends. They can't trim the fat without angering people, and they can't focus on the retarded story and abandon their video game-playing populace: Classic Mode's the best concession they have.
>>321454205

They definitely left the door open for his return considering that Serpentine is still on Avalice and is trying to make contact with him.

I want to play this game, but knowing its made by furries, something just feels so wrong when i actually start playing it
Its an abstract kind of feel
>>321454389
Per the unused VA he travels to the closest outpost remarking that avalice is fucked because every planet he's fucked over is after the shit in his dreadnaught.

You get crap health back on a revive. crappy players are now going to burn all their lives instead of just one on that really tough boss. that said, it probably will casualize things outside of that.

Is it bad that I mostly want the game because of this?
>>321435727
Gameovers will now force stage resets and people died an average of like 50-75 times on the final few stages in the first.
>>321457686
I think that with a block button, a lot more people who actually want to "git gud" will while people who were losing because they don't have the gut won't feel a difference.
So the lives thing might be a positive change.

They couldn't kill milla. Seeing carol's sister die would beRefreshing. Why are people afraid of seriously messing up their characters? Sorta like all the shit Aviary attorney does that Phoenix wright would never.

There'll be enough porn to fuel the furry fandom for at least a week.

After playing through the first game?
Yes That's exactly what I want.
>>321463852
I don't know about you, but the only thing I enjoyed about FP was the gameplay. Keep the fanfiction to Wattpad and out of my video games.
>>321464034
I felt the same way, but once the Final Dreadnought stages came along I could not help myself but to let the autism flow through me.Lilac is cute. CUTE!
>>321463786
>the emulation of a human appearance should hinder its effectiveness
>>321462825
>>321464034
That has nothing to do with memes though.
But to answer your question: I think if they can learn from what did and didn't work in the story of the first games it can actually be really good. Admittedly a good chunk of the story in the first game did have cringy dialog, but it had it's moments, it just needs to fin a better equilibrium in it's tone and avoid having said cringy dialog.
I didn't mind the darker parts of it because those were actually executed pretty well.
>>321464034
You're out of luck. The fanfiction-tier story's staying.
Actually, no, I take that back, the fanfiction-tier parts of the story are probably going to be optional, even in adventure mode.
And if that's not good enough, play classic mode. Classic mode's going to be in FP2, as well.
>>321464391
This desu
>>321464034
I liked both.
Yeah it was kind of cringe worthy but after a while I found it charming enough to want more after i was finished.
>>321464347
>the emulation of a human appearance WILL hinder its effectiveness
ftfy. A good robot shouldn't be stuck to the designs of weak fleshies.
>there's still like less then 5 pages worth of porn of this game on e621 and paheal combined
I generally don't like furshit but one of the few times I do there's fucking nothing. Get on it you faggots.
>>321464237
Lilac is perfect!
>>321464625
Who says they're stuck with such designs?
>>321428904
They aren't Kickstarting this one, right? Please tell me they aren't going to do that, and that they are better devs than Tim "Mr. Shitface" Schafer and actually put the profits from FP1 into the making of this one.
When Studios keep crowd funding their shit, it makes me wonder what the fuck the point of it all is if they don't ever generate enough of a profit to float future games.
>>321464887
I'm going to impregnate Lilac with my superior human seed!
>>321464617
At its best, it was earnest. You could tell the writer(s) were trying their damnedest to cram cute characters, international drama, implied backstory, interpersonal relationships, and fucked-up torture scenes into one concise package, but either due to lack of time or lack of talent fell just short of most of its intended goals.
I'd give it an A- for effort, but a D at best on execution.

>>321465842
>>321465879
>>321466021
I'm talking way back in the beta stages of the game, when this was her design.
Obviously, they've changed alot and made it a ffar more unique experience, but it's been a long journey.
>Tyson Tan did the character designs/art
That's pretty neat.
>The cat looks like a goat now
>The rabbit looks far better
>The green cat looks better, except for the random red eyeliner
Upgrades everywhere, minus the red eyeliner anyway. That just looks tacky.
I ignored FP because it looked like some fan wank shit for Sonic OCs. The gameplay I saw wasn't all that spectacular, since it was essentially Sonic with a few added mechanics. I might give FP2 a chance though, based on character design alone.
>>321466135
Back when the game was at its earliest stages, it /still/ wasn't a romhack. It used the Sonic Worlds engine, a framework built from the ground up for use in Multimedia Fusion 2.
>>321466257
Excuse the possibly wrong words used.
You get what I mean. Before the changes, it wasn't anything special.
>>321466465
It was actually, because even in its earliest stages it was a promising change of gameplay style. That combined with the much higher than usual production values of fangames, is what got it traction.
>>321466465
No, it wasn't, but it also really wasn't a Sonic game back then, either. Shit was really slow, kind of a pain in the ass to move around in. Now, it's still not a Sonic game, but it's also not shit.
>>321466257
I thought it was a modified version of Sonic CD's engine?
I want Milla to give me a pawjob!
>>321466649
Nah.
>>321466675
Please. Milla is pure.
>>321466237
There's still one flaw in the design: the "rabbit" is supposed to be a basset hound, and the redesign kept her Cream/Vanilla design mostly intact.
I like the red eyeliner on Carol, but I'm the type who likes either really made-up eyes or completely bare eyes. It's decent contrast, that admittedly was already done well enough by her red scarf.

You wouldn't dare. Milla and Neera Li are pure.
It's not complete anyways, all that's left isforeplay.
>>321472926
Here comes Goshaag again...
>>321473356
One of them's pure because she's a ditzy forest loli, and the other's pure because she's a duty-obsessed bitch. Purity via a repulsive personality is purity nonetheless.
>>321473660
Just because someone is ditzy does not imply they do not sleep around. Actually, they go hand in hand. Stop being hysterical in your defense.
>>321474045
She's 10 years old.
>>321474045
But she's so out of touch with conventional society that she befriended a stump. Her ditziness goes so far that if you waved your cock in her face she'd probably get all wide-eyed and ask what it does, only to get flustered and hide once you go all Babysitting Cream on her underage borderline-dumb ass.
How is the Wii U version of FP? Heard it had some issues but I don't know if they patched it yet.
>>321474551
>once you go all Babysitting Cream
ha
Okay thats funny.
>>321474262
Dogs dont age like humans do.
Also, I thought Milla was a bunny not a dog.
>>321475220
And neither do Avalicians, so let me rephrase. She's equivalent to 10 human years old.
>>321474749
I haven't noticed any issues at all. The only difference I'm even aware of from the PC version is the cooties scene being taken out.
>>321475661
>The only difference I'm even aware of from the PC version is the cooties scene being taken out
Weird they would take out a scene. Was there something in that scene that even the developers hated?
>>321475847
Those cut story scenes from the Wii version will also be cut from the PC version. Because Strife's actually trying to consolidate the story a bit, I guess, removing the unnecessary stuff, or stuff referencing things that don't actually or never actually became relevant in the game.
Do you think one of these girls would fuck a human?
>>321476113
Humans don't exist. No.
Will it finally have GOR?
>>321476113
As if anyone wants your strange monkey penis, anon.
>>321475847
you really don't understand why they would take out the cooties scene
>>321476113
Lilac's the species equivalent of colorblind, Carol's a free spirit, and Milla's a cute. Lilac would go for you if you had a pure heart or fought for what was important, Carol if you either fucked well or had some money, and Milla would probably comment on how weirdly cute you are before scurrying off into the bushes.
>>321476484
I was more curious why they removed it than anything. I don't really know anything about the game outside of it being a fun Genesis like game. So them removing a scene just got me curious.
>>321476812
It was incredibly cringe inducing even for someone into light hearted stuff. That scene was the target of a lot of ridicule when the game came out. I even recommended this game to people but had to warn them about some scenes being way too fucking corny because of that one in particular. Touching Lilac's hair was too sugar inducing too, but the fucking cooties scene was like getting a diabetes heart attack and not in a fun way.
>>321428904
Characters look less Sonic-y. That's a plus. They really need to develop their own identity away from "that Sonic fangame" if they're going to keep this up.
>>321476812
There was a lot of backlash against the more anemic parts of the story that were either bad world-building or straight-up plot holes that slipped through the cracks during editing.
This is the scene in particular. It's part of a long exposition dump, and is essentially padding. Nothing of importance happens in the entirety of it, up until they go down to the alien's tent:
https://youtu.be/7sdOizCh0io?t=8m54s
>>321477184
Ok weird. So besides that the game is basically the same?
>>321477364
>1 hour
God damn. What the hell is up with this game?
>>321477415
Pretty much.
>>321477648
There's also a classic mode so you don't have to deal with any of it.I liked it.
It's mostly pretty quick.

>>321476278
>>321476352
>>321476545
Being an exotic species would be major plus for them
>>321477648
If I was to take a guess, there was a lot of writing and lore that was pre-established before Freedom Planet was even conceptualized, so whoever was in charge of the writing wanted to cram as much plot as possible into the game on the assumption that there wouldn't be a sequel or supplementary material to flesh out Avalice as a living, breathing world.
Carol's sister, introduced in FP2? Part of a throwaway line in the first game, dropped because it wasn't addressed in the game beyond that one line. The fact that dragons are actually aliens that interbred with the local populace and made the Kingdom Stone as a physical store of energy to uplift the primitive locals? Only brought up in Lilac's story. They tried to fit too much into a small package, and they couldn't pull off all the ridiculous plot twists that were written out in an OC character sheet and fit in some "girl's night out" filler without it feeling like a break in the pacing.
Thank God for Classic Mode.
>>321431008
Well, this helps distinguish them from Sonic a bit more and also fits in better with the game world. It was obviously very Chinese-esque, but Lilac's jumpsuit and Carol's clothes looked absolutely nothing like anyone else's.
>>321477948
I mean I might just play the story mode because why the fuck not. I was just shocked at how much there was for just that character.
>>321478419
Guess that makes sense. Wonder now that this is a sequel they won't feel force to cram all that in.
>>321478419
>2008
>it took them 6 years to turn their autistic OCs into a proper video game

You are anon, you just may not be talented.
>>321479126
Fuck you.Also there is no such thing as talent, only experience. Get fucked.
>>321429064
Fuck you, Carrel is the fastest.
>>321479439
They're both equally fast when they're in their element. The problem is Lilac's always in her element, and Carol isn't. The game's built around her, either on purpose or by complete accident.
For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgysSMqiIQQ
>>321478943
Actually these fan characters weren't planned to be put into a actual game, the developer just saw them on the Artist DA page and imagine him playing a game staring these characters work on some concepts and ask the artist for permission then it just blew up.
So just make pretty enough characters and some pleb will make a game good game for you
>>321479307
Talent is where you can learn a certain skill at a much faster rate than other people.
>>321478943
They didn't start making the video games "seriously" right away
And even Freedom Planet came out with a LOT of flaws, and rough in a LOT of edges. Which they could do more properly this time.
Even simple stuff. Lives are useless and shield situational use is heavily stunted by their availability. The game needed both mechanics to have a point and a way to use them on demand, both tings they're trying to work on. They also seem willing to make the compromise of giving you le-Dark-Souls parrying maneuvers and balance around it so that they don't have to make bosses easier than the previous game's, enforcing new challenges unto you.
Also for example, imagine of the game had a story mode with Bleeps for speech instead of giving us the horrible choice of Voice vs No Story. And how come you have to reset te game to switch those modes? Yeah several people don't want to endure the voice, but probably they don't know they don't till they heard it, or worse, they still don't want to miss out on the story in case it gets good but the bad parts are too grating. A lot more people would have gleefully accepted the game's story for what it was if they could go with he middle option of Bleep speech.
In fact, does anyone here have a way to contact the devs? I know it's a disrespect for the voice actors, but they absolutely SHOULD give us hat option.
>>321479307
>Also there is no such thing as talent
pls
>>321479708
Honestly, I think you undermine your own point in that videos except for the boss fights.
>>321480169
I really like the idea of bleeps/blips/whatever noise instead of the voice acting, but I also liked the removal of most story elements as a sort of Sonic throwback. If I don't want to listen to the story on a second playthrough, skipping the cutscenes for me beats me having to pause and individually skip every single cutscene. There's nothing that kills replayability for me worse than games than insist on having unskippable cutscenes even after repeated playthroughs.
Blip speech was an option in Klonoa and Star Fox 64, and it served those games well. I think the Galaxy Trail website has contact info in case you're really feeling the idea of pitching the idea to them.

>>321480747
Vocalizations are part of what the characters do during gameplay, gibberish speech isn't particularly viable.
No dialogue, like what you see at the end of a character's classic mode would be preferred.
Looking at the circumstances and the new characters, this looks like it will mainly be Lilac's plot while the other two have sub-plots towards other characters. After all, dragons appearing and a Water Dragon being the main antagonist when Lilac is already a Water Dragon is pretty damn obvious.
>>321481030
That's some next level shit
>>321481152
We were always here, lurking in the shadows. Waiting. Cultivating. Masturbating.
>>321481202
Not anymore, I don't think. Maybe Taxman? I wouldn't know. A lot of the team used to pop by and throw us a bone in /fpg/, but those days are over. Many of the people from /fpg/ moved on to other things.
>>321429989
Huh. She actually is.
liked the first game a ton, everything but the character designs and story was great
>>321481324
Why not have an option to remove vocalizations during gameplay? There's a reason CYCLONE became a minor meme, and it's not like the vocalizations were wholly pertinent to gameplay. The few bosses who use only vocal cues for some attacks (Brevon, Serpentine) can get their own little noises in place of verbal cues, and everything would be peachy.
>>321481324
>No dialogue would be preferred.
It wouldn't work. The game gets far more complex than what you can do in the likes of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. There's actual dialog happening that can't just be conveyed speechless.
Maybe you can convey it with speech bubbles that have pictures on them (Like say, Milla mentions carol, it shows carol's face on her speech bubble, which gives an idea of what the dialog could be) But the effort that would take is amounts to a retelling of the story, to solve a problem that doesn't warrant that much effort to begin with.

It just seems weird to see her drop her regular clothing. And her face also changed so much, it needs more color.

I kind of liked it when the "dragon" girl looked like a cat. The goat appearance is just odd.
ayyyyyyyy wahts good senpai
>>321482558
It's been a couple years since the first game, so maybe her fashion sense changed. It's been about three years since I thought black leather trenchcoats and milsurp looked badass, so I wouldn't hold it against Lilac for throwing a dress over half her old outfit and getting a top that matches her dress.
The face and skin tone is a little spooky, yeah. The game makes it work alright, but the concept art makes her look like she's a revenant.
>>321482558
>>321482804
Know what Lilac needs to kill off this dragon-goat meme?A super sonic-like transformation in to an actual dragon formI'm talking wings and scales and shit.
>>321482558
Really all she's doing is wearing some traditional eastern garb over her normal outfit which fits the setting whilst giving her a more unique look
>>321483092
Or the person who designed her could just not be garbage and make her look like a actual dragon from the get go. That's always an option.
>>321483092
would you fuck a goat? i'd fuck a goat.
>>321483092
She could turn into Nyarlathotep for all I care, her real form looks like a cat/goat.
>>321483092
I am prepared for the autism something like this would unleash.
>>321483357
I'm not. The amount the first game gave me almost killed me. I don't think I can handle a higher dosage.
>>321483357
People would just do the same they did with sonic.
They'd start imagining the super versions of Milla and Carol. Which would become canon in the third game.
>>321483567
And then in the fourth game they'll introduce a time traveling gimmick.I know Sonic CD wasn't actually the fourth game in the Sonic series.
>>321483357
>>321483457
>>321483567
It could be worse.

Nude Esper Terra actually worked, in a sort of "symbolic purity of a race of oppressed monsters" sort of way. Putting it in Freedom Planet, a world where everybody wears clothing and symbolic purity comes in the form of light shows and green cubes, would be downright daft.
>>321484050
Nah, just growing wings and glowing purple would be fine.
>>321483912
Ship it.
>>321428994
They borrowed a lot of people from funimation to work on this
they must have struck a deal with them or something
>>321483757
Truth be told, there'd be nothing wrong with it. Animals shouldn't have clothes anyway, they didn't evolve with the need to cover themselves.

Wouldn't surprise me if they turned dragon dildo into a super angel in this game.
>>321484050
Have you ever seen a monster made of "pure elemental power" in freedom planet? Yeah, neither have I. The devs can make a "Super" form look like anything they want.
And there's nothing wrong with the esper terra idea, although the world feels severely less "magically attuned" in Avalice than it did in any final fantasy.
As long as it's not something grotesque, people would be into it.

This big bad is kinda toned down compared to Brevon.
And they didn't even need a kikestarter this time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L09qnRfZY-k
>>321484519
Why can't they be serious?
>>321484597
It'd be the only time FP would get written well, that's for sure.
>>321484519
Sure bra!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/417990/
Here you go. Lighthearted. And suited to your tastes.
>>321484793
That's the idea.
>>321484597
Is that Ian Flynn? Because I would agree.
>>321484597The shitstorm this would bring to /sthg/. My god, it would be beautiful.
>>321466237
It's strange, as they kind of took a different approach from Tyson Tan's work. Sure, he did the concept art, but the adaptation to their recent stuff is kind of... strange.
>>321484759
There's a certain stigma with the furry fandom. They constantly have dark backstories, or general situations/scenarios that are not entirely good. Just look up a few OCs, you'll find that most of them are ridiculous as all hell, AND have serious shit. For example;
>Likes; Linkin Park, Sex, Drugs
>Hates; Happiness, love, God
Shit like that. Not including black fur with at least one or two neon colors somewhere (excluding the eyes), of course.
>>321484813
Thanks I needed a good laugh.
>>321484442
Bondage dragon is better, to be perfectly frank my amigo.
>>321484519
Brevon was honestly an outlier in the genre.
He should have appeared on the second game, not first, to show things CAN get awfully dark instead of the lightheartedness you were used to for two games. Would hit way harder than him getting not realized to full potential like we saw in FP1.
Hell, if anyone deserves to kill Carol's sister, if anyone deserves to make a meaningful murder in the series, it's him
>>321485024
Well, is it possible for it be done right?
>>321485024
Yes, but those are all poorly done. I'm sure one day someone will come along and do a serious story with fuzzy critters well.
>>321485151
>Brevon
>dark
More like edgy. He was such a stock villain it hurt. He was like that alien faggot from Shadow with the worst qualities of Eggman mixed in. He was stupid and somehow people thought he was a good villain because he beheaded a guy and did other generic villain shit.
>SabatSandrakers blown the fuck out
>>321484923
It would be a good fit to be honest, as it could easily be marketed as a Sonic comic that appeals more to girls.
>>321485209
>>321485285
It's very much possible, and I welcome the day when we can have a GOOD series again that just happens to have animal characters. Solatorobo, Klonoa, and so on; give us more games like these. Fuck other shit like DUST and whatever else. I want more like this;
>"BAHAHA! I AM VILLAIN, AND I AM GOING TO TURN YOUR WORLD INTO AN OIL MINING RIG FOR MY GALACTIC EMPIRE!"
>Player plays a goofy looking cartoon mascot
>Finds an artifact that just so happens to counter the villain's exact scheme. What a coincidence!
>"CURSE YOU, YOU FLEA-BITTEN RODENT! I'LL RETURN ONE DAY TO GET MY OIL!"
I'd kill for a stupid fun game like this. Hell, Solatorobo 2 would suffice.
>>321485351
The only generic villain things I can think of him doing are
>having minions do field work most of the time
>letting the protagonist live
Most of the game, he's staying out of the limelight, and as soon as he has he's army empowering battery, his first priority is to bail the fuck out of there as soon as possible, which he even does in the middle of a figth because fuck his army and fuck that planet.
Most "stock" villains would cause needless havoc, beat around the bush conquering small villas and fighting major global forces instead of gathering the macguffins they wanted in the first place.
What are your standards for a good villain? Do they need some epic Andrew Ryan quotes in one singular moment of the game?
>>321484519
'80s and '90s cartoons, along with the odd touch with the furry fandom. Today's content creators used to be latchkey kids sitting around the house arguing about Nintendo/Sega console wars and watching He-Man, SatAm, and the sort of stuff that used to be called "brain-rotting garbage" but nowadays is fondly remembered as "that show that was pretty cool".
Those kids have grown up. Gotten degrees. Studied philosophy and classical literature. As they strive to be remembered, they all come to similar solutions: apply the basic lessons of moral philosophy and life experience to their creative output. Their main life experiences, short of the occasional panic attack or failed drama production, are the cartoons they watched as a kid. Revelations start, drafts are written, and before you know it a purple freedom fighter dragon is getting shocked to death by an intergalactic warlord while another failed revolutionary looks on in horror.
No one will stop them, and reason cannot reach their minds. They want to see their beloved cartoons be accepted by the world as a mature and profitable frontier for acceptable literature, come Hell or high water. Sure, Fifi LaFume will never be published in the next gentleman's magazine, but at least something's out there that I made, they say to themselves as they slip on their Sonic pajamas and rest underneath their Jem poster.
Why would anyone strive to have dub VAs, those are the guys you get when you're on a budget.
>>321485639
It's more of a problem of who's playing games now, though. Games like FP and Solatorobo only appeal to the nostalgia gamer or some other equally dedicated but small fanbase.
I'm sure one day some dev will hit it big and we'll get back to having cartoon animal mascots all over the place, but so long as people would rather play non-game mobile junk or manly shooting games featuring manly men, it aint happening.
>>321485858
I dunno. Why would huniecam strive to have facebook artstyle?
People are strange and independent. We're just the consumers.
Pretty impressive production values
FP must have been a lot more successful than I thought it was
>>321485639
From what I've read most big developers don't make animal characters because of furries. They don't want to make a game they feel is nice and cute and for kids (most of those were made for kids in mind) turn into nothing but porn. Also games like that don't really sell all that well. I mean FP sold amazingly well but that's because of the budget they had. Most real developers don't feel they should put any real money in a game that won't really sell.
>>321478820
>I mean I might just play the story mode because why the fuck not.
I think it's worth it. It can get cringy but it also has a lot of moments it nails, and it actually gives a lot of good context for why you are doing what you are doing in each level.
Without spoling much, there's a moment where you fight the sickest boss you'll ever see in a 2d platformer, and then the next stage has you riding it. There's a very good plot reason for it but if you are playing classic it will likely seem out of place.
>>321483912
>>321483092
Fuck anon, you might wanna make a post about that on the fourms, that's a pretty good idea.
>>321485782
That sounds as stock and generic as the one you're describing as stock and generic. He's the typical cowardly businessman villain archetype.
Typically ones that have depth but the writer for FP has shown on multiple occasions that she is incapable of that at all.
>>321485956
I wouldn't even put FP in the nostalgia category because half of the people I show it to that played Genesis back when we were kids call it furry garbage and the other half that's played it hated it.
>>321486129
It's more that they decided to skimp out on the DLC to the first game like cockheads and put that money towards the sequel instead.
>>321485956
Mascots DO hit it big.
On mobile.
Which is a travesty. Weren't it for Apple's asinine closed garden platform, and Google's horrible amount of fuck's given at their semi-open garden, we could actually have GOOD games on mobile.
But we don't. It's all trash tier shit in there designed to manipulate ratings and friend requests/shares.
>>321486163
>turn into nothing but porn
Porn will be made regardless of anything else. The sooner people accept this the happier everyone will be.
>>321486278
>but it also has a lot of moments it nails
Such as? I can't remember any that it nails.
inb4 Milla's "death"
inb4 torture scene
inb4 Brevon getting killed
inb4 oxygen
None of those were good.
>>321485639
>>321485209
>>321485024
I actually think freedom planet does do it right, at least once you actually get into it. WhenBreveon was electrocuting lillac or mutating Milla, I wasn't thinking "Man this is super edgy", I was actually into it and rolling with it.
>>321486278
>Hey guys I have an idea what if lilac had a super form where she's a dragon.
You don't just bring this shit up out of context.
>>321486449
I disagree
>>321486449
Perhaps the game just isn't for you, then.
>>321486303
Furries are normally on a whole other level than rule 34 art. The only real animal character right now is Baito in Nintendo Badge Arcade. And who knows maybe they will make a game with him. He's cute with a sweet personality.
>>321486557
Good for you. You have no taste in writing.
>>321486571
In concept it should be. In execution it wasn't at all and I'm still salty about it.
>>321486526
There's probably a suggestion subforum, i'm sure there's a way you can say it without it sounding stupid. You managed to do it here.
>>321486486
I was thinking, "Where have I seen this before?"
I mean, sometimes ideas don't have to be unique to be good, but come on.
>devs is going to shill his game again on /v/ nonstop
Oh boy
>>321486920
>Don't talk about video games on video game board
Oh boy
>>321486920
>Basically, nothing changes
Oh carry on then.
>>321486920
>a board where any degree of even mild praise is constructed as "shilling"
Here's your (you).
>>321481483
>Not anymore, I don't think. Maybe Taxman?
Mr. Lange is a /v/irgin, plus he answered questions for us before the game came out and a few months ago.
>>321486765
To be fair the torture chamber idea has been done to death even before the roboticizer.
Post yfw when you saw the announcement.
>>321487428
it fucking made my christmas
>>321487428
I was expecting it to be a new IP or something but I was pleasantly surprised
>>321487428
>actually good retro game gets a sequel
Shovel Knight 2 when?
>>321487675
>FP
>actually good
wew
>>321487675
Shovel Knight 2 is inevitable, once they catch up on the massive backlog of DLC campaigns and additional content promised by the Kickstarter. We may see Plague Knight and an average 50% off sale by Q2 2016 at this rate.
>>321487924
*Specter Knight. Might as well not bother covering up the mistake, but I always mix the two up.
>>321487924
They're coming out aster with Specter and King knight. A lot of what they worked on was accommodating the existence of DLC on nearly every version of the game.
Adding a new character the way thy did isn't all that easy.
My only wish for shovel knight 2 is... The Banz staying as a recurrent character.
>>321487428
This thread was the announcement for me.
>>321487428
I'm so fucking stoked for this you have no idea.
>those new team members
>those redesigns
>those cool new characters
>those amazing looking sprites
>those gameplay changes
2017 seems so far away, man.
>>321487428
The more indie games with actual gameplay the better. DEATH TO PIXELSHIT, LONG LIVE THE TRUE RETRO.
>>321487428
I wasn't expecting it, but I'm optimistic. I loved FP1, and the fresh pitch seems like some good foundation for the game to work on compared to the usual "fuck it, here's a Kickstarter, guess we'll make up some cool shit, cya."
>>321488371
Get the fuck out, Woolie, Pat or Liam. Your forced inclusion of Zubaz is shit. SHIT!
>>321488849
I just want games that do what other tried and true series did.
Pic related. Played 3 cases and already did this game did stuff Ace Attorney wouldn't dare. And I have to replay cases because there's actual permanent choices, ones from case 3 onwards that are permanent.
Where's my fucking Indievance Wars game?
>>321489136
>did did
>permanent permanent
I butchered my post trying to rewrite it.
>>321489136
I'm confused, are you saying you do or don't want games in the style of existing franchises, and that it's bad or good for them to change stuff up.I'm working on a pokemon fangame and if you have suggestions on what to change/leave alone i'd appreciate it.
>>321487261
If archive moe still up you would know the dev came to /v/ and promoted his game
>>321489749
I thought it was someone that worked on the sounds in the game, not the actual dev.
>>321489958
Someone who creates content for a game is considered a dev.
>>321489136
I do like the concept of that game though the ripped off artwork somewhat irks me
>>321468246
>>321468395
They should of brought him back as the artist for the cover art.
>>321484597
You know they could probably just hire him for the next game. From what I've heard the dudes always looking for work.
>>321489680
I'm saying it's a good thing. If someone finds out a winning formula, then it shouldn't die out. And if it's transformative, all the better. I wouldn't want a Not-Sonic, I have ROM hacks for that, I want a game like Freedom Planet. Shovel knight is the perfect megaman classic replacement.
But moreover, games with very unique and satisfying gameplay.
Hence my gripe with Advance Wars being dead. Same thing for Battle network. And "on-rails shooters" like panzer dragoon or even just a decent, half B-team crazy taxi.
And why I wonder why metroidfgs are such whiny cunts when metroidvanias never died, it's fucking christmas, go do yourselves a favor and get Axiom Verge, you fags. Grow up and act more like pre-Double Fine "point and clickers", a genre that never died but no one was complaining either.
>>321490043
Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I remember that guy also coming in half a year ago I believe (Lange?). Seemed like an okay guy. Though, I do not recall Strife ever coming on. Still, your post made it sound as though Strife came on, and not someone else.
>>321489749
He never made any threads though. Just showed up to the ones that were made, and he was chill. It was basically a Q&A session.
>Plot of the first game
>Aliens invading aliens
>Plot of Second game
>An ancient evil awakens
>>321428904
>superfluous Japanese subtitle on the main title of a western game
So, it's going to be as painfully weeaboo+furry cringy as the first? No, wait, that intro clip they took the time to make... it's going to be even worse, isn't it?
>>321490785That is also an alien.
>>321490785
>Plot of the first game
>Ristar's-Villain/Robotnik
>Plot of the Second Game
>Sonic Adventure
>>321490785
What if the ancient evil is an alien?
>>321490896
So an ancient alien awakens?
>>321490925
They even have a tikal.
>>321490896
>the inevitable "bondage dragon is Lilac's mom" speech
>the inevitable "Join me, and we can rule as mother and daughter" speech
>the inevitable "NEVER!" delivered as only Dawn can

There will be so many cliches on display you'll never want to see another popular '80s movie again.
>>321491107
I like the design and all, but what?
>The Holodragon and the Princess
Nigga that's a robot squid, not a dragon.
>>321491353
Nah, she can't be. Merga's old as dirt.
>>321486920
>>321490446
Hi I am he.
I am not working on Freedom Planet 2.
I'm now leading a more ambitious project.
Let's see how this goes.
I hope they make the boss fights less shitty in this one.
>>321491513
What is it?
>>321491513
Drop more random bits of info about yourself.
>>321491465
The squid bot is a dragon projector.
The dragon it projects is actually material and shoots real lasers.
>>321490851
Considering the original creator of the characters is Chinese, and much of the game takes Chinese influence (sans SUSHI!!!), along with having Chinese lettering all over the original game, expect the game to take a lot of Chinese influence.
>>321491513
Hey Lange! Sucks to hear you're not a part of FP2, but I am interested in this new project you're doing.
>>321491789
You know, that would be cool and all if that wasn't a fucking robot squid.
>>321491513
>I am not working on Freedom Planet 2.
SOOOOO as we were saying, Lilac > Milla > Carol right?
Also fuck you guy in the back, the bosses weren't shitty, they weregit gud
>>321491640
Cannot say yet.
I can at least say it's a fast paced 3d platformer.
>>321491787
I repeatedly lost two to three days of sleep working on Goku vs Superman, and nearly fried my old computer in production.
>>321491893
Eh, I like Carol as a character and her design more than Lilac, but I'm terrible with her gameplay. Lilac is easily meant for speed running and is fun to play, but I like her the least. Milla is easily my favorite overall, and especially with the gameplay.
>You will never make kittens with Old Carol, New Carol or Carol's sister.
Why even live?
>>321491513
>>321491958
Well I hope it at least retains your sound effects from FP1. They're tight.
>>321491513
You're pretty late to the party, since this thread will be capping soon, buddy.
>>321492078
Milla is actually the fastest character, her shield bursts can catapult her around faster than Lilac's dragon boost
>>321492119
Thanks. I'm more curious as to how they intend to replicate my sound design for new or variant sounds, assuming there are any.
>>321492161
It's not like I had much to say.
>>321491513
>>321491958
>it's a fast paced 3d platformer.
As in, similar to the 3d sonic games? Adventure 2 is one of my favorite games of all time so if so that'd be awesome, but i'm totally off base i'm still interested in whatever you work on.
How far into the future will it be till you can share more details?
>>321492319
I'm very aware, I'm just really bad at actually making this a thing. Regardless, I still love playing Milla the most and she is a cutie. Lilac I try to use to speed through levels.
>>321492161
>doge face
I cracked up when I saw this the first time.
>>321492410
I would say similar except I don't consider any of the 3d Sonic games to actually be proper 3d Sonic games. The combination of bugs, poor design choices, automation, linear level design, etc are things I would not want to take direct example from. I would rather try to work out better implementations of the best ideas and make something much more expansive and interesting, you know, mechanics that play on momentum and more sprawling level design. I also complain a lot about slope physics. So there's a hint.
>>321483357
I pity those who can't enjoy the cringiness of this game.
>>321492780
>I don't consider any of the 3d Sonic games to actually be proper 3d Sonic games. The combination of bugs, poor design choices, automation, linear level design, etc are things I would not want to take direct example from.
These are ironically the things I like about adventure 2, though obviously the positive side of them, and on the same token, why I don't like the 2d sonic games, because they go into the other direction.
But I loved freedom planet anyways, it was really amazing and fantastic despite the the problems I have with the fomula it was building on, so, again, I'm looking forward to whatever your new project is.
Hope to hear more about it soon, and good luck.
>>321493116
The amateur voice acting and cheesy dialogue gave it a nostalgic charm. I really do unironically like story mode because of it. Yes, even the part when the VAs finally got paid in sushi at the convention and they happened to record it.
>>321493191
Again Strife is the creator, he made most of it. I was mainly the sound effects guy.
Imagine the kind of action you would see in the spectacle portions of the Adventure games, but with actual control over the action and not having control arrested from you at the cost of jarring bugs for trying to take control back. Much more organic and versatile gameplay.
>>321492410
>How far into the future will it be till you can share more details?
Whoops missed that part.
Core engine is already thoroughly developed and we have an awesome team. If we keep up the pace should be before summer of next year. I don't want to start showing things off until we're confident in its substance.
>/v/ won't give this series a chance because "le furry shitposting meme"
>best girl has a sister now
lmao 2cat
>>321493603
Thought a lot of /v/ did give it a chance, despite that perception.
>>321428904
But the first game isn't even finished.
>>321493763
>>321493603
2bfp sold me on it
>FP related thread hits bump limit
>all of it is speculation about FP2
>no discussion on the actual content that was (half) released today
>like the fact that Torque's first stage is hard as fuck
>or that Torque has a competent shmup stage as his last level
>or that Milla's Adventure Mode ending is a straight up alternate continuity
>>321493603
/v/ isn't as closed mind as you think. Look at Undertale, that game has memes, furries, and homogays and /v/ loves the shit out of it.
>>321493870
They did for me also. But now they just seem to really suck. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the second game.
>>321494076
>homogays
Well most of /v/ IS gay.That explains all the shitposting.
>>321493990
I'm on vacation and cannot access my main computer with it on. Good to know that got released so I can finally play Toque's part and Milla's story.
>>321493990
>the actual content that was (half) released today
All I wanted at a minimum was to see Torgue dance in the mall but we can't even have that!
>>321494280
There isn't that much to see sadly, Torque is only available in Time Attack and 95% of his exclusive level content is locked, most of what has been found so far was through debug mode
Also Milla's adventure mode is broke if you don't have a completely clean save file (data of the whole game, not just individual character files)
>>321462007
I bet you object to putting a pussy on robots, too.
>>321494462
Oh my. Guess I better wait until it's completely released then.
>>321493442
Will there bee an announcement trailer posted to your channel (>>321491513) when it's announced or will it be elsewhere?
>>321495069
If not my channel, then an official channel for the project. Even if it's not announcements or trailers, I'll still have things about it posted on my channel that would lead to the official one. So either way you can't miss it.
