Dark Souls has more in common with Castlevania than with anything “RPG”.

As for Diablo type games, I personally call them “looter RPGs” as a retroactive term. Because the “looter shooter” genre that popped up about a decade after diablo is literally just Diablo but FPS.

Genre names are wack anyway. The “[other game]-like” moniker will always be more descriptive and clear, plus being a reminder that every new thing in video games is a refreshed take on some pre existing thing.

sanya, do games w I'm looking for play testers for my wacky Stanley Parable inspiredgame to give me honest opinion. If you are fan of those types of games, let's play : )

If you are still looking for playtesters, I’d be willing to try it out. I’d also be running it using proton

Road_Warrior_10,

Can you find me on Discord please : ) my name there: evotheseusgames

ARPGs should be the Diablo-likes. Half the time, Souls-likes are barely even RPGs.

Diablo-likes have skill trees, classes, leveling… You know, the player-customizable “role” part of Role-playing.

Souls-likes often are just action games of dodging and equipment stats, without any ability to change the intrinsic role of a character.

I’m an IT dork, and if I pick up a wrench I don’t suddenly become a plumber or mechanic.

Uh, what method are you planning on using? I have my phone and a super 8 as far as recording goes. I mean I’m down, but I need to know what’s involved.

Road_Warrior_10,

Hi, the way I’ve done it before is we get on Discord or any other screen sharing site and you share the screen and play the game and we discuss in real time what you like, what you don’t. What work, what does not so can get the feel of someone else of experiencing the game for the fist time. : ) If that is okay with you we can do it

I would love to try, I can also test linux/proton support

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

Voice chat is lil bit of a no no due to personal reasons. Still, good luck finishing your game! I have already wishlisted it on steam.

Road_Warrior_10,

Thank you so much for the wishlist : ) Sorry for the voice thing, but it’s very important for me as it is the best way to get feedback. I’ve tried doing recordings with playtesters and it’s just not the same. Hope I will get your opinion on the full game when it’s out. Warm regards : )

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

yep, I will make sure to drop a review on steam by than. Best of luck to you

would you be okay if it were played on a livestream? or would it have to be a one-on-one sort of thing?

Road_Warrior_10,

One on one, The full game is not ready yet and I’m not ready to show it to the public. If you are okay to share your screen on Discord or another screen sharing site, we can play and discuss the game : )

I love Stanley Parable, I played the original when it released on PC but switched to console gaming since then, where I played the Ultra Deluxe.

Is a console release planned for your game?

Road_Warrior_10,

That depends on the success of the PC version. I read somewhere that porting a game costs between 10k and 30k and that is if Sony even agree to have you on their store. So I would love to do it if these conditions are met.

slin,

What are the conditions on Xbox? Shouldn’t it be easier to port from Windows to Xbox, they have this ID@Xbox indie program, I don’t know much about it.

Road_Warrior_10,

I don’t know I haven’t researched that, but I assume they want quality projects with proven success. I would have to contact them at some point. Thank you for the idea : )

I'd be willing to try it out! I have not played the other games you've listed, though I am very aware of them and play a lot of other games besides.

Road_Warrior_10,

Thank you the way I’ve done it before is players share their screen on Discord or any other screen sharing site and I watch them play and we discuss the game in real time. It’s fun. Are you willing to do that? : )

I’ve been pretty satisfied with the rite in the rain pens. The ink is pretty nice for writing in all conditions. They have a pretty wide variety to choose from.

Mistic, (edited ) do games w Which game series had the worst anniversary celebration?

Genshin Impact’s first anniversary was the most horrendous one I’ve seen.

They couldn’t even bother to send out an in-game message to congratulate the players.

What they did instead is paying thousands of dollars for Twitter emojis and dishing out a few give-away events where you had to practically advertise for the game to enter. Were you guaranteed to get any reward? No.

Essentially, instead of even acknowledging the anniversary, they made players advertise their game.

They were also supposed to introduce a paid bundle with some cosmetic items alongside a free concert stream (the concert was pretty good). But that was after the anniversary. Keep the bundle in mind, however.

What did it lead to?

  • Thousands of outraged players flooded social media.
  • Their discord was spammed with “qiqi fallen” emote (one of the characters laying on her back with a blank stare).
  • Review bombing got to the point where even Google Classrooms became one of the casualties

I’m probably missing some other details, but this lasted for weeks.

After a long while of non-communication, the devs gave in and finally decided to give players something. This “something” turned out to be the bundle that was supposed to be paid content alongside some (read “very little”) in-game resources. There was also another another giveaway event with, this time, guaranteed rewards. The rewards were, practically, you either get a scooter or one cent. Needless to say, it left a sour taste afterward.

Honestly, it felt like a slap in the face, but it was enough for the things to start calming down.

So far, even though they’re still very stingy with any sort of rewards, they at least make sure to congratulate the players somehow and give something.
