Valkyria Chronicles

Turn based Dungeon Crawlers like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

Have fun.

Approach an Anime con or any type of Con. Claim you are a game dev, ask to setup your game at the convention, have fun, ???, Proft.

I have first hand, the filter's are VERY effective.

That and the jerk finally quit and deleted his account.

Have fun folks.

I would have let this go if it wasn't for the post making the complaint that the Adult filter does not work when it does: especially when new accounts are made, It's shut off intentionally.

Then the user who makes the topic posts pic's and claims it doesn't work; which tells me he's being a twit wanting to pick a fight, looking for special treatment or attention. That's what I'm pissed off about; I'm not pissed about the topic or the subject matter, I'm pissed that someone was trying to start a fight or looking for attention with a garbage claim that I know holds no water.

A lot of folks let this go by before; I don't care if folks wanna talk a out the NSFW in games, I agree it's a discussion worth talking about, but the way it was brought up was done in a manner to try and force changes and expect everyone and everything to conform to them, it's just trash and bad form.

Edit 1: Minor spelling fixes as Auto Spell Correct is trying to keep messing me up. 

Mate, he's looking for attention to pull folks off of Itch.

Just report the jerk and see if you can get a mod to lock the topic... Unless you are a mod, can you lock the topic?

.... Dude, you are looking for attention.

You haven't deleted your account yet, it still links to a creator's account page which gives a link to a website.

Get out, get off; If I find you or any of your project's elsewhere in the indie space, I will avoid you like a plague as this whole mess seems like a setup to try to push people to something you are trying to create and draw other creators to post on your setup.

Just leave. You are not important enough for everyone to leave Itch, Steam or Gog for and looking for attention.

That and I can attest to Itch's ability when they setup the ADULT censor in their catalogue; you are just posting pic's no video's.

Edit: Fixing Grammar Mistakes.

An RPG.

You can keep the RPG basic like Paper Mario, keep it short too to keep the job small; however, for multiple kids to join in the design step, they can design worlds, characters, quests, jobs and so on. Kids want to make Skibidi Toilet a quest in order to fight it with.... IDK, Mr.Beast bot? Let'em, as you might discover they will more than likely make jobs and quest's based on whatever their minds get hopped up on.

Everyone can also take part in the project making characters, drawing up small towns and cities, weapons, oddities, choice in music and choosing sound effects or making them.... Alternatively, you might need to have grab a sound pack with music from Humble Bundle when they start selling them in another bundle again.

Game's I would recommend:

If you can find it and don't care for a movie tie-in- Someone attempted and made a spot-on rendition of the Last Starfighter, movie about a kid playing an arcade game, beats the final level in it only to discover it was sent out to look for pilots to fly starships.

This guy also has some good arcade titles to work with.

Retro in the term of Quarter Gobbler's, the kind of game where you play through once trying to get to the end, die once or too many times, then it's back to the title screen. OLD Nes games are a good example, better example's are Arcade games like Galaga, Space Invader's, etc.

I am being quite genuine; I haven't even mentioned anything else in this post that involves politics in the rest of this topic aside from the one that started it. I used to watch the GDC for specific topics in game development, such as the approach to game emulation where most of the professional industry views at the topic as piracy (Nintendo, Sony, I don't think Microsoft cares, Sega defiantly stopped caring after the Sega Genesis and Sega Dreamcast as Piracy and Homebrew are giving new life TO those consoles to a point were we have new Dreamcast Games) and how it could be turned around to be used as not only another profit margin, but to stop players from pursuing this 'legally' gray area and buy the game legitimately, especially since Nintendo started doing the EXACT same thing selling the game's on the Virtual Console line and calling it the right way while shamming everyone else much like it seems like you are trying to shame me right now.

Which, the talk was actually a good arguement; I'll link it here.
https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1023470/-It-s-Just-Emulation

Next, I get that this forum already accomplishes this; but we could also argue this for anime, horror, movies and so on that already accomplish this and there are conferences that already discuss these topic's, outside the forum to other forums and even social media platforms, some fan panels while others are from professionals in the industry that come out to these to discuss either personal projects or where something is going; Such as the creator of Robotech coming to the USA over to Ohayocon to discuss the future of his Anime, competing against Gundam and the literal hell hole of a nightmare with Harmony Gold has left his creation and after from odd years and discussing it to fans on how to save his franchise from that hellhole.

Which brings me now, in a sense. I look at the GDC, I discover a few topics were not focused on game development, but a political angle in a lot of the panels and a literal section of time for developers to go out and scream in front of the hall. This is technically a free market, I went looking to see if there was an another conference that didn't touch on these topics since aside from Gen Con in the Tabletop scene as an example, there's also River City con, Origin and the GAMA Expo, the latter of which accomplishes what GDC did; but their entire conference is fenced in with a membership buy-in.

So, I do some googling; and there isn't really much else out there to be a free market in, for the USA to an extent, especially FOR Indies; there's the Indie game Utsav over in India and a few others that do 'VIRTUAL' conferences, though they have been more showcase's of other indie development project's than discussions and that's about as much as I could look for, there is even a conference for Cellphone Games which has been a rough mix between Showcase and Conference.

So, in short, I am genuinely asking if there is another alternative that does what the GDC does, especially for Indie and cuts back on the showcase's and becomes less of a expensive commercial you could attend in real life; no political axe to grind, no nefarious plot, nothing. Even more than likely willing to go through with the painful process of setting one up.

What do you mean by increase you download? Amount of people downloading your game? Bandwidth and information to download to your computer?

It is not entirely true.

Usually there is open space for folks to interact with the speaker; usually to clarify or get some idea about what's going on. This is also true for any conference or con outside of this scope, Anime Conventions typically have this type of dynamic between professional/speaker and the audience whether it's asking questions trying to find love at said con or the specific's about asking the bare bone basics on how to setup an object using the abstract constructor's of a class for a newly created engine someone is presenting from the ground up.

Even then, there's been a bit of a rise in new engine's; mostly because the monoculture of talent coming out of college are either use to using Unreal, Unity or Godot for their project's, not many of them or rather, non of them to an extent, have taken the time to understand the geometry and how to manipulate certain aspects of a mesh or model to both promote and show they understand animating a model beyond just rigging it to a skeleton frame and applying movement... But that's a different topic for something else.

There is typically a good guarantee there is a response from the audience than to have someone come onto the podium to speak, no matter the subject or the issue.

Be more descriptive? What do you mean?

Would be easy, but does not encourage discussion.

There needs to be a go-between other than to work tirelessly on a title to speak beyond things left 'in-depth' for scoring as it then just feels like someone's school assignment. There needs to be more communication; I guess is what I'm getting at. Setting up such a thing as an event, I get; but it's all a bit one-sided.

Well; I'll go through the growing pains of organizing one if there's enough interest.

Though it may be over a combination of Discord, MMORPG's, Various chat program's beyond Discord and Zoom, various online games and/or anyone willing to volunteer their time from the professional side of the industry; such as folks who have already reached the publishing step or literal veteran's who have been unjustly fired due to the cause of the screaming sessions.

Discord & Zoom for the discussions, everything else to just be part of the event such as a mock vendor's hall that's not a vendor's hall, but other indies with a READY-MADE build of their project linking back to itch.io or steam via QR Code, Sections where they can discuss openly, that whole jazz... Even then; if real money needs to trade hands to get real professionals to SPEAK PROFESSIONALLY without having the knife of DEI; I would need help to setup the event to be invite only on a one-time payment for a ticket and keep it in-expensive.

Even setting up a section to be an artist alley.

Does anyone know if there is a Game Developers Conference for indie game developers that does not include a SCREAM session or any politics, just discussion of projects, engines both already used and being developed by their own teams, technology and discussing the future of where this is going?

Maybe even discuss just the topic's of development WITHOUT the ideas of DEI and just trying to discuss the nuts and bolts of memory manipulation, animation, squash an stretch while networking with others and opening the floor to folks wanting into this mess to expand their skills into this industry?

Hard to read the text backwards in AMERICAN mode. Need to remove the text object from the camera when setting it up in REVERSE.

Ya might have to mod them in mate.

Depends if you can get UNITY to run on those consoles.
I am not joking on that either, the game was made in Unity, if you can get Unity to run on any of those, then yeah; it'll run.

I think you can get it running on the PS3 or Xbox360 since Unity was developed around this time, though I'm unaware if there are packages to make the executable's for those.

PS2/GC/OGXBOX Era needs something else beyond Unity much older.

It's built in Unity.

There is a Unity Crash Handler in the program files.

I wish it wasn't built in Unity since Unity guzzles computer resources like Kirby at an all you can eat buffet; but I'm still glad this game is made.

Will there be any updates made to the build on Itch.io?

I invested into it waiting for a multiplayer that didn't require Steam's services. Then MP update comes out on Steam. So I'm curious if one will release on ITCH?

If it's not possible over the network via TCP/IP from the USA to someplace like Japan or Russia, that's fine; but I am wondering about Peer-To-Peer in a local area network where packet's don't have to travel as far and the player's manage their own server, host and save files.

You could try to mod it in yourself if you can find the file containing the texture.

Right now, dev. just wants to get it done.

He wants the developer to support it already because of his countries standards; I just want the game to get done. I'm not going to start a fight over community on this.

Because we see boobs daily, no matter where we look. Your mother? Boobs, The girl up the street, girl at the Mc Donalds Counter, Woman in the office, it's impossible not to notice and more impossible to remove boobs to tell a gender between male and female.

Folks in my country don't wear Speedos with the exception of folks who do visit to wear them as their whole custom.

Lastly,  just mod them in man if you are going on a Tyrade.

Mod it in?

Possibly?
Seeing how the game was built, there might be a possible LAN option?

They aren't as noticeable irl and even then, Kiseff isn't planning to add any H-Content or anything sexual because they don't want too. This is still an Artistic choice and it's in the FAQ; 6th bullet making note on Jiggle Physic's and asking about sexualized content.

https://itch.io/t/1656278/faq

There is a possible modding scene; you might go to modify to add this feature later. Trying to push this when the developer is just trying to get it finished isn't going to make them add it or consider it if they are trying to just get this done.

It's on Hiatus for Atlyss.

I believe the creator was not willing to go this far. Yes, the clothing is revealing no matter which sex for character creation; but it's more of an artistic choice for character creation.

If you want to go that far, you are better off modding the game. Beyond that; I'd rather see this game get done and reach completion first. Then worry about other details like this after or not at all.

I can understand if the rest is just content creation from here on out while trying to sort out ONLINE ability; which I'm hoping there might be some for of Standalone in the future without needing Steam, though I'm sorry if that's not possible: But is there any plan to allow user's to make quest's or write up a few to add to the world?

Like the Title Says and I went back through to notice several tags are missing.

So I'm wondering if they were pulled on purpose and noone bothered to update the community or other.

I believe there is a Bug with Agatha's Figurine.

If you accept the Candied Pair Quest; then the figurine doesn't show up and if you accept Agatha's request first, then it does.

I've also had to play Metal Gear Solid trying to evade Julis looking to force the player to follow them while trying to look for that figurine to figure out where it exactly is, checking the corners of the entire house/place.

I did,  mechanics are solid and so is the art. Aside from my nitpick on the subtle theming and the Firefox bug, you have a solid retro shooter. You should consider making a large one to sell.

It was on for retro FPS search results, I didn't notice what it was until the last second.

Game is solid, I'll admit that, I just don't like the undertone of it.

The game drifted my aim to the right and I ain't a big fan of the Yaoi/Gay imagery.

... How do you even get up there?

So no updates this year?

Well, ya should anyway mate. I'm a dev myself, though my stuff won't get published due to my inadequacy in understanding 3D. XD
And if you do a proper Sonic game, Sega would take you under their wing; I've seen Nintendo go after dev.'s even remotely touching an I.P. of theirs from years upon years ago: If there is another gaming crash, they would not last.

To correct myself; they would survive like last time, but if there's no competition with the exception of the indies, then folks may go to the indie dev's as a cheaper source of entertainment for games that give more for their small budget's like the editor you should try to publish beside your project, should being my keyword but it's your game, not mine, so do what you will.

Well, good luck to ya! I'll keep tabs on your project!
