Average Stylish Action Enjoyer

I’ve seen other people do this mutuals thing so let’s see what happens if I try it too Yo! I love hack n slash games and action JRPGs Looking for mutuals who are into: Kingdom Hearts YS Final Fantasy Star Ocean NieR Tales Of Drakengard Devil May Cry Ninja Gaiden No More Heroes

@DivineStudi0s @SapientiaNight This is a difficult genre to get right, best I can tell you is to do your own thing and see how it lands. There’s no set rulebook on how to make an action game, so don’t feel afraid of putting your own spin on the formula.

@DivineStudi0s @SapientiaNight That’s something for you to decide. A combat system can be as simple or complex as you want it to be, so long as you are willing to structure and adjust the games designs around it to match it.

Been experimenting with something new for combat 👇 You can now chain 3 different weapons into a single combo in the air, and switch between them freely to reposition both on ground and mid-air. Still testing some animation cancel tech #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #madewithunity #IndieGameDev #gaming

@SapientiaNight @DivineStudi0s You can add a randomizer to your favorite action game and it gives you the benefits that a roguelike would give you it, without all the pitfalls that come with following that design.

@SapientiaNight @DivineStudi0s Roguelike design provides a service that action games already provide in their design, which is replayability for diversity of experience. Like I'm thinking of any well-regarded action game and trying to imagine what turning it into a roguelike would add to it, and i got nothing.

@DivineStudi0s @SapientiaNight Because it shapes how a player handles their progression with the gameplay over time. And I also have a preference when levels are designed with a clear start and finish in mind, take the attempt to make more memorable on subsequent playtroughs.

@DivineStudi0s @SapientiaNight Personally, I don’t think procedurally generated design works well for the genre Enemy placement, what areas in a game any specific enemy spawns in, and also the level design is an important aspect of an action game that in my opinion should not be randomized-

@dav_ray71 @Maruisalone May I ask what part of having so much of your toolkit tied to cooldowns is deep and engaging?

AND YOU CAN CHAIN UP TO FIVE WITH THE FIRST THREE GIVING YOU MORE AIR TIME??? WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE THINK THIS GAME ISN'T FUN?????? I WASNT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME FFXVI YOUR COMBAT IS ACTUALLY DEEP AS HELL

@PandaKingEX No Lost Soul Aside?

Best action combat. Not ordered.

@PandaKingEX @LuisRodrguezVa3 They still do to this day without ever giving it a proper chance

@LuisRodrguezVa3 Same it’s godlike but that wasn’t the popular narrative at release people were talking mad shit

Bros so desperate that they are finally giving lost soul aside validation after trashing the hell out of it when it released.

@buriedlocket I believe Trigun, Gungrave and Kekkai Sensen are all of Nightows works that got an animated adaptation.

@zoadssjgod This is my first time hearing there’s an anime! I guess I just assumed people were talking about the game when they referenced it, I’ll need to check that out too

People seem confused

@buriedlocket The first Gungrave was really fun! I never got around playing the rest of the series Reminds me I still have to check out the anime one of these days…

@zoadssjgod The guy who designed the angel arm apparently went on to work on all the gun grave games too so I guess him and Nitow’s design work compliment each other! Mechanical designers are so impressive to me 😭

@buriedlocket Yeah I knew about the magazine going under, but I did not know that Nightow helped write the animes storyline and then reusing concepts in Maximum. The anime staff had some real talent to come up with something that fits the exact same aesthetic and themes as the source material.

@zoadssjgod Later Nitow was offered another publishing spot and asked to be able to continue the story of Trigun, which is where we get Trigun maximum! That’s why you see some similarities in trimax and 98 despite all the differences, he either suggested that for 98 or liked and kept it

@buriedlocket Wait really? That’s really cool! I thought Trigun had already ended its run by the time the anime aired, so they were being worked on at the same time? I remember the last thing they adapted from the manga before going fully original was the first chapter of Trigun Maximum.

@zoadssjgod It was actually designed by Noriyuki Jinnguji for the 98 anime!! Nitow liked the design so much he used it exactly as is for the manga. The body horror in general in the manga and 98 is so stunning

Might be a toxic thing to say… But the existance of the new Dissidia game pisses me off, and i just cant wait for the day this gets unceremoniously shut down so i can be hella annoying about it.

@AJ_psykos2 Saddest thing is they mostly just acted like opps We all knew they were brother fandoms

Do you know how insane it is for your biggest opps to say this?!

@CanipaShow That is a great investment!

Yes, maybe I bought all fourteen volumes of Delicious in Dungeon today, but I didn't put one hundred million dollars in the toilet and flush.

Covid was the era where I awakened to the fact that I might just be more fiscally responsible than executives at billion dollar companies.

@Skillful__ @StellaNoxEclair Dragon quest is massive in Japan though, children are definitely playing it over there

@StellaNoxEclair Most JRPGS have an audience like this unless it's like Pokemon Danganrompa or Persona to be fair, i dont know how many teens are playing Dragon Quest or Ys for example lol

This series used to be so powerful it had the ability to shape culture and now it's statistically "Unc gaming"

Happy International Seal Day!
