Slaughty's "Unsolicited" Let's Plays & Reviews

Slaughty · 2024-09-04T06:18:06+0900

I've decided to join the herd and start doing Let's Play videos of some of the community's games. My channel is small and right now just consists of a devlog, a trailer, and game test footage, but I'm aiming to change that. This will primarily be for the dev's benefit, as I am not monetized and this takes away from game dev time, in the hopes they can improve their game. Spoiler: Who am I? So, who am I and why should you care? You probably shouldn't, I'm just another random rpg maker dev, but I've been around for a few years and picked up a few things along the way. I've also been a gamer for longer than some of you have been alive. Everything is just my subjective opinion and I'll just call it as I see it. As a dev, I've always really appreciated videos of my games being played and found it really useful to get feedback and find ways to improve my game making skills. Anywho, right now I'm playing some games that I thought looked cool or interesting for roughly about an hour. The devs didn't request a video or anything, I just wanted to do it for fun. Right now there's a "score" at the end but it doesn't mean anything and is completely arbitrary. You can request me to play your game but it doesn't mean I will. Spoiler: Criteria I'm doing this for fun, if it doesn't seem like I am going to have fun with your game, I'm not going to play it. YouTube appropriate - No Adult/sexual content, self harm, excessive swearing (some is fine), nudity, keep it pg-13ish Polish - a few placeholders are fine but a general amount of polish and detail need to be present. RTP is fine but needs to be used well. Demos/Early Access etc are fine but it must have roughly an hour's worth of gameplay and meet the above standards. Mainly Commercial games will be accepted. Exclusions will apply. No Visual Novels - sorry, I'm not reading your novel. No AI art/music/programming - it is what it is and not open for discussion itch.io/steam links only provide key(s) if your game cost money First up is MARGO - On The Brink by @SomaelCK I really enjoyed playing this game. It's very beautiful, and a lot of fun.

Ah it's a puzzle, much like in Super Mario where you have to choose the correct path in the castle or it loops forever.

Thanks from the video! Too bad that you never got to see the battles or the cool stuffs that would happen after the corridor.

Fun fact: All your complaints are actually due to RPG Maker Unite (yes, even the scar going into the hair and the weird tilesets, there's no shift-click to prevent autotiling feature so everything autotiles with everything even when you don't want) and so on.

I hope you give it a new try because after the Glitch Corridor are some really interesting logic puzzles and such.

@coffeenahc sorry, I couldn't finish your game, the difficulty really jumps up there. Reminds me of the path of pain from Hollow Knight.

Forgot to update the thread,
I played @rpgLord69 game, Cokaine Polar Bear on Monday.

And played Dine-In Dungeon by @Looey This was a really solid entry and might be a contender for 1st place at least from the games I've played so far.

Apologies for the ping's...

Another solid jam entry. This one is made with Pixel Game Maker MV. It has the best ABS I've played so far in the jam. The Fifth Hero by Padr81

Played Nowis-337's game, Cognition OPTION(al). Man, what a cool and unique concept and executed perfectly. I would not be surprised if this one wins or at least places really high.
