Kyrieru's new game!

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

...
trust me that's hardly enough for living
i guess people will agree about average hentai game have a not that good quality
because simply we don't have a big hentai game market without dlsite and dmm
that's why we can't get more great hentai game
i guess if he try make normal indie game it's possible to make
more money than hentai game
i don't think he trying to buy castle just try make money for next game
we don't have good market?
...
god i'm so drunk now

Eh, i think Parasite in City did pretty well? But you could be living in a high-cost city (or want to buy a castle, haha). Maybe hentai standards are as you said, but games like yours, Kyrieru's, Mosaboora's are definitely turning heads and raising the bar. I dream of a bigger hentai game market, but let me catch up first in terms of quality.

... my biggest problem as a developer. Most of my games were abandoned like so,

1. Start small/simple
2. Develop for a month or two
3. Realize the game isn't fun enough. (lack of enemies, content, or unique gamplay)
4. Decide that I don't have time to add enough content to make a simple game work, or decide that I don't have enough time to work with complicated game mechanics over a long period of time,
5. Oh no! I haven't made a game in a while! Time to work on something small/simple....

Drats! Step 1. and I already tripped.

The pre-order path feels like a stressful one. So much pressure/expectation.

Well, like I said, starting small is a good option until it becomes a burden.

Kurovadis was exactly the kind of game I needed to make at the time, with it's low-res graphics and relative ease of development...a stark contrast to the huge, overblown story driven games I kept trying to make before then. However if I were to make a game like Kurovadis again, I would probably feel limited by the low resolution of the sprites, and as a result I probably wouldn't find working on it as satisfying as I did then. To work on such a game again, there would have to be some factor that I could take pride in as being representative of my current skills, be it better graphics, or additional gameplay elements that it lacked.

i mean generally
and i'm a very good now but not that much
because i'm not working alone but someday i will buy castle with crocodile

oh i miss one thing i guess you ask to me about i say "usual hentai game have low quality"
this is from my 10 years graphic career
my non hentai career is was not very well i'm not a A class artist even not a B class artist
and when i make some short hentai game then some people say "i never seen this quality of hentai game"
i'm not say they are right but you can see the point
and if you search little bit then you immediately can find over 1000 artist more better then my pixel art
my point is hentai market is not safe that's why we can hardly found professional work in hentai market

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

Probably cutting into something thats already been said.

The sprites on Kurovadis were fine(now Innocent Unjust was awful) and the gameplay was fun and it wasn't hard. i don't think to many people look for a story in these(Yet)but mostly its always Stranded/alien outbreak/woke up 100 years later. donations sound like a great idea but patron shouldn't be taken up until production time and game ideas are in a better place. maybe release Demo's or pictures of the games you feel won't succeed maybe everyone else will like it who knows. my crappy one cents...

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

the answer is clear, I with no art skills start a H game business. hire you guys and then as the person who pays your bills what I say is the quality we are making is all that matters. I then take the profits from the H game business and invest it into recreational marijuana. I'll be the one with the castle, after all I am a mother fucking princess.
or a simple brake down

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

I hope that at some point you find some of your past projects interesting again, that fighting game (?) you were starting to develop looked quite fun. You know what's best for you though. Good luck.

There may be better pixel artists, but few of them have the same overall skill-set as you. You're decent at pixel art, sure, but you're also decent at animation, and at a high resolution that most people would struggle to work at. It's this combination of skills that makes your work something exceptional, and greater than the sum of it's parts.

In my case, I'm good at pixel art (at a much lower resolution), pixel art-based animation, I'm decent at making music, I'm a mediocre artist at best, and my programming is passable. However, very few people have all of these skills at once. Being a jack of all trades may be less valuable in an AAA studio, unless you're a director, but as an indie dev it's very valuable, especially since it means I'm not splitting profits with anybody, which makes a $5 price point more viable.

I may pick up that concept again, but I don't know if I'd go for the same style again. It was higher res, and good looking, but it may have been a little bland.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

Just want to add in that one of my favorite aspects of Kurovadis was that it was so wild and ambiguous. When I downloaded it, I wandered through the first few rooms VERY cautiously for fear of there being a jump-scare ahead, or the game turning out to be primarily guro with hentai as an auxiliary thing.

I thought the nebulous circumstances injected some real tension into what could easily have been a generic "keep going to the right until the end but watch out for rape monsters" experience.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

Kurovadis had really good gameplay. I hope we see an HD remaster of sorts some day with larger sprites, more detailed sprites, zoom and gallery.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

My post was just to jingle my little bell as I stood on the street corner hoping to get people hyped up and pre-ordering, while mocking those who were getting pretty paranoid about him dying before completion thus "losing their $5". I'm not beating people down for not donating and you may absolutely wait to see if it's a game you even want to purchase it in the first place before buying it post-release. But if I can run the hype machine then by god I'll run it.

Right on?

Nobody questioned you or said you did anything wrong, so I assume you meant to un-align yourself with my (typically caustic) rhetoric, which tells me that my words came across with more vitriol than I intended. So allow me to clarify.

I'm not attacking those who not donate for being 'bad people' or whatever. I'm attacking those who fail to demonstrate the critical thinking required to realize things like I spoke of in my post. If people weren't so horrified at the thought of someone hearing that they'd been scammed or conned (moreso than actually being scammed or conned), we could get a lot more done.

 

[dudlol]

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

Regarding paranoia. Kyrieru hates donations and seemed at loathe to sell pre orders. Do you really think he wouldn't work himself to death trying to refund the pre orders if somehow he couldn't complete the game?

Yes.

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

I've pre-ordered the game! I'm excited for it.

I hope this will motivate you more, Kyrieru!

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

Game is still in development, but there's been some blog posts over the last few months. A couple pics, some neat low res 3D models, a post theorycrafting about different currencies in games.

You must be registered to see the links

This has a pic and description for one of the minibosses, sounds pretty cool. That's a lot of pixels in one monster, probably looks pretty eerie when it's animated.

Still looking forward to the game!

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

I feel like I can relate somewhat to Kyrieru. He's already touched on this before, but he mentioned it again in the most recent post about the way he works. Like, getting so focused on your work and what you are doing that that's all you do. Sometimes (okay, most of the time) I end up doing the same thing when I'm translating, and the amount of stress that builds up is no joke. So I can definitely appreciate what Kyrieru is doing.

 

[Nastynassy]

Re: Kyrieru's new game!

First I think he will finish the game some day but what really annoys me is his way of life.

First he starts several games at the same time wasting a lot of working time everything okay so far cause everybody knows he makes good work and shiat

Than running out of Money cause of all that timewasters and starts begging his fanbase for money indirect with his preorder, everybody helps cause we all know he is a good guy

And than...This senseless start of crappy 3D-art like he has more time for wasting after begging, serious?

Than he comes with: "I do this for stress relief" Yes of course relief stress from working on games with working on games, I hope nothing bad happens...

-Crying over getting a burn out, serious business

Maybe he should get some real life and Girl and relief some stress inside of her cause stuff like this is preventing a burn out.

Just my Opinion
