Goodbye Volcano High - "The Future of Gaming", The Parody Game of the Beloved Snoot Game Franchise

[Vasiliev]

Pretty decent rundown of the whole situation from the steam discussion forum of all things. Some shitposting going on there since I guess the devs aren't policing it as heavily as their discord at the moment.

>Want it to come out so the community can DeepFake the cast's VAs into 'Snoot Game'
I hadn't even thought of that, but now I want to see it, too. Just imagine the salt.

Man...fuck playing snoot game was a experience felt teary eyed at both ending 3 and 4 though too bad i had to get ending 1 and 2 for all the bonus chapters. However it was worth it just for the PTA meeting chapter,I' CANT BREEF and the final bonus chapter

Spoiler

slight PL but as someone who's parents never got along with each other this made cry like a bitch and makes me hope that if i had kids to try my best to be a good parent. [/ISPOILER]

A double whammy of interesting stuff from yesterday thanks to the downtime. First up is that KO_OP (specifically the narrative director and art director) and GVH are at GDC this week Monday-Friday with a small demo for the game. They will also be at PAX East on Thursday. Supposedly, there will be a publicly available demo for download from Steam at some point before release ("seemo" is KO_OP's project director).

Spoiler: A few pictures of the demo booth

Yesterday afternoon, the former art director Lucie Viatge also stealth dropped a bunch of reference sheets for the characters on their website. (Archive) I'm still not entirely sure if these were meant to be shared publicly as it wasn't released via an official channel and the sheets contain some errors and oddities that I don't think would've gotten past a detail screening (Rosa's metric height measurement is the same as Sage's - 1m50 - but her imperial measurement erroneously puts her at 5'11 instead of 4'11. Also, Reed's sheet contains what looks like a small back and forth between two designers, something which the two officially released character sheets don't have, and all the new sheets lack pronouns and starsigns that the official ones have). As of now, KO_OP hasn't commented on it.

Spoiler: Character Sheets

The two officially released character sheets for Trish and Fang are posted below for reference/comparison.

And in KO_OP discord server lunacy news, the first recorded event of a long-time regular being banned. "kac" aka "kac blade of rosa" (who shows up in an earlier post) had almost 5000 messages during his nearly three year tenure in the wasteland that is that server. Let's see what happened.

Spoiler: Discord shenanigans

A wager between him and his friends over a game of Overwatch 2. The loser has to be nonbinary for a month... in Poland.

The locals not happy about this, considering their fictional idol is non-binary and they are all lovely little queerthings that would never disrespect anyone. Kac is subsequently banned and branded a 'queerphobe' by the moderation team. The local underage sycophant takes no time pissing on the fresh grave.

His ban reason. Hilarious that they previously reprimanded him for obsessing over a particular character.

The sycophant tries to double back on his overt betrayal but does so in the most pathetic and prostrating way possible. And yes, everyone in this server always tries to immediately change the topic to something random whenever Snootgame, or a ban, or anything even remotely contentious or awkward is brought up. It's as obnoxious as it looks.

Another user fruitlessly attempts to chime in. Apparently everyone in this server is one step away from being banned. While I can't personally confirm it, apparently "AetherMuse" was banned sometime in December for posting a 'concerning message' that might have hinted at suicidal thoughts/ideations.

Unlike the last time this happened, nobody is banned for questioning or doubting the moderation team on this one.

Bonus meme: No, this user was not banned. Somehow.

Noot Game when?

So being eastern european is also a bad fit, who knew?

 

[Moja Zemlja]

From Reed's character sheet, why exactly would the designs need to be simplified? They're textures on a 3D object something like that shouldn't be an issue.

Because the game is animated in 2d.

Can these fucking devs be anymore up their own ass? It's a fucking visual novel with QTE, it'd be one thing if it was a fighter or a platformer, but you ain't doing shit in this game other than press button for more text. Who the fuck would be willing to actually line up to play this at an event, let alone on their own computers/consoles at home?

 

[Fishy Fish Fish]

Hey! I actually screencapped the same question about Snoot Game, haha.
I know a lot of people have already commented on the designs, but I thought it would be fitting to since the artist posted all of the official character sheets.
I have this weird love-hate relationship with them. The mash of dinosaur features on a human body/physique has this weird uncanny valley feel, and some of the details screams fetish material. (Stella walks around fucking barefoot. Ew). But at the same time, I do think the artist has some talent, and I do like the colors and details that reflect the personality of said characters. I'm easy to please though.
I don't lurk too much in the server, but that Elim2109 kid often posts about what stuff they're reading, and it's like always troon propaganda shit. Poor kid's intentionally confusing himself (herself? I can't tell), and they're probably being groomed too.

For the benefit of the autistic ratings I am about to get, stationary = still, stationery = drawing tools

It's not like her collection is walking or something, tbh.

I think they reason they even had a booth, is because again they clearly wanna emulate Life is Strange or Night in the Woods.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

That booth is the saddest thing I've ever seen. It's like a three legged dog, but not at all likeable because it isn't a dog. And that table has four legs, not three. Maybe if they cut one of the legs off of that table I'd feel more sympathy for their sad sad little booth.

Fucking "accessibility"? For what? It's a visual novel/fmv game that sometimes has basic QTE's... Oh wait a minute they got the subtitles done! wow Give them a big pat on the back for doing the arduous task of copying the dialogue from the script and overlaying them over scenes with voice lines.
Also LMAO @ around 5 hours of total playtime. All this faffing around with dev time for only that. Absolutely amazing.

Cavemanon should counter this by adding teledildonics support. It's only fair.
