What a terrible day to be a big fan of robots.

Been playing Zineth again recently because I really enjoyed it as a kid. One of the first examples of this "genre" alongside Crypt Worlds (the latter actually being made by troons)

ARCANE KIDS would later go on to make Neon White. No idea how it plays but I know that one of the characters was in a /v/ga vote under "most annoying".

The dating sim secret level is the worst example of this, it's not even an actual dating sim, you just scroll through textboxes, there's no gameplay, the surface level pseudo-intellectual message about muh existentialism doesn't even have anything to do with the lore either. Hakita stopped taking the secret levels seriously after the prelude and it's just huge wasted potential.

Speaking of Dating Sims, the Japanese sphere has tons more gameplay than the western one. I really wish there were more translations because it gets interesting with RPG combat and map movement and topic based conversation systems.
Here "Dating Sim" usually just means "Romance/NSFW VN"

I feel you. Baldr Sky has some kickass giant robot fighting to break up the VN segments, for example. But I think putting in fun stuff like that would get in the way of troons gooning to grooming kids.
Re: V1 nonsense. More and more I'm glad P2 turned me off Ultrakill entirely. Wish Hakita would take out the stupid jokes and focus on dumb mass murder, but that would involve admitting a mistake and putting in actual effort.

AFAIK, Arcane Kids also had a hand in creating Donut County, Tattletail and Wobbledogs - all fairly popular indie games.
Unfortunately, Arcane Kids as a collective have effectively disbanded and their last game will never be completed.

do all these games just "ironically" have shitty graphics that make Bubsy 3D look like a masterpiece?

It's understated just how much of an influence Cruelty Squad had. The difference is that Cruelty Squad is intentionally ugly (lolololz gimme reddit updoots for saying ugly game is intentionally ugly xddd) but as you played the game you could see through the shitty graphics and realize what the god-awful polygons were actually displaying, there was still consistency within the graphics and levels. Meanwhile, the developers of these games thought they could make it big by making everything fuck-ugly. Why? Because they have no talent and refuse to make something with love and care, it's called "copying something bad because you are also bad but think you can be better than it" phenomenon.

I don't know shit about Cruelty Squad. I thought it was just trying to be shitty for irony's sake or like a PS1 game.

No, Godot being a godawful engine that kills itself, sabotages the game, but it's an actually good game.
One of the things that piss me off about it's community is that awful redditoids latched onto it, these people will overanalyze everything to try and weave together a everything was planned for plot, when I merely don't think that's what Cruelty Squad is for.
Cruelty Squad has, for sure, a lot of underlying shit it wants to say but most of it is done either bc Ville thought it was funny or cool, with no underlying message, and these fags can't understand that.

arcane kids's stuff made me laugh at the time at how absurd it all was, but nowadays i feel like some of it heralded irony poisoning in indie stuff, next to no one tries to be sincere now. you may look, act, be like a retard but i will respect being honest about what you're trying to do more than trying to look cool and hip by stomping on old things for not adhering to your current ideology. to me it seems to be a product of millenials who don't want to grow up from being teenagers, and the zoomers they've groomed into mini-mes of themselves.

I got Ultrakill a while ago with zero idea about how many faggots were into it. I thought it was a pretty good homage to classic shoot 'em ups, and I'm a sucker for movement shooters. Then I made the mistake of peeking behind the fandom curtain and was shocked by how depraved they were. If this game had come out maybe even ten years earlier before every autistic nerd decided to start cross dressing and shooting up hormones it might've been spared this reputation.

It's a tragedy that the PS1 era is starting to become associated with chronically online ironycel troons.

I thought it was another studio that did Neon White (Angel Matrix). That said, Neon White's gameplay, art direction, and soundtrack is very good, but yeah I can't stand the voice acting.

I remember Sonic Dreams Collection, and that was an interesting experience. A shame that the VR mode is completely unplayable on modern headsets though, because it uses an ancient version of the Oculus SDK.

I'll stop running their PR department, it's just very fucking confusing seeing these kinds of people (Twitter Degenerates) latch themselves to the game without so much as looking at what they're playing, it's like a parody. I will be looking forward to the day one of these people put's the 2 and 2 together and realises what the game is about, rather than what their perverse mind think's of all day.

Really schizo game but very decent. Marie is a cute waifu and the references are kinda obscure like the her HUD icon being drawn in the Jucika style. The game would be better if they could get Tsoi and Kryzys songs in it.

I guess the kids are alright, guv'nor.

Just as long as they aren't actual kids. Cause they'll repeat the same jokes and get mad when people tell them to fuck off.

Get fucked, not even the hivemind cares.

Do you think they've started to get onto it???

Going on Reddit and searching for the game is really funny not gonna lie.

Praise it all you want over how "le based" it and the devs are, I'm not buying/pirating your goonslop indieshit if your HUD has Shitter-tier coom art that I'd have to stare at for the entire game.

you never know these things until you make the mistake of actually talking to peolpe who also like the thing lol. Something that us old heads of the 2000s also understand where you think to yourself how fun it would be to mingle and share your experience with the thing with other people then reality reminds you that it can be very disappointing. On the surface i didn't even know half the nonsense that went on because it just looked like a cool movement shooter with some neat visuals. Sometimes you ask yourself "why" but then you see who made it and get your answer.

Part of me misses when the process of making a game was just the creator wanting to share their piece of art with you. What came to mind is something like Cave Story which for the longest time people didn't know who the guy was that made it and it mostly didn't matter. Even now there's a little more revealed about who the creator is but he's just a dude who made a cool game and not someone who wants e-fame for making derivative indie games and asskisses from the twitter crowds.

Ironic because that is pretty much what some ultrakill/new blood fans are.
"Game is good because they say trans rights!!!"

I saw Ultrakill on the Steam store and didn't know anything about it. Thanks for making a thread it was very alarming.

I think that anything after Zineth (Sonic Dreams Collection notwithstanding. That's their magnum opus.) was pretty dire.
Every time "hella" is said or they say "eff" instead of "fuck" it just makes me want to kill them
I mean, just look at this garbage:

Perfect example of the worst kind of "ironic" humor.

It was most of the same team members IIRC. See @Hardline Traditionalist 's post (Ps. Perfect Stride was technically their first game but it never actually came out.)
