I used up all my steam money to buy the game
so no gifting it from me
Fire bought it today too
Dunsparce did not (since we officially banned him from vc yesterday for some reason)
It was a garbage decision
but it adds clarity, there are now exactly 2 people banned from vc
Not that it matters since I guess Rusp is going to continue using the games server vc!
NWRD died for this
I mean, all it took was you starting a game dev arc to finally do what I said years ago and just make a different server for NWRD vcs
don't bait alone in vc Rusp
Syren apparently

Cruelty Squad 2 is out
I kickstarted the first one
it was frustratingly mid
I was semi-hopeful that the 2nd one would be better, but I can't get past their art change
and this is coming from a HUGE proponent of AI art's potential, they did it in the worst way possible
they had this huge art budget, an they chose to phone-in the story/character CGs of all things

created using AI
For SRPGs/Fire Emblem games, there's a lot you could phone in if you nail that character art
mechanically, I'm assuming the game is just 1:1 what was in the first game, which was fine, but not anything beyond what I was expecting other than the classes being more fun than vanilla FE

they proclaim no AI art, but if i had to assume why they dumped the budget there its probably because anyone who actually trudged through the game praised the story/characters.
Polar, it's funny you said that, because I was scanning through their Steam page to find the AI section
since those are required now
I'm wondering if their page pre-dated that requirement being added
because their art is AI, 100%, if they want to claim plausible deniability because they contracted it out
then that's even funnier
and ok, even if I say it's not, because I don't really care about the "AI" part of that
they changed the artstyle to something MUCH cheaper, that looks significantly worse
the spritework is 10/10 still
idk, I'm just kind of sad there aren't more indie devs trying for make a real unique SPRG
first game art for reference
^ that's my theory now too
I also think they probably just outsourced it, so they didn't have to care
they did for the 1st game, it was a $2M kicksterter iirc
ok Rusp, check out their publisher
I smell a future partnership
skip to 35 seconds
for the VA
it's much better too
