I believe there has a been a mistake. This is the thread for terrible, awful games. However, the reviews for Noelle Does Her Best! are very positive.

I think we can all do better than just posting yet another steam porn game

Granted, some of these things are less explicitly terrible and more just so weird that I don't have much faith in their quality. Take, for instance, Zadel Princess, which appears to be an rpg about fighting monsters through answering random trivia questions.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1893330/Zadel_Princess/

quote:

ABOUT THIS GAME
Vilnore's beautiful and peaceful castle suddenly encountered disaster one day, attacked and destroyed by an evil witch. The people in the castle were massacred, King Alex and Princess Zadel were arrested, life and death unknown. Many allies of the castle as well as heroes tried to enter Vilnore castle to rescue the king and princess, but they all went away without return.
Play as an unnamed brave man, alone entering Vilnore castle to rescue King Alex and Princess Zadel.

Key Features
- A fine combination between Classic JRPG and quiz game;
- Team building;
- Turn-based combat;
- Good music included!

Explore the castle of Vilnore - the place that now invaded by monsters and where the beautiful princess Zadel is being held by an evil witch. Crawling through the dark dungeon, finding and collecting rare equipment items and ecruiting unique teammates, build the best squad.

And then the game itself looks like this.



Or another title, Kati The Astronaut which is something I feel like I need to actually play because of just how odd it feels. To me, it looks like if an alien who has never heard of video games was tasked with looking at a couple and then making their own, then they might make this.


https://store.steampowered.com/app/2099180/Kati_The_Astronaut/

quote:

ABOUT THIS GAME
Help Kati the Astronaut save the universes!

Join Kati in this highly engaging 2.5D adventure game that has keyboard and game controller support.

If you enjoy adventure, mystery, the Sci-Fi genre, and 80s style music, get ready for the PLANETARY EXPERIENCE of a LIFETIME.

Kati explores the unexplored depths of space to find the dangerous creatures that are invading her planet.



Along the way she encounters encouraging friends...



As well as potential adversaries...

We hope to see you there!

I beg you, please watch the trailer for this game. I am absolutely floored by the apparent design choice to just place dialogue boxes as part of the background instead of having actual dialogue boxes pop up.

I don't know why they bother with the off-Steam nude patch. You can just sell porn on Steam now.

Having the "adults only" tag on a game hurts discoverability a lot. You'd think there wouldn't be a lot of people who browse Steam with porn turned off and then turn around and buy a bunch of deporned porn games, but evidently, there are enough to be a significant market segment.

Ok, that trailer was something. But you know what the saddest thing about it is? That the author of this abomination still had more self discipline than me in his free-time game development effort, and actually completed and released something, no matter how janky it is. Kati the Astronaut is my secret personal shame. :negative:

They have another game up on steam too called Hoverkitty: Hoververse

https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256877994/movie480_vp9.webm

Its videos are also a thing to behold. Very reminiscent of nightmares.

Furthermore, when I went looking up what the other Hoverkitty games are (since they are not on steam but are mentioned in the first hoverkitty video), I ended up finding a trailer for a mobile game called Endless Hoverkitty Into The Cave.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oshvk0nXFqU

Additionally, that's the official youtube channel for the developer and a lot of their videos seem to be documentation of or tutorials for how to make unity games.

I'm not even mad. I'm impressed. I wish I had anywhere near the drive, willpower, energy, and persistence to even make a thing. My brain fatigue sets in so quickly when I try to learn how to code, so quickly I end up just passing out as my brain shuts down, and she's over there just making vids about her game dev process to act as tutorials and guides for other people. Good on her.

Yup, fair play... No just one game, an entire series...

One day I'll actually keep working on a project instead of getting bored and starting something new. One day, my very own creation will hopefully grace the hallowed pages of this thread and I'll be able to die peacefully knowing my life has been a success...

I'd be tempted to go with Hoverkitty: Stuck in a Wall, but I'd be at the mercy of an IP theft lawsuit...

So, does this game have any trivia questions that are not about cartoons?

probably not but im curious if the questions are randomly pulled from a list or if the dev hand-crafted progressively harder encounters throughout the game by picking more and more obscure animes to reference

like your first fight is probably something like "what series has goku in it" and the endgame is full of questions from some lovely manga that only sold 10 copies back in the 1970s

"Adults only" games are just completely banned on the German Steam store because Valve refuses to do an age verification system that's more than "How old are you? Be honest *wink*" (half of the links in this thread are just "not available in this region").
De-porned porn games are not.

I'm surprised if the same isn't the case for UK, considering the anti-porn crusade they've been on the past ~10 years.

Although, the few reviews that are up say it's just broken on release, so maybe it is awful after all.

A 2D fighter with a skeleton that drags you to a ring out from midscreen is certainly a choice. Honestly it just looks like the video game equivalent of a wacky gamer t-shirt.

I'd be all over that, weird typing games need to become more of a thing.

The way I'd do it is that there would be a list of moves on screen and you would have to type each one out in order to perform them, the names of the moves would change to something else after you typed them out and if they are extra long or complex then they become more effective.

I'm sure everyone here has played PARKET and wished there was more of the world famous hardcore 3d platformer. Well, fear not, because PARKET: EVOLUTION is finally here:



You can once again (I presume) play as The Stig from Top Gear in a 3d environment that will amaze your senses:



Practice your climbing skills on palette swap mountain peaks:



Then hit the slopes on the way down:



And work on some of the many Steam Achievements (achievement names are my own guesses):

inherited the king's crown
:psyduck:
found the giant shopping trolley


If you had any doubts, the (currently 3) reviews will dispel them:

PARKET Evolution is a great and addicting game.
