Is the english patch for Chu teng out yet?

I have nothing to really contribute, but I do want to know more games

>>4794317
LSD dream simulator is the most well known one

Garage: Bad dream is real cool and they actually found and ripped a copy a couple years back, though it'll never get translated to english
Bad day on the midway is neat

I found this rpg made in like 2001 by some guy on his website called Project Cerebus that was this weird M&M6 style rpg in a modern setting with weird ass somewhat ps1 styled graphics. Never really played it though

Problem: those games aren't fun

point-and-click adventure called Obsidian

>>4795571
you're fun.

What's it about?

Iblard: Laputa no Kaeru Machi is almost like a "good trip" version of LSD. I had a lot of fun playing it recently, and then checking out Naohisa Inoue's art.

>>4796825
Is this related to Iblard Jikan?

>>4797461
Both are based on the same artist's work so yes. Didn't actually know of Iblard Jikan, it just being animated versions of some of the artwork doesn't make it sound as appealing as exploring it in 3d.

There's this adventure game about a forest and it's all shitty early CG. It had a talking tree. Meant for kids but it's hella weird. I forgot the name.

Things I think it has but could be wrong: I think it was a European game (possibly French?) and had 2D animation at times.

This thread reminds me of the time I went to the trouble of installing a Japanese version of Windows 98 to play Garage. I don't know jap so needlessly to say I didn't get far.

>obscure weird games like eastern mind
So shitty point and click shit that hipsters love because so quirky lol xd? Director was more cancerous than RPG Maker.

>>4794341
>it'll never get translated to english
You mean the nearly complete translation will never be finished or released

>>4801689
I love Macromedia Director games.
Bring back HyperCard nigga.

>>4801689
I like eastern mind though, I had fun. Sure there were some shitty parts like navigating the candle world or assembling the sword at the end, but for the most part I had fun exploring the world and solving puzzles

Also you got a link for that garage translation?

Vangers are strange, but are they obscure?

>>4796825
Can I play it without knowing Japanese?

Also, anymore atmospheric games like this?

>>4794307
YES

>>4800506
TLOZ: Ocarina Of Time

Being able to make what are effectively HTML0.5 games in the 80's isn't a bad thing. Enabling a person with no skill in coding, game design, graphic design, or anything else to shit out a game results in a lot of cancer.

>>4802297
If you look hard enough you'll find people who enjoy anything.

>will never be finished or released

>>4803278
holy shit, where?

>>4803278
don't play with my heart anon

>>4803472
There will always be cancer, but allowing more cancer allows more diamonds in the rough.
The same argument could have been made for Flash.

>>4803740
That's not how cancer works. It spreads and overwhelms the good stuff. Flash had it's downsides and limitations but at the end of the day it was a good platform for the time. Director was somehow monopolized by cancerous point and click shit with horrible design. I'm not even sure why/how that happened but it did. Also, your "diamonds in the rough" is perfect, even though you don't understand why. Diamonds in the rough are rocks spewed out of the earth that are neither pretty or useful until a great deal of skilled work and technology is applied. Most Director games are exactly that. Ugly shit that would only ever have potential if given to a skilled person to make useful.

>>4803837
Director was mainly built for multimedia applications. Combining video, images and text in an interactive manner. The main market was presentations, kiosks, educational software. Point and Click games like The Dark Eye and Bad Day on the Midway are great examples of this format being used to make a game. These games are heavily scripted and deep, I wouldn't say they were made by people with no skill in coding, game design or graphic design. It merely sped up the process, rather than writing a graphics engine and scripting language from scratch.
If the tool hadn't existed they may not have had a platform to create such an experience so easily.
Now, if you think something is cancerous purely on the basis of it being 'point and click' then this isn't even a rational discussion and is a waste of time.

>>4803863
I'm usually careful to qualify my statements enough to make any cherry picking arguments invalid and see that I've done that here so there's no answer I can give that doesn't involve the words comprehension and reading. Not necessarily in that order. It's possible to use a tool for many different things, some of them good, some of them bad. For example, a toilet seat is generally considered a good thing and rarely poses a choking hazard. Director is the opposite of that.

This is Ga-show. Say something nice about him

>Bad day on the midway
>Had The Residents involved in its making
Now I need to check this out. Thanks anon.

Now I also remembered that I need to finish Cosmology of Kyoto one day.

>>4805230
Check out The Dark Eye too, it's narrated by William S Burroughs

>>4803573
It's not complete yet, but it's very near finishing, I recently started playing it. Check out the Osamu Sato reddit to find it

Competitive grilling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The game was also sponsored by a japanese BBQ chain and had a sequel on the PS2.

Speaking of eastern mind, I've finally gotten around to playing Chu Teng, it's interesting so far but I think I still prefer Eastern Mind.

Does anyone know how to win the genie gourd fight? I keep on getting my ass kicked, I don't know if I'm not clicking fast enough or what, am I missing a item?

Also how the fuck do you keep the Starfire long enough to bring it to those candles? Every time I go it gets burnt out before I can make it, and the candle "Doesn't burn bright enough"

>>4806815

You need to hold down the mouse button so youre running. And you should use a computer slowdown app like MHS because it emulates too fast to take in the inputs

>Eastern mind
>Fun
See, there's your problem

>>4803293

>Playing Chu-Teng
>Man-jew song starts playing
what

>use a computer slowdown app like MHS
Sorry for being an idiot, but what is MHS?

I just started playing Noctis IV. This is the first interesting planet I found.

I heard that some of the planets have animals living on them. Anyone here ever encountered that?
