[zarqupang]

well for me art is art take a painting of to day and then us ai to copy said painting then put them side by side my have some diffrents but still art even pixles art a form of art. i have seen darkest dungen art there are sims in the art to me

 

[MoontoGround]

Is it just me or is this game a grindfest with no gallery? I am getting bodied in level 1 dungeons by the 3rd room no matter what items I have or party members... I'm not sure how to actually progress because leaving the dungeon ends with no experience gain so my only option is to rely on RNG to give me rooms with resources in them and then buy levels from the brothel. Am I just bad? Is there a trick I am missing?

 

[dexxinax]

think game needs to tone down enemy attack damage by 3rd room your in. your suffer total party wipe. even if take healer win 1 dungeon next 1 get wiped by random other so called enemy team that sh8 stomps you.. & got back to level 1 character lose all companions in the level 1 dungeons.. 100% this need some balance tuning.

give it up for the least creative game in f95zone, ladies and gents!

1) Ok, so... there's no rank / movement / placement mechanic.


The entire point of DD's placement system is so that various mechanics only work in slot #1,2,3,4 etc. Here the entire enemy section can just focus down rank #3 mages etc at will.

This game manages to have a MP system attached so that by battle #2 none of your skills work. Potions? Apparently I have some, can't use them out of combat however.

Noticed those three things in the first battle and went to look for rewievs because - why would you make a DD clone and remove core aspects of the game and add the worst parts of RPG combat (MP and potions).

wasn't there a real Darkest dungeon adult game?

EDIT: Yep, got abandoned: https://thef95zone.info/threads/jessikas-curse-v1-9-13-venus-noire-jc.16905/

but...jessika's curse looks nothing like this or darkest dungeon?

 

[sweetit]

Man, the concept is dope but curse AI for making everything look same and bland

Scum-tag: where no "Female Protagonist" in this game

 

[aviandmg]

YES! I've been waiting for something like this since the first time I played DD

 

[Nobles]

Can you corrupt your own party If corrupting them makes them stronger/enchanced powers. Powers of the dark side yay! or is it surviving the dungoen as pure as possible like the screenshots suggest ? Pron happens when you loose ?

 

[jonbox]

even a complete novice of an artist is capable of creating images more appealing than AI-generated slop

This is where you are wrong. Or rather, this is complete bullshit.

 

[KilljoyTRV]

This game is stupid. I want to like it, but it fucks you over so fucking hard. Instead of keeping your level, you lose it instead of your items. This mean that when you lose your first paid team, you're stuck with freebies and your own level 1 person so you will ALWAYS lose the next dungeon. Fuck this shit.

Looks beautiful. This has potential.

This is where you are wrong. Or rather, this is complete bullshit.

If u check Ero Dungeon, the artstyle is really simple, it's not high art or really good. People like it.

But if u want a proper critic of AI, Ai is a tool, could be good and well used. The same way Renpy is a tool to help people less good with dev stuff to handle that part.
But even if u use Renpy, rpgm or anything like that, u still need to work, AI is just "use prompt, put example, select image u like repeat".
Zero effort needed, but good, a tool that work so well that make zero effort needed!
Sadly when zero effort is needed for the art, u expect that all the effort the dev should have put to creating art, will be put somewhere else.
The dev mostly used ai for art, Darkest dungeon for the gameplay, renpy for some dev work (still need good effort to make a game like this in renpy it's not really what renpy usually do, so i recognise the effort of the dev here).
So if so many part of the game didnt ask for any effort of the dev, why the other part are not super nicely polished and good?
Balance is terrible and the writing is not that great.
The biggest problem is not AI, the tool is "fine" (depend taste honestly the art is really boring for me after so many) but people use the tool and don't do great on the side.

(sorry if my english is bad)
The game isn't my style, but I find you harsh on the developer.

- What he's managed to achieve with the Ren'py engine is impressive.

- Sure, the AI is much faster than drawing, but it's not easy. There's still work behind it. Only those who've never worked on Comfy would think it's easy mode and that it only takes a few minutes.
With good artistic vision and manual editing, you can achieve great things with AI.

Yo, can we get the Female/Multiple Protagonist tags off of there please to not waste other people's time? Thanks.

 

[nb8]

The constructive part is this: even a complete novice of an artist is capable of creating images more appealing than AI-generated slop.

none of the newbie artists can draw like AI, unless he is a genius who is 1 in a billion. I will say more, 99% of "artists" draw as if with their ass instead of hands, and AI draws much better than most of them.

Game has a lot of potential, I really like the arts and we can go even far with those...that being said, the game need a strong balance, enemies are too strong even in the early dungeons, if you die there's no sense to continue, it has more sense to restart a new game instead...I also noticed a bug where when you get a potion from the shop or by drop of an enemy it's seams you don't have any in the bag. The only way to survive is at least find the boss room in the 4th room, and beg u hit the enemies. In my opinion, less DMG from enemies, at least at the beginning dungeons, and less cost in mana of abilities from allies. Then maybe less enemy encounter in the dungeon, there was 1 that I find at least 5 enemies in 5 rooms adjacents!...I hope developer change something because I repeat this game is really promising!!

 

[darkforgestudios]

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback.

Just launched a small balance patch update where I've toned down the damage of the enemies overall making it smoother to progress and get the good gear.

You can now download v.0.1.1 on the main page.
