Trailer Crazy

I know we’ve been going crazy with the trailers lately, but what the hey. It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had much time to play. Playable games coming soon!

Let’s start it off with a little cactus. Trailer music by The Death Set.

Dean Dodrill’s Elysian Tail: Dust is an XNA fighting game with some really gorgeous animation. And furries. Currently in alpha state.

Here’s a preview of the next Blurst game, which is coming out next month. Music by Alec Holowka.

Yeah, the furry hate is just utterly surreal. It’s like assuming all sci-fi games have alien sex in them, because Kirk totally did that and all sci-fi is just like Star Trek.

yeah it means you don’t care about the actual game itself and should feel bad

Is it bad that I keep watching the cactus trailer over and over again just to listen to the death set?

But, hey! The game still looks pretty damn nice though.

And hating furries didn’t start on 4chan, but rather on Something Awful, who are probably the earliest example of “exposing” furries and their whole subculture I can think of.

The furry accusations aren’t unfounded though. The guy who made Elysian Tail is indeed a furry and is active in the furry community and even has an article on him on Wikifur.

RELAX KIDS NOBODY WILL THINK YOU’RE A FURRY FOR LIKING A VIDEO GAME IN DEVELOPMENT :D

Elysian Tail looks fantastic, even more so if that guy really is developing it all by himself. Who wouldn’t want to have that kind of skill and dedication?

Maybe some people find talking animals genuinely creepy, or the idea of assuming a persona based on a non-sentient animalian lifeform to the point of wearing a costume thereof creepy.

all three looks cool, especially the 2nd one :o

But of course, metastasized all over the internet, 4chan’s idiocy shines through once again. Raging over talking animals peaked at April Fursday and has been steadily declining in funny ever since, and now it is so past the bearable joke threshold that it is absolutely ridiculous and should really be done with.

That said, Elysian Tail looks really awesome and as long as it won’t have any yiffing going on, I cannot wait!

Elysian Tail is rather reminiscent of Odin Sphere, from the looks of it that is. It looks brilliant.

but Odin Sphere is even more <3

@Robert, I didn’t make it. Blame Cactus.

Dust is smooth but is more of the same japanime. weird animal-people waving big swords and magic powers and scripted attach sequences. this boss has this weak spot. hit, jump back, hit, jump back, repeat. boring.

Air Pirates is multi-layered; it looks like a simple arcade side shooter but it’s actually a metaphor for anal penetration.

Effing A. Air Pirates is looking good, natch. Nice music choice too. As for Dust, those animations are ah-mazing. Crane Wars looks fun too!

Mr Derek Yu that is not a fighting game, that’s a Beat ‘em up! (with furries)

Beat ‘em ups are the best to play with friends.

Yeah that one does look gorgeous.

But then they all do.

Aw shit. Elysian Tail is going to wipe the floor with me if they enter DBP this year. :(

I wonder if those are meticulously animated sprites or cleverly shaded meshes. Can’t quite tell from the video. Looks amazing either way - on par with Odin Sphere, even.

The Dust animations do look great and the combat looks like it flows really nicely. Could be a really cool game.

And Cactus’ graphics just keep getting more rad. I really love the working method he’s developed.

If you get to destroy furries in Dust, then it would be worth it, otherwise… gross.

Does look really good though.
