Shovel Knight Body Swap

Why waste precious development time on an useless feature that appeals only to people that will never play your game to begin with? What exactly was Yatch Club games trying to achieve here?

But it appeals to me and I play it

post sprite comparisons

playing as a female is the best choice every time.

>Dumb shit that takes 3 minutes to program is a BIG offense OMG


At this point you're actually worse than SJWs since you're supposed to be the reasonable group instead of a sensitive lady. We don't expect much of brainwashed college retards, but in your case it's just embarrassing

>le ignoring the fact it was a stretch goal

ebin user! upvoted :^)

because this is the 3rd crowdfunded game in the history of spacetime that gives half a shit about meeting its stretch goals

dumb baitposter

i wonder (((who))) is behind this

>3 minutes
Yes, because creating new sprites, art for every character and editing hundreds of text just takes 3 minutes

Wasn't it a Kickstarter goal? They're pretty much obligated to do it, if so.

Stretch goals or not

SJW false equivalencies or not

I clearly asked: "...an useless feature that appeals only to people that will never play your game to begin with?". It just doesn't make sense.

It also appeals to me and I play it
crybaby

>bodyswap
>make them all girls

Just like my Taiwanese coloring books

>you're supposed to be the reasonable group
>Sup Forums

Did you expect an academic essay on why yacht club is shit? Fuck off.

It appeals to me, and I play the game. Same goes for many others on Sup Forums. So your question was flawed to begin with.

>inb4 you move goalposts again.

You don't play the game.

>appeals only to people that will never play your game to begin with
Girl Treasure Knight and Plague Knight appeal to my dick so you can fuck right off buddy.

>an useless

it appealed to the people who funded it

the proof of this is that they said "hey, what about this?". The response was that they received money

a thread died for this

Because it was in the kickstarter goals youdummy

Because it was one of their promised kickstarter goals? God forbid a developer following their promises

>Ability to play as a trap

I don't see nothing wrong desu

I've probably played it more than you.

Are any swapped versions of knights at all attractive? Asking for science.

>Try to think some funny stretch goal as the money keeps raining onto you
>Eh genderswap mode might be fun?
>REE SJW IN MY GAME EVERYTHING IS A SJW MATTER REE REE.
That last one was you op.

>Stretch goals or not
What do you mean "or not"
It's what people paid for. They knew what they were getting into, and if they felt it was a waste of money then they wouldn't have backed it.

You're not the OP, stop pretending to be me, you cunt

>more game where I can play as a woman

Not all of them, Shield Knight and Enchantress are guys now

Less retarded talking point: Is this company going to ever do anything else or can we look forward to 2020's release of Shovel Knight 2: The Shoveling?

Plague Knight's a qt.

>hey wouldn't it be cool if you can play as a female shovel knight
>hey, yeah! we should add that!
it's not always pandering you falseflagging cynic

SJWs hate gender swaps because they think it's sexist. This kind of thing actually appeals to deviants that want to see the mostly male cast as cute girls. Only the name change is an appeal to SJWs and that's just to keep them from complaining about it.

The gender swap was good, the "choose your pronoun" bullshit isn't.

Some SJW was actually upset about this because the only pronouns available was him and her. None of the xe,xir,they,them bullshit.

Who gives a shit? They are not real people. THEY ARE FICTIONAL.

You can individuallly choose. So everyone can be girls

Why isn't it good

>complaining about more options
>not wanting cute traps

you are every wrong with Sup Forums. If that was your last post ever on Sup Forums, it would improve the state of the board. I am 100% serious when I say this,

But now I can use a design I prefer while still keeping the character the gender I want

Who cares more porn
Complain about the "pronouns" shit instead.

>Why waste precious development time on an useless feature that appeals only to people that will never play your game to begin with?

Because they're finished with the base game you retard.

At this point they can do whatever they want cause they're done.

>Being a faggot
>Good

Behavior like that shouldn't be encouraged

body swap doesnt bother me
it bothers me when its SJWs censoring free speech or using their narrative to shove their delusional social agenda down my throat

just look at how much the quality of naughty dog games have failed since they went full SJW
or look at bioware and their blatant pandering lecturing the player about "gender pronouns" with npc dialog

like, fucking make a better game first

It's harmless

Stop posting. You are not wanted here.

>an useless

Fuck off faggot, you're not wanted in the society you live in.

>Behavior like that shouldn't be encouraged
Why not?

...

They're still making King Knight campaign. Then battle mode. Spectre Knight and plague Knight are already out.

>getting this mad somebody told you get off your video game board for having shit opinions

get therapy, user.

And that's why it's not a gender swap, it's a body swap. Even if none of the characters exchange bodies and it actually is just a sex change, it actually tells them it's the body that's being altered with no gender politics involved aside from making the new dialogue a separate toggle.

...

>someone got angry
woah

Then don't fucking participate. It's their game, because they want to give people the choice is all the reason they need

>Can make the entire game about pretty waifus fighting each other

>a bad thing

>Why waste precious development time on an useless feature that appeals only to people that will never play your game to begin with?
>implying that porn artists don't play games

It isn't natural.

Is the Specter Knight campaign out on anything but the Switch yet or what?

neither is being a worthless faggot whining about video games on a Korean go-karting board, yet here we are.

its out on everything

>it's out on everything

*in Japan

yachtclubgames.com/2017/03/specter-of-torment-release-info/

What is going on in this internet photograph you have shown me?

Mate, it's out everywhere.

the fuck?
The only thing it might not be out on yet is the 3ds.

Not on my machine.

if its just a sprite swap, it requires:
1. artist hours, and any QC checks if they do those on their small team
2. depending on the game setup, it could require anywhere from five minutes of developer time (literally swap resource call according to option var) to a few hours if they built it poorly the first time (building framework for it in developer's own engine to allow sprite data remapping, because method of assembling player object is distinct from enemy object and doesn't have a sprite sheet variable or etc)
3. 1-5 hours max of editing the GUI, if one of the GUI screens needs to be adjusted heavily; 5 minutes if there was room and the GUI scales easily
4. Pushing the build to all platforms

not a big deal overall, and the only significant time investment is the artist hours, and that affects nothing because
>artist
>important to timeline of production

if their artist is tip top, he can probably grind out a sprite sheet for new characters in under a week easy, maybe even in 1 day per character if he's pro
if their artist sucks, well, they should hire someone else because its pixels and the character design for them was already finished, they just need new actions so there's no excuse for this ever taking over a week

l-lewd

>4. Pushing the build to all platforms
If you want to be technical, one could argue it didn't even need this, being bundled with Specter of Torment, so pushing it out would be applied to that instead.

bumping this epic thread

It's ONLY out on 3ds, switch, and PC.

>an useless

Why would you ruin such an amazing design with such a lazy swap?

Treasure Knight, Propeller Knight, and Queen Knight do things to my dick, everybody else either looks off or straight up terrible.

Half of those designs are kinda shit, but the r63 reize is great if only because it makes that faggot mad.

>I can make the whole game about a guy who wants to save his boyfriend from a league of evil girls

Ah fuck, only in burgerworld

>Plague Girl and everybody else male
Time to collect some fluid.

This appeals to my dick, and I've played 40h of the game and will play more in the future.

Sold.

>editing hundreds of text
it should take absolutely no longer than an hour to change all the hims and he's to hers and she's

The doujins wright themselves.

Shield Knight is still female, yeah?

I dig it.

You can make her into a guy.

It's just a concept, they didn't change any non essentials

Also, Rize looks worse than usual

>not making it a harem by making everyone a girl except for shovel knight

Biased yacht club

>developer consistently meets Kickstarter goals for a change
>the game is actually fun
>Sup Forums still bitches
Never change, Sup Forums

Troupple Queen a qt.

T H I C C

How does that not surprise me, SJWs are impossible to please they will always move the goalposts and find something else to be pissed about.

they should have just made every character a girl, no swapping to male

What KS game purposely didn't try to meet stretch goals?

>NMS failed to meet what is promised
>MN9 failed to meet what is promised

NMS wasn't crowdfunded

>NMS
Wasn't a kickstarter game.
>MN9
Actually did fufill it's stretch goals. On release, even.

I played it on PC 2 weeks ago
