Vinny - Mohrta ~ Demo

[@A_vamp_flower]

vinny has the hability to grab an game of obscurity and add it to my wishlist with an 80% chance of success

[@wabajabatrektoe]

Vinny i fucking love you for always showcasing these indie dungeon crawler games. They trigger so much dopamine for me

[@Dr.Strangelewd]

Combination of straw hats and desert locales always makes me think of Kenshi.

[@worldscoolestperson7672]

If it weren’t for the funky enemy movement you’d never know this is DOOM.

[@Honeyguts88]

The zig zag

[@ImNotFine44]

And the options menu. I’d recognise that anywhere

[@opalpersonal]

not to be the "um actually" guy, but i'm gonna be the "um actually" guy- the name of the game Felvidek comes from the actual Hungarian word Felvidék, which about translates to "Upper Hungary" or literally just "Upland". So medieval peasants, in Hungary, would probably at least know that word. i say this not to be annoying, but to learn ya's some things in this here comment section. i found it interesting at least. also, this game is totally dripping with character. i'm so in love with the set pieces an the world already. masterful work and i'll likely be interested in its future development.

[@nepdisc3722]

most every name that seems totally made up is actually based on something meaningful if you dig deep enough, but be careful not to dig TOO deep or you'll become existential about the meaning of language entirely

[@opalpersonal]

@ someone should make a study about this sort of stuff, they can call it... ling.. lingo... languology :PPP

[@HellfireComms]

I think I get what you mean about the visual aesthetic, Vinny. It's controlled pixel jank. That's why it looks nice and wonky at the same time.

[@lethauntic]

I think in Iron Pineapple's video the Lantern Beast would fly around instead of just showing up on the screen for a second. It looked janky, but I kinda liked how it was before. But I love the healing doll animation; it lives rent free in my head

[@Bluerage98]

We like the strange and big naturals here

[@BrymalDX]

Johnny! Bring that thumbnail back! You coward!

[@Scufflegrit]

I kinda like how the lantern beast doesn’t work right consistently. It’s like a grumpy old pet bird.

Shoutouts to Scumhead

[@Notreallysureactually]

Spent a couple seconds wondering when they made a Mothra game when the notification popped up, lol.

[@Geferulf_TAS]

A Mothra budget title could be sick ngl

[@CwazyWabbit4]

The setting is delightfully alien. Love the weird birds and the giraffe cows

[@Shadokiller101]

My friend from college did the art in this game.

[@SixCubitMan]

wasn't the end of the demo btw, vinny got stuck on a puzzle that he was supposed to solve with his new trench gun. he was a little under halfway through it. also, having completed the demo i think the reason you don't get another gun for so long is that the bandit level is the only one you can't revisit. so if you missed a gun on the ground you could never get it again. after that intro level, every boss you fight gives you a new gun to play with.

[@augsit803]

12:24 - "Wait is that a cow?" "Hu-hu-hu, HU-hu--HU--HU, it's a giraffe!"

[@Snubbybill]

Getting to the Metronexus made me immediately Wishlist this game on Steam, just immaculate vibes.

[@NoelJoyeux8]

Gotta love how vin ignores half the signposts in the tutorial, ESPECIALLY the one explaining the checkpoints, then ignores it every time he sees a checkpoint afterwards

[@DuoArtist37]

The game definitely has potential in terms of the designs and world alone. Reminds me a lot of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal and I like the story and concepts this game has. Although an almost full hour stuck with a basic sword and peashooter is definitely not a good first impression. Still this game looks pretty fun and hopefully the pacing issues can be fixed in time before the full release of the game. Thanks for another great pre-recorded video Vinny!

[@mariavasilenko9863]

Ohhh I thought about the Dark Crystal too! This and Vampire Hunter Di with this slight steampunk western vibe.

[@TheCongressman1]

Idk I went in expecting a slower paced game not doom, so I had a blast.

[@sh0gun___]

Agreed. The environments and characters are very pretty but it definitely seems to prioritizing aesthetics over substance at the moment. It's one thing to be "slow paced", but an entire demo where there's almost no variation in that pacing or the featured mechanics leaves a lot to be desired. I'll wait for the full release before casting any more judgement, I'm sure there's much more planned.

[@Pepman256]

It seems to be taking an exact opposite approach to Scumhead's previous FPS Metroidvania, Vomitoreum. That game suffered from being too much too quick, where abilities were given out in such abundance you usually only used them in one or two spots before they were forgotten about.

[@DolusVulpes]

​@@TheCongressman1 even slower paced action games still tend to give you weapons a bit faster than this, with Dark Souls (which the game was clearly inspired by) being a prime example.

[@Surkk2960]

I was not expecting a *zombie automaton knight with a pet bird and doll* to fight a *warrior furry girl* today... but here we are. Jokes aside, this game is very strange, but in a cool original way. Kinda wish more games kind of did what they wanted with their worlds like this one.

[@SpaceSkeletonDragon]

I hope you enjoyed your piece of strange ore.

[@phantomtollbooth]

Ahh another Mortol sequel, excellent!

[@RoninCatholic]

I love how your starting sword is named The Bastard. It's not just a bastard sword, it is The Bastard.

[@_Cetarial]

Oh hey, it’s that game Iron Pineapple played.

The healing doll is so cute

That noise is a Loon, Vinny

[@Corndog52]

reek and mohrta

[@lambdachi107-gamingandmusi2]

I played this demo during Next Fest, and seeing Vinny release his gameplay of it now sure was a surprise, to say the least. You can clearly see the King's Field influences in the aesthetic here.

[@CABROWN]

I loved this devs previous Metroid Prime like

[@samsammich8465]

I think Vinny wouldn't have had to wait so long for that shotgun if he didn't always insist on navigating through levels via bouncing ball movement.

[@dasmause5682]

Mohrta, featuring Bangboo from the Zenless Zone Zero series

[@ghostmutton]

I love this game's creativity.

[@tehloling1]

I would die for that little healing doll.

[@funkness]

i love the healing doll sound

[@Snubbybill]

Has Vinny played The Big Catch: Tacklebox? Its a 3D platformer demo (but really a free standalone prequel) made by the Yo! Noid 2 developers. It's really great.

[@Critical_Hit]

I suggested this to him a few times, he has yet to play it I think

[@Day100]

Ron Ipineapple was absolutely right on his review of this. The game just needs some love put into the combat

[@SolOfRev]

MOHRTIS

[@SamLovesMovies25]

NPC: Talking about the level warps and points out which world to go to next. Vinny: DOESN'T READ, and then gets confused about how to get into the next level, lol...

[@stevethepocket]

Oh hey, it's the game Iron Pineapple just played. Fun fact: originally the lantern creature was an actual NPC that follows you around. You can see footage of it in his video.

[@nickniknick]

If you liked this i highly recommend Dread delusion! Very similar Aesthetic but Dread delusion is more about exploration and figuring things out it a extremely weirdly interesting open world, a lot of people compare it to Oblivion, i think you would enjoy it. Thanks for sharing this one though! right up my alley im gonna check it out!

[@RougeMephilesClone]

This game was already on my wishlist, and I've been waiting for a content creator I know to play it. Somebody else mentioned that Iron Pineapple already did, but I'm way behind in that video series.

[@Nefere95]

oh that's funny, I literally just watched a video about the Van Meter Visitor, and then this, and the lantern beast immediately made me think of it - the bat-bird like appearance, horn, and ability to emit light. I wonder if that's what inspired it!

[@scarecrow8515]

Not to be "that guy" but the game does have a decent amount of collectables in the form of the purple upgrade ore. The first level has enough to upgrade your weapon and health at least once each. The second level has even more and introduces health upgrades. Vinny was just bunny-hopping through the levels like Quake and missing all the side paths and treasure chests. If anybody else plays the demo I'd highly recommend taking it at a slower pace and really exploring everything, it'll be both worth your while and also lead to a more satisfying experience.

[@MidnaOfficial]

personally i don't think there's any game that wouldn't be improved by a dark fantasy western medieval biopunk setting with heavy amounts of mysterious patchwork lore. or a lantern beast.

[@MidnaOfficial]

or an estus fumo

[@Americanbadashh]

This is made in GZDoom, right?

[@Apollo9898LP]

Visually stunning game, great art direction, but I feel like other areas could use some work for sure. Could do with more weapon variety, movement options, and honestly the levels feel a bit too big imo. There's a lot of fat that could be cut. But looks really promising as a demo!

[@Ashurman666]

Man, this really is the golden year for Boomer Shooters

[@codybrady6940]

Tbh i dont think the weapon "issue" is actually an issue. 40 mins. is nothing, especially given this isnt a traditional boomie shootie. Seems to be an action adventure game with boomie shootie mechanics. Then theres the bit I just read about the first level being the only one you cant revisit. Game looks incredible. I love weird, alien worlds in gaming like this, Dread Delusion, Morrowind etc. If anyone has recs for similar stuff lemme know lol

[@TheNerdHerd1000]

As soon as that little girl devil thing jumped out of the smithy-suit i realized it was going to be one of those games. Hope the desire to make sexy wolves doesn't drag what seems like a promising atmosphere.

[@Nyanra]

Fumo

[@TheCongressman1]

Poor vin, "there's no checkpoint that I can tell" walks right past a checkpoint. That one is just sitting in the dark corner though, so I'm not surprised. Also sword is good, you just have to remember to dodge, and the right click is ranged. Fair criticisms overall, mostly agree on what could be improved, I just thought it was weird how judgemental you got about the furry character.

[@aurens.]

it's interesting how bad graphics can be good actually, but bad sound and bad animations are just bad

[@Zangelin]

no, bad graphics can not be good. Low poly and low rez does not equsl bad graphics.

[@nytrodioxide]

I'm gonna be a bit of a hater, ngl. This is an elaborately designed excuse for the dev to show off their epic original fursonas, donut steel. The style of the game itself is cool and technically competent on a visual level, but there's no actual unique gameplay beyond those cool visuals. The sound design leaves a lot to be desired amongst other things. I'd go far enough to say that while the mixture of ideas is superficially unique on first glance, it's really just: Doom engine, Morrowind, Star Wars, and some random furry/anime shit tossed in. The writing is awful. It's trying to be weird and standalone with its worldbuilding and lore, but it all honestly just feels like a more steampunk Morrowind, but instead of there being dark elves, it's all Khajiit and silt striders if silt striders were anthropomorphized. Everything about the 'Strange' is super vague and nothing is made clear, it expects you to dig deep and read everything when it's just kind of a big nothing burger of edge and 'omg sexy dog girl!!!!' at the end. The aesthetic is uneven and kind of just all over the place. Honestly, a lot of it feels like straight up terminally online gooner bait. Vinny commenting on the 'anime girl' doll was only one of the first signs of this, but in a less than an hour long demo, there was that tiger character (that was literally just a talking animal) calling the player character 'prey' which ofc alludes to vore, then the final 'boss' which was, again, just an anthro dog girl with midriff. Everything else aside, this game just overall feels made by someone who watches too much anime. All of the cutscenes are just generic anime slop type 'intense/cinematic' angled shots, there's no real established lore or anything beyond little tiddlywinks of 'weird lol haha funny' stuff amongst several clickthroughs of single-sentence dialogue to go through. It's just a lot of randomly thrown together things that the dev likes slapped together into a semi-cohesive, janky, generic FPS gaming experience. Idk, again it's technically competent and superficially unique but that's the most I can give this game.

[@selectionn]

careful, the comment section will tear you to shreds for uttering a single word of negativity about a game they like. its more dogshit indie slop, undoubtedly. I really wonder how we got to the point of there being just SO many low quality indie games. I dont wanna be that guy, but... I think videogames may have gotten too easy to make. Its letting anyone who has an idea make a videogame, when some ideas just arent good and these people dont understand basic game design philosophy, and the result is a game just not being very good. But these kinds of games get a pass and defended to the death, because it has a smidge of decent art in it, and the list of positives for the game ends there.

[@LuigiXHero]

@@selectionn There's always been hundreds of games coming out and most of them are slop, people just remember the good ones. No one talks about Primal on the PS2, or Ninja Smasher! on the 3DS, and why would they? There's nothing wrong with games being easy to make because it just means people can get into it and get good at it eventually. Kaze's first SM64 hack was complete dumpster fire. Fromsoft's games before dark souls were pretty mid. A lot of the famous older devs nowadays started because c64 was super easy to make games for.

[@aurens.]

@@selectionn the only thing more boring than this game is the kind of human mind that could produce a thought like "games being easier to make is a bad thing actually"
