velvet clouds

velvet clouds is yet another construction kit template copy+paste from serial Russian shovelware pushers, Piece Of Voxel. These guys (or just one guy flipping accounts to mislead gamers) do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into DailyIndieGame bundles as cash grabs. Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates, assets... at best, this is shovelware, at worst, it's a scam/cash grab. This one is complete trash... it's a minimalist pixel action game where you move around collecting pixel blobs while avoiding pixel blobs. This goes onto more traditional 2D levels slapped together with some truly hideous MS-Paint "art". At this stage the Russian asset flipping industry is really just having a joke to see what they can crap onto Steam and sell. The game seems to be rendered at 320x200 resolution... it just looks like garbage the 1980's rejected. There's zero game depth here, this barely qualifies as a game. But what should we expect from Russian asset flippers? Danicy/Piece Of Voxel have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1547820]Top Truck Driver[/url]" = [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/5820/hill-racing-template-gms1-2]Hill Racing Template[/url] developed by Janko Knez [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1660460]Hoples[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/pixel-adventure-1-155360]Pixel Adventure 1[/url] developed by Pixel Frog [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587940]DuelVox Max Quality[/url]" = [url=https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/western-desert-town]Western Desert Town[/url] developed by KK Design [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the Construct 2/Construct 3 game engine/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur developers as it doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities (it's worse than GameMaker Studio!). Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. The very poor quality of this game puts it squarely on-par with ancient 1990's Flash/Java games, and given it's 2022 (and this was released not so far back in 2021), gamers and the industry expect and deserve better than this kind of low effort shovelware. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game only ever reached a peak player count of only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is remarkable, but also to be expected. This complete and utter rejection of the game from gamers should be a keen information point for anyone considering buying shovelware like this. Gamers just didn't take this seriously, and for good reason. It's also important to note the "developer" here has connections to a number of shady Russian asset flippers and review manipulators who show an organised pattern to scam and defraud gamers with fake reviews and asset flipping the work of others for profit. While reviews are about the games, gamers should be informed when developers act unethically. Whether these connections are the same developer using multiple accounts, or just working closely with other unethical developers, gamers should be warned about the harm to gamers by this developer and their associates. Buying games from unethical developers puts your money at risk. velvet clouds has the total ripoff price of $10 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.

One of the weirdest short games I've played in a while. Worth a buck for the: 1) Infuriating enemies 2) Very disturbing indie content (in my opinion) 3) Weirdness. It's just weird. 4) The dev introducing you to epic videos on the internet (egg-eating foxes, nice!) What a strange game. But I certainly enjoyed it. (velvet clouds 2 featuring james, martin, shopkeep dude and plant girl when?)

Интересный и необычный проект. Очень рад, что наткнулся на него на окраинах Стима. Хочу сказать разработчику спасибо за его труд и пожелать удачи в будущих начинаниях.

Концепт игры довольно интересный, но для сама игра проходится где-то за час (если не умирать по 50 раз на локации) и из-за того, что по сюжету игра была сломана, она выходит однообразной (всего 2 нормальных этапа (в одном из которых и происходит большая часть игры) и буквально огрызок третьего, а также короткий финальный уровень) Стоит ли это 260 рублей? думаю, нет, лучше покупать на распродаж (на неё бывают хорошие скидки). обнадёжило ли меня то, что тут нету сохранения прогресса? от части (у меня игра вылетела в конце, когда я хотел получить другую концовку). Лично мне было бы интересно увидеть "полную" версию этой игры, как она выглядела до сюжетной поломки.

好玩
