I want to model these frickers but i can't choose which one do after i finish the bunny.
Post an art of your favorite Tan and the first one to roll a 7 will be next.
Where does the milk meme come from? I can't find any mention of it on kickstarter.
The discord apparently
yeah, the english side of the discord made it a meme after the kickstarter launch video had them playing a game where if they screwed up they had to drink milk
>I can't find any mention of it on kickstarter
wdym? devs literally explain it in the video
Watch the KS video - the devs recreate how they, as kids were inspired to create Patapon and Ratatan as a bunch of young dudes hanging out and playing a drinking game where they had to say the right thing, clap in sequence etc.. and whomever fricked up had to drink. Since they were high schoolers they used milk, which apparently is really fricking rich in japan with more fat then what's called whole milk in the US, so you didn't want to drink a ton of it otherwise you'd feel stuffed.
I just noticed the red tie thing or whatever is supposed to be a frog tongue God i feel so moronic
Wojak and pepe fricking ruined
that's kermit
I wonder how long it will take for people to realize that this isn't emo hair, but a bandage over the eye since that fits the style with the rest of the Tans having eyepatches.
If you're already doing the bunny then the obvious choice is the frog next. If you want to subvert expectations then do the owl. If you want to be a hipster then do the guitar one because literally nobody has listed him as their favorite yet.
I remember someone listing the guitarist as favorite in one of recent few threads.
I can't draw the hood design on my laptops touchpad
I only now noticed the gloves. Frick.
Precious bun. Very good job despite your limited tools
Looks great!
What's the game called?
homie ITS ALL CHINESE.
Ratatan

Patapon 4
The people demand justice for frog sexo
frog one please and post your bunny model
Judging by Dekadon description - it's literally a Dodonga that isekai'd into Ratatan Universe.
Poor guy became a multiversal jobber.
Poor Dodonga KEK.
The game is so cute I can't wait for it.
Im not sure bros, i likes the tribal like music from patapon but this is more like circus/parade music
Yeah I hope the actual game takes more of a "cooler" approach than a silly goofy one. Patapons managed to be pretty badass despite being little eyeballs chanting gibberish with kid voices.

>aiming for all content to be playable offline
>aiming for all content to be playable offline
what's there to "aim" for? Is the game primarily multiplayer focused?
I think they're saying they're not gonna gate large amounts of content behind multiplayer like 2 and god forbid 3.
i was fine with 2's multiplayer content
komupons having their own personalities was also a neat touch
I'm still on 1, almost done with it. What's locked behind multiplayer in 2?
Nothing. You can do it all solo and you get a bunch of AI pons that you can use there instead of players.
hero masks, mostly. you can also use AI buddies but for obvious reasons it's way easier with players. meanwhile patapon 3 literally requires you to either play multiplayer or abuse exploits to get to max level.
masks and multiplayer bots
masks don't get good until mid-late game though with exception of darantula's mask which is busted
Nothing is "locked," but you have to play an obvious multiplayer mode (but with bots, I believe) to unlock all the hero's masks.
What animal is that in the first column??
Considering one is a mushroom I don't think they're all necessarily animal themed. First column might just be a generic ratatta.
i think it's just a default dude with no animal theme

Technically 3 could be played entirely offline as well, that answer doesn't really mean anything.
I think the 100% playable offline means that they design it to not have dungeons you can only pass solo by being a grinding turboautist like in 3.
Using an exploit to farm fricking patches of grass for dozens upon dozens of hours to level up after you hit lv32 is a big fricking "technically". Patapon 3 predicted the touch grass meme.
>still no port for that coop grindan
you can play certain multiplayer-only dungeons offline, but you're gonna get shredded if you visit them the moment they get unlocked
I'm happy patapon is back but not paying $50 for a 2 hours long game
Finally decided to give this a look.
How does this actually look like a competent game made for the purpose of having fun? I thought such things were impossible nowadays.
I don't wanna get my hopes up. Don't make me do it, bros.
It's done by the same devs of patapon. The only missing member is the artist that provided the designs for the patapons. The game should be pure soul and by the gameplay trailer sample it's sticking to its roots too
>The only missing member is the artist that provided the designs for the patapons.
Jesus christ, it shows, the character design and backgrounds are trash.
I know it's not the same as patapon but you're being a bit too much of a b***h homosexual about it.
>minigame locked behind stretch goal
They'll hit that stretch goal in the next 24 hours easily. They're already at 75M Yen and it's only 80M for the minigame
Green equips aren't real in P3 btw, literally a myth.
console stretch goal has been met
>kickstarter
I've been burned way too many times over the years, anons
I cannot and will not
There's enough of a real game already to suggest that this kickstarter is just a promotional round for extra funding, and they've already got private investors who funded the bulk of the game
The initial goal was 20M yen - after deductions and rewards that's barely enough for 1 year of salary for 3 people. There's no way they're actually using this kickstarter to fund the core development of the game
Just wait for it to be out then
The only kickstarter I ever paid for was for a hoodie
yeah, you should only donate to the kickstarter if you think it'll actually give you everything promised, the only things you'll miss out on are the beta, the physical version, and the extra reward items at most and if you don't care about those buying the game when released is pretty much the same
moss ross would be proud
Well they just reached the 75M Yens
>David Wise colab
neat
who's David Wise?
>David Wise is a British video game music composer and musician. He was a composer at Rare from 1985 to 2009, and was the company's sole musician up until 1994. He has gained a following for his work on various games, particularly Nintendo's Donkey Kong Country series. Wise is known for his atmospheric style of music, mixing natural environmental sounds with prominent melodic and percussive accompaniment.

>That being said, we want this project to be as collaborative as possible. If you have a good stretch goal idea write STRETCH GOAL as the lead-in word and type your idea in either the Kickstarter comments or on Discord.
Anybody have good ideas for stretch goals? Maybe one of us can hop on the discord and share them.
It also says "AND crew members," so maybe some of them could be biological and thus impregnatable.

Will the game have us play a part like with Patapon where we are their God?
not really, we're playing as the ratatans directly this time as far as i know although they get power from the goddess through their meledia or whatever the instruments are called
Can we all agree the patapons were the bad guys?

>3 stretch goals met in a 30min span
crazy stuff
name your most HATED patapon enemy.
for me it's the fricking salamanders from 3. those things make me seethe like no tomorrow.
>oh no, you dodged the explosion but 1 (one) of the flame particles happened to graze your patapon 0.00025 seconds before it disappeared. 9999999 damage.
Salamanders from 3 too
>oh you killed me? better light your Hero on fire so he runs into my suicide attack and nuke his health bar
Actually b***hmade, not even reapers, wolves, dragons, cyclopses or demons are as annoying
salamanders
golems
akumapons with bows
all from 3. curious
No salamander, golem, or bullshit boss will ever come close to making me hate them as the worst creature that Patapon 3 had: Gzpy
I hated salamander+reaper+ ceiling blade swing combo from that one dungeon in 3.You finally kill salamanders quick enough for them to explode before blade comes down only for the reaper to fricking push you whole screen away. I felt like fricking Sisyphus trying to clear that floor.
Why didn't you save him, Ganker? Why didn't you stop drumming when you wear in front of the tower?
Because they're an oppressive people
Death to all zigotons
all ziggers deserve to die albeit

and
how playable is patapon on PC emulator? Some games used to have input lag which on a rhythm game kills it like PS2 Gitaroo Man
It requires a lot of setting fiddling, but you can get it to work
seemed perfectly fine when I emulated 2 and 3
Just set the graphics mode to non-buffer and you should be fine.
What I'm wondering is, if there are any ways to play online with friends for 3 like how MHFU has player hosted servers.
yeah, ppsspp supports multiplayer. just host an adhoc game and use hamachi or whatever they call it nowadays to pretend it's LAN.
this reminds me, I played patapon 3 to completion like twice but I never fricking figured out what the frick I'm supposed to press during don dodon dodon, or how to get other summons. someone tell me how the hell it works.

>YA-HOI-HOI
they're past 90 million yen now but they can't update the stretch goals until someone who can make those decisions wakes up

What the hell is going on? Pledges are going to the roof
patapon sleeper agents have heard The Call
Even on their Twitter are panicking because they didn't expect the sudden boom. Which means we will get more shit for the new goals
I find it pretty funny every goal after the console releases were basically 40-50k each so those would be reached really quickly. Patapon fans are really coming out of the woodworks.
It's calling itself a roguelike so that implies all of that will be there.
>It's calling itself a roguelike so that implies all of that will be there
Not necessari. We need more details on the gameplay loop.
It could be that they consider the permadeath thing on units to be the "roguelike" aspect and collecting materials/armor as the upgrade system. Otherwise it as a feature makes no sense unless you literally set off with your ship and randomly get gear temporarily each stage.
I remember that being a feature in the first Patapon, though I don't think anyone called that roguelike back then. Not too sure if they kept it in Patapon 2 but they definitely would have dropped it by the third one.
patapon 1 had permadeath, 2 removed it
>roguelike
Not even sure what that means at this point point. Can't imagine this being like Hades and it being a single campaign from start to finish
I'd like if this meant that revisiting stages allowed for more random events like weather, different loot/enemy spawn pools or unique challenges/characters to appear. Another possibility is that its randomized versions of the dungeon levels from patapon 3
turns out people like patapon
Everyone dropped a quick 10M yen at the announce of a David Wise Collab. and now they're doing it again.
PATAPON SWEEP IS REAL
>we're now a whole $100K past the last stretch goal
I wonder how many we're going to break through in one update?
Keep these coming anon, I love them.
Sony is really beyond stupid for letting Patapon die, well I hope they are happy with these turds movie games that cost 200M and only sell 3M
This just in. All the current stretch goals has been meet. I repeat, we hit the $650k. Stretch goal will be updated later
>STILL no rpg elements/equipment/customization mentioned

I can't believe people care about Patapon in 2023
I'm so happy that Kickstarter is a massive success
Patapon was along Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy Dissidia the front game of PSP, so anyone who owned a PSP or PSVita have fond memories of it
Im from a third world country and even here if you ask someone who owned a PSP about patapon they know about it and probably played it, Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2 are also some of my favorite games of all time, and im sure a lot of people are fond of those games as well.
It also helps that patapon was an IP that most considered dead because sonyfornia HATES japanese games and fun as a concept. This is probably the first and only time I ever pay full price and buy merch for a game.
>Armed Fantasia saves Wild Arms
>Ratatan saves Patapon
>(technically not Sony, but the games were out on PS1 and PS2) Pennyblood saves Shadow Hearts
What's next in the 'Let's revive a Sony classic but with a legally distinct property' ride? Wipeout already has such a successor, forgot its name...
Can we get a fricking Ape Escape successor already
Of course, how could I forget? We need a new AE. with cute and funny on top.
>Bloodstained series saves Castlevania,
already and continuing to deliver. Interested in the new expansion too. I was originally annoyed by them giving up on the Linux stretch goal out of nowhere but aside from that Iga basically kept all the promises in the stretch goals and updates for free (I admit I'm a little annoyed about certain alternate character modes. The "3rd character" being a guest is kind of shitty and I would like to see far more depth for alternate chars both in terms of story, visual/equjp changes etc.but maybe it will come in the future) , and only now that they're being finished will they charge for expansions.
>Eiyuden Chronicles saves Suikoden,
in development. EC Rising is a neat pre/side game that's more 2D adventure, but the main game is in development and will launch early next year apparently.
>Wonderful 101 Remastered
Platinum gets it out of WiiU jail and improves it, also there is new content added including the ability to play as the bad guy (though I wish it would have other changes to its missions, story etc. Would have paid for a whole expansion for it to really flesh out the enemies, mechanics and more) and 2 little mini-game side stories were you play as one of the kids.
I may be missing a few others but its nice to see this kind of stuff working out
Bloodstained is pretty damn good, yeah. But I actually prefer the CotM games, they just fricking nail that classicvania feel, and I'm a sucker for co-op - CotM2 is top notch.
Oh yeah, I like them as well. It was smart getting IntiCreates to make them because IntiCreates can make 2D platformers and the like really well. I still have yet to finish CotM2, but I liked the extra endings, "new game plus" differences of story etc.. and varying options in the original CotM and hope 2 does at least as well if not better.
Inti certainly are masters of 2D craft, which really proves that MN9's problem was the feature creep (ports galore) getting out of hand.
It was just supposed to be a bonus little sidegame, but I was so happy when they announced the sequel with co-op to boot.
I need to give Gal Guardians a shot next for more co-op goodness with my bro.
I really hope we get a revival of ACTUAL god of war/DMC clone formula one way or another.

Ratatan are cool but I still don't like the more human likes like these
THe change in character designer kind of sucks, but I think the new designs are not that bad and try to modernize them while attemping to find a new identity. If the game actually turns out good they have the potential to aquire sovl, keronpara is already a very charming design.

Its pennies compared to what moviegames cost to develop, meanwhile you could make like 10 patapon like games and build a fanbase for you console beyond a game that can be played on youtube
>it's pennies compared to what moviegames make
According to Sony themselves during the FTC case, their first party games only make up 15% of sales
the rest of it is sportsball games and cod, which are objectively third party, but everyone buys sony consoles for regardless
after this I never want to hear dipshit modern sony fanboys claim that nobody cared about JS games ever again

>last stretch goal
>Buying Patapon from Sony transnniger hands
Already at 100,000,000 yen, they probably expected to reach the rewards in around a week, probably coming up with new rewards ideas once they wake up.

>Patapon has some crossover fans with Monster Hunter too
Explain
Patapon is essentially monster hunter but Rhytm+Strategy if you look into both long enough. And both were PSP sellers.
It took me years to realize that, mostly because i've never played any MH when i had a PSP.
Patapon 2 is Monster Hunter if you only had access to the Hunting Horn.

>WHY DID SONY moronicLY
Why did you answer your own question?
Jimmy is too busy remaking The Walking Dead of Us at least a dozen times to care about "games for children"
>WHY DID SONY moronicLY IGNORE THESE PEOPLE
Jim Ryan thinks that big budget moviegames are the future, that people don't want to play "old" games anymore, and that the Snoy brand needs to "grow with its audience" and so games made for a younger demographic aren't a priority. We're probably lucky we got that new Ratchet and Clank at all after how well Spiderman did.
Unfortunately he's sort of right. The people who buy Playstation products are not game enthusiasts or children. Children are buying Nintendo products, game enthusiasts are buying PCs.
The people who buy PS shit are people who saw the PS1 startup screen when they were 8 years old, then saw it boot into Crash Bandicoot or Tomb Raider or Metal Gear Solid and thought it was the coolest fricking thing they had ever seen in their lives and they've been chasing that feeling ever since. They don't give a shit about gaming trends, they don't have a particular favorite genre or series, they are simply fans of a brand and that is what Sony is selling to them: the brand.
Sony abandoend video games.
They even explicitly said this in that recent court case, they abandoned video games and they make no money on tlou/other western shit so the only way they can make any money is cod bros.

I beat patapon 2 using the shield hero and never learned how properly to use the cover, dodge or jump chants.
Ah, a fellow Lance user.
>spoiler
that's a lol from me
how did zuttankarmen treat you?
How the frick do you guys remember the name of these creatures.
He fricked with my beat a lot, because out of all the bosses he felt like he did the most "out of beat" attacks, mostly the instakill and sleep one, I dont remember if he is the last boss, but if he is then both him and the one eyed crab (which is in my opinion the hardest) took me DAYS to beat, the good thing is that I learned the power of cancelling the beat, but those 2 bosses are the reason I dont look forwrd to replaying these games any time soon.
I only used him and the arrow guy, literally never bothered with anyone else, I was young back then so I could never grasp the concept of status effects and such.
>How the frick do you guys remember the name of these creatures.
i replay these games every year
>I dont remember if he is the last boss
nah, last boss is Dettankarmen (he's also pretty bullshit if you're playing for the first time)
Zuttankarmen is his stronger version and the only post-game boss
reason why i'm asking is because he has a new move that devours your entire army and ignores hero's shield ability
nowadays, i have little to no trouble with them, since by the time i reach them, i crush them in a pulp, see
I remember seeing those french horn guys in every single guide I saw, where they like dps machines or status guys? The little I remember is that they where kind of frail, but I really regret not using different comps or tree variances back then, this game had a lot of depth in it. Sadly I tried replaying it on emulator but I was really of beat while back then as a kid i could pull fever mode very consitently, and my PSP can no longer read the disk because of how much i played it.
Also yeah, I beat the rematch as well, I did every stage boss and pretty much everything there is in the game besides the egg bosses that where you and 3 bots. Could never find an online match.
The moment i read Dettankarmen and Zuttankarmen i remembered the animation for thundering your army. He is picking and choosing,the smug butthole.
Shield hero is OP as long as you got your groove on, why bother with anyone else?
hero is in general OP
Can someone with knowledge on the subject explain to me what a vector is and how they achieve infinite resolution while normal image formats don't?
iirc, vectors are named that way because they are based on mathematic equations that calculate for the dimensions of the image. Vectors are commonly used for logos and icons because they're simple and scale well if you zoom it in or out. normal image formats are not calculated mathematically and relies on the pixels that are on the image.
That's interesting. Since they're equation results rather than pixels does that make them take more space? Or is it that they take more processing power to render?
I don't remember that part, sorry. They tend to be on the large size and are a bit harder to make, I think, but the latter is probably just because I hadn't learnt enough about it
so vector art is not made out of pixels, but rather out of shapes (lines, points for weight/color/borders) that can be defined by math
if you upscale a regular picture (raster) at some point you will start to see the pixels themselves, but with vectors you just do some math and re-create the shape at any scale
Pixel art is a grid, you fill each square (pixel) with a color. Resizing it to be bigger will create pixellation, because you can't make new detail out of what you already have.
Vector graphics are defined by math. So if you have for example a circle with a radius of x, in order to resize it you simply multiply x by some factor. Complex vector graphics (this includes fonts) are made out of shapes and 'cuts' all defined by said math, so you can resize them at will and won't lose any details when doing so.
Is this game vector or something?
Patapon is, Ratatan is not.
I wonder how large this game will be, given all the detailed art and that raster art doesn't compress nearly as well as vector art.
Anybody getting ready to do a patapon marathon in 2024? We should do a weekly thread till the game releases.
We're now $200K past the last earned goal. I can't wait to see what the chart looks like once it's updated

Anon a lot of Kickstarters are just to show producers that the concept has fans willing to pay and the raised money goes directly to the devs
Rata rata ratatan!
Hear me out guys...
I'm listening
I didn't need convincing
Guys I'm out of the loop. What game is this? Is it a spiritual successor to Patapon?
Yes, spiritual successor for the same devs.
So it seems some people are fake pledging according to the comments in Kickstarter.
The actual amount might be lower than what it currently is
>fake pledging
Its this now a thing?
What even would be the motive for that?
If that's true then why do that?
It's like donating on twitch, to get the other person excited
You then refund it
Looking through the comments, I think this is a possibility.

WHERE'S THE HIGH QUALITY VERSION
WHAT IS THIS RATATANS FOR ANTS
who /fish/ here
Fish is like an angry, feral and undeveloped version of these guys.
You get more troops by converting that fish into these.
I actually know nothing about the gameplay other than it's similar to Patapon. Can I get a rundown?

>Legend says a lonely goddess brought life to the world by waking them up with her song
>The Ratatans wish to join the Goddess in paradise and travel to her on the living ship Fortrun, where they once lay dormant
>The fish, AKA Chorus, are primal entities that transform from wild beasts into Cobun, to suit the needs of whoever leads them with song, specifically the ones the Ratatan perform with their instruments
>No idea what the black looking Cobun are, or why they exist, presumably the bosses of each stage have the same Melodium instruments needed to command them as the Ratatan do
Sounds like a combination of Patapon 2 and Patapon 3, with multiple Ratatan heroes (like in 3) but also an big army of Cobun footsoldiers (like in 2)
Also of note, it says the 8 Ratatan we know of are just the ones who were on the boat, and more were "scattered".
Place ya bets: More unique Ratatans, dupes of the existing 8, or non-playable?
Considering there were 16 Rarepons in Patapon, and the Ratatans seem to be based on them, there will probably be way more playable Ratatans that we haven't seen.
At least one will be evil and claim to know the TRUE nature of the Ratatans (probably to kill or weaponize the Goddess, WHAT A TWEEST) and will stop the Ratatans to either protect her or because they're defective (it fails and they end up joining the crew anyway)
I am all in for /duck/.
Mushroomchads rise up
you know it
Is there a reason why they have only one eye, outside of being similar to Patapons
They're old automatons given life by the song of a distant goddess, so maybe their left eyes used to be specifically for slotting in optic modules?
that's pretty cool, damn

Yes its part of the Patalore, Ratatan follows Patapon ending C where are the patapon die and their souls are transported to machines
Where the frick is this patalore? I don't remember this despite getting all the endings of Patapon 3
Did you get all the mask?
All the uberhero masks? Or is this Patapon 2 lore?
Yep the ones from the online, otherwise you couldn't get the ending C
I've never heard of this before and now I'm compelled to find out if you're bullshitting or not
https://patapon.fandom.com/wiki/Patapon_3_Endings
Wiki doesn't mention anything like that
I think that guy is high
Its right there anon
Ending 3: "Offer my soul, and save the Patapons..."
Wishing to build a future for his race, your Uberhero offers his soul to free the Patapons and Meden from their petrification.
Says nothing about Patapon souls being put into robots
Because that's the retcon excuse for Ratatan lore the devs posted it on the discord

I'm kickstarting your homosexual fan game.
I just realize something, has Patapon 3 ever get remastered yet?
It never did. Probably never will, not only has sony dumped the devs on their ass 3 wasn't that well liked to begin with.
Though a remaster fixing the coop dependancy would actually have probably resulted in an at least decent game.
who even responsible for remastering 1 and 2 anyway?
I mean to be fair Sony has been doing the Patapon series very fricking dirty
Patapon 1 was a surprise hit, so with Patapon 2 they did a test run and didn't include a UMD and only a download code, back when downloading games on consoles/portable was just starting to become a thing
Then, they forced the devs to go all in on the multiplayer aspect with 3
The frick you talking about? I still have my Patapon 2 UMD. It's one of my most precious items and memories.
Even 3 was on UMDs sold as Essentials long after PSP went into the end of its lifecycle.
"At first yes the US did not get a physical UMD of Patapon 2, however they did eventually release it as a UMD in the US around a year ago. I have one."
My bad anon, it looks like they did the whole 'no UMD' thing at release (certain countries excluded) and then went full UMD
i remember this, it was really stupid
i bought both versions
The music
kind of sucks
Wonder if they'd take criticism on it, considering how "collaborative" they claim the project will be

I'm seeing the icon of a spanish fnaf youtuber/streamer who commented on the jojo MV took one of the highest tier spots. Expect to see a pink puppet mask with horns in the game, I'm calling it now. If not, I hope it's something based and spanish themed

Planning on replaying 1-3
Is PPSSPP the best way if I don't have a PSP?
Its the only way if you don't have a psp a chink emulator console or a steam deck
you can play the HD versions of 1 and 2 on PS4/5 but otherwise you need to emulate if you don't have a PSP
How well can PPSSPP run on a laptop?
It plays just as well in a goverment laptop that could barely run lol than it does on my PC. Its very well optimized and psp is LOW as frick on resources.
Patapon New Vegas
Did they ever fix the input lag on ppsspp, I remember it being a big issue
Playing right now, seems ok
what is this game?
character designer is the same one from Deltarune btw
guaranteed success
They just updated the Stretch goals
chip hint was chiptunes
How fast do you think this list can be filled?
We just passed the base customization one
4 days
Nyandora is so fricking hot
This are the same devs to give us Naughtyfins after all
Game's been in development already and they gave themselves 2 years to finish it. Anything more is window dressing, which is probably why they want community input as to how to use the rest of that money
alright lads i'm starting patapon 1 again, this time i want to finish this fricking game
any secret tip i should know?
Always follow the Pom Pom with a Pata Pom
Mogyoons are the best type of Rarepon for archers, megapons you get late in the game but are very strong, also try to make them Mogyoons.
Why the frick do they keep setting these tiny stretchgoals. It's like they enjoy having to come up with dumb shit just to justify another goal.
I'd rather this than something like "proper ending of the game" for $10,000,000 more like Shenmue 3 tried to pull. This just means they have a proper complete vision and just want to do stretch goals for extra stuff
My bets are that most of this stuff is already there and probably developed (Room customization, chiptunes, minigames), and they are just agitating the community
The number of backers is barely going up. Very high chance that it's just a couple of trolls that are backing up insane amounts of money and are going to cancel it just before the kickstarter ends. So do not expect that the pledge money it's going to remain so high by the end of the month.
That's depressing.
there's someone in the discord that said they pledged 100k euros and provided some evidence it might be legit, but i'm still concerned (especially since they used multiple accounts too)
Have some faith. I donated $300 for the vinyl, artbook, and shirt. There's plenty of adults funding this.
i got the $300 tier too but the recent push from 75 million yen to 120 million yen was apparently mostly that one guy which is why it's concerning
The thought of that had never crossed my mind. It is now all I will think about for the next 29 days.
FRICK
No more pom poms for this pata pata...
average pledge is around ~200 per person.
Chart updated again.
I have a SUPREME NEED to sing along with the ratatans. It doesn't go away. Help me.
is it worth buying on ps4 or should I just emulate the psp game?
buy a psp
thats not terribly helpful
yes it isn't
Between ps4 and emulating, emulating its the better choices
PPSSPP is perfect so just emulate.
However the feeling of playing it is greatly enhanced if you actually own a hacked PSP or Vita.
>However the feeling of playing it is greatly enhanced if you actually own a hacked PSP or Vita.
why? I don't know much about the series honestly aside from the surface details
Near zero input lag, and the controls feel nice.
PS4 port has unbearable input lag.
Emulate or just buy a PSP, they are dirt cheap + boot screen, UMD and UI is soul.
the PS4 versions of both 1 and 2 are fine for me. didn't need to mess with any calibration settings or anything either
New stretch goal : just for 38 billion dollars we will buy Sony and bring patapon characters back.
Looks like we're on our way to $1M/Y150M by end of this week
Anyone have any idea how much the original games cost to make?
Like tree fiddy
>not shilling patapon-likes
go back
i think there is no real gameplay yet
There's literally one gameplay video so far, and it's with audio haphazardly slapped on top instead of using actual live music.
After 10 years I'm finally past the desert. Can't believe how much reading filtered me at that time
Yep, at least I beat 3 at the time
◯ ◯ ▢ ◯
I am completely fricking baffled that this actually took off so hard. I'm happy about it, but I wouldn't have expected this in a thousand years.
are these threads really gonna stay alive until 2025?
No, and neither should they be, the spike of excitement is there, but I doubt there's heavy autism like DMC or YGO to make this a general in spite of mods.
I think we'll be getting them until the Kickstarter campaign ends
Then we'll continue when beta starts
>Loved the plant based patapon evolutions in Patapon 2

Will they frick it up again?
>They were weak
You were weak. Menyokki was one of the most OP motherfrickers in the whole game even with the fire weakness
>plant
>no upside
Anon...
Lmaooo what? both the tree and mushrooms were the KINGS of farming mats.
My dude WHAT. They were actually broken as long as you knew how to run them.
You never had to deal with fire as long as you put the boss to sleep!
I've only ever played Patapon 1 but it's my favorite rhythm game ever (with Beat Saber at number 2).
Just started a replay of 1 and then I'm going to play 2 and 3 for the first time after.
Might as well just jump straight to 2. It's basically just 1 but bigger and better.
but.. the LORE
Ziggers don't want you to march, but you marched anyway, this is where game 2 starts.
who out here ziggering their zank
wait do literally any of them play the drums? who is keeping the beat?
In 1 and 2, (You), God, is playing the drums.
In 3 and seemingly in Ratatan, the hero is playing the drums
The hero unit keeps the beat, each has a unique instrument. Nyandola is the only one we know so far to specifically use percussion (if you can call dancing with bells percussion)
Technically Hero fuses with Kami (You) in 3's prologue
well yeah
>itt anons pretend they played patapon
Literally earthboud tier ""fans""
i've played 2 from start to finish twice you gay
i was hiding under blanket with my psp and headphones from parents late at night
what is there to gain from pretending to play it? you can emulate it right now
Black person I will take a picture of my psp copy right now
You can literally just download PPSSPP right now and play any of the Patapon games for free.
I have never touched Patapon in my fricking life.
This looks fun.
Look at how awesome this shit is.
Is it worth playing 3 without online?

Secret ending for the next stretch goal
I wonder if the commands like Zun-Taka are going to be played on a beat of 8 instead of 4? Like Don Do-Don.
can Sony sue them? Their lawyers could make a case over the theming, font usage, and black target logo dudes. don't want them to but I'm worried
if they gather la lot of money ike >2 million maybe
Can't copywrite gameplay and can't sue someone for saying "We used to work on Thing" if they actually did work on the thing. Seething is not grounds for a lawsuit.
>Can't copywrite gameplay
Pretty sure you can
Warner Bros copyrighted the LotR Nemesis system
i hate the childish music, much preffered the more gritty patapon 3 music
How is David Wise a stretch goal? Have they already talked to each other? Can any Kickstarter claim stretch rewards like "$50,000 and we'll have a collaboration with Taylor Swift and Chris Pratt!!"
Money laundrying
Im sure they talked to him already
>"hey t-swizzle, wanna work together on a game if we reach a stretch goal?"
>"sure"
>"cool"
Im 80 percent sure taytay is harder to get a hold off than that
I'm sure that they'd need to be free and open to the idea. Then it's just a matter of commissioning them. And I'm sure of portion of what they're paid is just for getting to stamp their name as a contributor to your project.
i need to finish patapon 2 now.
also if the people who made oc for gong for king of Ganker are here, you are my ziggers
>art of gong for king of Ganker
i need to see it now
>spoiler
you're welcome, brah
playing 1 rn and i cant beat her what the actual frick do i do
she either 2 shots hatapon or takes out half my guys and im forced to restart
the retreat command just isint effective enough and they will run back up way too soon and get snapped
I'm not sure if it's by here but you may need to break your fever to get back in rhythm with the enemies patterns
Should I play Patapon 1, replay patapon 2, or give patapon 3 a chance?
I love patapon 2 but I feel like i played it wrong back then, i never experimented all that much, but I wonder if i will miss much by not playing the original.
I played over 100 hours of DS remastered and im playing trhough P5 royal right now, so I only have enough life force for one more 100 hours game for all of 2023, so playing the trilogy is out of the question.
as someone who just replayed Patapon 1 starting like 3 years ago and finally obtaining the platinum trophy last year because of awful drop rates and boring grind getting stale, just play Patapon 2 and 3.
You're definitely going to be putting hours into Patapon 2 if you want any sort of progress and it gets pretty stale. Patapon 3 if it's your first try, you might as well.
>"UH, ALL THE ZIGATONS OR ZIGGERS AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM, GET OFF THIS LAND BECAUSE IT'S FOR PATAPONS ONLY! UNDERSTAND? CAUSE IF YOU DON'T WE WILL MAKE ZIGATONS DEMON SLAVES AGAIN!"
>the zigatons kidnapping her pulling the cart on horseback dont know what to say and just sit in silence
You think the Patapons came up with any racial slurs for the Karmen or the Bonedeths?
I'm spending so much fricking time grinding for materials in Patapon 1 it pisses me off. I know I can beat the game with my current army, but I want all Mogyoon Yumipons and Megapons for some reason, and my autism won't stop me. I just need one more super cedar and I'll finally have it.
patapon 1 and 2 play remarkably well on the android version of PPSSPP.
dead thread - bonedeth thread
By the time we get to the final dungeon therr's only monsters left to defend the archfiend, meaning we literally killed every single bonedeth in our way. With only four people that's pretty impressive.
the dlcs though
non-canon
I wish it was though, since that would mean that the four killed three cosmos dragons (whatever that means).

They reached the "fireworks" stretch goal, whatever that is.
theyre going to put fireworks in their ass and light them
Personally I'd rather stick my rocket in nyandolas ass, if you catch my drift.
Why is that white mage playing a tuba
Hope we get a full official release of the soundtrack this time
One of the backer rewards is a digital OST, so someone will probably rip it.
But what the frick is "Fireworks"

I can't support it buf if I could I would've suggested a wider accessibility option for hearing impaired individual.
As I see they could make it with two steps.
1. those who can't hear the melody would use another mode in which screen will pulse in tact with the music in a more visual way compared to what they have now so you could play the game with the sound off
2. add an option for vibration so your controoller or switch could vibrate to the rhytm and you could correctly make inputs.
>1. those who can't hear the melody would use another mode in which screen will pulse in tact with the music in a more visual way compared to what they have now so you could play the game with the sound off
that's been a thing since Patapon 1.
The vibration for controller would be perfect but keyboard/mouse players would complain but at least it would work.
>that's been a thing since Patapon 1.
That's a thing. Its not enough. This slightly white rectangle is not good. Not noticable enough
>Its not enough
when I was a kid I played without sound a lot, but maybe the units can be more distinct in their animations. Right now the animations look difficult to see with all the shit going on but in Patapon 1 the Patapons do move with the beat of your drums, granted they drop when you frick up.
There could be just be big ass numbers or captions like those numbers in Guilty Gear Strive
FEVEEER!
