So far the following balance tweaks and polishes will be in the next patch:>Morton has his ultimate item, the Puzzle Box>Papineau gets several defensive/healing and offensive skills that use cleaning items in your inventory>Calm Dan buffed, and the start of a stream gets more viewers based on how well the previous one did, however Beg For Money will reduce the maximum amount of viewers you can get>Dan's quest will permanently increase viewership>Sophie has increased ballistics and critical hit chance when hiding, and the damage of special marbles scales with level>Ambush will do more damage depending on how many status effects the target has>Coral Slingshot added to the flooded apartment: +45 ballistics and additional luck>All marble locations in the overworld will give special marbles in addition to normal ones, including the new slingshot in the flooded apartment>Hellen's Soul Feast will only target enemies, and both it and Soul Drain will be stronger>Massacre no longer removes the stalk status from enemies>Fallow Will will make weapon skills cost more STM>Unmask has been buffed to only hurt, confuse (40%), and stalk (80%) enemies, but costs 4 STM>Hellen is immune to the Soulless status>Grim Harvest does more damage, correctly applying the HP-reliant damage with the max health instead of the halved max health when the skill is used>Soulless is removed at end of battle; before, if a party member's soul was taken, they would mistakenly have 20% reduced stats forever>Grafting now revives an ally instead of healing them; health healed depends on Hellen's max health>Soulless and Soul Drain have new icons; Massacre uses the Kitchen Knife for the skill icon>Some of the beef in Lyle's bedroom is unable to be picked up unless you're starving, as a way of checking whether you're still on track for the Ascetic challenge (similar to the plant now only having the talk option if you're lonely). Ascetic Sam will give Fridge Horror the panic status1/2

What is the rationale behind corruption damage weaknesses and resistances, anyway? I understand that bugs are weak to crushing but enemies that look soft aren't, and anything fleshy or eye-themed is weak to slash and pierce respectively.

What if the apartments and the building itself weren't as rundown before as they look and just changed because the Visitor was fucking up their space and time, like with everything else?
I'm surprised there isn't a "offshoot" stat to track how many Cursed like Jeanne and Frederic and Phillippe and Kevin and Memorial you meet that lets Sam refute Unity
>>4069807Sounds like cope.
>>4069802Depends on what you mean. It's true for bottomless pits in apartments like the tooth family's, and the initial idea behind them was a form of fast transportation around the building (reused for the deep basement area with Charan). I don't know about the apartment bathrooms that lack sinks, showers, or toilets, maybe Henderson is just a slumlord.
Realistically the rat kid will probably not live long considering how fast he grows up. He looks like 8? 12? by the end of the game if you take care of him and he was barely born when you picked him up. He probably has the lifespan of a hamster.

>>4069885And all Jeanne's heads are Jeanne and all the Frederics are the real Frederic and Phillippe is not separate from the Spore Mother
>>4069910>all Jeanne's heads are JeanneOriginally they were supposed to grow back into tamer versions and sprawl out over the apartment, helping you in battle if they were nearby. Pic related, unused overworld sprite.>all the Frederics are the real FredericThey are parts of a whole. You get the full story of what happened from Faceless and Toxic, after all.>Phillippe is not separate from the Spore MotherHe doesn't think so, and judging by how you have to nurture his remains (unlike Laughing Mold and Comatus who were never part of the hivemind), he isn't.
>>4069884I understand that they as well as the other characters/monsters you mentioned are a simulacrum for what you eventually learn is Earth fragmenting and evolving away from its progenitor, but it's just that. Things are far more irrevocable when the fabric of reality itself is involved. Seeing >>4069886, it pretty much ends up imitating Sybil regardless of its feelings.
>>4069319This guy is so BUGGED haha!
>>4069951The Visitor isn't even one complete being, it needs time for it to become aware of what its other parts are doing, it's likely it has a decentralized nervous system like an octopus.If anything it should be easier for the Visitor to divide than for it to consume Earth especially considering the dividing that the Visitor keeps doing to CursedIf the Spider Husk was truly Sybil, then she'd be able to make its heart useless against her
>>4070003>it needs time for it to become aware of what its other parts are doingIt does take a while for the world to completely fracture beyond repair, rather than reality blinking out in an instant. Whether the Visitor only realised that was happening hours after the fact or if it prefers to absorb a slurry, I've no idea.

Does the Exalted Four grow in the endings? They seem kinda small in their overworld sprite, but in the Promise ending they’re enormous. I guess it makes sense, given the E4 need to somehow go from a creature that can be beaten by a well-equipped part of four to a monster that can single handedly butcher 124 super-intelligent kaiju as well as hundreds of millions of others
>>4070067
>>4070075The Exalted Four are much bigger in pic related than they are in the overworld when you're about to fight them.

There was some new "content" in the devstream. Frank was addressing a bug where you'd get a game over if your only other party member leaves/is kicked out while Sam is unconscious (mitigated by slightly healing Sam). Of course this would also be an issue for Spine in Meat World since you have to be alone there, so he decided to have fun with it.He also said he would add Confusion content but didn't specify.
>>4069988Kissing him means you're married, he just misinterprets the attack kinky roleplay. Telling him to leave your apartment on the other side equals divorce.
use case of cash sock?
>>4070360>After kicking out a companion, if the companion has a status effect that wears off, the game will still mention them losing the status effect despite not being there.Would be funny if, before this bug is patched, someone kicked out Lyle while he had the guilt status effect, and at some point a couple in-game hours later they get the random message popup "Lyle got over it".
>>4070003>considering the dividing that the Visitor keeps doing to CursedThat fits. Eldritch mutations always seemed like tumors to me. There is probably some mental state at play that decides whether the extra face or eyes split up and become an offshoot or stay attached to the main body.
>>4070189The endings in which Sam turns into a gargantuan eldritch who outgrows planet earth could theoretically make him grow so big that he will eventually be able to fist the visitor.

I wonder if people's lifespans changed after mutating. Disregarding those that were unfit to live from the get go due to fucked transformations. But maybe it depends on whether the transformation has just changed the face and maybe added some claws or if it changed the person on a cellular level like Jeanne, Audrey or Lyle.
https://lookoutside.miraheze.org/wiki/Sam>Sam is a middle aged man in his 30s,[1]Did a fucking 15 year old write this, how is thirties middle-aged?
>>4070568We will all die with 60
>>4070285Ideally whatever Francis adds for Confusion wouldn't require Spine to be spared, but I'm not optimistic that he can add something to Apartment 31 without it revolving around her in some shape or form. He's not much better than the fanbase who will look at Stretchface's line about time passing 23 times slower and relate it entirely to the designated waifubait rather than the character actually saying it (and insist that said character is just a random one-off enemy that doesn't need new interactions).
>>4070568When I first heard Sam was middle aged I thought he would be 50 years old or so. It would make his life so much more sad and pathetic.
>>4071016He's not middle-aged, that assumption stems entirely from this Hellen mealtime interaction>I don't know what the Visitor looks like, so I'm imagining it as a man of average height and build. Middle-aged. Sunken eyes. Despairing eyes.Maybe he aged like shit, but Frankie described Hellen as chronologically older than Sam in the AMA.
>>4071016Realistically though neither his nor Lyle's lives were likely to change between 30+ and 50 if the Visitor didn't come. Nobody will employ you anyway if you were a NEET for most of your life and once you pass the late 20s or so you will be too used of being a loner and slack off to get the energy back to go outside and do anything. Hell, I was never social but up till my early 20s I still had somewhat of an urge to find at least one good friend or to communicate with others about my interest. Now meeting with somebody once every two months is such a chore that I come up with excuses to stay at home instead. The only semi-social thing I have the energy for is to post on this basket-waving forum here. Though that aside, based on his in-game pictures I assumed that Sam was in his mid 40s. Dude must have had a hard life.
>>4071049>best goddamn soup you ever had in your lifeworst*
>>4071069Sam always gave off the impression of being a decent cook IMO. He can of course only work with the little shit he finds in that house. So no camembert for Aster. Although this would be a funny character quest to find it.
>>4070076That chick has an awful habit of spamming obnoxious "cheers" one by one so that they clog up the screen and distract normal people from the thing Frankie's working on.
Sophie's apartment is finally getting a toilet.
I wonder what Spine’s relationship with Confusion and Stretchface looks like. I get the impression that those two are stuck in their respective rooms while Spine can roam for whatever reason, and given both of them hate Sam* I feel like her crazy love for him must drive them a bit mad.*Though I do get the impression that Stretchface less hates Sam and is more just frustrated with him and the general situation. Confusion seems more hostile, actively trying to kill him while Stretchface thinks he can genuinely help Sam by pulling his face open
>>4071369It's not that they aren't free to roam the apartment, they simply feel the same way about someone in their room for days at a time as any other NEET would.
Lyle’s so much more repulsive than Spine. Even ignoring the whole>malething Lyle has going on, Spine has no choice whatsoever but to be in her situation. She didn’t choose to be turned into a flesh monster but was, didn’t choose to be stuck in Sam’s apartment but was, didn’t choose to have subjective years go by, slowly driving her mad, but does. Lyle on the other hand was a weird stalker freak entirely thanks to his choosing, and was creeping into Sam’s house and probably taking photos of him without his knowledge since even before the Visitor turned him. And he shows no issue with subjecting the player to endless torment by trapping their soul (and many others) within a photograph for his own amusement, while Spine genuinely believes turning you into a meat thing is kind and will help you
>>4071373I don’t think Stretchface would be freaking out and telling himself “he can do this” with reference to enduring Sam beating off or showering if he could just leave the bathroom. And I don’t think it’s coincidental that Confusion loses his marbles over Sam specifically sleeping all day, specifically calling him “the sleeper” if he could just leave the room too.>Why do you sleep in my room? Why? I live here. You sleep a very long time. For weeks at a time. When there is SO much WORK to DO.
>>4071376>fantasy rape creature is easier to stomach than weird guy with mental problemsVery original opinion.Also no one in Apartment 31 is an actual person, just Ship of Theseus'd entities.
>>4071384An innocent victim of cosmic horror who genuinely wants what’s best for you >> creepy stalker of his own volition who will torture you inside a photograph forever because it titillates him
Spine’s so much more repulsive than Lyle. Even ignoring the whole>femalething Spine has going on, Lyle has no choice whatsoever but to be in his situation. He didn’t choose to be a persona non grata but was, didn’t choose to be born with neurological disorders but was, didn’t choose to have years go by, slowly driving him mad, but does. Spine on the other hand was a weird stalker freak entirely thanks to her choosing, and was creeping into Sam’s bed and molesting him without his knowledge for months rather than doing anything else. And she shows no issue with subjecting the player to endless torment by mutilating, brainwashing and imprisoning them (and many others) for her own gratification, while Lyle genuinely believes encapsulating you in a photograph will bring you back to life
>innocent
>>4071383If that is the case, I'd like to know what other oddly specific revelations Stretchy had besides "time passes 23 times slower".
>>4071386Okay, I'll answer this rather than post meme arrows.The reality is that the "creepy stalker" is a more down-to-earth portrait of both loneliness and complete ineptitude. He's a fuckup by normalfag standards, but not someone who would be talked about as a mass shooter. The latter (or more accurately an eccentric equivalent) is rather something cooked up the inner world he escapes into. This is why his quest is so great besides all the different character interactions, because it's made more apparent than ever to him that the aforementioned fantasies ruined his life, and he has to learn how to set aside his maladaptive coping mechanisms regarding photography when it's forever embedded into his biological makeup by now; if not, he disappears from the world outside his apartment entirely. Dan's quest is similarly about hobbies and "just b urself lol" being detrimental at times.Francis set out to make a character whose raison d'etre is to (by his own admission) make you extremely uncomfortable, and succeeded. Spine barely demonstrates theory of mind, let alone budges from the demonic fatalism she's cultivated. There's never actually a moment where she understands you don't want to be raped and borged (perhaps, in her defense, it wouldn't matter in the end since at that point you've discarded prior memories and accepted your fate as a blob of flesh), she just thinks you're "not ready yet". From a practical standpoint, there's no reason to give this thing the benefit of the doubt as you might with a troubled acquaintance from your previous job, and if you do spare it, it becomes even more taxing on your mental health.
>>4071376He's cute so who cares. My cat is an asshole too but he's a cat, so it's alright. Plus, his issues are relatable if you're a sperg.
>>4070509A variation of "Attack the Visitor" where Sam inflicts Panic (and Pain) on the Visitor, causing him to turn into an enormous cluster of arms hellbent on injuring the Visitor with building sized kitchen knives and pool cues
Was it ever hinted how Edwin remade the meat world guys into what they are? I know that he did it, but he would need a special power to turn them into what they are, otherwise they would have just been crippled or killed by him. I guess he has the power of reassembling in some way, which might either be caused by how he witnessed the visitor or by a personality trait of his, similar to how Lyle can trap people in photos because he likes photography. Further, if the victims were his neighbours that went to the apartment to check on him the original apartments of them could only be apartment 30, 34 or maybe 35 before Sybil moved in. Meaning that one of these apartments might have been that of Spine, Stretchface and such, unless I misinterpret things.
>>4071831In his notes he mentions crushing them, and he probably has access to space-themed mutilation techniques like spaghettification and rapid decompression. As for the flesh piles in meat Apartment 33, they might have been C/SF/S's doing, seeing as Edwin doesn't really bother with that area himself. Alternatively, those three were cobbled together from said flesh piles, or were the only souls that could endure the torture Edwin put them through.
>>4071873This is why I would never go near any spiders. Up to this day I don't know if they're jumpy (supposedly one of the reasons for why they've chosen Lyle to be spider-based) and flee or if they are more likely to jump right into your face if you go near them and I am not willing to find out. I also legit believe that spiders and flies have supernatural powers because they will manifest out of nowhere no matter how closely shut your apartment is and how often you clean everything.
>>4071888House spiders cannot survive outside of indoor environments + they mitigate your pest problem. Let them live rent free.
>>4071831Considering he was among the first witnesses and studied the Visitor for an extended period of time like Sybil, I wouldn't put it past him to exercise spatial distortion potent enough to grab people from outside the floor or even building.
If you enter apartment 31 with Lyle Edwin should attack him first and demand his lens back.

>>4071394>>4071369All new Apartment 31 content goes to you-know-who so these questions will never be addressed.
Sam killed Phillippe and everyone he cared about, brought him back to life, and treats him like a brain damaged pet for his own pleasure. He also hated the family next door for no reason, and probably had a hand in his parents' deaths. He's a psychopath.
>>4072203>All new Apartment 31 content goes to you-know-who? Honestly no I don’t know who
>>4072219>probably had a hand in his parents' deathsI understand the first two but where the hell did that come from?
>>4072236I was shitposting, but this bit in the Mask ending may be suggestive of something>You take one half of your sandwich back with you. You remember your mom cutting these into triangles.>She is cutting them into triangles now. But you already have a piece. It's the same piece she is cutting now. You tell her not to bother cutting it, because she's done it already.>This time, the words catch in your throat. You just hover there behind her, your now countless arms hanging limply. She turns and screams, so you disappear. You must have startled her.>Maybe you need to hide so you don't scare people so much.
>>4072226I think he means Edwin
What the hell was this for?
>>4072065That's how you play indoor golf, by photographically simulating a golf course on a screen. There's a hitting mat floor in the room too.
>>4072226I think he means Spine
>>4072528Then why can't Sam play it
>>4074166He is averse to sports in all their possible mediums.
>>4074170Even Reptile Football?
>>4074182Controlling a character on a screen isn't the same as actually playing football.
>>4074193Sounds like someone who can't handle a running tackle
>>4074170Based. >>4074182I was surprised that the spider cared. >You never pictured Lyle as a sports fan, but he sits quietly beside you as you play. He inches up to the edge of his seat whenever you get the ball.
>>4074371He's probably just interested in the scalie characters + the fact that Sam is playing as them.
>>4074373I wonder how he felt about the Wizard's Hell game when Sam kept playing it. IIRC he commented on it with something along the lines of "Y-you really like this torture game- c-cool". I assumed he must hate it since he basically identifies as wizard, but maybe he does and is just insecure. Like when he pretends to hate M&W if you choose to call it cringe. Aster's reactions to that game were also funny since he got personally offended. I generally love the game reactions.
>>4074385
>>4074395Yeah. Can't tell if he likes it because he's secretly evil or if he's insecure because Sam does it with wizards like his chuuni persona.
>>4069069I wish they would finally add new sprites for the next update instead of all these skill shenanigans. The skills are also nice, mind you, but I would first update the obvious stuff like the sprites, some of them weren't changed since the jam session.
The Ritual is just Sam reenacting Wizard's Hell in real life Third most important game
>>4074395I wonder if he's the type of guy who would go full villain if Sam did. Though I rather imagine him as loyal right-hand man who would be insecure about his best friend's/leader's evil deeds but support him regardless.
>>4074743haha what if sam learned a vore skill from froggit about it haha
You're technically fucked as a simple human in this world post Visitor. Eldritchs have it way easier and probably live longer too but mutating carries the inherent risk of getting the short end of the stick and turning into something so distorted that you are better off dead. Hard choice.

Confirmed on stream: Ernest was a past viewer of Joe Rogan and thinks he's a glowie now
>>4080779I fucking love Ernest's comments. Clicked on every single toilet when he was in my party. Pic unrelated, I just can't find any art of him that I or others didn't already post.
>>4080779How would Lyle react if he were also in the party?
>>4081230Isn't that black fat blob to the far right him turning? That aside though I am surprised he didn't care about others looking when he kissed Sam. He probably doesn't care that they know how he looks, but they might tell him. I guess in the end it doesn't matter since you see that he isn't human-shaped from a mile away but still.
>>4081373that's Ernest
>>4081378Oh yeah I am retarded. He's talking so I didn't even consider looking for him. I guess he wouldn't like to see other people using his bathroom (besides Sam, at least) but who knows. He mostly comments on nerdy stuff like the wizard comic in Fred's apartment. I only recently realised that he also comments on the photograph in his own apartment, but he doesn't say what it is. It always looked like a bigger person being together with a slightly smaller one so I assumed it was a pic of himself with his mother. But he clarifies that it's quite "old", so it might simply show his parents, which makes me wonder if they're dead. It would explain why he needed to develop an old film. It might be something from his memories that he cannot photopgraph anymore.
>>4081378My favorite team comp is the hooded team with Ernest, Morton/Aster and Lyle
>>4081401You and me anon. Coincidentally I also love hoods in general, even though that's not the primary reason for why I stick to these teams. I simply like those dudes the most. Makes me wish that Sam would get a hooded sprite when you choose to wear the occultist robe at the end.
>>4071074>Sam: Aster, where the fuck do you expect me to find that in the apocalypse
>>4081723My man has standards. He won't touch any dirty tv food.
>>4081399>photograph in his own apartmentI didn't think much of it at first as most painting/display textures are reused throughout the game, but it's seemingly unique to Apartment 21 and wasn't added thereto until release.And the tub being long is not enough, it should be wide to fully accommodate all of that
I have analysed the Apartment 31 situation from every possible angle and can confirm that Spine bribed Confusion and Stretchface into assaulting Sam in hopes that the experience would make him more receptive to her demands, and in exchange he'd be an obedient flesh pile rather than cross-dimensionally irritating the two.
I love to read the million theories that the spider fags and the stretchface fag tend to come up with.
>>4082420Yeah and he's a 30yo NEET so I wondered how the parents felt about that if they knew. Unlike Leigh he has no cellphone or any means to be contacted by anybody so at first I assumed he didn't want to, but if the photo should show his parents or one of them it would be more likely that they're dead. Lyle is rather the type that I would assume to live with them to avoid going outside. Unlike Sam he isn't able to cook or anything either, so he rather gives impression of a lone sperg who fully retreated from real life once he had lost the last stability in life when the parent(s) died. I know those are just bullshit assumptions, but it would fit to him being "in a dark place" (or something along the lines) when Sam was nice to him while they were still working together, which was what has triggered his obsession with him in the first place.
>>4069069Why do people treat their single player games like multiplayer games and constantly buff and rebalance shit? You have to know when to say "enough is enough".
>>4082811Maybe autism. I also change my art after I am already done with it 50 times because I always spot some pixel that looks wrong.I would prefer if they finally made new sprites though. That's personally more important to me than more skill balance. The battles are good enough IMO.
>>4082811It's partially due to the game itself becoming harder so Frankie has to make the party members accommodate that. In other cases it's unused content finally being implemented, e.g. Roach Blizzard which was supposed to be in the game already.
>>4081401i prefer the fa/tg/uy team (ernest, lyle, audrey)
>>4082811It's absolutely necessary for Papineau. Half of the time he serves the role as a heavy lifter for players who couldn't get more than one party member prior to reaching the ground floor; otherwise he gets relatively outshined by certain characters due to his lack of special attacks and the fact that Share Lunch can only be used once per day. Compare to Aster who is another progression-based recruit (as opposed to a random door encounter) and has 7 skills that can be used indefinitely. Even now Pap has less content than someone like Dan or Leigh despite being the literal head custodian for the building.
Lyle will get even fatter after moving into Sam's apartment because the latter will cook for him.
>>4069142hahahaha you cried to janny
I submitted this game to Vore in Media a month back. Waiting for it to be covered.
>If the player successfully retrieves the Iris Key from Darryl's den after defeating him, the game will still say that you see a creature peering from the darkness.I refuse to believe not one but multiple people considered this a "priority" "bug". It's just storytelling.>>4083144Sam should rape him, specifically with a method that prevents the rape from being pleasurable to Lyle.
>>4082468I wish I knew who they were before they were reformed. I still believe that at least one of them must have come from the taxidermy apartment. Quite ironic when you think about it, since taxidermied animals are also reformed beings. In a way.
https://www.twitch.tv/frankiepixelshowRare Monday stream.
>>4084950It's just Community Jam work. The stream title was just bait.
>>4084662There's only one bedroom in the taxidermy apartment.
>>4085299Well. One then. Still good enough. I leave it to Stretchface-guy to choose which one.
SO considering that Sam is a NEET but only has one game in his room by the time is it right to assume that he spent most of his free time with piracy and shitposting? Laptops are usually not what nerds and NEETs use though, they're more into desktop PCs. But maybe those would be too expensive. And considering that Lyle doesn't even have that I have no idea what that guy was doing all day. He can't possibly use up all of his free time with stalking and masturbating in his fetish room, does he?
>>4086240Considering that you get the guilt trip mirror scene after stealing valuable shit in the game, Sam probably wouldn't pirate anything. He might be one of those people that equates piracy to stealing.
>>4086259Yeah but you literally steal something from someone in the first case. Piracy is nothing but a digital copy, it's not the same as stealing the food of a lonely dude during the apocalypse. I would feel like shit if I stole from random people too. Never gave a shit about piracy, I pirate like 5 GB a day.
If the game covered 15 more days we could have witnessed rat kid's rebellious teen phase. And if it took another 30 days probably his midlife crisis.>>4084407And Lyle would still pretend that he liked it.
>>4086326>Look Outside enters endless mode after No Going Back or Flawed Ritual
Roxie will help during the Sewer Beast fight
>add more code alongside bug fixes>release update>people find bugs in new code>prepare another update>repeat
Sewer Beast will constrict party members every other turn, and now has Pain, Taste, and Confusion Dance in its various parts
>>4086240You're taking the setup too seriously. There's only a handful of games in Sam's apartment upon starting a new save because otherwise you'd have access to a shit ton of skills and time wasters right off the bat. He talked about vidya with Louis and in one mealtime interaction Joel mocks him for staying in his apartment and playing vidya all day (before the apocalypse).
>>4086587>>4086240A common explanation I see is that Sam's been selling his games to afford rent.
>>4086587>>4086934Maybe he also has a Steam account. His console seems pretty old so that would explain things. I never bought any new console besides the hackable Switch since 2010 or something. Basically since you could get almost everything for PC for 5 euros if you wait a few months. Makes more sense to keep oldschool consoles for nostalgia reasons or to play some obscure old games.
>>4086576Sewer Beast was something of a joke, to be fair.
>>4087116The console supports an online multiplayer game (Kill to Shoot) as well as a NES Mario Bros. analogue, both in cartridge form. It doesn't resemble anything in real life.
>>4079374Any suggestions for more monsters (male)?
The fact that a hikineet like Lyle got hold of an ultra rare Czech videogame like Space Truckerz further fuels my 'Lyle is a Slav' theory.
>>4087690literally anything is more believable than him being black
>>4087674Isn't that just a Switch?
>>4087703No.
>>4087696Yeah. I even imagine some of them as black (like Dan and the two kids) and Sam and Leigh as brown(ish), but Lyle always came off as weird white dude to me. The only hint that he might be brown are his arms, but they aren't even human and they might as well share the color of the vintage camera that he probably used. Plus, if we go by the remains of human traits you might as well consider the eye color which is light gray if the eyes of the sprite-head are anything to go by. Considering that he's a pitch-black machine spider with metal legs I think it's fair to assume that his current colors tell you nothing about his human appearance.
>>4087682
>>4087713His arms are meant to resemble a bellows. No one who insists on him being black has seen a vintage camera in their lives.
>>4087737life*You get the idea.
>>4087737I always imagined his arms to be extensible because of that. I think it's funny that has no human traits left. Maybe the upper head, vaguely, but even that lacks the nose, the hair, he has lenses instead of eyes and the insides of his mouth are blue not pink.
I imagine Aster and Jeanne as blue people, like Xaria.
To what extent are transformations painful? Jeanne says that the heads coming in don't hurt, and Joel's mouth growing into his eye only felt "funny".
>>4087913I imagine them to be horrible but think we barely have any hints from any of the transformed characters about the process that suggest that they feel pain when it happens, unless they merge with something evil. Some even imply it felt "correct" to them. Or maybe it's the shock that makes them ignore it, would love to know as well.There is no way that the radical transformations like that of Jeanne or Lyle don't feel weird as fuck but maybe they rather feel sick than in pain, similar to how cancer doesn't hurt until you're already about to die.

>tfw first try at cursed mode but Lyle can't join yet and Leigh needs more food than I have to do jackshitFuck this I will start again, ignore her and just savescum until I get a good door encounter
>>4088470Why does it take an entire day for him to develop a photo again?
>>4089425It's not a photo that he vomits or shits out like the ones he makes with his body/camera, it's a usual one made by Sam, so it's developed normally. I admit I have no idea how long it usually takes to do that. I am old enough to remember how I gave photos away to be developed when I was a little kid in the 90s and I could swear that you could usually get them back 1-2 days later, but that might be a false memory.
>>4089470I'm contrasting the time taken against Sam's own development of the photo (if he kills Lyle and goes in the dark room), and he's probably never done anything like it before. Maybe the event should be modified a bit so that several in-game hours pass.
>>4089485Would be all in for that because it's kind of annoying that you can't recruit Lyle until day 4 the earliest. He probably just spend all day fapping after the kiss and could have developed the photo in an hour.
>>4089507I mean the event of developing the photo on your own

I hate the Juicebox funeral shit for contradicting enemy names being Sam's own mental categorisations/sobriquets for said enemies. No problem with absurd humor in an inherently absurd game, but obituaries dedicated to "Rat Freak" and "Main Gauche" require too much suspension of disbelief from me.
>>4089892His design is dogshit now, does he really need hair on top of the equipment being dropped (Sunglasses)? I hope the artist in >>4090449 continues drawing the old one.
Technically it would be suicidal to leave your room before the 15 days are over since it's highly unlikely that every window from the floors and the apartments you explore are barred. And the moment you enter a room with an open one it's already too late, you already saw IT, even if only was for a second.

>>4093439Nigga...?

>>4093446My arms are decorations, seeing as I mostly use them to fap.
>>4093017That's what Lyle wants to believe. But you can see his spider ass and the 20 bug legs from a mile away.
>>4084407>On day 16, Sybil's hole in the Apt. 33 bedroom disappears.>bugit's an intentional signifier that she's no longer around anymore, on top of her being connected to the building.
>>4072059Cute
still jamming to thishttps://youtu.be/7-EISmYjDW0
Do we know who lived in apartment 33 before Sybil manifested in there?Why did she flee to 33 of all things anyway? The apartment doesn't seem to be special and Sam is technically a rando who might or might not choose to meet the visitor.
>>4095645You mean 35.As for the location, it's materially very far from where her previous residence was (Floor 1). With regard to Meat World the two apartments are directly connected and occupy the same chamber.
After doing the Promise ending, I gotta say, it feels a bit too uplifting and idelistic. Naively so. It doesn't feel right for the cosmic horror story, where you're retaining your humanity in horrible circumstances, even if you have to sacrifice a lot to see it through. And c'mon, the Exalted Four DON'T go through a BIGGER change after talking to the Visitor? Sam can go from human to a tree of life-esque giant tree that spans the entire world, and don't even get me started on XIN-AMON. Sam doesn't even mutate at all despite being outside and looking up at the visitor during the ritual.Perfect Ritual: Denial has the right amount of "sacrifice" to make up for all the good that comes from it, I think. The Exalted Four are dead, Sam is a giant tree/mini-visitor abomination, and who even knows what happened to your companions.
>>4096803That ending focuses on interpersonal relationships and Jasper/Sybil rather than the world at large. Hence each character's outcome being detailed as opposed to humanity being treated as one needy mass.
>>4093931Knowing that Lyle's real face is the one he's hiding from people, he's pretty similar to Norris-Thing in that his mutation produced a relatively humanoid caricature of his features, while still having his original head (albeit warped).
>>4097390I always headcanoned that Lyle had some super sight and could zoom into far away objects since his primary eye is the zoom lens he borrowed. It's probably never really relevant during the 15 days because it's all happening in a single building so there aren't any remote objects or monsters to spot. He would probably be very useful in the wild or by night with that ability.
Im thinking about making a short TTRPG game heavily themed by Look outside called "WE HAVE TO SAVE ERNEST!" where the players have one hour to roll, get equipment, companions, etc. And have to bum rush rat hell to save the nice homeless man.

>>4102864>Whom belongs that little skull behind Sam to?Tickle or Marc-Andre I'd assume, not Rat Child since it's a round skull, they have a full party, and at this point it'd be too late in the game for him to still be the Rat Baby Thing inventory item.

>In Look Outside, there's an unused, chance based event where Sam would lose his footing, fall down the stairs, and fall unconscious. The player would then have to wait for up to an hour for him to get back upThey should have implemented this it sounds funny. Imagine this happened on your curse run and you couldn't save for a while.
>>4096803I guess once you hit biblically accurate angel form it's hard to mutate further?But I still think they would've grown into rings of eyes around earth or something Or at least I think that'd be a neat visual still different from the sam tree
>>4104383It is Gnosticism again A biblically accurate angel is monadic pure state that can't grow as it's a perfect loop that hit its ideal state.A Sam tree meanwhile is a demiurgic impure state that keeps growing.(yeah im bullshitting)
What other games do something like Look outside's handling of stakes and endings? I like how you pursue deeper into the game's secrets and unlock potentially both better but also more catastrophic endings as you do so with truth/denial being like the apex of that (or unity and promise). You get to the end but ditch the end boss, worse ending than waiting and doing nothing but not 100% kill in the way a truth or unity is.I think you still can technically do promise if you kill Sybil or at least still do the usual truth/denial as long as you don't enter that room?
>>4104383Reminded me that one of the Malison angels has been on a wendigoon thumbnail for years now
>>4104401https://frankiesmileshow.tumblr.com/post/747590474547806208>I swear I was doing these before they were a big internet meme!

(he didn’t ask me, either - but I figure he just saw that shared online and thought it was from an old game, idk)>The weirder alien angels are still in there. The more symbolic-looking book of Enoch style ones are like, big boss battle style monsters you can fight very late in the game, theyre top of the hierarchy. The more alien ones are a bit lower down in the hierarchy and are found a bit more throughout the game, and they are most of the angels you actually interact with.
>>4104408I had this angel type in 2013 as a teen for an OC advanced alien civ since wheel with eyes just sounded like what an advanced alien would look like to me at the time. Hell it is not far off from how some UAPs get described IIRCSo I feel like a lot of people converged on utilizing them.Ultrakill had virtues and providences that were abstract form angels who avoided the usual biblically accurate look so maybe there's still room to move with it. But there's only so many ways to make angels whose appearance is based on Platonic ideal forms I suppose.
>>4104408I do like em

Private depot was updated 5 hours ago.
>>4104398Considering how well known and popular Lovecraft creatures and cosmic horror as a concept became in the last decades it's quite astonishingly how few games (let alone live action series or cartoons) ever truly delve into that genre. Not counting pure references or parodies. I guess Darkest Dungeon and Dark Souls made despair popular but actual eldritch degeneration fuckery is still rare.
>>4106054It's surprisingly common among RPGMaker games
>>4104653Everybody draws lyle for some reason

I think Lyle's insecurity comes from the fact that he's someone who is evil but wants to be liked. Zalmoxis is his real self, this is why he doesn't stutter when he's assuming his role during the roleplay sessions. It's that feeling you might know when you're around people who are too correct and you feel like you have walk on eggshells and hide every weird interest of yours because it might be seen as evil and cause drama. Just that Lyle might actually indeed enjoy stealing souls and destroying the world with an army of the undead if he has the possibility to (and if Sam wouldn't dislike him for that).
>>4114657Billions must die.
>>4114664I mean they kinda did. And with all that shit happening Lyle isn't particularly shady or monstrous anymore. Compared to most mutations he's one of the good ones. Kinda. And most of the people and societal expectations that he hated are dead and gone now too.Stuff like that makes me wonder how he feels about the visitor. Unless he enjoyed his life as shut-in without goals aside from successful stalking, but I doubt it.
>>4114657He doesn't stutter while roleplaying because it's something he's passionate about. Likewise he talks normally when the subject is photography.
Did Jasper ever cum inside Sybil post-mutation? The Bite Child looks suspicious.
>>4114796Can relate. I'm absolutely incapable of speaking clearly when I have to pretend to care about shit or talk when I rather stay silent.

Not even criticism, just surprising since everybody else floods their shit with cthulhu clones (the kids are the least interesting characters though).
>>4116343Leigh is strangely underrated. She's my favorite female character among the friends. I wish she had more fanart. If this game was adapted to a cartoon or anime she would be the coolest of the bunch.

Having a straightforward retro RPG to sink time into during the weekends with nothing massively subversive inside it is very nice every once in a while.Look Outside is still better though
>>4128495You better hope he survives next patch. Fidget will consume junk on use even out of combat, so you burn through a rare finite resource just to use his one unique gimmick and are punished for giving the junk to him, and the only good reward from the crossword thing is getting nerfed into the ground instead of just buffing the other four.I really don't get the point of doing this to him. It's not like he's broken or overpowered, and the tome is a reward from a time sink superboss that just makes him finally good once you manage to get it. He's just going to go back to never being used when this happens.
>>4130194Blame Discord users
>>4130196>discordas expected, my guess was that or leddit"Balancing" is one thing but completely obliterating the guy right after he stopped being useless is just kicking the worst character in the game off the ladder. The only thing that would make sense to 'nerf' is just making the end game bosses resistant or immune to broken bones.
>>4130194If he doesn't walk back then I'd just rather not update because really what's the point then
>>4130390If I recall correctly the nerfs are higher STM cost for the spells and more HP taken when the Tome is opened, along with bosses being resistant to broken bones like >>4130204 describedMaurice is an infinite source of breakable weapons, but are you really going to spend hours grinding Junk by smacking shades and stuff around with dual machetes
>>4130393I was more referring to fidget than the tome, although that's at least not as bad as it could've been if that's correct.But I have an old save on cursed with Morton Day 2 that I've just used to start new playthroughs on, and I had a lot of fun with fidget and throwing random garbage at enemies to kill them. The rework for it felt perfect as it was. Prior I only ever kept the Prism on him for the half physical damage just being very useful. Now he has a reason to shuffle and makes up for his lack of consistent power compared to all the other characters with utility and burst damage, and fidgeting in combat is far riskier and he either lucks out and wins or gets himself killed.He wasn't really overpowered, just sometimes a lifesaver and always very fun. And using him this way requires using fidget dozens of times out of combat to give him the best piece of junk to throw at the upcoming encounter. It would completely screw him over.

>>4130457That would be nice at least, but if healing is the problem just change it so you can't use rejuvenating gaze out of battle or something

as far as LO porn goes, i find the flesh abominations more appealing to look at than obese, ugly blacks
>>4131032looks like goatsee
>>4131069
>>4132409>meat is back on the menu, boys
>>4132411I like spine but I've started to get the favoritism thing, she was the most memorable encounter when I first played the game and the only part that really unnerved me, but now she just feels like a weird, invisible roommate.
>>4132411
>>4134587The prompt for this one was "personality swap"
>>4130196Why? What did they say? He was perfectly balanced IMO. You could ignore him if you wanted to but if you didn't you could do as >>4130194 says and get some great team member for battles. It's just a bonus reward.
>>4134768This >>4130435 and the Tome supposedly being too powerful despite its health sink
>>4131363Same. I wish more of the porn was actual monster porn (be it cute or alien, both is fine). I mean actual monsters aka non-humans, not tumblr people.
>>4134777The tome just turns him into a less powerful Roaches that needs to spend one turn chunking off some health in order to do anything at all. Even post "nerf" Roaches was arguably buffed for boss fights due to the multi-hits being focused on a single target. And he's getting the cold spell next update too.
>>4134805>>4134777>>4134768Go in his chat when he's streaming and make your case, otherwise he'll think people want this crap
>>4134807I am too shy, 4chan is the only place where I dare to talk to others online. I believe in the other two anons.
>>4134779the most annoying thing to me about the tumblr fans is their insistence on a "found family" themethe characters go their own way in Promise with the obvious exception of the childrenyour companions are people you're sheltering, same relationship Musette has to the guys in the basement camp, nothing more
>>4134812believe in the me that believes in you
>>4134822I can see it for some to be honest. Like Dan becomes a legit weekend gamer friend and Lyle and Leigh are still close to Sam. But it makes no sense for Hellen for example, for whom tumblr is simping the most. She stays in character and just leaves, planting gardens wherever she goes. Even Marble girl leaves to search for her mother if you didn't find her.That aside even if they are with Sam they don't feel like a family besides the kids. The nice thing about the characters is how unique everybody is within this setting. No room for a typical happy family here and it's good that way. Though I feel again like Hellen is the one who gets mischaracterized the most of them.
>>4131363Bisexuals are a plague on everything they touch.
>>4134588
>>4131363Scary creatures and monsters always get cuter the more often you look at them. It's like with weird animals that you see for the first time and learn to love after interacting with them. Tumblr styled humans on the other side are supposed to be ugly because the artists that draw them fetishize ugliness for some reason.

>>4137847ALL of these enemies have porn btw
>>4137852https://www.twitch.tv/frankiepixelshowHe's drawing Clyde right now
Do you think Lyle would make mechanical noises if you fucked him in the ass?

>>4137852
Frankie said he imagines Sybil to be in her 40s. would you still hit?
>look outside has no normal human women outside sophie's mother who is already eldritch-looking on a good day>look outside has like thirty different unchanged human menwhat did franke mean by this?
>>4142734Beryl is normal.
>>4142736true, forgot about her. xaria too! that's three versus... eugene, sam, dan, ernest, nestor, aster, aurelius, henderson, monty, and sebastian? anybody else i can't think of?i guess you could also count the traders? but most of them feel like more of a gameplay mechanic than an actual part of the world and story to me
>>4142739>anybody else i can't think of?Papineau as well
>>4142739Henri is human beneath all the ticks, I thinkDo Vincent and the Wounded Neighbor count?
>>4142744good catch on henri>Vincent and the Wounded Neighbornah they're already warped both body and mind, even if less so than some other cursed
>>4142746Hmm, okay. Not a character per se, but the guys that Jeanne is eating when you find her are human
>>4143251nah I think they should have at least a line or two to count as characters. the toilet guy starts as human too now that I think about it, but he gets wormed before we really get to see him.
Next character of the week is Jeanne
I wish 75% of LO art and discussion wasn’t centred around Lyle. And it feels like 75% of the remainder is centred around Spine, who I also don’t particularly care for
>>4144603Lyle I can kinda understand but I never got why peopel like Spine.
>>4144605she's female and wants the protagonist inside of her (literally)
>>4123629oooOOOoooOOOOO FRAAAANNKIIIIEEEEEE WHERE IS THE UPDATEEEEE
Friend is playing the game and said"i wonder if hes going to steal my soul with this photo with an eldritch camera" about lylekek
>>4144275I want to eat shit straight out of her Jeannus
>>4144603Is Spine even popular outside of /a/? I see Lyle everywhere, but the Astronomers, Jeanne, Hellen and Sam seem to be way more relevant than Spine on twitter and elsewhere. I even see more fanart of Morty than Spine.Sorry for posting Lyle but it's the first LO pic I casually saw today.
>>4145428>/a/I think he's wondering why the stalkers are liked in general
>>4145430Yandere are generally popular, no matter the gender and type of media. I think the real surprise here is that people like them no matter how horrific they look. But then again I am a fan of guys like Saren Arterius and Tsurumi (post brain damage), so I am not really the one to talk about looks here.
>>4144605between the two i find lyle more repulsive. spine is a monster but one that never really had a choice in it's isolation and insanity. lyle chose to be a stalker freak even before the visitor came. the fate spine inflicts is terrible but at least sam enjoys it in some fucked up way>You slowly come to realize something terrifying. She was right.while lyle just traps you in a picture for you to be tortured for all eternity. or at least until the photo decays. with spine you presumably die when meatworld goes, or when the visitor chooses to absorb/kidnap sybil at the end of the fifteen days
>>4145525>>4071418
>>4145529so the answer is that you're all just as autistic and gay as lyle? and that allows you to ignore the breaking into your house, stealing your property, and trapping your soul in a camera to torture you? eww
>>4145525you don't end up liking it, it's explicitly mentioned that every part of you is replaced, she's a female rapist
>>4145532Yes, now back to r*ddit
>>4145533>you don't end up liking it,i just quoted the game itself. feel free to argue with sam. and and even if we want to argue it's sam dying, at least his suffering ends relatively quickly, rather than being drawn out for decades or centuries by lyle
>>4145537>literal homo>calling people reddit
>>4145539>>4145532>>4145525like, honestly. spine is a monster that needs to die, or at least be forced to change, absolutely. what i don't understand is the insistence that lyle is much different. the only way he's better is that he doesn't immediately force himself upon the player, rather just takes their photo so he can perform his own version of supernatural rape at his own future convenience
>>4145541One of the styles (Burichan) is named after a gay porn imageboard, thoughbeit.
>>4145539>being mutilated and brainwashed is a bad thing>being mutilated and brainwashed is a good thingpick one
>>4145555see>>4145542
>>4145542He is bro tier like many psychos you recruit or otherwise befriend.
>>4145569lyle and spine belong in a category of their own when it comes to companions. at best the other companions have tried to kill you or will try if you piss them off enough (hellen, leigh, phillipe, spider, etc), but those two threaten supernaturally bad fates that go beyond mere death
>>4145581I would argue that Phil and perhaps even Spider fit in the latter category
>>4145583nah with phil you're just eaten and a fungus monster is spat out in your likeness. spider is trying to save you from literal infinite suffering by destroying your soul, which may be bad but it's not "and when the pain comes, it comes all at once. and it never ends" kinda bad
>>4145586>you're just eaten and a fungus monster is spat out in your likenessThere's a sidequest specifically highlighting why this is so cruel.
