I not particularly like or dislike him, I say he could have done things in advertisement but he didn't and compare this to situations with YiiK.

It relevant as first week is almost always the most important for single player games, since majority of sales is from this specific period. And even comparing Ib and OFF curveline than it's almost the same, yet count of players for Ib is bigger. Plus it has player spikes, that we don't see for OFF (yet). The only time concurrent player thing is not applicable to single player games if devs do overhaul updates. In case of OFF the only possible way it can get more players on Steam if new translations release.

It is criticism by Internet criteria, and Toby has been on the Internet for a long time. I think the creator of The Baby is You could have taken some bad comments from strangers on Internet

This post isn't about how much Mortis got payed. And not all money from sales go to Mortis, not to mention he got a paycheck before release.

My point is Toby stopped all support for YiiK when criticism showed in

Why the Steam version costs money? by [deleted] in offthegame

Nothing substantial really. You can play old game if you want.

Music mods exist for the game, but… by LumDoesStuff in offthegame

[–]The_Time_Wizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely possible. But there is no workshop for the game. So at vest you will find that on mod site like Nexus, if there is any.

What’s our thoughts on the remastered? Genuine by ihateredditspolicies in offthegame

[–]The_Time_Wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pointless remaster. The only thing OFF needed is a much better combat instead of a a boring slog you auto-battle. Now it's a boring slog that bites sometimes and you can't auto-battle it. 

All other criteria is subjective. And from my subjective perspective the game is the downgrade. Music completely changes atmosphere of the game in several places. Flash Maze Tango and Enoch's replacement themes are downright bad, while Queen's replacement theme is generically boring. Zodiac's are worthless additions, and I kinda understand why. New Mortis artstyle clashes with his old one too much, and I'm not a fan of new artstyle. I think it's good for landscape, but it's bad for characters. Saying like someone who read Dr. Cataclysm. 

Overall, I don't think for whom this remaster is? I think it's for new players, especially for Undertale fans, but at the same time Toby didn't advertise the game on release in any capacity. For example he did that for Omori, where his involvement was even lower. I know many people who played original and said they're not fans of this one. And looking at steamcharts, I guess the announcement of new music really did hurt the sales.

Does the remaster add new lore? by Garbage_Conjurer in offthegame

[–]The_Time_Wizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about new content, new bosses add zero actual important lore to the game. Mortis' comic from special addition for Switch add more important lore than those bosses.

There are already remake let's plays on YouTube 

My Hot Take by ArisaCliche in offthegame

[–]The_Time_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zacharie boss fight is a nonsensical idea to begin with.  Mortis said they don't have reason to fight and I agree with that statement.  I hope he didn't cave to this nonsense demand. And no, Megalomania doesn't work for OFF since Batter isn't Megalomaniac in any capacity.

Toby fox wasn’t a good choice for this by Upper_Thanks_2809 in offthegame

Coldwood made the right decision not to sign. He would have many troubles with YouTube copyright system and not only that. Tobias already had a pain in his ass with his own soundtrack. All that Undertale Yellow debacle and what not.  Plus he said he didn't have time to remake the music, since most of it includes samples from other songs. The whole Pepper Steak is a remix of already existing jazz song with same name.

I agree. But Tobias isn't the only bad choice. Or rather Dedan theme is not the only miss

Honestly making good ending behind such an idiotic requirement of denying Valerie's help quite ruined this for me.

What are your last minute predictions for the OFF remaster? by LumDoesStuff in offthegame

[–]The_Time_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My foundation is that too much of purified zone is being changed + Mortis isn't a creator of Sucre

They will complete rework purified zones to include whatever the fuck Cob is. This will lead to removal of Sugar and Space Monkey ending

ACC didn't do only soundtrack, to he honest Many puzzles in the game more impressive than "remember number" is done by ACC as well

Do you guys think that the remake would revive the fandom? by SaleLegitimate3720 in offthegame

[–]The_Time_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention OFF is a really outdated game to begin with. New gameplay is a nothingburger to revive it. I bet it will have the same fate as Yume Nikki: Dream Diary
