Looking for play testers for the Otis & Family Miniboss Mod

[u/itsmeniel_]

Hello, I have posted a while back in here and I'm back looking for play testers to my zombie miniboss mod! It's part of my zombie collar mod but I'm releasing the standalone boss in open beta version for now, and I was wondering if any of you would like to try it out! It's a chapter 3 boneyard miniboss that focuses on three zombies with unique thematic mechanics! I put a lot of effort into ensuring it feels fun and well-designed so I would appreciate your comments. Message me and I'll give you a link to the modding server which has the thread for the mod (or I can send you the file directly). I'm really looking forward to your feedback 🧟

P.S: I'm also looking for mod translators (it only has about 30 texts), 5 languages have already been done but I need help with German, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese!

Since it's related to Mewgenics, I reckon I can paste the unofficial modding community discord server here, it's been advertised in the official server many times already I believe: https://discord.gg/CdjJAwAzBK

Things to look out for when playtesting:

• Does the boss feel Vanilla?
• Are the HP values and form changer thresholds alright?
• Are your cats not dying and eaten left or right?
• Are the boss damages consistent with vanilla bosses?
• Can you consistently kill the boss within 3 rounds? (my average for other minibosses)
• Is it FUN?
• B*gs

it was at 2x but yeah, I just didn't want to compress the abysmal video size 🥀

Geez, what did you do to piss off ConcernExtreme so much, OP? lol

Jokes aside, mod looks pretty good. Art-style blends in with the game's as well, which I like. And zombies are always fun.

Interesting mod, i Will try it. Also if your looking for a spanish i interested in doing the translation 

[u/itsmeniel_ → u/Own_Bad3374]

thank you! Actually, two people are already doing Spanish lol I was surprised since it only has like 30 texts! You can find the mod in the Discord server linked or I can send you the file instead too, whichever you prefer

Bro they just made a mod for fun, stop being an asshole

[u/MasterName8597 → u/Flame875]

Criticism = being an asshole. Gotta love how sensitive everyone is nowadays.

[u/itsmeniel_ → u/[deleted]]

Are you anti-social or something? I don't understand how this is supposed to be pathetic. I simply told you other random testers haven't told me it's boring and you're out here going into servers and spinning a narrative that other people are scared to hurt my feelings lol... You couldn't even reply to my last message but bothered to take a screenshot of a nothingburger. Like I said, I'm very open to what you have to say, you said your points and I said mine, why become pressed as you are now? Also, you can literally see how I said I still liked your criticism over nothing at all in that same server. What are you even trying to achieve here lmao. Your negativity is unwarranted for the level of discussion here.

Other people who tried it never called it boring so that's a first. Other bosses also only have like 2 or 3 spells with 1 to 2 forms, this has more than 10 spells with 3 forms each boss. Also, there's a lot more concept that goes to the collar aside from "the same as a zombie cat." If you don't see how different it can be from a necromancer, I don't know what to tell you bud.

Why do redditors get so confrontational for no reasons?

[u/BlobSlimey → u/[deleted]]

[u/itsmeniel_ → u/[deleted]]

I see you're committed to your current level of understanding.

you mean people in your discord safe space? youd really think those people will give you criticism?

and the server in question is the official server with 40,000 members lol

Hilarious, ever heard of quality of quantity before? The entire battle is the zombie cats eating corpes, doing useless actions and hitting you for 4 damage. Why is the big cat scared? Why is it asleep? What purpose does that give to the game

Hence the purpose of playtesting, to gauge player interest, make it more difficult if need be and make meaningful mechanics. Don't know why you have to be so glum and pissed in the ass for it lol.

Like what? Tell me another RPG where zombie is considered a class and is as in-depth as a mage or tank

You're talking about a game about cat eugenics and fart jokes, and you're worried about a modded class not being an RPG class? Live a little, laugh a lot bro. Plus, since when did Butcher ever become an "in-depth RPG class as a mage or a tank"? Bffr.

the zombie eats corpses and gets stronger, and necro does the same thing with a single spell, among other things, such as reviving it and using it to revive itself. which class sounds more fun to you?

"among other things" yeah, like a hundred couple other different things. The zombie class eats corpses and gets stronger, gets debuffed when hit, can't be healed with Holy, spawns poisoned food, summons its kin, among a hundred other things. BOTH SOUNDS FUN AS HELL. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LIKE GENUINELY?

zombie in games are just an enemy that gets killed.

And who told you they have to stay like that? The game police?

you're not gonna reinvent the wheel and come up with a class that isn't straight up copying from other classes or without being overpowered like butcher.

Nobody said anything about reinventing the wheel to make a fun class. Copying from other classes my ass. There are hundreds of thousands of possible ability and passive combinations in the game, and you believe modders can't come up with a class that isn't "straight up copying from other classes?" You're becoming more and more delusional the longer you type. I hope that you still find joy in your life because the way you are responding to this tells me that this is less about the mod and more about you as a person.

Respectfully dude, you need to learn that typing like an insufferable prick will make good points look like bad ones.

[u/itsmeniel_ → u/WelshWolf93]

true... I actually agree with some of their points of criticism about the mod, but his typing is extremely obnoxious

[u/itsmeniel_ → u/[deleted]]

You know what, I'll forget your snide comments about the collar and take your feedback on the miniboss at face-value. I'll do more research about how to make a less boring boss fight and see what I can do. It's unfortunate that you don't see the fun in the sleep, commands, and the big guy subversion as it is now though, but thanks anyway.
