What does Yea Forums think about self inserts in games/fan games ?

They're fine if done tastefully.

If it's out of the way and made out as a joke character then it's fine. Morimoto was a post game battle in 5th and 7th gen but he makes himself the weakest of the big post game fights and no one outside their in game office mentions him.

I preferred the Leftovers guy who liked to use pink pokemon!

he could have released it optionally

>romhack references a meme
:|

people that are playing the video game dont care about a random programmer that they dont even know about and is probably just a random retard they want to play a good video game, this is the only acceptable type of self insert

Where can I find the latest version of this? Also, anyone know which of the Touhou gba romhack games are decent?

Self inserts are fine if it's just an npc or a dev room or something
They must never be a boss

I Love it and think it's fun to see the programmers as Easter Eggs.

I don't have an issue if it's like, a completionist reward or something.

(sound warning)

Self-insert bosses are fine if it's either a complete joke boss or really fun.
Or both.

only if they are post game, self inserts should never be a part of the history

yeah sure
I guess I'm also fine with it if I can't tell that it's a self-insert.
OP image definitely does not satisfy that.

Oh, yeah, that goes without saying. 100% noncanon.

its not an easter egg, shockslayer is literally the elite 4 master

Oh really? That's absolutely fine, you get to beat the designer at his own game, that's a fun idea isn't it?

no it isnt,it would be ok if you could fight him in the post game but he literally removed the old elite 4 (full of enjoyable characters) to include his retarded friends instead

Undertale

>enjoyable characters
Oh yeah I remember, that time you got to hang out with them? And the time they spoke more than 3 lines each? And all those times you bumped into them on your adventure?
Lance was literally the only one to get more than 1 minute of screen time and was the only E4 you encounter outside of the League. But i guess that nostalgia stick is so far up your ass you've made stuff up?

>play game
>shitty nerd looking neckbeard NPC appears
>"oh hi, it's me the Dev I just wanted to say Hi!"
Immersion ruined.
although a Dev as an OP boss is even worse.

The way Crystal Clear shoehorns self inserts absolutely ruins what would be an amazing rom hack.
Shockslayer will definitively never release his source code since someone would eventually remove all those shitty self inserts.

koga was a gym leader in gen 1 bruno was part of the elite 4 in gen 1 etc
i dont care about fucking retarded developer that self inserts himself in his game because of his massive ego, i care about actual characters with good personalitys

PurityChan is alright, she's more or less the official mascot now. Art of her is exploding everywhere right now.

At least it's not Pokémon Reborn where every character is based on a real person.

YOU THINK THAT'S BAD? see the other E4

Purity is Life.

Yeah, because some fag pushed for it. Also, she’s not a self insert.

>some fag pushed for it
I don't care who you are, one random person is not capable of forcing something on this scale. And yes she is a self insert, one that the autistic Dev said he liked.

What's the best Pokémon romhack? Been looking for something to slap on my Android to play when bored.

>A fan-made character got popular so it MUST be some fag pushing it!
>No one could possibly be unironically enjoying it!
>All that art? Nah, its all commission work! They're getting paid!
Pic related, someone liked this shit enough to draw it by hand.

Crystal Clear

i wish crystal clear was more like those alt start mods for other RPGs

like you can skip all the starting bullshit and remove all the roadblocks but you can start the main quest when you want

Edmund in binding of Isaac does it good

Fucking autismos.
This is now a PurityChan thread

yah that was fucking retarded
especially him and the guy with all the systems around him
also the sprite work was soo ughh it stands out soo bad

he didnt design shit
he litteraly just took out all the roadblocks in the game so it became open world thats litteraly it

You guys think a Gen III ROM hack that just updated the Gen II pokemon's colors to Gen III would be good enough to make the experience different? Has any other ROM hack already updated the Gen II sprites this way??

It's done perfectly there

look i think his self inserts are fucking dumb but you are dead fucking wrong if you think all he did was remove bushes and shit

Depends on presentation. If you want to be a major character, make it interesting enough that I don't notice without prior knowledge. If it's obvious, make it comical or out of the way so I feel like it wasn't shoehorned into my main experience.

Agreed, Mega Fatty is a pretty good boss.

bump

Here’s a pity (you).

Cut the middle man and go straight to TPDP, it's just better.

Prism, it's got some edgy and pretentious stuff, but it's still fun to play as long as you don't pay too much attention to the story

In the main story I think it's fucking stupid, but some side quest or easter egg, is fine.

>on this scale
It’s 4 or 5 drawings. Of a game about children being raped.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? I thought the OCs were supposed to be very out of the way and unimportant
