Diptych

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Diptych is a Unity asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated someone else's Cocos2D template for a visual novel, changed the name/reskinned a couple of things with some art ripped off some failed Furry artist, and submitted it to Valve as if it was their own game. Diptych is yet another asset flip/construction kit template copy+paste from serial Russian shovelware asset flippers, Dnovel/FreeAnimals_Software/Trinity Project/My Way Games. These guys (or just one guy flipping accounts to mislead gamers) do nothing but copy asset store assets and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, and dump them on Steam and into DailyIndieGame bundles as cash grabs. Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates, assets... at best, this is shovelware, at worst, it's a scam/cash grab. Cementing the position of this as a cash grab scam, Dnovel decided to abuse Steam Early Access by dumping this on Steam in an incomplete state then they moved on to other projects. They dumped this into game bundles where th…

I would categorize this as anything but a game. After "playing" it thrice, the game only lasted for mere minutes. Despite being advertised as early access, there haven't been any updates for the past year. Given these circumstances, I would strongly discourage purchasing it unless significant improvements are made, assuming it ever comes off early access.

I quite like the watercolor art and visual style. The story is "unfinished" (with the last update being three years ago), and the experience of what is there totaled about six minutes for me. The English translation is a bit rough in places, but overall mostly - I'd say like 98% - comprehensible. The one music track loops abruptly but is at least tonally fitting. I really do hope the developers continue this, but I'm unsure they will. I cannot say what is there is too worthwhile, other than throwing some pocket change at a project I hope will one day be completed. However, I bought this in the "The Complete Story" bundle and it's anything but. The second game, Diptych: The Great War, cost about $11 AUD on top of the aforementioned pocket change and feels even more like a tiny demo than this did. About two minutes of reading time, again.

Nice paintings, yet I've had 2 force quit in my 7 min reading experience. It happens when I click the change page button twice very fast. Fix that and I hope there'd be more gaming in it rather than merely a comic book

This is a watercolor and pencil in a visual novel, look at this cute dog! 9/10 for originality and unique style.

For example, the standard notebook and school exercise book of the ancient world was a diptych consisting of a pair of such plates that contained a recessed space filled with wax. Writing was accomplished by scratching the wax surface with a stylus. When the notes were no longer needed, the wax could be slightly heated and then smoothed to allow reuse. Ordinary versions had wooden frames, but more luxurious diptychs were crafted with more expensive materials. Etymology The word diptych is borrowed from the Latin diptycha, which itself is derived from the Late Greek δίπτυχα (díptycha) 'pair of writing tablets'. δίπτυχα is the neuter plural of δίπτυχος (díptychos) 'double-folded'.[1] Art Di…
