[@Earthborn-cn3kp]

They've got tons of vids like this

[@h3lblad3]

Some observations: Devs, even the artists, don't seem to understand theming. It's very common for changes to be made to the art that clash with the rest of the art. The ongoing "2D vs. 3D" problem is a huge example where tons of dev time is wasted by people who insist on changing assets from one to the other for some unknown reason. We had the same problem with the hand way back when. An early dev removed the poop mechanic because it damaged him. This broke not only the intro, but a later boss fight -- something that wasn't found until Ilprint about halfway through the video. The fix for this in the intro was to make knives spawn there, and for the boss fight the fix was to make the rocks secretly knives (is_knife). Then Ilprint gave the goblin bombs because it was useless. So, weirdly, what they did was this: - Got rid of the poop mechanic. - Broke parts of the game doing it. - Fixed the parts of the game that were broken. - Brought back the poop mechanic (only now it's bombs) ...Sigh... This happened because, once again, devs came in specifically looking to remove content. Why? I have no idea. One dev added the goblin companion that had no purpose because another dev already added companions. And he really wanted to add a companion, apparently. This companion is unlike all the other entities in the game, being a full 3D entity. It only "fits" because it fits the style of the environment. Yet it held no actual purpose. And I don't understand why it wasn't added as a choosable with the other 3 companions. Also, the devs need a talking to. Someone broke the rules by leaving a readme.

[@Finalslashes]

Theirs adding a stage and expecting another dev to polish it and and adding an entire movement mechanic which breaks an room by it’s existence

[@ilPrinni]

Yep Yep! Thats the danger of removing anything in this project. Not only do you not know what its required for, you also curse future devs with mysteriously broken mechanics with almost no evidence that it was there in the first place haha! Good observations! I never put together that the poop was how you damaged the spider boss, just assumed that someone accidentally changed the rocks to not be knifes since on paper that is really weird. I found the poop toggle but didn't have alot of time to play with it on, probably would have had some insights to realized the game is more playable with it on haha. When working my assumption was: - Game existed - Someone added a poop toggle for fun that was more aesthetic rather then - Someone implemented poop - Someone else turned it into a toggle I think its inevitable, that the later a project goes, the more likely any changes will require more and more effort to implement and fix. I think that's why A lot of the devs worked on UI (I myself even messed with the UI while deciding what to actually add since it was the safest thing to fiddle with (outside of bug fixes)). UI is pretty detachable from alot of the systems and has a much lower risk of breaking everything.

There are few rules to making a good game: 1. start at the end and work your way backwards - otherwise, it'll feel worse the farther you get, or you won't finish at all 2. restrict yourself to 2 core mechanics - if you try to balance more, you'll end up with at least one being crappy 3. make a vertical cut as soon as possible - it's the only way to see if your design decisions turned up fun 4. cheat - nothing in your game has to really do stuff, it must just look like it does ...and a bonus rule if you don't feel like working today: 5. promise yourself to read one line of your code before you go slacking* *) the hardest thing is to start

Thank you for update on this challenge. My thoughts: - Cartoon Coffee replaced initially cute and full of soul icons by bland and somewhat similar icons. His wizard rework is rather cute but he didn't catch his initial character. - Dev Menon addition of laser and second special effect is pretty dope as well as parkour level laser - Caleb Gilbert - I love Super Meat Boy - great start screen - Ahmet - absolute great mapping, appreciate your systematic way of thinking - Clipper - adding system from RoR 2 made game overly complicated. But as an estern european I can relate to the idea of "artistical silverlining" This transition of mushrooms from 3D to 2D and then back to 3D was rather fun Overal this challenge descended into total chaos. So bad some developers can't add something new and unique and end by destroying what other have created. Or otherwise - adding something that not follows already existing trajectory. However - this challenge is all about freedom of self expression. So it is fun to perceive everything as a part of an experiment, rather than to expect working product in the end.

[@isthismarvin]

To truly elevate this game, turning it into a procedurally generated rogue-like would be a game-changer. It would bring much-needed structure by categorizing items and spells, giving them unique, temporary, or permanent abilities. Players could discover these across various stages, rooms, or arenas, enhancing progression. Introduce a shop system where coins can be spent on health, mana, or new gear. Keep the focus on the hands-every item and spell could give them a unique costume. Maintain the platforming elements to preserve the fun, but tie everything together within a cohesive theme. A UI overhaul in pixel art style with more animations would really bring the game to life. Here’s hoping the next dev teams nail it!
