It's important to reflect on what you learn each episode. This episode we learned that tango is a madman

[@cineblazer]

I think you mean this *season* we've learned that Tango is a madman. I swear he just goes further off the deep end every upload

[@nikolesandy937]

Ten years ago, I was surfing KZbin and randomly clicked on a let’s play video by a dude I’d never heard of named TangoTek. In the first episode, he said, “A lot of you guys are probably wondering “Who is this guy, and do I really want to start watching another LP series? Well I can tell you the answer is yes.” I thought, Okay, we’ll see about that. Now, a decade later, I can say with all sincerity, Yep! He was correct! This custom UI is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my Minecraft life. Thanks for still being a maniac! -GrampyRick

[@PBTophie]

@@Flash4ML It's not difficult to remove an item from an item frame, check it, then return it. I'd say this item is very practical. Although, the map would always hold the same position when you put it back, but that's pretty cool. Base decor with plasticity.

[@thenullprofessor5442]

@@Flash4ML if i remember correctly, maps update just as long as one person is loading the map itself! If you don't lock the map you're given, simply placing it in an item frame on the wall would still allow it to update in real time. Of course, I may be wrong, but it would still be a cool decoration to place in a base either way

[@frederiklenk7756]

UX designer here: The contrast on the red text “hazard block” against the grey background is too low and is going to be hard for some viewers to read. I recommend another color or changing the background to something brighter! Good luck:)

I came here to say this. Brighter or darker.

[@crisgaret]

While I get the tone is dark. The map being lighter colours could also help with the low light readability.

[@pietincat]

The HUD is incredible! One small thing from a graphic designer who works a lot with accessibility design online: even in full light the Hazard Block text is really low contrast and will be hard for some people to read. I’m not sure if there is any color blindness or small vision impairments amongst the hermits, but you may want to consider either making the background of the text darker, or making the text lighter.

[@AstralArbourSys]

I was gonna say the same thing, the text on that one needs to be lighter

[@Peter-yw5bl]

I could barely read it, it was very blurry for me tbh, and I'm not even colourblind.

If you wanted to save on a little lag and recycle 80% of those pistons, observers and rails, you should be able to use slime and honey blocks under the counters. Instead of pulling each block per piston pull down a row of 5 with a piston and some slime. Also a few lightning rods might be a good idea with the exposed TNT. Still it's an Amazing idea for visual indicators.

There is no hazard level

[@lewando7687]

I work in automation. What tango is creating is called an HMI (Human Machine Interface). Very cool!

[@unicyclingistheshit]

Is it not just more of a screen as opposed to an HMI? The map isn't accepting inputs from the user, it's just showing the progress of the game. Now, if the map was interactable and the player could change the state of the dungeon with the map, then it would be an HMI

[@somesillyname9714]

im newish to minecraft and so S10 has been the first hermitcraft series i've paid attention to beyond knowing that it's a thing that exists, but i got algorithmed into watching a bunch of S9's decked out runs last night and while those are SUPER fun, the thing really running through my mind was "someone BUILT this????????" the map interface in particular blew me away and honestly i think hunting down these episodes where you're pulling the game together has only made me more impressed. wow. like, dude i hope you're proud of what you created here because it is, unbelievably cool

honestly, sometimes i just forget that tango is genuinely an absolute madlad and then he pulls something like THIS and im like “ohhhh yeah that”

[@ssmedition2000]

I know this is probably too late to get noticed (or changed), but personally I feel the "Clank Blocked" and "Hazard Blocked" fields should be more of "total amount of" type field so as the player goes through the game they have a visual representation of the danger level increasing. This could add a sense of urgency (particularly with Hazard) and/or relief as they see the meter go up and then down when a card is played. As its designed right now, if the player runs out of blocker cards they will have no visible indication that anything is changing related to those two systems. Just my 2 cents

[@tempesto7559]

When they run out of cards, both will go up since there are no cards to block them, so you don't want to sit in the dungeon forever. I think there is already is a sense of urgency, and it builds up the longer you are un the dungeon. All the cards do is prevent the next clank/hazard from being produced, giving you more time to stay in the dungeon. In Tango and Zeds stream, when zedaph ran out of cards, all the doors and walls started closing, so there is some visual indication for it

[@ssmedition2000]

@@tempesto7559 they won't go up on the map though. It'll just sit there "empty" until they exit or get eaten. Yes there are other indicators (heartbeat and blocked passages) but imagine the feeling of having the clank bar on the map steadily increase as time goes by and then getting a lucky card pull and having it drop back down again. I also realized while typing that out that the game might not even function that way.

[@Muskar2]

@@ssmedition2000 As far as I know, clank and hazard never drops. It only increases. And the blocks prevent it from increasing

[@jeremykeegan8090]

Tango, when it’s all done you need to tally (if it’s even possible to estimate) totals, for redstone, pistons, observers, blocks dug, etc. This is the most impressively insane project ever, and the interface is pure genius and did in fact blow my mind. Hats off to you!

Wow that card idea is insane! Also it does mean that if one person is playing, everyone else on Hermitcraft could see how well they're doing to some extent (and see if a game is in progress) by watching the map art. Plus, even before the game is out, it's a bit of a teaser as to how the treasure, hazard, etc works.

[@CourteousH]

This is incredible! Consider making a higher contrast divider for every 10 card group in the UI so that players can get a quick count of remaining cards.

[@VictorianRose553]

Shout to Cub and Joe for their help. This is such a cool design Tango and it definitely opens up some cool possibilities! If you have hermits asking to help maybe someone could do the viewing/spectator room - especially if there is going to be group livestreams. Also, depending on where it is, someone could do the design for the black market. Hopefully that would help you out without messing with the game.

Incredible!

That way you could remove the lengthy “clank blocked” audio and improve game feel. Same goes for hazard. It’s hard to hear ravagers, item drops, and ambient audio as it currently is

And vintage beef should make a “house” of cards

[@JonathanCorwin]

@@BandidoDescalzo I'm not sure it's about being sad and grumpy - it's about not having enough time to play TCG, due to the immense amount of work needed to finish Decked out before the end of the season!

[@kittenredkat]

that'll only happen after he's finished decked out and it's working fully. but that'd be great to see.

[@myrandamiller91]

I love EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS! A map being used as a UI is friggin genius!

[@RiderKnight_]

When the thing you're developing to be feature creep actually becomes an important debugging tool! I will say I love it when this happens in the development cycle

2:52 I love the little ice patches the look amazing! Thank you Joe!

Hey Tango, talk to Pearl about her area becoming a mid game shop as she is feeling iffy about the design in comparison to the rest of the chaos caverns.

[@nimifisch.6134]

That's a cool idea! It could one random card, or a chance to have a discounted card so its a risk to make the journey over there for the discount

[@PseudoEntropy97]

She just released an episode where she rebuilt the area with a new design.

[@Titanblade17]

@@PseudoEntropy97 Yeah, I made this comment 7 hours ago. That video came out 4 hours ago. Check your timing there bud. Also, it doesn’t change my original statement. It can still be retrofitted.

[@Muskar2]

@@Titanblade17 I doubt it was a correction. It was probably just an update. This isn't a test

[@Titanblade17]

@@Muskar2 Pearl had said in an earlier update that she wasn’t happy with the design, so she changed it. It could still be a mid game shop.

[@TobiasL_05]

You should have 1 map hanging close by the door so other hermits can look how someone's run is going so far!

[@MichaelMoore99]

Or, even better... a glass platform behind the castle as a "spectator area" where they can watch the "big map" update. Get some Scar-land Popcorn stands to snack on as you watch the progress. It'll be great!

[@beachybird1251]

Tango living his best life is so joyful and inspiring. Not only does he continually surprise us, he seems to surprise himself at times at how skilled he really is! The Feels are just so good!

[@M113sAldrich]

Hooray more decked out

[@nanacakez]

You guys never cease to amaze me. Animated cards!?!? Who knew you could do that! My mind is blown.

[@shadow368]

Me at the start of the episode: There’s no way this is going to work Me once the Map has been made: Tango, you absolute mad lad!!!

[@da_leen]

For future 'Feature Creep' ideas, I'd recommend thinking of a Season 2 of Decked Out where you can pull the game offline for a few weeks/months, implement the new ideas, and open it back up. It'd add a fresh atmosphere to the game, and you could mix up the items being given, new card effects could change certain mechanics, and so much more. In tech, there's an idea known as an MVP (minimum viable product). Starting from there, you set yourself up with a barebones app that allows for growth.

[@aulvinduergard9952]

You could always let people keep the interface map, that way you'd essentially have 'spectator mode' for everyone who is *not* in Decked Out and they could see how the current player is doing. XD

[@JoshuaHayes6]

If you could have seen the smile on my face and the excitement building up inside of me when you put water down and had the map update immediately, what an amazing idea!

[@EmrysMaier]

8:30 6,422 - impressive that you actually accurately guessed the exact number of runs that would be done in Decked Out 2 this season 😁.

[@killingmaddie]

This is the first proper Tango video i've ever watched. Have been hooked on the Decked Out VODS, can't wait to go back and watch how this incredible game was made.

[@insceldaron]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but it might be a good idea to place some instructions in the entry area, instructing players to check if TangoCam is online, and how to position their alt-account if not

[@tiramisuterror5337]

This is a really good idea! It also allows players to continue running if tango can’t have his cam account on for whatever reason

[@queenraven007]

not all players have a cam account though..

[@liamengram6326]

​@@queenraven007 Every hermit has a cam account, it's just that a few of them no longer use them because freecam is a thing now.
