HermitCraft S7#28: Hurtin Hermits

Minecraft Server. We change things up today by starting a new, massive mini-game project called Hurtin Hermits. The Hermits will have to race time through a barrage of obstacles, puzzles, and death thingys.
Then we check out our new Nether Portal area and Piglin bartering system. Tango comes over to give me an amazing Decked Out prize and we finish up with a few lucky runs.

[@saniancreations]

When you mentioned you'll have an EnderPorter at the lobby I thought of an idea. Landing an ender pearl deals falldamage, so if the player is still at one heart, they will probably die. That's something to keep in mind when teleporting them back, but also... it could be a mechanic! You essentially have a mechanism for killing the player at any point regardless of where they are standing! There could be a part with a time limit where the player is forced to throw a pearl to enter and they have to finish before time runs out, or they'll be killed instantly! You could also use some mechanism with water where the player has to use the flow of the water to lead the ender pearl to a safe place, that would be cool.

[@mme.veronica735]

[@richarddurkee4617]

This is so cool

[@Klffsj]

Good catch! I simple health pot dispenser at quitting stations should fix it.

[@aozzya1563]

[@CorneliusThroatworthy]

or give them a bow that they can use to hit a out-of-reach button (where they can reach it if they stray off the main path, but have to jump over some hazard, so having a bow & the one arrow would make it easier for them

A fun level would be a maze with multiple ways to go but there's one endermite chasing you down the whole time so you have to check corners and be cautious. Also with the endermite in minecart concept you could have a frogger style level where there are a bunch of endermites in carts bouncing back and forth so you have to get through them.

[@jamesmcclelland9611]

@Optimistic Exactly. although that does mean that he would have to cram in another microbrewer for each location if Etho doesn't want to deal with restocking it. and then adding a delay to the ender porter as well. But It also has to heal enough so that if a ender mite spawns that the player doesn't die again.

[@bly6666]

Suggestion: You can make a puffer fish maze, you could implant puffer fish into the floor so the hermits would have to find a way through it without dying or running into puffer fish .

[@seegurkekiller]

Level Idea: "Collapsing Mineshaft" -> underground level where the player moves over minecart tracks, having to swap carts to survive; maybe being followed by mobs in minecarts or occasional lava flow they have to avoid/run away from Additionally: underwater level that they can just barely make with the oxygen they have

[@xXMordSchlagXx]

Very cool idea of a mini-game and I'm super excited to see you finish it eventually :D

[@Zuper4Man]

Might it be possible to print out player times using maps? Have pistons write out the time oriented skyward at the end of each run, maybe above the lobby, and then have players use a map to "print" out the time on the map. These printed times could then be hung under each player's head, sort of like in decked out.

[@JoshAlex1986z]

Suggestion for the death game: Leave an Ender Pearl for players to grab. Some of them might absentmindedly try to use it (the first time at least).

[@maxsturm2434]

Hey Etho, have you considered adding a sign at the lobby that says “watch out for shortcuts”. To entice the hermits to use shortcuts that sends them to obvious various deaths. The phrasing is important “watch out for shortcuts” is kind of like a trick, a “hey i warned you”, if you will. Shortcuts that lead to instant pit falls, zombie trap, etc. i know timing is important too so consider what you will. awesome work!

Hermit deaths that will lead to unique death messages: cactus, fireworks, sweetberry bush, a swimming tube that's just long enough to not take drowning damage, aggro llama (would be so funny). Love the concept of this minigame!

[@BlueCyann]

General level suggestion -- where there's parkour of any kind, load it toward the end of the level, so someone dying there can easily get back with what they've learned, and don't feel like they're constantly stuck not getting anywhere. I really love the idea of deadly but easily avoidable surprises such as the arrow at the start of the first level. Like the obvious spot to stand to survey the next challenge turns out to be exactly where a piston will push out to knock you off a 4-block fall on a timer. Stuff like that -- they die the first time, curse your name a few times, but it's no challenge after that. (Except to figure out where else to stand!)

[@TheAtomBuilds]

Yeah nice suggestions

[@WilcoVerhoef]

Yes those surprises are great! But it's even better if they are at least somehow predictable (but never really will be predicted), just so it doesn't feel like getting killed randomly. And for those that do see through the trap, it's a nice little proud moment.

A possible obstacle for the game could be two minecarts moving side by side, and the player would have to switch between them to avoid suffocation damage etc.

[@seppforcher4714]

minecarts don't do damage

[@gregorygarrison572]

@@seppforcher4714 I think they mean kind of like the game subway surfers, multiple lanes and the minecarts pass under blocks so you have to avoid the blocked lane.

@@seppforcher4714 Oh, good. Who is Bumbo (is it Mumbo?), what video? was it within the last month so I don't have to scroll through infinite videos (maybe link it)? Riding a minecart under a solid block will do damage though as shown in this video at 17:55 at the end of the rail.

[@crow6856]

wow 'to kill a tango' looks different than i remembered

[@PhoenixFlamezz]

Ways to kill hermits in no particular order 1. Swim though tank of infested with Pufferfish. 2. Have a skeleton or a guardian shooting at the player through part of level. 3. Have them dodge falling anvils. 4. Cactus,sweet berry bush, wither rose, or even a fire maze. 5. Fireworks, nuff said. 6. Instant damage potions. 7. Have a small magma cube in a small area to dodge renamed 'Most noobish death ever'.

[@Muskar2]

I was thinking the anvils were too expensive for him to keep stocked, but I guess he can just use one of the shulkers he just got. I like all these too.

[@KarkaranosBuilds]

Hmm...I wonder where you got number 7 from...totally not the “How to Kill a Tango” challenge

[@PhoenixFlamezz]

@@KarkaranosBuilds It's actually been kind of a long running gag in the series. Its been mentioned many times in various episodes and streams.

[@lorihoman128]

You could try a Simon- Says sort of level using note blocks. Different buttons could play sounds. In order to continue, you need to play the pattern of sounds in the right order, which could open a door or unlock something. This game sounds so fun! Great work as always! Idk if simon-says is the right game, so hopefully you'll understand lol.

[@imcarter]

More like the among us task in reactor. Or bop it even

[@snowsun538]

It's called simon and he already made this in his single player world as its own project. It was way too complicated to put as a small part of this game. Love the idea though!

[@thefinkie6459]

Stress did that in her Mansion, and it worked pretty well... until Joe tried it. He's tone deaf, so was physically unable to complete it.

[@KAMDOLLARSIGN]

@@snowsun538 he tired doin it visually, sonically would be much easier.

[@Zolbi]

I love how thoughtful you're being with the level design for your new game! I was thinking it might help the respawn wait time seem shorter if you had a little respawn jingle every time they die? I also love the idea of sets and all the different zones/themes hermits could create, I think an elytra theme would be really difficult to make but it also sounds really fun!

[@Airazor]

The thunder made that run even more epic. XD

[@Sredleg]

Etho, in case you're still looking for a way to hide the start-point elevator: just make it into a big jungle tree.

[@tinylittleworm2264]

Given that Etho is the king of shenanigans this season, I would love to see a return of the "You've been Etho'd" art from his Single Player World! Maybe as map art so he can leave it as a calling card when he messes with the other hermits

[@wyrdvora]

Yes

You should put a “Watch your head” sign above the spot where they can suffocate in the minecart!

[@ipsum2224]

I think one of the things that makes etho’s videos great is just how much he plays the game. He makes off camera progress on hermitcraft, his survival world, sometimes terrafirmapunk... I honestly don’t know how this man can fit so much minecraft and video editing into one week. Keep it up!

[@hermimonk2748]

I'm SOOO excited for your new minigame! It reminds me of Super Mario Maker, which is one of my favorite games to watch. There may even be some good inspiration for traps in the troll level design community there. Im sad to see decked out go, it was so cool and I hope it comes back in some way. Great episode!

Etho flexing his almost instant teleportation system XD and a suffocating trap could be possible

[@xolimono]

maybe a small thing could be picking up the arrows shot from dispensers to open doors and such later on, kind of like the cubes in Portal in a way. that way the purpose of arrows isn't only to kill you, but it also becomes a puzzle mechanic of sorts

[@apfton]

This is gonna be the next decked out. Etho's style this season is sO perfect for level design!
