Neat progress man :)! And it's so great that you're enjoying working on this project after all this time. Keep it up and take whatever time you need of course ;D! As for changing difficulty and Squid shaming you for doing so I think it's completely fine (I wouldn't mind anyway). As you said he's taunting you no matter what you do, so that just adds more flavor to the experience and is pretty hilarious!

Hey Jonas, so happy to see a video from you in my feed :). The basketball boss looks fun to fight.

[@PhyloGenesis]

Looks a bit boring to me tbh, mostly from how empty it is. I wonder if you put other elements in the room like adding walls that pop out so that the playfield changes a bit through the fight.

[@arhia6106]

@@PhyloGenesis It aint boring cause you keep looking at any ways to pass the ball faster to make the robot waste more battery, while also searching for any possible ways to quickly dunk on em. That keeps you engaged pretty much the whole time

[@LyricWulf]

For the easier difficulty voice line: You could place a voice line of Squid complimenting his "flawless program" or "superior code execution" (or something along those lines) so that he can still sort of trash talk without shaming the player. Also for difficulty up you could say stuff like "adjusting fitness parameters" or "adjusting training model" or something like that. I just think that a neural net reference would be perfect for a difficulty increase! Alternatively you could dynamically adjust difficulty based on time between deaths, or deaths for the current checkpoint, or something to that extent. Looks like an amazingly fun game so far, I can't wait to play!

[@lyrayamroot4515]

You motivated me to make a little puzzle game for fun, once I have a bit more time. I love how much you can transport your enthusiam for game development throught these videos. A few years back I bought the RPG Maker VX Ace but never ended up making a game, probably in part because I wanted to do something way too big right away. Especially your videos about like "50 Games in a day" or "Making a game in 72 hours" showed me how much more motivating it can be to make small projects you can finish in a reasanble amount of time. I also really enjoy the devlogs on will you snail, because it just shows how much work and thought goes into every detail of a game and how cleverly solved a lot of the mechanics of the game are behind the scenes. I'd say that I wish you'd make more videos, but hoestly you're already releasing a gigantic amount of videos if I consider that you're also developing a huge game on your own, so I'm really greatful that you take the time and I hope the added attention will ensure that your game is a huge success.

Ah, the typical struggle of an Indie dev. Remember: *You never finish a game. You release it.* I also am completely in love with the game I'm working on and I made some decent progress over the last weeks / months, but I don't even want to set a fixed decade in which it'll be done, yet, lol. Your boss explosions look really cool. You definitely figured out how to make effects "crunchy" and "not flat". I'm still far away from that but I actually found someone to help me with the sound design :) I'm looking forward to playing Will you snail. It keeps looking better and better.
