Given the dev has procedual animation with the creature shaking and shifting to give impression of weight, even better!

[@redacculous]

The execution makes the idea look really cool and creative, especially considering the limitations of a top-down environment

[@ron9174]

idea: regarding the "You can't pump a shotgun", perhaps you can make that a minigame of some sort? Like when the character locks himself in a room with one of the monsters trying to break in,and they see a shotgun alonside cartriges,but it's not a lever-action shotgun,so they have to line it straight up on the floor,pump the shotgun while using one hand to keep it up,and then reload it to then shoot the monster.

[@Tourettes-syndrome-gaming]

i like that

[@mahlawn2808]

I always love it when the thought process behind certain limitations ends up creating some really unique designs. A sideways crawling zombie is something I never thought of and yet it works so well here both mechanically and as a creepy design to give the parasites a distinct body horror aesthetic.

[@Bane_Amesta]

It kinda shows how accustomed we are to the usual zombie design and is kinda weird that no one else thought of this before

Yeah, thats gotta be one of the most unique zombie designs ive seen in a while.

​@@Sad_KittenGaming Word. Never would've thought of it before now

[@chimmichunker3955]

When you drag your body through puddles of blood, you should leave big streaks on the ground for a while, that persist until the end of the level. Also, you have the right idea at 1:14 , a good sequel is something that takes the mechanics of the first game and expands or adds onto them in a satisfying way. Maybe now that you have some decent scratch (hopefully) from the first game, you could hire on some help with stuff you find hard or time consuming to do yourself, maybe a good sound effects artist or music maker? I find that's what can really set the mood of a game for me, is good music and sound design. Another idea, maybe you could have a segment where you need to tie something heavy to you and drag it somewhere? It would be a good way to utilize the concept of only having one arm in a more horror-ish way, being slower than the monsters could make the whole section incredibly tense.

[@kenpalarold9476]

One of my favorite parts about Endoparasitic 1 is how you are the only one crawling, everyone else walks or runs and that is pretty terrifying. Of course the crawling monster is a great idea however dont leave the standing guys out since i believe that was one of the scariest parts of Endoparasitic 1.

[@tobenamed610]

there’s just not a good way to make standing enemies in a top down game like this, especially if the dev wants to make them more interactive and interesting. I thought his crawling design was scarier than anything in the first game

[@ASHtheSLUGCAT]

Really sells the idea that your at a disadvantage

[@mofo78536]

@@tobenamed610 maybe for standing enemies their head bobs around a bit and will indicate grey when you align it to the same position on the next head bob?

The monsters's weak spot doesn't have to be on the head. Maybe they could have short tendrils that hang on their side as the weakness (similar to Dead Space)

[@tmilker]

@@tobenamed610 More art but maybe they're only standing for the first shot, then they fall and crawl towards you since the only place you're really going to shoot them quickly is the feet/legs. Could also have a mechanic where if you aim right between the legs for the first shot, for a certain amount of time it flashes their head for headshot damage + knockdown.

[@arcee2499]

Ideas: adding uprades to Cynte's hand (only one can be actived at a time) For example: Laser sight: while aiming your gun, you can see where your shots will land Exo skeleton: increase distance which your hand can grab, or reduce/eliminate speed penalty from over-encumbered Compass: add a map, reveal items on the map based on where you have been to before Flash light: extend vision based on where your hand is facing Auto loader: automatically reload your guns (a bit OP, probably endgame gear)

Honestly wonder if the parasite regretted choosing the secretary instead. This guy is a beast.

[@silverdededestruction2197]

​@zaper2904 I imagine the parasite would have wanted more control over their host, so they chose the secretary who was weaker willed with mild delusions. It made sense on paper, it also made sense on paper to not choose our MC who was far more in control of his own will, and while delusional, would have wanted to dominate over the parasite instead. All of it made so much sense on paper. But the Parasite made a fatal error from this base judgement. A man who is too stubborn to die, a man who literally lost all three of his limbs, manages to best every single parasite mutant. With a grudge burnt into his skin, the parasite should have made him their host if they wanted to stay alive I honestly don't care if the MC becomes hyper evil, as long as it ends with him dominating the parasite and having it completely under his control, that's a well earned ending in my books. The MC is just that fucking incredible.

[@Street-Pigeons]

If you want the crafting system to be a little more different and interactive, you could make it so that you need to put the items together in the backpack itself. You could even make it so that you have to do drags, drops, shakes, and clicks as a part of an assembly process specific to the item you're crafting. For example if you drag nitroglycerine to an adreniline vial a drag thingy could appear at the end of the vial, untwisting the back when followed. You could then untwist the nitroglycerine bottle, drag it to the end of the vial to add, skrew it back on, and shake the vial to mix. Think like of something like the circles in OSU that tell you to click and drag. A crafting system like this would be pretty high effort but also very immersive and cool.

[@littlehorn0063]

Depends on the amount of items, though. If there is a lot of resources and you can craft many things with them, then this system would probably feel really tiring, as you would need to do all the steps each time

[@deltap6967]

You would have to manually disassemble the pen and then get the ink to combine it to make a bullet

[@michaelurmo7984]

Honestly, with the parasite being in the host for so long, you would think they would 1. become a symbiotic relationship instead of a, well, parasitic one, or 2. the host would become more resistant to the parasite's advances towards his brain. This is either really big brain of me or really small brain of me, idk.

Nah, that's a big brain thought

[@Hank-di2jb]

I mean I don't know about symbiotic relationship but becoming more resistant to it sounds logical

[@Happycide]

idk, i feel like if anything the malnourishment combined with the fact that he's constantly injecting himself with the antidote or whatever might make his immune system *weaker* and/or more resistant to the effects of said antidote. At the very least the parasite itself would probably be getting weaker since it's being denied the ability to feed on the guy's brain or whatever it wants to do

And if the player is loud before it leaves it hunts the player and you have to kill it otherwise it won't leave.

[@KingBanjo1217]

I mentioned it on the TikTok that you posted about this, but I think it would be a good idea to mention it again here. I would love to see a section where you have to explore in zero gravity, whether that be due to the gravity generators being broken, needing to go outside to fix an engine, or some other reason. I just love the idea of going into a zero gravity environment and having to balance between grabbing handholds to stay where you can move and having to grab guns to shoot monsters. You could also make the guns have different amounts of recoil that would launch you different amounts in the zero gravity environment. Either way this is still going to be an awesome game, and I cannot wait to get to play it!

I love how shooting the gun reveals the area and how you drag the bag with you. You could do two things with this: An extremly dark section where you need to shoot to see, kind of like the camera flash in Cry of Fear and other games. And also a section where some monster snatches your bag and you have to avoid all the monsters until you find the bag (kind of like when Daud took your gear in Dishonored or when your camera fell down the hole in Outlast) These are just suggestions. I'm not telling you how to develop your game since I love it already and it was totally unexpected to see a second game

[@vlad_ap5313]

Heya, a couple suggestions: - I love the "drag the syringe to the parasite to heal" idea, but it sounds very easy to trigger accidently, which would be extremely frustrating. A way to fix it would be making it that after dragging the syringe to the parasite, you need to click the "lever" thingie at it's side (with a highlight to make it obvious that it's interactable) to actually apply or, so you can choose to grab the syringe body and drag it away if you don't actually intend on using it (maybe clicking and doing a downwards movement on the lever would be even better) - For the puzzles, I love the idea, but I believe you should indeed have the option to disable them. Better yet would be having 3 options: "all puzzles", "simplified puzzles", and "no puzzles", but that's much more work ofc, so maybe just "on/off puzzles" would be more time efficient

[@ettiSurreal]

Small thing I noticed, the played body HUD seems to just be reused from the first game, which doesn't match the new malnourished look of the protag.

[@Bass-Ryou]

yea noticed it too its a good idea to implement

[@Tourettes-syndrome-gaming]

then they could make the belly protrude a bit like how real malnourished people look. I thank that would be cool

[@mcnulling_it]

For the shotgun, when you extend the tube to fit more shells, you have to extend the actual barrel which will in turn make the shotgun more accurate. I'd make it so that you get an extra shell + less spread or you could pick to fire slugs instead, which do more damage in general and are very accurate but can only hit a single target, unlike buckshot.

The stronger idea is to have some sort of answer key hidden in the level that a player can find to tell them how to solve it if they can’t figure it out for themselves. That way if they don’t feel like doing the puzzle they can instead complete it via engaging with the game and exploring more thoroughly rather than just sitting there for a couple minutes every time there’s a puzzle.

For the puzzles, it might help to have them all be of a much more similar style to each other, so the player doesn't have to start from square one every new puzzle

[@rnvr308]

I have a couple of ideas for the gunplay in the game: - At 6:27 the slide locks back after pulling the trigger, to make it more realistic, the slide would need to lock back immediately after the last round is fired. - At 6:00 Instead of loading the pistol through the top, it would be more realistic to load a detachable magazine by hand. This would also allow for in the future a possible upgrade for an additional magazine. The main problem with the pistol currently, is that it does not have the realistic space to chamber a round, since it is designed to be top loaded. That's all for now, if anyone reading let me know if there's any other ideas / advice.

[@RandomInternetStranger]

I actually think that a regular magazine would be fine for the handgun. Just make right-click or middle-mouse the eject button, where the magazine drops to the ground. You could quickly reload it from your bag, but you'll have to spend time to get your dropped magazine back. This is also easily upgradeable, as you could just put a rare gun somewhere and click on it to dispense the magazine, giving you an extra one. Incorporating the magazine loading would be fun, requiring you to hold it instead of a gun and slowly load it. It'd be pretty reminiscent of the panic-loading from the first game, but be powerful enough that one would justifiably put down a revolver in exchange for it.

Let's go, more monopod action. The pistol reminds me of the Steyr M1912 Hahn, except you loaded that gun through the ejection port, not the back of the grip. It has a look that I think fits this game's "scifi 1800's ocean liner" aesthetic very well.

Idea: on the ship there could be a cybernetics bay where the player could get a robotic arm, however the machine had run out of anesthesia so to get it installed would be a long and painful process that would attract enemies.

[@waffler-yz3gw]

i get where you're coming from but i dont think this is a good idea

[@strcmdrbookwyrm]

​@@waffler-yz3gw I think it's a good idea, as long as it doesn't give you another hand. Having just the upper arm could translate to boost in movement speed and/or carrying capacity, both of which which would be useful but wouldn't break the flow of the game. It could be explained by the machine only having an upper arm available and/or the character has suffered too much nerve damage for anything more to work. If you did get the whole arm, I think it could work as a sort of hook for interacting with the environment. Because you can only control the upper arm, you have to drag the other hand by the wrist to make it grab something. Then you can tug objects around while still moving like normal with your other arm. Basically, I think it can work as long as it doesn't give you another hand to use. This game is built around you having only one hand to perform actions. As long as the arm doesn't streamline things too much, I think it could be a fun addition.

[@Delta-007]

You could try to make the map non linear like Prey, where you can explore different parts of the ship at your own pace with some backtracking, main emphasis being on exploring, and how the entire ship progressively gets more and more infested with enemies the more you progress through the story, even areas you've already been in.

[@jakobsmolej7941]

Give this man 3 limbs and hes practically doomslayer

[@TheDanibits]

For the puzzles, have you considered introducing the different puzzles by having the first few be very easy, and then increase the difficulty? Similarly to how The Witness does it, where it is much easier to solve the most complicated puzzles once you've solved simpler ones, simply because the simpler ones introduce the different puzzle elements in a way that is easier to figure out.

[@Jomster777]

Man, the main character is bad ass going through all of that things he had gone through in the first game and still keeping strong in the second.

[@alewolfo8491]

Make a "realism mode" where you arm behave like a real one, I find funny how on game 1 you can go "weeee" when grapping on the floor and move the mouse like crazy

[@arcqx9676]

he just “naturally” has a big right arm from “lifting weights…”

[@iantaggart3064]

Low gravity. The lab was built on an asteroid.

[@kingsplayer8161]

Don't you just love it when game devs add actual great refrence like tiles and floor pattern , i am definitely buying this ..

[@Soundstrings]

i get its kind of dead now but 'indomitable human spirit' is one hell of a description for these two games

[@arcqx9676]

The zombie seeing a scientist with one limb point a shotgun at their face: 😮

[@brynshannon6692]

Oooohhhhh!! Very happy to see an indie series get a sequel and expand a universe. Gives me a lot of hope. Not enough indie games that I like do that, and I really want to keep up with a world, if I like it.

[@TheTrueMidknight]

You should add a feature where if the pistol runs out of ammo, you have to right click on an object to click the top back (I forgot the name). This adds a choice when you have one bullet left. Reload, and risk a zombie catching you while you do so, or shoot the bullet, and risk encountering a zombie with no gun.

[@jojolioned]

idea you need food to eat to survive maybe cooking parasites or eating them raw is an option and since your character has been with the parasite for 3 months your body has adapted to it so you will have more health and in exchange you become slower every 10 body drags because malnurish character

[@AliksStuff]

BET. I think that the health bar on MAIN MANS back should be more like the health from dead space, just because it looks weird to just have a whole in his back on his back. Maybe he slaps it on his back to try to stop the parasite but it doesn't work? idk

[@Technoci-]

Rumors told that the parasite goes inside his Butt. ( no joke )😮 Not sure if that works if this theory exist.

[@STANNco]

bro got no limbs and flips his revolver with every shot god damn. this looks incredible for real, though the cool interface and way you interact makes me want yo see a game where you have all your limbs, but control in a similar way

[@gobomania]

Excited for this project! A little feedback, in the health/item screen, having the parasite pulsate would be great! More so, when injecting healing audible pain grunts and heavy shake/pulsing for a moment would up the body horror! And finally, you can make a healing system where you can have three different craftable healing: - Normal healing: heals, but cause you to shake for a while after injecting. - Big healing: Same as above, just more healing. - Morphine healing: As normal heal, but reduce shakes after injecting.

[@wesleysebree3770]

also for the morphine healing if you take to much you will be addicted and that can slow you down or slowly make your hand move to inject the morphine.

[@DreadPirateOtts]

Oh man. This looks absolutely wicked from all angles - your vision for improving the game while staying true to its stylish elements is incredible. That shotgun looks badass. I love the detail of the danger pharmaceuticals - nitroglycerin is something a friend of mine takes, so i was aware of it - and it's just neat that the main character has adapted his intelligence to crafting a bunch of homemade munitions. Hell yeah.

[@The_Calcium_King]

I know he's malnourished and all that, but I feel certain muscles would still be MASSIVE since he's using nothing but his arm for locomotion Edit: comments have some good points to why not actually

[@Cake_soup]

But if he's not only missing limbs but also malnourished then he weighs less and has less to drag on the ground.

[@cctz_1]

How is his muscles gonna grow from getting worked out if hes getting no protein lol. Hes gonna be skinny

[@The_Calcium_King]

@@Cake_soup true I guess

[@deathrobot10k58]

@@The_Calcium_King I would think that the body, with limited resources, would rather spend that energy on keeping you alive than giving you a six pack

[@The_Calcium_King]

@@deathrobot10k58 there wouldn't be any sort of benefit for a 6 pack, but stronger arm muscles would. Also I admit I was wrong, I'm not an expert on muscle development

[@benwhite8157]

I have to say, the retro-futurism you’ve chosen a la Roarin’ 20s is such a unique and cool style. The Titanic in space? Heck yeah!

[@SadPizza4591]

you could make the puzzle levels pretty hard survival levels that you can skip by solving the puzzle.

[@NicholasKratzer]

Those sideways zombies are so creepy and cool! Definitely a great choice. Also, the lever action shotgun is awesome.

[@oz459]

Great video! Haven’t watched yet but I can tell it’s gonna be good from the preroll ads im getting

[@jojitcamero1705]

I really hope the bottomless floor level at 5:04 has a part where it forces you to move objects out of the way using your hand to move forward, and when the objects fall off, you will see them slowly fall down before disappearing into the darkness and making a loud noise. Hope he does this in some way cause it would really convey that the bridge is very high up, and making a wrong move would result in falling to your death. Also because It triggers the Fear of Heights

[@coltforceplayer]

The Lever Action Shotgun reload is not correct dude, you cock the lever thing as you flip it, so it should flip the other way

[@BlueEyesWhiteTeddy]

That zombie blew my mind that's insanely creative!

[@El_Asado]

how did they rip off 3 his limbs again i thought he only had 4

[@coolboi1232]

I think it's after the first game

[@Foxtrot-51]

If this & the previous game were to release on console I would definitely purchase it

[@leonhagen-be9px]

wait, on steam it says its comming out on october 1st. just asking, not trying to be rude?

[@bengt-goranpersson5125]

3:05 - That reminds me of Ultima VII, I wish more games would do that.... oh hey!!!

[@onlysmiles4949]

The top down headshot solution is genius, holy shit I never would've even considered that

[@etheundead]

I can’t wait to see what other variants we’ll see this run, the designs are always amazing
