[@michaelgillespie8097]

I realized that swarming sheargrubs in pikmin 3 also follow this boid principle. They almost always consider the actions of their neighbors, try to stay together in a group, respond collectively when attacked, and form larger groups when they meet or reunite with other swarming sheargrubs.

[@McSandwich121]

This is the sort of video I love. Going super in depth on tiny, almost insignificant, details in games, and not just talking about what happens, but showing WHY those things happen. It shows just how much love and care goes into game designing.

[@lucaspec7284]

it's amazing how much work as gone into the title screen that most people just ignore every time they start the game, it really shows the amazing work the devs have done

[@gavin5410]

Extra pikmin makes sense to make the logos generate somewhat quickly, I can imagine how long it would take for that last pikmin to find a place and get in it if there was only exactly enough of them to make the logo

[@litterallyahuman2402]

[@GravityGuava]

[@baaaldur]

I really like interactive and quirky title screens like this.

[@abitscatterbrained]

That's really cool, but what I want to know is if it's possible to change the set of coordinates that the Pikmin use for the different logos, essentially allowing you to draw whatever you want on the title screen using the Pikmin.

[@ScruffyMusic]

+Scatterbrain In the same package as the "param" folder is a "logo" folder, which holds three files defining the coordinates for Pikmin in the Pikmin 2 logo (Japanese and otherwise) and Nintendo. The file is just a bunch of numbers representing X and Y coordinates, so in theory you just have to change them to redraw the logo. But it would take a lot of patience.

[@Weldedhodag]

could you add extra pikmin? has games repainted done this game yet? Oh boy if they figure out the title screen stuff that'd be good for comedy

[@Kingman524]

Scatterbrain this was done with 🅱️ikmin actually so yes

[@clonefighter1996]

@Scruffy “Otherwise” is meant to be “International”, right?

[@pixelartkid7965]

@@clonefighter1996 yes.

[@clairifedverified2513]

Imagine if it worked like a sports game and you could individually control each pikmin one at a time while cycling through. Love you Scruffy.

[@redpixl243]

pk03, from what I can tell, seems to be how close the pikmin can be in a group before they are forced to disperse.

[@WafflesMoguMogu]

8:32 I want that emergence cave music

[@BigHailFan]

One reason Pikmin 2 far outclasses 3. It feels like it just has so much more...soul put into it. It's so extensive and fun and has so much attention to detail.

[@johnclark926]

I wish I could figure out what they did to the Pikmin AI between 2 and 3, I’m not a fan of how every army in 3 trails like a snake and has weird jittery movements among the Pikmin instead of a single unit with no jittery movements like the original 2.

[@BigHailFan]

@@johnclark926 agreed. 3's pikmin seem seriously dumb. they get stuck on ledges, behind walls, and can't grab onto items.

[@Kimarnic]

soul vs soulless

[@fairweathertrains3029]

13:13 is probably my favourite. The way it seems so chaotic yet perfectly builds the logo from right to left is very satisfying. Really cool video

[@mars5train601]

Being perfectly on time, the PK12 value dictates how much being far from a target point should increase movement speed

[@iamnoone21]

This is such a cute, entertaining, and informative video--it kinda feels like that experiment where spiders are given different drugs to see what their webs end up like lol

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

This is probably the third or fourth time I'm rewatching this video. Man these videos are great.

[@RS-fz4ps]

Omg I’ve waited for that press start to appear soo many times, I knew right away

[@ExGanonMain]

For the Nintendo logo you can press the - button on the left joy con, for the bulborb press the right stick and press the left and right buttons to steer the bulborb, press the up button to move foward and press ZL to eat pikmin, and the for flint beetle press the left stick and press the left and right buttons to steer and press up to move foward. Those are the controls for them on the Nintendo switch

[@nate5862]

A pikmin is a pikmin, you can't say it's only half.

[@Matozu]

This was an awesome watch, thanks for taking the time to do it! I love the Pikmin series dearly, so little things (or in reality, BIG things) like this further makes my love grow for them!

[@GummyPikminProductions]

Imagine setting TP15, 16 and 17 at 0.1 (or 0) each and watching the purples and white run as fast as they can to leave the studio

[@jaifaimonmangequand]

You need so many more subscribers. These Pikmin videos are awesome, keep up the incredible work!

[@LokeSandwall]

Some of the ways the logo could have been made are so cool I kinda wish they could cycle through them in the actual game!

[@kylethenoble1211]

why am I watching this? WHY AM I ENJOYING IT.

[@cornmono3665]

So cool. I love hearing you talk about taking apart these programs. It's like listening to my brother do what I myself would do if I had his degree.

[@NonisLuck]

Fascinating. I had a lot of fun pkaying with the title screen and there is so much more to it

[@startide]

Awesome work, that's very cool to watch ! Gotta appreciate the love and care nintendo put into this, and yours as well explaining it to us !

[@Antibeck]

Scruffy, I love your analysis videos. So much effort, and unique and good info.

[@SnorelyBorely]

I take this as, not him looking through the code of the game, but him poking and prodding at little Pikmin “brains” and seeing what happens when you change certain areas of their “brain”.

[@pikamario99]

Okay wow, Boids are fascinating and I must know more about how to use them

[@Morningshark]

Man, it's crazy how many variables were used for this!

[@jademonass2954]

that last edit you did was SO cool imagine that in the real game!

[@AhmedAli88]

you have no idea how much I appreciate those kind of videos ...

[@doommustard8818]

I'd guess that pk04 "taste" controls how many pikmin (maximum) can be eaten by each bite the Bulborb takes, since it defaults to 5 and that is the normal number that can be eaten, or the location relative to the bulborb that get eaten. since neither of those seem to be covered by any other variable. Distance proportional speed factor is probably some distance that the pikmin need to achieve to just snap into the correct coordinates since floating points will rarely exactly equal the location they need to get to, and they don't want the pikmin just running in circles. It's probably also effected by their speed.

[@samusmustacheyouaquestion6375]

That’s such a cool way to test features for actual game play?? It’s a mini showcase! One that, even with out most realizing it, gets you acclimated to seeing the pikmin move! I remember when my Dad would get me to set up when he would play; I’d mess with the title screen till he was ready! I love how in-depth you went too! Explaining each file in an easy to understand way, and with excellent demonstration! I love your videos Scruffy!

[@ryanl3500]

Thanks for this. I've tried programming pikmin crowds and this video was really insightful.

[@Plub64]

[@andrewosegueda2283]

I like this... very analytical I can tell alot of time was put into this, even your video I saw the little embedded details in your editing.

[@DavoGatoArchive]

I greatly enjoyed this. Nice work!

[@KrypXern]

Very cool. You should do more game analysis like this. I always used to love screwing around with files in Rome: Total War when I was younger.

[@DistantKingdom]

This was incredibly interesting. Pikmin is so cool!

[@mossasaur]

I love all the different ways the pikmin make the logo, slowly forming it or just fhdbdbbfbfhnf and then “PIKMIN” it’s great

[@ChesuMori]

That's really interesting! I wonder why they put in all that effort... Did a couple programmers have nothing to do while other parts of the game were being finished?

[@Katthemusicfox]

Probably

[@romajimamulo]

They also might have had like, a standard library of boid code around, but it still would have been a lot to tweak all of those parameters

[@ChesuMori]

@@romajimamulo …Not gonna lie, I have no idea what this comment is about because it’s from seven years ago 😂

[@azericthetraveller6355]

I feel like the tsp8 should be left at 300 all the time, cause it creates a mesmerizing effect when the logos form.

[@jaymiles1078]

7:22 when your going up on what seems like a mountain on a roller coaster

[@WholesomeDemonKastis_a_shlump]

Does no one else realize that there are only allowed to be 100 Pikmin on the surface, but this title screen clearly has more?

[@DapperCody]

[@JellicleCatz]

I’ve never played pikmin, but this is really interesting

[@ThornHailsnap]

Well let me be the first to tell you, if you're going to play any game in the series, play this one. Pikmin 1 is very limited, both in time in in what you can do. Pikmin 2 is much more open in all regards, plus there's a 2-player mode. Pikmin 3 can actually be unfairly punishing at times, wonky and somewhat disappointing, especially towards the end. However. If you do choose 1 I recommend the original, Gamecube version over the remade Wii version. And if you choose 3, I'll tell you right now: your job is to make juice, but a few days in someone comes and steals everything you've got, so don't do more than you absolutely have to to progress until that happens. Dumb, I know, but it's less frustrating than being robbed of all your progress after doing so much, so well.

I think the extra pikmin are for the ones who get eaten.

[@helix2331]

7:22 made me laugh more than it should have

[@Virtually_Char]

If I made the logo I would have gave it more tsp9. I liked that group build of the logo from right to left at the end there.

[@MarioFRC32]

I'm sad that, because we have a new, simpler logo, this won't ever be done again 😔

[@siydge]

Skruffy: {pk07}{pk08}{pk10} and {pk09} are *just* animations *sound of intense earthquake and fear*

[@CreatorofSecks]

Ngl now I wish I was able to play with these parameters

[@The_Moth1]

I think “convergence distance” controls how far away Pikmin convene to form a new logo

[@TheAnimationStationTAS]

I'm just going to make a random assumption here about PK12 and PK03 So with PK12 i'd assume that if all pikmin walked at the exact same speed they would't make it back to the title on time in sync, so depending on their distance they'll either go slower or faster, I don't know, And with PK03, based on the fact its called convergence, I guess its supposed to be the amount of distance they travel before stopping or something, cause Convergence in math involves a number that goes to a defined number (or something similar, I can't remember) But I have no idea what i'm talking about so nobody quote me on this please EDIT : I'm going to look more into PK04/Tsurukogane, which After a google translation I found out its two separate words, so then I went to a translation sight, and Tsuru means to Catch/Lure In/Attract/Entice ETC. , and Kogane translates to either gold or small sum of money, so maybe it has something to do with the iridescent flint beetle.
