I've only bought 2 games in EA ever, after doing my homework first since I trust most EA devs as far as I can throw them. I've seen too many titles where they take your money and never bother to finish the game, citing that being in EA means the game never has to actually be completed. Which, if you're keeping score at home is BS. Edit: Thise games were Vagante and Caveblazers. Both run by passionate devs that don't screw you for your money or give up the ship. --- My roguelike, Equin: The Lantern! https://store.steampowered.com/app/547980/Equin_The_Lantern/ |

| Black_Crusher 07/17/18 11:02:15 AM #97 | So what I think I'm going to do is to keep the timer but since he's resurrected anyhow maybe how much he assists the people determines your next game? For when he's resurrected again. Or possibly act as a lives counter: "Three resurrections to help us or you're out!" Maybe this could be how you unlock new weapons or gain powers to use right from the start. Trying to do something different is hard haha. Progress: Shield blocking is complete, some new enemies made, a big optional section has also been made that leads to the Zweihander in a pool of water with killer fish. There's a nearby readable plaque that explains the weapon a bit and informs the player that you can't use a shield while it's on. The main treasures will all have these. I kept the sequence breaking flail thing from before only this time I put it at the bottom of the basement where players can get it faster than the normal progression method suggests with the freezing of the bats and etc. There's another lesser prize up there though in its place. Added a switch that, when hit from above, lowers a big ladder down and creates a nice shortcut. And if you have the blue Wand that shoots upwards and diagonally you can hit this switch from below and avoid having to activate it from above. So it's sort of sequence breaking planning for the future I guess. Oh and you can use either the D Pad or shoulder buttons on a 360 controller to sift through your weapons quickly which ended up being pretty useful. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

I hate when items are constantly teased in the beginning, by either showing them in the room just out of your reach until the end of the game, or flooding the early areas with blocks, doors, or passages that you need the item for. One or two times of the former is fine, but a lot of it, or both feels cheap and undercuts the impact the ability would have had if it was downplayed. And it forces backtracking to the beginning. Uh oh haha, back to the drawing board! Naw just kidding but there is a teeny bit of that. It's not too terrible. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

Haven't started it yet; surprised to see some negative opinions here. I have it too, and it's just okay. It feels like it would've been a pretty decent yet not classic NES game. It's not nearly the next coming of Super Metroid. It was made by one guy and for that I can relate and respect he was able to reach loads of people and make tons of money off it though. Can I do better? Maybe not, but I'm going to try my ass off regardless. You know what I really enjoyed that I haven't seen mentioned here yet? Salt and Sanctuary. Aside from ripping the bejesus off of Dark Souls' UI it's really fun. Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions, everyone.

| Black_Crusher 07/14/18 1:45:30 PM #86 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Another thing that irks me is when scored for how much of the map is revealed while also being scored on time. Taking the quickest route through a room normally doesn't reveal every square of the map. For that to count it's often necessary to reach corners of the room you had no reason to traverse. I'm not 100% sold on the timer aspect to be honest. I wanted to try something different however when playing Zelda MM right after OOT the timer was something I really hated. I might just make it straight up HP, I don't know. And of course different doesn't always mean good. If Metroid had a timer I never would've found many cool things my first time through. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

I don't mind the minimalist style, I find it intriguing, but some of them go too far. So far there are several objects you can interact with to gain more insight. Like the dead guy in the picture above, or road signs, pieces of art and etc. I think I'll have a section where you can view power ups and weapons in more detail. Kind of like a beastiary but for your stuff. A library sounds appropriate. It'd be a good place to explain the aux effects of weapons players might not know about. So while this won't have a Navi 2.0 leading you all over the place it also won't be a total dumping of you on the middle of nowhere with no idea of what to do or how to play (a previous criticism I plan on rectifying here.) I've changed some aspects of the torch weapon to keep it more realistic, now that I have several bodies of water. You can't attack with the torch while on water no matter what. The torch swing animation is immediately canceled if you jump in water while attacking with it too. Also- and more importantly- Any dark room you're in that's been lit up by the torch is poofed back into darkness if you're in any water. A little 'X' appears over its icon in the corner to let you know that fire and water don't mix. I smell some cool puzzle ideas with darkness and water that utilize these mechanics coming. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

| Black_Crusher 07/14/18 9:34:11 AM #79 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I don't like complex move sets to reach secret areas. A recent example is in Axiom Verge. To get the Bioflux Accelerator 2 you have to aim up-left, run and jump left, launch a remote drone at the height of your jump, translocate with the drone, and finally warp through a wall. The command to warp is a double tap in a given direction which on it's own was difficult when using a 360 controller. As much as I love Super Metroid I could never get diagonal shine sparking down. So far in mine you might have to dash + jump to get to a couple places but it's not hard to pull off. I added a cool way to sequence break the beginning but it might be too good, what do you think: Suggested Normal progression- Leave base camp Go down a ladder to a little underground area and get the dagger Buy the key at a shop for low $ Go back to where you got the dagger and open a door to a big dark area At the end of this area is the torch in a statue room on the left and a pile of rocks on the right Go back to another section of the castle, use the torch to burn a bush and enter the castle basement There's some flooded hallways. Up above is a chest that you can't get by jumping and some bats. At the end is the pile of rocks from before, which is the other side of the statue room. To get that chest, which contains the flail, you'll need to buy a sword at another later shop and then dip it in that statue's fountain which changes it into the icebrand. You can use icebrand to freeze bats and climb on them. Use it to freeze the bats in that basement chest room to get up there and grab the flail. Using the flail you can now smash that pile of rocks and make a great shortcut to the statue room- an important room in the game. Sequence-break-o-rama- I made a false wall inside the very first room of the castle entrance. Jump through it and fall down a small pit, which lands you on a ledge that contains the flail in that chest. Drop down into the water and smash the pile of rocks and gain immediate entry to the statue room and grab the torch early. Take the torch and go back through the basement and come up and burn that bush from the other side. In 2 minutes you now have 2 weapons early (and way earlier when it comes to the flail). Of course without seeing the map none of this will likely sound right, but this is the sort of map structure I'm trying to build. Though it seems OP to grab these so early it really only affects the early sections of the game, kind of like how the master key in Dark Souls let's you go places early but it doesn't automatically win the game for you. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

| Black_Crusher 07/13/18 8:47:22 AM #62 | I do think though obviously there's weapons and stuff the focus on this should be exploration over combat. To that end, enemies act more as annoyances than anything else. The bosses will be where the challenge factor comes in. Another aspect of Metroidvania games that the above poster mentions is how every room can't be too similar. To this end, the main castle in my game has different pieces of art that the bad guy collects. That way it makes for easy reference (ex. Go to the room with the cow statue and drop down into the pit of snakes or whatever). --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

I don't think the map should be a power-up, unless you mean it's like Zelda/Metroid style where you always have a map that fills in as you go along but there is a place where you can get the "full" map of the area. Yeah maybe power up is the wrong term. On the subscreen it's with the others under the "items" header while the weapons are on the other side under "arms". For now it's very basic because I'm not far in yet despite my good progress. For now it acts like NES Zelda does on the overworld- Think a rectangle broken down into sections and the one that flashes is the section you're in. It will be more detailed later. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

You are sent out at the behest of an oppressed sect of people vs a tyrannical jerk, and lots of the game so far is devoted to how this guy kills the people in funny ways (if that makes sense) it's not as morbid as it may sound. You are also on a timer, because you've been resurrected and the effect only lasts for so long. I don't think there's another Metroidvania where the guy is on a timer so it should be different at least. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

That's the one important one I think would cut down frustration for many future players. As for powers / power ups and etc, here's what I have: Weapons: Dagger (double damage vs enemies from behind) Whip (long range very fast) Flail (powerful and can break rock piles which block some paths) Torch (fire damage and can burn thorny bushes. Also lights up dark areas while equipped) Zweihander (high damage spin attack, can't use shield while equipped) Axe (not bad, but attacks in arc pattern so it's good BS flying things) Sword (medium range / damage) Orange Wand (magic damage- fires 3 projectiles down and diagonally for high damage) Blue Wand (magic damage- fires 3 projectiles up and away for low damage but the projectiles can travel through obstacles and enemies) Meat Cleaver (arc attack swing / very low damage but builds blood w each hit. At full charge hits like a truck) Golden Axe. This is an upgrade for the regular axe. Gains speed, damage, and item drops are tripled. Icebrand. The upgraded sword. Deals cold damage and can freeze many enemies solid, who can then be used as platforms (ex Metroid enemies and the ice beam only they never thaw) Power ups: Rings (purple / red) increases physical and magic damage Blue ring (slows down Death timer by half) Shield - Able to block projectiles. Increases damage reduction by 10% Helmet- Able to head butt and break cracked ceilings. Increases damage reduction by 15% Armor- 25% damage reduction Key - Opens any locked door Dash Booster- Allows for sprinting Boots - Allows for high jumps Map - Shows the map and your current position --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

Metroidvania games usually have a fair amount of backtracking, as you gain new abilities that allow you past obstacles you've encountered in earlier stages. I don't mind this, but one thing about this aspect I dislike is when the enemies remain the same. You get increasingly powerful, but enemies in the early areas are the same low-level riffraff. It's cool when a game mixes it up and throws a curveball or two your way. Introduce a few new enemies, or make the enemies stronger, or even alter the level so it's not what you expect when you return. See to me that sounds a lot like a type of level scaling, which is something I don't usually like because it makes it seem like you haven't really grown more powerful or progressed since you're fighting things that are always your equal. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

Personally-speaking I don't like backtracking to the point of it being obnoxious. Another is finding a weapon that outclasses everything else. To these points: The map so far doesn't have many big hallway dead end deals and I've been trying to incorporate lots of vertical pathways between areas and rooms (the original Dark Souls does this masterfully). And all weapons have some sort of unique thing about them, so that players might still want to hold onto the starting dagger potentially. --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

It's funny you say that because there is a magic wand which can be charged with different abilities that you can only hold one of at a time. Example one allows the projectiles to go through walls and another turns them into fireballs. Thanks again everyone, I have lots of crap to go and do now haha! --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

Foppe posted...Give them the option that if they complete the game once, then they can choose to either pick five weapons that they have unlocked or play with random weapons so they can unlock more to pick from. That's a great idea I didn't consider, thanks! --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |

Funny trivia nobody asked for: The first Medievil is the only game that gave me literal headaches while playing.

| Black_Crusher 06/21/18 10:06:59 AM #1 | Hi everyone, I have a question on whether or not you think this is a good idea: I am working on a game where the player has 5 slots exclusively for weapons. As it stands, there are only 5 weapons you can potentially get (each has their uses, it's not as bad as it might sound). However I was thinking I could make it so that each new game started picked 5 of a larger pool of weaponry (say, 10-15) and those would be the 5 the player could potentially find instead. The good point would be variety and replayability. The bad point would be RNG reliance. Of course I'd make it so that you could win using any weapon, so that someone's playthrough wasn't gimped to hell or an OP walk in the park. This is a platformer Metroidvania, but the weapons are not used to advance to other areas so that would not be a factor. Thoughts? --- Wild West Action: The Outlaw, The Drunk, & The Whore! https://store.steampowered.com/app/853610/ |
