| zinformant 04/01/18 10:59:07 PM #93: | My take was that folks like Undertale for: -deconstructions of perceived genre (medium?) norms (novelty, in other words) -catchy (simple, that is) music -Earthbound-style presentation -close gameplay-narrative integration *I see encouraging replayability as a byproduct of this and not a design goal in and of itself. When trash mobs tend to be isolable from the cutscene material (see the first bullet), that creates some disconnect that veterans take for granted or do not challenge. This game stops to question these actions and takes the next step to make them meaningful narratively. -being cheap? (and, therefore, accessible) Honestly, I didn't enjoy it that much, either. I found the true ending requirements to be a little obscure, and they wrecked the pacing. --- Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world. It's gonna be alright! 09.2018 ...
