    This game is looking incredible so far
    Now I don't know what you think of ideas from others as you want to make this your game, but I was wondering if you have ever played a hat in time as I feel like the hat system could work amazing with this game such as being able to equip little upgrades such as skis or roller blades could make the rolling system flow better with the momentum you gain sort of like a tribes ascend slide system which could add a lot to the movement itself and maybe not starting with the long jump getting a little spring upgrade or rockets could help with progression and add a little more design to the character.
    These are just some quick ideas that I think could help but I'm not a game designer or animator so they might not be good ideas :)

    I like the wall roll mechanic! You get to keep that important platforming wall cling while also getting the potential benefits of a short wall run - very cool!
    One challenge you could try is adding as much juice/game feel to an uninteresting mechanic or task as possible to make it exciting/fun, i.e. camera shake, particle effects, sound effects, animation, and the like.
    Also I completely get the discord time commitment thing XD Just answering a few comments or questions can take me ages - I don't know how other people manage it!

    Oh man, I just discovered these videos and I am in love. The animations are so good, and even though I obviously haven't played the game, just by looking at the footage I can tell that the movement just *feels good*. I'm really disappointed that your last video was over a month ago, I really hope that you haven't stopped the series and that this is just a hiatus!
    If nothing else, maybe you could make a twitter or something? Even if you don't make any more devlogs, just knowing that you're still working on the game would be enough.

    I love this!!! I love the rolling on wall thing, just it needs some more disadvantages because it gives almost unlimited vertical hight

    the turret crabs could be reused as a friendly species that lives in a small desert village and sells you weapons and stuff, and when you talk to them the camera could pan down so you can see their faces, and maybe some kind of techy/industrial type music would play. They could talk kind of like how dialogue is handled in games like undertale or something, and their shell would lift up/down to mimic emotion. This looks like it could be a pretty great game, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing new stuff in the future!

    This happens to me too. I overwork on the first week or two, then slow down. But it's fine. Take your time
