    Honestly, I thought 3rd blue dude messed up the concept very hard. However, blue team managed to make a good finished game.
    Meanwhile, I thought the red team's visuals alone would carry the game. The problem red team had is lack of communication to the player: the game doesn't explain some crucial mechanics, such as dash and dash-refreshing poles, that you won't be able to understand intuitively like walking and jumping.

  • @OvalSpirit
    @OvalSpirit Před rokem +3485

    I don't mind the fact that team red changed from the jumping exploding galaxy man to the desert survival. The main reason so many people were unhappy with the centipede was because the game already had a perfect feeling and changing the entire game when you're one of the last devs is not a great idea, but if the game doesn't already have a specific feel, that's when changing the game because good, sometimes even ideal.

      On the contrary, he made the absolute worst change. He made it complicated for the others that come behind him, and he stripped out all the work and the idea and basically just started with his own game idea. That is not being a team player, that's being a fkhole. Red dev two is a fkhole. I hope he chokes on his coffee because it's what that little fkhole deserves.

      I think a good idea that no one is doing, I'd just putting a control list. It takes like 5 minutes. And both games had people not knowing the controls, in the dessert the players didn't know how to dash, or how to use the poles, and in the city one nobody knew about the dash. It just baffles me that no one in these challenges does this.

      @@marcusnielsen2869 I think it depends on how you do it. If you tell people what you're still planning on implementing or anything that's not immediately clear, it's one thing. But players need cues on the controls anyway. One of my biggest issues with the Red team was that any new player would have no clue what to do. That's just bad game design. Games are supposed to be intuitive, so if the next dev can't tell what's been implemented, the previous one didn't make that clear enough in the game design itself.

    I prefer red teams game. The time trial style seems like a more fleshed out goal, and the "avoid overheating" concept seems like a more creative fail safe. The game world itself feels a lot more polished as well.
    I think if Blue team just made the shift to the style they're on a little too late. The red team made their big change one dev sooner, which gave them more time to polish the concept.

      @taylorfisdboss5200 Před rokem +30

      @@fresch4395 maybe polish is a poor word. I think their art represents a more cohesive theme. The colors are in a more narrow range which makes it feel polished to me. It also has solid ground going on - which just feels more put together.
      The blue teams buildings, player, enemies, etc. use a wider color range and ascetic feel which makes the theme feel (to me at least) at lot looser.
      I think accusing the red teams game of not having a gameplay loop is a fair critique. Ideally there would be:
      1. A tutorial
      2. Simi-random level design
      3. Careful balancing.
      I think loosely the gameplay loop exists as either:
      1. Move from shadow to shadow quickly, while climbing towards a goal and avoiding enemies and light sources.
      Or:
      2. Climb to the goal as quickly as possible while looking for short cuts or time saves as you go.
      It is a little less obvious than the blue teams, which seems to me to be “hop from platform to platform while avoiding certain elements”
      In a lot of ways they share a gameplay loop of “move between safe spaces at the right time/pace” but the blue teams seems to force players into quick decisions while the red teams lets them think (although incentivizing speed as well, but not enforcing speed)

    I'm honestly so upset with how the platformer one ended. I thought of an idea where the dude avoiding the sun could be kinda like an inkling where he can go into the shadows to lose sun radiation which wouldn't kill you so fast but build up over time (including the speed of the burning if you stay in the sun for excess time) unless in shadows. You could also collect little mobs that look like black blobs of ink and you herd them into the sun to make them into shadow cores or something so you can collect to regain the shadow walking bar. Then light blobs also speed up sun radiation and hurt you and no power ups dropped from the light blobs because that just doesn't fit imo.

    That being said, I was a little bummed to see the aimed slam get discarded from team blue, would’ve totally loved to see that expanded upon (aim for jump pads, dash rings, stuff to enhance it from a platforming perspective). I think that would’ve helped while still falling in line with the rooftop runner idea (since I also felt they painted themselves into a bit of a corner seeing as cities are pretty dev resource intensive to get looking good)

    I think it was interesting how the teams without communicating seemed to focus on the same areas a lot. Team blue seemed to focus on refining the game mechanics, while team red focused on the game world itself. It also makes it hard to really vote on the best because it becomes about mechanics vs feeling. Sadly though, since team red doesn't really communicate how to play the game or the goal, I have to vote blue. Because at the end of the day, it may not be the most visually appealing, but they definitely had a functioning game that communicated what you were supposed to do.

    The stay-in-shadow game was the more intersting in concept but falls somewhat flat as a result of the lack of clarity as to the goal and how to use the jump-sticks. As a result, while I wouldn't play it myself, the alien-jumping game is the more 'complete,' understandable game.

    Red had amazing atmosphere and concept. It was very creative and I felt drawn into the abstract, mysterious and harsh world. Something that definitely had a very good overall tone and clear cut concept. I do think this was the best from a conceptual standpoint, and improved on the initial concept. The only issue it seems is level design and ease of play. I do think Red team made the better game.
    That said, I think that Blue team certainly had some wonderful qualities! I think Hivestudio set the direction of the project very well. Tiko was amazing, many of the other comments have said this as well, but his modelling certainly was a boon to the entire project! All that said though, the final gameplay wasn't very compelling. After Tiko and Hivestudio had finished their pieces, I was looking forward to some kind of engaging platform fighting game with unique mechanics to accentuate the already established ideas. In the end, it feels like it's not mechanically different from when the project started. I appreciate that the other developers tried to institute a form of level design and progression of difficulty, but it wasn't very engaging.
    Overall, Red team's game feels like a project that could blossom really quickly into a plethora of interesting levels, with an overarching premise that sets the stage for possible stories. Blue team feels more like a mobile game you'd play to pass time. I do think that Blue team had some legitimate work and impressive ideas, but at the end of the day, I think Red team made the better game.

    You guys inspired me to learn to code and to make my own game (just as a fun hobby project). I learned c++, then more recently learned a lot about the Godot engine, and today I finished coding the start of a match 3 game (it can generate a tile grid without any starting matches!)
    What amazes me as I watch this is just how little time these devs really have. I spent like 2 hours last night trying to use a while loop (that looked unproblematic to my novice eyes) to stop freezing my game. This morning I scrapped it and came up with a longer solution. The progress you all make (in 3D none the less) with so little time is really quite impressive.

    I liked the guy exploding after jumps in the base game, but it looks like they both kind of lost that.
    That was an interesting mechanic, and I wish we could have seen more building on that rather than toning it down. To start it looked very explosiony, but it could have been interesting to have it make craters in the ground as well. Maybe you have a city map, but the space between the buildings is filled with sand so you can only see the very top, and every crater removes more sand (and allows more enemies to escape from buried cells).
    Could even make the damage/crater size/blast radius depend on how high you jump from, so to deal with tougher enemies in the late game you have to climb higher and fall farther.

    I think blue is better, while the animations are very... interesting, the gameplay is just a lot more exciting and fun, and it's obvious what you're supposed to do. For reds, nobody would know that you can dash, or even dash into the poles to refill your dash. It's too indirect and seems boring. Not to mention, the dash does not look good at all, it is just a solid speed up for 1 second. Should've had better screen effects and made it ease more. Either way, great video as always!
