      Why the frick would you ruin your game into forcing your players into a repetitive grind and instead of making nice levels just ruin it by using procedural generation?

        Because consumers demand hundreds of hours of entertainment from their 15 dollar indie game and the only way indie devs have been able to produce enough content to satisfy this unrealistic desire is procedural generation. Hand designing levels takes time and on top of that if you make a bad one you can't blame the procedural generation. There are indie devs that made real linear games in the past whose newest releases are roguelites like the Hyper Light Drifter guy and commented that it was basically because of this. Audiences view your indie game as a waste to buy if it's not a rogulike because they know they will play that for a longer period of time even though a shit load of that time will be failed runs on poorly designed levels. It's extremely unfortunate how short sighted and stupid consumers are.

          It's definitely not for every game, and it can of course be done poorly, but procedural generation is great. I think all the hate it gets is just there was a phase where everyone was doing it and not well.

        You can’t progress the game with easy mode

        • 10 months ago
          Anonymous

          Honestly, that's the best way to do it. Have easy mode, but unlock progress only for higher difficulties. Children can have their training wheels but if they want to see the rest of the game, they have to grow out of them

            I don’t agree especially with how the game plays and how they do easy mode. They should’ve just increased the damage and then give you a d rank every stage. You get to see the content but you feel bad for it unless you play the normal difficulty. But im more lenient about game difficulty i guess it just comes down to your personal game philosophy

              While it is fun to see losers seethe when games mock then for using easy mode, I dont think letting them see everything is a good idea.
              For a start, this method lets you design content exclusively for higher difficulties without worry about balance across the board, which removes a lot of possibility of shit going wrong or being underwhelming. For example, Saltbaker and the Devil font even have easy mode variants to fight

      That's not entirely true. I have nostalgia for cartoons from the 80s even though I was born in the early 90s because I still saw them on TV or rented them from the video store. People can experience things in their formative years that are from before their time and then end up having nostalgia for them.

          Well yeah I never said they were good, that's why it's nostalgia. I would never expect someone to watch He-Man or Thundercats today and get what I get from it. For me those shows remind me of a better time where all I had to worry about was which one I was going to rent from Video World that week with the one video rental my parents gave me. Though I think even without nostalgia you appreciate how unintentionally funny the low quality is sometimes. There's a reason there's so many He-Man memes.

    It looks good and it's very different from everything else ? especially nowadays.
    Also it's more than a particular artstyle, the whole 'cartoon logic' thing with very surreal situations, characters and environments is a bottomless pit of ideas for a creative mind.

    I'm not really interested in a boomer shooter or action-oriented game but an exploration/puzzle game in a 30s cartoon world could be really nice. Solving puzzles in all sorts of wacky ways would be fun.

    Way back in the early 90's, Disney used to pad their schedule by playing reruns from every era of their production, at least, the stuff that was PC enough for TV at the time. It wasn't unusual to watch cartoons late at night and see material from fifty years ago. Now, most of those cartoons are deemed not suitable for children and there's enough content to pad schedules with out the archive. The concept of adult content presented in this visual style has been revived by movies throughout the 80's like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
