Taile Gamougg Trilogy Devlog (news bigger than Chungus?)

Your controls are too complex and don’t really make sense (O for fullscreen? ` to restart?).

What do you mean? Gamougg 1 has the easiest controls in the series, just that the existence of the optional controls and stuff makes it seem complicated.

@hihilogic

There isn’t a clear cut storyline, you just tell us what it is in the description but don’t really deliver it in game.

I’ll work on that right now.

@hihilogic

Okay, I know not everyone is a picasso like me (joke), but you’re making your sprites too complex. If it helps, start to think on a bigger pixel scale (maybe start using 2x or 4x pixel) to get you started.

I like the detail though I thought my art was evolving (look at the difference in art for JoJo part 1 and JoJo part 7 manga)

@hihilogic

The player doesn’t really have animations, so that’s kinda a problem.

I tried to make them for original game, but couldn’t and from then onwards I made it part of my design choice not to include player animations.

@hihilogic

Another thing is that 8/10 sprites I see are based off the default sprites, or are just default sprites all together (we’re talking the squares that look pointy).

I didn’t want to change the original sprites fundamentally, just wanted to upgrade them.

@hihilogic

Also, the mechanics are really janky. You kept the collisions for the jump to be on sides and on ceilings instead of just touching the floor, and your sprint system is really weird.

I wanted the player to be able to climb things and stuff. Yeah the sprint system is kinda weird, but I might add the sprint from The GAME: The Game into Gamougg Anniversary.

@hihilogic

Also, there are a lot of subtle jokes that I don’t understand. You put the goal block in an obvious place in the first level, and then you’re like “Oh, no, this is fake, etc.”

I wanted to evoke a sense of familiarity with some new changes.

@hihilogic

Another thing, Randomness. There’s just a lot of random stuff that is never really explained. Such as setting. Where am I? Who am I? When am I? HOW am I? Also, the noob saibot thing is never explained, and I still don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.

I gonna explain gaming
Noob Saibot is supposed to be the deuteragonist.
