Then the last dev added a big boss, removed most of the gameplay the other devs had made and made it a basic shooter. He also threw out all of the written story then slapped the blackthornprod art style on everything It was such a 180° they had to put fake early version of the boss (that never existed before the last dev) to make it seem like it fit

Portal is about portals. Half life is about fps , momentum, puzzle solving. Sonic is about speed, exploration, momentum, platforming.

@temkin9298 Жыл бұрын
Too little change if you see what they did as improving slightly Taro at least changed the game and built enough that it can be considered a game. If the ones before built enough I would say yes Taro f-bombed the premise. One dev only changed ui in 4 hrs! I would've wanted them to focus on workable improvements. Houses could help teching up to unlock necessary things. Trees perhaps would slow the enemies down but given that game looks fps tower defence with no action it is hardly workable. It is hard making games and usually games start with many ideas clashing and what is considered best ones gets selected for improvement and implementation. With not much time left with no tangible premise Taro at least down greaded the premise to serve something in the end. Bad games cling to much to unachievable or too unfun ideas and achive less than half, best games refine and redefine themselves through planing and experimenting, hlf2 leak is unrecognizable to released one. If you want a quick well implemented game you have a basic premise, 70%(no research) of all games are war or fight games because it is the most simplest conflict there is. Resource management &tower defence game with the end condition of research needs too much dev timea and coordination. 24 hrs game jams are usually with a clean vision and understanding without code reading taking too much time. That's why Tero gets praised.

Just to post a different take on this, I personally felt that Tarodev changed the gameplay loop too much. If by accident it's one thing, like in previous videos some people didn't understand the concept and thus added features that change it dramatically. But in this case Tarodev knew and understood the core loop, and decided to effectively invalidate most of the game to that point. The village houses and walls became effectively useless yet they stayed in the UI. The game was changed from survival city builder tower defense to action shooter, with basically no overlap. While it's impressive he was able to make so many changes so quickly, I feel it is basically a slap to the developers before him who had basically their entire game concept put in the trash. To me these types of videos are more interesting when people add onto the previous work, not just discard it. Keeping disparate ideas and adding your own results in games that are wholly unique. If at any point you then have a person strip out most of that identity and only keep in what aligns with a more particular focused vision you get something that just feels more generic, the appeal of this kind of experiment is lost. It may seem I'm being really critical of Tarodev here, and I was to emphasize that I think he's an amazing developer, and what he ended up with after his turn did look fun and more polished, I just don't think that polish over interesting ideas is good in this formula, there are plenty of other development video formulas that do this already, this formula lends itself well to crazy, wacky, absurd concept combinations. I would have rather seen Tarodev try to find a way to make the current game more fun while preserving it's identity, rather than taking things out that didn't work for him. I'm intentionally trying to be a bit harsh, just because I don't see many people in the comments discussing this side of perspective here. I want to repeat I have a lot of respect for Tarodev, I just lost most interest in this video after his changes.

Also it'd be interesting to see what this formula would do if you gave developers 6 or even 8 hours instead of 4. How much more polished would the result become. How much larger in scope do the developers go. How much more work or focus would be placed on clearly explaining the mechanics, and would such additional time to work on such clarity reduce confusion between the exchanges between the developers. Would the games become more crazy, or would more time to fully develop concepts lead to development of a more focused and detailed fewer systems/mechanics game. A similar set of questions could be asked about what happens with more developers, instead of 6 what would hap[pen if there were 8, or 10. The idea being to introduce a slight change to the formula for every episode and see if any data pops out of doing so regarding how certain aspects of the formula affect peoples mindsets and output.

Liam is wholly overlooked. Improved and fixed the game mechanics that already existed. All those changes almost entirely undone because Tarodev had an idea for a completely different game. Really disappointing to see how much one dev can just ruin the entire direction a game is taking. If Taro returns I hope he's less destructive with other people's work in this collaborative project. Would also prefer him to be less dissmissive of the game as it stood when he got it.

Speedrun Guide: 1. Go mine materials for your first building which is must be Grinder. You want the grinder first cuz there is some trick: Because trigger collider was extended you can place grinder slightly below in front of enemy spawn point. That allows you forget about shooting enemies, cuz they gotta be spawning nearby the grinder and instantly get into it. 2. Now when you don't need to worry about Blood farming go obtain another materials and place 3 shooting towers in a triangle setup and fill all 3 with blood (you'll manage to do this even before the boss will arrive) 3. Move around the boss and fill towers with your free blood that you got from abusing the big trigger collider bug described above.
