BRUTAL KATANA - out now on Steam

[fleet canopy]

ah okay, they're pretty common techniques but maybe the combination is really similar

yeah

[analog monolith]

Time for rename 🔥🔥

[hushed blade]

Current name sounds good IMHO

Maaaybe changing the word order would be fun cause it'll make the two games look like they're from one series

A collaboration would be super interesting 👀

[fleet canopy]

yeah, a collaboration would be cool

[analog monolith]

Go DM the creator lul

[fleet canopy]

maybe 🤔

[lofty cypress]

i think this might be of interest to you:
https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1812

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yqTljJ0mW0

would be cool if i can cut those rocks to tiny pieces

[autumn thorn]

oh i used that and it works pretty well

[carmine perch]

Congrats on the feature! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pNyKfkwmjw4

[analog monolith]

your last name is FAST??

[fleet canopy]

I'm already using this for the project! although I may have to remove it since the performance is quite bad, hopefully porting it to C# improves the performance quite a bit

[fleet canopy]

thank you! it's kinda crazy that I got featured considering how horrible my video quality is 😅

[fleet canopy]

yes 😎

[fleet canopy]

small update, finally got around to fully implementing the music system for the game. So now you can choose which playlist you wanna play (I have only added one currently but more will be available) and fastforward/rewind songs!

forgot to show off my custom scroll rect, pretty proud of it tbh

[runic granite]

Damn, this looks really fucking nice

like really good

[fleet canopy]

thank you! I'm really happy with how it all turned out

[analog monolith]

how'd you get da lisencsed

[fleet canopy]

I bought a commercial license from epidemic sound

[analog monolith]

ohh

[rain crescent]

i dont know why until right now it just hit me

big severed steel vibes

gameplay wise

[fleet canopy]

yeah, I guess they're kinda similar in terms of parkour and the hitmarker + killsound 🤔

[fleet canopy]

another small update! been focusing a lot on improving performance and fixing some bugs this last week. So I don't have all that much to show but I've overhauled the look of the enemies to improve looks + readability and also added a scanline effect, which I think looks really nice (can be disabled)

BRUTAL KATANA - first person parkour action game

also here's a new thumbnail

[gilded dome]

Scanlines are not my thing but the game is taking shape, already wishlisted

Do you think you will put some levels at dusk or at night?

[fleet canopy]

thank you! maybe, I had a dynamic skybox before where the lighting would go from dawn to dusk but I've had a really hard time making it look any good so I've removed it for now

but I could possibly add a dusk/night level for a story segment

[analog monolith]

Yoo he did the thing

[kindred jasper]

I love this so far, but the way the enemies rotate after being sliced just feels off for some reason

still really cool
its amazing seeing how far the game has come

[fleet canopy]

thank you! I can fix the rotation, it's probably because the two segments' colliders overlap when they spawn

[chrome cave]

Aww, I miss the slicing

[candid trellis]

Ghostrunner 3 be like, amazing job look sick

[fleet canopy]

thank you!

[fleet canopy]

quick question, which music player UI do you like the best?
1:

2:

[analog monolith]

start with 1

and make 2 unlockable

[atomic walrus]

dont have the waveforms if they dont correspond to the song

it seems like you are using the same one currently

if you dont want to put custom waveforms for each song, use option 1. otherwise, option 2

[fleet canopy]

yeah, its just for testing

[atomic walrus]

IMO

[runic granite]

I like how clean the first one looks, but you cant see how far you have listened with that one, so like the first one with the line, but always visible, if that makes sense?

[autumn thorn]

second one seems too distracting

[fleet canopy]

alright, I'll stick to the first one 👍

[fleet canopy]

how many people here would be interested in testing a beta build of the game? (so I know how many keys to ask valve for). It will contain everything except a few final levels and the story segments. Its mainly just to check if there are any game breaking bugs and make sure that saving/loading and settings work properly on other machines. react with 👍 to this message if you're interested!

[analog monolith]

Send it immediately

[fleet canopy]

no can do, I want to test the game through steam to make sure leaderboards and achievements work for other people

[analog monolith]

Damn

How hard is it to get that setup?

[fleet canopy]

it's not that hard, the hardest thing is waiting on Steam to reply and approve different parts of the game lol

[sly coyote]

just found this and damn, this is inspiring me, looks really good!

[fleet canopy]

thank you!!

[kindred jasper]

Id love to test it

[fleet canopy]

you're on the list 👍

[lapis jasper]

Been up following this project for a while, I would love to test it

[autumn thorn]

hello i would like to be on a list

(gonna speedrun all the levels)

[fleet canopy]

you're already on it! everyone that reacted with a thumbs up to the original message has been added

[chrome cave]

Woohoo!!

this game looks like a lot of fun

[analog monolith]

DIBS

[kindred jasper]

:D

[fallow wave]

you're on the list :D
you're on the list

[sly coyote]

How long did it take you to get this far? And what inspired the original idea? And, what's your favourite thing that you've put into it so far? Really cool name, by the way. Brutal Katana 🔥

[fleet canopy]

I've worked on this game for around 5 or 6 months now, though I could have gotten to this point much faster if I had a better plan and idea of what I was making in the beginning 😭.

The game was originally meant to be a small project where I made a character controller similar to Mirrors Edge's. When I finished the controller I decided to actually make a game out of it but since I am quite new to level design I simplified the controller a bit to make it easier to create level for. And this is also where I decided to add the katana because it's cool.

My favorite thing I've added is the probably the music player and the playlist UI. I think it looks really cool!

[gilded dome]

You have done more than 95% of gamedevs. I can't tell you how many times I've started a project and left it half way through to get on to something else.

Finishing a game is hard even for experienced people, be proud of it even if it doesn't have all the content you would like it to have.

[sly coyote]

Literally that ^

I'm struggling to even make a character controller 🤣 So to see this... this is crazy! Good crazy, to be sure.

[bleak parcel]

ffmpeg

[fleet canopy]

yeah that's true. It's just crazy how much work it is to actually finish a smaller scoped game.

[fleet canopy]

I've now sent out a Steam key to everyone that was interested in testing the game. I still have some keys left so if any more people want to test the game then send a message here or dm me!

[sly coyote]

The game doesn't even require Proton to run on Linux Mint, though why there is no sound is a mystery and could be from any number of things.

Really cool :)

[fleet canopy]

thank you! I can try uploading a linux build later and see if that fixes the sound.

[sly coyote]

I'll boot it on my Windows machine tomorrow and see if that fixes it, tinker around with using Proton and no Proton. It may just be limited to my computer or OS or something like that.

Thank you though :D

[fleet canopy]

The audio issue is most likely due to differences in audio drivers between windows and linux

[sly coyote]

Ah, I see. That makes sense.

I'm mystified how someone has gotten a sub nine second time on the first level. I can't beat them 😂

[fleet canopy]

That's me 🙂 only took 100+ hours of gameplay

[sly coyote]

I'm catching up. evil laughter

I'm only .6 miliseconds away!

.5 miliseconds now

STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS?!

You have Steam Achievements?

That's crazy!

[fleet canopy]

Yes : )

[sly coyote]

😮

[fleet canopy]

Which is why I wanted to hold the test through steam to make sure they work

[sly coyote]

I was saving money for Factorio's new expac but I'm doubing that decision now, this feels like it has a lot of love put into it and like its a full game, even if I've only played the first level so far 😅

Two enemies in one attack, eh? Is that even possible on the first level? Or did I kill them really quickly.

[fleet canopy]

that's possible on the later levels

[sly coyote]

Apparently also on the first. Somehow. Don't look at me 🤷‍♂️

[fleet canopy]

did you kill the big statue and the small one at the same time?

I've never done that before lol

Thought it was impossible

[sly coyote]

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

I just know I've been running this level over and over and it popped up, haha.

155 milseconds away...

[fleet canopy]

damn

[sly coyote]

Maybe I should get into speedrunning, this is kinda fun 😂

Level 1 down.

[fleet canopy]

you're getting close lol

[rain crescent]

suggestion: speedometer

[sly coyote]

19 seconds on Level 4. God damn.

You're all machines, i swear. My average time is around 29 seconds.

Oh I went the wrong way. 😂

Hmm. I am having odd mouse disconnects, which clear up when I hit restart. I'm not sure what exactly is causing them. Perhaps my frantic mouse swipes and clicking? 😂

[fleet canopy]

If you're running the game natively on linux I'd guess that's where the issue comes from

otherwise it sounds weird

[sly coyote]

Yeah, I'll try Windows tomorrow. I have encountered the Q quick turn sticking a lot on walls. I press it, press space bar, I stick there for a bit, then I fall 😂

That may be skill issue, but I have mostly been ignoring the q and just turning manually.

[fleet canopy]

try holding W all the time, then press Q and as soon as you start to turn press Space

[sly coyote]

Ah, okay 👍

Is there a way to disable the auto exposure effect? The whole screen flashes white. It's a tad distracting at times, haha.

[fleet canopy]

I'm working on fixing it!

[sly coyote]

Awesome! :)

I really like the art style, and the idea of busts that have a separation in the shape of the attack you need to use is really smart. Everything is simple, but not too simple.

[fleet canopy]

thank you!

[sly coyote]

Apparently it's been 200 straight minutes. I haven't noticed any bugs, other than my mouse input deciding to die on me on one specific level for reasons unknown. That and the no audio, but that's very likely just Linux.

[fleet canopy]

damn, soon you will have more hours than me in the game lol

[sly coyote]

😂 Nah, I'll get bored eventually when I'm trying to get shave an extra 0.02 milliseconds off my time for the last level.

I'm on level 20 right now. The wall climb at the start has stopped me dead in my tracks.

[fleet canopy]

lol, have you figured out how to do the wall climb jump yet?

[sly coyote]

No 😦

I am going to take a break from it so my brain is not dreaming of it tonight, because that happens when I play too much of one game 😂

But tomorrow morning, I'm gonna see if I can do it.

[fleet canopy]

alright, thanks for playing so far!

[sly coyote]

For sure! You should be proud, it's a great game :)

[fleet canopy]

thank you!!

[chrome cave]

That's when you know you're on a winner

[fleet canopy]

yeah I hope so : D

[fleet canopy]

nice

[lapis jasper]

got the hang of it now

[hushed blade]

y'all are damn machines

i barely got to the top 5

[lapis jasper]

btw you can slice through walls

i use that to my advantage sometimes

[hushed blade]

Oh

I haven't seen a place where that would be applicable yet but thank you

||wonder if it'll get patched lmao||

[fleet canopy]

I'll probably keep it lol

unless people complain about it

[lapis jasper]

some levels have heads in between wall run walls, you can skip going inbetween them and kill em

[chrome cave]

I don't think this is right

[fleet canopy]

have you given it some time to load? It can take a few seconds to load everything the first time you start the game

[lapis jasper]

i recommend hiding the window until it loads

[fleet canopy]

Yeah I'm gonna implement that soon!

[chrome cave]

DAMN THAT'S HARD

but this game is fucking addicting

I feel like there should be one more movement mechanic or something though

Something's missing

[fleet canopy]

the mechanics are definitely minimalistic, sadly I don't think I'll be adding anything else before release unless it doesn't force me to update every level to accommodate for that new mechanic

could be something to think about as a post launch update

[chrome cave]

That's fair

Holy moly, even with the tightest corners I have no idea how you get to 8.1 seconds

oh speaking of which shouldn't that be a . not :

as in 00:08.167

[fleet canopy]

yeah, I'll change it!

[chrome cave]

also wait did you hand out full keys? 😳 I don't see "For Beta Testing" at the end

[fleet canopy]

full keys 😉

[chrome cave]

legend

I will spread the good word about how fun this game is

I haven't even made it to Level 2 🤣

I'm coming for you, Jon

[fleet canopy]

lol, seems like I need to play level 1 again to regain the first place spot

[chrome cave]

yes this is an officially sanctioned Discord sticker

also, add discord RPC!!

🚎

[fleet canopy]

is that so the game name is shown under your username when playing it?

[chrome cave]

And some extra information

Like what level you're playing on

Maybe what your best score is

Your global ranking

[fleet canopy]

that could be cool

[chrome cave]

Yuhh

[fleet canopy]

I would probably add what level you're playing + your current time (if possible)

[chrome cave]

It might be a little difficult but you can try

Because I'm not sure how in sync it would be

There's an addon for it that sets it all up for you so you just need to do some lines of code to get it enabled and built up

[fleet canopy]

oh, nice! I'll look into it later

[sly coyote]

I HAVE BEEN DETHRONED! I must pause my game jam and take back the top spot. 19 milliseconds!!

[sly coyote]

I had my suspicions. You're awesome :) I'll be sure to let people know to wishlist it, haha.

Good news! It has sound for me now. I guess a restart fixed it. I like it :) Though I would say the music on the menu is VERY loud compared to the waves. I'd reduce the menu music volume by 50-60 percent, personallyl

Doesn't really matter since a volume slider for it exists, but by default it is quite a bit louder than the waves. Though I also know my headset is louder by default than most other headsets, so maybe get someone else to look into this if you're thinking of tweaking the audio.

I'm really digging the music. It's perfect.

And yes, I'm still stuck on Level 20. Can't get past that wall 😂

Nevermind I figured it out.

I find it funny I can wishlist it, because it isn't out yet, even though you gave out a full key 😂

[sly coyote]

No way.

hehe

[hushed blade]

statues' insides look like limbo

(i like it)

[chrome cave]

wait a minute

LOL YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FILL IN THE SOUNDCARD SECTION

[sly coyote]

How the hell do I beat his score on level 02?!

It's crazy.

[lapis jasper]

innit

a speed meter is needed 🙏🙏🙏

[sly coyote]

Yesss

SPEED meter!

Lord Fasth, give us the fast meter! 🙏 😂

[chrome cave]

Speed lines on screen

[lapis jasper]

I need numbers

[sly coyote]

Sub 12 second run... the man is too good 😂

[lapis jasper]

I need footage NOW

[sly coyote]

Footage?

[lapis jasper]

Of Texas 😂

[sly coyote]

😂 of me? playing?

[lapis jasper]

Yeah 😂

[sly coyote]

hop in a vc 😂 I'll stream for you?

[autumn thorn]

do you guys know that you can kill enemies before starting the level if they're close enough?

[sly coyote]

no 👀

that's crazy

[autumn thorn]

saves some time on start of some levels

[lapis jasper]

Woah

[autumn thorn]

probably a bug tho

[sly coyote]

I am SO CLOSE, yet so far.

[fleet canopy]

not a bug, I just didn't think of doing that lol

[autumn thorn]

not a bug , a speedrunning feature

[fleet canopy]

true

[lapis jasper]

Nothing is a bug if you make it a feature

[autumn thorn]

also the game is really good

the cutting is really satisfying

[fleet canopy]

thank you!

[sly coyote]

extremely satisfying yeah

[autumn thorn]

and i been listening to my own music and cutting enemies to beat of it feels so good

like some animatic video type of shi

[sly coyote]

i honestly like the music in the game a lot

is it original? Is it on spotify? 🤣

[fleet canopy]

it's from Epidemic Sounds

[sly coyote]

Ah, cool!

[fleet canopy]

what genre are you listening to? I'm thinking about adding some more playlists with other types of music that could fit the game

[lapis jasper]

Lo-fi would be cool

[autumn thorn]

ok dont stone me for this but

you guys heard of zenless zone zero?

[fleet canopy]

yeah I've seen a few friends play it

[sly coyote]

If you still wanna watch 😂 I'm in vc

[lapis jasper]

Who dares speaks that name

[hushed blade]

i did the sub-8s run on 01 and i can't reproduce it god damn it lol

[autumn thorn]

no idea what genre this is but it has this cool drop on chorus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ykGOTP7I8

[fleet canopy]

it's kinda similar to j-pop

[hushed blade]

IM 1ST

wtf

[fleet canopy]

damn, gj

[autumn thorn]

yeah, but i like the style of lyrics being semi slow when the music goes kinda medium-fast tempo

[fleet canopy]

I'll try to see if I can find some similar songs on Epidemic Sounds

could be cool to have a j-pop esque playlist

[autumn thorn]

j pop my beloved

[autumn thorn]

ok no idea how you did sub 8

you go the normal path or you have some shortcut?

[sly coyote]

for this map?

[autumn thorn]

yeah fror first level

[sly coyote]

I will show you roughly what I did. It was basically just me repeating it a lot to shave corners tighter and tighter.

LMAO

[autumn thorn]

ok i see

my turn

[sly coyote]

100 milliseconds off dman

damn

[gilded dome]

On a low-mid range PC like mine I had to lower the graphics because it wouldn't work and consume a lot of cpu while running. For example neon white works without problems so I think it can be optimized in same way or at least, a better detection on the final hardware for the best graphics settings

At the moment, although I'm very bad and I don't get good times, what I miss the most is to be able to use the mouse freely and not captured all the time at least optionally with some key such as escape.

In my case, when I changed the msaa value I thought it had frozen because I didn't see any feedback such as a small load circle.

Nevertheless, the gameplay is quite robust and I'll keep on playing it these days.

[hushed blade]

i did exactly the same time twice in a row

00:07.991

[sly coyote]

How the hell did Jonathan do sub 17?!

[fleet canopy]

I can add a loading screen if the game freezes when changing settings and I'll also work on optimizing the game further! If you haven't already then I recommend turning of MSAA and SSAO on lower end hardware. Their implementation is really expensive for some reason

[fleet canopy]

what level?

[lapis jasper]

make it so you dont have to press q to walljump

[sly coyote]

4, I think.

[fleet canopy]

my 17 time on level 13 is not possible

since I've updated the level to be a bit longer since I got that time

but the level 4 time is possible to get

[sly coyote]

Ah, okay.

damn you Jonathan

It's 3:52 in the morning

And I've put over 5 hours into this game already 😭

This is the parkour equivalent of crack.

[hushed blade]

💯

[fleet canopy]

my masterplan to make everyone addicted to my game is finally working 😈

[hushed blade]

12s on 02 is beyond my comprehension

i spent half an hour cutting corners and slicing multiple enemies at a time to get to 14s

[fleet canopy]

first sub 23 time on level 06 😎

I think my 12s time on 02 is from a previous version of the map

so it may be impossible to still get it

now my time on level 02 is valid

[hushed blade]

man this game is so addictive/immersive that i literally just found myself leaning towards the monitor and my head was like a few centimeters away smh

[fleet canopy]

nice 😈

[lapis jasper]

[fleet canopy]

damn, and here I was worried that people would finish the game in 40 minutes lol

[hushed blade]

the grind is eternal

[fleet canopy]

it truly is

[sly coyote]

We just need a level editor or somethin and we'll be playing into the 2030'S

🤣

It's nearly 6AM and I can't stop playing

😭

I will try to go to bed again

[fallow wave]

hi! just played a bit

the tutorial is super annoying when playing levels for the first time and trying to get a good time

it should also tell the player to dismiss with space instead of enter because mouse

controls (wasd and space) should be communicated

[fallow wave]

unobtrusive text that appears in a certain area would be best imo

you shouldn't be allowed to climb skinny walls i think (walls meant to wallrun on)

we need a level editor btw

i loved the fact that a slope is in level one and you find out you can optimize the run next level

i haven't played through much of the game yet but more height changes? ziplines?

ziplines are just cool :)

[chrome cave]

you won the game lottery

game addiction is real

[fallow wave]

a level select in the level complete screen would also be nice

[hushed blade]

i think what is most annoying about that is that you have to reach out with the other hand to press <enter>

an ability to alternatively press jump like it is in the rest of the ui would be awesome

[fallow wave]

you can press space

[hushed blade]

i can??

i must be blind

my bad

[atomic walrus]

Game is super fun I suck super hard tho 😎

bottom 3 of every leaderboard I think

what playing only 2d games does to a mf

[sly coyote]

Has anyone beat my level one time? I just woke up.

[fallow wave]

lmao

what a time to wake up

[sly coyote]

At nearly 1AM?

PM sorry

That's what Brutal Katana does to you

It brutally katanises your brain into dopamine overload

And sleep deprivation 🤣

[sly coyote]

I can't get to 16.9-17.0, sooo close

I've had 16.750, 16.788, 16.688, 16.668.

I can't get to .500 😂

[fleet canopy]

lol

[fleet canopy]

understandable, didn't think about players replaying the same level multiple times before completing it. I'm going to try to make the tutorial diegetic instead, so there will be a screen in the game world that has the video and text

[sly coyote]

I love diegetic U.I.!

And yeah, that was a bit annoying, but thats why I complete all levels before I try for a good time.

[runic granite]

Syumbled upon this?

Magic chains?

[hushed blade]

YO I BEAT JONATHAN ON 07

i wanna do a sub-17

[fleet canopy]

bug! I'm guessing you killed the last floating head and the big statue at the same time?

[hushed blade]

i remember doing this (killing two last heads + the statue) and it was fine (maybe? my memory is questionable)

[fleet canopy]

if it happens in the same frame the chains don't go down for whatever reason, so it only happens sometimes since the attack damage duration is greater than 1 frame

[fleet canopy]

I got some feedback to simplify the wall climb turn jump so that you only need to press Space while wall climbing to do a turn + automatically jump (instead of Q and then Space). I've implemented it and it feels nice but I just wanted to see if there is anyone here that is against a control scheme like that? otherwise I will add it in the next update

[hushed blade]

sounds good

[autumn thorn]

btw i found out that sometimes when i launch the game and im on another window it starts at like corner of my screen and i cant drag it back into fullscreen

or when i alt tab for longer time the game wont go back into focus and when i try to switch to it , it just puts my cursor into the corner of my screen and wont make the game window appear

[hushed blade]

?? i had this issue too but i thought that was because i launched it with --rendering-driver opengl3

[autumn thorn]

i get this when i switch windows right after pressing play on steam

[fleet canopy]

I think I've solved the window starting at the corner of the screen problem but I've never experienced the alt-tabbing one, I'll look into it!

[atomic walrus]

finally figured out what sliding does for speed oh my god im so happy

sub 21

[fleet canopy]

nice

[atomic walrus]

This is my favorite level I think

[hushed blade]

holy moly

is it just me or level 15 feels like fruit ninja lmao

[atomic walrus]

thats level 22

I have no idea how you are supposed to hit the group of 4 without slowing down 😭

[hushed blade]

the same is on level 15

[hushed blade]

when you hit the first head the game slows down

also try slicing multiple at a time

[atomic walrus]

yea its just aiming im bad at

[hushed blade]

i realized it also feels like osu

[autumn thorn]

yeah kinda lol

[atomic walrus]

beatsaber

[sly coyote]

just had the most horrible match of cs2, got griefed until they made me get kicked and lose some of my rating points. Now it is time for a game where I am the only enemy and I do not have to worry about fighting my teammates 🤣

[sly coyote]

100 percent it feels like beatsaber

I feel like BK is really relaxing, honestly

[atomic walrus]

im sweating trying to get 3 stars on 22

maybe cuz I dont play fps games this is so much harder

[hushed blade]

i also just realized that it's even more similar to osu because you have to strike enemies in order, otherwise the katana gets stuck

[atomic walrus]

there are a few cases where you can hit them out of order or you get to choose the order, which is nice

[hushed blade]

yep

YAY

it's coming

[fleet canopy]

yep, just gotta add the "Playing level 01" and "In main menu" texts

[autumn thorn]

it is

also figured out why i was so bad at the game , i couldnt go past 30fps but i turned down render scale and got stable 60 fps , its probably just me with my integrated graphics

[fleet canopy]

having 60+ fps helps a lot, I will do some more optimization a bit later so you'll hopefully be able to get 60 fps without having to rely on render scale (unless you have a really old or slow computer)

[autumn thorn]

i dont have a graphics card

but the cpu integrated graphics do pretty well

[fleet canopy]

even without a dedicated graphics card I should still be able to (hopefully) optimize it to the point that most people get 60 fps with low settings and 100 render scale

[autumn thorn]

we need some speedrunning document or something lol

[hushed blade]

oh yeah it could use some optimization

(or godot itself lol)

[atomic walrus]

ive been playing with max 35 fps my computer is really bad, Ill be impressed if you can optimize it to 60 fps for me
As long as there isnt really a difference in physics, the game runs fine on 30 fps though.

You can maybe add some mroe settings flat out killing shaders and making the game terribly ugly, but thats up to you

[hushed blade]

i couldn't get stable 180fps on max settings
that may sound demanding, but given bg3 runs at 180 just fine on max settings i assume BK (or godot) has some room for optimization

[fleet canopy]

the game can definitely be optimized further, although Godots implementation of SSAO is incredibly expensive for some reason even when turning on all optimization settings for it

I currently get a stable 185fps on my PC with max settings, I'm hoping to bring that up to a stable 205-210fps on max settings

[analog monolith]

Wait can I give it a try

[fleet canopy]

sure I'll send a key through DMs

[autumn thorn]

same time down to third of a milisecond

thats actually impressive

[hushed blade]

fun

[runic granite]

I see that I have been severly beaten

damn

[fallow wave]

holy

[atomic walrus]

man and I was happy about my time

i guess b hopping is better than sliding all the time huh

[autumn thorn]

the wall run turn section climb skip is insane

gonna steal it now

i tried it before but i couldnt pull it off

[lapis jasper]

its so useful

[autumn thorn]

its so weird tho

[lapis jasper]

also theres a chance you do it without any delay turning

[autumn thorn]

cuz when i turn to the side of the wall it doesnt work

[lapis jasper]

so it feels like one consecutive wall run

[autumn thorn]

oh damn

[lapis jasper]

yeahh

[autumn thorn]

i need to like kill an enemy to get a boost to keep myself on a wall

[lapis jasper]

just jump over and over

on the wall and you climb

[autumn thorn]

oh wait i think i get it

you need to kinda jump off the wall while turning

so the climb dosent start

[lapis jasper]

you need to angle the cursor outwards slightly so it doesnt think your on the same wall while turning

so close yet so far (level 1)

69 is suprior anyways

[runic granite]

For it is I, the magic man

[lapis jasper]

hahaha ive done that a few times

[autumn thorn]

wait i might have discovered revolutionary tech

ok its not revolutionary

but it kinda does help

on the curved wallruns instead of turning with q you can do a wall run on the wall you are supposed to do a climb

and you keep your momentum

seems kinda slower than changing directions during a wall run tho

[lapis jasper]

i never pressed q on curved walls haha

thats what i did on the last one

because they wernt really connected

how tf do you complete level 2 good

[autumn thorn]

cut the last corner really hard

ok im top 1 on 13 levels

work done for today

[atomic walrus]

Insane guys

I was happy with my 1.5 second improvement from the devs time on a singular level 100% because I used a shortcut and I took all day to do that you guys are built different

[autumn thorn]

im aiming to top 1 every level tomorrow

hoping i still have top 1 on like 6 levels

tomorrow

[analog monolith]

1v1 me

[autumn thorn]

nah id win

[sly coyote]

I wonder what the theoretical fastest time is.

[runic granite]

What is the stance on tas speedruns?

Also there goes my refund :(

[hushed blade]

how dare you lmao

[fleet canopy]

wtf, I didn't know you could do that lol

[autumn thorn]

rookie numbers

[hushed blade]

rookie numbers

[autumn thorn]

though someone gonna pull up with like 20 hours

[hushed blade]

yeah i wish i could

we need jonathan here

[autumn thorn]

• pulls up with 1000 hours *

[fleet canopy]

rookie numbers (add ~180 hours for testing outside of steam)

[autumn thorn]

lol

[hushed blade]

we all got ratio'd

[fleet canopy]

lol

[autumn thorn]

i love the feeling when im on world record pace and i just do a horizontal slice on a vertical enemy

[hushed blade]

i am so used to pressing <R> on the tiniest of all mistakes that i sometimes press it instead of <Q> 😭

[autumn thorn]

omg same

[autumn thorn]

i will take that as an challenge

[hushed blade]

uh-oh

[fleet canopy]

good luck lol, if you get sub-20 then you're officially the best player in the world

wait I looked at the wrong level

ignore what I said lol, thought you were talking about level 17

[autumn thorn]

i think its possible to shave off that 1.5 seconds

i just need to do like a perfect run

[fleet canopy]

yeah with the new strats that have been found it's probably possible. My 17 time on that level is from a significantly shorter version of that level

[autumn thorn]

this time was with like 2 edge climbs

its just really hard to pull of the first section of the level

with the 3 wall runs

i just skip them but i like jump on the elevated edges to do it

could probably skip the other wallruns too

im going to go see parrots now so im leaving that for later

[lapis jasper]

did i invent new tech haha

if we could throw the katana 👀

[hushed blade]

holy that would be a nightmare

or the sweetest dream

depends

[lapis jasper]

yeah there would be no need anyways

[fleet canopy]

could be cool

[lapis jasper]

unless levels could be based on it

would be awesome

[fleet canopy]

yeah I'll think about it, maybe you can throw it and it can penetrate multiple enemies at once but you need to go and pick it up again

[hushed blade]

not as long as you can hit through walls i think xd

[fleet canopy]

lol that would be too op

[hushed blade]

sub-1s runs without moving be like

[lapis jasper]

how would you define throw tho

[hushed blade]

aimbot

[lapis jasper]

like what button

[fleet canopy]

ah, maybe middle mouse?

or hold one of the normal slash buttons to throw

[lapis jasper]

then you would get the instant slashes removed

unless you make it a threshhold

hold a bit to slash

[fleet canopy]

you could think of it as a charge up

[hushed blade]

that would feel unresponsible

(i think)

[lapis jasper]

hold longer to throw

[fleet canopy]

press to slash, hold 2-3 seconds to throw

[lapis jasper]

yeah nvm

[hushed blade]

HOW MUCH

[lapis jasper]

damnn

[fleet canopy]

you gotta nerf it somehow lol

it should be used strategically

[hushed blade]

unless throws would be op enough that sounds terribly long

[fleet canopy]

yeah maybe a bit too long

[hushed blade]

ah understandable

[fleet canopy]

but again this is all just an idea, I probably won't add it unless I come up with some cool levels for a mechanic like that

I'm instead going to try and implement some ziplines that the end levels use

[lapis jasper]

ziplines 😅

[fleet canopy]

similar to Apex Legends ziplines where you can attach and detach wherever

[hushed blade]

grapling hooks when

[fleet canopy]

yeah to spice things up a bit

[lapis jasper]

sounds boring -> grapling hook

[fleet canopy]

lol grappling hooks sadly don't fit this game

[hushed blade]

what does the arrow mean here

[lapis jasper]

a solution

[lapis jasper]

ziplines deffo dont

im sorry 😅

[fleet canopy]

any reason why? I just imagine them as being used as a more powerful slide

[lapis jasper]

depends how you implement them

what do you think they will add to the gameplay

ziplines in apex are for convering long distances

your game is very packed

jumpads on the otherhand

i can see

[fleet canopy]

well image the ziplines as being sort of a catapult, you gain a lot of speed when attaching to one and when you release from the ziplines you keep that speed

the ziplines would be used to cover smaller areas and you could for example attach to a shorter zipline, gain a lot of speed and then fly over water and start wall running on a wall further away

that you couldn't reach with normal movement/slide speed

[lapis jasper]

how will you atach yourself to the zipline]

[fleet canopy]

press E when close and/or look towards it

and then E or Jump to release

and you could also have a longer zipline segment where you just need to quickly kill enemies along the zipline

which i think could be really cool

[hushed blade]

beat saber oh no

lmfao

[fleet canopy]

but these are all just ideas, I will prototype them later and then I can send a video here and you can give feedback on it

[lapis jasper]

exacly what i was thinking haha

[fleet canopy]

they're not set in stone

[lapis jasper]

i see how it could work though

[hushed blade]

will ziplines be able to be curved

[fleet canopy]

yeah

[hushed blade]

vertically too?

[fleet canopy]

why not

could be used as a jumppad in that case lol

[hushed blade]

a w e s o m e

[lapis jasper]

im a bit skeptical, ive always liked the levels be close together

[fleet canopy]

I could protoype them, create an example level and add it to an update so you can see if you like them or not

[hushed blade]

you could do whatever we'll still play it

we're addicts

[lapis jasper]

jumppads can be rotated to you go the direction of the jumpad would be awsomeee

[fleet canopy]

I can prototype some jumpads as well : )

[lapis jasper]

and you can chain them together

[fleet canopy]

yeah

[lapis jasper]

have you implemented the ziplines?

[fleet canopy]

not yet, I'm working on fixing a few bugs and getting an update out very soon before I do that

[lapis jasper]

so you havent worked on it

[hushed blade]

it doesn't matter

[fleet canopy]

no, it's just an idea currently

[hushed blade]

@lapis jasper What's your in-game nickname?

[lapis jasper]

okay i would feel really bad if you did 😓

[lapis jasper]

stolen 123

[hushed blade]

Got it, ty

[fleet canopy]

no worries, it's good if you don't like an idea and say so

so I can make it better and/or change my plans

[lapis jasper]

would be cool if you added ice platforms

[hushed blade]

would be cool if you added dragons and guns

AND BUILTIN SIMS

[lapis jasper]

no guns 😂

[hushed blade]

yes

[fleet canopy]

maybe I can add ice platforms after release with a content update

[lapis jasper]

yeahh

[hushed blade]

hell yeah i beat them to it

i absolutely agree this level feels great

[lapis jasper]

imma beat you in a min

[hushed blade]

@autumn thorn I did every single speed-saving trick i could imagine* and still nowhere near you, how the hell did you do it
*upon rewatching i realized that on the last segment i could try sliding off the border so that i gain enough height to avoid either jumping or climbing, but could it really save another .4-.5 seconds? i don't really think so

or is my execution just awful

[hushed blade]

WOAH SUB-17 on 07

and that's i forgot to double-slice the statue

[fleet canopy]

wtf how?

[hushed blade]

fuck i forgot to save

but i'll try to re-do

TL;DR this, but with sliding everywhere and kinda perfect execution

no slowing down at any point (except after slicing the statue)

[fleet canopy]

ah okay, wall jumping in the beginning is pretty smart

[hushed blade]

wait...

that was NOT how everyone set these records?

crazy

[fleet canopy]

I don't know about the others but for me I just jump on the platforms

[atomic walrus]

man I know the perfect routing for 21 im just so bad at executing

dont even know how I got a sub 20

tried for another houyr this morning to pb but only got .180 within 20 again

wish I could TAS it haha

[hushed blade]

By the way @fleet canopy is there a way to view leaderboards without opening the game? I mean, steam hosts them right?

[hushed blade]

build a supersoldier suit and tas it

[fleet canopy]

I can view them through steamworks but thats only available for the developer. I don't know if steam has some public site where you can see leaderboard data for games

[atomic walrus]

I just suck at hitting the guys honestly the most, almost 80% of my goes fail because I just miss a guy

[hushed blade]

sad, thanks anyway

[fleet canopy]

what does TAS mean?

[hushed blade]

basically bots

[atomic walrus]

Tool assissted speedrun

[fleet canopy]

ah ok

[atomic walrus]

most games its you define a set of inputs and a computer plays the game for you

so basically executon not an issue and its more of a puzzle

[hushed blade]

if the game has a tas toolkit

[atomic walrus]

I mean theoretically you can tas any game no

[hushed blade]

true

[atomic walrus]

if you just rig inputs

[hushed blade]

yea

[atomic walrus]

a lot TAS's are on modified version for savestates and precise physics data to make it easier to get even better scores

sometimes TAS is justa recording of a person playing at 2 FPS

[hushed blade]

slideshow

must be so painful

[fleet canopy]

lol

[chrome cave]

Left click to slash, later on power-up for right-click to throw up to 5m in front of you, helps you flip switches in midair 😁

Although what's the difference between horizontal and vertical slash?

[fleet canopy]

their direction and which enemy they can kill. It's basically the same but just there to add at least some variety to the combat

[chrome cave]

so maybe possible to replace with a single slash? and just have the slash go towards the nearest enemy in front of your screen maybe

[fleet canopy]

yeah maybe, the throwing mechanic is just an idea so I will probably not end up adding it. If I want to add more variety then I will primarily focusing on adding more movement options (like a jumpad or zipline)

[chrome cave]

I think it'd be a fun mechanic

[sly coyote]

Today I learned... there is a twitch category for Brutal Katana.

[fleet canopy]

it definitely would be fun. I need to be careful about adding too many things though

[sly coyote]

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/brutal-katana

[fleet canopy]

wow, did twitch create it or can people create it themselves

[sly coyote]

no idea

I thought you did, during development, haha.

[fleet canopy]

nope, lol

[sly coyote]

I was going to ask how you did it 😂

[fleet canopy]

haha I have no idea, maybe you just gotta go on some twitch related site and ask for it?

[sly coyote]

https://www.streamscheme.com/how-to-add-a-game-to-twitch/

must've been something like this

apparently Twitch looks at certain websites to decide what games get added

[fleet canopy]

ah ok, pretty cool that it has been added. hopefully they update the capsule art

it's currently using the oldest one

[autumn thorn]

Skill issue

But fr , jump and climb on the wall for the first climb/turn and also skip the section after slicing the statue

And on the last turn try jumping more to the right , you can actually make pretty far jumps if you have enough speed

I can do screenshots with red arrows n shit when I come back home

[atomic walrus]

this is smart, I wouldnt add to much honestly

more moves especially, if anything I would add more world mechanics rather than player changes

[hushed blade]

skip the section after slicing the statue?

[autumn thorn]

first turn you jump onto elevation and try to do like a edge vault

you can jump onto the elevation even sooner than the arror shows if u want

[hushed blade]

oh god i can't believe it

i have beaten myself by 0.05 seconds

on 02

[hushed blade]

no idea how this ended up being faster than keeping the speed wow

thank you

[hushed blade]

may you elaborate here? how can i "skip" something, i mean i need to slice all the heads right?

[atomic walrus]

is double killing faster? how are you double killing so consistently as well lol

[hushed blade]

according to jonathan yes

when you kill things you slow down, but the timer does not

so if you kill multiple things at a time, you spend less time slowed down

[autumn thorn]

i was also suprised

ok statue skip part

[hushed blade]

as for the last part i don't know

i certainly don't play any shooters

[atomic walrus]

no matter my motivation im not built for these games 😔

[hushed blade]

"Breathe deep, Madeline. You can do it."

a quote from a game that a lot of people claim to be hard - Celeste

[atomic walrus]

I think i suck with a mouse

celeste wasnt too bad but I dont speedrun it haha

[hushed blade]

oh well yeah

[autumn thorn]

ok i finally rememberd it

you just kinda just jump off around halfway down the slide and aim for that corner to bounce off of

to climb faster

[hushed blade]

holy crap

and i also need to kill enemies while doing that right?

[autumn thorn]

yeah

[hushed blade]

welp

thanks a lot

[autumn thorn]

wait

last part

that is around where i jump off

thats like what saves most time i think here

[hushed blade]

like this but still perfect-er

[autumn thorn]

i fucking hate 07

[hushed blade]

i fucking love 07

(absolutely not because this is the only map where im first 😭 )

[autumn thorn]

(time to change that)

[hushed blade]

"YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME"

(i wanted to send a gif but forgot they're banned here, oops)

[autumn thorn]

1984

[hushed blade]

@autumn thorn you, my friend, is a wizard

i did a totally fucked up run using your methods

and still got 13.9s

LESS than what i usually got with my old attempts (>14s)

holy yes

[autumn thorn]

now tell me how to be top one on 24

[hushed blade]

am i top on 24?

no way

[autumn thorn]

oooh thats how you do the first part

[hushed blade]

ah yes sure

i'll tell you now

i am the most proficient person on this level i assure you

(i haven't even played it yet xd)

[hushed blade]

but i'll be glad to show how i did everything that i did

though i didn't do much yet

[hushed blade]

apparently others did it somehow else

(i think/guess)

[hushed blade]

yoo

congrats

i am homeless now

[lapis jasper]

ahah thanks and sorry

[autumn thorn]

i was trying to time the jumps perfectly

[hushed blade]

@lapis jasper nuh uh

:D

[lapis jasper]

nuh uh

:)

[hushed blade]

yo

[lapis jasper]

i recorded it too lol

[hushed blade]

same

[lapis jasper]

i can do faster i think

[hushed blade]

faster better stronger

[autumn thorn]

nah id win

[hushed blade]

go ahead

the last section is so hard to pass on high speed

[autumn thorn]

i win

[hushed blade]

you fly past the last island but not far enough to reach the ground

[hushed blade]

holy moly

[autumn thorn]

top one on 16 levels

8 more to go

honestly i feel like 01 is gonna be the hardest to beat

or 24

[hushed blade]

the cornercutting on 01 is crazy

[lapis jasper]

i win

i can do better

[hushed blade]

no you can't

(please)

lmfao

[autumn thorn]

i win

(we gonna optimise the shit out of this level)

how i feel going back to back with new records rn (jjk spoilers)

[hushed blade]

at last

[fleet canopy]

yeah I think the only thing I'm going to add before release mechanics-/movement wise is at least one more environmental movement option (zipline, jumpad, etc)

[lapis jasper]

you were saying?

[lapis jasper]

totally

[hushed blade]

fucking how

oh wait it's 02

nevermind lmfao

[fallow wave]

how do you do good in level 1

[lapis jasper]

insta turn when slashing the statue

then slide

instantly

[hushed blade]

YEAH

[fallow wave]

how is it possible to go faster

i'm so confused

[fleet canopy]

slide at the start instead of running, then you reach max speed a bit faster and don't go as close to the statue as you are doing now

try to kill the statue from as far away as possible while turning around as quickly as possible

[fleet canopy]

damn 👀 I realized I forgot to add collision to the trees in level 07, I've added it to the next update so you will probably be able to get an even faster time by wall jumping on the tree next to the curved wall

[hushed blade]

and there i hoped that was the last time i touched 07 lol

[fleet canopy]

lol

[fallow wave]

what are these random flashes of light

they're so annoying lmao

[hushed blade]

god damn it i managed to get to the second place on 01

tiny 8 milliseconds away from 3rd place

craaaaazy

[hushed blade]

god blessed you

[fleet canopy]

it's the auto-exposure going crazy, it will be fixed in the next update

[hushed blade]

holy moly 1st place on 01

[lapis jasper]

yeah

[hushed blade]

you beat me to it

[fleet canopy]

lol

[lapis jasper]

i think sliding is slower sometimes

🤔

[lapis jasper]

(than running)

also avoid jumping

if you have to go down to the lowest level before you do

[hushed blade]

yeah jumping resets speed quickly

[hushed blade]

so, do i instead climb?

[lapis jasper]

no

just jump later

[hushed blade]

ah well i do that

i just suck

[lapis jasper]

yeahh

noo

[hushed blade]

kmfao

xd

[lapis jasper]

i couldnt beat you for ages

[hushed blade]

perfect

[hushed blade]

you beat me on 07 at :34 and two minutes later you beat me on 01 wdym ages lol

[lapis jasper]

level 1 i was 3rd for ages i think

[hushed blade]

same i think

until half an hour ago

[atomic walrus]

finally pb'd 21 again oh my god

I need to learn how to double slash because I can never get it

im sure you can double slash in like 3 sections

pb'd again lets go

im getting better

[hushed blade]

from what i experience it looks like the "slash zone" is a frustum with the wider base closer to the camera

not sure how useful is that, but eh

am i doing something wrong or i just need to do better

[atomic walrus]

I should try three starring all levels maybe Ill get better enough to get a defendable time

@hushed blade can you double slash the first two enemies on 20?

ive tried like 50 times havent done it once

[hushed blade]

let me see

yea first attempt

[atomic walrus]

what am I missing 😭

[hushed blade]

try lining them up

[atomic walrus]

can you go slow and screenshot your positioning before you double slash

I feel like something like this should double slash but It never does

[hushed blade]

it probably should

please wait, compressing and uploading takes so much time on my network lol

[atomic walrus]

its ok

thansk for the help

this is so frustrating

uive gotten it by accident maybe 5 times

[lapis jasper]

i dont use q

high sensitivity

[hushed blade]

kinda like this

[atomic walrus]

ok wild guess I dropped my resolution to 10% to squeeze any extra frames in case it was a frame issue, at 10% did it 4/5 times ok

not saying anything but

can someone try capping themselves to 30

thats how much I get normally

[hushed blade]

fps?

[atomic walrus]

yes

[hushed blade]

OH YEAH

[atomic walrus]

Ok its nmot me then

[hushed blade]

i barely can double slice

[atomic walrus]

its actually impossible at low fps

i was wondering if I just sucked

the second I pumped it up to 45 i can do it

gonna be playing at this resolution then I guess haha

never mind this unplayable

Jonathan, add settings to strip this game down to bare bones let me run this shi on my potato 🙏

I need a new computer hmm

[runic granite]

How the **** are you a second faster?!??

sorry

there

[atomic walrus]

who?

what level

[runic granite]

02

[lapis jasper]

tf is that 😂

[atomic walrus]

I get 45 fps on the lowest 😔

seems like you need around that to double slash

cuz on 30 i can never do it

[lapis jasper]

whats your specs

[atomic walrus]

terrible ass

its a 10 year old pc with integrated graphics

[fleet canopy]

I've fixed it now, I increased the duration a bit and now I can constistently do a double kill with 30 fps

[atomic walrus]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
with integrated Intel HD 630

[lapis jasper]

holy

[atomic walrus]

its like bottom 20% of PCs im pretty sure haha

[lapis jasper]

why do you have that low specs oh my

[atomic walrus]

Cuz I don't do that much on it lol

[lapis jasper]

do they even sell laptops with those specs anymore

[atomic walrus]

And PCs are expensive

No my laptop is probably better

Actually

Lemme try that

After I eat

[lapis jasper]

make sure not to have anything else running at the same time

[atomic walrus]

I think it's a graphics issue not CPU so is that gonna help really

[fleet canopy]

yeah the GPU is the bottleneck

your CPU is powerful enough for this game, I just gotta optimize the GPU load

[runic granite]

How many tris are the heads and statues?

[fleet canopy]

heads are 300 each and statue is close to 2k

[runic granite]

Thta's not even bad

[fleet canopy]

The most expensive models are the palm trees which area 5 or 7k each iirc

[atomic walrus]

My computer is bad, I don't really play any 3d games on it tho
I'm gonna buy a new one once I start working again during the fall

[fleet canopy]

but in the current build I don't have LODs or Occlusion enabled so that will help a bit

[atomic walrus]

I will await the next patch eagerly

[runic granite]

Okay...

Now I only need to shave off 900 ms

Who is 123_stolen?

I need your tactics

[hushed blade]

@runic granite

read a few messages from there on

[runic granite]

How is that even fasster :(((

[hushed blade]

i know, right?

holy guacamole

almost sub-13

[runic granite]

Damn

It is faster...?

[hushed blade]

zurek's method is the fastest known so far

(sorry if i shortened your nickname wrongly)

NOO ALMOST

yeah

[lapis jasper]

climbing feels so inconsistent

anyone else keeps sliding off walls expecting to climb

[fleet canopy]

it's because the tutorial is lying

[hushed blade]

sometimes, usually when i point my mouse too low don't look "up" enough

[fleet canopy]

you need to hold space when coming in contact with the wall to actually start wall climbing, but the input has a buffer which is why it works sometimes without doing it.

you can release space when you've started to wall climb

(and forward must be held during the whole wall climb)

[hushed blade]

is this "wrong" and will be fixed?

or the tutorial will be fixed?

[fleet canopy]

yeah it's wrong, in the next update it will be correct i.e you only need to move into a wall to start wall climbing

[hushed blade]

nice

[fleet canopy]

no input (except forward) will be required

[atomic walrus]

have you tested not requireing q to turn around and wall jump?

[fleet canopy]

yeah, it's really nice and will be the standard

[atomic walrus]

awesome

when are you planning to push changes to steam?

[fleet canopy]

I'll hopefully be able to send out an update tomorrow

it will not include fixes for all bugs found, but it has some gameplay improvements and smaller bug fixes

[atomic walrus]

Oh, i enountered another small bug, sometimes the window positions itself with the top left corner in the middle of my screen rather than in the center when I go windowed mode

[fleet canopy]

• annoying flashing will be completely gone

that might be fixed now

[atomic walrus]

I feel like its when I alt tab out

[fleet canopy]

it hasn't happened to me yet anyway

[atomic walrus]

while game is loading

and it has the little baby window

[fleet canopy]

ah okay, I just tested alt-tabbing and it didn't happen to me

[hushed blade]

you're impossible

[fleet canopy]

so it's hopefully fixed now since I made the window movable

[lapis jasper]

also happends to me

[lapis jasper]

you can skip running through the area where you hit the stature and just jump around it

i abuse the ability to hit through walls

[atomic walrus]

could you also make it resizeable?

my monitor is 4:3

[fleet canopy]

it is! but it currently has a forced 16:9 aspect ratio

[atomic walrus]

to add to the shit graphics I have a funny monitor

oh, nice

[hushed blade]

like this???

[atomic walrus]

I wasnt able to resize it in this patch

[lapis jasper]

yeah

[hushed blade]

goddammit

[fleet canopy]

I meant it is possible in the next update

[lapis jasper]

go ontop of the curb

[hushed blade]

still

[lapis jasper]

always go on the curb when you have to climb

[hushed blade]

ah

wait

you're about the second climb section?

[lapis jasper]

at the start where you have to jump the gap, slide and jump straight to the curb

makes climbing shorter

[lapis jasper]

both

you can slide all the way down the curb on the second

[hushed blade]

i think i do that

let me finish sending the video

[lapis jasper]

kk

[hushed blade]

i meant that methaphorically

or smth like that

not to interrupt you

like this?

[lapis jasper]

yea

i dont climb on the first first

i find it quicker to go on the curb, jump into the gap, instaturn and slide

[hushed blade]

i used to do that but found this method quicker

[lapis jasper]

but maybe im wrong

[hushed blade]

lmao

[lapis jasper]

hmmm

[hushed blade]

at least it allowed me to beat my previous records

do you mean like i do here? #1198303097592754206 message

[lapis jasper]

yeah i do it on the other side of the curb though 😅

your way is faster
