jump

#

quick cast and down

leaden hedge
#

your invinicible through the startup

#

dd has A LOT of iframes

weary stream
#

even if the ability is ingame

leaden hedge
#

even after a major nerf, its only a few frames

weary stream
#

you have to work around it

leaden hedge
#

that you can get hit

weary stream
#

if you really dont want the player to use it punish the player from using it, not remove it

cunning lagoon
#

ok im listening

weary stream
#

like using it on the ground makes the ceiling fall rocks

cunning lagoon
#

what would you do

#

alright that actually sounds good

vapid cape
#

Aw fuck, I gotta go. Shit's happening

#

bbl

weary stream
#

or you can have breakable spameable platforms instead of ground

hazy sentinel
#

first time I've seen bbl in 25 years

native wing
#

what if simo ban

weary stream
#

and if you use dd you fall

cunning lagoon
#

what's stupid is you calling ddark and shade cloak balanced

#

but i think that's a good solution

weary stream
#

shade cloak is balanced

copper nacelle
#

x

native wing
#

yea

weary stream
#

it even has a cd

hazy sentinel
#

debug mod oemplus is balanced

weary stream
#

if it didnt have a cd okay but the cd is fine

native wing
#

ddark not too mucj

leaden hedge
#

shade cloak isnt' balanced

copper nacelle
#

it makes so many attacks so much less interesting to dodge

leaden hedge
#

considering every single boss is designed to be beatable naked with just nail

native wing
#

if it didnt have a cooldown it def would be unbalance

copper nacelle
#

except radiance

native wing
#

and tl

copper nacelle
#

i guess

leaden hedge
#

maybe they changed that in gm

native wing
#

and wd

weary stream
#

the problem again

#

is not shade cloak

#

thing about this:

leaden hedge
#

wd is free nail only

native wing
#

oh yea

#

jumpies

weary stream
#

shade cloak is a mid~late game ability, so most bosses are not designed around it, even so, its not 100% required to beat the game, again, bosses have to be dodgeable without it, so they cant really be designed around shade cloak

copper nacelle
#

yeah but nkg still gets fucked by shade cloak

weary stream
#

the only boss that has a pattern like that is traitor lord because you need shade cloak (or isma i think) to get into quenn's gardens

copper nacelle
#

you can get trapped by pillars and be fine because sc

#

uppercut is super easy with sc

#

divekick is easier with sc

#

everything is easier with sc

weary stream
#

making patterns around what the game offers instead of removing abilities gives bosses more appealing and original combos

copper nacelle
#

you can even dodge part of puffer with sc if you fuck anything up by dashing against the wall

weary stream
#

and the player has to think more what to do

#

its way better than removing the ability in the fight

native wing
#

wtf do you have against casasasaual players

weary stream
#

like i said, punish the player

leaden hedge
#

its like saying you should pretend flukenest doesn't exist on 1.1.1.4 and ignore the fact it literally destroys every boss in seconds, or solve it by giving stuff like 8k hp

river eagle
#

Really the game is designed with the first playthrough on mind, obviously. In that case shade dash is just fine.

leaden hedge
#

flukenest is a garbage mechanic

cunning lagoon
#

is it though?

leaden hedge
#

shade cloak is a garbage mechanic

native wing
#

'mechanic'

cunning lagoon
#

the first time i killed nkg i only took one hit

#

because i shade cloaked through literally everything

native wing
#

cool

cunning lagoon
#

it took no skill whatsoever

river eagle
#

yeah the first time you killed it

native wing
#

lies

river eagle
#

after dying multiple times

weary stream
#

no, you are comparing different things

cunning lagoon
#

yeah and i would've died way more times had it not been for this one broken ability

weary stream
#

flukenest is actually bad design

native wing
#

flukenest suck

leaden hedge
#

so is sc πŸ€”

weary stream
#

and giving a boss more hp doesnt make it more hard but more painful and boring

river eagle
#

so the entire ability should not exist just because it makes a single boss easeir in the game?

copper nacelle
#

dodging anything with sc is like 3000% more free

cunning lagoon
#

hal the point i'm trying to make is

leaden hedge
#

it makes everything easier

cunning lagoon
#

the ability is absurdly broken

copper nacelle
#

ngg uppercut is just one example

river eagle
#

the ability itself is fun to use

cunning lagoon
#

you just can't deny that

river eagle
#

and that's how it was originally designed

leaden hedge
#

theres no timing or skill involved with it

cunning lagoon
#

if you deny that the shade cloak is broken i just don't know what the fuck to tell you

leaden hedge
#

its literally just a get out of jail free card

#

for any attack

native wing
#

oh no this game became easier,,,,,, AAhhhhhhhh

#

🀒

leaden hedge
#

like it even dodges ngg stuff for free

#

even like p2 pufferfish on old ngg

#

you can just dash into the corner and dodge whatever happens

copper nacelle
#

you can still dash down through balls

weary stream
#

shade cloak is not that easy to use unless you have several hours with it and specially if you know enemy patterns before hand

river eagle
#

I'm not denying that it can make the game easier, but still. The game wasn't designed originally for what you guys are using it for

copper nacelle
#

makes puffer way easier

#

no need to care about the balls if you're invin to everything that's not spikes

civic hare
#

remember that shade cloak is a late game item (relative to other permanent upgrades). it’s basically the screw attack of hollow knight

weary stream
#

and in my personal experience shade cloak only makes dodging more interesting

cunning lagoon
#

wdym shade cloak isn't easy to use

#

you just press dash and you are invulnerable

leaden hedge
#

its got more iframes than a dark souls roll

#

and it has no startup

vapid cape
#

Back already. But I want to point out another attack shade cloak breaks and it's on PV. Be honest, do any of you know where his throwing knives go or try to read them and actually dodge, or do you just mindlessly phase through the entire dangerzone without actually looking to see if you were ever in danger in the first place?

leaden hedge
#

you just press it if you might take damage

vapid cape
#

because pretty much everyone does the latter

weary stream
#

if you really want to make shade cloak useless in a fight implement a proper mechanic with BLACK projectiles that hit the player even if he uses shade cloak

river eagle
#

oh c'mon why does absolutely everything have to be about skill? Can you not enjoy a video game otherwise? Or at least let other people enjoy it?

weary stream
#

something that the player can link to the shade cloak

native wing
#

next person to say shade cloak is eat rat penis

cunning lagoon
#

well the thing is hal

#

im not sure if you have been following the argument since the beginning

leaden hedge
#

because we're making content thats for better players

#

not casuals πŸ€”

cunning lagoon
#

but we are talking about a modded boss meant to be insanely difficult

river eagle
#

well I probably haven't

weary stream
#

you are making a boss for challenge

native wing
#

ohk

weary stream
#

and also for fun

#

right?

leaden hedge
#

no

vapid cape
#

I don't think shade cloak should be gone from the game either, no. It's fine as it is.

weary stream
#

then what are you doing

cunning lagoon
#

no fun allowed here

leaden hedge
#

have you played ngg1 πŸ€”

weary stream
#

yeah

copper nacelle
#

i had fun with ngg1

vapid cape
#

but there really is an argument to be made about how it can fuck with boss design

river eagle
#

The only thing I saw being argued was that shade cloak should be removed for being too OP

leaden hedge
#

its supposed to be 2 things

#

garbage and hard

native wing
#

lol general milky became eat rat penis

river eagle
#

so I guess I missed a bit of what was being discussed

copper nacelle
#

p1 was fun

cunning lagoon
#

yeah well i would straight up remove it from the game if i was a dev

#

but that's not an option

leaden hedge
#

it should just have less iframes

cunning lagoon
#

so we mean this fight specifically

weary stream
#

again

#

why are you blamming the ability

cunning lagoon
#

now i don't think just disabling it for the fight is a clean solution, and i think wyvern has some cool ideas

weary stream
#

when you can work around it?

native wing
#

yrd

weary stream
#

projectiles that hit the character

cunning lagoon
#

BUT you can't say it's not op because that's just wrong

weary stream
#

even with shade cloak

#

breakable platforms

leaden hedge
#

because working around it means either putting in unintuitive mechanics

#

or giant slow hitboxes

weary stream
#

or failing rocks after dd

#

no

#

no and no

#

intuitive is:

native wing
cunning lagoon
#

i mean at this point i have to think you are purposefully ignoring what i'm saying

weary stream
#

show windup with a clear intention -> show attack -> finish attack

vapid cape
#

I'm not a designer so 56 can do whatever he wants, but I do understand shade cloak very well and know how it changes how you'd approach different attacks, and how this could effect 56's boss negatively. That's why I'm here backing the argument up.

leaden hedge
#

intuitive is having ground that breaks, like literally every other boss

#

or random shit happening when you shade cloak

weary stream
#

its not op, if it was op everyone could just do radiant nightmare first time with it

cunning lagoon
#

what

#

what even

#

ok

#

i cant

#

lmao

copper nacelle
#

what

leaden hedge
#

shaman stone is op

weary stream
#

i cant beat radiant nightmare grimm even with shade cloak

copper nacelle
#

everyone can't do radiant nightmare with 144 damage flukenest first try

hazy sentinel
#

it's not op unless brizzy can kill wk first try with it

copper nacelle
#

and 144 damage flukenest is broken as fuck

native wing
#

WHat even amirite teamcherry

weary stream
#

and no, its not unintuitive, you are wrong with that, if you properly show the stuff, its fine

hazy sentinel
#

yeah cuz 144 fluke doesnt exist concurrently with radiant nkg lol 56 u dum

weary stream
#

there is a clear difference between unintuitive and unpredictable

native wing
#

you are 144 fluke

copper nacelle
#

<@&283468468592836608> ban

leaden hedge
#

i mean in no other fight does using ddark make the ground disappear

#

so why should it in this one

#

other than to prevent you using ddark

weary stream
#

because its a new boss fight, what else?

leaden hedge
#

and if you don't want people using ddark, don't let them use ddark

hazy sentinel
#

make ground under elderbug breakable

weary stream
#

do you think you have to do it within what is in the game already?

native wing
#

yes

leaden hedge
#

like thats such a blatantly tacked on mechanic

weary stream
#

if you was making grimm for the first time as team cherry

#

would you say "no, no add fire pillars because they are different from the game already"

#

and i'm pretty sure that there are more ways to do it

native wing
#

kill simo

leaden hedge
#

ddark isn't even a problem anyway

#

soul gain will be ripped like 1/3 of the way through the fight

#

its only shade cloak I care about

weary stream
#

for share cloak you have even more solutions xD

#

the easiest one is making projectiles black and glowing, like if they were immune to shade cloak

leaden hedge
#

so the opposite of what black glowy stuff does

trim totem
#

which fight?

cunning lagoon
#

pure prince

#

56's buffed version of pure vessel

weary stream
#

what black glowy stuff

cunning lagoon
#

shade gates

leaden hedge
#

shade gates

trim totem
#

are yall testing it?

weary stream
#

oh yeah

#

exactly

cunning lagoon
#

nah we are discussing ideas

weary stream
#

and they are easy to recognize

trim totem
#

whats this about ddark

weary stream
#

as they have an specific effect

cunning lagoon
#

and arguing about whether or not shade cloak is balanced apparently

copper nacelle
#

pv doesn't recoil right

weary stream
#

well, balanced or not i think you should work with what the game offers anyway

#

if you dont like an ability you can punish it

leaden hedge
#

I mean I might just give it a massive cooldown, and do a full screen attack once a minute

weary stream
#

or make it useless by doing attacks around it

#

again

leaden hedge
#

that you need shade cloak to dodge

weary stream
#

why

#

thats garbage design

leaden hedge
#

because you don't need shade cloak to dodge other stuff

native wing
#

have you guys even killed elderbug yet smh

leaden hedge
#

don't use it

copper nacelle
#

@cunning lagoon pv doesn't recoil right

cunning lagoon
#

you mean if ht etakes knockback?

copper nacelle
#

yeah

cunning lagoon
#

i dont think he does no

copper nacelle
#

ok good

cunning lagoon
#

rip heavy blow strats

copper nacelle
#

i disabled that for lost lord cause knockback ruins everything

cunning lagoon
#

yeah its horrible

copper nacelle
#

you doublehit like every second

trim totem
#

stagger tho

copper nacelle
#

no staggers

#

❌

#

stagger machine removed

trim totem
#

big oof

#

faster?

cunning lagoon
#

staggers are fine but some bosses just feel really janky with the knockback they take

native wing
#

how to beat dlkurosh and his future childfen
what charms

copper nacelle
#

faster ofc

#

yeah

weary stream
#

if you still remove shade cloak you wont ever learn to make a proper boss, just saying

cunning lagoon
#

like shriek sucking hornet towards you

trim totem
#

remove shade cloak for what

cunning lagoon
#

or idk literally any boss that takes knockback

#

pp

copper nacelle
#

that abbreviation really makes me want to unalive

leaden hedge
#

ill just make every attack obnoxiously slow

#

so you have to time it correctly

native wing
#

your a knockback pp

weary stream
#

do as you wish, if it works

#

i gave you a lot of solutions

#

its your first boss?

leaden hedge
#

what solutions πŸ€”

native wing
#

shutthup

weary stream
#

for dd breakable platforms, falling ceiling for example
for shade cloak unpassable shaded attacks, big attacks, long attacks and spammed attacks (cd)

trim totem
#

what's this argument about

native wing
#

lightbringer omggrub is a mod hollowface for pro ebic πŸ† videa gamers πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

leaden hedge
#

big / long aka obnoxiously slow

cunning lagoon
#

or alternatively we can just disable both and design the boss around an unupgraded player

weary stream
#

also

leaden hedge
#

and spammed attacks create visual clutter

cunning lagoon
#

it's a lazy solution but it works

weary stream
#

by the same reason you say shade cloak is broken you can say the same thing about dash

leaden hedge
#

unless you mean the same attack really fast

copper nacelle
#

dash doesn't have 5 years of iframes

#

dash just makes you move

trim totem
#

you can just not use shade cloak on a lot of bosses

leaden hedge
#

i forgot dash just let you ignore mechanics

weary stream
#

yeah, you dont have to make a bullet hell but for example a wave of 3 attacks (the same attack) is not dodgeable with shade cloak

native wing
#

next person to say shade cloak is cut off nose

cunning lagoon
#

shade cloak

copper nacelle
#

shade cloak

hazy sentinel
#

hi cut off nose

native wing
#

bye😰

hazy sentinel
#

im scenic

weary stream
#

yeah but dash allows you to dodge everything anyway

cunning lagoon
#

yes but you actually have to use your brain to dodge things with your dash

weary stream
#

shade cloak is mostly the iframes onto the dash

cunning lagoon
#

yes

weary stream
#

you have to use your brain to dodge with the iframes too

cunning lagoon
#

no

copper nacelle
#

no

cunning lagoon
#

that's the whole point

copper nacelle
#

you press the button

cunning lagoon
#

you press dash and you are immune to damage

hollow pier
#

yes i quite like using normal dash to dodge the radiance sweep beam

#

really my favourite

weary stream
#

huh

#

you guys have years of experience with shade cloak i see

cunning lagoon
#

...yes?

trim totem
#

i think absrad is fine with shade cloak

copper nacelle
#

absrad ofc but like most bosses

weary stream
#

i cant use shade cloak by intuition? i have to use my brain to dodge attacks with it

copper nacelle
weary stream
#

and time them properly

#

and not get hit because a bad shade cloak

copper nacelle
#

i guess i need more hours

trim totem
#

yeah but you can avoid using it for a lot of bosses

hollow pier
#

how do you have that many hours

leaden hedge
#

we seem to have flipped

copper nacelle
#

i leave the game on overnight

hollow pier
#

oh

copper nacelle
#

repeatedly

leaden hedge
#

to talking about not using shade cloak πŸ€”

hollow pier
#

does that constitute 5x my hours

copper nacelle
#

probably

#

i wouldn't be surprised

#

i left it on for like 5 days without touching it once

weary stream
#

this make me think

#

that i should expose my game mechanics

#

and find what you think

#

and what would the best approach for them

#

as i have more iframes and probably broken abilities in my game

#

like there is an ability that is literally like crystal heart but in the air... but 3 dashes

leaden hedge
#

remove the iframes is the best approach

weary stream
#

i need the iframes

copper nacelle
#

iframes makes stuff broken fast

weary stream
#

i have stuff built around it

leaden hedge
#

heres an idea, position correctly xd

cunning lagoon
#

xd

weary stream
#

you need to go through stuff

trim totem
#

that's why i thought they should let you turn off abilities in godseeker

weary stream
#

do you want to discuss about them and see if there is something i can change?

cunning lagoon
#

yeah i wish you could chjoose what you want to have

#

and nail level and all that crap

copper nacelle
#

unless you punish stuff harder than absrad and have less iframes than ddark

trim totem
#

yeah

#

rn it's pretty much just

#

debug

cunning lagoon
#

yea

leaden hedge
#

I mean theres not much to discuss

#

iframes are almost always balanced around having a bunch of shit, or shit happen really fast

#

so you either have a bunch of shit

#

or it happens really fast

#

or its easy

copper nacelle
#

i mean it does depend on the boss

weary stream
#

The game is built around big spaces and a lot of mobility, that said:

The dash is an early game ability and its 8 dir, it can break glass rocks
It has a LATE GAME upgrade called flash that allows the player to go through projectiles, enemies and walls

#

these two first

copper nacelle
#

absrad shade cloak is good

#

ddark on absrad still ree

trim totem
#

most people need shade cloak lol

leaden hedge
#

i mean the timing isn't hard

cunning lagoon
#

inb4 "ddark on absrad is not broken bc you need to time it"

copper nacelle
#

highly woke

native wing
#

ddark

hollow pier
#

i hear if you ddark into the absrad spikes you die

cunning lagoon
#

it must be true then

weary stream
#

yeah but i mean, i'm not talking now about shade cloak, i said it other days but i'm working in a game for over a year and i have the mechanics set up, someone told me that the game could break up really easily if i dont take care about them

#

so read above and check

leaden hedge
#

you can balance having retarded amounts of iframes, your mechanics are just going to be bad

#

i.e. dark souls

weary stream
#

there are a lot more movement abilities

native wing
#

next person to use the word broken replaces verulean

copper nacelle
#

ur mum broken

native wing
#

yay

copper nacelle
#

hmm

weary stream
#

why would it be broken if you work the game around it?

cunning lagoon
#

ok but your game is balanced around said abilities

#

hk isn't

#

there are 2 bosses designed with the shade cloak in mind

#

it breaks every single other boss

copper nacelle
#

pure vessel is still better without shade cloak too

#

imo

cunning lagoon
#

yeah

weary stream
#

what is the other one that is not traitor lord?

cunning lagoon
#

rad/absrad

leaden hedge
#

just because you design your game to be balanced around something doesn't mean the mechanics aren't going to be ass and unfun

#

look at for honor

weary stream
#

thats why i'm asking

leaden hedge
#

perfectly balanced, but parry windows are massive

trim totem
#

it breaks them for people who are decent at the game

weary stream
#

what is not fun for you

leaden hedge
#

so its a win/win strategy to not attack

weary stream
#

and what is not balanced for you

cunning lagoon
#

case in point, pv has an attack where he shoots a wide arc of darts and you are supposed to weave in between them

#

you know what everyone does

trim totem
#

most hollow knight players need it

cunning lagoon
#

shade cloak through them

leaden hedge
#

iframes aren't fun, because the counter design to them is spam or unreactable stuff

#

neither of which are interesting mechanics

copper nacelle
#

ds has fun bosses with iframes imo

trim totem
#

most ds bosses are fun

copper nacelle
#

but the game is like 3000% more based around it than like hk

weary stream
#

huh those are not the only designs to them

leaden hedge
#

and ds is boringly easy

copper nacelle
#

that's why you do challenge runs

weary stream
#

you mean they arent fun because they make everything "dodgeable"?

trim totem
#

challenge runs

native wing
#

anyone using dark theme as of 9:32 , Oct 5, 2018

leaden hedge
#

its not even "dodgeable"

native wing
#

is fat

leaden hedge
#

its free

#

99% of the time you can be barely paying attention

trim totem
#

you can just

leaden hedge
#

and press roll pretty much whenever

#

and still dodge

trim totem
#

turn it off

weary stream
#

thats god level of hk playing imo

leaden hedge
#

like ds has literally retarded amounts of iframes

cunning lagoon
leaden hedge
#

its disgusting

weary stream
#

pretty sure you can do a hitless colosseum of fools with shade cloak..

cunning lagoon
#

i can...?

trim totem
#

and most people still find it difficult

weary stream
#

so you cant really say its unbalanced for all

#

90% of the people that play the game in their first run wont even know when to shade cloak and will do it wrong

native wing
#

what if you had a son and his i frames were retarded and the other kids made fun of him, kdt

leaden hedge
#

then hes retarded

#

why can't he have like a normal amount of iframes

trim totem
#

a decent amount of bosses in ds can be done without rolling

copper nacelle
#

isn't it all

native wing
#

like father, like son 😎 , kdt

copper nacelle
#

i think aura even did no sprint SoC

trim totem
#

but really all of this is an absolute non issue for the overwhelming majority of people

#

so there's no reason for tc to care

leaden hedge
#

who cares about tc

#

this is about hard modded bosses

copper nacelle
#

yeah but the original context was for a mod too

#

yeah

trim totem
#

then just design it without needing shade cloak and do it without shade cloak

#

if you're modding the game you have access to debug mod

#

you can turn off abilitiws

copper nacelle
#

but the point is to be hard for everyone who plays the mod

#

and we were saying y/n to disabling shade cloak for everyone when they start the fight

trim totem
#

then give a disclaimer to turn off shade cloak

leaden hedge
#

but unless I design the boss to work around shade cloak, its bad design πŸ€”

copper nacelle
#

but wyvern and such were saying disabling shade cloak is shit design

weary stream
#

with the amounts of hours you have in hk you might need two different difficulties

trim totem
#

is that what they were saying?

copper nacelle
#

yes

leaden hedge
#

as if we designed shade cloak and now have to deal with it

native wing
#

Why does thk's block sometimes stop the shade dash and sometimes lets it pass through?

weary stream
#

designing around shade cloak doesnt necessarely makes it need shade cloak to pass it

trim totem
#

then ignore them

copper nacelle
#

got em

weary stream
#

you can even check if the player has shade cloak and if yes use x pattern

native wing
#

why js everyone thonking my comment

#

smh my head

weary stream
#

and if he doesnt, dont use it

#

or just a variation of the attack

hollow pier
#

i wish jumping existed

hazy sentinel
#

hahayes time to add more fsms to hk

copper nacelle
hollow pier
#

do it

native wing
#

mean

hazy sentinel
#

x bar

weary stream
#

huh

#

kdt, you seem to hate shade cloak so much for no reason

native wing
#

shhhhhh

hollow pier
#

kdt hates pretty much everything for no reason

#

i think it's because he's from the uk

weary stream
#

i will ask for feedback when he is not here i guess

#

you guys think about hollow knight like a sport more than a game

leaden hedge
#

i only hate things that are bad

#

like fluke, dd

weary stream
#

nope

#

fluke is bad

trim totem
#

if they don't want to use shade cloak to make it more fun there's nothing wrong with that...

weary stream
#

but not shade cloak

#

everyone hates fluke i think

#

the wrong thing is removing shade cloak, not working or not around it

trim totem
#

you don't have to take their dislike of shade cloak so personally

weary stream
#

if they dont work around it, it can be easy

native wing
#

what if fluke was my only friend😑

weary stream
#

if they work around it, it will be balanced

cunning lagoon
#

i can be your new only friend

hazy sentinel
#

if they balance it, it will be balanced

they have no obligation to work around shade cloak

native wing
#

ah y

weary stream
#

fluke is gross :<

#

get a grub as a friend

hazy sentinel
#

they should just work around 144 damage flukenest

#

then it'll be balanced

copper nacelle
#

saving grubs is illegal sorry

leaden hedge
#

ngg2 will have 20,000 hp to balance around fluke

cunning lagoon
#

lmao

weary stream
#

you can nerf fluke if its bugged

copper nacelle
#

nerf shade cloak by giving it 0 iframes

native wing
#

wait then

cunning lagoon
#

fluke isn't broken because if you are bad it won't let you hitless the colosseum

native wing
#

whats shade cloak now

weary stream
#

you can nerf it to projectiles btw

#

shade cloak is supposedly to be used on the doors

cunning lagoon
#

?

native wing
#

watt

copper nacelle
#

shade gates

weary stream
#

that was the first intention

copper nacelle
#

i guess

weary stream
#

yeah

cunning lagoon
#

yes i know what they mean by doors

weary stream
#

the other thing is secoundary

hazy sentinel
#

the first reason TC added shade cloak was blackmoth elegy

leaden hedge
#

i have a better idea

cunning lagoon
#

clearly the shade cloak was designed as a combat powerup as well, given that it gives you iframes for the entire duration of your dash πŸ€”

leaden hedge
#

ill make every attack drop the fireballs as ngg moves

#

so you can't dash through him

#

or over him

hazy sentinel
#

random fireball rain

weary stream
#

that could be a bit too repetitive?

#

not sure what are the attacks yet

weary stream
#

are the particles bugged?

cunning lagoon
#

ah, purple rectangle, my favourite boss fight

weary stream
#

looks different from the unity version he showed last time

leaden hedge
#

not anymore

#

in that version yes

weary stream
#

oh i see

leaden hedge
#

the main particle was being sorted behind the bg

native wing
#

wheres elderbug

cunning lagoon
#

dead

copper nacelle
#

he's beneath the stag station fool

weary stream
#

lmao

leaden hedge
#

theres a few more attacks to code

cunning lagoon
#

i actually laughed at that

leaden hedge
#

a dive like soul tyrant, and a bullet hell

weary stream
#

that sounds cool

leaden hedge
#

and grimm child spamming shit at you

cunning lagoon
#

wdym sad it was a good joke

weary stream
#

i like bullet hell attacks

native wing
#

blocked but styll responding GWchadMEGATHINK

copper nacelle
hollow pier
#

i actually laughed at 56 doing p5

copper nacelle
#

it's his new home

weary stream
#

imagine shade cloak in touhou

cunning lagoon
#

oh so did i

#

especially when he died to xero

#

twice

hollow pier
#

xero is actually hard tbh

cunning lagoon
#

no

#

just shade cloak through the nails

weary stream
#

xero? hard?

hazy sentinel
#

𝍃

weary stream
#

but

hollow pier
#

but you need to be smart about using shade cloak????

weary stream
#

you can pass xero even without dashing, just moving and jumping

native wing
#

what if theres no floor

hazy sentinel
#

damn maybe if they designed it with shade cloak in mind

#

it would be balanced

weary stream
#

hug wall, crystal heart to other wall

cunning lagoon
#

excuse me

#

WHAT

weary stream
#

dont repeat my words just because you find them funny

#

:<

leaden hedge
#

it'd probably fuckup streaming if you had shade cloak in touhou

hazy sentinel
#

my words
my words
my words
my words

native wing
#

hahahs

#

haha

weary stream
#

shade cloak wouldnt work on a touhou game, just that xD

native wing
#

hk is the dark souls of touhou

unborn badger
#

furi

native wing
#

no

copper nacelle
#

#

#

copper nacelle
#

furi

unborn badger
#

bullet hell game with ability that lets you dash through attacks

#

works quite well

weary stream
#

well

#

i mean

copper nacelle
#

is 3000 hp too much

weary stream
#

the touhou games that are designed around not having it i mean

copper nacelle
#

kurosh how much hp

cunning lagoon
#

it depends on how hittable he is

copper nacelle
#

lost lord but without the attack you said was easy

cunning lagoon
#

3k is fine for something as hittable as normal pv

#

bc he'll die quickly anyway

weary stream
#

lost lord?

cunning lagoon
#

but if this boss barely leaves you openings to attack then you'd have to reduce it

unborn badger
#

give lost lord a final attack that's just him spawning infection globs for like 2 minutes straight hollowomg

copper nacelle
#

lost kin buff

cunning lagoon
#

so what im trying to say is don't think about the hp yet

copper nacelle
#

but like what do i set to for now

unborn badger
#

2000

cunning lagoon
#

3k is fine for testing

native wing
#

hpπŸ€”

weary stream
#

oh, that reminds me that i'm still designing the attacks for the radiant mantis lords

unborn badger
#

if it's a boss you don't hit often like NKG then like 1600 might work well tbh

weary stream
#

and there is one quite unfair

cunning lagoon
#

i imagine that the fight (ideally) wouldn't be longer than 2 minutes right?

#

lost lord and mantis gods are both around a minute

unborn badger
#

make absrad buff called "Blinding Radiance"

weary stream
#

idk how long it will be yet

#

i can balance hp later

cunning lagoon
#

i meant pp

weary stream
#

pp?

unborn badger
#

pp hard

cunning lagoon
#

pure prince

#

pale prince*

cunning lagoon
#

damn that guy is pretty good

#

how does he dodge everything

copper nacelle
#

😩

hazy sentinel
#

lost lord radiant no damage

unborn badger
#

honestly it would be cool if he occasionally spawned infection that rose up from the ground while he was attacking you tbh

hollow pier
#

that's pretty good but you never cdash in this video

cunning lagoon
#

lost lord no πŸ…±πŸ…±ark 😩

weary stream
#

@copper nacelle thats a custom boss right

hazy sentinel
#

actually tc were working on balancing shade cloak

copper nacelle
#

i mean it's modded a ton but like not entirely re-made like kdt's doing

weary stream
#

ah yeah

unborn badger
#

what is KDT doing to what

copper nacelle
#

kdt is remaking nkg for ngg2

cunning lagoon
#

kdt has been working on ngg2

unborn badger
#

oh nice

#

is he actually fair zote

weary stream
#

well technically i'm remaking mantis lords aswell, but directly on my game instead of hollow knight

cunning lagoon
#

he seems to be good as fuck

weary stream
#

the purpose is not to add it to hollow knight so..

leaden hedge
cunning lagoon
#

i do not understand that drawing

copper nacelle
#

same

hazy sentinel
#

is this football

weary stream
#

it was intented to be to test the combat demo

unborn badger
#

i want to remake Radiance

leaden hedge
#

blue is like orbs moving to the right constantly

weary stream
#

looks decent

leaden hedge
#

and oyu have a another row moving to the left constatnly

#

and oyu have orbs falling from above

#

and 1/3rd of screen is a garbage laser

unborn badger
#

yes

hollow pier
#

OyU what's this

unborn badger
#

give ngg2 an attack that just fucking blocks off half the arena

leaden hedge
#

although

hazy sentinel
#

ouya

leaden hedge
#

making both edges garbage lasers

#

that slowly shrinks the playable area would be cooler

weary stream
#

and

unborn badger
#

honestly i was thinking MGRR's final boss fight

weary stream
#

the question is

unborn badger
#

where he just traps you in a tiny corner of the arena

weary stream
#

what do you get after you finish ngg2?

#

if you beat him?

unborn badger
#

large peen

weary stream
#

shade crystal heart through walls?

copper nacelle
#

nothing

leaden hedge
#

a sense of pride and accomplishment

cunning lagoon
copper nacelle
leaden hedge
#

normally you have to pay big money for that

weary stream
#

:<

unborn badger
#

numpad gay

copper nacelle
#

none of the modded bosses give you anything

#

except lost lord i guess

#

that's like

cunning lagoon
#

they are just there for fun

copper nacelle
#

100 essence or something

cunning lagoon
#

and for the challenge

copper nacelle
#

^

weary stream
#

essence lmao

cunning lagoon
#

which is why we want to make them hard

hazy sentinel
#

lmao just kill maskflies

copper nacelle
weary stream
#

make hornet appear and say some tsundere thing

hazy sentinel
#

"i am void uwu"

unborn badger
#

@copper nacelle how 2 modify bosses

copper nacelle
#

you want to get the go

#

get the fsms

#

modify them

#

the end

weary stream
#

"You did well ghost but I could've done better, try next time without that dark dash of yours"

leaden hedge
#

just make your own

copper nacelle
#

or be kdt yeah

leaden hedge
#

fsms gay

copper nacelle
#

yes

weary stream
#

i find easier to remake bosses than to make modifications of them tbh

#

it looks like only a few things are required to make them enemies i think

unborn badger
#

how to modify the FSMs

copper nacelle
#

the trick here is i can't unity

weary stream
#

why not?

leaden hedge
#

you need a healthmanager

copper nacelle
#

cause idk how to do anything

leaden hedge
#

and a damages_hero

weary stream
#

unity is quite intuitive, you can learn a lot from tutorials and stuff

#

or ask for help

#

you can get the hang of it in under a month

copper nacelle
#

:effort:

#

i can just modify fsms

cunning lagoon
#

alternatively you can grind ig for a month and maybe beat my score

weary stream
#

i'm not interested in grinding ig

#

:<

#

my best is 2k

#

pretty sad

cunning lagoon
#

2k is pretty good

weary stream
#

i think i need 30k to enter hard mode right?

#

i'm quite far from it

copper nacelle
#

no it's just a setting

cunning lagoon
#

no you just turn it on in the options

leaden hedge
#

ye but ngg is only like 200 lines of code

#

and half of it is just me fixing my animations

copper nacelle
#

how much is ngg2

leaden hedge
#

i meant ngg2

copper nacelle
#

oh ok

leaden hedge
#

ngg1 is like way more

weary stream
#

i'm pretty sure mantis lords arent too much

leaden hedge
#

300 atleast

weary stream
#

this is mostly

copper nacelle
#

that looks like a pain to reimplement

#

and i've seen that before

weary stream
#

its actually pretty easy

copper nacelle
#

it's how i modded them

weary stream
#

why would it be hard?

leaden hedge
weary stream
#

the hardest part is the animations

#

let me see if i can get the gif going

#

are weightered values probably of attacks?

leaden hedge
#

yes

#
    public class Weighterizer
    {
        public class WeightedValue
        {
            public Attacks attack;

            public WeightedValue(Attacks a, string aName, float c){
                attack = a;
                animName = aName;
                chance = c;
            }
        }

        public static WeightedValue GetRandomValue(List<WeightedValue> list){
            float sum = 0;
            foreach (WeightedValue wv in list)
                sum += wv.chance;
            System.Random r = new System.Random ();
            float rand = (float)r.NextDouble () * sum;
            foreach (WeightedValue wv in list) {
                rand -= wv.chance;
                if (rand <= 0)
                    return wv;
            }
            return list [0];
        }

    }
#

    public void AnimEnd(){
        anim.gameObject.SetActive (false);
        Weighterizer.WeightedValue wv = Weighterizer.GetRandomValue (attackDict [lastAttack] );
        float d = delays [lastAttack];
        lastAttack = wv.attack;
        StartCoroutine(delayedAnimPlayback(wv.animName, d));
    }

#

are weightered values probably of attacks?

thats what i asked

#

cunning lagoon
#

i was like damn is this the elusive verulean typo?

weary stream
#

looks fine, but you should make a state machine for the attacks

#

or the ais

unborn badger
#

@copper nacelle how code

unborn badger
#

how code if you know literally nothing about coding

leaden hedge
#

I have a state machine, nkg just isn't complicated enough for me to be bothered to use it

cunning lagoon
#

yeah but is it finite

leaden hedge
#

fennel used it

#

no its an infinite state machine πŸ€”

cunning lagoon
#

Ok

leaden hedge
#

it can be literally anything

hazy sentinel
#

infinite egg machine

hollow pier
#

actually make this a mod

#

i want to hit egg machines forever

#

gives me a reward for qga practice

unborn badger
#

e g g m a c h i n e

leaden hedge
#

but yeah considering this is the extent of the logic running per frame

    void Update () {
        if (!inDelay) {
            if (lastAttack == Attacks.Dive && time == 0)
                LookTowards (720);
            if (lastAttack != Attacks.Dive)
                transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
        
            time += Time.deltaTime;
            if (lastAttack == Attacks.Uppercut) {
                speed = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
                if (time >= 43.0f / 60.0f && time <= 63.0f / 60.0f)
                    speed = new Vector3 (18, 0, 0);
                if (time >= 65.0f / 60.0f)
                    speed = new Vector3 (3, 20, 0);
            }
            if (lastAttack == Attacks.Pillars) {
                speed = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
            }
            if (lastAttack == Attacks.Fireballs) {
                speed = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
            }
            if (lastAttack == Attacks.Dash && time >= 20f / 60.0f)
                speed = new Vector3 (55, 0, 0);

            speed = new Vector3 (speed.x * (facing ? 1 : -1), speed.y, 0);

            if (lastAttack == Attacks.Dive && time >= 24f / 60f) {
                speed = transform.up * -25;
                if (transform.position.y < floorPos && !inDelay) {
                    StartCoroutine(delayedAnimPlayback ("dive-land", 0));
                    lastAttack = Attacks.Dash;
                }
            }

            transform.position += speed * Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }
#

a state machine is probably overkill

weary stream
#

sharex giving 123012390 errors now for some reason

#

void update?

#

lol

#

you really need to use coroutines and state machines

hazy sentinel

nah we don't have a release date for hornet update yet

weary stream
#

you dont need such a big code for a simple state machine

#

you can set up the current coroutine in a variable and set a new one with an enum

hazy sentinel
#

you know what they say about people with big code

hollow pier
#

it's how you use it

weary stream
#

what do you mean?

leaden hedge
#

oh yeah setting up coroutines to neaten up my 20 line update function

#

i'm sure whoever has to maintain this shit after me will love me for it

weary stream
#

XD

#

it might not be good for 20 lines of code but it will grow up

leaden hedge
#

then ill use my state machine code πŸ€”

weary stream
#

you can always use fsms (?)

#

i'm joking, dont kill me

leaden hedge
#

but theres really no reason for me to bother with this for something that doesn't really need that much logic

weary stream
#

i dont want to blame you but that looks like spagethi code

#

and not actually a real state machine

leaden hedge
#

nah real state machines are sphagetti

weary stream
#

xDD

leaden hedge
#

having transition objects and shit

#

nah dawg

weary stream
#

playmaker is quite good for state machines tho

#

sharex is on holidays it seems

#

i cant upload gifs

#

gonna make a video

copper nacelle
#

ScreenToGif

leaden hedge
#

playmaker is good, but this is sphagetti πŸ€”

#

considering this works the same way playmaker does

#

but with like way less objects

#

and thus way better

weary stream
#

its puush what doesnt upload

#

not the app itself

#

xD

#

you still have a lot of work

#

like me, i'm not even really focusing in the fight, i still have to finish my new attack animations

#

this is what i have so far of radiant mantis lords, i need to change this pattern yet

#

the diagonal attack didnt look good enough (it doesnt attack correctly yet, its supposed to attack the hero not the center of the area)

hazy sentinel
#

sure looks legal

weary stream
#

any ideas to improve that attack pattern with only 1 mantis btw?

#

i want to set up a second mantis for the phase 2

copper nacelle
#

isn't ripping assets 200% illegal

weary stream
#

what is the problem of using them as a place holder?

copper nacelle
#

oh place holders

weary stream
#

people keep saying that

hazy sentinel
#

just use boxes lol

weary stream
#

i will need to put something on screen like "PLACEHOLDER ART"

#

boxes dont work to work with aesthetics

#

i'm working with aesthetics on my combat

copper nacelle
#

help i have over 5gb of hk save backups

#

and i don't even want them

weary stream
#

boxes are awful

copper nacelle
#

it just makes 2k

#

by itself

hazy sentinel
#

that's ur problem

weary stream
#

people keep asking about that yet

#

i guess you guys dont know about aesthetics at all

copper nacelle
#

please send help

hazy sentinel
#

is it just on specific save files

copper nacelle
#

nope

#

all 4

leaden hedge
hollow pier
#

wow is that your motherboard

weary stream
#

gonna be doing other stuff

compact sedge
#

what the fuck 56

copper nacelle
#

it's not like i want them

#

the game makes them by itself

compact sedge
#

how many gb is that

copper nacelle
#

it was like 4

#

i just deleted 2.3

hazy sentinel
#

is it actively creating more backups or is it just rotating out like a list of a couple hundred per save

copper nacelle
#

actively creating more

hazy sentinel
#

wtf

copper nacelle
#

i had like 4.6k

#

rn user1 has 2.2k

hollow pier
#

delete everything

cunning lagoon
#

make an ahk script that deletes every save when you start your computer

hazy sentinel
#

see what happens if you delete all backups then save once in game

copper nacelle
compact sedge
#

doesn't the game only keep 4 backups

copper nacelle
#

that's what it should be doing

#

kurosh this doesn't happen to you right

compact sedge
#

oh does your save thing in QoL break that?

copper nacelle
#

it really shouldn't

#

i don't change anything

hazy sentinel
#

it really shouldn't take more than 5 mins

copper nacelle
#

don't you use qol

cunning lagoon
#

no i have a bunch of saves but nowhere near 5k

copper nacelle
#

like 1k or anything

#

or just like 8 backups

#

like _1.3.1.5 and _1.2.2.1 and stuff

#

i save to json

#

don't touch .dat

cunning lagoon
#

nah just like 10 or something

hazy sentinel
#

yo try saving in game and see what happens

copper nacelle
#

ok

#

1/save

cunning lagoon
#

also yes i use qol

copper nacelle
#

every time i bench it makes one

hollow pier
#

never bench lmao
