#Glyde needs to be able to pick up gems too!

There is no issue with the gem collecting in this game, Wing collect them all fine and in a quick fashion but I've noticed at certain points when gems drop in large piles, it feels a little awkward having to wait for him to pick them all up despite walking over them

It would just help create a sense of dopamine collecting multiple gems, much like how the Spyro games had :)

believe it or not you're actually suggesting something that I had suggested for the patreon builds of the game...

#

Collecting gems is one of my favourite aspects in the spyro games! And you collect a lot of gems here, so I think it's important to make them as satisfying as possible to collect :>

#

In fact that goes for every game

I'm kind of surprised, he doesn't tbh. I had the impression that in the spyro games (at least the original ones) Sparks is literally just moving the gems to spyro for pickup

the difference is, that the gems in spyro are more collectibles and not a currency so thats why it feeld more rewarding to collect them yourself. They changed it in A heros Tail for example when it become a currency. So I think thats why it doesnt really matter how you collect it. Kinda also like with the bolts in Ratchet that get drawn to you instead of collection them directly, because its not a collectible.

actually second and probably 3rd OG spyro games they were currency

#

It doesn't really matter if they're a designed collectable or not, I'm just saying that it could be a little more satisfying

and it also adds to % like any other collectible in games

icy crescent
#

I do want to state this isn't even a big deal, cause its fine the way it is but its tiny stuff like this is why collecting stuff is fun :)

You often break boxes and barrels in this game, and it's a little awkward having all the gems phase through Glyde as you stand around for a sec waiting for Wing to pick them up

#

It would remind me like collecting the materials in Xenoblade

#

you dont even need to stand around I believe you will get them even if you instantly leave

#

that was before the demo release, that you really needed to wait long till Wing collect all of them

#

especially from treasure chests

#

or big gems

#

but yeah I agree it shouldnt matter who collects them

icy crescent

#

it should also be a thing that you automatically get gems when enemies fall into lava for example

#

since you cant collect them unless with fire element

#

and jumping down again...

icy crescent
#

Treasure chests and large crystals are an exception cause they're meant to be given in one big chunk

icy crescent
#

I'm just saying, both parties should collect them

#

Cause collecting things in games is fun

marble bobcat
#

yeah that would be better and would make more sense

#

unless glyde hates to hold things ^^

#

since no real arms

icy crescent
marble bobcat
#

I know

icy crescent
#

I would be ashamed of myself if I ever suggested Wing to not collect them lol

#

Cause even in Spyro they emphasise how much you need sparks

I wish he would matter there more though. At least in TLoS they made a character out of him but in OG the was just kinda there. Probably the only partner that barely has any meaning compared to Clank, Daxter, Aku-Aku, Kazooie etc.

Clank had functional use with getting around the place.
Daxter was used on a few occasions in Jak 2 and 3 to get into small places
Aku-Aku... is just extra hits (only played 1 and 2) have not played Banjo Kazooie..

icy crescent
#

Ngl I almost prefer him in the original, but thats due to poor direction of the legend of spyro games

#

Cynder made for a more engaging partner in dawn of the dragon

#

I was actually thinking about this too, I've yet to beat the demo but you don't hear much of Wing

#

Glyde gets snarky comments during a fight, and I wish Wing did too, maybe warning him or congratulating him on successful battles

limpid nacelle
#

Wing does do stuff...

#

get surrounded, take a ton of damage in a stun loop and see what happens.

#

Wing has function

icy crescent
#

Oh that makes sense cause uhhhh I never really get surrounded lol

Since Crystals are considered a currency and also thus infinite in Glyde, that's even more reason for the Crystals themselves to either automatically float towards you to be collected (specifically the ones that drop from killing enemies, I've had to run back one too many times to pick up gems they dropped and I didn't notice they dropped), or for Wing to have a much larger range of collecting.

Yeah, I do struggle on KB+M to pick up prey treats and dragonfruits, or if you're in the water, that the pickups are difficult.

marble bobcat
#

Well the game isn't made for keyboard use in the first place

#

It's like complaining having trouble in some games using a dance mat 😅

It'd also feel more satisfying to run into a big crystal pile and get them all at once

lucid vortex
#

Yeah and too for speedrunner we need to not have boring gems pick up

limpid nacelle
#

hey in the patreon builds i made mention that it would be nice for Glyde to pick up crystals too since Wing was rather slow... so they opted to make Wing's crystal pickup faster... and yet... it's apparently still a bit slow and people want Glyde to ALSO be able to pick up crystals

copper cliff
#

Also that! Speedrun tech, influencing game design since always

#

oops got sniped
