Making Fast Gameplay

[worn scarab]

This should be better. Harder hits, harder and harder more intense gameplay

[boreal island]

im trying to compare this to your prior submission and i dont see much of what's changed outside of the robot part (i.e., the spider and wave should be more intense)

one thing i would suggest for the ball and spider is to have more moments with rapid click patterns

that will help with intensity

[worn scarab]

Bruuuu how is the wave not intense ._.

[boreal island]

Intensity is relative

You're already in 4x speed for this part

If you want to make it feel faster you need to do more than just 4x speed

The biggest issues are with the ball and spider btw

But I think you could do more with the wave (e.g., gravity changes would force the player to change how they approach it which is more engaging)

[worn scarab]

Welp time to turn on noclip (I can’t for the life of me control upside down wave at 4x speed)

[boreal island]

Sounds good

[worn scarab]

So I just make more clicks that sync?

[boreal island]

Rewatching again, you may also want to reconsider some gamemode choices (notably ball and robot) since they just cannot allow for fast, snappy movements at all

[boreal island]

To an extent although I would caution against just "adding more clicks" for the sake of it

Also if your next submission is still a needs work I would suggest working with a different song

otherwise you wont rly be learning anything

[worn scarab]

Ball I think is already fine since there is an obvious 3 beat pattern but what do I do with robot?

[boreal island]

I'm not referring to the click patterns, but to how snappy the gamemodes feel (recall using gamemodes guide / gp objects 1)

As for what you do with them, your choice

[boreal island]

esp compared to wave and spider which are incredibly snappy

[worn scarab]

Maybe I can find a way to still use robot but make the gameplay more snappy with more slams

[boreal island]

this is why I suggest working with a new song, you're already biased towards what you made in a very specific way

[worn scarab]

Also I realise the more intense I try to make the gameplay, the more black orbs I need, but they seem to work fine as quick movements

[boreal island]

Robot will always have an upper limit on how fast you can make the gameplay

Because you have to hold

So holding into an orb means holding into a very quick release which is awkward

[worn scarab]

So cube?

[boreal island]

Your choice, again

But I just wouldn't recommend robot

[worn scarab]

Oki I’ll try my best :)

[boreal island]

You got this

Just make sure you're intentional with these choices ofc

also oops i kept saying "work with a new song" but forgot I didnt actually update the exercise so you can do that lOL

ill do that soon

[worn scarab]

Also in the meanwhile can you mark my “fixing gameplay bugs” exercise? It’s been up for some time

Because I think I got it

[boreal island]

Cant open the game rn but ill ask someone to do it asap
