I'm adding bizarre new weapons like a frog gun to my Metroidvania, Dewdrop Dynasty. But I don't just stop there. I also explore different ways to spice up the game by finding a strong game hook inspired by Hollow Knight, The Legend of Zelda, Cave Story, and even Pokemon.

The idea of different weapons with different patterns is great. Definitely keep it. You could give the pets little abilities too, like projectiles.

The idea of the partners is absolutely amazing. There could be one per area, and the only way of getting access to a new area would be by using one of the previous partners. The dungeons would be an absolutely amazing way to teach the player how to use each one

@jacobpavone3477 11 месяцев назад

i love this! about the recoil jumping: not sure if it's like this already or not, but one of the things i did to make it way easier (especially bc it was also mobile, and recoil jumping was a central mechanic) was making the jump key work as a shortcut for down and fire while in the air, and not ascending. makes the recoil jumping way more accessible, which is always good. i haven't seen many other games do this, but i'd love to see it catch on. but really tho i am loving the progress you've been showing, this game looks so sick and punchy and good

@Skeffles Год назад

Amazing progress! The new jump looks like it'll feel way better. Keep it up!

@veryupstandinguy Год назад

yay welcome back to Devlogs Goodgis. Dewdrop is looking amazing so far. Loving the evolution of it so far. Especially having the friends as bullets mechanic. kindof gives me pikmin vibes which I am loving. I can't wait to play this.

@thelegendarymushroom80 10 месяцев назад

hey there, the game looks really cool and i have been following you for a long time already. i have a suggestion on the camera thing. maybe add if the player is falling down that the camera slightly moves down more or if the player moves left or right, that the camera slightly follows more towards the direction they are walking and goes back to centering the character after staying still. like this [ o ] *stands* [ o ] *walks right* [ o ] *goes back to standing still* that the camera slowly moves to the right and waits at the furtest position, until slowly moving back or into other directions. you can also add, that this only starts after the playerr walks into that direction for a couple of seconds. this way it will not be too much screen moving.

Ammolings sound amazing, it would be really cool if your gun would change depending on the ammoling in use. Also be cool if you get the ability to quickly swap between them. Congrats on the funding. Keep up the work

@mistermamamia Год назад

If there's going to be dialogue in the game, then I hope the ammolings get to speak! I absolutely love the idea of the ammolings, but to elevate them I think it would be cool if they not only had gameplay features, but their own personalities! At least that's what makes partners in stuff like paper mario a lot more fun than they'd be otherwise, I think.

@Goodgis Год назад

I completely agree!

@anythinggoes6791 Год назад

like the slugs from slug terra!

@supermeathands3433 11 месяцев назад

You could make the ammolings a part of puzzle solutions, like the fire one melting some ice opening up a new exploration route or changing something in one area that alters the level layout of another area, like freezing a lake stops water from flowing that will then allow to use some objects or items that can not be used while underwater. I would make all changes reversible so the player isn't soft locked because they forgot to do something before a level change so they can no longer proceed forward. This of course is if it wont add to scope creep, as I can see this making the game take long to finish.

@ItsPBUH Год назад

On ammo-lings, what if they followed you and some couldn't jump, some could climb (or fly), some couldn't enter doors. Then you could control who could come with the player on challenges and make it so some of them would accompany the player on puzzles and others couldn't. You could have shrines that allow the player to swap them out and you could have a mechanic to summon them back in that would take time to recharge (which you could upgrade to reduce the charge time, or add charges) so if one fell down a pit, you could teleport them back in (ala pikmin). You could also have enemies that limit the summon, or freeze the ammo-lings in place (you'd have to summon them to break the spell), or have rooms where you couldn't recharge your summon ability, so you'd have to plan your way through (have a shrine at the start, so the player could properly plan). Always make the mechanic have more than one use (which you're already doing, which is great). If you like my suggestions let me know if you need more help! :D

@PyroWithTaco Год назад

While the flower petal health bar looks really cool. I think a revolver barrel would also be really cool, and every time you get hit one if the bullets falls out. When you heal theres a simple animation of bullets entering the gun.
