Boss Fights Are Fun 

Did you notice the music? These are two tracks from the game soundtrack, just without the dynamic aspect that you might find in game, so formatted more like a typical song.

Game where you don't "kill" anything, just dig and build, and where enemies don't really attack you, just mess with your building is an interesting idea. Unsure if I've ever seen anything like this before.

That concept where you need to be pretty much constantly moving to avoid being killed is neat. If I may ask, what made you think of this idea?

I have a kinda random suggestion, its probably not that important at this stage of development though. I think that when you place the blocks that slow down the titan, the titan should visually and audibly react to it as it bumps into it. Like its "arms" (or whatever theyre supposed to be called lol) at whatever Y level the blocks are get pushed backwards a bit, and their rings turn red, while making a short depowering/error sound or something. I just think it would add to the game feel, and make it more satisfying while making the player feel more powerful against something so threatening, if you get what I mean. Basically tldr I think the titan should have reactions to the player interacting with it in any way. You probably already planned to add something like this during polish later, but just wanted to share my thoughts. The game already looks really promising to me anyway :D

Love the work! Great design choices shown in this video. Great ideas introducing the slowing down modes first. For the drone, maybe you can have water or wind be a factor (either helping you by pushing it back, or it manipulates the weather to slow you down). Perhaps these weather systems will allow planning before the mission giving you the choice for specific element resistance, but being more prone to other effects.

I'm curious if some sort of "Endless" mode will be a thing. The longer it goes the harder it gets. I like the drone concept though! This really reminds me of the Wall of Flesh from Terraria. I remember making a Minecart track on there and seeing if I can fight it before the track ran out.

Great game! since you asked for ideas for the minion: what if the minion disappears mid game making you think you're free from it, and than shows up ahead of you and it built a pretty massive structure to try to stop you

What about this : at the start of the level , there is no void titan , you just explore , get resources and prepare , then after a certain timer ends a void titan spawns , but its not going to chase you , you're going to chase it and try to kill it before it reaches the start of the level.

make a level where your camera's x position is locked onto the void titan, blocking you from going further and maybe add a hybrid mode where you can choose which level's modifiers to add into a single level

Looking at 1:14, I have a suggestion for you; how about you add a cracking animation on blocks that require more time to break (just like Minecraft)? It'll be better than lazer beaming a stubborn rock while looking like 🗿

what if the drone spat out something that you had to stomp on or hitj? like a mini drone or a bee, or a frog. Okay - these ideas are not cool enough, but you get the idea.

What about a sandwich mode where you start in the middle and have two walls coming from each side?lol

Void Titan looks like the earlier Gatherer survival rogue

Lol nobody mentioned this in the comments But your game looks like a spin off fight of the Wall of Flesh boss fight from terraria, have you been influenced by it ? If no, id recommend you to check it out, maybe youll learn something thatll improve the game you are working on

Hi, just found your channel and love the content as an aspiring game dev myself. The minion is a great concept that accomplishes exactly what you set out to do. One thought I had about it though is that I feel things like hard wall generation or boxing in the player may become annoying to the player over longer play times. They are hard stops on momentum that require the same reaction every time and a small time investment. Alternatively, other ideas you presented like blasting the ground away from in front of the player are great shifts in momentum. While they are often approached by the player in a similar way with slight variations each time, those variations will make each occurrence feel a bit more unique to the player. I saw another comment about weather factors and I think those would be wonderful. The minion should, I think, focus more on shifting momentum by altering the field of play in ways that require a 'solution' rather than physically stopping the player model in a simple trap. I hope this comment helps and I'm looking forward to seeing this game. Heading over to steam to wishlist it right now!

Well yeah, but how do you fail at 'em?

How to fail at indie game development... well, master, you taught us so well, but it seems you are still the best at failing and making horrible games no matter how hard we try

how does this video only have ~300 views

wowwie

Cool Idea! I would just be worried that the drone is so annoying, that it ruins all the fun of exploring for resources.

This game is looking better and better, i can already feel the pressure/difficulty of this harder mode.

Interesting ideas. The drone looks tricky to ignore.

Now presenting the video game version of raw anxiety

HELL YEAHH

This will be a game people will talk about a lot if you ask me.
