How Snake Pass Became a Platformer Without Jumping 

thankyou :)

Hypernukeleosis Kirby Wow, that is amazing! That makes me really want to buy the game and give it a try just. For that

Cool! I only have BotW and Mario Odyssey on my Switch! Lol I'm gonna buy this for sure.

@@sideways_fun woah were u one of the 3D artists?

I love developers that listen to their community, it's kinda heartwarming in a weird way

It's been a bit since I last played, but iirc it's up on the d-pad. 3 presses for 3 different levels of "happy". Left and right produce similar results for "sad" and, um... "tired"? "angry"? I can't quite remember. Actually, it's probably been long enough that I suck at being a snake again; I bet I could get some enjoyment out of another playthrough.

You forgot the most important part of the English language: there's a difference between your and you're.

rainbow_lizard The LittleBigPlanet influences don’t end!

@@chriso3968 You forgot the most important part of being human! Not being a pedantic asshole! We all knew exactly what he meant.

@@DanteYewToob So? He should still be able to write English correctly to the current spelling rules.

No Subnautica we need to go deeper And super mario odyssey

@@ralexcraft990 2 of those are all water

@@johnwaynesolima7948 Its a joke

@@ralexcraft990 sh## i am stupid

Maybe it's because I'm an Aquarius, or perhaps it's just because I'm contrarian but I've always enjoyed water levels - particular in the old Mario games :)

Super lucky's tale is hilarious by how bad it is : i litteraly played it for 30 minutes in a store before finding a bug that made me walk in the air

KNACK II BABY!!!

idk why but it makes me very sad and disappointed to see this as by far the most thumbs-upped comment

BaldlyShine Not an insult, really - more like an expression of indifference or disappointment. Then again, being mediocre or failing the expectations can sometimes be worse than being plain awful, so...

Never thought that it would be weird that it would. Guess that's what i get from growing up in the UK.

@@RAFMnBgaming exactly, is it just a common uk thing? I live in the uk too and I never thought it was weird. Btw, I know its been ages since you posted this, so hi from 3 years into the future I guess.

@@glendarjj3991 Hi future man, Do we have Half Life 3 yet?

I have now saved that part in t h e f o l d e r

Yes that is indeed a joke

Yes that is indeed a joke

No that is indeed not a joke Its real life. After a hard day of work I enjoy punching a gorilla a couple of times. Don't you?

no, it's a dad

"I have some bad news" you got me for a second over there

Sometimes sibilance is more important than accuracy.

Teague Hipkiss I don't think that word means what you think it means.jpeg That was alliteration.

I know what words mean just fine thanks! Sibilance is a specific kind of alliteration referring to a repetition of 's' and 'sh' sounds, I'm sure you'll learn about it by the time you finish high school =D

Oh! The geek critique! I'm kinda sad that there's no other Donkey Kong Country game you can review, I loved your DKC critiques...

Are you excited for the Tropical freeze nintendo switch port that will be coming in 2018?

Folks, if you love innovative gameplay inspired from the real world, have a look for Drunk On Nectar! (in the making)

+Ziluth if you were talking to him, well yes he is interested in it, he said it on his own video, if you were talking to me, no, I already have the game on the Wii U, I think it's the best platformer of all time but I don't see any reason to re-purchase it, plus I don't have a Switch, it's too expensive...

Hey Geek Critique your videos are brilliant. You convinced me to finally give metroid games a proper go and not giving up after an hour

Mark Brown that's really cool of you plugging others rather than yourself

Very much appreciated, I hadn't found those channels before!

Mark, I love you

Why not pin this comment, Mark?

Loved your recommendations, looking forward to your next ones

Yeah, I just saw it on Steam, not long before seeing this video. It kind of reminds me of the brawling game Gang Beasts. Another game I have yet to play, but looks like fun. Best with many players. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vz0BriND6pE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0YP1rc73oY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yt_keHKD9Ys.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7QvSZUOotGA.html

What I never understood about that game is the soundtrack. It's all moody and existential. I know that the game touches those themes, but imo it should be more... "fun".

That's hardly anything new. So many developers got their start in the gaming industry back in the 90's by doing something similar - creating mods and extra levels for (especially) first-person shooters.

LBP2/Vita is a phenomenal introduction to game development. You can learn some lessons about level design from stuff like Mario Maker, but for anything more you need more malleable tools. A lot of the stuff in LBP2 mirrors stuff in Unreal and you solve problems in the same way that a dev would so it's a great place to get familiar with everything.

3 is even better for more space and tools

Eichro Anyone who played LBP.

You used to be able to mod all the games. Now moddability has to be the whole point of the game, designed into the UI or they don't let you do it.

arlo my man! I mean...blue..monster.. hows origami king coming alone?

Hey

Man, all that bad streamer jokes they missed out on!

Sequel subtitle opportunity.

@@ilikeceral3 *The game devs of Ratchet and Clank wants to know your location*

I wondered for a while if the Sheffield based developers had taken inspiration from a well known road of the same name that crosses the Pennines to Manchester. But I asked them and they said it was just a coincidence.

I read on their twitter that an update is coming sometime in January. Apparently adding more levels (and I hope more skins, but that''s just me) EDIT: They also said they would rollback to the original Switch home menu icon when the update hits.

90% of indie games: *yes*

Breath of the Wild is challenging?

Mark Brown also helped to look into why I love Sonic Adventure. I was shocked to find how in depth the game really is.

uorulezz thumbs up for the tool reference

Try Divinity: Original Sin

Lots of games these days have options and difficulty settings which make this possible, but it would be nice to see a game designed from the ground up around it.

I wouldn't say that that is revolutionary. Dark Souls already does this and it is very popular.

Pretty much any RPG worth it's salt already has these things and allows you to hide the minimap. BotW

I work in Sumo :P ... good to see people like Snake Pass

Good luck!

Sumo Digital also made Sonic All-Stars and All Stars Racing Transformed. Those games are awesome. (edit) Wait, nevermind, it's already mentioned in the video. :))

Not far from me either, a hidden gem in my city that not a lot of gamer friends actually know! I'd also love to work with those guys!

Ah, All Stars Racing Transformed aka the best kart racer out there. The great drifting mechanic and focus on skill puts Mario Kart to shame.

I'm not sure if my reaction should be "ha, 'exist' is the best compliment he has for them" or "oh, the fact that these are being made speaks volumes". Maybe both?

no 'em up

Sooner or later you'll regret this running gag when you're forced to utter the words "Roguevania 'em up"

Knack 'em up

KNACK TWO BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE

DA KING IS BACK BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Don't stap on snak.

I love that you said "rewarding control scheme" because 95% of negative reviews on Steam say the control scheme is broken. I just find that part of the challenge and game design.

He just streamed himself playing Getting Over It yesterday.

Jeremy Jordan You're a barkeep who gives advice to adventurers and they come back with stories of their exploits. All enemies can hear everything you do but there's a lag to the sound you make, meaning you have to constatly be in motion before they close in. You have to coach a team and make workable strategies for them while the ai controls them on the field. You have one clip of bullets. Use them wisely. How's that?

I was thinking for the stealth game you would have to perform actions to muffle your noise, like turning on a radio, or activating a buzz saw, but thatè a cool idea, and so are the other ones!

Third one is called football manager

Spiderman game where something happened to his feet but he still can swing around perfectly. Penatrating an army base when you constatly have to synch your steps with guards and making some action to force them to walk if they are not moving. MyPlayer mode in most sport games when you controll just one player. Coach/Manager simulators.

As other idea NBA coap mode where one players controlls all movement while the other take care of shooting and passing. Or even AI does the second part you you have to put your player in position to pass or score hoping for the best Shooter with limited suplies or where the gun is some type of overheating lazer where you can't shoot for too long so you "barrow" your enemies weapons.

Very good point

Lambtaco Games I'm not so sure. Enemies are a critical part of Mario's design space. They, along with coins, power-ups, and collectables, are in large part what make the platforming challenges interesting. It's by layering these elements on top of each other that Mario games achieve degrees of dynamics, interplay, and depth that are unparalleled in platforming games. Simply jumping over pits can only be so engaging. There needs to be elements that complicate and provide counterpoint to moving through space.

Eventually you will just boot up the game and watch Mario roll around on his belly.

I would argue that enemies are really only a core part of linear Mario games. e.g. All the 2D games, and to a lesser extent, the galaxy games. Sunshine was a little more enemy focused for an exploratory game, but it gave Mario a gun of sorts to deal with enemies. Jumping on enemies in 3D is still much harder than in 2D, just like it was twenty years ago. It's also less useful. How often do enemies factor into platforming in 3D exploration based Mario compared to 2D and linear Marios? In a linear game enemies act as obstacles that block your progress, but in a more open game they can much more easily be avoided all together. This is why the goombas need to chase you in 3D games.In 2D Mario jumping on enemies to gain height is a common action useful in pretty much every level, but in 3D it rarely come up as there are usually more reliable ways of platforming. The open nature of these games also reduces incentive to move as efficiently as possible. 3D opens up an extra dimension of exploration, but also lets the player avoid enemy encounters. Take for example 2D Metroid and Zelda games. Exploration based games with formidable enemies. Which are a much bigger factor in those because enemies are near impossible to ignore in 2D. In 3D Mario inanimate obstacles tend to be more effective because they typically can't be killed and often take up an entire axis or two, which makes them act more like a 2D counterpart by putting real restrictions on player movement. Take the enemies out of 2D Mario and you ruin the game, take the enemies out of 3D exploration Mario and you get New Donk City. It has no enemies once you reach the sandbox stage of it's development. Yet it remains many peoples' favourite because of all the hidden secrets and the parkour potential. The other kingdoms have enemies, but after you complete the story stage they become minor annoyances and targets for possession rather than real threats. I'm not saying it should happen, just that I think they can pull it off. A big part of this is about player expectation more than what is actually necessary to make a good game. Sorry this got so long.

Samuel Stephens Mario as a franchise though has never been afraid to make major changes to the way it is designed. I don't think it's out of the picture that there might be a Mario game soley focused on platforming.

Puss is a swear word?

YES! If you replace the 'u' with an 'i,' that is! lol

You are mixing up the the objective topic that is quality, and the subjective quality that is fun. Your statement doesn't have any meaning. No game is fun for everyone.

Quality is subjective too buddy

Quality - the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind No. You are again thinking of something else. If something is made of a stronger material, it is of better quality. There is no debate. If a game has higher fidelity graphical effects, the graphics are higher quality. Quality is quantitative measurement. You may think higher quality x is more important than higher quality y, but that isnt quality. That is an opinion about what kind of quality is more important.

Okay fine, the game is shit. Subjective enough?

@@AlexLong1000 nah, that's still a concrete statement. "I think the game is shit" is subjective enough :P
