I do not dislike all platformers lmao xD The Reason I Dislike Platformer Games... DkGalaxy: / @dkgalaxytv Spellbound TCG: / @dxtrgames Discord: / discord My Website: dekusuniverse....
Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world are simultaneously shaking their heads and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me. Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as "Grammar Goblin's") from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet. That being said, I am aware that not all cave dwellers who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances, people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear. Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make: I agree
How To Make A GOOD Platformer 1. It’s fine if you need to borrow small amounts of code for the physics, it won’t hurt as long as the rest is original 2. Make a unique mechanic that makes it fun 3. If your gonna add text to the levels, make them vague hints or a story if you want one 4. Make the player and graphics unique, as well as the level design. Here is what I’m working on, just for an example: Stuck in a Generic Platformer. You are Scratch Cat, and you are trying to escape a buggy, unoriginal platformer to get back home before someone destroys it. The mechanics? Main one is how buggy it is. The levels are built around using the bugs to your advantage.
And even then.. It still feels cookie cutter with the double/wall jump, dash, and or glide. It feels like you're playing the same game with a different story and asset pack. Doesn't have to be a platformer either. To me most shooters, moba, and etc just feels very samey. Some may introduce some additions which is cool, like crafting or rogue imo. I guess what I am saying is that it feels like I've played most games without playing them. Where most games are repeats or asset flip like.
@@Ironpants57I think I can understand what you mean. For example, rpgs, many of them may be different, yet still play very much the same mechanically. Many games feel very similar, except for graphics and a few new mechanics.
I feel like a lot of games can feel very different from each other, yet a lot of times I can still feel like they feel like the same thing except with different assets, stories, ect.
I absolutely agree with all your statements! I would slave over a project for months and it would only get 13 views and up to this day that number wouldn't change, whatever is picking the games to be on the explore page is doing horribly! it is going off popularity than quality!
as a scratcher who joined in 2013, I'm pretty sure that the first platformer to popularize the "square that jumps around and avoids lava" genre (there had been some similar ones, but it wasn't it's own supermassive popular genre yet) was Jonzo with his platformer "squareboy", which was actually QUITE good because of it's mechanical depth and quality.
If you ever wanna play a good platformer, I'd highly recommend checking out celeste. I won't go into detail (because spoilers) but it's definitely worth at least looking at some gameplay or looking at a couple reviews.
I hate the eye thing at least change the eye thing if you wanna copy it at least change something like the levels or the eye thing I HATE GENERIC PLATFORMERS
So i checked The video That had the comment saying "U say that platformers suck all the time" Dont know Him! But yes All meanings I understand That Lazy coders just search up "Platformer engines" and remix it Change the colors of the characters Then say they post it and say they made it! Its menace scratch Team should Stop Copied platformers
