Re: VLDC9 - verdant lighthearted daytime charm 9

I'm not sure if the naming gimmick is just "song titles" or if it's something more specific than that. I don't really listen to non-video game music. as always, 'song titles' is technically accurate but much too broad Googling the song titles, it looks to be "songs from albums titled...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - let's pay attention to things

This is probably a little late in the LP to be asking this, but does raocow know that he doesn't have to have the default pistol equipped? He barely ever uses the pistol intentionally, and in the stinky arena for example he could have gone down with the Railgun AND Shotgun. wait so the quick-scope ...

Re: VLDC9 - vistas leaving denatured colorants 9

Today's video: Lazy pointed this out in the comments, but the idea with the colored lines in Green Meadows was actually ripped off of another level in this contest (which does it much better too). That aside, Green Meadows is still a decent little romp level, but ultimately pretty bland. I disagree...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - let's pay attention to things

Do you really need nine health packs to get through ten waves of this? Like, a large part of the challenge comes from having to manage your health. Being able to heal after every wave feels cheap, especially since it's a completely optional challenge.

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - let's pay attention to things

I like this area, but the utter lack of fighting music makes me really sad considering this game has great music... just stick one of the boss themes in there or something. The desert boss theme would've been a good touch, since it's a remix of the main theme. But yeah, the lack of music is a bit j...

Re: VLDC9 - vermilion lairs dreadfully culling 9

I liked that level a lot. It's very punishing, but I feel like it could be a very fun postgame level in a full-length hack. It's really rare that you see a puzzle level that doesn't rely on items, but rather on platforming, and figuring out which order you need to handle each obstacle in. It's just ...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - let's pay attention to things

The blue and white clothes decrease the cooldown time between sword slash combos. The brown and blue clothes you got for activating all of the monoliths indeed increases your maximum health by 1. Translations: North Monolith #3: A FOUNDATION FOR FAITH & VIOLENCE West Monolith #4: TRAPPED BY DESP...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - let's pay attention to things

He already got all of the modules in the north. In fact, he came within like five feet of that key before turning back for some inexplicable reason!!! Wait, I thought you needed ALL the modules in the game, not just the ones in the North No, it's only an eight-module door. There's no door in the ga...

And a 10-key door in the North, but it's sorta impossible to miss that one unless he uses the teleporter.

raocow, the monolith you're missing is in the West, not in South zone.

South Monolith #2:

I feel like raocow may have misinterpreted the lizardpeople's motivations here a bit.

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - let's pay attention to things

raocow is missing 1 key from the North, 0 keys from the East, 2 keys from the West, and 4 keys from the South. The monolith raocow is missing in the north (North Monolith #3) is probably the hardest one to find in the game. You need to be very thorough in your search for it, and that includes search...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - now with panda

raocow, once you find the last (fourth) South monolith, you may want to consider putting the rest of the South on hold and going to find the remaining monoliths first. The reward you get for finding all the monoliths is very much worth it. He technically got the fourth South monolith today, since y...

South Monolith #3:

DISTORTION OF LIFE, DEVOURING BODY



The south area is probably my favorite area in this game. Lots of neat lore stuff there, plus the music is really good, and it's got a nice aesthetic. Cool minibosses, too.

Also, the pink equipment makes your stamina start to recharge faster.

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - now with panda

I love HLD's NG+. It just works really well with the game's mechanics, and it feels super satisfying when you actually beat the game.

I hope raocow keeps exploring in the western zone, because there's still a lot of places that he hasn't seen yet.

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - now with panda

Now would probably be a good time to mention that the monoliths actually do say stuff, in a fictional language that needs to be translated in order to be read. The translation isn't provided anywhere in the actual game. People have already translated the language and I don't expect raocow to do so h...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - restore the great doggo empire

I feel like the game might expect you to do the East first; it has the easiest boss in the game, the key doors require a super low amount of keys compared to other areas, and it's very easy to find the keys and the alternate clothes in the area, making it a good introduction to both of those concept...

Re: Hyper Light Drifter - restore the great doggo empire

I'm pretty sure those "dogs" are actually otters. You know, since they're aquatic.

But really, what is an otter if not a wet dog?
