Celeste - Everest
Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
Oh, you're returning to chapter 1 for completion before starting chapter 2. That's going to make the let's play more spoilery for those of us that are casually playing from chapter to chapter without getting everything yet.

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
this game has been pretty good so far. i like the lack of exposition at the beginning, the character just shows up and starts climbing, even though there's clearly a plot of some kind
it half makes me wonder if i should be playing it instead, and half makes me wonder why raocow hasn't played the end is nigh yet since its structure is rather similar

Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

This is a bit better than the end is nigh, it's more approachable, and it seems to have more respect for the player.Leet wrote: ↑5 years ago this game has been pretty good so far. i like the lack of exposition at the beginning, the character just shows up and starts climbing, even though there's clearly a plot of some kind

X is pretty brave to be tackling the mountain without an air dash.

He has it, but for some reason his sprite never changes unless you have the full armor in Xtreme.

Yeah, so this game is literally "What if the Jumper dude made Knytt Stories?"

This game is beautiful and I can really see how it builds off Thorsen's earlier work design-wise.
Also, I definitely approve of the video titles.

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
Of course if you're the sort to overlook the "return to map" option in the menu when looking to return to the map then that's not going to help much, lol.
Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
Menus are hard man
I mean, "Return to Map", what does that even mean? Could be anything. Literally nobody knows.
In all seriousness though, this game seems extremely fun to play. The difficulty is already nothing to scoff at, but I'm excited to see where it will go. This has all the markings for a great LP!

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
y'all are giving raocow a hard time about this but, in all seriousness, "Return to Map" is equally likely to mean "Return to Map without saving your collectibles" as it is to mean "Return to Map and save your collectibles"

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
I guess my one criticism of this game so far is that it needs some indication of what is a death pit, and what isn't.
For example, Shantea has faded skull and cross bones rise float up. Other games get away with a simple 'fade to black' effect done there.

Easily tested by saving and quitting, reloading, then trying the option. And if it turns out to work as it actually does then that saves you the time of having to repeat large chunks of chapters. If it turns out to not work that way then it only wastes like 20 seconds one time.

leet i was like the only lad to vote for The End is Nigh on patreon. people really like cheerful pixels instead of gloopy depressed blops. It's a bit unfortunate

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
From what I can see from raocow's videos so far, Celeste's rule is that the bottom of the screen is always fatal.
If you ever exit via the top of the screen, it'll put you on a one-way platform on the new screen. If the game wants a returnable vertical-ish route, it'll have sideways doors that scroll the screen diagonally.
EDIT: now I'm remembering exceptions to this rule we've already seen. Never mind. Hah, I was pretty impressed with this trick I imagined the game used.
Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
I think all those exceptions are always clearly marked in a way like "why would you want to go here just to seemingly die?", so I assume it will be like this for the whole game.

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
from what i've seen of the end is nigh the controls look really heavy and intentionally awkward plus i'm just not a fan of the newgrounds-esque "edgy" aesthetic all of mcmillen's games have. or his level design philosophy in general, really.
chapter 3
has level design that reminds me a lot of meat boy and it's by far my least favorite chapter in the game just in generali've honestly never played a video game in my life

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
Loving the game and the LP so far! This is the first I've heard of the game since I'v'e been living under a rock since about August but it's looking like one I'll need to play!
Also loving the episode titles, I just finished rewatching the original series so that's nicely timed.

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
This sounds exciting; chapter 1 here already has the meat boy/TEIN vibes with these fast conveyor platforms.

Re: Celeste - Chomo Lonzo
it's way less exciting than you think
also i said already that i think it would be for the best to wait on the b-sides until you've cleared all the a-sides, yeah, the first b-side is still harder platforming than most of the main game has
