Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus
Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus
I'm hoping and expecting this map gimmick to get increasingly complex.
Really looking forward to this LP.

Now you also told us/him that there's nothing to do there for a while. That even makes me wonder why even tell him to check it out again, when there's nothing left to do there. That was basically wasted time in the recent video, which would have been fine if he decided to check it out himself(could be the case, isn't clear in the video).

Fresh, green morn ~
we can't see ourselves
'neath the clouds.
004. W1 Desert Ruins - Red
Cold fall tombs ~
the only sound is
robot whirrs...
005. W1 Desert Ruins - Gray
Bright, warm morn ~
sand grabs my ankles,
covering...
---------------------------------------
I definitely don't want to spoil anything, 'cause I'm legitimately looking forward to that classic game o' "Let's yell @ raocow through the monitor-o-rama". "If I can't get the chest while invisible for the 1st few minutes, keep trying for many minutes, e'en though I 1st came here while visible". To be fair, as raocow points out, not being able to open the chest while invisible & turning invisible by going through pipes is arbitrary, & I can see how one would have trouble figuring this out if they didn't have the luxury o' reading the manual, as I did.
Fun fact: that scientist who throws the potions, called "Mad Scienstein" in the English translation, is Dr. Arewo Shitain, the prospector from Wario Land 4 ( as well as a character from an obscure Japanese-only Game Boy game called For Frog the Bell Tolls ).
1 thing I find cool 'bout "The Vast Plain" is how it coheres to the concept o' invisibility: @ the start there's a cloud enemy, Teruteru, who grabs your face & makes you unable to see your surroundings, which is only a detriment, & then you have potions that turn you invisible, — the exact opposite — which is usually a boon.
These subtle twists from good to bad o' status effects based on context is why I prefer the invincibility o' Wario Land II & 3: it completely o'erhauls the idea o' "getting hit" so that there is no true concept o' getting hit. E'en getting stunned by a Spearguy can be beneficial in some rare cases. It also better fits the idea that getting hit can sometimes be good as it makes getting hit less punitive, a problem that Wario Land 4 had ( which, interestingly, raocow complained 'bout then, too, despite his claim now that health would be better ): Wario Land 4 wasn't able to distinguish well which enemies you should let hit you & which you shouldn't.
I should also add that, as I think somebody's already mentioned ( I think raocow himself, actually ), wasting time is ultimately all traditional death in video games does, anyway, & in most games it's far mo' time-wasting than Wario Land 3's limited version, & that the slowness o' the zombie status effect isn't tied to that. E'en when you're s'posed to be zombie & succeeding @ the game, the zombie's slow.
'Cause "The Temple" only tells you what level to try next, not what specific treasure, I've ne'er been sure whether the game considers the gray or red treasure o' "Desert Ruins" to be the 4th treasure in sequence. I will note that, 'cause o' how the levels are laid out, if you get a treasure per time-o'-day change, you'll naturally start "Desert Ruins" @ night, where you get the red treasure. I don't know if this was done on purpose, to subtly show off to the player how nonlinear the game can be, e'en with the treasure colors.

Tomorrow we find our first Powerup treasure, and begin the true Metroidvania-ish-ness of the game: BACKTRACKING TO OLD AREAS!
By the way, a fun thing to try casually, not recommending raocow do this, and I'm putting it in spoilers- only look if you honestly want to know!!

No, that's just how it works. Completely invisible to the player, just with occasional flickers into visibility every few seconds and dust from jumping and dashing still visible.

i mean, it would've taken a while to figure out if he hadn't already done it like literally a minute before

Agreed on both accounts here. This game isn't so complex that we need tons of advice and hints. It's no Hollow Knight. It's really good about directing the player to where they next need to explore, and if he bumbles around inside the levels that's just what happens as a new player to the game. If he's having severe trouble with some concept in a week's time (which I doubt since again this game isn't too complicated), then we can start giving him some hints and mechanics advice.tangeruse wrote: im nightposting

Remember, those who want to offer gameplay advice: All that's being requested here is for you to put such advice in spoiler tags. That's literally one extra mouse-click.
Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus
Not to get too involved, but I'd just like to bring up something you seem unaware of- namely, that your opinion of what is or isn't a spoiler differs greatly from the commonly held opinion. And unfortunately, it's not the speaker's opinion that determines whether they're giving out spoilers, but that of the listeners.Sebby19 wrote: ↑5 years ago Erh-hmm
-raocow already noticed the day-night changes, so not a spoiler.
-He has no reason to return to the Peaceful Village naturally, for a while. Let alone regrab the Grey Key.
-Peaceful Village is a standout example of the day-night cycle. Best see it now, than later. But its just a suggestion
I didn't spoiler because none of that IS, in my opinion. People are reading too much into things, jeez.
Take to heart the knowledge that your post was actually reported, and simply err on the side of caution in the future.
Unrelatedly, this is my first time in the thread and I gotta say: I love what you're doing with the first post. That's gonna be so cool.

As someone who hasn't played the game it feels incredibly unintuitive. There's no actual logic to suggest that going through a pipe is what you need to do in order to deactivate invisibility. It feels like one of those things that should wear off after a certain amount of time.

-manages to become visible at the wrong time and doesn't really register what he did
-after becoming invisible, struggles to figure out how to become visible again
-manages to become visible but in the wrong place and doesn't think "oh it's the pipe" rather than the area transition
-deliberately avoids jumping down into the area with the pipe that made him visible before, and even says that he's not jumping down there
-eventually goes "I think I turned visible after that guy pushed me down in the pit" and then theorizes that it's the pushing that did it, not something that happened in the pit
I mean, yeah, I get that he wasn't really paying that close attention, but that doesn't make it less painful to watch that happen when you know what he should be doing.

Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus
There was a point where he was hopping over the pits trying to figure out what to do and he goes "well I don't want to fall down there" and I pulled out my phone and started screwing around cause I knew we were gonna be here for a while

I also could not figure out duck jumping as a kid, so I spent hours trying to get the desert daytime key just charging at the wall.

Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus
Updated! Started a legend for different categories of treasures.
Everything is coming along nicely. Once the legend is completed, I'll be able to spit these out sooner, instead of making temp alterations to the master flowchart.
Until the flow chart becomes more complicated later on, because of course it will. Every metroidvania opens the sandbox eventually.
