Precision Platforming vs Floaty Jumps | Iron Diamond [EP02]
This second session of "Iron Diamond" highlights some excellent ideas and some... iffy... choices.
I continue to really like the Metroid-like dripfeed of upgrades and traversal abilities, but it does rely quite heavily on just tanking damage - I think it could have been so much more.
Also, the tiny spiky platforms with the floaty imprecise jumping are...well... not a good design choice.

My Primary Directive is to Have Fun | Iron Diamond [EP01]
Переглядів 1087 годин тому
Unsure how much of this I will actually play for the channel, but I enjoyed the "quick" bash I had on it today. While it is not the best looking game, it has some solid systems. While it has floaty jumping, everything else mechanically seems pretty tight. Plus, I like the sense of humour in conversations: our protagonist is very... blunt...! I appreciate that! (And at £4.01 for launch week, it'...
Painting A Frustrating Picture | "Constance" Demo 2 - Playthrough & Feedback (August 2024)

Constance presents you with a choice upon death: continue from the start of the room that you're in with only 60% health, or return to a savepoint and fight and platform your way back to where you died. It's a novel and thematic choice, but one I feel will - when coupled with a punishing healing system where you cannot regain charges for healing in combat - ultimately backfire on the game. Keep...

    I think the developer didn't have too many playtesters. As you said, the developer should have kept in mind to make the movement consistent. Overall, I think the creator of the game approached the level design badly, and made them in a typical "ragequit games" way.

    On demo1 they let you buy 1 more health vial (keep excess heal for later use) so no healing inside combat is fine for me. However, I don't like the fact that there is no healing shrine near the boss room or the hard platforming bits. I say make Death Penalty optional. Let the player toggle it on/off however they wish. Although in a way it's still better than losing shards or getting forced warp back to check point.

    Great video and you pretty much echo'd my sentiments of the game. The start is mid, I found I was really forcing myself to play it, but the mid section is great, aside from the edgy dialogue and story, but the "pink spikes" and and golden tower end are an absolute slog. I was reminded of "Laika" when playing it, but Laika has a definite punk/anti fascist leaning to the story, but never felt it was trying to hard to convey the message. I also think Laika is a far superior game in every aspect.

    • @demajen

      I really wanted to get into Laika but I could NOT get the hang of the controls, which is a shame as the map was super cool and I’d have liked to be able to put a proper map guide together for it. (I’m sure someone else has done one by now!)

    I really like how the first tier of the Arcadion gets to the point rather quickly and lets you do the first two fights without much story getting in the way, so it's a good way to get hooked into the WWE-like arena fight scenario and rapidly introduce new characters for this story to get started. After M2 and M3 there is a bit more serious story, so I'm sure the story will be a bit more elaborate after this tier. Also, personally I absolutely love the M2 and M4 music, I can listen to them on permanent loop and never get bored of it, they are now part of my workout music playlist.

      Enemies feel very spongy and our outgoing damage feels low, despite finding as many upgrades as I could. It turned the middle section into a slog, rather than keeping a nice difficulty curve going. That's just my own personal opinion, though: apparently a lot of people like the game a lot.

    Hello! Thank you for your awesome maps. Like you mentioned I CAN NOT find the Tram to Surface West. I see it in the Spiders den but there’s spikes in the way and I’ve walked around way to long in this map less room to run into it. Where the heck do you get to it from? Thanks! 🤓

    • @demajen
      @demajen 13 днів тому

      Yeah, I'm afraid you have to get to that Tram via the Greenhouse [Connection] and down into Arachnid Nest. The only real advice I can give for that dark 3D maze place is that the flamethrower can light the torches and they stay lit, so you can technically mark the paths you take by making sure you light each torch as you go. It's still confusing as heck, but that should help a little bit.

    • @JeremyThompson-rp1tb
      @JeremyThompson-rp1tb 13 днів тому

      Ok so when you run into the spikes from the ride side of it you need to find a way from left I’m guessing. I know I’m to the point where I have everything but a flame dash I’m guessing cause everywhere I can’t go requires one. But I tell you I have walked that maze forever and I can’t run into the tram. Kinda strange they through it in like that when everything else it more sum what explanatory but that’s why we love exploration. So I’ll keep walking the maze till I find it I guess just making sure I wasn’t missing anything! Thanks from Portland Oregon. Anything you remember about this maze please let me know. Hugs

    • @demajen
      @demajen 13 днів тому

      @@JeremyThompson-rp1tb The maze is tricky because a big chunk of it where the boss fight is, you can't actually get back to from the left hand side. I can give you directions to the checkpoint after which you get into boss territory, but after that I've got no way of checking the route without trying to dig out my old footage. Directions to the checkpoint: head into the maze from Garden [Connection] and move right until you find a big slope. Shortly after it, you'll see a ledge above you and a path straight right. Ignore the ledge, head right and jump across the first gap you see. Immediately stop and grab the ledge above you, heading further right. This will take you through some vines and around a couple of bends with those spider alien enemies. You'll find a lamp on the floor and have to drop down. Do so, the head left (since right is blocked). As you head left, keep an eye on the ceiling above you for the first gap. Jump up and right, then head right to the checkpoint.

Did this twice. I’ve played games for decades and have a total understanding of mazes and games but this is just strange. Maybe a big. Oh well was having fun till this. 2 hours walking every path and not lighting torch’s and lighting a few to lighting them all. Spikes in the way and can’t proceed without. Game breaker sad face. ❤️

    Biomorph goes in my top 10 best (modern) Metroidvania games list. Taking the 5th spot, just above the Blasphemous games and Ender Lilies, to be precise. It is really good, highly recommended.

      I never actually did NG+ myself, as it wasn't in the game at launch when I played iirc, but yeah, I believe you keep all your spirits for NG+, which allows you to maximise all of them.

Upon selecting NG+, it says the following: "Lily's Status, Actions, Spirits, Relics, and Findings from the previous save file will carry over and a New Game+ save file will be created in its place. All enemies will be as strong as end-game counterparts. Some items related to story progression will not carry over." That's game version 1.1.6. :)

    Do you think the Perch of the Apex was a product of Whalaqee magic? If you think about it, they use totems and can replicate the abilities of powerful foes encountered. These things hold the spirit of the tural vidraal and replicate their powers in life. So I’m thinking it’s some kind of lost technique was involved. Just don’t know why.

    • @demajen
      @demajen 14 днів тому

      I think it’s highly likely to be at least a reference to the Whalaqee, yeah. The totems are distinctive and all have (at least the three I’ve done) a specific “spell”. I’ve still got tank and ranged phys dps to do, so not sure what they involve just yet. I do find it a bit odd that the Whalaqee have only had like a single mention in passing. I wasn’t expecting them tied into the MSQ or anything, but I thought at least one might show up in a side quest - unless I’ve missed it.

    • @demajen
      @demajen 17 днів тому

      I *vaguely* recall (and please keep in mind it's been a couple years now) but I think he loops up and to the right. Like from where he's marked on the map, he then goes down into the otherwise empty little loop below, and then he heads up to left of where you first found him, I think. Up towards the pillar fragment. I could be really really wrong though, I'm sorry! At one point I'd got all their routes marked on, but people told me it was confusing >_<

    I’m a bit curious. Could Alisaie not help us? A porxie should be able to at least mitigate some of the condition so long as Eutrope is not too far gone with her condition. My original thought was the champions were sent to a facility like Origenics when hearing what happened to them. Also Wrath of Zeus is a callback to the reoccurring item Zeus’s Wrath. It’s a consumable that causes lightning damage. Not too deep I think.

    • @demajen
      @demajen 19 днів тому

      Must admit, I didn't know Zeus' Wrath was a consumable, because I never use them in games -- potions, hi-pots and phoenix down only, usually :D As to the Alisae question, possibly. This ties into a bigger issue that FFXIV has with narrative stakes, however. After 10 years of constant obstacles being overcome, we've got the solution to a lot of things sorted already, which means that either the writers need to be a LOT more creative and out there --- which would lead to cries from the 'community' of "it's unbelievable" --- or we conventiently don't use the knowledge the WoL would clearly have --- again with the cries of "unbelieveable!" Both are contrived; both are going to piss people off, as the MSQ has so deftly proven. Not sure what the solution is. In fact, I don't really think there is or can be one, which is a shame.
