    Dev of Genome Guardian here - First of all, *OH MY GOD I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS!*
    Second: *OH GOD I AM SORRY ABOUT THE COPYRIGHTED MUSIC.* (I spoke with him in DMs about it already)
    I am very new to this. I was told by multiple people that there wouldn't be an issue and that I shouldn't need to explicitly state that the music is copyrighted. I've put an update out that makes this super clear right on the main menu now!
    (P.S. it's not me making copyright claims, it's the creators of the music, or something)

    This game is probably one of the best roguelikes that came out this year. It has such a simple premise with the four base weapon type system but has actually some deeper strategic mechanics behind it and a LOT of variety. Not only have you 69 (nice) different weapons in the game, you also have over 70 different perks, some of which can completely alter the way you play and you have 38 different turrets which are also very different. Examples include Daisy, which constantly spins around and fires in two directions at the same time or Deadeye, which always has pinpoint accuracy, including shotguns (no spread).
    Would be nice if you could cover more of this game because I think it's worth it with all the avriety that the game offers. The dev is also an absolute beast, he constantly has pushed out update after update since release and he still has more planned including another new game mode (breakout this time).

    Meta progression gives actual purpose to playing, and get more options to choose from. Without it, there is no progression outside of a single run, things are fleeting. That in particular is really nice, having the extra perks and towers be available there constantly keeps the game fresh. Every advancement and victory you achieve gives you the ability to go further,.

    So here's a meta progression idea you might be more into.
    A loadout system. Your highest score gives you points to spend on what your vehicle/character is, what weapon you start with, maybe what stage or what stats you begin with.
    Idk... Not sure it's that awesome, but it's an interesting idea.

    A few months late to asking this question but, what is your personal reason for disliking meta progression? I'm in the middle of playing around with making a roguelike/roguelite and was leaning towards the latter with significant meta progression I had assumed that a majority of people like it (myself included).
    I've never heard the perspective of "meta progression = not fun" and am curious to anyone who feels that way, what specific parts take the fun out of it for you? Also is it just the way that most people do meta progression or is all meta progression annoying/unsatisfying? (i.e. if this game only gave you new unlockable ships with your research points that are slightly better is that still "bad" meta progression or is it a more fun version of it?)

    • @OlexaYT
      @OlexaYT  4 місяці тому +1

      Unlockable content = good, improving your stats to make the game easier as a whole, but really the game is just balanced around you losing until you’re more powerful, thus gating the funnest part of the game until you’ve dumped hours into it = bad

      It always feels lazy and intrusive to me. Like the game is taunting you, telling you you need to waste your time losing before you can win. Some games do it very well but others just waste the player’s time. Tiny rogues is an example of one that does it very well, buff the player but give them many choices so it’s strategic and not just “here’s 5% more damage”
