    Holy shit.....its been 13 years. 13. Since I remember watching this game being announced. I've then moved on to become an adult and now there's a demo of this thing.
    It's almost a miracle so many indie darlings of the teen years of the twentieth century have been able to see the light of day. All I need now is ROUTINE and I'm good. Thanks for covering this one ABG!

    Note: It may not be obvious in the video, but although you are immortal, it only takes a one or two hits to "kill" you, making you rematerialize at the start of the room (So the battles are nice and challenging).

    • @jakehero95
      @jakehero95 Рік тому +1

      Hyper Light Drifter is just something else, absolutely incredible game and story telling. I got to use it as a learning experience that changed the way I program from then on. I was very active in the GameMaker community when it was made and decompiled the early executable into the project file to take a look at the code. The way they used the engine and did certain things was genius and seeing what it took to make a full game and that it was possible inspired me to begin my own project that turned into writing my own 2D game engine. Then I saw the documentary with the creator and fell in love with it even more, his vision and life story are incredible. I did the same thing with the original Spelunky which is another amazingly coded game, like I remember being in awe of how the ledge grabs were done lol. I actually still have the GameMaker 8 project and source code sittin on my laptop for that one. I'll always be grateful to Alx Preston and Derek Yu for the masterpieces they made that taught me so so much 🙏

    What an interesting XP gain system
    You cant just slaughter everything like a hack'n'slash
    You have to *count*
    Remember, *EXACTLY ZERO* to gain XP, otherwise its NULL
    So you cant just Melee and pray.
    Sometimes you need to shoot some potshot just to kill enemies right.
    Also, love how the HUD is very crude, like a hastily programmed interface.

    • @quint3ssent1a

    The fact that you deliberately killed enemy to -1 HP just annoys me to no end. But I assume it's one of those "get perfect 0 on a test" scenario where you know and understand the mechanic but simply choose to handicap yourself instead. It is still extremely mind-wrecking to watch though.
