    to most, thunder jumper is like the blue border, something to glance at before going back to what you were doing. noobking was like scott, seeing it as a muse to inspire, rather than a mere distraction. danya was like scotts friends, maybe they took it a little to seriously, but yet, a legend was born of their conquest.

    Umm, jumping is the best way to go faster than running in celeste. It is literaly coded every time you jump you get +40 speed, and if you dash then jump you get to keep your dash speed while not dashing, and that is THE defining mechanic of celeste speedruns.

    This video was pretty cool. Though tbh I would recommend putting a separate TAS leaderboard as it can be unfair for the other human players to be beated by TAS runs

    • @HeyGrouch
      @HeyGrouch  Місяць тому +9

      yeah TAS isn't on the normal leaderboard :)

    • @Woodledude
      @Woodledude Місяць тому +11

      Don't worry, the speedrunners generally agree, and this is very common practice. TAS runs are kept pretty separated from what are called "Real Time Attack" or RTA runs - They're useful tools and showcases, but they are a different beast, and typically well labelled as such.
      That said, there are two things to know about TASes:
      - They're actually created by people, they're not automated. There are "tools" that give these people some huge advantages over "unassisted" runs, but they use those tools to painstakingly research what's possible in the game. The bragging rights are very different for TASers.
      - TASes usually open up new strategies and ideas that humans use to improve their capabilities and performances. It's actually not uncommon to "beat the TAS" - sometimes with the techniques from that TAS or a better one, or sometimes from normal glitch hunting, routing, and theory crafting enabling a faster time than a highly optimized TAS using outdated techniques.

    • @DanyaV-real
      @DanyaV-real Місяць тому +6

      Grouch phrased it like I used TAS to beat noobking's records, but the thing is... I didn't even make it until after I got all the WRs! I got all those records legitimately.
      Also, there would be no way that a TAS would be allowed on a normal leaderboard, as it is pretty much cheating, especially in a game like this.

    By the way, this speedrunner players can help you find problems, bugs and glitches in the game easier, precisely because they tests and pushes the limits of the game like no other player. Also, he can help you improve the game in other areas like adding more objects or obstacles, if possible through feedback since you can tell he is hell bent on playing it and into the game. In fact, this game IS PERFECT AND IS (accidentally) MADE FOR SPEEDRUN. By the way, your game looks fun, I hope you have success with it when it comes out complete and polished. :)

The 7 bucks was worth it and I should write a review soon. The limitless speed is so fun, just zooming through levels. I just wish there was a way to rebind keys...

      @@HeyGrouch Wow I actually really liked your compositions! I remember scrolling down to see a list of music used as I was watching. I guess that's one thing you could add?
      Rewatching the video I see nice editing, good pacing, not much I can put my finger on... I think it is the writing that connects parts of the video. Many descriptions felts simplified and/or watered down, and the competitive spirit in comparing the speedruns could have been done better, as it feels a bit childish and silly to me in this version. Your description of TAS kinda encapsulates my problems. I've never made a video but I'd personally use a visual for it instead (NES TAS runs sometimes have a controller visualization on-screen and/or an input timeline. FCEUX has easy-to-use TAS tools in case you wanted to create your own footage)
      Lastly, continuing the "believe in your game" advice, I think adopting a "this has been my journey" framing rather than "look at all these crazy friends in my discord" format could have helped in establishing your game as more than just a platformer game but a foundation that attracted the right kinds of people who invested into your game to derive deeper meaning and satisfaction- more than just a disposable demo (a theme that you actually did kinda touch on in the beginning though)
      Then again, I'm not representative of your audience, (born 99) neither do I have experience in online marketing or video production. And generally bad at reading the room also. But I do see and appreciate the effort that goes into your work and the videos (1.0 release of the game, rebalance mod actually existing and being playable etc) and would love to see the creative spirited get reflected in your high-production videos but I realize it is hard and not many creative youtubers manage to find the balance.
      I hope it gives you an idea, sorry for rambling on in a youtube comment!

What you thought was the "soldier" cheat code was actually a different dev feature that grouch forgot to leave out, that, when you press "i", the level will instantly get cleared. What the "soldier" cheat code actually is is that, if you type it on the main menu, you will be able to play as soldier from TF2! You also get force-o'-nature as a secondary weapon.

    Im a gamedev student and extremly impressed by the fluidity of the movement system. Could you tell me if ypu used a kinematic or non kinematic approach? And if possible how to approach the roap swinging. Again impressive stuff

    • @HeyGrouch
      @HeyGrouch  Місяць тому +2

      Fluidity was the main priority when designing the movement! The physics are mostly dynamic.
      Rockets add a constant force regardless of proximity. Old versions of the game had proximity to the center of a blast as a factor in the force of the blast, but this made the game feel EXTREMELY inconsistent.
      The game further helps with consistency by resetting a player’s downward (but only downward!) velocity whenever they hit a blast below them. This niche rule allows players to perform wall jumps much easier. Old versions didn’t have this rule, and many players would struggle to get up walls.
      Rocket jumps performed while standing/running/sliding on ground also give a decent bit of bonus Y-veloctiy. This means grounded jumps push players further upward than wall-jumps or rocket-hops. This feels intuitive especially when combined with the previous rule.
      As for the grapple, the “retraction” feature is absolutely vital. It’s easiest to notice if you go in-game and grapple a ceiling, then while grappling perform a rocket jump straight up.
      The gravity of the world is also double the acceleration of earth’s gravity. This helps the player feel in control for a few reasons. Firstly, the player has more strafe control on the ground, so getting the player back on the ground quickly helps with control. Secondly, the player can usually do things to maintain their air-time like grappling, rocket-hopping, wall-jumping, etc. So if the player is in the air, it’s because they want to be there, and they can perfectly control how long they’re in the air for. They’re never “floating.”
      And while it has nothing to do with physics, giving the player infinite ammo and instant respawns has a huge impact on fluidity. A player never has to hesitate when shooting, they can always just “GO!” Players are never thinking about anything other than the space of the level- In other words, there is nothing distracting the player from the core gameplay element of maneuverability. If a player dies, it’s because they didn’t maneuver correctly- not because they forgot about ammo, or got unlucky, or got surprised, etc.
      You’ll also notice that if a player is holding a directional input, they’ll continue that directional input between deaths. Pretty standard stuff, but it’s always worth pointing out.
      If you’re interested in furthering your studies, I HIGHLY recommend the book “The Art of Game Design” by Jesse Schell. I’d say it’s required reading for any game designer. In particular, the section on “The Lens of The Toy” was highly influential on my design approach.
      I hope this helps! Once you make your first game, I'd love to check it out! :)

    • @HeyGrouch

    • @DanyaV-real
      @DanyaV-real Місяць тому

      I'm like 2 weeks late, but whatever
      Technically, yes, you CAN triple sync or even higher, but it's way harder to get than just a double, because you have to shoot two rockets into one place so they explode at the same time PLUS shoot one at the end. It is also rare to actually be useful in actual runs, as you won't be able to just do it in the middle of it because of its difficulty.
      So yeah, you can triple sync, but it is impractical to do it in a run.
