This week I will be polishing the previous level to make them in a more finished playable state. Then when Im done, Ill restart this "first draft" process again until we get all of the level done.
@@tackey8632 Currently, there's planned to be 5 worlds, each with 4 regular levels and a boss level. After the fifth world, there will be one final regular level, and then the final boss fight.
Been binge watching these old devlogs, it's really interesting bearing witness to the history of this game. I'm 75% done P-ranking the final game. Crazy to see how much stuff has changed, that's game dev for ya!
Instead of making the superjump super weak, you should base it on how much speed Peppino has. Mach 1: weak Mach 2: medium Mach 3: strong Mach 4: infinite
would've actually loved this mechanic in the final game, with slight adjustments. Mach 1: About double the normal jump height Mach 2: About triple the normal jump height Mach 3: Infinite Mach 4: Infinite, but you go up faster. Also I think if this mechanic made it into the final game, instead of just having an infinite superjump anywhere as long as you have Mach 3+, I think you should only be able to cancel a superjump at Mach 3, because mach 1+2 wouldn't have enough height for a superjump cancel to be nessecary, but Mach 4 would have a faster superjump, for the cost of lacking a cancel.
When PTG uploads, I come running like an Italian guy to a pizza lovers' convention. Oh man, sounds like the forest will have a beautiful art style. Although I saw the stream, and several of the level being made, I'm a big fan of the idea of some levels taking on a nonlinear structure with different paths leading to each Toppin. It is absolutely ingenious and I am SO hyped for how this will turn out in the grand scheme of things. Mom, can I play MoM? Mom: We have MoM at home. MoM: (I couldn't resist, not sorry)
I think pizza coins should have more uses like keeping the unused ones after beating the level and saving them to buy things like the cowboy hat in some kind of shop
Even though there won't be unique escape themes for every level (which I understand wholeheartedly is difficult and time consuming to do) with many of them being scrapped, I believe the levels that _do_ have unique escape themes can still have them implemented in some way. Here's an idea: every level has the default escape theme "It's pizza time!"/"Pesto anchovi", but after every few levels there's one level which already has it's own. For instance, the level order could be, let's say... Pizzascape, The ancient cheese, and Bloodsauce dungeon, where after that selection it's the factory level with *it's* own escape theme (Running with your pockets full of meatballs). Or- as another example, it's Oregano Desert, the farm level, and then the Freezer, where after them comes Tubular Trash Zone and it's special escape theme (Toxic Rave).
I have though of a building-like level where Peppino has to deliver Pizza by choosing the correct topping and get score. It explains why Peppino is super effective a pizza delivery man. *30 minutes or it is free!*
KaczeЯ but look at 0:16 Notice how the jump slows down before it even touches anything and how peppino can do it from a standstill, in the sage demo you had to do it when running at Mach 3-4 and peppino would shoot up until he hit something
Superjump has been nerfed hard. We had a big discussion about it on the discord for like 2 days, but in short it makes it really hard to design the level with it in mind, mostly when theres vertical platforming section since you could basically fly. To compromise the nerf, I changed it so you can do the jump anytime, and it also has a "drill" property where you keep going up if you hit an enemy or destroy blocks.
Hey I saw your recent discord video of the forest level,and It looks pretty great! So,you deliver a pizza to a gnome just so a giant mouse can chase the cheese it appears next to. That's funny.
I'm looking forward to this! I like how the shinespark was changed, and I'm glad to see more diversity in level indentity! I also hope to see more cameos! I'm really glad that you're consistently working on the game (unlike a certain other dev), I know game development is really taxing! That being said, I'm not a big fan of some of the decisions being made here, like the fact that enemies stay alive after hitting them with certain attacks, and combos now increment when enemies hit the ground instead of when you hit them. (This sounds minor but it really isn't.) They move pizza tower away from the combo-based action that made me love pizza tower in the first place. Overall, though, I like what I see, and cant wait for more. Good luck! *gd logo emote*
Also to note, the enemies spinning out will happen when you do a normal attack, otherwise they will instantly die like before if you rush at them at Mach 3 or body slam them from high enough. I just didnt touch this stuff at all while designing the levels!
Will the game have a defined story (dialogue, cutscenes, etc.), or will it be more like older games which have simple premises (classic Mario and Sonic)?
So are some of the older levels like the Factory and Mansion going to be tweaked to work with the altered mechanics, or have they been completely scrapped at this point and have to be completely reworked?
in the sage demo if you look into the rooms with a data.win viewer you can see that mansion has been reworked to have an outside and have pepperman chase you, i dont think that's final but yeah he has been working on the mansion level way before the first thing of the week
@Kokoroko it’s really janky. Besides the jet pack is already cool enough to make him an original character and not a pepino clone. Like I said it would be cooler to use as a ground pound
I thought up of a Custom SAGE 2020,where fan games with previous SAGE Demos will have to be remade with content from Steven Universe(A TV Original by Cartoon Network). And my thought-up bonus content for My thought-up Custom SAGE 2020 Demo of Pizza Tower would include the Main Characters of Steven Universe(Steven,Connie,Amethyst,Pearl,Garnet,& Spinel). Oh,If you don't know Steven Universe,look it up on Google or something! You might be interested in it,probably.
"I couldn't figure out a good use for Gustavo"
He's the Mario to Peppino's Wario! He serves his purpose without even being in the game!
@mxloukaplayz9487gustavo is playable. Twice.
@mxloukaplayz9487a lot of people compare Gustavo's personality to be more like Mario if peppino is Wario
This week I will be polishing the previous level to make them in a more finished playable state. Then when Im done, Ill restart this "first draft" process again until we get all of the level done.
Out of curiosity, how many worlds do you think you're going to include in the final game? Will they have different numbers of levels?

the fact that you called gustavo a fucking pizza gnome makes me happy
I'm calling it now, this OST is going to be nothing short of a spicy pizza pie!

I didn't remember that Gustavo was supposed to be a gnome back then lol
“Help Peppino get to the end of the maze and to SAGE! Draw a line from start to finish!”
Oh cool there's actual pizza delivery in this game now.

I can imagine that there’s one delivery that’ll have to be made during the escape
Well? I guess you're right

Caught me off guard for a second
Also what’s up with the shinespark, how does it function now?
Nothing has changed, I think. It works exactly the same as in Sage demo
PTG's removing it

@@pizzatower8322 That honestly sounds like it could be really fun for certain levels

Dont worry this is just some unfixed bugs, most enemies will only take one hit to kill and the combo system will account for when you hit them.
Also to note, the enemies spinning out will happen when you do a normal attack, otherwise they will instantly die like before if you rush at them at Mach 3 or body slam them from high enough. I just didnt touch this stuff at all while designing the levels!
@@pizzatower8322 That's really good!
Also, one more thing, you should set the combo max score from 40 back to 80.
thanks for the epic description, pizza tower guy
It may be time for a level map in the pause menu, metroidvania-style
_>sees tentacle monster_
I've played enough doujin games to know where this is going...
SHUT
There's even a monster girl variant of it. But i don't want to tell you where it's from
Bruh, great concept!
Hey wouldn't it be funny if that Gustavo guy made friends with a rat?
Gustavo Time
OHHHHHHHHH I LOVED THIS SONG ON THE EARLY OST BLESS YOU PIZZA GOD
I look through this and only NOW is when I see that the stupid pickle enemy is a reference.
More weird levels that play with the mechanics will be great
Who in the hell wants pickles on their pizza? This must be the most disgusting and most horrifying pizza tower enemy topping Snick.jpg.
Guy named Rick believe it or not it’s a thing
I like it. should probably be used in a lot more levels and also be introduced a lot earlier. Pepino is a delivery guy after all...
this is a memoir moment
oh my god gustavo was just a pizza cook in this build
nice music pizza tower dude!
Lario: Origins
A forest maze inspired by RPGs you say? Where have I heard that one before?
I wonder if Gnorris will make an appearance.
Will the game have a defined story (dialogue, cutscenes, etc.), or will it be more like older games which have simple premises (classic Mario and Sonic)?
Older ganes
Pickle Rick in Pizza Tower 😮😮😮😳😳
WHHHHAAAATTT?!!!!!
HUUUHHHHH????
WHHHHAAAATTT!!!
@Frostix DID YOU MAKE THIS GOD OF A BOMB SONG?!?!?!?!!
@Frostix oh hiya frostix boi
hey i have an idea
since the super jump has been nerfed
how about making the super jump higher depending on which mach your are on?
seemed to rlly like the first part cause its still in the modern pt
There will be more character cameos from other games?
This song reminds me of another song, but I really can't remember

i wonder what this song is called
neato
wait, Gustavo's a gnome??
it was retconned on the final game, so no anymore
Do enemies not die in one hit anymore?
Some of them no longer die in a single hit.
whats the song used here?
Ok how many outside levels are we gonna have.
Y e s
Thing of the week 8
So are some of the older levels like the Factory and Mansion going to be tweaked to work with the altered mechanics, or have they been completely scrapped at this point and have to be completely reworked?

What if the ending was delivering a pizza
is there gonna be skateboard noise ever
Nope
This song sounds like jamba by tyler the creator
@Frostix youre the music guy? Did you steal it?
@Frostix Its probably nbd, i make music too and i get paranoid. Youre gonna be the next bobby prince :)
Ooh
NOW THIS IS GONNA MAKE SENSE TO GAME ITSELF
(cuz we playing as a pizza deliver so why not to make gameplay like "deliver this sh** to this sh**")
Any idea that a game designer thinks of is a good idea, as long as it can be properly implemented in. Just look at conkers bad fur day
The final boss of Conker kinda sucked a lot though.
@@PipeGuy64Bit It sure did. I bet the final boss of pizza tower will be way better
@@mr.gameandwatchfan4243 Totally. The first boss of this game makes the potential for the rest of them to all be promising enough.
There’s way too easy of a joke to be made about what the magic pickle could do to peppino
like “pleasuring” peppino?
(I’m sorry)
if you were sorry you wouldn’t have said it. Perish
Peppinos launch is finite =[
What is that enemy at the end of the video called?
Space Olive?

DO NOT LOOK AT THE DESCRIPTION

PTG!!! I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The super jump suggestion I put in the twitch chat was used!!
Why is the pickle a he?
I really don’t like the pogo stick for the noise, it’s really janky. It should be a groundpound instead of a dash. I liked the skateboard better...
That one guy who’s here for no reason why not? It makes him more of a character then a peppino clone
@Kokoroko it’s really janky. Besides the jet pack is already cool enough to make him an original character and not a pepino clone. Like I said it would be cooler to use as a ground pound
That one guy who’s here for no reason it’s not really janky, it just takes a while to get used to it
@Kokoroko Nah fam it janky
That one guy who’s here for no reason I disagree but then again, opinions are opinions
Please port to switch when released
You didn't even mention the fact you're removing the super jump SMH.
I think he just nerfed it so you wouldn’t jump infinitely upwards, you can see this at the start of the video
william ratcliffe yeah tbf while it did have a lot of speedrun potential, it was just broken as all hell
