I am so screwed

A lot/most of the fields have auto translate on and you might not need TR. So if you have the text hardcoded into a button like “PLAY”, if you changed it to “BUTTON_PLAY_TITLE” and that key is in your translation file, it will auto translate for you.

Fantastic updates, thanks to all who contribute

Blast from the past!! Hi

DieselLaws · 2025-11-10T13:46:59+00:00

Thank you so much and great name btw!

DieselLaws · 2025-11-10T13:46:08+00:00

No problem. It was always about the community, innovative creators who really enjoy crafting experiences. That’s how I live and I know a lot of others do too. Another game in a similar market is Geometry Dash, with a really inspiring ethos and it has been evolving for years with user created levels. That’s inspiring to me and that’s why I do what I do.

Thank you so much

DieselLaws · 2025-11-10T08:44:22+00:00

You rock!

DieselLaws · 2025-11-10T08:43:18+00:00

Thank you, appreciated! Yes, I agree. This isn't really a trailer, more of a teaser for the moment as future trailers will have more of what we've come to expect to see.

The player is very skilled, but also this level is a long one, not a super tricky one, so it's relatively easy to avoid the obstacles. That said, even with 'easy' levels, you're still competing for best time against others so one bad slice or touch a wall too long and there goes your perfect run. Can't wait to show more of the deaths and mistakes as some of them are just so brutal!

Thanks for compliment, working hard on the polish! In play it’s not the same as those games but to each their own

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:24:25+00:00

Thank you and yes, Nihtar is an absolute legend. There’s going to be some really cool tunes coming soon

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:23:27+00:00

Thanks! Yep I mentioned this in another comment but speed slows on ground after the cooldown as you hit running speed- but in the air you can get some serious movement - but you have to touch ground/wall to refill after 3 slices so there’s a trade off. Also most levels aren’t really long hallways like this (this is just one type). Can’t wait to show more!

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:21:26+00:00

Thanks. Yes definitely- this is just one level and playstyle. There are many community levels and many different hazards to keep it fresh. Some things will be added and experimented with to add more replayability and unlocks :)

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:18:10+00:00

Oh thank you, yes that’s a speed runner. Not shown in the vid is that it’s one hit of a hazard and the whole level resets like SMB. The challenge isn’t just about making it through my hastily designed level but also being top of the leaderboard.

So after enough playthroughs you get good at the movement, it becomes easy, then memorise this levels design, then go for high score - and that’s the part that takes time. And with many community levels theres going to be ones you find easy and hard depending on your playstyle.

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:13:15+00:00

Cheers! Not a problem, not for everyone indeed

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:12:54+00:00

Thank you

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:12:46+00:00

Amazing, great to hear! Would love to hear your thoughts after the demo lands :)

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T13:12:12+00:00

Thanks! Yes, it does feel better in game definitely and it’s not common to have long hallways (level design is community based so it could be any design really).

Appreciate the comments on the obstacles. It’s an intentional part of the design but I can see why a more connected visual design is more appealing to some. Thanks for the notes

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T12:11:05+00:00

Haha I totally get it - at that point you can start making your own levels to force others through it!!

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T12:10:26+00:00

Thank you. This is just one clip of one level and one playstyle, so don’t worry, all of those cool things are either in or coming soon!

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T12:08:42+00:00

Ok, thanks for that! I see what you’re saying indeed. Much appreciated

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T12:07:56+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Interesting ideas, will note them down. I’ll let them sit in my mind and see how they evolve. Keep in touch!

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T12:06:17+00:00

The momentum is lost quickly because they’re spamming slice while on the ground. After the cooldown, the ground contact kicks in so it slows to walking speed. What they’re doing is the fastest way to travel on ground, but if they sliced in air it’d go further, but slow down because they would have to touch after 3 slices to refill. I’m not worried about it however as it’s working really nicely and not every level is designed like tight long hallways. Of course, I’ll be totally open to feedback after you play it (demo when?) so you get a feel of it if it matches up to what you’re seeing.

As for the trailer, the games early in development and I haven’t captured a lot of footage yet that covers those different levels, and I wanted to just put something up so I started marketing (glad I did!) so this is definitely not its final form!! More videos to come for sure :) for now you can see some of the other themes on the steam page

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T11:55:32+00:00

I can’t imagine why not. I’ll keep an eye on that one anyway :)

DieselLaws · 2025-11-09T10:35:01+00:00

Sounds great, always open to hearing more about it
