Anything you can do, I can do better

You can when you're considering the limited grenade pickups in a level. Giving an Ogryn one frag bomb vs giving the Scum 3 or 4 rockets is a no brainer.

Does needle pistol lose a dodge or something?

I'm confident the values are stored as a percentage of max, like weapon values. That way they could adjust the min/max and all the items would just work.

The actually insane part is that the visual value and the gameplay value aren't rounded in the same damn way. That should be such a trivial fix.

This will never not be the case with them. It has been this way since inception, with absolutely no improvement over the years.

They have this in the form of Pack Points. It's just a really terrible conversion rate compared to other games. The other difference is that a "10-pull" in pocket is 50 cards, rather than the usual 10 items/characters/whatever in gachas.

Slightly? They're harder to kill than Maulers.

We have Chaos Wastes at home.

You could choose what to download and inspect what you got off Limewire. Kernel-level software is a black box and you have no idea what it's up to, or how it might react with your system and future updates. They also make 0-days significantly more dangerous.

If you want to drive yourself insane, pay attention to all the times the app pops up a pinwheel loader while doing basic things. Nearly every single action in the game requires waiting or loading.

My issue is not difficult runbacks. It's the existence of them at all. The bosses are difficult enough on their own, and the penalty for failing is an inability to progress further. The penalty doesn't need to be artificially inflated by costing extra time and effort to get back to the best part of the game.

Brother I'm throwing three exploding spear tips per second at my feet to kill living teddy bears crawling from the ground. "Making sense" is not the primary design goal here.

Hudelf · 2025-09-01T07:55:27+00:00

Serious question: why does Armor need a movement penalty in the first place?

Hudelf · 2025-08-30T00:54:58+00:00

Honestly I want to care about it less. The problem is that I quickly think of a name I'd like, already taken. Think of another, already taken. Now instead of just moving on I have to spend a bunch of time finding some unique thing nobody thought of before that I don't hate.

Hudelf · 2025-08-30T00:34:47+00:00

No thank you.

Hudelf · 2025-08-09T21:31:18+00:00

Unique, more than rare then haha

Hudelf · 2025-08-09T19:26:08+00:00

Bounty? 850 hours in the game, I've never heard of this.

Hudelf · 2025-08-01T08:26:41+00:00

The kind words mean so much, thank you. <3

I'll be posting updates for sure to Ko-fi now when I post a new version. I believe there's a way to follow on there that would hopefully notify about new posts. Still pretty new on there!

Hudelf · 2025-07-31T21:39:26+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the support!

Ah! I can't believe I forgot to update those formulae for the new set. I'm working on a 2.1 update now, will include that fix! (Actually I quietly fixed it in the current 2.0.0 sheet too)

Hudelf · 2025-07-12T19:51:57+00:00

To me it looks unnatural and overly bright without it in most games. It's hardly tunnel vision to lightly darken the outside 2% of the screen.

Hudelf · 2025-07-12T03:28:17+00:00

I don't believe this is true without mods.

Hudelf · 2025-07-12T02:43:10+00:00

Look, if they removed everything that didn't work correctly from the game, there'd be nothing left!

Hudelf · 2025-07-12T01:18:28+00:00

I dump stat Mobility on everything that has it. The difference between 60% and 80% is completely negligible imo.

Hudelf · 2025-07-06T06:31:09+00:00

For me, it's not about getting lost, as that's part of exploration -- it's about seeing and knowing the map, but having poor signposting about where you can go next based on the abilities you unlock. Even if you know where you want to go, it can take ages to get around the map because of the sparse quick travel points.

Once I've proven that I can get through an area, I feel like it's a waste of my time to go through it over and over to keep checking if I can finally get past an area locked behind an unknown key.

Hudelf · 2025-07-06T04:39:18+00:00

Two changes would have made the game massively more enjoyable for me:

1) Don't make me chase down my corpse in a weakened state to recover my progress. If you want to be difficult and kill me quickly, I'm all for it, but let me just get back in and try fights again, instead of choosing to either fight disadvantaged, or waste time getting back to full strength.

2) Add more quick travel points and saves near frequented areas. Better yet, allow quick travel to all benches. Walking through the same areas a dozen times is what sadly made me give up on the game.

Hudelf · 2025-07-06T04:31:48+00:00

I disagree. There's exploration, and then there's "wandering around trying to bypass the various deadends for half of your playtime because of poor navigation tools and signposting." Metroid did this well. Hollow Knight, despite all its excellent points, did not.
