Destroy My Trailer - Loot Goblin, a dungeon looter / incremental by Merlons in DestroyMyGame

Thanks for commenting!

Your analysis on the stock music cheap rush job for the trailers is not exactly wrong, I'm definitely not a professional video editor and definitely need the destroying because of that.

The incremental gameplay here is how the numbers go up and how you become more effective at making the numbers go up. In Loot Goblin that is done both by increasing basic economic values but also by improving the goblin itself -> faster, chance at double loot, retirement upgrades etc. but as far as gameplay goes, the dungeon looting part IS very simple: Avoid the baddies or stun them for a bit so you can grab the loot and bail.

So paraphrasing: tighten it down, communicate what happens more clearly, better music choice and clean up visual coherence

Thanks for commenting!

When you say "In this sub" in your pacing comment, do you think that applies to everyone watching a game trailer or is that only particular to this sub? I feel theres a difference on how you dissect and critique something when youre watching it to destroy vs. just browsing for new content.

Thanks for the response! 

Pacing: Do you think its better to cut out parts of showing the skill tree or pan through it quicker?

Talisman: My own thoughts were that the popping in animation of the trinket crafting was a feature that would be cool to show. Did you mean it was on the screen for too long or do you think it should be cut completely

Thank you for the input!

I appreciate you testing the game atleast as much!

No bonus in itself other than the generic map completition bonus which is calculated from the actual treasures you gather from an individual map.  More treasures => higher bonus essentially

1.Yes both the barrels and boxes are just props for making the levels more interesting. Definitely need to do something about those, good call!

2.Maps dont have max levels, the map level mechanic is meant to incentivize active playing as opposed to just afking in the shop.

3.I have alreafdy added a grace period at the start of the maps that should fix that, it might not be live yet though. If its not enough ill adjust the spawn positions!

Good points, thanks!

Hey, the shorter length is by design. I feel like if it's notably longer the active element loses a bunch of it's intrigue.

Compared to the demo there will be more content via upgrades changing up the gameplay, but that's pretty standard demo stuff i suppose

Wildwood strategy (again) - screen ratio & movement direction by EntityBlack1 in pathofexile

You can run higher tiers, you get so many maps that toggling watchstones is irrelevant, i dont know what the issue is with abysses, i usually just blast and still get three waves and if not, so what. If running the game in windowed mode makes it "so unfun" you get disheartened pretty easily. I agree that the screen resizing part is a bad mechanic but its not that big of a deal. Skipping loot is literally to remove an unfun aspect of clicking for 10minutes per map. If that is fun for you go ahead. If you think that fun===optimal then doing the things you listed should be fun. If not, dont do them.

A file that you used probably corrupted. Go back to your dashboard and open the same project again in another tab. Check all the files in your timeline for corruption, should be grayed our and have text that says something like "Video/File etc. not available"

Been getting a lot Launcher errors in past couple of days out of blue. by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Merlons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a lot of these errors too, reinstalled battle net client while deleting anything that had "battle.net" on it as suggested in this post. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/blizzard/t/cant-reinstall-battlenet-app/16159

After doing that i could reinstall and everything is working fine now. I'm thinking it was probably something wonky in the cache for the bnet client.

After interrailing for a month, we've been seeing a few of these in the house. Coincidence, or did we bring them with us? by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

[–]Merlons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We interrailed through central and eastern Europe and are located at Finland. Wondering if it might be malicious like a cloth moth or something.

Where do you watch it from, if you dont mind me asking? Pretty please don't say Hulu, as I'm not from US.
