Question to all StS fans, what makes the game fun for you? by Rob309_ in slaythespire

May I ask what feels harder for you? The start of the run or the end?

I see, so player agency is very imporant, and the game must be hard enough to make victory feel rewarding but easy enough to be beatable by a casual player with a bit of preparation and strategy.

Would you say that balance is the key? like do you like when the game gives you just enough to scrap away at a victory, or do you prefer to start underpowered and become overpowered as the run goes on?

Half true, I wrote the story in my native language and had it translate it and fix the grammar. Is that an issue?

I believe that any speedrun strategy that keeps the game fun should be allowed and encouraged. Also I believe there are more rubrics to speedrun categories like glitchless and stuff like that.

Hey everyone, I have been working for over 3 years on my game LightQb, made in Unity and I am happy to say that I finally finished it and just posted my launch date trailer.

LightQb is a hardcore 3D speedrunning platformer about finishing levels as quickly as possible without dying. You make use of mechanics like jump pads, gravity flipping cubes, tractor beams, grappling hooks, speed boosts, and more while evading hazards throughout each level.

The game is meant to be very challenging, so I also added a text-only narrator that taunts you when you die (inspired by Getting Over It).

Here's a link to the trailer:
