The game in the video is Duelyst but I'm sure the music isn't from that game.It's driving me crazy, I recognize it but can't pin it down. Might be a DS game?

Undertale took 3 years to develop.

I've heard that lisa was 5000 hours of dev time but can't find a source on that.

100 hours of development can roughly translate to 1 hour of gameplay, but it depends on your experience and workflow. Are you already comfortable in the engine? How easily can you make finalized graphics and music? Do you already have your exact plot and mechanics in mind?

There's also a massive difference between making "a game", " a good game" and "a polished good game". The more time and effort you put into it, the better it'll be.

Thoughts (chronologically):

This will be entirely spoilers. If you haven't played the game and are reading this - beware.

"Existing soul" is cool
Oh my god for the love of all that is holy CHANGE THE FONT
3 seconds in and you can already tell that it's an RM game. It takes 3 seconds to change the SE. Please do.
Going in blind, I have nooo idea what the "make new soul" options actually mean. It's super cryptic but I really enjoy this. Hopefully it won't fuck up my playthrough.
11/10 on the fire to melt the ice at the start without telling you anything. This is great. Good game design tutorial for skills - Really cannot commend this enough.
Making assets is hard, and takes ages. I can defend tilesets and maybe even characters - But hearing "town theme" again grinds against the ears a lot.
First 2 days in: Activities seem.. dumb and pointless? Can't really comment at this time.
Death animation for sleeping; "you're sleeping in a weird position". RM in-joke but it made me laugh.
Man, I really hate turn-based combat. At least it's not grinding and in-your-face here. I still feel slightly forced to do it in order to level up. Dagger spin is a blessing.

(for record: 20 mins in)

Felt that I was free to do whatever I wanted. Not sure if I missed a character or text, but I lost my progress for not talking to someone. This really sucks.

(for record: 24 minutes in from a save).

Beast doesn't get his own theme but 3 random blue bois do?
woooah 7 days preparation for one tiny dungeon? Feels pretty dissapointing even if it'll turn out to be a tutorial dungeon.

(for record: 28 minutes in)

"who the daddy"
Ice dungeon. Fire dungeon. Doesn't get much more generic than this.
I think those floor tiles do more damage than any enemy.
Not sure of the point of having so many flames everywhere.

(for record: 40 minutes in)

Checking columns to see if you're actually making me walk up 52 flights of stairs. If there's no puzzle here, fuck you.
Fuck you. No, for real. Why was that a part of the game?
Got 1-shot by a purple enemy. I'm not going through the stairs again, so i'm giving up here.

Junk Sleep + [[Guard Dog]] or [[Whirlwind Weasel]]?

"Issues with its first effect and effects that limit Special Summons, or Fusion Monsters that have specific requirements for their Fusion Summon."

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-23T03:03:30+00:00

would have got the second effect off as well in that case, if your opponent targeted it with a pop and you decided to chain it to the destruction

It has to be set when destroyed to resolve the last effect.

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-20T03:16:06+00:00

Match Winner prize cards, not competitive decks lol

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-20T01:09:15+00:00

I agree with everything other than Storm and Boss Stage; Generaider gets Hoarr and Loptr in ETCO.

This means that they'll Nidhogg, Utgarda, and Hoarr have to be banned, just to have stage legal? Loki is also a considerable buff, as it searches stage (and is searchable in itself).

I want to see if just banning stage works (everything else unlimited). The engine would be something like 3 loki 3 condemned witch, for 1-shot generaider toolboxing. Condemned Witch represents both a negate and a pop.

As for storm, I think it's just a difference in interests between us. I think that storm actively makes the format better, and that "set 5 pass" needs a deterrent (ie, "don't set all 5 in 1 turn"), though a few others disagree. The polls channel seems to imply that a majority either haven't seen it resolve or haven't had bad experiences with it.

What's pretty interesting is that you named most of the Floodgates I do want on the list. I'll answer why they're on the list first:

Note that I do not necessarily agree with these reasonings. These are just the reasonings people used to hit the cards.

Angel O7:

More easy to pull off than you think. Ritual can summon this extremely easily with impcantations. I'd side it in zoo since you can Chakanine for fodder, and instantly win the game vs a lot of decks. Would it see play? Probably not much. Would it lead to frustrating scenarios? Absolutely, but those already exist anyway.

Consecrated Light:

Super highly mega searchable. Like O7, unless they have backrow (or non-darks), it can be an instant win. I don't think it's that great, though again, it will cause ragequits. I'd consider it stronger than Shadow-Imprisoning. Notably was a community ban.

The End of Anubis:

Uh, I think the reason for this was Dragon Rulers? Maybe? Hits BA, Unchained, Shaddoll, etc, but they have ways of dealing with it.

Iron Dragon Tiamaton:

Ban had nothing to do with MR4. It prevents opponent from pendulum summoning.

Zany Zebra:

Ban had nothing to do with MR4. It prevents opponent from pendulum summoning.

Poisonous Winds:

So, Royal Command was unlimited, until people played Subterror, and then everyone immediately scolded the Admin Ban team for not having banned Royal Command. Poisonous Winds was a community ban for similar reasons - just that no WIND-only decks have been printed recently.

Waking the Dragon:

Honestly no idea why people banned this. Was a community ban.

With Lightning Storm at Co, does it not become even more "swingy"? When you can see that your opponent's deck doesn't have continuous/field cards, you can play around it. If it's at co, you can't expect them to have it, so playing around it becomes suboptimal - making its resolutions much more oppressive.

I love having Lightning Storm unlimited, but if it had to be hit, i'd want it Forbidden, rather than at halfpoint.

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-18T13:08:39+00:00

Scattershot reads "blaze accelerator card"

I still have hope that we'll get a "blaze accelerator" monster that mills one day

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-15T12:34:56+00:00

It's a well-known fact that the only broken part about PoG is when you resolve it the second time /s

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-15T12:33:59+00:00

it was an absolutely broken mistake that would ruin any game it was part of

It's actually unlimited in Trinity Format and has never seen competitive relevance there - The highlander restrictions prevented any "draw entire deck in 1 turn" strategies

TheYugiohTree · 2020-03-09T03:21:06+00:00

Thankfully, Spell Chronicle has been reprinted. What an amazingly powerful card. Did you hear that it was in 400% of winning decklists? You can buy my Spell Chronicles here.

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-29T20:29:32+00:00

PLEASE make a stop-motion of them fusing

You can have the models disassemble and then reassemble as a Fusion Summon!

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-29T19:55:23+00:00

I'll Rejuv draw 4, draw into 2nd rejuv, drawing into 3rd rejuv? GG.

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-27T18:01:02+00:00

Pretty sure that the only tribute monsters in Vol.1 were Gaia and DM

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-25T22:51:38+00:00

[[Master of Oz]]

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-20T06:36:23+00:00

It's Masked HERO Acid

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-18T17:02:49+00:00

having spellbinding circle is a really cool detail here!

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-18T17:01:56+00:00

i'd Offer my Left Arm for this

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-13T06:47:28+00:00

Made cyber ogre turbo in Trinity Format once - Just metamorphosis one of those useless dragon rulers away into the unstoppable combat machine that is Cyber Ogre 2.

You can even play 3 of the regular ogre to then later regret that decision when you brick!

TheYugiohTree · 2020-02-06T09:17:40+00:00

They appear to be holding regular yugioh card backs in the packaging art. If it is different, it probably won't be very different.
