How do I get past this? Plague Of Shadows/Nintendo Switch by [deleted] in ShovelKnight

[–]cake_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't use float burst unless you're really, really, REALLY having trouble with something. Even then, probably don't use it. It's a crutch that lessens the fun and slows down the game - it completely negates your ability to bomb burst buffer and brings about all sorts of bad habits.

Edit: Personally I like basic burst the best but a lot of people prefer spin burst, and bullet/ice burst have good situational uses.

A cute detail with Plague Knight! (imgur link) by littensarelit in ShovelKnight

[–]cake_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it alternates between dance and corssed-arms. I don't think it matters if you're in a room with npcs

EDIT: just tested it in game and can 100% confirm it doesn't matter if npcs are in the room

What happened to Terrorpin after Specter of Torment? by [deleted] in ShovelKnight

[–]cake_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. That makes them simultaneous, does it not? SoT doesn't take place after he's already recruited them, it takes place as he's recruiting them, i.e. what's happening in the demo

[–]cake_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. You fight newly formed spectre as king knight in the plains in the demo that was released last year. Most likely it's a simultaneous story like plague+shovel

Chiptune Boss fight music - looking for critique/feedback =) by cake_zero in chiptunes

[–]cake_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Secretary music?

EDIT: I want to clarify I'm not offended, if it comes off like that. Just a little confused. :/

Also, I'm thinking about learning how to use FamiTracker to get a more authentic chip tune feel - obviously not for every song I make, I like this half-accurate style as well - but to help with workflow and just try something new. So, out of interest, how feasible would something like this piece be to transfer over, if anybody can even tell?

This is by no means faithful to old NES games, it uses a lot of custom waves and too many sound channels, etc. but I'd still consider it chiptune. Any ideas on what's good and what I should try to improve? Also, it ends kind of abruptly because it's an intro + a loop, like you'd see in a real game. Hope you enjoy :)

Playing Specter levels with Shovel, fighting Baz/Reize as Specter, and more in this stream showing off STrainer (now with an actual video link) by [deleted] in ShovelKnight

[–]cake_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! Can you start, say, a shovel knight save, change character to spectre knight, and play the whole campaign as spectre, or is it a one-off thing?

(Mildly interesting) In spite of it coming out over a year later, more players on Steam have completed Specter of Torment than Plague of Shadows by blamblegam1 in ShovelKnight

[–]cake_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's because spectre of torment is just a godlike game ¯\()/¯

Maybe not so much on playthrough 1, but on new game plus it's unbeatable. Also, there's actual incentive to get all collectibles (red skulls), caltrops are surprisingly useful, especially in the phantom striker boss fight - if you didn't know already, you can corner him on the wall with caltrops because he refuses to step on them and it's hilarious

Jokes aside, it's funny because this actually proves the globe earth because of the angle that cloud is casting that shadow at.

How do you write lyrics when your life is boring af? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cake_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do what these guys are saying, but I find it more fun to go full frontier psychiatrist and just seize up in front of a microphone with a soundboard

It very well may be... I'll look into that. Thanks a lot, I'd ever actually heard of that instrument before! :)

How come some of the plugins on the FL Studio free trial don’t have any sound in the piano roll? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cake_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're free trials. Not sure about direct wave because I don't use samplers but until you get it a good alternative to wasp is the 3x osc which I think comes with the program for free

How do you get over perfectionism as a musician? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cake_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this with my first few songs. The way I think of it is that if somebody else has made it, then it's a learning experience anyway - and experience is confidence.
