@theKingPilot Luck and Magnet are the top 2 for staying alive. The in-run upgrade for extra post-hit invulnerability frames is also helpful. But mainly just getting better at platform positioning with double jumps/dash. There’s an upgrade that gives dash invulnerability that’s also great

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

This. It's just how bullet-heaven/survivors-likes work, but the platforming helps make the beginning more active and interesting. Use that time to hunt for loot caches and elite enemies!

@cagyjan1 @M0N0GLYPH the beginning is always kinda slow, but when you power-up and get tougher enemies, the beauty of the game is seen

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@theKingPilot Oh that’s early game. I can’t add much more to the late game without trivializing the difficulty but I can try making the first few levels have increased health drops. Less enemies should mean they’re easier to avoid but it also means less chance of drops

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@kidvemon Ok, well at least its not the game, thanks. If it was, I'd want to work on a fix

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@theKingPilot @kidvemon Haha especially if you haven't played this kind of game before, it *is* one where you develop the skills and get better even without the upgrades. But yeah, I got to lv35 last night with less than half the upgrades active, so skill cap goes high. https://t.co/DLCkMkkVrA

@OneHitKillDev I could tell your logo was custom! That definitely helps you stand out.

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@OneHitKillDev A bit. I think we can do much better. Part of the problem is when every box art and description is AI generated, nothing stands out for what it is - all looks the same

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@OneHitKillDev Being intentional is the goal, no matter the tool

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

Blocking things out the old fashioned way

Takes more time but it jogs the mind and makes me excited instead of frustrated. Don't be afraid to go slow.

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@CosmicEntityTV Yeah animations are the biggest hurdle in AI game dev right now

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

I'll say it again for the people in the back: Slop isn't a tool, it's a mindset

[MONOGLYPH @M0N0GLYPH]

@asokofliverpool No matter what you create or what tools you use to make it, act with intention, bring vision, and hold the bar high. These principles apply universally to any work worth people's time. People can tell when love and care was put into something. Slop isn't a tool, it's a mindset.

It's still so delightful to see all those wisps cookin'

Watching Kevin Pereira (@attack) build in @spawn, visiting his amazing tiki party den, and proudly displayed is his first and only trophy - from SHELLRUNNER 💚

What a wild timeline.
