Do people actually care about balance in single player games?

Absolutely, lets say a hypothetical game has 4 different player characters. One effortlessly slices through everything and the other three take an hour to kill every enemy. Theres no reason not to play as the first guy and it makes the game feel like it has a lot of wasted potential.

This is different from a Roguelike like Sil or Crawl, where certain character types are weaker than others for challenge purposes. Even though a Felid Fighter is way worse than a Minotaur Beserker, theyre all viable and the weaker combinations are weaker intentionally so better players can challenge themselves.

Sure there is. If I like the other characters more than Mr. Superstrong then of course I'll use one of the weaker characters.

Some games having suboptimal choices is good because they allow the player to set the difficulty in a more organic way, Some games are poo poo for having choices because I am literally a truck pump.

There is a number of gun's graphics now, both hud and ingame, and depending on how far we are willing to go (infinity), there'll be a lot of different looking gun's. There already is a lot.

Yeah, it changes the appearance. All different gun's types display as different sprites in X114JAM9's hands and on the HUD. Additionally, the material they're made of (and potentially the modifying affixes) change the color. He just didn't include pics because there's a lot of debug stuff we don't want you to see.

I recall this sort of problem happening before, are you playing the PC or Mac version?

I'll see if I can get the ToG overlords to spill their gut's on this matter.

ToG overlord's have spoken.

It is a problem with the SuperSound gamemaker extension, apparently you'll get rid of the problem if you restart your machine.

This is all the corporate rear end in a top hat's would tell me.


Good luck.

Well, since no one from the team is here to talk about it... Chef has been in intensive care for the past 3 months, there is little hope of recovery. Doctors say he might have a terminal case.... of n00bitis.

Yeah, we don't completely understand why that SuperSound.dll problem is happening, but it happens with a lot of Game Maker games, including Hotline Miami and the only solution so far seems to be restarting your computer. Sorry!

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm over the mono now. The biggest problem is that our sleep cycles are perpetually hosed. I'll wake up just as bhroom goes to bed, bort goes to bed 2 hours later and then it's just me working on stuff alone for 8 hours at like 3:00 AM. Then when they get back up, I'm tired and go to bed. But I got up at 7:00 AM today so hopefully my sleep schedule is fixed for the next few weeks. It's why we haven't streamed in a while (+ they're out of town, getting back this week). I think I'm naturally inclined to be up at night.
