Anyways I read what Studio posted about the permashrink glitch and now I've changed my mind and feel like it should be patched out.

By the way, I finally ran a full eSports speedrun with permashrink turned on to actually see how fast it is, and while it wasn't exactly a perfect run, it was quite a bit easier than a normal run and I got a really good time, about 10-20 seconds off my PB.

I don't think the fastest possible run will be able to exploit it in any way but if you're planning to fix it for ILs and everything else you should probably just fix it for speedruns as well, imo

I mean mostly just because it's not going to cause any huge harm to the WR but it could flood the leaderboards with more intermediate times from people who have decent runs with it on, because a decent run is a lot more attainable now at a lower skill level

Heads up we're going to push a build today (bar anything unforseen) that'll patch the powerup glitch out, as well as include some other minor fixes. Since we'd have to patch it for every other mode anyway it seems cleaner this way, plus the general consensus seems to be leaning towards patching. Thanks again for all the thoughts!

Edit: build is up!

Also, thanks to Studio, we found one weird bug that would lock people at 99.7% if you bought a specific hat in a weird specific order. There's a hotfix up that'll fix this (although you may have to enter and exit a level for it to fully get to 100%).

Video game development.

Just "beat" the game tonight and sitting around 53% I think. I also realized that I've yet to buy any new powerups because I guess I thought like with jump and boating they'd be part of the story. Welp!

Everything in this game is so funny and charming and great but I'm so, so bad at it. :smith: In the first few missions I was blowing up several times between each checkpoint before I finally inched forward enough to move to the next checkpoint, and now that the first chain of missions you start out with has dried up I can barely get a block or two away from the garage before blowing up and getting sent back there.

I've killed poor Giorgio so many times. :rip:

I'm assuming mountains = third area

Nope, I use Blastoise's path w/r/t powerup routing.

Only get the inflatiboat after the docks segment, before the Memorial mission. Do the parking garage with no shrink, death warp to the triathalon, then swap back to the shrink afterwards for the rest of the run.

Being able to shrink through the fairground area and through the red car gauntlet, the entire mountain climb and ski lodge area more than makes up the time it takes to jump over the ice floes. Blastoise's video is basically the path I take, there's some small variations but you can pour over my Twitch archive if you really want

DeliciousBees could probably explain this better but I'll take a stab. An article went out sometime last year about where the name "No Goblin" came from. It came from a colleague of theirs referring to very, very common video game tropes as "goblins". When someone would try to run an idea past him like a cover-based shooter or a retro-styled side-scrolling platformer, he would reply "No. No goblins." They took this as their company name because they want to try to make games that are different and driven by fresh ideas.

Of course, people took this the wrong way. Instead of interpreting it as "There's already a ton of great games coming out with these tried-and-true mechanics so we want to try new things so we don't get lost in the crowd," like a rational person, they took it as an attack on popular games-- probably imagining him saying "Man, those games suck. My game ideas are way better. gently caress, I'm gonna make my company name an insult about how lovely those mainstream games are. That'll show 'em."

Long story short, Dan Teasdale is a pretentious rear end in a top hat and you shouldn't support his company.

Apparently, the article in question was on the PA Report (and hence been nuked from the internet) and made the whole "this is an insult to popular games and Dan Teasdale is a pretentious rear end in a top hat" argument. Reason #453,287 why Ben Kuchera shouldn't have a job in the games press.

When we set a price on Steam, we set it in USD and then Valve handles converting it into the dozens of currencies they support. Sometimes it means it's cheaper in some regions (Russia), sometimes - like in your case - it's more.

How does the Humble Store pricing look for Europe?
