Torrannor posted:I'm not sure I can take this much cuteness overload. A beemerang? Amazing! The characters look so adorable. I'll be sure to follow this.  It's really not the type of game I'm interested in mechanically and I wouldn't want to play it, but this specific iteration seems cute as hell.

Rhinoceros beetles have wings and can fly, though? I demand realism in this game about talking four-legged bugs fighting with boomerangs and using blueberries as currency!

MP only, why do an LP if not to show off as much as possible at the expense of safety and common sense?

So geysers thaw out after a while if you freeze them, which makes sense, and frozen enemies in combat thaw out if you hit them. This implies that the other things you freeze don't thaw out, is that right? It doesn't really matter for ice cubes but I have this image of Leif freezing some poor bug so the party can use it as a ladder or dump it on a switch and then they just walk off and leave it there

LiefKatano posted:Disabling the healing abilities of old save crystals is an... interesting design decision. I figure either it's a pat on the back - look, you're so much stronger now, you don't need these any more! - or a statement that your team are destroying natural resources and actually exploring is bad. Or just a way to make backtracking less mindless than it usually is in games. I do like the party interactions and general dynamic. Two trolls and a straight man shouldn't really work, but it does. And regardless of what Vi says, all three of them are nerds.

I sympathise with Leif. I also get crabbier and more sarcastic when I'm hungry.Explopyro posted:

Vi seems to have the most expressive sprite of the team, she gets a lot of distinct facial expressions compared to straight-man Kabbu and snarky-troll Leif. Leif still gets the best dialogue though  Explopyro posted:As the length of this introduction might suggest, Stratos and Delilah are going to be recurring characters, helping us out with information over the course of the game. That looks like a really cute game, shame they scrapped it. (Bug-sized lizards exist, they could have kept Stratos' original design.) Explopyro posted:... Berry Juice apparently has alcohol in it. Or something that intoxicates insects, anyway. This doesn't seem like it's going to end well. This is definitely a thing, wasps and other bugs quite often get drunk feeding on rotting/fermenting fruit. Not unusual to see drunk wasps flying very erratically in early autumn. Explopyro posted:
No, Leif, they're right. You absolutely do need a robe. (someone draw this please if it doesn't actually exist in-game) Explopyro posted:And from there it picks up with the conversation about having all the offerings (or "we've got one, hope the other one will be as much fun to get" if you did it in the other order). This is a pretty cute alternative, and honestly, I like that they put this in instead of just fixing the eating contest so the player always wins. So what happens when there's no protagonist team at the festival? Presumably it's common for different teams to win each contest. Do they both get to go to the summit with their offerings?

What nice robes.
He looks so magical!
You're RIGHT! Leif, with a sorcerer robe!

Aria being a miniboss seems a bit gratuitous, honestly. There's been nothing about Venus to indicate anything martial about the faith. She seems to be a harvest goddess, why would she care about fighting? Kabbu certainly seems taken by surprise and he's clearly a follower to some extent. Also: vilkacis posted:

Such a video-game way of saying 'you pick up your enemy's corpse and carry it as rations'. It's not like that's unusual for insects. Torrannor posted:The bees are clearly more industrialized and technologically advanced than the other bugs. I wonder where that comes from. Are these non-floppy disk tiny human data storage disks? Or did the bees make those themselves, reverse engineering human technology? It seems like there are no humans around, even though there are lots of human "artifacts". I've encountered several fantasy novels that use the concept of beehive structure creating rudimentary computers.

Explopyro posted:As far as I can tell, this thing is just straight up an Eastern-style water dragon? (Albeit a bug-sized one.) It doesn't seem to be based on any particular form of wildlife, unlike most of the other enemies in this game. It feels a bit incongruous, honestly. I think it's meant to be a lugworm. Long tideline-dwelling worm with bristles along the middle, lives in a U-shaped burrow with head and tail at each end.

"Sorry, Neville." Explopyro posted:
Nobody knows for sure but the main theories are either that it was unlucky to tempt fate by wishing someone good luck so you'd wish misfortune on them instead, or that it was a complicated Yiddish-German pun - the Yiddish hatsloche un broche, 'success and blessing', became the German Hals- und Beinbruch, 'neck and leg (bone) break'.

Hm, OP made a mistake and linked to the wrong music here, this is the actual soundtrack for this area. Also of course the gang don't like machines that spit fire, they're all 2x weak to it. 4x in Leif's case.
