It's not just Buddy's uncles.

I a lot of the guys dress like that. Probably to make the viewer more uncomfortable.

One of the Kickstarter rewards for the game was a t-shirt with two squares at about nipple level. It's safe to say it's probably a thing.

As a visual joke everyone's nipples hanging out never fails to make me laugh. It's like no one knows how to sew or make garments so they just make do with whatever.

Yeah I don't think I explicitly mentioned it but the red flash means someone has gone into withdrawal, usually Brad. It can happen literally anytime outside of battle and especially seems to happen during cutscenes. Case in point look at right before I fight Charmy in Ep.3.

Yknow I never really tried using joy on party members that already don't have an addiction. I'm not sure if they get the full effect out of it, or if it ruins them by giving them withdrawal later on. We don't really have enough joy to experiment with that regardless and I'd hate to gently caress up a good character by crippling them that way. If anyone else wants to try it let us know how it goes.

I found a new party member once and noticed the Joy Withdrawal icon next to their poo poo in the status screen. Never used them. Can't even remember who it was. I may have imagined it.

I finished the game yesterday.

Yes, one hit is enough to hook them, and some npcs come pre-hooked.

From what I recall, there was supposed to be some code so that Rage had a chance of showing up with Joy addiction. The code was bugged, however, so Rage never starts as an addict. Surprising, considering the sheer number of headaches he's got to give himself.

I think the idea was to randomise between two sets of party members as joy addicts, but it either wasn't implemented or doesn't work, so it's always the same set.

:siren: HUGE EPILEPSY WARNING UNTIL 1 MINUTE INTO THIS VIDEO :siren:



Additional video footage was generously provided by Fragglar, editing was done by me. Special guest voice by some other guy, who knows.

As you might be able to tell, putting this episode together took me quite a while. I've kinda been working on it for some time. Really glad Fragglar approached me to help make my idea a reality. Area 2 is pretty big so the next few episodes are gonna be a bit longer.

I was pretty shocked when I tried Percy, too. Honestly, though, if I were to pick the most powerful party, he'd probably be on it. Having both a fire attack and healing makes him very useful.

The head guy (whose name is Buzzo but you wouldn't know that otherwise) wrecks your party entirely by himself. He is completely unbeatable and hits for literally 100k hp per hit.

Also I realize the way I encoded this the intro ends up being a big colorful blob so I'll be reuploading it tonight. Until that's ready I'll keep the previous one up there. Sorry for the inconvenience, you'd think I'd know how to better incorporate real life footage into things since I do it so much :v:

You're moving along at a pretty good clip, which is nice since it means I can share my own blind playthrough results. The cave where you meet Buzzo for the 2nd time is where Terry met his end on my run. Sorry, Terr-Bear. I cared about you enough to spend a couple extra minutes collecting the items I skipped at the beginning, after the choice. Just... not enough to give up my arm. So is the sacrifice randomly determined or do they just pick whoever is after Brad in the party lineup?

I tried using Fardy too, but never hit anything with the truck and gave up after a couple battles. But I did make him my top pick for Russian Roulette since he didn't seem all that attached to his continued existence. He won all 3 rounds. Cheer up, guy!

I gave up Fardy rather than lose my arm, and to be honest I actually felt really bad about it. Somehow managed to not lose anyone to russian roulette though, have no idea how.
I also really like how every party member is workable, assuming a lack of joy addiction - I'm kind of annoyed that the code doesn't work because that would really make for cool second playthroughs- even if some are blatantly in the top tier (though interestingly, several of them were supposed to be in the set of possible joy addicts). Really gives a lot of flexibility to the cast and it makes the whole perma death thing work instead of being cheap.

Crap.
Party members sure are cheap in this game, huh? That Russian Roulette seems like a great opportunity to offload some characters that you're not using anymore.

Also, jeez, Fardy! I know you're hitting them with a truck and all, but calm down with the 3000+ damage crits!

Ok, changed the links and uploaded a more YT friendly version. Things are a bit less blob like now.

Also the intro is supposed to be W2D in his own little EDM world, before running out of Joy. Sorry I thought it would kinda speak for itself.

Edit: Fun fact, I bought the space helmet seen in the video and sent it to Fragglar back in April. That's how long I've been planning this dumb intro. Here have some gifs :shittydog:

Laser Agar is actually based on a streamer named Fraser Agar, whom the creator of this game is a fan of, so much so that he even made a special demo to play for their show.
