I decided it would be better to finish Zero before playing more of Kiwami.

Also I've determined that No Man's Sky is Harvest Moon

Is This an Auto-Runner?

To describe Super Meat Boy Forever as an auto-runner would be a disservice. It�s like saying that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a game about a swordsman. Meat Boy / Bandage Girl do always run, but there is so much more to the game than running. They can attack enemies, they can dash through the air, there are tons of levels, there are bosses, there are secrets, and there is a surprising amount of difficulty that doesn�t feel unfair. It�s everything you would expect a Super Meat Boy sequel to be. Super Meat Boy Forever is a Super Meat Boy game that you can play anywhere on pretty much any device that�s powerful enough to run it!

What is Dynamically Constructed? Why Not Say Procedurally Generated?

�Procedurally generated� is an overused term that applies to a wide range of things. While the levels are randomly generated, they aren�t truly random and their creation is heavily based on criteria we�ve designed and tested. Each level consists of hundreds of carefully designed �chunks� that are placed together to create a level. Chunks are selected randomly from pools that are categorized by difficulty by us. Each time you beat a level, an increased difficulty criteria is used to generate the harder version of that level. Also, levels need to have a certain cadence to them so they don�t feel like just random stuff thrown at you. We�ve worked on a system that allows us to give a criteria of difficulty and pacing that makes the levels randomly, but still within the confines of what we want the levels to be presented as. Oh and also, it sounds way cooler than �procedurally generated�.

Just call it a Procedurally Generated Auton-Runner, you pompous dolts.

"Procedural generation is an overused term", proceeds to exactly define procedural generation

So what you're saying is that the games you make are Procedurally Hand-Drawn Paperlikes

Our Autorunner game is a special snowflake, we categorize it as a Self-Moving Dasher.

Our game is not an auto-runner. Yes, our characters do always run automatically, but,

No other procedurally generated game uses chunks of levels, they're using...randomized pixels or some poo poo, it's all gibberish I think, I don't know but definitely not what our game does.

Olive!: Mar 16, 2015; It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

You see, what differs about the procedure through which our levels are generated-- wait gently caress

To describe Super Meat Boy Forever as an auto-runner would be like saying that The Witcher 3 is an RPG. Wait, cut!

The Colonel: Jun 8, 2013; I commute by bike!

our game is different. rather than randomly generated levels, it uses unique mechanics where it constructs levels out of randomly selected chunks, like 20xx but nothing like 20xx becuase it's new and revolutionary

when you think about it, Mario is a procedurally generated auto runner, its just that the procedure is inside miyamoto-san's brain and you're a baby if you let go of the run button
