Not mine specifically, but I've seen some outrageous things like this in other servers 😭😭

But what if I spam your public Discord with 5 paragraphs and embeds to my latest tech pitch? 🤡

Something like that! It's a bit of an oddball blend of 3d platforming with Myst sprinkled on top! 😄

Thank you so much! I hope I can keep delivering on those feelings 😁

Thank you for the kind words! I've definitely made sure that I'm not accidentally making the same game as others! 😂

I could definitely make some double chocolate cookies by changing 1 color in the texture if I want lol. But I think I might make these basically red coins, where there's an amount in a level, and you're rewarded for getting all of them. But if you don't accept cookies, you'll get donuts of course 😂

If your brand or IP consists of 2 contrasting elements, I think it strengthens it a ton. I've made it a certainty that I will be the only game about these particular ideas. If other people want to make a pants game, it's clear what route they will take. I wanted to be sure I did not take that route.

I don't think there is necessarily anything WRONG with Frogger eating bugs, or Donkey Kong collecting bananas, but the feel is different, and too many devs fall back on this as a crutch. For everything people don't love about Yooka-Laylee, I think that the pagies and entering books were memorable.

I'm making a game about pants running around a computer. I'm often told things like "You should collect buttons!" or "Okay but what do pants have to do with computers?" as if anybody gives the same scrutiny to established properties. Again, Mario fights a turtle by consuming flowers to shoot fire.

They made Mario a plumber because they made pipes, that's it. Let things just be what they are, stop going "What would a plumber collect?" because that is not how the pros do it. Mario isn't constantly grabbing wrenches and bouncing off of plungers, and if he did, it would not land in the same way.
