It's okay, I was trying to bait you into saying "but it's not a 3d platformer" whereupon I would say, "But OP said Plok 64"

I would then continue this fashion ignoring the fact a Plok 64 didn't come out, hoping to gather people's disdain as I continued to compare it to Super Mario 64.

>> No.3967172

>>3967098

No, and that's where Plok fails. It doesn't have the physics or movement options that other platformers have, especially Mario. It plays like Mega Man with a shitty weapon.

Not the 2d version, the 3d version.

Supposedly the devs almost got Plok onto the virtual console, but Nintendo ended communication with them at the last minute.

The devs have said that they don't know who owns the copyright to the original game, but surely that wouldn't apply here because the publisher was Nintendo of Europe.

Zed Two was a tiny studio, it wouldn't have worked no matter how many fans cried out for it. Their only N64 release was Wetrix, and they had to beg a friend at Ocean to make the N64 version in their spare time.

>>3967717

Is it that well-designed, though? Outside of the Akrillic levels, it's a straightforward and linear platformer. The limb gimmick is rarely used in a clever way, and in the Fleapit it's discarded entirely in favor of awful vehicle sections. The fleas, who are supposed to be the game's biggest foes, are a pain in the ass to kill.

I don't think the game's bad, but I don't know why anyone would play it when the SNES has dozens of better platformers.

I think you're probably more cut out for vidyadev than you realize. The impression I got was that you were trying to make a game that reasonably requires a team, all by yourself. I cannot think of a single 3d platformer that was 1MA'd. But your Plok sequel got me hype every time there was something new posted. If you were to work on something just a little smaller in scope, I'd follow the shit out of your progress.

I never stuck with anything for too long. The game I got furthest in was a game that's like Brick Breaker/Breakout except the ball can go off literally any side and you have paddles on all four sides that you have to control. I finally have some time now, so I'm going to try again. Thinking of a platformer where you can't kill enemies directly but you have a number of tools with which to make them fall prey to the level's various traps.

It wasn't the lack of scope, it was a failure of imagination. and my own incompetence. It was a 1MA, but it could have been made in 2 years by a more competent dev who had a clear vision. I made it 3D not because I had an idea for making Plok work in 3D, but because everyone else was making 2D.

> I cannot think of a single 3d platformer that was 1MA'd.

There's Blockhead's Blunder and a Crash clone someone on /agdg/ was making.

>Thinking of a platformer where you can't kill enemies directly but you have a number of tools with which to make them fall prey to the level's various traps.

First one sounds like Warlords for the Atari 2600, but with Pong instead of Breakout. second game sounds like it has potential. You should give it a shot.

I know this seems weird but you should stop posting like this. Clearly you have some kind of heart if you had it in you to just give up and admit what you were doing. But my point is that pointless baiting like this only manages to lower the quality of discussion here and make the board shittier in general. I know being an annoying asshole is typical behavior here but forreal if you want this to be a place that you can stand to look at, just stop. This is a PSA for anyone who wastes time baiting for no reason. For your own mental health please.

No, I'll never stop, nor will I stop watching the great classics like vent harassments and what not.

I like bothering people, it's funny to me, if and when people freak out over things so ridiculously mundane and unimportant as video games or any equally unimportant subject, I grin with glee because the absurdity is too much to handle.

How bout I propose the reverse, stop caring about people who post like that, stop being so invested in something so minuscule in the grand scheme that you make yourself look like a man child, arguing online over it.
