So, closing thoughts on Super Metroid Redesign now I’ve completed it on stream!
- The physics really are too heavy for most players going in, since it leaves little time to respond to mistakes during platforming, which wastes a lot of time.
- Mistakes too often lead to killing the player outright, which leads to trial by error, notably Norfair heat run (infamously the 25 minute escape when your abilities get taken away).
- Standard individual ammo packs don’t feel very rewarding since they give so little. It’s made up by having variants that give you more, but early on tends to make players want to hoard ammo even if it would make more sense to at least use missiles.
- Water physics combined with physics in general make it really difficult to navigate until acquiring Gravity Suit.
- Fighting Draygon in a room filled with quicksand is mean.
- Avoiding MB2’s ketchup attack is really difficult thanks to physics.
- Some of the optional items are (almost) impossible to get since they require extremely tight timing on IBJ which the hack never teaches you.

chaoticlawWe survived the month successfully, but it wasn’t exactly great, scraping by with points from research and a few easy missions.
Thus ends the first season of X-COM… for now. Maybe we’ll see what happens next in a while from now.

chaoticlawLive now on Twitch, with more X-COM: Terror From the Deep. I think the organisation may be in trouble and we may not be around for much longer…

chaoticlawTurns out that digging too deep draws out the troglodyte swarm and a blind cave ogre.
Somehow we survived that encounter without too many casualties.
In any case, we pretty much achieved all our goals:
- We did get some gemstones and stuff
- We ended up building a barracks and established a militia to train against future attacks
- We built a wall to block off the caverns (for now)
- We did make a bunch of cool stuff from sand into green glass (because clear glass is wayyyyyy more involved)
We did also have to build a hospital and a crypt, which should be useful in the future.

chaoticlaw- dig a bit deeper to find gemstones and stuff.
- try to establish zones for our fort's military
- build some basic defence if someone attacks us
- maybe make some nicer things to trade

chaoticlawWe made pretty decent progress (with some help from a map)!
There wasn’t as much nonsense as there was compared to other sections of Redesign, aside from not so well telegraphed locations of items and places to explore.
Still have the 25 missile doors which are silly, and regular missile packs only giving you 2 missiles is very silly this late in the game.
There’s also the case of the Tourian Guardians which are basically the hack’s way of saying ‘go clean up’, which is fine if they weren’t gated behind bosses with no connection?
Next week I pick up we should be ready to clean up and take on Redesign’s Tourian, which is an adventure in of itself lmao

chaoticlawThe game continues to hurt my organisation, but hey, I went on my first mission where I didn’t get killed so that was pretty good.
Doesn’t make up for the ship attack mission that really put our points in the negative lmao

chaoticlawTonight’s stream is gonna be some Dwarf Fortress, because:
- It’s a good game
- I keep forgetting the controls and I am determined to remember them this time
- Because I think it’ll be mostly chill and I need some chill since work has been a bit much this week!
Stream scheduled for 21:00 (Sydney time, aka UTC+1000)! See ya then!

chaoticlawSometimes I do simple sketches, but it feels good to add a bit of colour to them.
I’ve updated my user icon to use this one on the Fediverse.

chaoticlaw@Umby Glad you like it!
I made it by setting up a redirect directive in my Caddyfile on /stream/schedule/. That returns a HTTP 302 Found and redirecting to the public iCal (ics) URL.
Hopefully it’s easy for your setup?

chaoticlawI like making stuff for the stream more than I do actually streaming…
I wonder if I should stream the bit where I make the things for the stream lmao
