Nimso | Shallow Pond

Thank you!

Do you have parts of your game that ended up being tackled way later than expected - even though they’re core to the experience?

Still not 100% done with the waterfall, but I’m glad it’s finally in.

Thank you, cool that you spotted it 😊. Well, those gamers you describe need to change their minds, of course 😁😉

Thanks for noticing that! 😊

My confession: I abused #trailertuesday with non-trailer content more than once. Here's an actual trailer to make up for it! 😉

Looking back at this older video, once you strip away all the polish, it really comes down to one thing in the end: pure gameplay satisfaction 🙂

Exactly ❤️😊

Thanks for the great input! Just had to share another waterfall moment - too fun not to 😊.
And yes, I’m listening ❤️
Your feedback has already made the game so much better!

Good! ❤️

You're a cute diver. You swim super fast. And you can cast some kind of water magic.
Now there's a big waterfall in front of you. What do you do? How do you intact with it?

Let me know your thoughts! 🙂

Can you spot Shallow Pond? 🙃

Gotcha now, thanks for the clarifications!

That's also a great idea, having some gameplay impact thought that ❤️. I like that!

I'll have to look into Sonic Project 6 to see that in detail, thanks for mentioning it. Having a satisfying reward system is a great lever for added satisfaction 👍

Exactly, thanks for appreciating that! ❤️

Shallow Pond has more of a cozy vibe, and the reward feel should be there, already by just executing nice movement combinations and reaching a flow state. If something is added on top, even slightly, it should still have a good impact on top of that flow state.

Thank you, Cody. Nice observations, and thanks for the compliment 🙂
