Sedentary is a sit and survive game, originally made for phisnom' s toxic terror gamejam. In this game, you play as mr grumble, a shady old man, using carnivorous plants to protect himself from the governments as it tries to remove him from his home.

Since im at it, here Sedentary, a short sit and survive game i made for a gamejam where you must use cameras and mutant plants to defend yourself from the governement.

Here my usual reblog of irredeamable. My action platformer metroidvania-ish game with some souls-like inspiration and a really weird world to explore.

a lot could be said about the complex relationship between selfishness and selflessness, but overall, we developed a desire to help others because it does benefits us overall.

The final battle against Fengr and Johela.

confession, the main reason the game has 2 antagonists is so they could pair up into a dual boss in their final fight like ornstein and smough from dark souls.

Through that's technically only the last phase of the fight. (>40% health)

as the game progress, more ennemies start to come out, using a bunch of different routes you' ll have to pay attention to.

A mysterious entity named Jeff, also has taken interest with Mr grumble and will visit him at some point of the night. His exact nature and motive is unknown.

A big part of the gameplay loop is simply to search for the ennemies, which can easily camouflage into the dark background until highlighted by the flashlight, then unleash your devious plants at the right time to either kill them or at least slow them down.

Yhorm felt like a very weird adaptation of the stormruler gimmick as he really struggle to even get to you when you have it so it feels super overkill.

Storm king meanwhile was in the air, escorted by dozens of its children and attacked by unleashing a huge barrage of projectiles.

Nito destroying a bunch of trees in his war against the dragons

You play as Nito, in his endless campaign against all greenery

lets be fair, its funny even to people who did play them

that could have made for a nice payoff at the end where he confess that he made a promise to a friend, but when it came time to accomplish it, he wasnt brave enough but you helping him overcome his cowardice has finally allowed him to face his fear and do what must be done.

Thinking back, i think the main issue with siegward is that as cool as the finale can be, his storyline doesnt really tie all that much into it.

It probably would have been cooler if his issue was that he was always stalling to not do what he had to and you had to keep goating him into fighting

I guess part of it is just that bjorn doesnt get an arc per say. Hes mostly just a cool dude that helps you on your journey and has some nice connections to the story.

Sigward is kind of a fusion of sigmeyer and bjorn (from demon soul)

But the combination of the two dont really lead to a cohesive story. Hes kind of just a chill dude that help you fight a demon and which you rescue from jail once, and then he gets his big moment with yhorm.

at best, i guess i can see the firekeeper story being about someone deconstructing from a dogmatic belief after being presented with counter-evidence, but we dont really get to see that journey.

We just give her the eyes and she say she doesn't like it then let us do the dark ending.

I do wonder what people see in the firekeeper that i dont. To me, she was just the least interesting level up maiden.

Through id understand Anri as they dont have much of a story and what little is there isnt really their own as they just get sacrificed for the player to become lord of hollows.

But like yeah, a game where your player character is the game actual vilain and you are trying to undermine each other sounds really cool.

I think the closest ive seen from this was the batter from off.

Honestly i did kind of feel that way about Kris knight ever since chapter 2. Its a really cool idea and i only disliked it because it didnt really fit with how i perceived deltarune and kris story and i much prefer the similar but much more nuanced plotline we are getting since chapter 4.

it is pretty funny to imagine those two families divorcing, only to then marry each other

that does feel like something rouxls kaard would do

its a core issue where the pro players experience of the game isnt really representative of the average player`s and meanwhile, average players probably arent the type to voice their feedback too often or in much depth.

To properly respond to players, you need information that isnt easy to find.

Yeah, i think its gonna start with Caine trying to just have things go as usual but the members of the circus just wont let him anymore and the big conflict will start from there.

Honestly, wouldnt be surprised if Caine is actually on the defensive this whole episode since he really hates conflict.

I originally made this game for phisnom game jam, but it was disqualified on the very last day, so i never got the chance to see it get played.

If anyone want to play it on stream or video, that would be real nice. Its about 15 min

Small update on the sword moveset. Charging the neutral attack will now result in a multistrike. Very powerful but might be difficult to get full usage of it as can be seen here.

Its a bit more relevant when its about a multiplayer games as those need a constant flux of players to even be functional, but yeah, some of them can survive on a small player count.
