A cryptic puzzle game about being a bad coder. Also ducks. 路 By
There have been a lot of comments about the difficulty of certain things in the game. A lot have been valid, but some I wonder if they are just because people haven't figured out the correct solution, and I have to draw the line, since the game is designed to be difficult.
This particular criticism I don't agree with. The viewing angle is quite generous, and you DO have to look at the duck with the camera, that's the solution (keep holding forward and just turn the camera to face the duck) - you can see below, I'm being intentionally sloppy with the camera and I still make it easily.
You can also quite easily stay floating indefinitely if you just keep tapping forwards and aiming the camera at the duck.
I believe this one ain't too difficult. Let me know if you still disagree after seeing this (fair enough if you do!) I'm interested to know :)
Thanks for the feedback!
it feels like the main issue stems from the "acceptable viewing angle" being a constant value, regardless of distance; it's extremely generous at a distance, but close up it becomes obnoxiously finnicky. if you try to follow close to the duck (like I did at first), you'll keep falling for seemingly no reason. here's a little diagram courtesy of my incredible paint skills:
Interesting! I didn't really anticipate people trying to get too close to the duck so I will give this some thought!
Love the diagram.
Yes, Harmony is a patching lib. I've modded other games before, like Gorilla Tag and Anyland. In comparison a normal 3d game is a piece of cake :wink:
Basically anything written in .NET languages is decompilable (which for linux is fun, as the only stable interface is a VSCode plugin). Modding even works on linux, which is a plus.
