Primal Planet dev sees no problem with the fact that 100%ing your character in his 8 hour indie metroidvania would take 400 hours of grinding

its not about completionism at all. it would take 50 hours to fully upgrade health alone. that is retarded

tedious grind is always bad. you need to kill 250 t-rexes to level your health to max. there are only 10 in the game
Anonymous No.718995353 >>718995559 >>719008786
Does each skill level do anything substantial or is it just percentage increases per level? Regardless, unless there's a secret boss, enemy level scaling or some end-game content that requires you to be at max level, then I don't see the problem. The developer simply put the skill max level somrwhere high for people to get as high as they can as they go through the game depending on their playstyle.

The complainer sounds like a faggot, but he's right. What's the point of a mechanic that your game is never going to use? What's the point of a cap so high that reaching it requires playtime several dozens of times longer than your actual game? It's just pointless. The dev is just as autistic if he can't see why doing it this way makes no sense. If you want limits in your game, make it a limit that people can actually reach within the scope of the game. Otherwise there's just no point.

This only makes sense if you have autism, and believe that the cap is there to be hit. What is the issue about the game offering more skill options than you can reasonably pick in the game?

What exactly harms your experience if the cap is set at 100 instead of 5?

My "critique" is that shit game design is the one that doesn't account for proper balancing. This makes sense to everyone that isn't a filthy cock sucking nigger. So I can see why it wouldn't make sense to you. Don't worry about it bud, nobody is going to touch your precious developers, you can continue to cockslober them ad-nauseum past the point of all reason.
Funny you keep going on about "you aren't owed" considering the only one expecting they're owed something is you. Everyone is just pointing out the obvious, you're the only one arguing against reason instead of a mechanic. While everyone else is explaining why bad design is a problem, you're attacking the people instead of the point. I don't know why your father felt it appropriate to abandon you in your infancy and deprive you of the ability to learn how to act like a fucking man, but I'm not, nor do I have interest in being him, so go to someone else to show you how not to be a bitch, you ameboid inbred mouth breathing cunt.

Seems more that the skill caps are way too high than experience rates being too low. I know nothing about the game, but the dev could probably cut the skill caps by 2/3 and the game wouldn't be missing anything. The dev just chooses not to, and while that's a dumb decision, it's theirs to make. It's not needed for anything, you're not missing out on anything, so just don't do it.

Perfect case of player entitlement. There are tons of cases where that accusation is thrown around just to delegitimize reasonable player complaints, but here, the charge is just. The idea that you should be able to max everything out in one playthrough stems from a desire to have everything. No real hurdles, no real limitations, just give me everything. Literal babies.

How is not being able to max out your skills "shit game design"?

You feel like you are owed completionist status for playing the game, and you get visibly upset when you realise what you actually have to do for it.

A normal person would go "that's nuts, I'm not doing that, I'll go have fun playing something else", but you believe you are OWED 100% completion because you played the game, and your autism creates a mental block because you now consider the game unfair for not letting you do what you thought you were going to be able to do. It's purely a failing with you. Your brain is so fucked that you think you need to do everything in a game, and your brain is so fucked that you get mad when you can't. Normal people don't act like this.

I have literally never maxed out/100% a game since Harry Potter 3 on gameboy. I dont give a shit about completionism. I just wanna be able to upgrade my oxygen without basically softlocking my character because he didn't use those perk points on double jump
Anonymous No.718997845 >>718998171 >>719001491
All this arguing and no one even showed off the skill tree.
Turns out the skills are, outside of a small handful of necessary one-time upgrades, just making stats go up.
You get the double jump, dash, underwater breathing and inventory space upgrades for just a small handful of skill points and you're good.
This is the equivalent of grinding to Level 99 in Final Fantasy or some other RPG even though you can beat it easily at 30. Almost every FF has a trick to hit max level relatively quick, but no one complains that the game can be beaten well below the max, nor about a grind that doesn't get you to the maximum in a "reasonable" amount of time.

So you're upset that you used all your skill points on stupid shit you didn't need, and you ignored the critical upgrades that anyone with half a brain would take first like double jump?

This is a more reasonable complaint, but ultimately the fault still lies with you. The dev shouldn't have to plan for spergs deciding "I'm going to max out my oxygen first before I get any real upgrades", normal people would prioritise the important stuff first over the fucking minor 20% buffs that the game can easily be beaten without using.

I don't understand why it's an issue that players beat the game while only investing a couple of points into health or o2, then.

Clearly the game is designed so you can beat it without anything but the critical upgrades, which you weren't retarded enough to ignore, so I can't grasp your complaint. You feel like it's a "waste" to have skills most people won't use? They're minor improvement so if you take lots of damage you can get a few more health points, or if you get lost underwater you can hold your breath longer, it's player choice. If the game was cripplingly difficult and expected you to grind for 400 hours to get enough stat gains to beat it, I could understand your complaint.

Many such cases. If you want it that badly, just cheat in a 10x exp gain modifier or something desu.
This sort of thing is only ever an issue when you can't feasibly dump everything into one stat/skill/what-have-you and max it out through normal gameplay. Since you evidently can with other skills to spare, this is a nothingburger.

Yeah, and? That's exactly how build variety works. One playthrough you club shit to death, next playthrough you stealth your way through, next one after that you make some uber fuck-you meta build, next one you try to avoid certain mechanics entirely, next one after that you try to make the dumbest combo possible that you can still cheese the game with, next one after that you upgrade nothing whatsoever and rawdog it; hell, maybe after that, you could even undergo that 400-hour grind and try godmoding everything. Anyone can play however they want as many times as they want to, which is good when you're aiming for a wide playerbase. It's baffling that I have to explain this.

It sounds like players are not supposed to be able to max out a skill. This is an incredibly easy fix.
>remove the skill cap so all skills are infinite
or
>hide the fact that there is a skill cap
I don't know a single thing about this game or even what game it is, but if players are having a problem with not being able to cap out and you don't want them to be able to cap out, simply remove the cap (or the perception of one) and the problem is solved.
Now it sound like there might be another issue that may need to be addressed and that is the rate at which you level up vs the benefits gained from doing so. This is also an easy fix.
>make leveling up more impactful with larger bonuses/abilities
or
>increase the xp players receive/adjust the xp needed to level up so that players are hitting levels faster and feel like they are making progress
Additionally you can introduce soft caps to skills either by making the xp needed to level up exponential or by making the bonuses from leveling up diminish exponentially. At a certain point it either becomes improbable or not worth the grind to level up that skill any more.

You both are fucking retarded and a waste of air.

It doesn't look like there's even any achievement for maxing your skills so it's not like you need to do it for 100% completion. The theoretical limit being arbitrarily high doesn't mean you're intended to reach it, especially since it sounds like this game doesn't have the content to justify such a grind.

Early on it seems designed so you can easily get a point on many skills, but 2 or more points get drastocally more expensive. Like it takes 1 point for one level, then 3 for the next one.
That said I saved for the double jump which costs 6 and got it before the intro was over. Like 30 minutes in.

Ironic isn't it. I think the argument here is why is it there in the first place (with the absurdity of the lengths you have to get it in the first place, to back that up), rather than contemplating actually doing it.

A good amount of people buy games with sole intention to 100% them, especially small indie games like whatever OP is talking about. Casting as wide of a net as possible without detracting from your intended game experience. If the Dev makes that net smaller, even for OP, he's missing a sale. If he didn't want sales, the game would be free otherwise.
The Dev sounds like a retard and OP can always just not do the achievement. Anyone new looking into this game and seeing a theoretically impossible achievement is going to be deterred away.
