    Really cool additions, but I think the random unlock animation should be like CS:GO's, where it just slows down with time. It feels a lot more "thrilling" in my opinion because you're always guessing where it's gonna land and can feel really rewarding

      @happy_havok ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Doesn't necessarily have to be like cs:go, but i do think it needs to be cleaner. Right now it kinda just lazily moves around with no rhyme or reason, and was honestly really visually confusing when I was watching it. It needs to have logic behind what's going on that is obvious to the player to give them a sense of satisfaction.
      CS:GO and similar games just have a really clean and tight way of doing this that would be a good addition imo, and I don't even like CS GO lol

  • @supansup

    I have a couple suggestion for the game. You should create skins for the slime friend too. For example, the reward for scoring 5 goals on peter would be a soccer ball skin for your slime, and defeating each boss will give you a skin, as well as one for the slime friend. I think that this will allow for more customization. I also think that the slime friend could use with a bit of a buff, and maybe be upgradable, because right now, he seems more like a gimmick than a feature. I can't remember if he already is upgradable, but if not, he definitely should be. You should also add a boss replay feature to the game. For example, after you beat a boss, you can go over to your computer and play a "video game" of the battle so that you can rematch and practice it. You could also add difficulty settings to this simulation. P.S love the game, been following since devlog 7.

    • @BenBonk
      @BenBonk  ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Hey, thanks for all the feedback. I've actually already made a bunch of changes to the slime pet which will be showcased in the next devlog I believe. He now does have skins, which are unlocked by purchasing specific upgrades for him, and I gave him some big buffs, and more exciting upgrades. So just stay tuned for that. I've also seen many other people request boss replays, so that might be something I look into in the future.

    • @devashishreddy
      @devashishreddy ปีที่แล้ว +2

      you can give different abilities to the slime pet so it can help the player EX: after defeating the mech boss the slime pet can shoot bullets or slime balls this will be a great idea

  • @pailchair
    @pailchair ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You should make a secret Unlockable weapon. You can get it by interacting with a 5 year old npc, and at the end he gives you a big gun. Great idea

  • @CeloCogumeloArchive
    @CeloCogumeloArchive ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have an suggestion, what if there is a way to rent a weapon, like you rent a weapon from someone and it allows you to choose whatever weapon you want depending on the price, however, if you die, you lose that weapon. It would be something useful in case you want a specifc weapon without having to rely on RNG.
    There is something like this in the game "Legend of Zelda: A link between worlds".

    Another great video! It's hard to believe slimekeep started all the way back in 2020, the production quality is only going up it seems.
    I think it would be nice if you could get weapon a different way as well as gambling, but I don't know what you have planned. :)

  • @DevonIsBetter_1298
    @DevonIsBetter_1298 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I feel like it would be cool to add an NPC like a Boss Hunter to the game. His purpose would be for when you find him he'll task you with quests for defeating bosses. And after you defeat the boss he'll give you the corresponding skin, some money, and possibly a gun that can only be unlocked by completing his quests. It'll feel alot smother so the items don't just randomly pop up unlocked, and it will give the players motivation to actually beat the bosses and look forward to unlocking new content. You could also progress this idea very good, by making some of the really good guns only unlockable after defeating one of the hardest/last bosses. This allows you to make OP guns that can't be abused early on, but will still bring variety and new content to the game.

    I like the adition of the notes however, early on you said you didn't know what to do with the soccer's reward. So what if doing small tasks with npcs like the soccer mini game would give a new note as a reward.

  • @MasterMan445
    @MasterMan445 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think you should make some tier 3 weapons and they could only be unlocked if the player succesfully compleates slime room challanges, for example in God Of War IV you can defeat Valkyreis and got rewards, but these fights are so hard that only a few player can actally do it, and I would like to see something similar in Slime Keep. Obviously you can defeat a Valkyrie once, and you can't even enter thier secret room unless you progressed in the story for a certain point. I think it could add a lot to the overall game and give some content to the players who already compleated the story.

    • @BenBonk
      @BenBonk  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah cool idea. That could be something fun to add more replayability, I'll just have to see if its in the game's scope for now.

  • @charr420
    @charr420 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don't think the minigame is very fun. It's just two quick time events. Also, i see a few issues:
    1. Inside the minigame, Peter becomes very small. He is bigger that the goal in the main game.
    2. The goal is too low.
    3. Why are there like, 3 houses, all of which are placed in holes 50 miles away from each other?

    • @BenBonk
