Traversal mechanics (Submitted)

Single tap = backdash, double tap = backflip?

I am surprised no one here mentioned the magnes and redire combo in order of ecclesia

That would definitely be far more useful than that "Cubus" Glyph in Order of Ecclesia.

Your idea kinda reminds me of the "Magnet Beam" from the very first Mega Man game, too.

I REALLY want a gravity boots type of function. I always always always loved it. SOTN's still looked the coolest so maybe they can top the design of that version. Hope they at least try doing that idea again.

Definitely love the enemy avoiding idea. So atleast we can keep the super jump/transformations for traversal and still have a use for this ability. 

Going as my understanding of the plaform ability though is that you are able to make one at any time after a jump correct with a limit of one or two? I am imagining the cloud power up in Mario Galaxy 2 that allowed you to make 3 platforms in succession. Now with that understanding with just one platform alone and the double jump ability you can effectively quadruple jump. Leaving some rooms to be just a long vertical stretch of nothing, no platforms, and such in your way. This is what I mean by empty vertical space. 

There will be less platforming challenges because of this added safety feature and when challenges do present it self platforms will be spaced a great distance.

Watch some gameplay of alice madness returns and this shows how giving a player too much vertical freedom early on can adversely affect the level design of a video game. That game has a ton of empty space to make room for the ability to jump 3 times in the air after the initial jump. 

This platform making ability seems like an early game upgrade and in doing so the level design should reflect on that, otherwise it would give the player too much freedom in the exploration of the castle. Metroidvania types gradually give the player upgrades that allow further exploration of the world in this case the castle. This ability early on coupled with the double jump may destroy that sense of progression. Possible remedy to this would just place the double jump ability later in the game. 

TL;DR I like the idea but the abilities should be spaced out in a way that the metroidvania style isn't destroyed. So if you gain this ability early on then the double jump ability should be a late game upgrade so the platforming doesn't consist of a bunch of empty space in between. 

Actually I got most of my information on podcasts and interviews from Igarashi during the bloodstained campaign, people asking him howhis thought process was on video games. 

Another source of information is this one youtuber called Matthewmatosis he makes compelling arguments on some of the most famous/infamous games in the industry and although he agrees to a certain extent that these games are good/bad he breaks down the game design as a whole for each title and sees the merits they all have as well as the flaws they have. I like how he was able to explain ill feelings I had about the titles that I played that he critiqued and made me realize just how ingenius some titles are in how they are planned and built. 

I will reply to your other topic in that post.

Who knows?  Miriam herself might have something similar as an ability.

Certainly. 

Ooh!

Me likey! (*Golem voice*)
