The biggest issue with Don’t Crawl‘s online components that needed tackling was connectivity. “Because doing online multiplayer is hard (even harder to do right).” Unsurprisingly, then, it was the online multiplayer that the pair worked on the most when making the bigger version of Don’t Crawl.
That passion meant it was quite easy for them to pull off the aesthetic-it was the online multiplayer they struggled with, especially when trying to hack it together during the chaos of a game jam. “You don’t usually see online multiplayer games made for jams,” Dyachenko said. The game has a similar retro look and sound. “THE SCALE OF THE GAME WE WANTED TO ACHIEVE MADE CREATING IT A NIGHTMARE”īelorusov and Dyachenko’s love of Spelunky and retro platformers can easily be seen in Don’t Crawl. As Dyachenko explained “ Spelunky in general sets high standards for what a game of it’s kind can be, and very few games can stand line with it.”

This mod allowed two people to play cooperativley. Dyachenko is such a big fan of Spelunky he actually created a mod for the original release of the game. Belorusov is a big fan of the popular platformer and even though he is only 18-years-old he described a feeling of “nostalgia” for old-school platformers, like the Megaman series. That’s the basic idea behind Don’t Crawl: a group of players trying to stop one player who is attempting to reach the end of the level. Think Super Mario World (1990) but the Goombas are being controlled by other players over the internet.Īs I spoke to Belorusov and Dyachenko it emerged that they both love Spelunky (2008). So, as one player tries to jump across a gap, others can try to stop them. But other players take on the role of the enemies and traps in the world. Like a traditional platformer, you can play as the main character-the one who runs and jumps through the level, avoiding any hazards in their way. “Seems like I wasn’t wrong!” Dyachenko said.ĭont’ Crawl offers two ways to play. It sounded like it could be a good idea for a game. And when he pitched the idea to Dyachenko and asked for his help, Dyachenko agreed. He wanted to see how the multiplayer elements from Crawlwould work in a 2D platformer. “Ideas that spring to mind at 4AM when waking up for a game jam, are rarely truly original,” Belorusov explained when I asked him where the idea for Don’t Crawl came from. One of the latest game jam ideas turned retail release is Don’t Crawl, from Nick Belorusov and Vadim Dyachenko And yet, it’s how many fantastic videogames are born, like Surgeon Simulator (2013), SUPERHOT, and Nuclear Throne (2015). A game jam is an intense and challenging way to create a game. Designers and artists gather for a short period of time, like a weekend, then work non-stop to create something playable in that limited time frame. You can no longer kill yourself by spawning allies as Rebel in a sandstorm.Game jams are filled with sleepless nights. You can now hold your charge with charge weapons that don't charge infinitely.Ī bit more range for the eraser, might not be enough still. Robot's Technician ultra now only works on merged weapons if both of the weapons are considered early drops. "Chasm" bullets now create a small plasma explosion when hitting a wall.Įyes Ultra D pellets now have a chance to disappear every frame, but Big Rads are now also converted into a shield. I made a hotfix 3.1 to fix a Brain Capacity crash and fix a few other minor things. Gamemode screen reworked into a loadout screen that has crowns too.Ī handful of new weapons, including a new type of weapon: charged weapons! There are currently 2 available charged weapons. New enemies: a new IDPD unit + its elite counterpart, the first unique enemy for the 7-2 alternate area, and fire salamanders! Heavy Heart has been added, and Rabbit Paw no longer increases weapon drops. Work in progress.įish Ultra C and Eyes Ultra D have been completely reworked.
Introducing level modifiers! I'm not so sure what to call these, but basically levels have a chance to have a special - effect or mini-area applied to them. If this kind of post is not welcome here tell me and I won't do it again.

Hey, I just released Chaos 3.0, and I think it's a major enough update to post about it on the main subreddit.
