If the mercenary makes the gameplay easier in the shortrun (which seems to be the fundamental idea), he cannot help but take EXP away from a core character who may be important in the long run. The key fact about this is that, as the player, I don't know whether or not the core characters will be n...

My point is that if you can go through the entire game without ever touching the mercenaries, a good number of players will do so. I know this, but I would have this intentional to give different ways of playing. My idea comes from the perspective that a more experienced player will possibly prefer...

I'm not going to spend my hard-earned GP to gimp my party in the long run unless there's a significant bonus. Your party won't get gimped, only one character out of four gets temporarily replaced, and by the time the merc leaves, your other three characters will have been better developed to help t...

That aside, yep! Jeigans for hire.
Make them closer to the actual Jeigan, at least the Shadow Dragon version.

This also has the potential to be incredibly frustrating. I'll have to think of a clever way to inform the player.
Usually it's when a player realizes "wait, this isn't working" is enough.

Luckily, a handicap is already in place by simply allowing another character on board; he will recieve a portion of EXP. Experience is pretty useless on an overpowered character, and that's potential experience you could have given to your permanent party to get them ready for the next chapter. If ...

-Are they your style? Can you continue with this style for every last walkabout sprite?
-Are you okay with your own style?
The real question is: Are others okay with the style?

I just beat Uncharted 2. Fun, challenging game. Anyone that says Nathan Drake is supposed to be a "normal guy" is wrong and probably hasn't played the game. More importantly, I beat Akalabeth , an extremely bare bones, but very historically interesting game. It's surprisingly fun and has a...

Yeah, the platforming stages were the best part of Galaxy.

I haven't played the original Punch Out in awhile, but IIRC there are certain times that he uses the sucker punch. I know that after you knock him down he starts relying on uppercuts a lot.

That must be why Youtube switched over to a Like/Dislike system. I wonder if the same would work here?
It's because a lot of paid YouTube users (the high profile channels and such) kept asking their viewers to rate the video 5 stars.

X-Play gave L'Sol Nocturnal Tears a 2 out of 5, which I think is quite accurate, so I wouldn't discredit the system just yet!

I haven't read every argument in detail, but if your game doesn't manage to qualify for the contest, that doesn't mean that it's hopeless to get publicity. You can always just make a separate thread to advertise the update to your game, and the game can still get voted on separate from the contest v...

You can press Ctrl + or Ctrl - to change your frame rate, but I haven't convinced any developer to make a customizable default frame rate in Custom or plotscripting.

And why does he look like he'll be one of the best units in the game?
Because he is. :)
