up until now these "fun facts" have been pretty spoiler-free, showing just brush tools/decor/general things. from here on I will be showing small details specific to unlocked abilities and later-game areas. it'll be spoiler-light but I thought I should warn people.
took a few days off from posting these because collecting all the resources takes time ;p a few new ones today to make up! if you press jump while swimming on a wall, you get a slight upward boost of speed. mashing jump increases your climbing speed significantly.pic.twitter.com/X3VxouSl2f
if you stand still for a short amount of time after swimming, the player character does a little doggy shakepic.twitter.com/AKtLZjCiAa
there are different insects in various regions of the map with unique behaviors. the 'sparrow-bugs' in the west fly away when startled, but you can sneak under them by swimming in paint.pic.twitter.com/WyyBW7ft2C
when you leave paint on water, the colors slowly distort and move around.pic.twitter.com/1YARTggEnA
paint in a windy area, and the paint will slowly streak and spread with the direction of the wind.pic.twitter.com/la3ITxDdD6
paint geysers typically run out of paint and shrink after a short time. but this interaction was annoying in windy areas, so they never run out of paint there.pic.twitter.com/0nQRNK2DoG
bouncing on a mushroom, getting thrown by a bomb explosion, and jumping all send the player the same distance, using the same sound and animation. we did this so that the player would be used to the jump ability before they can actually use it.pic.twitter.com/3IN3ihmirs
after finding every brush power, the player's paint-swimming speed is about 30% faster, making back-tracking extra speedy in the postgame if they're painted a lotpic.twitter.com/oLWaLMwavb
after landing from the air, the player character shakes and can't move for a short amount of time. it's nearly imperceptible from small heights, but gets longer from higher elevations.pic.twitter.com/FHZitkyvRk
you can "cancel" the landing delay by jumping on or just before the frame when you land, allowing the player to "chain" jumps to go faster than usual.pic.twitter.com/McQOa4oqX0
bonus data: -pizza's walk speed is 10px/frame -velocity while jumping is about 12.6 px/frame -paint swim speed is 14, then 18 after beating all trials -swimming has the longest acceleration by far, so it's not always the most optimal movement compared to jumping or walking
the player character will always "snap" to the nearest, highest-elevation area they can reach before landing from the air; this assists players trying to make a difficult jump.pic.twitter.com/5zlxJhH7h7
in general, the "z axis" and "jumping" in this game is so duct-taped together it's not even funny. I put a lot of effort into making it feel generous and friendly in a game that totally should not have had it. I'm glad nobody has complained about it (yet).
the player can jump in and out of their paint while swimming, dolphin-style. this skill is only used in one screen of the game to reach a gift in a side-room.pic.twitter.com/GnUAqgiIP1
when using the fire brush style, your paint makes a trail of fire. and if you place down a campfire, and drag your brush through it, you can achieve the same effect. these both can be used to cheat fire-based puzzles in a certain area.pic.twitter.com/jzSV6DBEpo
there's no limit to how many colors can be carried by the paint vines at a time. because of that you can get this really cool interaction with them using the rainbow brush, which constantly cycles colors.pic.twitter.com/g5Yr3yVoE8
tomorrow starts the final phase of this thread, moving on to details that are more story or lategame related. I will still aim to minimize spoilers and I'll probably attach less media, but this is a warning. many of my favorite details will be in this category ;p
at a certain point, the player is asked their favorite color. after that, their paint is always that color in action sequences. all other colors in those scenes are changed to complement the player's color choice.pic.twitter.com/qPnQUQP9Mr
when you draw the slice shop logo with clementine, the markings she makes are randomly generated for each player, so every player has a different base to start frompic.twitter.com/iBiS9ZgwGJ
if you call your parents for a hint after beating the game, they'll give you hints on finding and completing every sidequest you haven't finished yet. the game essentially contains a 100% walkthrough of itselfpic.twitter.com/PlCdIS3cKc
queen drosera always turns her head to look at the brush if you paint near her.pic.twitter.com/P9M6wZMC9N
in the options menu you can change 'reaction speed' to slow down action sequences. for most bosses this slows attacks, but for the 5th 'musical paint' boss, the ENTIRE sequence plays in slow-motion, including music, producing a sort of vaporwave remix.pic.twitter.com/4pB8ZfEfCT
you can do the 4 wielder trials in any order, but brunch canyon is easily the most emotionally intense. we made it harder to find because we thought it worked better if you spend more time with chicory in other areas beforehand. (1/2)pic.twitter.com/RiSOn5AAd9
so: pizza and chicory share a hug after completing brunch canyon, but ONLY if it isn't your first trial. if you do the canyon first, then instead they hug before the 'final challenge.' so all players get the same number of hugs, but in different places. (2/2)
this has been a fun run of daily design details! I'm finally at the end of the spreadsheet I put together before the game came out 2 months ago. there are a few other notes I might share sometime but some are extra spoilery or don't really fit the theme of this thread.
I am pretty proud of this game and team. I think we did a good job. and there are lots of details to appreciate in it that I'd never cover here, because we mostly expect players to notice them when they play.
