The Eternal Heart of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door -- Designing for Storytelling
Designing For is a series which looks at one specific level, character, or idea in gaming and breaks down the central theme to that element to figure out what it's, well, designing for! In this episode, we break down Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and why it manages to stay resonant to a nearly untouchable degree to so many so many years down the road: an undying and bafflingly thorough devotion to the art of storytelling.

    The lines at first made me cringe, but this game's humor is no longer fringe. While the game's fun times are made for young and old, the ideas inside are hardly bold. And although the young uns' haven't heard, about this game of bear and bird, it goes to show when all is done, all we want is to have some fun. This game is special there is no doubt, but it won't get you any clout. A return to form is long overdue, but which game studio among the few, will bring back gaming to what it was? We sit and wait with breath held because, we care not for story that lacks all cause.

      I really enjoyed it! It took me about 28 hours to get through this playthrough according to the in-game timer, though I was stopping a lot and voicing every line and checking EVERYWHERE for extra dialogue, could probably shave a solid 4 or so hours off of that if I was playing alone and 6 hours if I wasn't so intent on getting every extra bit of dialogue. This was a really good premise for a game that fulfilled it very, very strongly!

    I think the best thing about the Falcon Punch is the fact that the only time it's been majorly rebalanced... is to give Falcon the ability to turn around when he uses it, for even MORE damage. The crowd is at the edge of their seats. The opponent thinks they've caught him off guard. But then he whips right around and reveals he NEVER lost control.

    There's also an Touhou SRPG Fantasy Maiden Wars with the same design philosophy, especially from its second entry onwards. Ludicously powerful enemies mixed with ludicrously powerful protagonists. Most bosses have more than one healthbar, with the end game bosses regularly having four or five. Bosses can also have absurd abilities, like to guarantee crits (Hina), boost evasion to insane levels (Aya), *negate healing* (Yuyuko). The final boss has the abillity to reduce damage by 700 every hit, to use every skill (spirit) your team has access to, to increase graze damage, to be completely invincible for 5 turns while launching massive AoE attacks that can't be countered, to neegate all damage that is not from range 1, and finally to _get an additional turn for every teammate in her danmaku field_ effectively enabling her to attack 6+ times per turn if you're trying to capture her spell card. And all of that only in the second game out of 4 However, you also get a slew of extremely powerful player characters. For example, a ton of player characters has access to alert or sense which negates the next enemy attack. You can also do support defense to reduce damage taken. Also, those healthabrs aren't that big. They usually go down in a turn or two

    I'm sorry but the background footage of a video about intended game design featuring a glitch constantly is throwing me off. I get it's just a funny haha glitch but I feel like this is the one kind of video where you should stick with regular footage. Was having Flavio follow Mario around after chapter 5 really that important for a video about the game's immersive worlds and storytelling? I agree the game does a fantastic job making its environments feel like living, breathing worlds but from this video alone, having what is essentially a programming error on screen at all times for no reason takes me right out of it and reminds me that no, this isn't a living, breathing world. this is a program and nothing in it is real. Of course I know that but with a good piece of media it shouldn't feel like it. That makes it hard to believe what you're saying, even though I essentially agree with what you're saying throughout the video.

    Thanks for covering this. It would have been nice if Phantasy Star Online had continued the original series' story and premise. I enjoyed the MMO aspects of PSO, but there's no real story this version of Phantasy Star which, for me, was a disastrous decision and makes it practically unplayable.

    Great video, but I have a question. you’ve made so many analysis’s on donkey kong, do you think the dk characters were handled well in the Mario movie?

    • @DesigningFor
      @DesigningFor 9 днів тому

      I like how Donkey Kong was portrayed. DK's always been laid-back but ultimately rising to the occasion, with some focus on family and legacy tossed in there with his relationship to Cranky. It's a very DKC1 interpretation of Donkey Kong as a character, but I think it's a fine one and I'm a person who freaked out because he did the roll from DKC, so I was always destined to really enjoy the character. I also really like the jungle kingdom as a backdrop, as while it's not exactly my preferred interpretation of Donkey Kong Island, it does harken back to a LOT of the design principles that DKC Returns introduced and feels very much like a large-scale version of the Rare-era Kongs. Cranky I don't care for in the movie. I like his relationship with DK, I love how he animates, but he's more of a sarcastic wise guy in the film rather than an impossible to please, jaded glory-seeker. I think his role is right, I think how both Mario and DK win him over through the film is handled properly, but his point of motivation comes from an inherent self-importance rather than lashing out at everyone around him and holding utterly impossible expectations. I don't need Cranky to break the fourth wall in every appearance, but dude ain't cranky enough to be Cranky!
