00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,880
and steel series hey guys this is a game I knew about before I got to packs and

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,040
wasn't sure that they were going to be here but once I luckily walked P across

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,400
their Booth I had to check it out this is cloudberry Kingdom in all of its

5
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:21,560
insanity this game is known for the incredible amounts of difficulty and I

6
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:27,039
was wondering what else you could add to this picture uh well it's randomly

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,599
generated 2D platformer so every time you play a level it's completely brand

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,120
new you'll never see it again unless you choose to save it which another story um

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,360
really so it's just an awesome platformer with infinite levels so

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:44,000
infinite replayability you can never get bard of it that's a really good way of

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,039
saying it randomly randomly generated levels in a platformer is a really

12
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:50,480
interesting idea but I think you guys pulled it off pretty well now the thing

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,719
I brought up earlier about difficulty can you expand more on that how you can

14
00:00:52,199 --> 00:00:59,960
push it to the Limit sure uh we spent about 2 years creating an AI That's able

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:05,560
to design these levels and through throughout the process we realize that

16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,479
we can really crank this up so what's

17
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,479
great about our AI it's flexibility I mean you can create some of the easiest

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,280
levels you've seen in your life I mean you know like a 5-year-old can play it

19
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,840
versus you know you can crank it up to like some super I don't know like if

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,720
Bruce Lee was a gamer he could do it you know something I mean so it's really

21
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:26,280
flexible in terms of what it can do and it can be the easiest thing you've ever

22
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:30,240
seen or the hardest thing you've ever seen that's awesome because when you can

23
00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:33,399
crank up the ability to the ability not that then when you can H up the

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,479
difficulty to that level you can get some pretty awesome playthroughs I've

25
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:41,399
already seen some videos recorded on YouTube of people beating certain levels

26
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:43,560
and it's just nuts it's fun to see that

27
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:46,880
um with this amount of AI building levels I I already know the answer to

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,840
this but is it possible for them to make one that's actually impossible it is

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,600
possible to make it impossible but when that happens the computer automatically

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,920
deletes the level every level that you will actually experience within the game

31
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,399
is provable by the computer and if you don't believe it you actually you can

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,960
buy a power up in the game it's five coins whatever it is and you can just

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,280
watch the computer run through the level for you just as proof there you go so if

34
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:15,519
you're getting really pissed off because you can't beat a level it is your fault

35
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,599
it is not the game's fault how do you get these gold coins you speak of oh

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,720
they're just strewn throughout the level um if you can just take a look they're

37
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:28,680
they're these uh blue gems and there's like anywhere from 12 to 20 per level

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,480
cool so you can you can basically just gather these things and then can show

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:36,120
you how to go through levels so you can beat them more easily if you're stuck yeah exactly we have three different

40
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,239
powerups that you can use by spending those coins you collect there's watch

41
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,720
the computer play it there's a second one that shows a dotted line path

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,519
through that is the best path through and the third one is slow motion where

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,800
you play it half speed okay that half speed one sounds a little bit powerful

44
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,000
um any more you can add about the game is there a storyline or is there anything actually going on why is he

45
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:59,080
going through these levels sure uh we've got three main modes to the game there's

46
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,480
there's the story mode which you know it feels like every platformer it needs it

47
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:09,400
it absolutely needs it uh the gener the general story of the game is that Bob is

48
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,560
very similar to a classic platform hero that we know of except a more realistic

49
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,400
take on it you know he's been rescuing the princess over and over and over and

50
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,519
he's he's sick of it and you can see that he's clearly jaded doesn't want to

51
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:24,640
be here but he he's just kind of going through the motions and then we've got

52
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,720
arcade mode was a a more competitive experience it's you know it's we're

53
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,360
going for high scores and we have online leaderboards for that and then we've got

54
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:35,120
a free play mode where it lets you Tinker with the levels personally you

55
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,720
get to adjust every variable that the AI uses to create your own levels now

56
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:41,760
previously you said you could save levels can you can you create these

57
00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:46,200
levels save them and then give them to someone else by any Jance yes on the on

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,400
the PC when you save a level it'll give you a seed that you can save and share

59
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:52,840
with your friends perfect that's great now the arcade mode that you're

60
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:56,680
mentioning is what I'm expecting most people are really going to be doing probably play through the single player

61
00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,760
get used to it play the arcade mode so that's really cool that you included that I like the leaderboards I like all

62
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:04,959
that kind of stuff how would someone go about acquiring this game uh you can

63
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,920
acquire this game through Xbox Live arcade PlayStation Network Wii U shop or

64
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,319
steam wow that's that's a lot of different platforms we like to be

65
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:17,160
flexible that makes sense that's good all right uh if you guys liked our
