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

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

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.400
their Booth I had to check it out this is cloudberry Kingdom in all of its

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:21.560
insanity this game is known for the incredible amounts of difficulty and I

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:27.039
was wondering what else you could add to this picture uh well it's randomly

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.599
generated 2D platformer so every time you play a level it's completely brand

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

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:39.360
really so it's just an awesome platformer with infinite levels so

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:44.000
infinite replayability you can never get bard of it that's a really good way of

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.039
saying it randomly randomly generated levels in a platformer is a really

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.480
interesting idea but I think you guys pulled it off pretty well now the thing

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:54.719
I brought up earlier about difficulty can you expand more on that how you can

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

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:05.560
to design these levels and through throughout the process we realize that

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.479
we can really crank this up so what's

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:10.479
great about our AI it's flexibility I mean you can create some of the easiest

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

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

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

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

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.240
seen or the hardest thing you've ever seen that's awesome because when you can

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:33.399
crank up the ability to the ability not that then when you can H up the

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.479
difficulty to that level you can get some pretty awesome playthroughs I've

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:41.399
already seen some videos recorded on YouTube of people beating certain levels

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:43.560
and it's just nuts it's fun to see that

00:01:41.399 --> 00:01:46.880
um with this amount of AI building levels I I already know the answer to

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.840
this but is it possible for them to make one that's actually impossible it is

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:55.600
possible to make it impossible but when that happens the computer automatically

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.920
deletes the level every level that you will actually experience within the game

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:03.399
is provable by the computer and if you don't believe it you actually you can

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:31.480
cool so you can you can basically just gather these things and then can show

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

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.239
powerups that you can use by spending those coins you collect there's watch

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.720
the computer play it there's a second one that shows a dotted line path

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:47.519
through that is the best path through and the third one is slow motion where

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.800
you play it half speed okay that half speed one sounds a little bit powerful

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

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

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.480
there's the story mode which you know it feels like every platformer it needs it

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

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.560
very similar to a classic platform hero that we know of except a more realistic

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

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

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

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:27.720
arcade mode was a a more competitive experience it's you know it's we're

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:31.360
going for high scores and we have online leaderboards for that and then we've got

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:35.120
a free play mode where it lets you Tinker with the levels personally you

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:38.720
get to adjust every variable that the AI uses to create your own levels now

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.760
previously you said you could save levels can you can you create these

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

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

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.840
with your friends perfect that's great now the arcade mode that you're

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

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

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:04.959
that kind of stuff how would someone go about acquiring this game uh you can

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.920
acquire this game through Xbox Live arcade PlayStation Network Wii U shop or

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.319
steam wow that's that's a lot of different platforms we like to be

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:17.160
flexible that makes sense that's good all right uh if you guys liked our
