[1.5a|U|Te|YAAM] Good doggy!
« on: September 10, 2022, 13:50 »

So this was a little different.  I was chatting with Sylph the other day, and we got the idea to each do a stream of Jupiter Hell at the same time with the same difficulty, class, and random seed, sort of as a test to see how our gameplay styles compare.  My streaming software bugged out partway through and split the resulting recording into three videos, but it looks like I didn't lose any footage, and you can find them here:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

And Sylph's perspective is here.

The game took about 6 hours overall, partly because we both play slowly, and partly because we were chatting via voice chat the whole time, and may have distracted each other.  :)

The highlight of the run was discovering the secret pet kerberos, Rexio.  (Okay, someone told me directly what to do while I was playing, but no complaints)  :P  Rexio starts out weak, but can be leveled up over time, eventually being strong enough to face down any enemy, including the Harbinger itself!  I still kept a close eye on him while he fought enemies, in case I needed to step in and help him, but he never seemed to actually be in any danger, since any time his hp got halfway down, he'd flip into "enraged" mode and rip any enemies apart while also regenerating.  I honestly could probably have just sat back and let him complete every level for me, and not have to lift a finger myself.  (He could probably stand to be nerfed a little)

Aside from that, not much else to say, since the above recordings speak for themselves.  I played with an Entrenchment build while Sylph played with a Sharpshooter build, up until facing the Ancient at the end of Io, where Sylph died, due to underestimating the boss, and I sent my save file over to her, so she could continue playing.

Incidentally, we streamed the games on Twitch.  My channel is here, while Sylph's channel is here.

Glad you posted it!
I would love to do another soon! I really liked how we were able to explore a ton of non-optimal play, partly from deciding on branches as a team, rather than what was best for our character, and partly from knowing that there was a 'res' option should things get on top of us.

I'd love to try it on a higher difficulty soon. x
