Being able to adjust one 'contour' asset and have the whole thing update vs manually tweaking verts was more flow-y. Cutters, adjusting the top separately from the base, having interiors, and a lot of other things were added as we went to allow more fine control.

We switched a long time before the cutter thing was thought of. A friend of mine had built the start of PathShapes for a school project and I could already tell it would be much faster to iterate the kind of shapes you need for a platformer.

Why a frog? Let @luckshotgames.com tell you why.
In episode 035 of Dialogue Tree, Chris Wade from Luckshot Games told me about designing the protagonist for his game, Big Hops, and how he angered the Frogger fans.

Reality check for people doing Next Fest: it’s a multiplier on how many wishlists you have going in and aside from that your chart ranking is based on how many eyeballs / players / playtime you bring in. Don’t expect a huge bump if you’re just setting it live without much hustle.

Nice threaded look at Mickey’s level design process for the Sewer Exit, which is one of the tougher sections in the game!

Inspired by @radiatoryang.bsky.social's excellent Big Hops level design blog post and encouraged by Chris @luckshotgames.com, here's a thread where I dove back through the commits to look at our iterations on a single level in Big Hops.
