One is teaching the player to be cautious when wandering off the beaten path looking for cool shit, the other is just punishing the player for playing the game. It's bad design. Same guy who did that art also proposed mimic bonfires and mimic fog doors, which is atrocious

Mimics adapt to their surroundings, much like chameleons, hence their name. They aren't 'born' as a treasure chest.

Why not just make save points big yellow buttons that say SAVE HERE SAFE SPACE? Being cautious in a dangerous environment should be a good thing.

You don't even know what a ten-foot pole is or what it is used for. No one does anymore, because games have thrown all elements of danger out the window. If there isn't a big thing with a big weapon slashing at you then you assume everything is hunky dory.

Why are PC mustardrace manbabies such whiny bitches? There was never any "artificial difficulty" complaints until DaSouls appeared on Steam. Did you ever think that the game designers could be suggesting something like:
If you get this far once, it could be luck.
Let's see you get this far again, then you're ready for the next part of the game

It's quite simple.

Mimic proportion should be constant. Too few mimics, you'll forget about them, too many, the element of surprise will disappear.

Therefore, as the number of mimic types increases, the number of time you will see that particular breed of mimic decreases. Consequence: major loss of time for the player who will spend a needlessly long amount of time hitting stuff without gratification.

Not the same anon, but I have to interject.

A mimic ladder would be fucking fine. It's only bad design to you because you're imagining the concept being applied in a bad way.

>Have a ladder lead up to what what is visually suggestive of a treasure room
>The ladder tongue begins to retract rapidly towards the creature
>If the player jumps off the ladder with the right timing, they land in the treasure room
>If not, initiate battle, deal damage, literally ANYTHING

A mimic ladder isn't inherently a bad design. It's only stupid to you because you're imagining it being used stupidly. Pretty much anything can work in a game if you think about it enough. Think my idea is stupid? Then just think up a way that's not stupid.

If you can't, then you shouldn't be giving people advice on game design.

You have to be genuinely disturbed to play shitty platformers from 1993 for tens of thousands of hours for literally no reason. You don't even get any real e-fame for doing it.

...you don't consider that to be autism?
We know the difference, man. Actual autism isn't funny, and sometimes it can be downright scary to face as a parent or sibling. But because the spoiled brats insist on acting as though they have a severe mental handicap because of their lack of self-control or accountability for their actions, and the parents are shitty enough to tolerate and ignore their incredibly disgraceful and embarrassing behavior, they're fucking autistic due to their obvious deficiencies. Add this to the fact that aspie diagnoses have been popularized to justify incredibly shitty mannerisms from the same kind of kids, and you have the reason we laugh at them: there's nothing medically wrong with them, but they have no compunction from acting autistic. So it's okay to belittle them and enjoy the fact that you aren't mentally and emotionally limited like they are.
