>Hey /v/ I just programmed in the waterfall into the level you requested.
>Should we put a secret behind it?
>>333397837
fuck no
>>333397837
what kind of dumbass question is that
nigga of course you should
>>333397837
Yes, but only the second time they check
>>333397837
nah that's so heteronormative
>>333397837
put another waterfall behind it
>programming a waterfall
>not just mapping instead
the fuck is wrong with you
>>333397837
Nah, too video game-y.
>>333397938
Second.
Put something back there so they can see it from the Cliffside
But make the waterfall kill them if they touch it at all, making the secret unreachable.
>>333397837
Put another waterfall behind itPut a secret waterfall behind that onePut a secret behind that
>>333397938
>>333397969
>>333397976
I knew making this thread would not let me down.
>>333398062
Agreed, wouldn't want any video games in my video games.
>>333397969
ye and behind that put a secret waterfall world

>>333398259

Put TWO secrets behind the waterfall. One gives you whatever, the other kills you.Make them swap on respawn.
>>333397837
>CURRENT YEAR
>secrets
Pft whatever grandpa. How's that gonna make us any money?
>>333397938
>secret is at the beginning of the level at/behind spawn point
>but to reveal it you have to reach the ending of the level, dont cross the end level line, and backtrack everythingfuck you bayonetta
>>333397837
hey isn't that the luigi waterfall
>>333397837
This waterfall pisses me off so much. When I was a kid I tried so hard to get behind it thinking there was something there but no.
>>333398872
The Wonderful 101 is WAY worse for that. Way worse.
>>333398970
Yeah, but you need all 121 stars to find him
It's a neat little secret, isn't it?
Nah, make it a hub for the DLC only available through the $59.99 season pass.
>>333399165
>>333398872
why does platinum need to make me suffer
>>333399071
There is something behind it, you have to fail the metal cap level in hazy maze cave
>>333399241
Kamiya doesn't care about morons like you
>>333397837
No, put the waterfall behind the secret
>>333399241
BLOCKED
>>333397969
I swear there was a game that did this.
A secret cave inside a waterfall with a waterfall inside the cave.
This thread is behind the waterfall.
>>333397837
Make the mountainside a mimic, and the waterfall its lure. Once you enter the cave and open the chest, it eats you.
>>333397837
Yeah put a sign that says "You bet there was a secret here. Surprise! You found it!"It was a inescapable room that you can only get out via reset.
>play Shadow Warrior
>see this
what do?
>>333397837
Put a door behind it that needs a key from 2 levels ahead. Behind the door should be 2 rooms. One with treasure the other a mini boss that drops something pretty good. All optional to do and won't need the items found there but it's really nice to find them
>>333399582
>>333399582
Or maybe, we are the waterfall.
>>333397837
When you go trough it you fall trough the graphics in an endless black hole, while some laughter sound is playing.
>>333399665
Get increasingly disappointed every time you find this exact asset reused elsewhere.
>>333399836
Maybe the waterfall is the hidden secret all along
>>333398872
>>333399165
Wait this is a thing in those games?
I've never even backtracked a single room in a Platinum game.
>>333399965Exactly what happened and I'm only ~3 hours into the game
>>333400025
You remember seeing all those blank spots on your ratings screens? Like there should have been a fight but you missed it and never got rated for it? Those are backtracking secrets you missed.
I can't believe I never found Yoshi's hidden cave until recently
>>333400025
yes
there are even some really silly ones in bayonetta like destroying a specific trash can, then backtracking, and a secret will have spawned
>>333398137
Miyazaki pls
>>333398192
Holy shit so good.
>check behind the waterfall
>nothing's there
>check 2nd time
>cave is open
>waterfall inside cave
>go through waterfall
>insanely expansive paradise level with waterfalls EVERYWHERE
>>333397837
Put a chess behind the waterfall, let the players see it but make the waterfall to kill them when they touch the water.
>>333400206
>>333400025
and of course it never tells you that something spawned somewhere when you activate the requirements
>>333397837
Make a cave with literally NOTHING inside of it.
>>333400380
How do people even make the connection then? Looking at the code?
>>333400189
What does it smell like? Haha
Add scuttlebugs.
Put a cave inside the waterfall, but have a small passageway that's barred off. On the other side of the bars is an open room with a switch or large, mysterious item floating in it, and a high ceiling with light shining down.There is no way to access that room.
>>333400436
It's just a big vantablack hole and as you stare into it some 2deep4u line starts playing.
>>333400436
But put a sign up inside that implies there's a reward there if you meet certain near impossible requirements.Meeting them just changes the sign to "Good job."
>>333400469
1
looking for hidden things
someone happens to find it by chance
someone else goes to the same spot and its not there
both understand person #1 must have triggered something to spawn secret
person #2 starts testing things and re-checking secret spot to see if it spawned
eventually you figure it out what was the trigger
2
it's leaked somewhere, like blog, magazine, website, news, on purpose
3
datamining
but usually datamining comes way after people found most secrets
>>333397837
Put a secret cutscene behind it.
I liked God of War because they kept chests hidden from the camera. Made you look in every nook and cranny for them.
>the level is the waterfall
>>333400943
>cutscene is the player character looking for a hidden passage or item, finding nothing, and being disappointed
>>333397837
Put a maze of waterfalls behind it.

>a secret room has been revealed

>>333400920
In the case of Doom WADs, you can find the specific triggers just by looking in Doom Builder. Find out which linedef it was, which sector it modifies, and what action it triggers.
>>333399597
Holy shit m8
>>333397938
Perfect.
>>333397837
make a new randomly generated maze cave appear each time you enter
put a lot of traps that will throw you out of the cave. When you return its a different cave
there's one single room that repeats every time at a different spot, wich is the one that has the treasure
>>333397938
Sounds perfect for my game, will use it.
I dreamed about waterfalls all night, OP
Group of us rafting downstream, there were 3 courses (easy, medium, expert) and another "bonus" course where you could go out of the defined area.
Easy was like a waterslide
Medium had bumps, hills, etc. and some scary sections with rough water
I didn't get to see hard
The bonus course ended with a steep vertical drop that would be sure death
We rescued a child that was stranded halfway through and I was supposed to hold onto it tightly, but instead grasped at a pile of rare Nintendo DS cartridges I had gotten for cheap from the gift shop.
The other people in my raft got bounced out and I was left alone with a hot ass bitch. I grabbed her ass and she moaned. I think she was a butterface, but I can't remember. We didn't fuck because I woke up.
What I'm trying to say is that you should remake Mario 64 into a white water rafting game, OP.
I'm gonna go jerk off now.

When was the last time there was actually a secret behind a waterfall
I am hardwired to check behind all waterfalls now and most of the time it's a flat rock wall. Other times it's a bumpy rock wall.
This reminds me of a time I was playing a tabletop game with my friends and they tried to pass through a waterfall.
All of them failed their swim checks massively, and we spent the next thirty minutes IRL trying to fish them out of this pond, because they kept fucking failing their swim checks. The wizard even drowned.
tl;dr don't check behind the waterfall. It's not worth your life, unless you've actually invested points in swim.
>>333402091
Didn't Undertale have a waterfall?
>>333401902
wut game
>>333402091
>I am hardwired to check behind all waterfalls now and most of the time it's a flat rock wall.
This pisses me off. At least put a coin or something behind the waterfall, fuck.
>>333402220

Dark souls
Ash lake is dope as fuck
>>333402220
Dark Souls.
>>333402346
It's a shame Dark Souls was so obviously unfinished, they probably had something really cool planned for the area.
>>333402538

>>333399665
I really need to finish this game, it was fun as fuck
>>333402346
I was in the middle of this area when I got in a relationship.
Thought about playing through it again when we broke up.
>>333401608
Arcade Rafting game
I want it now.
>>333402610
I just wonder what could have come out of Lost Izalith and BoC if they had more time...
>>333397938
>>333402091
>try to go behind a waterfall
>the water pushes you, but it makes you feel like with enough momentum, you could pass through it
If you include a waterfall that you can go behind in a game and there isn't a secret then you're literally wasting everyone's time.
>>333403164
You gotta stand at the water's edge and face away from the slope and wait 12 hours.
>>333397837
Make the waterfall change color when the player does random things like climb on a certain ladder, or step into a certain house or when they kill a certain enemy. It will make them think they're slowly unlocking a secret and they'll spend days trying to figure out the combination.
>>333403286
>implying video games aren't meant to waste your time of your life.
>>333403164
I loved how Aria of Sorrow handled this.
>>333403490
>implying anything you do isn't a waste
>Game has illusionary walls
>Some you have to press A when in front of them to open
>Some you have to attack with a weapon to open
>Some you have to use explosives to open
>Not all explosives though, it might be a throwable explosive instead of a magic throwable
>Some hide off huge portions of the map and characters
>You have to use the games shitty Havoc physics to push an oil barrel up to the wall, THEN use an explosive to blow it up
MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND
>>333397837
Put a cave behind it with a locked door. Make it reference that you need a 「key」 but never specifies which one. Fill the game with tons of keys that open both important and unimportant doors (such as one that opens a bathroom with nothing in it).Have none of the keys open the door
Put a trash can behind it
When the player checks it'll say "Nothing in here!"I fucking hate pokemon
>>333403735
Which game?
>>333404076
Not him but Dark Souls 1 and 2 check off most if not all of those
>>333404076
Dark Souls 2.
>>333404203
1 only had illusionary walls that need to be attacked.
>>333404405
I thought it also had walls that you needed to shine a light on? Maybe that's DS2 as well
>>333404769
Maybe you're right, but I only remember lights being used in the Tomb of the Giants.
Now that you mention it, DS2 also had illusionary walls that could only be activated if you use the Pharos Lockstones first.
>>333403735
>>333404076
It's a gunpowder barrel and if you kill the fat scythe guy first, you can just send it down the steps, silly.
Also,you haven't played King's Field, kiddo? From's been using illusory walls forever.

NOPE. Just nothing. It will blown the player's mind "they invested some time doing this so there's to be something here" but it's nothing.

>>333405639
The secret behind this thread's waterfall.
>>333403735
No. The huge variety in secrets is part of what I love about DaS2. I still find new illusory/destructible walls sometimes.
This waterfall pissed me off so much
I tried so hard to get over it as a kid

>>333406096
It is if you go in blind and don't look anything up. It was found within the first few days, though.
>>333406096
Yes? Obviously if you don't look it up
>>333406304
I suppose, it's just after revisiting the area after Sens and having a nervous disposition towards chests, I lashed out with a zweihander and found it by chance.
>>333397938
I love you, /v/.
We should get together and program an Asshole Game sometime.
"Boxes marked as empty actually have a 1% chance of containing a really good item"
"The jump button has a 10% chance of not working when used when the player is approaching a ledge"
"Movement is relative to the camera. The camera is normally behind your character, but it'll change position and zoom out to a side-on view of the area sometimes, and it likes to do this as you cross narrow bridges"

>>333407808
I'm not 100% sure, but I know you go deep enough to reachQuelaag's Domain, so there's a fair possibility it's there. Though, I don't know how much of DaS1 gets re-explored outside ofAnal Rodeo.
