Easy Difficulty

[Bodie]

Hey guys! This last Timespinner Devstream I worked on implementing an Easy Mode in the game. The current design only makes 1 single change to the game: You revive instantly upon dying.

Now, as with anything in game development, this can easily change! In fact, the code for 'easy mode' happening is literally just 1 new line of code. So changing it is suuuuper easy!

What I want to know is this: How would you do Easy Mode in game like Timespinner? Castlevania? I'm open to suggestions!

(I'm not open to suggestions of NO EASY MODE RAAWRR

Tone down enemy stats to 25% of their current amount, or make bosses act 25% slower, or both.

i think towning down enemies
or maybe even easyer just giving yourself +25% hp / dmg

instantly reviving sounds like infinite lives, thats a bit over the top i think

I'd say the "Normal Mode" difficulty is a fair difficulty value, you'll likely die a once or twice against most bosses before defeating them. There is also an unlocked Nightmare Difficulty, which is much more difficult. And of course, the mentioned Dream Mode, which revives you upon death.
