you learn something new every day in #GameDev
so in kitsune tails we put in a mode for beginners at platformers (or people who just don't have the time to feel frustrated at games anymore) where if you die you respawn immediately floating on a little cloud that despawns after a couple of seconds. you know, kinda like old coop arcade games
what nobody on our team expected was that a common problem for beginners would be not knowing that the cloud can be steered around to fly you to safety, leading to complaints that jumping off the cloud just killed you again and softlocks the game
just goes to show how much understanding game mechanics comes down to prior experience with games with similar mechanics
(anyway we're gonna put a short prompt on screen telling people they can fly around on the cloud)
