Okay so...
I've been working on this for a little over a month, maybe? I had an extremely stupid idea, and worked quite hard to make it a reality. I'm still not completely sure whether that was a mistake.
Anyway. This is a DROD-hold interpretation of the music video/song by Bad Lip Reading called "
My Stick"
, which is in turn based on a particular scene from the movie
The Last Jedi. (If you're not familiar with that, maybe you shouldn't click that link and watch it? I'm really curious what the experience of playing this hold is like from a position of total unfamiliarity.) I think this is hitting the upper threshold for how many filters you can take an original source through before it becomes unrecognizable. The adaptation involves having puzzle rooms built around various chunks of the lyrics, altering some of them along the way, and adding a few additional lines here and there.
It features a couple of custom things I really don't even want to spoil by describing in this post. There is a little bit of arbitrary scripting too, which I do my best to tell the player about through scrolls. I think the puzzles are decent, and should be low-to-medium difficulty at worst. The difficulty sort of goes upward as you move north through the level, but I can't claim to have built a carefully-crafted difficulty curve or anything like that.
Any HA's can maybe weigh on in this, but I'm under the impression this should be properly publishable as-is, licensing-wise. Using a heavily-altered version of a song's lyrics with none of the music feels far-removed enough to me to be fair use for sure. And another particular asset from the internet is also used, which I give full and proper credit for including a link, as its terms of use require.
So..please enjoy! Test it out, let me know what you think. If you want something to target, I'm slightly concerned about 4N and 4N1E, for different reasons: 4N is very chaotic on purpose, but I don't want the chaos to be frustrating; 4N1E could perhaps stand to have its difficulty tweaked up or down a little bit, maybe, by altering the speed of its "
"
timer"
"
