Adding a Dragon Boss to my Game Because Steam is Mad at me

recently i made and released my first steam game muk which is just a small game so there's tons of bugs and issues but it's fine since nobody's gonna play it anyway 3.5 million downloads it's time for mark mark mockingback so now i'm pretty sure steam has sent a hitman to take me out because their front page is plastered with a game called muk oh god what have i done so now my only choice is to fix my game and make it good so steam doesn't assassinate me please don't hurt me the first course of action is to listen to the player's feedback and adjust the game accordingly because that's what a good game developer would do which i am not but let's see what people are saying anyway game hard game is so hard okay i hear you loud and clear and you're wrong so instead of a linear difficulty curve which is way too easy exponential curve now it's borderline impossible no you can't just make the game harder when it's already too hard the difficulty curve go but if we want to make the game even harder we need more enemies because currently the only boss is big chunk oh so i modeled a big green guy in blender gave him two anime swords and uh he's too strong also tried giving him a sword throw attack but um a table yeah but it's fixed now and the table gone and gronk is now done oh boy i can't wait to introduce my friends to gronk they're gonna love him oh there's a sketch challenge gronk oh god what have you done oh my god what the next up we're gonna make a wolf enemy now you might say hey that's not a wolf it kinda looks like a seal well that's where you're raw he's got a point though it uh it does kind of look like a seal yeah maybe you should stick to just programming you're not really the best artist and eventually it turned into a wolf at least i tried so now we just need to find a free sound effect for the wolves how about uh how about this one you know now that i think about it i don't really think we need sound effect for the wolves it's fine it's fine anyway a new problem has arised people are speedrunning muck why why is it the second most speedrun game of speedrun.com there's literally a category for collecting a rock as fast as possible which is done in a millisecond apparently how what the for some reason people just speed around my games when they're not meant to be speedrun like my other game carlson is still pretty high up on speedrun.com oh you don't know what carlson is carson is just a little game i'm working on which is currently like the 17th most wishes of the game on steam so smash switch is now gamers so now i'm not only being assassinated by steam but also by speedrun.com so my only solution is to add a story and ending to muk so you can actually speedrun the game first off we find a random position around the island and then move that position towards the center until we hit the island where we spawn our boats however if you look very closely our boat is actually just a big square so i hopped on into blender to make an actual boat model and there we go whoa gamers is it just me or is that a boat looking kind of thick so you find the boat you finish the whole thing [Applause] but oh no you need five gems to finish it ah how are we gonna find those new boss of course who will drop a gem once he dies but since you have to kill five of them i made them pretty easy to fight so you can collect all of the rocks without so i i'm i might have made him a bit too hard but it's much easier with more players so i'm gonna play with a bunch of my friends so we're gonna take him down and collect all of the gems should be pretty easy there is a guardian on me oh my god run you fool so once you collect all of the gems and finish your goddamn infinity gauntlet you can leave muck right no you that's too easy so i made a huge goddamn dragon made some sick ass animations and we now have a final boss fight which is a dragon flying around shooting fireballs and periodically coming down to do some close quarters attacks wait but isn't that exactly like my favorite game minecraft i can't believe you're copying minecraft why would you do ew i stepped in but what do we call this dragon i mean it's the final boss so surely something epic like like drogon or viserion or maybe bob no like a dragon name it should be kind of cool or epic you know son of a bop alright so you can now actually speedrun muk since there is an ending which means i only need to focus on steam not assassinating it is me steen hitman oh no wow see that was a close call the muck is already in steam recommended it's in top 50 played game right now it's rated 10th best steam game of 2021. we must act quick and finish much before it's too late boys so all good steam games have achievements which are basically just virtual medals you can earn by playing the game so i sent a message to my good friend jeremy at steam supports hi jeremy i'd like to add achievements to my game how can i do this thanks and he responded quickly thanks for reaching out achievements can be blah blah blah blah blah thanks constant hi constant more like you're constantly being a where's jeremy and what did you do to him cheers danny we have lots of different support agents you won't always get replies from the same person best regards andrew hi andrew what they never replied back strange so we're gonna forget about jeremy for a second and start working on a bunch of achievements but that sounds like a bunch of work so i just went on my discord server and asked my generous supporters to give me some suggestions which is a nice way of saying thanks for the achievements idiots yoink and yoink and um then i made art for every single achievement i want to die set up some stats on steam programmed everything needed for them to work and finally uploaded all of the achievements there's about 40 of them in total here's ah here's some of my favorites big mistake play muk for the first time the red plumber man lied eat 50 red shrooms without growing bigger oh you don't know what carl says [Music] muck beat the game using only a rock taking no damage and using no power ups yeah it's it's literally hell if anyone can actually do this and upload proof i will literally destroy a carton of milk anyway muk is finally coming together but currently there's only two songs in the game which suck because they're made by me so let's kindly ask evan king if he would like to compose some more music for muk [Music] do you want to make some music oh okay great thanks evan very i really don't have time and i don't man he's such a nice guy and after a while evan was finished with a bunch of awesome new music for muk which he did completely out of his own free will of course make sure to check out his channel you can listen to all the music he made there oh and he changed his name to context sensitive in the middle of recording this so that's why it doesn't say evan king if you're confused because cool another feature a lot of people have requested is trading so i made a new mob which for now is just kind of running around and slapping you but i mean it's just one guy so let's give him a little whack on the forehead so i made them friendly unless you attack first and kind of have them running around in an area but it's kind of empty so let's make a bunch of different things we can place around like barrels and huts and stuff and just like that we can now generate some trader camps around the map which you guessed it you can trade with some of the people in the camp so yeah i also added a new boss called chief he's like a village chief or something i don't know he doesn't actually spawn in the camps though so it doesn't really make much sense but yeah shut up but hey you can also swim now which looks really good i worked for hours and getting those good swimming animations and for some reason you can swim at like mach 10. but it's really fun to swim at mach 10 so i would just keep it in the game because i can it's my games i can do whatever the hell i want to yeah how about that and finally muk is starting to look like a finished game all that's left to do now is build the final version of muk upload it to steam and publish all of the changes for everyone to play and that my friends is the story of how steam almost assassinated me which based on a true story not really that's a lie anyway if you want to download muck and play with the boys it's completely free link in the description down below this will probably be the last update i do though because i have other projects that i want to work on and muck was never meant to become as big as it has become but hey microsoft if you want to buy muk for 2 billion dollars i'm all heirs you know okay that's about it though thanks a lot for watching smash like if good and dislike if bad actually only zero percent are subscribed so if you like and watch and you can always um later so that's cool as always drink your milk hit billy and don't beat your will [Music] oh you you don't know what carlson is bro
