dream game idea would simply be a game where you run a little town full of lil indie game and animation characters that just. live there. hanging out. getting into shenanigans. something in the same realm of gameplay like cult of the lamb, tiny tower, or animal crossing.
if i had any game design talent. i would absolutely try making this real. a shame i do not though lol.
My girlfriend doesn’t have a tumblr but she wanted me to ask you this-
The character Čeda Čedović, main character of At Least There is Čeda Čedović, could have a potential Ryu Number by connecting him to Edmund McMillund's games, but it depends on what you count as official, as ALTiCC is a non-commercial game. LONG ASK INCOMING:
1. Ceda appears as a Co-op Baby in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth under the name Hooligan Baby along with the rest of his group, The Poor 4 (Half Spider Baby = Miroslav, Silly Baby = Djole and Master Cook Baby = Andre), but it is made unclear if this can be really considered him. Considering the creator of Čeda, LeatherIceCream, was involved with the development of the addon Repentance, and these babies in specific look a lot more like their original counterparts compared to other babies with references looking more like costumes, this could potentially count, and you could link Isaac and Shovel Knight together in Blade Strangers, then link Shovel Knight to Smash Ultimate, boom, Ryu. (There are also multiple other co-op babies that are meant to be characters from Mario, Final Fantasy and Warhammer 40K, but they resemble cosplays more than actual cameos.)
2. Bumbo, listed in-game as coming from Legend of Bumbo but also appearing in Isaac, appears as an enemy in At Least There is Čeda Čedović. This could be considered an unofficial cameo, but once again, LeatherIceCream has worked with Edmund before. If you believe this, this involves the same process listed above.
3. If that's not enough for you, Stephen from Edmund's game TIME FCUK also appears in At Least There is Čeda Čedović, as an NPC with dialogue. If we use the same logic used above, Stephen also appears in Binding of Isaac as an item, follow steps above.
This is a very interesting situation as it depends on how strict you are on the commercial rule. If a crossover is official in a non-commercial game, does it still count? Would love to hear the answer on this.
Čeda Čedović has a Ryu Number of 4.
(clarification below)
Going off the precedent I set with Owata, character appearances as links are fair game as long as the character getting linked from appears officially. Since Čeda's appearance is self-evidently official in At Least There is Čeda Čedović, all other appearances in the game are fair game for the sole purpose of linking Čeda to Ryu. This is why Steven from Time Fcuk is valid in this context, even if the sum total of Edmund McMillen's involvement with the game appears to be a Special Thanks credit under his Newgrounds handle of BlueBaby.
In contrast, even if we put aside that Pannacotta Fugo from JoJo Part 5 is just a normal, nonunique enemy in At Least There is Čeda Čedović, the game cannot be used to link from Fugo to another character, since it's not an official appearance.
(Not that it would even be the optimal path in the first place, but I digress.)
Even after all these years later, At Least we still have Čeda Čedović.
Also btw go actually play "At Least There Is Čeda Čedović", it's genuinely one of the best 2D platformers out there, and it's free too! So there is nothing to lose.
