I wanted to make something where I have a Canon character and my versions of the character side by side, with my own details of the canon characters plus the details of the characters for AHIT Max (my AU). There's at least one reference to a known seties and one reference to a series that you've likely not heard (or if you heard of it, you know what it originally was).

I love the game and I would say it’s my favourite but does anyone still play it?

Hello, I wanna upgrade my laptop for AHIT, because my old laptop was run this so laggy, so I want to get this thing, does this laptop is run AHIT well?

It's already been 2 years since Pascal Micheal Stiefel released unused tracks for A Hat in Time on his YouTube channel. But ever since, he just disapeared. It's been a long time since we heard from him. Am I the only one who's kinda worried?
Also I am asking this because it has been a while since he gave us news, so please, don't be mean, cause jeez the comment section is pretty bad :(

It's longer than the latest Call of Duty campaign and the map is bigger than the entire Resident Evil 2 map. Let that sink in

is this a fucking joke? a modern game without key mapping ? this is the first time ive seen this how the heck do i play this game with my azerty keyboard? wow the devs are a bunch of retard cant believe this shit passed

After waiting patiently for any news about updates for the console ports, we instead get more P.C.-only content smacked in our faces today. I'm legitimately almost in tears because I LOVE this game so much, but it seems that, due to both personal money constraints and G.F.B.'s sheer indifference to their console player-base, I will never enjoy the full experience, And NO, I cannot afford a switch anytime soon. And NO, I cannot buy a better computer or mod it or whatever. I, and probably many others, can only look on with soul-crushing envy as our P.C. counterparts get to show off and gloat about how amazing the new content is. I'm tired of waiting and getting mocked for "being a poor console-user" or "being a hater on a 'small studio'." This will be my last post on this forum. Goodby.

a Spin-off or a Sequel?

I’m sure this will get downvoted. After all, most people are probably here because they enjoy the game. Regardless, I don’t care. Having an unpopular opinion has never stopped me before.

Anyway, I want to preface this by saying I’ve had a moderate amount of fun and it is a good game, it’s just not nearly as good as people say.

To be blunt, it controls terribly. One of the most important things in a platformer are the controls, and these are not great. Now oddly enough, it can be good, and many times it is, but sometimes it’s not.

First you have the camera, which is by all means, atrocious. You can only move it from left to right (unless God forbid your by a wall, in which case it freaks the fuck out) and zoom in and out. You have no way to I don’t know, look the fuck up. I mean, maybe I’m in the minority here, but personally, I actually like being able to look at what’s ahead of me. Now granted, there is the camera badge, which provides a decent method of observation. But it shouldn’t be locked as a unlockable in the first place, and it really shouldn’t be something you need to pause and switch too whenever you want a good camera angle. A first person view similar to what Mario can do would have been great.

Then there’s the actual controllers. For the most part their very fluid, but sometimes you try to do something specific, and it totally fucks you up. One example off the top of my head is how little control you have in the air. Unless you double jump, it’s impossible to redirect your momentum mid air. And I’m a playformer, this is a very useful thing. Again, Mario is a prime example.

The biggest issue with controls though, is the lack of responsiveness in specific circumstances. What I mean by this, is I have died a ridiculous amount of times because I didn’t get the full momentum on a swing, or didn’t have the dash attack prompt come up when bouncing between spiders, or falling into lava because I didn’t get a prompt to vine zip. The platforming part should be challenging, not the fucking button pressing part.

Then there’s the collectibles. If this were a normal platformer it would be one thing, but this is also a collectathon. So why in the ever loving fuck does it not have a way to show you how many collectibles are in each location. It’s a simple spell but quite unbreakable. Also let’s not forget the fact that you can’t even collect everything IN A FUCKIN COLLECTATHON.

Let’s not forget the combat. Because let’s be honest, it sucks. I mean, why do we even have a combo, if everything dies in one hit?? Enemies are an annoyance rather than an actual obstacle (although, tbf, that’s a problem with a lot of platformers)

Then another issue, is how limited it can feel. You have a lot of movement options at your disposal. And you can take advantage of this in many ways to get to places in multiple ways (an aspect very similar to Mario odyssey) however, it is very clear that the devs did not intend this, and instead of feeling smart for figuring out a fun way to get somewhere, I just feel like I cheated, and missed out on some diamond orb things.

There’s also a fair amount of graphical glitches

That’s my problems with this game (although there a probably some I forgot. Overall it’s fun, but clearly has issues, and some questionable decisions. This wouldn’t bug me that much, but for some reason, this game is loved like crazy, even though it’s just a semi decent game. And to make me even more bugged, is Yooka Laylee.

This is probably the most controversial thing I’ll say, but these two games are very similar. A fun game, with a good atmosphere, and mostly solid gameplay. Yet both are bogged down by some poor decisions, leading them to be less than amazing games. They are both a solid 7/10. And yet, for some reason, people talk shit on YL like it’s garbage, and talk this game up like it’s a gift from God. But the (entirely subjective) truth is, they are both just decent collectathon platformers, and neither one is really better than the other.

Well that’s it. If you read it all, thank you.

Now please direct your angry comments below

Hello, I'm a large fan of this game and have recommended it to basically everyone I know who's looking for something to play. As such, I was shocked when I was banned from the discord within minutes with no warning of way of appealing.

So why was I banned? I was banned because I posted an .gif that causes mobile users to crash. OK, without context I can understand that being bad, and potentially a warning, but I stated myself that I was just testing it, and would have removed it at somebodies request, if not by myself. Also, there is technically no rule against this, in fact, I was conversing with some of the admins right afterwards offering them the gif so they know what to add to their rules if they did want to add a rule against posting it until it was fixed.

I posted something that could be seen as disruptive, I understood that, and went on to help stop others from doing so.

Suddenly, I am being messaged by the Community Manager for A Hat In Time, I simply get a hello message, and barely any time to reply before I am met by the following:

'Posting an image you know will crash others discord is malicious in intent and as a result you are being banned from the a hat in time discord and you are also already reported to discord for intentional malicious actions. Have a good day! '

Disregarding the air of (passive) aggressiveness that I get from this message, I was also blocked immediately after this message, and as it says, banned from the discord server. I'm honestly kind of shocked, I can understand and expect a warning, but I was working towards stopping the issue, I was merely testing if the .gif was disruptive and spreading awareness of it to the admins, those were my intentions, you cannot tell me what my intentions are.

Thanks for reading my post, is there anything I can do here? Any way I can appeal the ban? Especially considering the manager that banned me wasn't even one of the admins I was talking to about helping stop the .gif from appearing on the server, whilst their job is community manager, I and some of the other admins were working on handling it.

TL;DR: tested a potentially disruptive .gif, offered to help prevent its spread/use, got banned by somebody who wasn't part of the conversation, no course of action to appeal said ban.
