Looking forward to seeing where this goes; I can imagine a number of different changes. Would love a version with more players, although I can imagine that might be hard to get right.
@@lostmarbles2d The only way I could see more players working is a circular arrangement, with the 'vines' growing outward from a center core. So more like kelp. That way the vines could still hit all the other players just by bending around.
@@SeanMirrsen That's a good idea, it would work well with the movement of the vines. The other methods I'm considering: 1. In a line, close by. Currently recording a version with this method. For this method I'm removing collision between team members. 2. Circular arrangement, but gravitationally bound to the center, like with my tricky towers videos. 3. Opposite gravity. The two players / teams start at opposite top and bottom and have opposite gravity settings. This has the added effect of requiring a very long vine to be able to hit the enemy core.
@@lostmarbles2d idk how it would work, but i was first thinking of a sort of looping box, so that the right is connected to the left and vice versa. I just don't know how it could be implemented, and it would probably only really work with low player counts.
I really love the counters that track how many marbles have passed through! It really helps tell the story of the game. Though I have to wonder how green managed to get just so many more marbles than orange
Ever so slightly borrowed from Mikan, but uniquely different, nicely done! The vines feel a bit constrained by the short distance between them, but it worked out fine in the end. Nice to see you're still branching out into new interesting marble games. Even if this time it's vines with no branches to speak of. :)
@@lostmarbles2d Perhaps for the next one you could implement something like Mikan's idea of 'crisis mode'? If one vine is much longer than the other, or has much more health, the opening that lets white marbles to that vine's side has a flap descend on it, constricting the flow and shifting the bias to the other side.
SPOILER ALERT !!! Why does green has 60 more marbles than orange at the end ? Something is wrong about the distribution for a difference that big Edit: i calculated the p-value, and its 1.41%. So there is 1.41% chance that orange have that many less in this situation. Or 2.82% that one color have at least that many more marbles. In science, we say that we need less than 5% to happend randomly to say that something is wrong, and here its the case Edit 2: at 8:10, both colors have exactly the same number of marbles, its only at the last 4 minute that green gets more marbles
Probably due to the second marble spawner that opens up after 7 minutes. Getting the balance of the marble mixing right was really tough. What I've done for the next one is to have both side spawners active from the start, and each one has a slip lane where most of the marbles will immediately go to that player's side, and a small portion of marbles will go through to the mixer in the center, where they have a chance of going either way.
Wow. I know it’s been a while since I’ve watched and compared to what I last saw and was expecting, my expectations were blown out of the water with a nuke. Seriously, good job man! Maybe you should consider doing some merch if you haven’t already!
Thanks! I did put a lot of effort into this one. I'd like to do things like merch, but I doubt there will be much interest. Maybe when I have more subscribers!
everything went wrong when the second marble dropper opened, until then the counts were basically even but by the end it was heavily skewed in green's favor 319 - 263. Almost a 20% difference.
I seem to have the unique ability to always route for the loosing side in these. there seems to have been a bias towards green marbles though. even at the end orange only had 14 marbles to greens 43~ marbles.
Muscle: Allows the vine to swing harder and faster. Straight: Adds a segment of vine after the current piece. Thorn: Does more damage to the other vine. Swing: The vine swings at the other vine doing damage, if it doesn't have any muscle it won't swing Heal: Will heal the vines a portion of health. Fruit: Makes a fruit on a random price of the vine that will explode when hitting the other vine. Upgrade: Will make some portions of the vine stronger.
Be careful when you go out to the jungles, because you never know when you might encounter local vegetation suddenly coming to life, proceeding to smack you in the face....
My guess is that the timing for the balls dropping around 7:30 ended up lining up with the moving block in just the right way. It does seem odd that green would end with 60 more balls than orange. I feel like staggering the entry of the balls or perhaps adding another collision before they get the color could help some.
SPOILER Yeah, get fucked Orange! I hate how in these videos, it seems that the side i decide to root for at the start ends up losing most of the time, and I tend to pick the cooler (as opposed to warmer) color.

i love how there was a period of time where Green was completely unable to swing due to not having any muscles.

I'd like to do that, I have a few ideas for handling it, will need to see what works well

Hmm...in terms of infinite scalability, the arena could shrink every time a player goes down so that there are always enemies nearby.

7:20 Big slice-off 8:31 The most critical hit I’ve ever seen in my entire life 10:58 WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Great video, I would love to see more vine battles! It's also very nice that we can see how many marbles went through each trigger.
I had to put that in for testing to get the balance right, left it in because why not
The forest background image make the game a lot better (visually) than many other races of yours.
Thanks! It's thanks to your comment on discord :)
3:33 the way orange throws his vine at green here got a chuckle out of me
There seems to be a bias in green’s favour.
During testing there was always a massive favour in Orange's favour, took a lot of tweaking to get it this close.
@@lostmarbles2d Perhaps for the next one you could implement something like Mikan's idea of 'crisis mode'?

@@SeanMirrsen That's an interesting idea, thank you! Although I've obviously seen many of Mikan's videos, I don't recall seeing that function.
@@lostmarbles2d Some of his later ones implement it. I think it actually started with the first "growing tree battle" he did.
@@KisoDannete Idk how to calculate the probability, but that green ends with 50 more marbles than orange should not happend
Man, when I saw the fruit I hoped they would grow into something on that mass of compost on the floor
That's a pretty good idea for a future one!
@@lostmarbles2d I'd love to see it!
3:33 Orange just threw a branch at green 💀💀
I feel like the timing of the blockers that chose the color gave green a massive boost, since almost all the balls ended up for green
Sad to see the haters coming out against an honourable green victory
Something I noticed is.at.the.end when the twp.areas.opened green got a BIG over powering boost on marbles sealing the.fate of the 2 colors
Right. Really seems to generate more green than orange at that point. Not super balanced.
Green abused the use of explosives to absolutely wreck everything, including the pile of decomposed matter on the ground
“The longer the Green Vine is on Earth, the more powerful it will become.”
I guess that means we need to make a boss battle :P
5:41 hey green take this
I have question
What do the fruits do?
They explode upon contact

Orange became a noose to taunt Green 💀
its nice to see your own little twist on mikans tree growing battles.
Just like growing tree battle by mikan!
How is no talking about the health that orange had was the "funny number" for a bit

I'm surprised 'crisis mode' was not added in here.
With the problems I'm currently having balancing the marble routes on the next video I might just do that!
Niiice! Didn't think my colour would win, cool concept, love it!
Hey, thanks!
That was SUCH a rollercoaster damn, green had a comeback after getting down to 38 Health
I seem to have the unique ability to always route for the loosing side in these. there seems to have been a bias towards green marbles though. even at the end orange only had 14 marbles to greens 43~ marbles.
same
That was cool! But I didn't understand, what did fruits and upgrades mean?
Nice :D
There are several variations / additions possible here, excited to see where you take it :)
E
:D
Man, everything changed in the middle, I totally thought {Team} was going to win
Team = orange
This channel is so great
Dang, what a comeback
8:30 noice
*CRITICAL*
Wow, I like it!
On a philosophical note, this video illustrates how people would behave if we were driven purely by chemical interactions occuring in our brains.
How orange survived for so long against the absolute flood of green marbles is a mystery to me.
I like this a lot.
Muscle: Allows the vine to swing harder and faster.
Straight: Adds a segment of vine after the current piece.
Thorn: Does more damage to the other vine.
Swing: The vine swings at the other vine doing damage, if it doesn't have any muscle it won't swing
Heal: Will heal the vines a portion of health.
Fruit: Makes a fruit on a random price of the vine that will explode when hitting the other vine.
Upgrade: Will make some portions of the vine stronger.
Is this music from Everhood?!
5:20 AM and here I am, literally watching grass grow.
Be careful when you go out to the jungles, because you never know when you might encounter local vegetation suddenly coming to life, proceeding to smack you in the face....
This is a literal arms race 😂
oof for orange and ez for green
Yessir
Green had like, almost 100 more balls at the end than orange, that's why it won!
What’s the purple box say? Black in dark purple is hard to read.
What exactly did the upgrade slot do? I didn't really see anything new that it added.
Slightly increases size, health and damage of all current segments. It's very subtle, will probably increase it for the next one.
the number indicating the times passed is interesting, it lets you see how hard things are to reach
I like how there was a period of time that green’s vine was sooo long
orange was the better fighter, but green grew faster
It feels like [LOSER] had a positional disadvantage..
3:34 did orange just invent a fucking ranged attack? Dear god
Curious, why green suddenly had more balls
My guess is that the timing for the balls dropping around 7:30 ended up lining up with the moving block in just the right way. It does seem odd that green would end with 60 more balls than orange. I feel like staggering the entry of the balls or perhaps adding another collision before they get the color could help some.
what does fruit do?
What did upgrade even do?
Makes all segments on the vine a bit bigger, tougher, deal more damage, etc.
What's the list of songs used?
Bro what was the purple one
What is the purple field? I can't read it due to the darkness
It's "Upgrade" - which increases the stats and size of all current segments.
Sorry about that
@@lostmarbles2d no problem thanks!
uh, vines don't have muscles, FYI.
Whelp, I better delete the video 😥
I am considering simplifying it such that there are just normal or thorny pieces and the whole thing swings
They need muscles to be strong 😉
@@lostmarbles2d don't
What's the effect of upgrade?
Improves the stats of all segments - health, damage, etc
10:50 is when you see what is that block does
What is the name of the game
is this program publicly available?
Not at the moment, might make it available at a later stage, would need some fixing up etc
@@lostmarbles2d understandable. Good luck with that
What does fruit do
It explodes on contact with the enemy vine, dealing splash damage
Thanks I also love to see when they put the fruit the the very end of the vine because then it just goes*booooooooooooooom*
Please don't make it red and green, thanks! Sincerely, a colorblind person.
how do you make this
I use Unity and program the game logic myself, with some art assets downloaded from various asset stores.
Orange is me( trying to get muscules)
make a vine battle but u have seeds
💚Sempre escolhi o verde sabia que ele é
8:32 Nice.
HAHAHA YES! I WON!
Deku Bakugo. Although orange was the first one to swing so hard he broke his own arm, so the colors don't match the names.
Im confused how is this a battle it looks like it's purely luck
If you say its fair its like jr saying that hitler couldve won the ww2
green wins
hi 😅
shame it wasnt more even, generated marbles 265:315
There were way more green balls
