this steam review for the playable timmy mod 😭

[timekidd]

Confession 190... Two things Alpine really needed was actual characters and an actual story. It's like the only place in the game were those two are lacking (Well other then the Cruise, kinda. Not really lacking, just aren't as good as they could have been). Shame cuz the level itself was fun to explore and the storybook at the rift had potential to be expanded and really should have been hinted at in one of the areas, likely the Twilight Bell. In fact, we kinda need more lore for the other areas, the only other thing we get are the possibility that it might have been C.A.W's original home. You don't have to give all of this via exposition , just have it be hinted with visual ques to make it more unique in this game.

sometimes i think about them

[timekidd]

Gosh, i think it's still suck that Grooves didn't have any cameos in the Nyakuza DLC (other than the stickers)

Like, in Seal the Deals, he got MENTIONED

But in Nyakuza, only Conductor has a movie poster. Like c'on, just how bad DJ Grooves movie is? Like, can the cats mention Grooves at least? Like-

random cat customers: "ugh, just thinking about that movie from the groovy penguin makes me want to throw up all these foods... again"

Random cat: "that newest documentary about the...human girl was actually interesting. I was hoping for the director of that movie to win the award..."

Random cat: "did the director aware of how some story elements in this movie is harmful?"

[timekidd]

DJ Grooves is an interesting character, he is like an "underdog" who sometimes put you in danger because he want his movies to be succeed so badly

And based on what boss you fights, he either someone who didn't let failures drove him to complete madness or a desperate penguin who got blinded with rage

Both routes are fascinating ✨️✨️

[timekidd]

Thinking about when Cooking Cat participated with the crowd to tell Mu to "get lost" :(

gosh, of all the people, feel like she should have stayed silent like Grooves

Then again, CC probably didn't know Mu before, and her first impression of mustache girl was that she dipped the whole Earth in lava

[timekidd]

Actually, is there any random lores in ahit that you don't take seriously?

For me, it's the bosses need to turn blue in order to be hit

And

"Little girl can double jump on air"

[timekidd]

It still baffled me that there is like...no official merchanise of Bow Kid. Not even a single pin

[timekidd]

Do people genuinely think the Captain Walrus is a "piece of shit"?

He is strict and straight-forward but not THAT rude imo XD

[timekidd]

I think i understand why the playtester said "they miss playing as Hat kid" during the Hat Adult level

It's probably not that they were just annoyed at her lack of animation and skillsets

I think they felt weird playing as an older girl and doing silly stuffs like HK did?

The idea of a young adult doing belly dives maybe too un-charisma XD

[timekidd]

I honestly think Hat Kid model look cute and actually represent the game style pretty well

Yes, i also do think her model quality aren't as nice as Bow but i'm fine with not changing anything about HK

Other characters (beside DLCs characters) tho...yeah, they could use some updates💦

Thank glob that there is skilled 3D moddler make a new Mu

[timekidd]

If there is a lesson in Hatty Time, i think the theme would be about “moving on”

The biggest example for this are DJ Grooves/Conductor and Mustache Girl

Both Grooves and Conductor wanted to fix their failures. They didn’t want to accept those mistakes to the point that Grooves convinced himself that it’s the Conductor that manipulating everyone into hating his movies, while Conductor dislike having lost to others, especially to Grooves. In the end, it’s best that they move on, stop being too obsessed over their old stuffs, they failed to make st good and that’s it, re-examine it and use it as an example for what they should and shouldn’t do in their upcoming movies, not keep finding excuses to why it failed.

With Mustache Girl, she lost her entire family, towns to the Mafia. So she wanted to punish them for what they did. But she too focus on her lost and revenge that she end up pushing new friends (hat/bow kid) away. I guess the lesson here is “losing people close to you is really painful but don’t let the pain and hatress completely consume you to the point of alienating yourself from others”? (tbh, if Mu just having fun kicking Mafia off the island and using the TP to bring back her old town back, i wouldn’t even mind)

[timekidd]

I really wish the Captain Walrus had more lores than just...”oh, he received the news about the death of his mentor and went into full depression” (this sound so condescending)

Like, I understand what depression can do to people (i know). But like, he should have st else other than deadpan-attitude and “pup, do this and that” and the storybooks. I wish he can tell us more about the world through his experiences, you know? Like-

maybe he nonchalantly mention “some shady cats in the metro”, hinting us the new Nyakuza DLC

talking about the Time’s End event (depending on whether you finish that chapter first or not), like, either “i feel like the weather is getting hotter, even the water here is not as cold as it used to” and “there was a time which everything was covered in lava, i have to stop the seals from jumping into it, they thought it was just “red water”

maybe just talking about which places has the hourglasses pieces , it’s unnecessary, but i think it would be fun to hear him describe it

Explaining why an octopus is helping him to run the ship. does Captain Walrus likes his puns so much that he hired it (it could give some quirks to the Captain) or they are long-time friend?

Maybe telling us what kind of creature underneath the ocean. There was a giant meat in Mafia Town. what if Captain confirm there is indeed Leviathan lurk in the deep sea?

Heck, maybe talking more about his death mentor, and like, maybe, revealing why his mentor even on the sea at that time, maybe he was simply sight-seeing and sailing for funsies, maybe just maybe he was after a treasure, a floating shining hourglassess. It could make the Captain Walrus afraid of the Time Piece, thinking it could be some sort of siren’s object that drives sailors to their doom. Hence why he willingly giving it to Hat Kid.
