Description Hello everybody, I have a question for you: do you think that the score is relevant? I'm asking that because I did some research and I found that the game didn't had a Score System in the Japanese version. That makes sense since the game is not 100% linear (you can play the same stage and get as much score as you want). My plan is to remove the score system to keep the HUD more clean, but first I want to hear your opinions on that subject.

I believe the score is not actually necessary, so yeah, you could keep the HUD clean instead of keeping the score system.

In the actual story the score would glitch drastically, so for the sake of continuity for the original story I think it would be necessary

It'd be interesting to keep score, just for personal satisfaction. And the corruption was in the story, so, your call.

Score is not really relevant, just the corruption of it to keep true to the creepypasta

I think you should leave the scoring system if for no other reason than to have it become glitched as it did in the pasta.

It would be cool if we had a corrupted version like in the creepypasta.

If you wish to keep the HUD cleaner though, i'd recommend removing it, since it really isn't necessary.

I think it may be necessary.
Because you can move anywhere in the Godzilla creepypasta, score would be more of a motivation to play through the levels instead of skip to the bosses.  Remember, if you go to the base too early before red spawns, there should be a "there is no monster here" dialogue box
I suppose you should do whatever matches the creepypasta the best

Removing the score system would benefit the game. There's not much incentive to do anything with it because it really doesn't effect the overall gameplay.

Well, I don't mind the exclusion of the score. Given the changes between the original story and this game there are (though faithful), I don't mind the lack of a score count. Like others would probably say, the only reason to keep it in is with the one part where the score count gets corrupted, but that's about it. A minor detail in the long run of things.

Question (feel free not to answer): will we be able to 'name' the characters that Red talks to? Like Zachary and Melissa?

tbh, the only reason I'd want a score is to have it corrupted like in the 'pasta. Have it for a couple stages, then make it a jumbled mess!

SuperBattletoads [2015-11-23 16:03:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah,its better to remove the Score.

I think you should keep the score.its more loyal to the American version the the creepypasta is based on

To be honest not alot of people care about a score system anymore unless its necessary. I say remove it from this game its just pointless work. But if you are going to add minigames (For whatever reason) Then a score system there would just look nice.

i think it would be the best to remove it,also,the score wasn't important in the creepypasta,it was glitched most of the time.The score is unnecessary unless you make a high score system when you finish the game (or when you die)

Sledge3 [2015-11-23 14:11:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, it depends. If you think you don't have neccesary info left to put on the HUD, then I don't see a problem to add score.

Eeeeeeh... If it's easy to score grind, then maybe it's best to remove the score system.

I always used the score as a rough estimate on how I would level up. Granted it's not the best thing to use it for. Given that you have a meter for it now though I think getting rid of it will be fine.

47ness [2015-11-23 13:04:49 +0000 UTC]

Seconded; I remember playing this game as a kid and just worrying about surviving each field. It's already pretty bullet hellish so less HUD clutter might be best.

AlphaBirb [2015-11-23 13:00:31 +0000 UTC]

yea it'd be best to go without the score meter, because the score meter isn't much that important per say, only beating the level in one piece.
I think you should indeed go with the canonical Japanese version without the score meter.. I know to some scores don't matter and what not, but when you look at it the other way (since this game is based on the creepy pasta) the point of the game would be survival, not gathering shit ton of score to brag.

Btw, the screenshot above shows the game without the score.
