This year's most innovative game is...

GMTK is powered by Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/GameMakersToolkit Every year, I dedicated my last video to the most innovative game of the last 12 months. This year's pick is Neon White: a game that turns you into a speedrunning superstar through its clever "Insight" system. === Important Links === My Top 10 Games of 2022 | Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/75863560/ === Sources === [1] Top Zelda: Ocarina of Time Speedrunner Nails Incredible Record | IGN https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/02/10/top-zelda-ocarina-of-time-speedrunner-nails-incredible-record [2] Neon White’s Developers Being Too Good at Their Own Game Caused Real Problems | Vice https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7znkk/neon-whites-developers-being-too-good-at-their-own-game-caused-real-problems [3] The Design of Neon White - Developer Breakdown | Noclip Crew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxARjOY3W9o [4] Neon White Dev Interview - Annapurna Showcase 2021 | Spawn on Me Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTRtwHDsdJg [5] How A Neon White Level Is Made | Game Informer https://www.gameinformer.com/feature/2022/11/25/how-a-neon-white-level-is-made === Games Shown === Snake Pass (2017) Return of the Obra Dinn (2018) Baba is You (2019) The Forgotten City (2021) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) Neon White (2022) Ori and the Will of the Wisps (2020) Ghostrunner (2020) Team Fortress 2 (2007) Titanfall 2 (2016) Halo Infinite (2021) Slay the Spire (2019) Donut County (2018) Counter-Strike (1999) Crazy Taxi (1999) Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (2010) Donkey Kong (1981) Gran Turismo 2 (1999) Assault Android Cactus (2015) Patrick's Parabox (2022) Citizen Sleeper (2022) Vampire Survivors (2022) Hyperbolica (2022) Trombone Champ (2022) Tunic (2022) Signalis (2022) God Of War Ragnarök (2022) Tinykin (2022) Elden Ring (2022) Return to Monkey Island (2022) Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022) === Credits === Music provided by Epidemic Sound - https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/vtdu5y (Referral Link) Super Mario Bros.

Is it bad that as soon as you said “I’ve always wanted to be a speedrunner” I knew it was going to be Neon White? 😃

Oliver Villar

I knew it as well. As for spoiling... maybe don't read the comments before watching the video because the comments will be talking about the content? :P Anyway, I don't think it's a spoiler, as Matt has already shown his love for Neon White many times this year, so I sort of also assumed this would be his choice. I'm currently eating at my backlog (just yesterday finished Arkham Knight, uh!), but I'm looking forward to trying Neon White :D

Great last video of the year, thanks. I missed Neon White this year, this convinced me to play it as soon as possible!

30 seconds into a 10 minute video is just the topic of the video, not a surprise twist ending.

Mirror's Edge had otherworldly "Time Trial" DLC levels that worked exactly like this: readable abstract shapes, your own ghost, a global leaderboard, and discovering shortcuts and tricks. However, these levels are no longer available; they demanded online connection (for no reason) and EA removed the DLC from its site even for people who have purchased it. This is how they looked https://youtu.be/0rMKCYwikAc You cannot trust videos that are not at least 10 years old. Some fans have tried to recreate the levels with mods but the results as far as I saw have nothing to do with the original.

What the video did not capture is: - you constantly compared yourself to your own ghost in relation to each checkpoint - there are way more alternatives for traversal than it is obvious https://youtu.be/BAlKHwqUsYo It was rather unfair to not let people play these anymore even though they purchased them... Like I said, I don't believe their recreation could have been very faithful.

I’m so happy Neon white is getting love.
