    Ah okay, then we're in complete agreement there haha. Clunky and unnecessary HUDs don't help a game experience, yeah.

    No worries, I get what you're saying, but I'd still argue that this isn't entirely fair design. Your example requires getting the player killed multiple times until they learn the enemy's different methods of attack well enough to get through. To me that still sounds like it's killing you repeatedly until you get a pattern right (or in this case, properly respond to a pattern), it's just a randomly cycled set of patterns instead of the same one every time (as in DuckTales). Without having played Ninja Gaiden I can't speak on this well, but in my opinion putting a player in a situation where they don't have adequate time to respond with their reflexes alone (however unlikely that may be) -- like a sudden homing attack that gets them instantly killed -- isn't fair. The player needs to be introduced to the situation in a manner that gives them a chance to fight back.

    Mm I somewhat disagree here; I feel like some games need the HUD to show you an accurate depiction of how you're doing. I hate it when I'm playing a game and I have only a vague idea of how close I am to death, when I need a precise one. Further, not all games need to be realistic... Health bars are still an integral part of some games, like fighters. And as for the example of the ammo display, I'd say that's less an example of removing the HUD and more an example of integrating it better into the game world.

    I'd say it depends a lot from game to game.

    Sorry, I'm a bit confused; DuckTales is poorly designed because it forces you to memorize patterns... But Ninja Gaiden is an example of good difficult design, for necessitating the same thing? @__@ I think I interpreted that wrong lmao, can you elaborate?

    Hey everyone! As you probably noticed, we haven't done this year's Multi-Editor Project yet. Though we generally launch it in late June, we gave it a slight bump this year due to a few schedule conflicts. But never fear -- the MEP is back for another year! omg I didn't intend for that to rhyme I swear don't hurt me
    So some of you might be wondering, what exactly is this 'KH-Vids.net MEP'? Well I'm glad you asked! Take a look below to read all about it!​
    Information:
    Written by project coordinator Guardian Soul
    What is an MEP?
    MEP stands for Multi Editor Project. Multiple editors working together on one project. Despite most MEPs usually using one song, one band, or one theme, this project will be more like a worm. Everybody makes a small video and in the end, we'll combine them together to form a whole video to showcase our editors.

    - Video Sources -

    Since this is a Kingdom Hearts community, the allowed video sources will be Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Disney, & The World Ends With You. Other sources unfortunately won't be allowed.

    - Song Selection -

    Anything you want it to be but keep it PG-13.

    - Editing -

    The editing style all depends on the track. If the track is fast-paced, the editing should reflect that, and likewise with a slow song. Use whatever style suits you best, though. Having different styles in this MEP is what I'm shooting for, as having all the tracks look the same isn't fun or appealing at all. This is a collection of our styles all in one project and I want it to look that way.

    - General Rules -

    - Staff members Ienzo, Plums, and Stardust will be helping me coordinate this project. Their words shall be law! Listen or fear the banhammer or the infraction chisel*shot*

    - Please DO NOT POST YOUR SONG CHOICES HERE!! You will be posting them in the second phase thread; this thread is just for sign-ups.

    - Song changes this year will be limited to TWO CHANGES PER PERSON, so pick your song wisely.

    - It's not a rule per se, but please keep in mind that this isn't a race: you'll have plenty of time to put your part together, so don't feel like you have to turn in anything right off the bat! We want you guys to turn in parts you're really happy with.

    - If you join the MEP, I expect you to be active or I will hunt you down. You are to keep everyone involved in the MEP up to date with your progress. Be it a little or a lot. I would like to know where everyone stands on their tracks. So try to keep us updated.

    - There is no limit on participants and no restriction on who can participate based on post count or join date, so everyone is free to join up!

    - At the moment, the time limit hasn't been decided on yet. It'll be determined by how many editors will be participating in the project.

    - No bumpers, watermarks, or anything of the such. They're very distracting and people will be able to find out who made what part just by looking at the description.
