Celeste Strawberry Jam - Passionfruit Pantheon (The Grandmaster Heartside)

girl literally too angry to die, destroys god and bitrate
--
The Grandmaster Heartside serves as the culmination of my Celeste experience. I've been setting up that line for 4 videos now.
The heartside itself, while not the gameplay of the rooms, was almost entirely the project of valkyria. She carried this entire map, and more than that, she put up with my eternal bitching. My relationship with this map is pretty complicated - I playtested a significant portion of it, but still had an absolutely terrible experience when replaying it for this video. I don't think I'm going to be playing Celeste again for a while. The amount of times I choked at the end of a flag totals over 120. At one point, my thumb started to bleed to the point where I needed to play the next couple flags with a band-aid. I recognize the objective quality of the map, regardless of how questionable the philosophy behind it may be, but I can't say I had fun.

    oh yeah, since i usually give dev history and stuff - here's 3 vids with old versions of the map edited together. there's some pretty cool stuff in them, including an easier flag 7, a completely different flag 17 and flag 1, a harder flag 4, old deco concepts, and more. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mXehxKSKiLeXY5c.html - 12/30/21 build ("what gmhs would look like if we released in 2021" build) kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4WMp9qsqdTRkqg.html - 4/20/22 build ("deco is actually happening" build) kzread.info/dash/bejne/rK2OzNWglMndddo.html - 5/15/22 build ("gamation puts effort into the video editing" build)

    something I just now realized is that at the end of flag one, when you are going up the tower, each heart crystal is the same color as the ones from each of the lobbies which are the same color as the fruits they are based on. blueberry bay 15:19 raspberry roots 15:21 mango mesa 15:23 starfruit supernova 15:25 passionfruit pantheon 15:30 (the shards after breaking it are purple)

    the philosophy behind a lot of the rooms was "make it as hard as possible" with quality as a second consideration, I recognize the insane polish on everything and the general strengths of the map but I feel that philosophy kind of hurt it overall. In general my bad experience doesn't represent the map, that's the only objective complaint I have

    This is Grandmaster Heartside, one of the hardest modded levels, and the final challenge of Strawberry Jam, the largest modded collab. It has an incredible skill curve, and anyone can get to this level, with enough time. If you haven’t already, I highly suggest playing Strawberry Jam. You won’t regret it.
