there's an entire class of pixel artists that directly use your style, i'd be shocked if there weren't a few games that rip your work. but yea that's definitely directly referenced lmao the tan cloud step is way too stylistic to be coincidence

If you're like me and you wonder how Japan's so good at baseball without a lot of urban space for kids to play full games in, the answer is that they line their rivers with fields #baseball #npb

Again first thought, make another zeldalike but without a limited palette. It's an attractive/nostalgic visual limitation to you/me/enthusiasts, but you might be arbitrarily limiting yourself a bit. Maybe spin up a mature horror zelda thing, I can't name anything like that.

it's the same*
But the sales are consistent, which would imply to me you have a really cool, hardcore audience that follows each release (reviews seem to be a lot of people comparing to prev titles). Maybe you've kinda exhausted that well of players?

I'm only saying this because it's just the first, unfiltered thought that comes to my mind (and is maybe useful for that reason alone), but it really feels looking at your backlog that it's same game 6 times in a row. The target audience and art styles are all the same (which, I love the art) 1/2

What was the reception you were hoping for, numbers-wise? Asking for reference to my own proj., we got ~1000 wishlists in our next fest with no marketing (long story). Only if you don't mind me asking, your demo looks great to me so am surprised it wouldn't live up to your goals.

tysm 🤧🤧

it's the best one so that makes sense! <3

Didn't have this on here o:

Anything that can compute is a computer. There's an excellent argument to be made for egg slicers in this regard.

craaazy man nice stuff

do you have this in png format 😞
really nice. probably my favorite of yours since LH

It's pretty old (23) and I don't like it very much, don't feel like it's very good (I haven't touched it since I made it). I haven't done a sidescroller mockup in a loong time, lol. This one is way better (though weirdly just about as old), but I need something new to mess with o:

this one, i will not be finishing

my friend, you could just put "i don't use references" in your bio instead of mentioning it every time

sadly no I don't have money to donate to anything right now LOL contest winnings would definitely go into my bank account 🤧

i mean, bet, lol. I just usually see these in the context of getting eyes on something else, but sure. who would say no?

depends on what the purpose of the contest is, ie what's it bringing attention towards

These are crazy. But the 3rd one in particular is amazing/confusing me, how did you get her neck to have that grayish tone? Is that in post? Is there a gray wall you're bouncing light off? Really cool effect.
