@MKgamecomposer None that I know, which is part of why I am making it. :)

@R3troVertigo What other games are action 2d/3d like this in terms of battle? I don't think I've seen it before.

@apepatrickdev Different characters wield different weapons. It will be party based with multiple characters in battle but at first you start with one.

@R3troVertigo The mix between 2d/3d is nice, are you able to equip different weapons?

@MrGemezl Ah! Get rid of it. That color of purple gives me nightmares. It immediately makes me think something is wrong and I gotta fix it. LOL

Recently added a new purple ore called Demonite. Yesterday I realized, it looks a lot like "missing texture" 😅 Should I keep it or change the color?

@apgamesdev Looks great!

Calling this done for now. Vegetation placement and terrain texturing need some more love in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム制作 #hd2d

@apgamesdev Nice!

Added camera zones that lock the camera, similar to how Zelda only shows one room at a time. #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム制作

@apgamesdev Yeah, I like your shader or camera trick for showing the sprite behind the walls. I might try something like that too for specific areas.

@R3troVertigo Yeah, still thinking of doing something similar to the top-down 3d Zelda game.

Dungeon visuals test. Still unsure about the wall height, I need to find a good way to show what’s behind them, or adapt the layouts to reduce how much they block the player’s view. #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム制作 #screenshotsaturday

@SamThe_Salmon Thanks, and yeah I agree, the high res textures look odd against the pixel art characters at times. I believe Octopath 1 had more pixelated textures and they have been increasing them every since.

@R3troVertigo personally i dont care for some of the newer ones with the overly realistic-styled backgrounds like DQ3 or Star Ocean, but i LOVE the style of what youre making here, with the more SNES/PS1-like textures and the low res paintings and stuff. this is what i wish squenix was doing

Wait, people are hating on HD-2D style games? #pixelart #indiedev #hd2d

@jay_are5 Thanks man! I'll keep at it, should have more to show soon

@R3troVertigo Fallen Symphony looks like a great time :DDD Im getting it!

@finexma 🤣

@R3troVertigo Masterful clickbait

@ryu_lidu Yeah, agreed, I was having seizures play testing it. I actually already fixed it but haven't gotten a new build out.

@R3troVertigo I took a look at your game and it looks like it doesn't have these problems, if I had to complain about something it would be about hit effects, there's a big flash whenever you hit something, imo that flash could be tuned down a bit

@IJustNeedAName1 Yeah, "Everybody's an Art critic." PS1 style indie games are looking pretty great too

@R3troVertigo Style isn’t the problem. It’s implementation and cohesion. Look at these PS1 era graphics coming back and actually looking pretty good. People just need to hate things and get their being and personality from it. Trump- “It’s sad”

@Freddy10629566 I've actually considered a CRT filter option for my game, and even tried some shaders that blend the pixels on the sprite natively but that didn't look too good.

@Chinco_NL Well I got some bad news for ya. 😂

@R3troVertigo Not a fan, no. But as long as only SE does it, I don't care to much. I'm not a fan of their games either, generally.

@ypatras Thanks man, I will.

@R3troVertigo All I can say is, keep doing what you're doing.
