Every game is a product of its time, and that's fine. Limitation breeds innovation. Mario 64 basically gave birth to 3D platformers and collectathons. If they had been able to do what they wanted to do (i.e. Mario 3D World), I doubt the genre would have taken off as much as it did.

This, I agree with. Developers already had a vision in mind for the games they made back then.

Welcome back to the test room. #screenshotsaturday Properly timed parry will interrupt not just the attacking enemy, but everyone in front of you, making fighting large groups of weak enemies fun and satisfying imo #gamedev Sorry it's not Saturday, I was busy yesterday #solodev #metroidvania

Hey, guys. I need your help. I'm planning on commissioning some edits on Kaji’s current sprites, and I need a good North American CRT filter to showcase them. I want the filter to be faithful to actual American CRT TVs. What are your recommendations?

RedDragonCats17 @reddragoncats17.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Drawn by @phantomstudio.bsky.social edited by me Decided to update Kaji’s design as well. PhantomStudio_Tommy did the gauntlets, but when he merged the busts into the sheet, he added the wrong head bust, so I had to improvise. #indiedev #indiegame #indieanime #conceptart

Drawn by @sharknob.bsky.social So, I can only recall posting this on here once, but this is Kaji’s sword. Fun bit of trivia, I based this weapon on 2 weapons: The nagamaki from Japanese culture and the Gazanto from Mazinkaiser SKL. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

I will downsize and streamline this back down to only a single reloading attack the player fires off. This is getting to be a mess under the hood. Though I may take some notes from R-Type of all games with how the force system works there. I had previously tried hucking the gun like a boomerang.

So to elaborate a little: I've been working on something inspired by Zexion (mainly the weapons), and adding some of my own bullshit onto it: Currently you can fire the core of each gun to attack enemies and reload. But I feel like it's getting to be a bit much between 5 damn weapons.

#gamedev when I made it so that a properly timed parry will interrupt all in front of you, and not just the attacker, it made things feel better (WIP obviously) not every enemy can be staggered from a single parry, but weak/basic ones can #metroidvania #solodev #animation

This is what the heart is for. You have 4 hits before this bonus stage ends. The animation & size animates faster when the closer to death. Not done with this. Still need to make the points system after you die, control how many/fast they spawn and tidy other things up/test.

Okay! Finally at the point where I can show progress of what I've been doing. Making a new bonus stage type. Here's a vid of all 3 types. Warps 5 & 6 are 20 seconds each followed by Warp 11, the new one. It's not done yet, many things need fixing :> Was laughing so much making this new one xD
