Lol that would be fire.

Yeah - maybe if you darken/desaturate it slightly you'll still get that visual without being as Harsh?

They both look really good!
The brighter one adds more flavour, but the original reads easier

I prefer short games with high replayability, like Nuclear throne or ember Knights. I don't have time to play a 10 hour gaming sessions anymore :(

Solodev working on Aschroft - A 2d Platform Fighter, who's story mode is a Metroidvania with a one-hour realworld time limit. Focus is on tight platforming, and tighter combat!

Aw man, but mine literally is my dream game lol I mean, a 2D platform fighter is still a platformer.
Also, 2D side scrolling platformers don't really sell.

I always develop with cheat codes. I need them for the same reason early developers need them - skipping to sections, making things easier so if it's a part I am not trying to test, or even hide parts of the game that I like but aren't quite making it in to the game itself.

Yup. PostgreSQL, Greenplum and a lot of Bash. I taught myself how to code, and then went to school for IT, so I could get a job and finance my indie game.

Hi Keith! I sent you an email about Ashcroft - it's a Platform-Fighter who's styling, story and atmosphere are heavily influence by the 90's horror aesthetics

I've always felt that I'm too big and too wide to be feminine. Then I realized, if I'm going to be an Amazon, I should lean into it. I'll let myself be Princess Diana of Themyscira

I'm a game dev! I think my strength is really tight controls and action.

Godz, I would love to talk design lol
I make my game because there's a specific itch that I have - no ones created a game quite like it, even if it's only just a metroidvania Mortal Kombat, and if I don't make it who will?

I say the same - I've been working on this every free moment I have, and I've sacrificed lots of sleep and fun nights to make sure that I can get as much done as possible.
Game dev is a passion, and I couldn't live without it. I just hope that I'll find people who like this game as much as I do.
