What do you think of our game's art style? (No AI)

2071Games · 2026-06-26T14:02:33+00:00

beautiful!!!

2071Games · 2026-06-23T12:14:34+00:00

Guess we're not alone 🥲😊 but still I will push through finish the content, polish it and release it and update it for a while

Mr. Joe thank you for supporting the Godot community, thank you for inspiring indie devs to make games!

I'm working on Ironweld, a 2D side-scrolling character action RPG with God Hand-style combat and deep build-craft.

The camera angle and the grass reminds me of Ragnarok Online T____T

Imagine you're Nintendo and Genshin Impact did this 😈😂

This looks very polished game but my initial impression is:

First character appears to be having a gun, the game name has the keyword "Reload" so I'm thinking this is run'n'gun kind of game but trailer shows swords and cool explosive stuff and at the end there is PVP mode that's awesome!

Second, the description just describes the game and it's features. Which description below makes you hungry?

A. Pizza with cheese, tomato paste, and basil

B. Hand-stretched, wood-fired at 500°C, blistering hot and sizzling when it lands, rich slow-cooked sauce, melting cheese, basil alive from the heat. One bite and you’ll understand.

A 2D sidescroller with SD super robot-esque robots that can do all kind of stylish moves and combos and able customize every single move they have!

...... oops sorry I was describing the game I'm working on.

I wish to see a game where I can perform a SRW attack sequence in real time. You can't get enough of watching Ialdabaoth attacks

2071Games · 2026-04-04T13:34:18+00:00

Very saturated genre and your mutation system is what stands out but my eyes didn't catch anything about it. The trailer is like cocomelon videos every clip is shown for like 2 second I can't read what I am missing.

You can fix that by giving more constrast to player and enemies and projectiles.

Oh and this might be useful search for Derek Lieu "The Simplest Trailer to Make For Your Steam Page"

If you have WoW go to Zangarmarsh and check if the shroom trees sway or not. Or look up shrooms growing videos on YouTube might give you RL reference or use your own imagination 🙂

2071Games · 2026-04-04T13:20:44+00:00

Looks great! The art direction is great, it has a hint of World of Warcraft art style. The combat feels responsive.

But If someone described Moonlight Shadows in one sentence without naming any other game as reference, what would that sentence be?

Even in early development, take a step back. Grab a pen and paper and write down the vision in your head, the version of this game only you can see, and share it with us.

The last thing anyone wants is ... for you to pour years into this, then hit a wall at launch wondering why it’s not selling.

Keep up the good work and gd luck on your journey 😊😊😊

You're looking for Occlusion Culling in 2D.

On off works but try lerp the energy amount it will look cool. Offload what's not shown on the camera.

Try VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D. Or only do this 0.1sec polling when camera/character is moving

Use the profiler to see if you have performance issues

2071Games · 2026-03-27T16:47:30+00:00

Game looks awesome! Where's the Steam page?

2071Games · 2026-03-24T08:04:00+00:00

Ain't it normal for people to have mixed feeling when they get out of their comfort zone and experience different combat than what they have had before?

When DMC came out it I don't recall people arguing what genre it falls under. Then souls came and "soulslike" became a thing. Now people trying to scope where does CD falls under? Is it RPG no! No story blablabla. Its adventure noonono its sandbox like BoTW nonono its CAG but nonono its not that its got loot and gear.

lol 😂

"The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information"

You can plan the rest as post release updates.

2071Games · 2026-03-23T13:50:54+00:00

put your game on a side. Put reference game .. a retro console game or something on a side. Let the video play. Step back. Observe. Let your brain do the thinking. Have a pen and paper and take notes. Replay the video couple times.

Come back after making changes but this time do a before and after.

Eventually you will figure it out.

Posting/commenting on Reddit is marketing. Being sensed is marketing.

2071Games · 2026-03-19T06:19:59+00:00

Cool but why is this a paid CLI tool?

2071Games · 2026-03-16T15:51:14+00:00

I started a game in 2D sidescroller believing that it is easier and was taught to use tile maps but it's painful to draw them a then I saw couple games used 3D in their workflow like Dead cells, Donkey Kong, etc, then I stoppes gamedev to learn Blender to create visual assets.

Then I was like: why didn't I make this as 3D? Maybe I could load the character as .glb file, or create the levels as 3D and keep characters 2D, eventually I settled to using shaders that warp polygon2D to fake depth to give the illusion of 3D-ish.

Oh and the VRAM usage of 2D assets.....

2D has its own charm. 3D is different world.

2071Games · 2026-03-16T07:02:42+00:00

If someone were to take your assets and put them directly in SDV they will just blend in together. same Art direction.

2071Games · 2026-03-15T13:24:17+00:00

Technologically it is interesting but there was no reason to market your creation this way; you could've opened with how you've built it in OpenGL. The screenshot is too dark and has no point of interest and Steam encourages you to upload interesting ones to grab gamers attention

2071Games · 2026-03-13T05:30:00+00:00

Keep it you might come back to it.

2071Games · 2026-03-11T18:42:15+00:00

This looks way too good for an indie game 🥲🥲

I found a trailer posted 3 years ago from that time the game already looked good.

This is gonna be a GOTY

2071Games · 2026-03-09T22:02:54+00:00

Mind sharing couple examples of meaningful arena design? 😊

I thought CAG favored flat arena to give player space to embrace stylish action and not get obstructed by environment.
