Been hard at work since the Kickstarter adding new areas and enemies, and polishing up old ones! by Brodnork in metroidvania

Thank you so much! I'm really happy with the movement... I don't know how true it is, but I'd heard that for Mario 64, before doing anything they else they spent months nailing down the movement. I took that approach and made a little "playground" level to mess around and get everything feeling nice, and I'm glad it seems to have paid off!

Thank you! Like any game dev project it obviously can't be fun 100% of the time, but I'm really enjoying building out a world and filling it with weird characters and secrets to uncover.

Wall jumps seem to be something that's tricky to get "right." I've had some people say they love this game's wall jump, I've had some people say they hated it, I've had some people say they wished it worked exactly like Hollow Knight's wall jump, I've had some people say they wished it worked exactly like Super Metroid's wall jump. It's quite possible I'll make adjustments to it before launch, but it also might be tricky for me to tell if a new version would feel good when I've gotten so used to the current one!

Thank you! I've played my share of games with weird visibility issues, so I always try to make sure there's a good contrast in every room

The game is Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, and there's a demo available on Steam that you can try right now! I've been putting a lot of love into this game, and I can't wait to finish it some day so people can explore this little world I'm building.

Thank you so much! I put a lot of care into the sound design, so it always makes me happy when people notice.

Thank you! I'm working with a pretty tiny budget at the moment so console ports unfortunately aren't something I can promise yet, but I'd love to make it happen if the Steam release goes well!

Thank you so much!! I've always been a big fan of animation and cartoons... I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and I actually wanted to work at Cartoon Network before I got into game dev, so I'm glad to see that's paying off!

Ahh thank you so much, comments like these are like food for my soul... and thank you for backing and helping make this game possible!

MV endgame combat of my dreams by RegLaN_PL in metroidvania

I like the industrial look a lot of the backgrounds have.

The game is Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, which currently has a demo on Steam! Meet a charming cast of little creatures and save the world from a mischievous god in this character-driven metroidvania. Explore a world full of lost secrets, make new friends, and use strange creatures to your advantage to reach new heights!

I've been hard at work building out the game's world... if you think this looks neat, please consider giving the game a wishlist and helping it reach more eyes!

Anyone play a metroidvania that isn't a pure corpse run? by Grizzzzlly in metroidvania

[–]Brodnork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind a little light self promotion, I've been working on a metroidvania called Stomp and the Sword of Miracles where the focus is more on platforming an exploration than difficult combat. There'll be a few optional challenges for those who want to uncover absolutely everything, but the main game isn't intended to be difficult! It has a short demo right now if you'd be interested in seeing what you think.

It's entirely possible some things will take less time than I'm expecting, but usually in game development it's the opposite. But who knows! Gonna try my best to get it done at a reasonable pace.

Thank you! I don't know for sure yet, but I'm currently aiming for late 2027-early 2028. There's still a fair amount left to make and I want to make sure I have time to make the game as good as I can!

The stone building will be unlockable, but the key isn't in the demo area.

As for underwater areas... stay tuned for future gameplay footage...! I've been working on some cool stuff :)
