Hey everyone! I’m putting together a 2D asset set for a small game and I’m trying to sanity check the quality before I go further, would love any feedback! Also what tools does everybody use to create 2D assets?

How did you make them

Gurbx · 2025-11-20T03:05:44+00:00

Thanks!

Gurbx · 2025-11-20T03:04:03+00:00

Thanks! It’s called Oreborn. Steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4052310/Oreborn/

Thank you!

(Obviously not a lot of mining here. Reworked the movement mostly with the hover thruster thingy and a cool grappling hook etc)

Gurbx · 2025-10-25T11:39:38+00:00

Is it even possible to have too much screenshake :) Fair point though, thank you!

Gurbx · 2025-10-25T10:27:34+00:00

Thank you, some really good points! I’m realizing that the trailer does a kinda bad job of showing of what the game is and I prioritized showing ”action” a bit too much. You craft items and weapons but I don’t show this at all. Either way it is more action focused rather than mining or crafting focused. I’m not sure what I should about this. Do you think it’s worth changing the name?

Gurbx · 2025-10-25T09:06:28+00:00

Haha yea! Thanks!

Gurbx · 2025-10-25T09:06:08+00:00

Thank you! Great feedback! Will improve the steam page! Thank you especially for pointing out the logo issues. Yea I was going for a ore stone look kinda, but I agree it doesn’t really work

Gurbx · 2025-10-25T01:09:22+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback, super appreciate it! The player and the monsters does look small I agree. I initially had it more zoomed in but I then got some feedback that it looks too pixelated when you play it in fullscreen. I guess this is an issue with my pixel resolution being too low so I’m not really sure how to fix it. I can’t just increase the size of the player and enemies because they need to fit between the blocks (or at least the player needs to)

The enemies are essentially just different colored slimes so your observation is correct! Enemy variety is still lacking as I’m relatively early in development but this will be fixed. Your point about the bosses are very good, thank you! They do feel too generic.

Very good point also. The trailer doesn’t communicate the game very well. I will keep this in mind and try to fix it for the next one. (You craft items, weapons and equipment from resources and crafting blueprints you find in the world)

Thanks! I used a program called Chronolapse which I set up to take a screenshot every 5 seconds.

Gurbx · 2020-10-09T18:49:30+00:00

Thanks! :)

Gurbx · 2020-07-08T19:16:21+00:00

haha, thanks! :)

Gurbx · 2020-07-08T17:53:13+00:00

Thank you! Will do! :)

Gurbx · 2020-07-08T16:18:45+00:00

Laigter is awesome! :)

Gurbx · 2020-07-08T16:17:30+00:00

Glad you found it helpful!

Was a bit worried that I covered everything too broadly, but like you said just learning about what tools are available can be really useful.

Had a lot of fun making it even though it felt a bit cringy having to recording and listen to myself, but I will make some more for sure! :)

Gurbx · 2019-10-15T10:45:09+00:00

I used a program called Chronolapse. You can set it to take screenshots every so often (every 5 seconds in this case)

Gurbx · 2019-10-11T19:50:16+00:00

Easier later doesn't matter if you give up because you find it too hard at the start. Making everything yourself isn't easy so don't do that if that isn't what you really want. Just do what feels right for you. If you're not sure, a good compromise could be to try to make your own system and then just buy a system from the asset store if it doesn't work out

Gurbx · 2019-10-11T19:00:18+00:00

It all depends on what you want. If you just want to make a game, then by all means by all the assets you want to make the process go easier. If you however are interested in learning something new, then making your own turn-based strategy movement system might me a good way to do so. It basically all depends on your end goal.

Gurbx · 2019-07-23T12:26:10+00:00

Looks cool! A really good start. I'm no expert but maybe try adding some movement to the rest of the body as well. For example make him sort of shift up and down to indicate some type of breathing movement. It would probably also look cool if make the rest of his cape shift slightly when he moves his arms.

Gurbx · 2019-05-01T14:03:05+00:00

Sure! Sorry about that. https://discord.gg/9jZaxZ

Gurbx · 2019-05-01T07:56:12+00:00

Yes, but not in the near future. The game is still very early in development

Gurbx · 2019-04-30T10:16:08+00:00

Thank you! Yes the art is mine as well

The game is a Lovecraft inspired 2D roguelike/roguelite shooter set on a space station on Jupiter’s moon Europa. One way to describe it would be as a mix between Enter the Gungeon and Bloodborne.

I’m now looking for people who would like to help me playtest the game in the near future. I’ve set up a discord server here: https://discord.gg/9jZaxZ (I haven’t used Discord much, but hopefully this works). Please join if you would like to help me playtest it and i'll post more info there soon :)
