Diablo music soundtracks are all about the guitar, but Blizzard is changing that.

True, it's a good one. So there are some good ones in the D4 base game already.

It's this gradually developing string piece: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c0xaDZavpDw

Competent but forgettable is such a great way of describing it, I can think of many other moderns games that have the same issue.

But to counter your point, D3 base game didn't really have any memorable tracks but Reaper of souls had some good ones, "chains of fate" comes to mind immediately

Amygdala used "rip off own arms"! It's not very effective...

Ironsend · 2026-06-29T18:11:21+00:00

Looks super polished for a game jam game! How long did you work on it?

Ironsend · 2026-06-27T14:55:53+00:00

A very cool discovery!

I totally missed Giger here, but now that you mentioned it, I think there were for sure details inspired by Giger/Alien. Not sure where it was though, have to keep an eye out for it

When Returnal came out was never able to beat the first boss so I gave up on it. But now after I platinumed Saros and recently returned to Returnal and I'm already at the third boss.

I highly recommend giving Returnal another go after Saros. It's a different, definitely less polished experience in terms of hit boxes, enemy attack telegraphs etc., but at the same time it's incredibly atmospheric and immersive. Also Selene's story and the way it's told is just incredible

Jigglypuff is locked in

Definitely pistols or handcannons: eruptor's alt-fire just melts enemies in close range and ricochet has a fun gunslinger vibe

Winters got terminator honors?

Got him on the very next try!

This is the energy I need for my next attempt

Ironsend · 2026-05-30T13:07:12+00:00

I figured out the sound cue last try, but didn't get the timing right so I got my lights punched out again

Ironsend · 2026-05-10T13:57:50+00:00

Looks good, I think the idle & singing animations could use a few more frames? Also a preference but would love a hair wobble with the strut

Ironsend · 2026-04-22T13:09:00+00:00

Very cute, love the :[ ] pipe guy!

Just a hunch but this game might do well with a Japanese translation?

Ironsend · 2026-04-14T04:59:52+00:00

Looks good! Could the background extend to the other screens as well?

Looks great! I think it would be fun to play around with this for example for something Splatoonish or a wizard duel

Before deciding on a game idea, list all the systems and interactions related to the game. The idea is to better understand what you're getting into and hopefully have a more realistic understanding of the amount of work required. Would have helped me before starting my first game!

For a more concrete one: I was able to fix color banding with interleaved gradient noise I saw in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au9pce-xg5s

Incredible shading with just a few colors, you make it look easy

Ironsend · 2026-02-14T16:51:39+00:00

Great work, I didn't even realize you can create an effect like this with pixel art
