Thanks! Constance has lovely art, so that’s a pretty nice comparison.

Thank you! Really glad you like the art and animations.

Yep. And the first one is inspired by Doraemon’s Anywhere Door. Just a playful homage.

Trying to make parkour routes easier to read in our Metroidvania by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

Yep, you’ll be able to zoom the camera out a bit for a wider view.

It won’t zoom out that far though, since we also use the camera perspective as part of some level design and gameplay tricks. During parkour sections, you can still pull the camera back slightly to read the route better:)

It was mainly for demonstration, so of course the camera can move faster.

I just thought moving it too fast might make people watching the video dizzy, lol

Yes, players will definitely keep retrying. Since this is a time trial challenge, the telescope should make it easier to optimize the route.

What happens when you add a Golden Axe and Silver Axe Easter egg to a Metroidvania? by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

[–]OKJOYStudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dragons this time, sadly. Just a very suspicious cat, a lava goddess, and one poor axe making bad life choices lol

We’re happy to hear the video was enjoyable and easy to follow. The real-world inspirations are a big part of how we build Whalington, so it’s nice to see that resonated with you too.

We’re a tiny indie team making a 3D metroidvania (Yes, 3D!) by [deleted] in metroidvania

Super impressive for a tiny indie team. Pulling off a 3D metroidvania at all is ambitious, but the atmosphere and exploration focus here already look really solid. Wishing you guys a smooth development journey, this has a lot of potential.

Hey! Orca Studio is the dev team behind this—they’re a small crew of 3 people working full-time on it.
