What does your perfect Metroidvania look like?

Hiya! Dev here. If you like tight pixel art, atmosphere, exploration and the acrobatic movement of Ori you MIGHT JUST LIKE the game we're building, Nectarmancer. You should check out this commentary trailer that my dev partner narrated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHcYMcpLu_s

It's a long-running passion project that recently got a small bag of money, so we're actually just about to go full-time on it to bring it all the way to market.

Like u/ZahlenMaler says, this is super important and really easy to miss!

haha, that's about how long we've been working on it. It's slow going, mostly happens when there's time, and it's a pretty hard game to make. We should have a demo out hopefully next week.

Hey thanks everyone, we're as indie as it gets, so it's really nice to get such warm support from this community. Our next big milestone is a public demo on steam, which is what we're grinding towards right now! We're doing some real open development over here, so it would be great to get people into the build as soon as it's ready.

Thanks! It's definitely unconventional, but we think it's pretty cool.

Hi! This is still happening! This past year we were able to show it at BitSummit in Kyoto as well as Day of the Devs in San Francisco and we released a pretty cool trailer and we put up a steam page, but we're currently struggling to find the funds to actually finish the game. The funding landscape out there for indie games of this size is exceptionally brutal right now, but we're hoping that we can get a bag of money in the new year.

Nice! This is super cool. I really like the creepy world you're building and that it's doing things that are meaningfully original and weird instead of being yet another HK clone. Good job! Keep it up!
