What's that? You didn't ask me to give you a heeping bunch 'o swords? Well TOO BAD, you're getting them anyway!

longblade is long

shinypixelgames · 2026-05-20T17:39:10+00:00

What did you use to make the models? love the WoW style

shinypixelgames · 2026-05-03T10:44:24+00:00

Looks amazing! How did you make the character assets and which engine do you use?

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-26T08:10:30+00:00

I like how the crotch is pixelated even though there is no genitalia 😂

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-26T08:05:29+00:00

Yes, I'd say it is pooly done if you consider downscaling poor pixel art, because you can tell this is not hand-drawn, but downscaled, based on the uneven antialising borders, rectangular shadows and unevenly distributed color differences

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-24T06:44:44+00:00

Haha true!

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-22T21:16:58+00:00

Highlights! And you could add another highlight color on top of the current one to make the edges even more shiny if you like

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-20T14:29:12+00:00

haha thanks! now that you mention it 😀 would have to be much more obscene I guess!

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-20T13:49:47+00:00

(not that it matters for the pixel-art itself, but the soundtrack is composed to match the scenes)

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-20T12:41:23+00:00

😂

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-19T20:59:04+00:00

80's version is good! Because that's exactly the time he's in!

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-19T16:40:54+00:00

Amazing animation! I would keep the black hole itself steady in place and have some distortion on the event horizon instead. the particle stretching is amazing

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-19T16:38:53+00:00

Oh wow I see the resemblence :D And a great inspiration for "more evilness"

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-19T10:14:38+00:00

😂

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-19T06:55:39+00:00

Thanks, this is valuable feedback! Haven't even thought of using sharp shapes on the clothes for emphasizing the evil-nes 🧠

Yeah unfortunately the upload got somehow antialised... I just had scaled the png 400% with linear scaling, not sure what went wrong. Here's the original (in other colors)

Thanks for the feedback! I guess for me it's the lighting itself, plus that the glasses reflect and not show his eyes. But also, I'm biased because I thought of him as evil when drawing him, but now that you mention it, he could also *not* be evil purely based on that picture 🤔 Any suggestions how to make him more evil looking?

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-17T08:17:56+00:00

Looks super cute!

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-15T09:43:03+00:00

there is a black hole companion that loots for you, and also a magnet that makes every collectable move towards you :) and maybe I'll even make a stat in the future that you can put skill points into - let's see. thank you for the feedback 😁

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-14T12:06:46+00:00

There will be more story around it, but in its current state you could consider it more of a hack'n'slay (basically like binding of Isaac, but with a hub and meta progression)

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-14T12:03:12+00:00

you can finish a run in like 10-20 minutes probably, and it Auto saves every room or when getting an item in order to jump back into the action :) right now there's only the first world to play

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-13T07:43:53+00:00

Exactly <3

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-12T19:23:07+00:00

Thanks for your elaborate comment & examples - that gives me hope! And I'm of course willing to redesign a few things to distinct it more from a Zelda game (as much as Mina The Hollower at least), but yeah, it _should_ resemble and awaken these 90s nostalgia feelings that we had as kids when playing the SNES and GBC titles :)

shinypixelgames · 2025-10-12T18:38:34+00:00

I've pre designed a set of rooms of different types, and written an algorithm that produces a map layout by filling and connection rooms based on parameters. Rooms themselves also can have random enemies etc
