Wtf is this shit? >get hired by a game studio to work on

that sounds retarded as fuck

>>384861541
Try Valdis Story, it sounds a lot like what you're talking about, it's a pretty good game too.

>>384861837
saw vids of it, fundamentally flawed. Combat systems like that ruin what a metroidvania is. They're about fast gameplay and exploring large areas, leveling and gearing up to get stronger. Not fighting tons of enemies with combos and blocking and all that shit.

>>384861541
curb your autism please

>>384862462
It's not autism, that style of gameplay doesn't fit. Why do you think Bloodstained isn't adding combos and all that shit to it? That stuff ruins metroidvania style gameplay.

The metroidvania part was already a red flag. That and indie platformers with shitty physics are the go-to games for indieshit.

Still, if you want some reference on how a beat-em-up can work, play The Ninja Warriors on snes. It's actually really good.

>>384862630
metroidvania as a genre doesn't say anything about the base combat style m8. You're just being autistic.

*how a beat-em-up can work in 2 planes

>>384862630
yeah, bloodstained is instead going to be ruined by other factors, like a hack developer and ridiculous expectations of its fans

Get plenty of protein, OP has clearly already had his share of it.

Metroidvanias are usually boring anyway, especially the Castlevania ones. You gotta level up but enemy placement is boring and poses no threat so you end up doing some combination of walking forward while mashing attack and just walking past/through things to get it over with. The worst part is that it works. If someone's gonna try something relatively undone with the core idea, then why the fuck not.

worked pretty great in odin sphere

>>384861541
super metroid never had this "level up" thing

Why did the artist make her look so fat ingame? her legs and ass don't look right.

Fuck you, I do what I want.

Good game.

>>384863072
That wasn't a metroidvania, it was a shitty beatem up on a 2d plane

>>384862986
Enemies are supposed to be obstacles and ways to level up and farm gear. They're not supposed to be hard. I don't want some ninja gaiden shit with the enemies fucking me up all game long. Metroidvania means you level and gear up and fucking rekt their shit.

>>384861541
Just convince them to make a reskinned Super Metroid. Can't really go wrong there, as long as you're able to pull off proper atmosphere and exploration. A couple good artists should be able to handle that, tho.

>>384861541
This thread is eerily reminiscent of the old limb-based fighting game threads. Takes me back. Have I been here too long?

>>384863185
yeah, he is a hack developer, didn't even have anything to do with sotn despite claiming that he created it, kek.

Don't worry though, we will seen this proven when bloodstained comes out and ends up complete dog shit, despite being developed by the "godfather" of metroidvanias

>>384863076
Super Metroid isn't Metroidvania. It's just Metroid. No vania pollution.

>>384863568
its inafune all over again...

wtf did iga actually do then for sotn?

but the way it sticks out looks wrong, like some shit from a rap video

>>384865149

The way what sticks out? her thighs? Yes, its an exaggeration. But its not making her overweight. You do get that it's a depiction of a fantasy race, right? It's like complaining some elves have long ears because the artist took liberties.

how the hell is a woman a fantasy race? and elves look stupid with long ears, look at any anime, Japanese game, Korean mmo, or blizzard game. Tolkien specifically stated elves had leaf shaped ears, same shape as humans but with a slight pointy tip.

You're on /v/ and you're asking why we would think of women as a fantasy race?

>>384865684

>how the hell is a woman a fantasy race?
Look up what an Amazon is.

>Tolkien specifically stated elves had leaf shaped ears, same shape as humans but with a slight pointy tip.
Tolkien didn't invent elves. There are depictions of elves before and after the Lord of the Rings with long, pointed ears. As well as short elves (like the typical Christmas elf). Tolkien himself created an idealized version of elves.

>>384866030
Long ears is a post Tolkien creation inspired from Japanese anime and blizzard. I highly doubt there were Nordic or Irish tales of elves with longass ears.

>>384861541

>How can I get this dev team to scrap this shit and make a real metroidvania?

Write a report where you go into detail (with examples) why X won't work while offering solution Y and explain why your solution will result in stronger gameplay.
Have them read it.
Then if they're still not convinced have *them* argue for having the beat-em-up style combat and tell them that this is about making the best game they can make, not ego.

If they still won't listen then keep working on the game, later add it to your resume when it's finished and leave for another company. Or leave right now.
Working with unreasonable people in game development seldom works out.

>>384866203

>anime and blizzard invented long ears
There are fantasy books and drawing made around Tolkines time that depict elves with long ears, as a mistranslation of what Tolkien meant by 'leaf shaped ears'. But also influences from other mythical beings such as pixies and faries, who often are depicted with long ears even befor Tolkiens time.

Blizzard's design took heavy inspiration from the covers of cheap fantasy literature, which were alterations of Tolkien style designs. Anime took inspiration from the these same sources and went in a new direction with it.

>If it's not a Metrovania, it's shit
Vanillaware has actually innovated on 2D games where Konami and Nintendo are stuck in the year 1997.
