So, I finally got around to this and so far, it's pretty fucking great.

Still, it's got me thinking about Castlevania and the possibility of the series making a return to the Metroidvania style eventually. I like the hand drawn look but generally prefer pixel/sprite based work.

Is that kind of work just too difficult and expensive now? When I say pixel art, I don't mean shit like Dead Cells, I mean shit like SotN and Metal Slug; pixel art designed to convey detail and movement and look very animated, etc.

It seems like 2.5D is just cheaper than a proper pixel based game since most devs opt for that when possible. Is that the case? I know pixel artists are becoming less and less common.

How much work went into Sonic Mania? Is Taxman the last of a dying breed?

tbqh i thought it was too difficult for my tastes and i could have done without the obligatory lose-your-souls-on-death mechanic that now appears on every game since demon souls. i'm not generally faulting the game for being difficult and i don't think damage or deaths were necessarily unfair, but personally i started to lose interest in retreading the same areas 20 times because the boss has an insane healthbar and failed attempts to heal still use mana

Does your geo get lost permanently if you die again? I've never not retrieved it.

Draw something with your hand.
Takes two seconds and usually looks alright.

Try that with pixel work and it's a hot mess. Pixel work is hard as fuck and complicated.

There is no healthbars

Yes.

Do I need a controller for this?

I'm not one to cry "shill", but I've always found these Hollow Knight posts to be suspect.

It's a Metroidvania with good art, gameplay, music and way way more content than the average indie game. Game's just good.
Takes me back to Cave Story in a lot of ways, although it isn't free.
