Love it! The music is so catchy :D

Love that old school RPG vibes! I'm wondering: why is it called pillars of salt? :D

thanks for your help, I will head over there!

Ah I see! Thanks for sharing the photo. Seems like it's also written in a way that let's you sometimes get the meaning of the word from the context :D

Thanks for sharing your experience! I wouldn't want to do it on a large scale, but I've toyed with the idea some time now. I've read that original cartridges are not rewriteable. So, did you replace the ROMs with flash memories yourself? Or is there another way?

Yes I agree, you can definitely see that they had more budget and wanted to put it to use in all of those fancy cinematics xD

The whole thing about finding or having your voice is very fascinating. You can often very clearly hear it, but it's hard to find the right words to describe it. Must be certain hamonies or melodic concepts in the end.

The progressive translation bit sounds very interesting. I've never seen that before :D How is it? I imagine it being a very unusual experience to read.

Man, you really have such a strong musical voice. I can hear it in all your pieces even if they use completely different instruments. How do you do that? :D

Wow you really nailed that art style. Reminds me strongly of the Game Boy era. But there's also some modern element to it that I can't quite pinpoint.

Wow that's so cool! How did you make the physical cartridges? Must have been quite tricky!

Oh what's that about? :D

Awesome! How did you like Ori? It's one of my favorites :)

Ah yes, I can see that too :D

This looks really great! So many different sections and it all comes so well together

Yes that's great!

Like it! You could improve readability a bit tho.

Didn't even know these kinds of devices existed and had to google it ๐Ÿ˜… But I love that sound! How do you set it up - does it work with Midi?

Awesome that you know your way around music as well :D

I would have thought it's more like "you choose your colors in the beginning and stick to them". But now I see it makes way more sense to do it like this! As with music, iterating multiple drafts is worth it!

Truly luxurious! What inspired you to draw a jet interior? :D

Damn you really know how to make compelling color palettes!

19.12.2024 15:23 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

To me (as a major noob when it comes to art) it's especially interesting to see how often the colors change throughout the process!

Man you're killing me, stop being so funny xD

Wow, this is great concept art! Being set on the edge of this waterfall creates such an epic feeling. But it also looks like it has been there since ancient times and probably has a rich history to offer.

Your game looks so nice! Just checked your Steam out and I love that you're going for a unique combat system! (Tho I do not 100% understand yet ^^)
