While idk if I’d call BOTW perfect,,, this video is still a pretty great breakdown of its visuals and what makes them work so well! Check it out!!!

I just found your video and I loved it! It was so insightful!

Ive studied cel shading as a visual style for a long time. But I’d never considered how a muted color palette makes the saturated elements pop so well! Definitely something I’m gonna think about next time I’m color grading my game!

This is extremely true. They should put a warning on those thangs. That or cover them in foam or something.

Congratulations!!! That’s so deserved. Your game had one of the most fun gameplay loops I played at DreamHack, and I’m really happy to see it get recognized.

Do you draw these sprites all by yourself?

That’s a good plan! I don’t know how experienced you are, but make sure to add your own little twists as you go. You learn way more by experimenting and breaking things than just following steps. Most of what clicked for me came from tweaking tutorial projects to my liking.

Ooo, that’s really cool!

Any chance you have or plan to have any playable demos anywhere πŸ‘€

Does it look pretty? Or is it too distracting?

After playing Silksong, I was awe-struck by the use of parallax to create depth and environments that felt alive. It inspired me to apply it to Firefly. What do we think? Cool enough to polish all the old levels like this, or should we focus on building new ones?

Idk about your phone but the only laggy part on mine is sometimes the lock screen passcode is slow to load.

But I’m with ya 1000% about the macOS implementation. By far my biggest disappointment after playing with it on my phone is how seldom used and half baked the effect feels on my laptop
