Just because you can jack off to the character portraits doesn't mean it's good looking, every screenshot of this game is an absolute mess
What makes you say that, I think pic related looks fine until you get to the furthest layer which is basically unfinished
is there an AI to generate back layer landscape art like that? like you draw a basic shape and it fills it in with painted art.
because devs spend so much time on that shit an no one even looks at it.
who ever was in charge of perspective in this game was a fricking moron.
the 3D becground is a radically different angle from the character. they completely fricked it.
Shantae HGH does this look way better.
ori?
hollow knight?
wario land shake it
>ori?
I like the game but the visuals look like AI generated "epic" nature wallpapers
>hollow knight?
Looks like Flash ass
>wario land shake it
Just barely gets by due to the cartoony appeal just like Cuphead, does that mean it only works with explicitly cartoony styles?
Show 10 flash games that look like HK. And they must not be inspired by HK.
Why
It sucks, and anything by Vanillaware or Amanita Design is objectively miles better anyway.

Your taste fricking sucks

Projection
Were you bred specifically to barf out expressions you were taught by the internet? That one doesn't even apply you fricking mongoloid.
It does, you have terrible taste and you're projecting it onto me
Thank you for proving you don't know anything about psychological projection. Stop spouting things you think you learned from the internet without ever checking what they actually mean.
Psychological projection is about feelings about yourself you don't want to confront. Me thinking you have bad taste is an opinion, not a feeling. I would have had to get into a confrontation with you and developed feelings of insecurity about my own taste in order to project them onto you, I simply said outright that your tastes suck because they do. Indivisible is crap and the aesthetic of the games you dismissed are much better.
>Me thinking you have bad taste is an opinion, not a feeling
Opinion born out of your insecurity and lack of confidence in your taste
>Indivisible is crap and the aesthetic of the games you dismissed are much better.
And you are wrong and you know it since you can't actually explain yourself and just resort to baseless claims, whereas I understand what I'm talking about since I understand the matter being discussed
I'm revoking your epic trolling licence
what about supergiant games (Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, Hades)
They look good but the sprites do that "rotoscoped 3D model" thing that makes them look like cel shaded 3D rather than actual 2D
you are correct they use sprites from 3d models, but it's still 2d. iirc their games straight up don't have any 3d assets at all
There is no real difference between rotoscoped 3D and real 3D in games if the camera is static unless you do some major frame editing or frick with the framerate to make something that moves in a new way. The whole point of the thread is that just drawing sprites always makes them feel flat and slide-y whereas pixel art feels locked in and real, but tracing 3D is a copout to finding a real solution (2D sprites that feel like part of the world like pixel sprites).
Brown tomboy spats
The game would have been better if the script was good. The MC is insufferable and the game throws too many characters at your too quickly.
Ajna and Thorani at the same time.
is this really on the game?
Yes. The game feels like it was intended to be much longer with a huge story but everything had to be cut short and was thrown together in the last minute. There are a bunch of weird and out of place narrative changes.
>fantasy adventure with a cute tomboy who can turn into some Indian goddess
>suddenly enter a somewhat modern city where everyone is on drugs
>local big bad is an ugly bastard - one of your main team member (Thorani), a super hot, waterbender, healer, surrogate mom, once deity was close to
>said surrogate mom is also playing for both teams and disturbingly fond of you (Ajna) - who could be her daughter
>but the actual big bad is an insane metal bird who kills the previous big bad after you beat him then you have to come back and beat him again only to see how he kills himself
This is just a little fraction of the story.
>not a single ugly bastard fan art
lame.
There isn't even any good Throani x Ajna art when Thorani is borderline molesting Ajna at certain points in the story.
Holy shit Thorani is so hot, completely wasted on the game and her character suffers by being an Enabler to Ajna's bad decisions.
Maybe because I have seen some shit in my life but I liked Ajna is a frickup. Thorani is also someone I can sympathize with. I'm bored of good guys being the moral compass for everyone all the time.
I agree, what sucks for me in the game is that the only person who seem to care that Ajna is fricking things up are Dhar and iirc Zebei, you have like 20+ people being around to witness all the shitty things that Ajna does and only like 4 have something to say about it, and only 1 or 2 of those 4 say it's bad.

Sit down white boy
The style of the 2d backgrounds in this game still live in my head rentfree.
I played it for the first time last year and it's genuinely the best looking game I've ever played. Was really cool to see all of the MI2 recurring characters redone in this style as well.
Have you played A Vampyre Story? The art is by the same guy (Bill Tiller). It's short and unfinished, from what I remember, but it's still a decent adventure game.
I haven't, but I'm going to check it out based on this alone.
>best looking non-pixel art 2D game ever
hahahahhah. You actually think this shit looks good? Unreal, are you indian? Play a Vanillaware game or something you dumb Black person.
sweaty brown tomboy soles
>best looking non-pixel art 2D game ever (barring Cuphead)
>released in an unfinished state by its developers because Mike Z bad
Indivisible is far from perfect, but I enjoyed it. It's a pity we will never get a continuation. I also love brown girls and the game is full of them.
>he enjoyed button mashing in random battles every 20 steps that last 3 minutes everytime
go back to sucking dicks on reddit
The art skill and general style are there, and I like Ganker theoretically miles above Ganker stuff but Ganker stuff usually has no good artists, or sadly in this case its ruined with wokeslop designs, so it ends up losing to japshit.
Monster Boy has been on my wishlist for years, but I've heard people complaining about the shitty platforming.
What game? Looks great
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap

Okay, lets break this down. Because Indivisible deserved to fail, and it did. So lets point at why.
First off. Artstyle is inconsistent. Easy issue to notice, there's too many designs that clash and blatently unfinished assets thrown in. If Skullgirls pull this sort of shit, it would of suffered too.
2. Tumblr shit. Straight up there were several designs that immediately broke immersion, or were straight up tumblr homosexualry embodied. Skullgirls dipped it's toes in, but generally speaking it was outside the game or very much a side character that you weren't seeing very often. Like maybe 1-2 slides at most. While here you just get them thrown at you.
And their dialogue fricking sucks. Their design sucks, and it fricks with the game actively.
3. Godawful writing. It's an rpg. Or something. But the writing is piss poor, it's just terrible. It feels like Wakfu if it was dropped on it's head and hasn't got a strong focused core to carry on. From the team that made Skullgirls, it's shocking how much of a downgrade it was.
4. The biggest issue. The gameplay sucks. Too many ideas, not enough focus. And the core gameplay was terrible. In battle, they wanted a fighting game like reactive move system mixed in with an RPG system. But instead of achieving either, they achieved none and the gameplay is not only brain dead, it's boring as you just press a button and do damage.
Overworld had low end metroidvania mechanics.
And that's about it.
Game suffered from extreme scope creep, and a lack of focus. And too many compromises from everyone involved in a desperate bid to try and make money after getting fricked over by a previous publisher.
This game failing is directly what led to Mike Z getting Caesar'd.
I didn't know about this but I was thinking the same when I was playing it. Shame because I really grow fond of a handful of characters, especially Ajna and I really liked the voice acting too. The npcs were backers or something? Their design felt like someone made up. A bunch of abilities felt too much (like two dashes? really?) I think they could have done way more with less. When I accidentally dash spear jumped and realized it carries over the dash transformation I felt really cool only to realise there will be a dedicated movie for it later.
Still I had dirty fantasies about Ajna and Thorani so I remember to it somewhat fondly. Clunky indie projects is my dirty pleasure.
Hades looks way better than this.
Shame Hades is only 4 levels repeated over and over for like 100 hours. Rougelike is a mistake. Give me a full campaign like Bastion.
>nooo, i associate it with cheapness if the art isn't made of squares!
Nintendo knows 2D looks flat and soulless, that's why they went all in on the idea with Paper Mario
That's a nice inky brush
>make Valkyrie Profile but make it suck
lmao
worked for enix
this game is so beautiful but the gameplay is so boring
I only know this character from seeing porn of her mouth getting fish hooked by the guy pounding her ass from behind.
I heard the game was mid and that's it.
>Cuphead
That game’s art was disgusting, like it was made by someone with serious mental health issues. If you liked it please get yourself checked out for schizophrenia or psychosis.
>he doesn't like rubberhose
Meh I think it looks kinda shitty compared to the Ori games and Hollow Knight as well.
