I think with Shovel Knight, people just asked and they said yes to everything.

I can't imagine the same thing happening with Mina where people are knocking on YC's door. Shovel Knight came early enough where there wasn't many high profile faux-retro games so Shovel Knight stood out. The market is over saturated with it now that Mina is just lost in the noise. The only thing that makes it stand out are people shouting "BUT THEY MADE SHOVEL KNIGHT!". And look how well that work for Penny's Big Breakaway with people shouting "BUT THEY MADE SONIC MANIA!"
>>

>>731153724
ehhhhhh, Shovel Knight spread WAY too far that I can't see it being entirely them being asked, especially since they had the fucking gall to kickstart Mina's game when they should've had mucho dinero(hats off to retards buying expensive studios in CA!), you'd think they didn't get paid a dime for spreading SK all over the place
fucking board games and dumbass phone app games and a gajillion cameos(they did donate to Mike G's dumpster fire uhhh Indivisible or whatever)
Penny was by and large just a very ugly character that I have no idea got past any QA

>“Typically with our cameos the developers have reached out to us as they were excited about the possibilities of having Shovel Knight in their worlds. It’s really thrilling for us to see Shovel Knight in new environments, so we’re happy to be a part of the fun. Honestly, we usually don’t have to do much from our end as all the developers we’ve worked with have been top notch and very respectful of the IP."

Shovel Knight was basically an indie darling at the time of release. Everyone wanted to ride the wave. Yacht Club's policy of them saying yes to everyone that asked made it an easy inclusion to numerous projects. That's probably one of the many reasons why these niggas are broke because they didn't know how to milk their cash cow.

That was not Penny's major issue. Evening Star bright idea to follow up the rep they built off of Sonic Mania was to go radio silent for years and not tell anyone shit. By the time their project was ready to show off, they only did the absolute bare minimum and uploaded a couple of music clips on their social channels. And when it finally came to releasing the game, they didn't fucking tell anyone and just shadow dropped itz despite the majority of the gaming press gassing them up a few weeks before release with previews (one of the only times they actually promoted it).

People just did not know that fucking game exists because Evening Star did nothing to tell the world they're still alive. The same thing is happening here where Yacht Club did nothing in-between Shovel Knight and Mona. Yeah, they published some flops and spin offs under their label and they made some expansions, but those all flew under the radar because its not a next major game. They should have had some B-Team make Shovel Knight 2 (NOT Shovel Knight 3D because they clearly weren't ready) while they worked on Mona. This studio is horribly mismanaged, its amazing they lasted this long.

Seconding that Pipistrello is really good. Pipistrello is good enough to the point that I feel like it ate Mina's lunch. I played the Mina demo and it was alright but the feel of the controls was worse. I'm not sure how you scopecreep a 2d Zelda knockoff this badly.

The crazy thing is that decomp means you can absolutely make cracked as fuck GBC games right now for free with minimal programming knowledge.

I think I realize the problem with Mina's design. She wasn't with in-game graphics in mind. In game, she looks like a mess of pixels wearing a giant cloak. This is not how things were done back in the day, as Mario famously looks like he does to improve clarity during gameplay.

Mina was designed using fancy high-res graphics first and later ported to the game. That is NOT how good devs do things.

Granted, the game doesn't look like it should cost more than 10, 15 if they feel especially greedy... but it honestly looks interesting.
The style choices of a game are honestly worthless to me unless they impair the way the game plays, such as being unoptimized... but if the gameplay is tight I don't give much of a fuck.

It was $20 for the kickstarter backers so there's no way it'll be cheaper than that. Arguably won't be any cheaper than $25 unless they want their backers to feel cheated.

Her design is still far too complicated for the graphics. Just look at her sprite - it looks nothing like her. She needs a WAY simpler design. A regular mouse wearing just a bow (to show she's a girl) would have worked far better.

Them saying the artstyle is GBC inspired feels very insulting when you look at the actual Gameboy Color games of the time. I wish with all my heart that this game flops

Most feedback I've seen them get in places that aren't here was positive. It's odd because despite that the delay is clearing something to do with the demo given the timing. Maybe a bunch of people un-wish listed it after playing the demo and just didn't say anything about it publicly.

Notice the Hamtaro game increased the character sprite size so it looks good on a low-res display. Hamtaro is about 1/6 screen height, while Mina is about 1/9. Mina's sprite is way too squished.

Reminder that actual GBC, when in talented hands, was capable of looking extremely good.
Pokemon Card GB was not only a technical marvel in several ways, but also an artistic one once you consider that each and every card in the game utilizes precisely 4 colors, no more and no less.

I don't understand this obsession. Widescreen is a good thing. Limited color palette is a good thing but strictly adhering to the '3 colors per tile' is stupid.

I'm not saying art is an exact science but I think Mina and Shovel Knight pull it off well and you guys are just haters for the sake of it.

Sincere question: why care for that? None of the new games merely emulating old styles claim they are authentic homebrew, while matters of performance/size are largely orthogonal to "can technically be run on specific old hardware". Visuals and controls are often a question of skill and budget, and considering the sheer scale of available computing power, it's very hard to do something truly novel and impressive on "artistic or technical level", and thus many limits are self-imposed. Actual design is a more relevant measure of quality of the game, and that is not something you can convey through screenshots alone.
This is not an excuse for dogshit memory management or vomit-inducing art, but it is silly to draw the line at adherence to prior hardware limitations.
