PUZZLE 2D PLATFORMER with 3D DYNAMIC BOSS FIGHT
(Dark Souls, Shadows of Collosus, Darksiders)

Maybe he dreamt himself up, birthed from the first spark, within his own creative consciousness. Maybe something greater breathed him to life. The truth is without a doubt beyond our humble reach and stretches past all philosophical considerations. And it might be better this way. From a thought he conjured up the Void. From a glance, he made the world. And from a whisper, he created us.


For his kingdom, the first word came in a whisper. Before knowing what the sky, a mountain or a river was, this word echoed within our souls. From our birth to our last breath, we would serve and protect Hypnos.


Among countless wonders of his creation, we thought we will live and dream forever.

Low effort post.

Why did these guys steal the twig legs from Necropolis? It looks so weird compared to everything else.

Write why you think it's interesting, get a quote from the kickstarter that highlights the game in some way, etc.

Also the game looks very floaty. The 2D platformer stages (?!) especially.

The game feel. The air time is too long, he doesn't seem to land with much certainty, the hit detection seems off and delayed.

I haven't played it, so it's just a guess.

except for the stupid thin-cone legs, the art looks pretty solid

the switching from traditional 2d platforming to regular 3d could become annoying. interesting concept, nonetheless.

oh, and it most definitely needs better combat animations, both for character movement and weapon swings (and i hope that sword is not the only available weapon) 'cause now it looks like a Q2 mod.

could be good, but it will likely be shit :(

I don't like the idea of alternating between 2d sidescroller and tpp, seems like unnecessary, tryhard carp. Pick one "mode" and focus on making the solid gameplay - platforming, bossfights, puzzles or whatever... :?

They've stated Shadow of the Colossus is their inspiration for boss fights so they have added 2.5D sidescroller.

Some questions answered.

With Shattered containing 2D platofrming, puzzles and 3D boss fights, how much does each respective element take? What, if any, challenges does combing three different elements present?
Skill systems seem to be everywhere these days. What’s the process behind trying to make sure Shattered’s RPG offerings work within the game?
The impact of crowd funding, along with the indie boom, has seen video games grow in multiple ways. Triple A games no longer dominate the market, leaving spaces for smaller games to grow. Is this the best time to be a independent game developer/studio?
The Square Enix Collective has come under fire for taking 5% from the final crowd funded amount. As a developer working with them, how do they explain such elements to you?

Another overdesigned, top-down, mechanics last, completely misguided "game" by shithipsters.

I fucking hate videogames.
