I've been iterating on this design for a while and finally tried to make it in 3D. I'm trying to imitate the art style of Final Fantasy 12 and the Playstation 2, but I'm struggling to make it look authentic. Feedback very much appreciated.
It's not up to the "industry 3" to innovate, they are console developers first and foremost. The metroidvania genre has been done and improved on ever since super metroid, mario 64 was a great game when it came out, but we've had many fantastic 3d platformers since then, including psychonauts. People are also quick to hate…
