​@@retrolightgames I love the idea of the game. I feel like the game is a bit too pixelated. It looks very pixelated on my phone screen, I can't imagine how large the pixel will look on a 27inch monitor or a 55 inch TV. The games lighting is very cool though

Hey amazing job! By judging your thumbnail, I wasn't expecting this Maybe show the protagonist doing some tricks in the thumbnail? I don't know I think it's important the thumbnail catches the vibe of the game / shows something important in the game. Here, your protagonist is just crouching and shooting at someone. Maybe spice it up by showing him doing insane tricks while killing the other dude :) Anyway, again: amazing job! I'll follow your project :)

honestly, I'm getting this as soon as you guys are ready to release. the game looks smooth, the pixel shader contrasts really well with the cyberpunk setting. The combat system is really fluid and satisfying, and the aesthetic reminds me a lot of Katana Zero (as well as the bullet time scenes). Great job so far

"but it also runs the risk of looking like old crappy graphics" LOL i laughed so hard at that part haha, as someone the same age i understand completely...we have a strong nostalgia for the visuals we grew up with, but more often then not, the indies that attempt the low poly look typically look like old crappy graphics.. it's kinda like with pixel art, there were so many devs who just aimed at snes like graphics but they always were passed on and at the end of the day weren't really that special, but it's the ones that learned to incorporate it with modern day tech, that make it shine. like look at square enix, they are the KING of remaking games at the moment, no company has more remake styles than them. if you look at their HD-2D style, it was a beautiful way of solving pixel art to make it pop and feel modern without making it adhere the limitations of the past, they did it again with the new star ocean 2nd story r, they incorporated 2d characters with 3d landscapes and its absolutely BEAUTIFUL, as long as you can make the low poly, compliment modern techniques well, youve got it. and seeing what you've been doing with the lighting, tells me you're almost there! keep it up bro this looks legit!

This is so cool! You might want to take an inspiration from the game called bullestorm, it was a shooter with crazy and edgy named kill based combo system. With that in mind you can consider adding some crazier kill-centered combos. Stuff like x3 score when you shoot enemies in the knees first so the all of them kneel in front of you. Name the combo "pray for life" if you killed one and "mass murder" for multikill (mass - as in churches) and you get a lil bit controversial and edgy cool type of combos providing replay value around "how creatively you can kill them all this time" idea

Smart on the spawn boxes as this is something done in older games. But there's also this really cool thing called object culling that makes it so anything not seen by the camera doesn't get rendered and therefor doesn't affect performance. Also, I actually didn't mind the way the old version looked, but the new version is an upgrade no doubt! Awesome work! Looks fun as hell!!!
