#2It's funny to me when people apologize for not being artists when they've produced actually nice looking art. It's like a host saying "excuse the mess" when entering their nearly immaculate home.
I wish I had kept some of my game development experiments because then I could show you what actual bad art looks like!

I was thinking the same thing and actually thought they should continue building it. It looks like a great game!

#4As someone who has tried and failed at many points throughout the years at building a game I couldn't agree more with "Build a game, not a game engine" it's hard not to get sucked into the game engine black hole though.

I should have included a disclaimer -- I agree that textures and sprites are excellent, but they come from asset packs (for this same reason I cannot redistribute them in the source release). Only the crossbow placeholder is self-made.
I don't have any issue with paid asset packs, I would gladly build the entire game with third-party art, but there is only so much of it in the necessary style, resolution and quality.

#6> Don’t get stuck on assets. Make a quick placeholder when necessary
Need this tattooed in my ADHD brain. Assets are such a rabbithole

Its depends what you like. Usually programmers focus more on game engine part, while designers on the other. And thats why is hard to make game solo :)
Galaxial developer fall into that hole too. Too bad, because alphas looks absolutly super great.

#8TONC is amazing. I learned so much from it.

#9Shockingly enough it is actually possible to do decent ray casting and much more on the GBA despite the incredibly minimal compute budget.
Joshua Barretto has been working on a GBA port of Super Mario 64 with entire 3D levels, characters, and movements. In my opinion just incredible work:
