strongly tied to genetics does not imply strongly heritable just a HU (heads-up)

AA will necessarily have the opposite effect that it's supposed to against some backgrounds (unless it's actual semitransparent pixels), so only do it if the sprite is only going to appear against very similar background colors throughout the game. In this case it doesn't work regardless because the antialiasing is only external, so the black lines appear jagged and broken. Either way I think the sprite is a bit too small for it to be effective.
As for the left one I'm not sure what you intend with the double outline, the sprite would look better if you just removed it.

well I won't look a gift game in the mouth

ban him if the game isn't completed within a month

a very nice austrian got me into the breach so now I'm playing that and it's very good

maybe I'm way out of touch with idiot Gamer Culture but I don't think people see specific seller of the games they play as some kind of exclusive investment the same way one might with a several hundred dollars piece of hardware. am I missing something?

I do agree the situation is way different today than when Steam was starting out. Epic will have to grow much faster than Steam did if they want to be competitive.

Steam already has a lot of players and their pokets. If Epic Store has few players, it's hard that the developers can make money there. even if the store will have only the 12%

digital stores aren't consoles

looks like a better production than most sonic games of the past two decades

thank god we had the foresight to ban him

I disagree

awesome whale awesome shader
the unprintable rgb range neon glow breaks the watercolor look a bit but also looks cool as heck

just dropping in here to mention how the USA has the most expensive healthcare in the world while having a higher child mortality rate and shorter life expectancy than cuba (far far behind western europe and other rich countries).

all that building looks like the worst possible game experience

none; separate universe,

what are the implications of this for the zelda timeline

Awesome! Video options are often lacking in pixel art games and it always makes me happy seeing people putting in that effort

Would you also add the option for straight bilinear scaling? I personally think that's ugly but I know a few people prefer it for some reason

In the name of wholesomeness I choose to parse it as extremely enthusiastic high-fiving :]

This is cute as heck

nobody gives a fuck

If I were aware of Monument Valley and then saw your game I'd 100% take it for a cheap attempt at cashing in on being mistakable for a better known product, and I don't think I'm alone in having that reaction, regardless of your intention. To avoid that I think you'd be better off trying to differentiate. Make it look like its own thing rather than an inferior copy.
