my response to your response did have an attitude to it that I don't think u deserved so that's my bad. your takeaway from my post should be that I think it looks interesting and I want to see where it goes. I failed to communicate that because I sandwiched the (diminished as it was) compliment with negativity because this is the blockland forum and I am not accustomed to being nice on here but that's stupid so I am sorry for that!!! the art looks good and whether there is a familiarity to terraria or any terraria-inspired games doesn't really matter
my bad; sorta get irritated by the comparison since everything from the first concept art of the game to the music got compared to it. i can alleviate the blow sort of with gameplay and vfx, but most of the issue is that it's a 2d sandbox game with alien oc races so i can't really do much in regard to that
i spoke to another developer friend of mine who's developing another tile based 2d platformer and they get the comparisons too, so there's no winning here. it's been used a lot negatively and is the first and only thing i get from most people at this point when i show them any visual part of the game. i suppose i should just not let it get to me like you said and continue developing until it only becomes a positive, ig
concept art that got compared being uhhh


the song is pretty cool also. the drums feel a bit loud compared to everything else, but I imagine that's easily modified if it's not the intended outcome
easily modified, but i don't have mixing equipment so it'll take some feedback to get everything up to scratch with my like $5 sony headphones; i've had this issue with a few other things, like the wip main menu song
