MALADROITHIM'S PROFILE

Yeah, but he put very little effort into the graphics there. I was pretty pleased with all the extra little animations he did outside of battle, but default battle characters + default battle animations = >:(

Honestly, I was having a lot more fun figuring out how to solve each puzzle. Then a wolf or some chicken would be standing where I needed to be, and I'd be like :(

The argument is that if he had put a lot of "effort" into his graphics by plagiarizing SNES RPGs, the result would not have been measurably much better. The practice of ripping and making minor edits and in general putting a whole lot of work into something that neither looks good *or* original is a retarded practice. Brickroad was well aware of this and decided to focus on game design instead. There is, in fact, quite a lot of work put into the game (way more than I think many people can imagine).

HOWEVER this is an example of a back-loaded game that actually sucks a lot for quite awhile. The game doesn't hit its stride until the desert mega dungeon, which is several hours in. People say the same thing about The Way, I guess, but since Brickroad didn't use a 3D modelling program to make low-tech pre-rendered backdrops nobody was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Brickroad is a huge jerk and is pretty mean to everyone and I think that might have had a negative impact on his game's popularity. This is an excellent game!

Looking at official Zero suit samus art, your head to body ratio is a little bit head-heavy. But it only looks that way because she's got sprawling long legs.

Well the official Samus also has size 15 feet so I think that we should leave some room for interpretation.

Looks good WIP. This is made using ika isn't it?

I think you are misunderstanding. WIP is making something to MAKE games with, not an actual game.

For some reason that sketch reminds me of that scene in Superbad where the kid is complaining about how he used to draw dicks all the time and then you see like a dick superhero and a dick cowboy and a dick having sex with another dick.

Anyway you're pretty good at drawing man!
