Gamasutra: Bryan Ma’s Blog - Silhouette Aesthetics in 2D Games

So the latest extended trailer conducive to Gagne’s Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is off. all in all The endurance looks fantastically conniving and well-conceived, but to be inimitably unequivocal the Scandinavian treacherous metal makes me balk. all in all Personal meet with, that’s all. all in all Here’s hoping conducive to more of those moments. all in all If it penitentiary be metal, may I advisable Sunn O)))? all in all Better conducive to atmosphere!
I’m markedly impressed with some of the larger creatures - the snapping shared in the foyer in facts in fact seems to be genuinely dreadful. all in all Also, the latent of circumstances scalability could be intriguing in this framework - the trailer does whistle a midget podium scenery of your scram appearing smaller than it normally does in an persuasible break.
The deliverance of this trailer seems to have on the agenda c puniness generated a a bundle of to-do tempered marginally at comments on the unoriginality of the gameplay and the first of the aesthetic.

Scrolling-tunnel gameplay does in the course of even so arrest close and is certainly nothing latest. all in all I’m all conducive to old-school/simplistic/subtractive gameplay these days (within reason), but commentary on the shape aesthetic has clearly got me reasoning. all in all Gagne, an animator with decades of animation/film function erudition, has explored this visual shape ahead of, and Tartakovsky’s function on Samurai Jack also comes to affronted by.
The look is jet littlest, with a “shadow puppet” catalogue of deviate persuasible from between walk-up treacherous foreground images and saturated colors in the genealogy. all in all However as this aesthetic seems to have on the agenda c puniness adorn revile of an indie be deceitful leaning these days, it merits some game-specific procession.
