Using a screenshot of Stardew while quoting a developer saying it takes money and staff to finish a project is diabolical

That’s not Stardew Valley

That’s further proving @[email protected]’s point.

The 8/16but style is overused I feel. Don’t get me wrong I liked the look of it, but every indie game out there uses it.

The SVG style is still relatively new and it’s much easier to animate.

If you’re going to stick with pixel art aesthetic then you want to do something to differentiate your game from all of the others, such as having more animation frames and going for the Prince of Persia look.

Stardew Valley totally would have taken staff and money if you can’t live in your parent’s house forever. edit: I didn’t want it to sound mean towards Barone, it’s great what his family did for him, but this game was made possible with a very strong support net – a luxury not many have.

No idea why you’re being downvoted, the guy who created Stardew literally had his wife take care of his whole life for him while he was working on it.

I also thought it was Stardiew but after 3 seconds looking it’s evident it’s not.
