The problem is that most are not professionals and do not have the talent to do that. Some don't have the drive or even the imagination to do so. It's a hard thing that not many people develop.
A lot of styles and revivalism were a bit like that, until vaporwave happened and they thought doing a throwback meant they should ape the old styles as hauntology or set-aesthetic.
I'm an economic leftist but CARI descriptions are pretentious nonsense, e.g. how minimalist Y2K style labelled as 'Gen X Soft Club' by them is said to be a 'coloniser' style - how is the style coloniser? Also I don't think average graphic designer overthink their inspiration too much. Art ebbs and flows and mix into each other. These specific styles were never static thing in time and influenced each other. These people are so obsessed with things being neatly defined and categorised and only to be imitated in 'ironic' way (vaporwave was inherently ironic internet movement). As almost a mockery of old art.
And tech needs who are autistic.
subreddits like eggirl and 196 were filling with that tranny with shitty edits or memes, like xhe was their totem
Imagine the gunt, imagine the smell.The reason I mention this is I went a bit deeper into the rabbit hole and found out one the designers, DV-i, who helped with the graphics for the "Virtual Self" project ended up trooning out years later after the pandemic.

Given that it looks identical to all the modern troonslop that doesn't actually know what older 3D graphics looked like, I'd say so.
textures that are way too clean for the models a high-enough poly count to feel uncanny with the lack of detail esoteric meaningless bullshit to make it feel "deep" needlessly cluttered interfaces and backgrounds because Cruelty Squad (except in this one case) extremely forced and unfitting "early internet" weebisms in regular dialogue complete lack of tonal consistency (especially Marvelesque "uwu so quirky" dialogue during serious moments) little to no consideration given towards tone or themes beyond the usual college-student slop (muh capitalism/colonialism/racism/-ism bad) if any is given at all
With these types of games you notice the pattern of the same talking points over and over and over and over again. It makes it easier from a game search to spot them and ignore them but to be a little blanket for a second this is the internet issues over the past decades of "everyone has a voice". It's a stigma that has rotted over the years which boiled down to all these supposedly different people walking up to the mic and go "racism and capitalism are bad". Don't offer a different perspective it's just regurgitated talking points over and over and over again no matter what game it is they talk about the same things but in the same exact way.
This is the philosophy i follow since there's a lot of stupid opinions i personally have (and probably have told on this website lol) but for the most part I keep them to myself. Not everyone wants to hear every little thought of every single person.
It's nice to try and inspire people to create with that sentiment, but for everyone who just enjoys games it eventually changes. Everyone has a voice, but not everyone is worth listening to. And it also shows how many people copy/paste their homework from wikipedia articles.
I actually think neo-retro is shit for exactly the opposite reason, they fail to do what those retro designers did using their limited resources, much less improve on them. This is particularly the case in roguelikes and roguelites, where they rarely capture the complexities of even a relatively simple hack-and-slash like Rogue much less the obsessive completionism of Nethack.
Lol. Anyway, hope this is a trend, troons getting their brakes beaten.
I won't be surprised if Billie Bust Up goes out this way. Dispute as faggy as their development team.
Looks like A Hat in Time but furry and gayer
Why is there no texture filtering? Old video games would never have these ugly pixelated textures and even newer pixel art games actually try to make it look appealing. Also, old games used to draw lots of details onto characters to make them look cool. Notice how with JC you can see the lines on his face, the reflections on his skin, individual seams on his outfit, etc. while the troonslop is just monochromatic polygons? The shadows on the second model are weird looking too. What the hell is wrong with this guy's nose?
made a similar point earlier in I think another thread? The troon artstyle thread thing where it started with people posting old artstyles or unrelated meme stuff thatgot more into an actual talk about shit later on. Less words than my ramble lmao.
I think it's trying to emulate the games from that timeframe that looked a bit more flat-ish with character models and some jankier animations, but even those weren't quite as blobby.
I bet those reasons are fake as fuck. More likely that the tranny was suffering from TDS (self-inflicted) and becoming insufferable to work with.Earthblade, the metroidvania project from the makers of Celeste, has been cancelled. The given reasons include losing a major developer due to an IP dispute, development being too slow, and the team thinking the game wouldn't live up to the big expectations set by Celeste.
