Hand drawn animations?

[Hate Crime]

Not since Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, in 1997 have I seen a worthy 2D action platformer. Many times I've wanted, as an illustrator, to make my own 'Metroidvania' title but I have no love or patience for programming even the simplest of code.

Thank you to Sundered artists and programmers for creating such a beautifully drawn world and characters. On principle, everyone I know personally has stopped preordering software but I look forward to the release of Sundered. Hoping a member of the team reads these posts and spreads the word, great job!

Will do, thanks for the kind words! Have you checked Hollow Knight? Another wonderfully animated Metroidvania (and a great game to boot).

This game looked so good and had me hooked the moment I saw it, had to pre-order it. Also looking to try out Jotun :)

Yeah the art alone makes this almost a 100% day 1 purchase. Appriciate any game that makestheir own look. I don't pre-order anymore either but on release day as along as it works I'll be buying it day one. Wish I could play it now.

Good luck on the launch week and be sure to credit the artist big time in this week.

PS. Who is the artist? Have they worked on other games or have an art page?

The style slightly reminds me of "Journey" from TGC. Only this is far more fantastic.

Never since Castlevania SOTN you never found a game ? Mate you were not looking hard enough.... Try looking at Hollow Knight and Valdis story "both on steam "

Hollow Knight has been my favorite game this year, it's hand drawn art and animations and it's beautiful.

Sundered just might dethrone Hollow Knight though :)

I really doubt it can cuz they both are completely different in style "both drawn and gameplay"

I'm not sure if understood my comment or maybe I just worded it poorly. I only meant that it might top Hollow Knight as my goty of 2017, not that it would be better in quality of art.

Hollow Knight is great is gameplay but has alot of flaws of it's own that people don't want to admit, which is why I believe that something will probably come out and dethrone it as my goty. Still, with that said, not many Metroidvanias interest me and Hollow Knight was really the first one to grab my attention in years and it's still my personal favorite of the year (so far).

I pre-purchased Sundered because the story/lore of it seems much more interesting than Hollow Knight, anything with lovecraftian stuff grabs me. On the subject of animations, the fluidity of Sundered's animations from what I've seen looks much more smoother than Hollow Knight's animations from what I can tell.

To be fair metrovaina games have just really started making there way back to the mainstream, however there are litterally thousands of them (most very good) pornographic metrovania games. Its one of those wierd things I guess.
