Poll of the Day > Legend of Mana is basically the perfect game

(+) Yeah! (+)

If I ever make an indie, this is what its gonna look like.

excellent pixel art, and some of the most beautiful backgrounds Ive ever seen in a game. Im genuinely surprised we never got a copycat for this

ill get some tinder babes to give you a shout out for your game. tinder babes love legend of mana

Hardly. Traded improving the combat for gimmicks like building the world map, which then became the Mana series' "thing--random gimmicks instead of being a good action RPG.

It's beautiful, even if I don't like the art style.

I liked Secret of Evermore better.

I don't think the remaster did the artwork justice. I think it should be played on the PS1 using a CRT.

---

Lots to love, and lots to hate about this game.

hmmm I can't recall if it's the same game, but one of those with a name like that seemed silly when I watched my brother play it, where you can effortlessly stunlock every enemy and boss in the game, all the way up to the final boss. I watched him stunlock the final boss to death and he said it was a stupid design flaw that ruined an otherwise potentially good game, and he seemed right from what I saw.

It looks like Golden Sun but bigger.

Let's make the game. Me, Lokarin, and you ( @PK_Spam .)

If it's three-person, is it still an indie?

It did improve the combat. It's a faster, more responsive version of SD3's combat, with light and heavy attacks, and you can actually choose what special move to use instead of it being the same one over and over based on your class.

That's a kink.

Do it anyhow, aside from all the hard work it's a lot of fun and rewarding.
And you might make some money out of it too!

Of course. Just because lots of games are made by a single person there are some pretty noteworthy examples with a larger team. I think Hollow Knight was made by 3 people. Salt & Sanctuary was made by 2.

Plus I THINK technically "indie" means you don't have significant financial / publisher backing, but I could be wrong I never looked this up lol.

I'd love to get back to working, I just haven't had any motivation/gumption/impetus to work since starting my medication... basically been just a lump for the last 5 years

Yeah that can definitely happen, even in the middle of a project.

Best advice I can give you is to wait until you really want to work on it, even if it takes awhile. If you force yourself to do it you'll end up hating the thing and it'll probably make for a worse game too.
