Description I still remember the chills when I met this boss for the first time!
It was a hell to create this water effect on the walls, and still doesn't look smooth as I'd like.

This whole scene needed several hours and days, I'm pretty happy with the results; I planned to fade Draygon's figure with the abyss shadows
in the animation, it resulted a bit different from what I had in mind but I'm comfortable with it. 
This game is carved in my bones, I have big gratitude to it.. and fear too...

That ripple effect is bad ass! Not to downplay the pixel art, either

This is some epic work.  I can see this would have taken a long time to do.

Cool but for me, the oldschool 2D, side-scrolling games were the best and still are.  Those 3D games that have been out for years now just give me a headache to watch.  Give me the old NES, SNES and SEGA Genesis games instead, maybe some old ATARI games too.  I am showing my age but the Classics are the best.

2D games have been here for ages, so they've matured quite well. 3D games are relatively new so it might take some time.

Have you tried indie games?

FactionParadox In reply to BluFudge [2019-03-31 23:02:41 +0000 UTC]

No.  I know you can download some games for the computer but I have only played games on a console.  Any computer I ever had was not a gaming-quality one so I never even tried to download any.  I have a new RETRON 5 console that allows me to play NES, SNES, SEGA Genesis, GBA, GBC and Famcom games on one console that hooks up via HDMI cable to any HD TV.  Even the GBA games are on the big screen and you can play them with the SNES controllers.

Just putting this out there in case you missed it, but the 3DS is choke full of great 2D games. So is the Nintendo Switch.

FactionParadox In reply to Lightsyde [2019-04-17 17:05:40 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.  If I can't play it on a big screen, it is likely not going easy for me to see it, so a 3DS is kinda too small for me.  I appreciate the suggestion though, Thank you!  I have the console hooked up to a 40 inch HD TV and the graphics, even on the GBA games, is just incredible with the HDMI connection.  I would have thought that because they were made for such a tiny screen originally that the graphics would not be any good but they ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!  the older SNES games are just as impressive.
