Sorry for doing it for free, but this is one of the game related things that have made me the happiest in a while.
Looks nice, what game?
I'm not sure what this is but it looks like some ugly flash game.

Graphical remake of WonderBoy: The Dragon's Trap
Was just revealed an hour ago on thedragonstrap.com
>>339720730
Well that's the standard comment for anything 2D now, I guess.

Nope, shit is still shit.
Take a look at pic related, not shit. Your game: complete shit.
>>339720521
>>339720549
Just play the older ones and Monster World IV, it'll probably be much better than that.
>>339721174
Hello Peter
>extremely generic indie platformer #54783: furry edition
>>339721276
>Your game
Haha, I wish
>complete shit
Ok son
Check out the video anyway though, okay?
>>339721174
It should be obvious how it's handdrawn calssic animation. I'd say both of them would be about equally easy to make in Flash. And obviously they both aren't.
>>339721290
It's supposedly going to the EXACT SAME game as the original, just with new graphics. I can get behind that. I love the look of the original, but this shit I really dig too.
Wonder boy was sick. Is this just some indie Dev who got the rights and is throwing a game up on steam?
>>339721330
This.
Original Wonderboy the best
I hate the RPG sequels
>>339721327
Hello TrevorI had one shot at freaking you out, sorry
>>339721290
It's just a visual upgrade. How could it be worse when it's the same exact game?
>>339721330
>>339721550
It's the metroidvania game that inspired Shantae, remade with top-shelf animation.
>>339721525
Just because it's hand drawn doesn't mean it's good.
The UI looks super cheap, the foreground clashes with the background, the animations are lifeless, etc.
>>339721330
nigga, this is a remaster of a master system game
>>339720521
>>339720549
I played this as a kid. As good as it looks and as much as I liked it as a kid, it's a bummer because I already beat the game and no reason to buy this again.
>>339721330

How you fuck up shilling your own game like this?
>>339721698
>Just because it's hand drawn doesn't mean it's good.
Naturally. Though I think this looks really good.
>the animations are lifeless
I don't agree.
Certainly not if the basis for comparison is Ori or Dragon's Crown.
>The UI looks super cheap
I dunno, I like the simplicity.
Best WB game
Disagree and fight me
a friend recommended the original to me a while back and holy shit that game is a 10/10
will eagerly anticipate and probably buy
>>339721174

I wonder why mighty no9 doesn't look like this and instead looks like a piece of ass that got raped

>>339721824
Go meet cooler friends elsewhere.
>>339721864
That's a link for the game I'm actually working on. Which looks like pic related. I just didn't copy the Youtube link properly. But since you're already accusing me of shilling my own thing I just as well might.
>>339722063
It's a Master System game anon, stop being paranoid
>>339722063
Check
>>339722085
And please. If I was working on Dragon's Trap you better believe I really would be shilling it hard.

Ey, thanks anon.
>>339722297
We're targeting this Christmas. But nothing ever goes as planned.
>>339721128
Dragon's Crown did get Flash game comments though. Mainly due to its shitty puppet animation.
Any 2D game not drawn with sprites always gets that dumb as shit response.
>>339722426
The prophecy foretells success in 2020. Sorry for ruining Christmas.
>Another old platformer getting remade
Cool.
Oh my god this is fantastic news
I played the hell out of WB3 as a kid
>There are anons who seriously believe this looks like crap your typical indie dev shits out
Those animations are bouncy as fuck and the backgrounds are absolutely lovely.
The comparison to Ori is also stupid as fuck. You wouldn't compare Perfect Blue to fucking Cats Don't Dance. They're aiming for two entirely different looks.
I was worried that they were going to botch this when I first saw the screenshots, but now that I've seen it in motion, the game is on my radar.
It's great to see more games being animated with traditional 2D animation techniques for characters and drawn backgrounds.
Have the systems been announced yet?
>>339723494
this would be the best thing ever if I didn't already play it and it's not gonna come to PC
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

To appreciate this game you gotta be ovet 30 yrs old.

Or 8 years old.
I don't get how you can claim to be over 30 years old. Those of us at that age have played enough sidescrolling platformers in the arcades.
>>339727140
>I am a 30 year old male and this genre and type of video games are great because no one knows and cares about it therefor I am underground and superior to all others.
>>339721987
Sorry man, but third best
Wonder Boy in Monster World
Monster World IV
Dragon's Trap
Monster Land
Wonder Boy
-power gap-
Monster Lair
Though Monster World... uh, 1-4? Are all really good games.
I don't feel too bad about selling my PCE version of the game earlier this year. It'd be nice if there were some enhancements (more areas or uses for the forms - you never used the dragon form outside of the beginning of the game). And maybe making the final boss not total fucking bullshit

>>339724595
>Nishizawa helping with both
Holy shit.
Well, not like he has anything better to do.
>>339727675
Not him here, but
>Monster Lair
I dunno. I kinda liked monster lair as an Adventure Island kind of game. I like it more than Wonder Boy 1, to be honest. Guess it depends which version you played.
Also
>no Turma da Monica game styled like Dragon's Trap in HD to make it go full circle
Oh well.
>>339721261
Most of Dragon's Crown's animation is typical of most modern Flash animation (although they did a hell of a job in making it look super fluid compared to most flash). Piecing together a set of parts and animating the still images largely through motion tweening.
As for this thing >>339721174
The animation appears to be almost entirely hand-drawn frame by frame. It's much more traditional. Outside of minute movements in idle animations (such as the sword/shield each character wields being still image shifting around a bit), the only motion tweening was that transition from scene to gameplay with the mouse, likely just done for trailer purposes.
>>339728384
>you never used the dragon form outside of the beginning of the game
I'm pretty sure there was at least one part where using the dragon form let you go through lava.
I could be wrong.
>>339727562
>>339727604
>spotted the 15 year olds
go play overwatch you cancerous sacks of shit
Holy crap I'm hype hype hype
>>339721082
It looks nothing like Wonder Boy.
I mean, the artstyle looks pretty, just nothing like Wonder Boy.
My only beef is that the artstyle is a bit ugly and it seems like the dragons won't be like their classic forms despite the main character's forms being almost identical to their originals.
Animated pretty damn well though.
Also, I swear I've seen this art and color style used before on some WBoy fansite or other.
Glad I got proven wrong that it wasn't just a straight port to mobile/console. That said, I hope they give you the options to select between the three soundtracks (New, SMS, SMS FM), since I think the PCE version is co-owned by Hudson, who probably won't let them use that version of the soundtrack.
>>339728739
Yeah, it feels off. It has -some- of the same spirit thanks to the designs, but because of the artstyle and color choices, it's definitely not the same.
Looks a lot better in the trailer where you can see it in-motion, but it's still obviously off.
>>339721174
>that bird flying over everything
wow amazing gameplay
>>339728739
Off-topic, but Monster World IV is such a fucking baller game.
>Replay WB3 every year
>mfw
I have a reason to be alive now.
I think i have the game around somewhere with my master system, easily my favorite game ever.
>>339728915
Only thing I dislike is that they removed the backtracking aspect otherwise it is a 10/10 game that oozes charm.
>>339728563

>>339728896
>I have never played the original
>>339729109
Also, the mechanical/toy stage is fucking BULLSHIT and the final boss is an absolute cunt if you're missing close to half of the extra hearts.
>>339729284
What a lucky cunt.
>>339728896
It's the last form you get, and a reward for hoofing it on foot for the entire game, + areas that require vertical platforming.
>>339721174
holy fuckin shit peter
this looks more like little samson to me what with transforming into an animal
looks great
>>339729601
Way to spoonfeed the asshole, asshole.
>>339729839
>transforming into an animal
>little samson
I'm guessing you haven't played it in a while.
Also
I just learned the company died in 1994 after only making 3 games.
Feels fucking terrible, man.
http://www.mobygames.com/company/takeru-co-ltd
Now do a remake of Alex Kidd.
>>339726472
It's a shame Cursed Kingdom doesn't have the animation quality as Dragon's Trap.
>>339731060
>Sega
AHAHAHHAHA
>>339720521
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
>>339731136
>Those 3 in the stained glass
How did I miss that?
>>339731108
But the artstyle is closer to the original (and subjectively better), so I guess it's sort of a pick your poison ordeal.
I noticed that Monster Boy lets you use different attacks with the sword (and even as a pig without a sword), I kinda hope that Dragon's Trap revamp will do similarly. From the trailer, we could at least tell that Lion-Man holds his sword differently, which implies he'll still have his overhead-swing as opposed to the stab.
It'd be pretty baller if Dragon-man has a charge-shot now, but we won't know until later.
>>339720730
people say this about literally any 2D game these days I fucking swear.
I'm sure I saw the same thing said about Rayman Origins and that was probably one of the nicest looking games of that year.
>>339731191
Telekinesis, kyle.
>>339731108
>doesn't have the same animation quality
Yeah it's a shame that enemies don't just flicker out of existence and actually have some sort of hit effects.
>>339721687
>inspired Shantae
Into the trash it goes!
>>339731435
>rayman origins one of the nicest looking games that year
Now that is a laugh
>>339731612
That's just an effect overlayed on top of the character animation. Both of them have nearly no animation in their death state and flicker out of existence. Cursed just has something extra. That hardly discredit the fact that Dragon's Trap has far more impressive animation in its characters than Cursed.
>>339731715
It's not Wonder Boy's fault than the shitty copy cat did a shit job of copying a great formula.
>>339732615
>That's just an effect overlayed on top of the character animation
Effects are also animated.
>>339732834
There's no effects at all in Dragon's Trap. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're not in yet.
>>339733021
Well it would make it look heaps better.
>>339720521
>>339721174
this looks cool but i've never played a wonder boy or monster world game before
do i need to play them all to get the story?
>>339734295
Not really.
>>339733021
It said "prototype" footage or something to that effect.
I hope so, because the zombie dragon's wings looked like shit, though they were clearly meant to have more frames in them.
>>339734513
ok cool
thanks
>>339734295
absolutely,
don't even bother with this new one if you haven't.
>>339733154
I'll agree that it'll improve the look of the game.
But that still doesn't discredit that the animation in Dragon's Trap is superior to Cursed.
>>339734967
No all it does is say more about how much effects make or break animation quality.
>Wonder Boy 3 the Dragon's Trap had Wonder Boy hold his sword in his right hand and shield in the left no when facing left or right
>Most other games just mirrored the sprite
I feel bad for this only clicking with me just now.
>>339735286
It was a nice little detail
But it be a pain in the ass if your game has more than 3 frames in its walk cycle.
Looks good, too bad that it will be filled with gay furry porn
anyway nice 1 peter
