Could indie devs PLEASE stop using the Famicom color palettes? The colors are garish.

Shovel knight looks great though.
Really well done pixel art.
Sacrifices detail for animation.

I'm fine with the animations and sprites. The colors are garish though. Famicom had shit colors. The next gen is when colors got great.
If you're doing retro shit why don't go the whole nine yards you idiot?
Only one of these games actually respects the NES palette.
I've never been bothered by this. Idk.
Yeah the NES had a limited palette and a lot of games looked ugly because of it. Yeah, a LOT of indie games are ugly as sin and are shitty in more ways than just that.
But Shovel Knight looked nice.
shovel knight made millions of dollars. do you really expect people not to take the easy road like they did?

What's the game on the left?
>>343590665
shovel knight didn't use famicom color limitations though. there's like a whole article about this exact topic and how they didn't do that somewhere.

Some shitty Dark Souls clone
Shovel Knight is closer to a PC Engine or a Master System than an NES/Famicom. It uses Yellow.

Odallus.

It's a Famicom palette + a few extra colors. It's basically a famicom palette though.

>what used to take a studio and tens or hundreds of thousands now takes one bored guy and maybe a kickstarter
>>343593029
Budgets are basically the same now. Shovel Knight cost a few hundred thousand. That's about par for a standard snes game. The bigger ones cost several million. Average ps1 game was 3-5 million. PS2 was 7-10 million.
More complexity = more time and people needed.

Famicom games wish they looked half as good as Shovel Knight

>Famicon
