Genthrix’s Port

A port for all - pirates & sailors bold, even navy's fleets of gold. But bring the wizard's rightful share, or set sail elsewhere, if ye dare. 🏴‍☠️

The Astral Spider's lair is threaded through a belt of asteroids, like so much gossamer. Sticky, glowing strands hold the drifting rocks together in an ever shifting web; catching solar dust, ships and lost celestials. A colony of spiders lurk within the hollow, chewed out rocks, waiting for their next meal.

Design phases for a broken bridge in the southwest map of Albantree. I'm not 100% happy w/ it, I think it might be overtextured. My tendency to do that is why the interior maps for the tower still don't have floor texturing haha. I expect I'll come back and redo this at some point. Out of the nine maps that make up the town, six are done enough for me to move on to interiors next. I have this one with the bridge and then two more, one a park/open market and the other the location of two more townsfolk homes/businesses (clinic and constabulary) with their respective NPCs.

Made a cute little game over the weekend for the Ludum Dare game jam! :)

You can play as a cute fairy alchemist, harvesting some mustached acorns in some smiling woods. But beware, danger looms.

Anodyne

by Melos Han-Tani, Marina Kittaka

Price (US): $9.99

Included In: Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, Indie Bundle for Palestinian Aid

Genre: Adventure

Pitch: What if Link traded his sword for a broom?

My expectations: If I'm not mistaken, the Anodyne series is well regarded. I've played a chunk of both games and liked this one better than its sequel, but I still found it underwhelming. Were my first impressions correct, or will it finally win me over today?

Review:

In the original The Legend of Zelda, protagonist Link stabbed Zols and Kees with a sword.

Anodyne’s protagonist, Young, stabs slimes and bats with a broom. Not, like, the sharpened handle of a broom. He just walks up to monsters and stabs them with bristles.

All subsequent, top-down Zelda games had Link swing his sword in an arc, which not only looked less awkward than the slow stab, but added nuance to combat. I won’t go into a thorough analysis of Zelda combat through the ages, but while I’ll concede that cloning the first game’s basic sword attack is a valid choice, it’s an odd one. It worked in that game because the sword was one of many tools, meant to be used in concert with shields, boomerangs, and bombs. The sword could shoot laser swords.

In my time with Anodyne, Young picked up keys, health pips, and eventually a pair of jumping boots. I explored vast swaths of the world, conquering dungeon after dungeon, and everywhere I went, I stabbed the same slimes and bats with the same broom.

It’s a dreary, wearying slog, tragically devoid of nuance and wonder.

+ On rare occasions, fighting monsters, solving puzzles, and collecting keys in a dungeon creates a sense of progress, and a fleeting glimmer of Zelda magic shines on Anodyne. + In addition to functioning as a broom, the broom can be...a broom. Puzzles that involve sweeping up dust and depositing it elsewhere are generally successful. + Simple controls. + Occasionally gets dark and weird. More of that, please!

– If you're ripping off Zelda, rip off Zelda! Where are all the items? – To quote that Zelda commercial, "Which? Way? To? Go?" I want to get a little lost in a game like this, but give me some direction. The map and the fast-travel system are invaluable, but they're not at all user friendly. – Combat stinks. Movement is generally is slow and clunky. – Miserable music that sucks all the joy out of adventuring. If the rest of the game were oppressively depressing, maybe it would work. Instead we have a light, goofy, broom-stabbing Zelda adventure that's determined not to have any fun.

🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍

Bottom Line: Play a real Zelda game.
