This meant the game is playable with a controller with only two action buttons while also having a variety of skills and attacks. What is it that you think sets Cyber Shadow apart from the rest?įrom the start, I wanted a classic-influenced game with modern gameplay. The rise of indie gaming has given players a lot of 8-bit throwbacks, from Shovel Knight, to Oniken. Instead, repeated failed attempts accumulate your currency which can be used at the checkpoint to increase your chances so you can survive with perseverance if your ninja-like concentration wavers. The difficulty should be on par with NES classics like Shadow of the Ninja or Batman but with checkpoints that don't punish dying. What kind of difficulty level should players expect from Cyber Shadow? Eliciting a mood you want without having access to certain colors or visual effects can be a struggle, though once you find the solution you feel like you solved a fun puzzle. The aesthetic illusion breaks easily and keeping it all together becomes harder and harder the bigger the game gets. Instead, there are some aspects that are indeed less work and some that are harder. One would imagine going 8-bit would simply make the work easier. Was it difficult working within the limitations of 8-bit?
The low resolution art leaves a lot for the imagination and has the power to put you into a new world with only a suggestion. Most NES games are recognizable as NES games and some have their own style within the same boundaries. The limitations force you to come up with creative solutions to art and gameplay while also offering a canvas where everything is inherently coherent. What is it about that era that inspires you? Cyber Shadow's 8-bit graphics evoke some of the best games of the NES era.
