In this indie game devlog video, I analyze the principles I use to create the world of 'Astra: Fading Stars'. This is a metroidvania game influenced by connoseurs of the genre, such as Hollow Knight and Ori, made with the Godot Engine.

    Thanks so much for breaking down the key principles of Metroidvania design so well! This will help me as I take a deeper dive into my Metroidvania initial ideation process of brainstorming character mechanics x environment and world map x narrative. Cheers comrade!

    Nice breakdown, also it feels that this isn't metroidvania specific things.

    Wow just found this, as a solo indie dev who is currently working on my own metroidvania in godot this is fascinating. How much time did you invest getting into this phase?
