Agreed. The less we censor ourselves across all art, the better off we are. Humanity is getting too comfortable, too safe in their bubble, there’s catharsis in pain and facing the truth through art. People seem to forget that; they wish to erase violence, sexuality, risk, passion. Then they wonder why everything is so boring and sterile.

They way I've done it in the past is to simply render the objects to a Render texture and then render that as a sprite (though it gets tricky if you need to render hundreds of them since you can't simply use one render texture per object at that point). This helps keep the objects pixel-stable when scaling in 3D space. If the camera is fixed on the depth-axis though you could simply do some clever shaders that posterize and dither colors and use 1-pixel outlines at low res and non would be the wiser.

@robboss2505

It's a mixture of both, 2d sprites combined with 3d animation for the more compicated animation like the Fan Blade or certain enemies fall animations. Idle animations and attack animations of the main character are all mostly 2d pixel art, which really sells the aesthetic along with all the background art.

@@foseydontanri7859 That is a rather old fashioned way of doing things. These days most people render the models as sprites in real-time via shaders. Which gives the added benefit of being able to blend animations, use physics to drive animations, and dynamically rebind animations to new models. Plus it can save a ton of video memory if you plan to use a lot of sprites.

I rather love that the first enemies are other burnt out old guys and the secretary. Oh yeah, those are the people most likely to snap at the office.

Huh. Despite the "jokey" tone of the gameplay, that has one of the smoothest intro transitions I've seen for a game, and it looks overall enjoyable (for all the characters not getting punched or set aflame). Also the end boss being what it is oddly fitting given the game you played right before this was partially _The Thing_ inspired. Funny coincidence that.

Of course it all starts because of the printer.

It's about time they made a Belko Experiment game! Freaking awesome!

I can’t help not to laugh every time he does that spin kick. 😂

We need more games like this. Street Of Rage in a corporate environment.

Very impressive! I grew up in the golden age of 2D gaming and side scrolling beat'em up's were always my most favorite games. If the fighting would be somewhat more dynamic it would easyli beat Street's of Rage 4. Pixel-Art and music are greate! In general the whole idea behind this game is just awesome. 😉👍

This actually does look like a little fun time waster. He even throws both an occasional roundhouse kick and reverse hook kick

the developer does these games part time as a hobby, he's also a full time AAA game developer. I think if he made a full game and sold it he'll make a lot of money.

"Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast." The Game

The pixel art looks great, well done!

Just went through this game and its pretty fun. Obviously combat isn't the best but well done overall. I could see this becoming a full fledge game.

If this had came out in the arcades of the 80's I would have dropped every quarter I could find into it and then begged my Mom to buy it for me on the Sega Genesis.

As someone who worked in both the service (resto) and IT world (corporate) for years...this qualifies as wish fulfillment!

btw, the pixel art and soundtrack is amazing

Oh wow, that game was a whole experience to this end!

Best fun I've had with a brawler since Midnight Fight Express. Hopefully we'll see an entry like this with meatier mechanics and challenge from Jorgenson in the future, he's got a good grasp on the style.

Protag looks like he's been working there for years, and the printer was the last straw.

I hope all your short games will be compiled into one coherent game and will on Epic Games Store and Steam 🙂
