The hell did anyone say in the Elden Ring trailer?
My game Ocean's Heart is on sale for under $5 - if you're into exploration-forward Zeldalikes in pretty nature, pixel art, or maybe pirates, check it out. I made the whole thing myself. t.co/QTTUOQCQFT
I keep forgetting, but I made a Halloween game a couple years ago. It's the 90s, you're a pumpkin man kicking ghosts through a cursed town to try and rent a movie. It's like hyper light drifter but silly and Halloween. maxatrillionator.itch.io/hallows-eve
Kick ghosts, rent movies. Available for Windows

It's interesting that Aonuma describes this negatively. It's taking out a middle step of kill enemy -> rupees -> shop/arrows -> kill enemy? Instead the enemies can drop arrows directly. While it's not always good to remove friction from a loop, I don't know how fun traveling to a shop really is.

Quote: "Fujisawa: Eventually, the rupees are useless [in past Zelda titles]. Even in dungeons, the player can use the arrows that are hidden inside the dungeons.
Aonuma: We feel bad if the player has to leave the dungeon in the middle, because they did not buy any arrows on the way, so we had to place some in the dungeon. As a result, the player who did not buy arrows never had to buy them. We were unintentionally destroying the cycle of ‘acquiring rupees by fighting off the enemies with weapons, and buying a weapon with the rupees to fight off the enemies’ because we were obsessed with convenience for the player."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreibtblopgle7xgkxgdrp6rcglqlywkymypwfokd4cqlet74ynts35e@jpeg)

A while ago, I was experimenting with foggy depth effects in 2D. I'm pretty happy with where it landed, but it does require a lot of bespoke, gradient-covered tiles.
Some screenshots from my game Ocean's Heart. The new game, Tombwater, has been a lot of brown dusty landscape so far, I'm getting impatient to add in more diverse landscapes like Ocean's Heart has.
