Daily Sketch 75: So that new Shantae game came out a little while ago. Frankly I have a few mixed feelings about the game, but one thing I can say for certain is that it is absolutely gorgeous. Shantae already had a pretty high bar in terms of great visuals, but Wayforward really exceeded my expectations this time around, so much so that I couldn't help but take another stab at the lovely Shantae. I also took the opportunity to try out some new painting techniques while I was at it.Related content

Now you need to do Tuki, unless you already did her.

I'll be honest, it looks good. The only thing is that I think her hips should be bigger since she is a dancer and it would only make sense that she'd have bigger hips.

Isn't it crazy how Shataue's made a comeback?

Yeah, it's pretty great. The world needs more great platformers.

That's pretty cool. I like the artwork. Are you a fan of the series too?

Yeah it's a really charming series. I'm a sucker for a cute lady and great pixel art, and Shantae has never disappointed.

though it's not pixel art, the last game, half genie hero, was pretty good and the art still looked great with 2d mixed with 3d. You might like it.

I did like it. It's what pushed me to want to draw her again. The artwork and animation in the game are pretty fantastic. Probably a high point for Wayforward in general.

Hmm, what part did you have mixed feelings about? Β For me personally, it rekindled my love for 2D platformers. Β Very fun game.

Mostly it was the level design for me. I just didn't like the simpler more linear levels in this game compared to the more complicated open level design of the older games. I still enjoyed what I played, and I think all the mechanics in the game are really tight and well executed, I just wish that the actual environments you were exploring had a bit more going on.

Ahh, I see. Β I need to go back and play the Shantae's I missed between the original and this one. Β I had seen my sister playing Pirate's Curse a little bit and it seemed more like a Metroidvania styled game. Β HGH's levels reminded alot of the Megaman X's.

Pirate's Curse is really good. It's definitely worth checking out. The older games do lean more towards the Metroidvania style of level design. I might call it a Metroid light, because it's not that complicated.
