MODERATORS
The worst thing about Palworld is that the monster designs are solid but the game itself seems to be just commentary on Pokemon ☠️
I agonized so much over whether or not people were gonna think I was ripping off Pokemon too hard when I made Kor since I used some of the sprites and tiles as reference points; if I'd known the bar was this low then I would've relaxed so much during the dev process.
I like them but I am usually very critical of clones. I think your effort wasnt wasted
But the designs are just reskinned pokemon for the most part. The sheep pal is just wooloo, and the elk is xerneas with a paintover.
Yeah also we have gyarados at home
I think where im at is there isnt a pokemon that isnt already made, pokemon itself already mostly has dud pokemon designs but if you can make something that parallels enough its acceptable to me
But it actually is possible to make a monster-collecting game with original designs though. Just look at monster rancher, none of the monsters from that game look like pokemon. It had a very distinct style.
I think pokemon has just monopolized this genre for far too long, which makes it harder for people making this sort of game to imagine something different.
A monster game with designs like the angels in NGE would be really cool. Get weird with the narrative.
