Yeah, trying to capture the actual aesthetic quickly shows the limitations of the tech of the era, I think. Not that it isn't an interesting creative constraint.
I guess if a game I made was called a "spiritual successor" to a game that inspired it, that would be very high praise.

Old school mostly - early Metroids and console RPGs (e.g. Chrono Trigger) were major inspirations. More recently, games like Hollow Knight and Dark Souls definitely contributed.
I'm less concerned about fidelity to the era than trying to capture vibes while giving a fresher take on the mechanics.

Around here, we have, "No, yeah." "Yeah, no." "No, yeah, no." and "Yeah, no yeah."
Good luck figuring out which ones mean what.
I love language.

Thanks! I'm working on converting pre-made positioning animations into navigation code to make it more flexible.
And so that enemies and characters can actually walk up to each other when they attack, which will be really neat.
