Dear Reader:
Entertainment Hero coming to Switch
In terms of gameplay, Mega Man is the largest inspiration here, that much is obvious. It's the series I know the best, and there's a nice harmony to the idea that the first game that I make resembles the first game that I played. It's a simple style as well which makes it a great first game to design.
The game will have ten stages to complete, in any order, before it's over. It won't be the longest or greatest game in the world and I'm aware of that, so expect a price point of under five dollars when the game launches. Another element driving the price point is competition. Entertainment Hero, even if it turns out exactly as I want it, will pale in comparison to Freedom Planet, Shovel Knight, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, 20XX, and plenty of other games out there that went after the same basic idea that I'm going after.
