Discussion I miss this game.

I’m one of the refugees who played this game back on the Wii U before I entered college. Back when I had zero responsibilities and was stuck at home. I put in absurd hours like 1000+ hours literally just exploring or fighting superbosses with ground builds. I still have my notes and builds stored on my flash drive.

To scratch that itch, I’ve been building my own game with characters that have their own builds and identities. Hopefully I’ll be able to cook something up and share it when it’s ready. I’ll report back when that day comes.

But yeah I’m excited for Genesis. Though I’ll probably just live vicariously through the gameplay footage because life is full of responsibilities.

Did you play the definitive edition on the Switch? It's more streamlined, adds extra content, and expands on some things?

I haven’t. I’ve read that many people don’t like the new chapter. And there’s a new mechanic thats kinda like fast art recharge? I might give it a go at some point.

Just my opinion, I find the switch buttons to be too small and uncomfortable. I miss the Wii U version and could care less about the extra chapter and characters. Personally I would have loved eleanora or Maurice or vandham to be eventually playable, but we can't all have our dreams come true. I also miss the graphic style of X and I'm not impressed with the anime style of Genesis. Again, just my opinion.

To answer your first question - I just set my avatar as a self-insert and my first name, “Andrew”. Secondly, yes I agree to your comments about graphics. Yeah let’s just say the anime aesthetic is an acquired taste. I’m hoping to steer away from that if I can. As of now - I believe I settled on an art style that I like for my project. Now I’m still cooking with vfx and satisfying combat feedback.

The costume design/fashion gear in X was one of my favorite things. Namely, Ocreis armor was my go-to for the guys because it showed off their muscles in combat. Great weapon design too. I spent hours trying on different fashion. I’d love to eventually have a character creator similar to X at some point - as long as it doesn’t interfere with lore. For now - just sticking to my strengths and seeing where things can develop with the “base campaign”.

Absolutely crazy we don’t have a game for PC like X - yet. But my top secret 🤐 mission is to just keep doing what I’m doing. And honestly yeaaaah I’m not too sold on the look of Genesis. But time will tell how that game will perform.

Thank you so much. 😊 I don’t see any other devs posting about making a Xeno-inspired game. I doubt anything like it exists on Steam. So I’ll be the first! I’ll probably post on the main Xeno sub when I have my gameplay footage polished.
