This week’s Creative Bloq indie spotlight actually has me circling back to a game I got to play at BitSummit a few months ago called Nightmare Operator, which is like a PS1-style mix of Resi 4, Shin Megami Tensei, and Street Fighter(?!) www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...
This PS1-style horror game mixes Resident Evil with Street Fighter
Nolan Joseph explains how DDDistortion uses modern tools to recreate a readable retro aesthetic.
