All character animations in Mega Knockdown are overrides on top of a 'base layer' populated with placeholder Jerma greenscreen sprites.
I can't remove these "Load Bearing Jermas" without rebuilding my entire animation system.

Hey games writers, check out the response to this banger tweet and think about covering my game. You will get clicks. Thanks! dms are open.

That girl with the posts
Hey @noobde.bsky.social, I always wanted to see a version of Mortal Kombat with hand drawn sprites.
Since I doubt I ever will, I mocked up my own, with designs based on the Defenders of the Realm cartoon (because I'm old) and gameplay, theoretically, based on UMK3.

I did art for this, check it out
I mean the main part of the premise is throwing dirtbag CEOs out of the top story window of their big-ass tower, so I dunno seems pretty good

Kenshi's emergent storytelling is pretty fun out-of-context
vampire crawlers is funny because i can't think of too many games where i've sunk 20 hours, got 100% achievements and then been like.. yeah, it was ok
at first you balance cards, mana and combo (playing sequential mana values gives a multiplier), but then the game throws lots of wild cards at you can you can go infinite pretty much every time. later bosses start attacking every X played cards but that just means you play a 'freeze' here and there

apparently the goku thing is fake! the jerma thing is 100% real however.

Whoa this blew up for some reason.
You can find the game on Steam:

(*and yes, the beta art style is still selectable in game, although the new animations are much better)

It's okay to use citation software. It's okay not to. Using citation software isn't even a little bit like using Gen AI to write, read, or summarize (citation software is deterministic: same inputs, same outputs).
These are actually easy things to know and understand and avoid Discourse about.
