I'm yet to play this game but lemme just say that, from the trailer alone, this game (and its characters in particular) feels to me like what my gay brain wanted out of Star Fox. Not the Star Fox that exists in consoles, mind you, I mean the more atmospheric Star Fox that years of nostalgia built up in my head. The one where Wolf O'Donnel isn't an unrepentant, fucked up criminal and where I could just float through space while this song plays.
And the colors remind me of a more cyberpunk/space age Hyper Light Drifter.Sorry if I'm rambling. I should play this game soon-ish and have actual impressions to share. Let's see how far off my initial assumptions were!Viewing post in Hearts Faster Than Light comments
no need to apologize! this is a very validating take on the style and vibe of HFTL and I'm glad you told me! I used to write a lot of Starfox fan-fiction, and that has served as some of the basis for this comic for sure! I always wanted to get my paws on the rights to Starfox to make it gayer, so instead of waiting for godot I decided to make my own thing! (also i wanted to add, the menu song for SF64 was played on repeat while i was writing chapter one. definetly a foundational aesthetic moment for my work!)
