Hey, hi everyone. We here at IronRaven decided to make a metroidvania, in the style of Dieselpunk and the 20s, art deco, art nouveau and so on. Tell me, what is the most important thing for you in metroidvanias, besides their appearance?

That Prince of Persia Metroidvania that came out a couple years ago had a very useful feature where you can not only make custom marks on your map, it also attaches a screenshot to the marker that pops up when you hover over it.

Super useful, and I'm not sure I've ever seen it used in other Metroidvania games..

Also, not even sure what specifically, but more games should be like Animal Well. So... Just do that lol

Thanks for your opinion! I found this mechanic weird and overdone in Prince, but I'll think about it since people find it convenient

Could always just make it completely optional. Or very limited, like you can draw on the map Animal Well style, but if you want to add a screenshot, you have to buy tokens for it from a shop or something? In-game of course, not microtransactions lol
