Right now, be it on PC, big consoles or even little portable ones, we just don't see any platformers. 3D action is all the rage. | Right now, be it on PC, big consoles or even little portable ones, we just don't see any platformers. 3D action is all the rage. | ||

Super Metroid and Abuse were great. There was a great action/quest mix for Flashback and Super Metroid. Abuse was pure action, very much like the DOOM of 2D platformers, and it had a really nice mouse-aiming system. | ||
Take Flashback, add Abuse's mouse-aiming gunplay and Oni-like melee component, throw in hi-res graphics and the power of today's hardware, and you'll have a little retro-revolution.

The major work is on character animations : rendering them in side view from within Konoko Payne is an option, but the easiest way is to do it from within Oni, with standardized perspective and resolution, and no background. | ||
*Game content. Levels, mostly. And character interaction. The way combos and throws are handled in Oni (range, damage etc) must be carefully analyzed and made to fit 2D gameplay (relatively easy). | *Game content. Levels, mostly. And character interaction.
