Hi, I'm new here in Itch.io. I am developing a game that is a Metroid/Mega Man like game. I'm currently in the process planning, setting the demo, story, characters, and music.

Should I choose inspiration for the art style for the game?

How about cybernetics / robot bugs?  So it could be like a cross between hollow knight and mega man. Story wise, the world has been destroyed by humans and now only bugs remains.  Over time, the bugs are reclaiming the lost civilization's technology for themselves. While making them more powerful the technology is on the verge collapsing the balance of the insect kingdom just like the humans.
