Red Essence Games
Добавлен 19 окт 2017
Red Essence Games is a small studio creating ambitious, thought provoking games. We create mind-bending, story driven experiences that will keep you asking "what happens next???". With each title we strive to uphold a high artistic standard.
The Studio began in co-creator Nik Hagialas’ home office in Philadelphia, where he and longtime friend Arman Ayrapetyan started work on their proof-of-concept demo, Mask of Semblance: Curse of The Palati.
Nik and Arman have since relocated to Houston, Texas, where they are now developing their first full length title, Traveler's Refrain.

I lost so many Gamecube Games when I moved house, I think the movers "Lost" it. I think the Gamecube had so many amazing titles! StarFox Adventure is OG and we had classics come to life like Pikmin a 3D Wario Game, Luigi's Mansion! Classics!
Nice job Nik
Thanks man!
Link was great
I was born 2003, and I grew up with a lot of DS and PlayStation games, but my mom and aunt(her younger sister) had other consoles and I played a few older games.
What older console games did you like?
I appreciate the business insight this episode offers on the industry. Where do you think the direction of gaming is going in terms of innovative games?
Also, are there any games that are out right now which have become part of the culture that will have nostalgic value in the next 10 or 20 years?
Well ya because it is important that there is rain because it gives boosts and other benefits
Yea I get that haha. I’m just saying that the text / effects slow down the battles a lot and I think there could have been a more elegant way to approach letting you know there was an effect happening. Like maybe just a rain icon in the corner of the screen after the first time you see it.
You guys released a demo recently and I’m sure had feedback. How do you adjust for that feedback in making the game better? Also, what is your process like for making the game the best it can be?
Congrats on 20 episodes guys keep it up 😁😁
Thanks man, and we appreciate the support!
Interesting take on the future development of games. Graphics have reached a certain plateau of development to the point where advancement is going unnoticed to the human eye. The best games now have a great story that captivate you.
Yea I definitely agree! An amazing story or some crazy gameplay features like in Inscryption. One of the most unique games I’ve played in a long time. -Nik
So true man
What game gameplay is this?
Hey this is our game, Traveler’s Refrain! We have a demo up on Steam :)
In ff9 you could turn the atb off. I highly advise against it as battles aren't too hard once you got a drift (or ate enough with quina)
I totally forgot that you could do that. What I do remember about that one is how long it takes for the battles to start lol. -Nik
I bet Grace would enjoy Palia 👀
Omg I definitely need to recommend that one to her. I think she’d love it -Nik
New pod!!!!!!!
Protect this woman at all cost
Such a great story between you two
Thanks man! It was a fun conversation :) -Nik
Let's go Neopets!!!!!
Loll
Excellent points guys
Turn based combat is underrated strategy. You have so many different outcomes that are possible based on stats. Solid pod guys.
I can't remember the last time I 100% a game 😂
Yea I’m a bit nuts like that -Nik
Pokemon is one of the few titles I can thoroughly enjoy turn based combat. It just works so well for it! It's nice to shut your brain off sometimes and just watch the action play out for you. 😋 Other than that, I've never really been big into turn based.. One of my all time favorite combat titles probably has to be For Honor, it's an incredibly in-depth combat system, flows super well, and just itches my brain in all the right ways. Although I don't play much now, because unless you're doing 1v1, the community can become pretty toxic, and it also has some balancing issues. Ironically enough for a game called "For Honor" none of the player-base has any honor. 😂 I haven't played in forever but I still think about it often. Hope to see a sequel to it eventually! (670 hours in it btw, my most played steam title) edit: I wanted to add a special mention to Guild Wars 2. It's gotta be the best made combat for an MMORPG ever. SO good!
670 hours! Holy crap haha. I haven’t gotten around to For Honor but I always thought it looked pretty cool. Also never played Guild Wars but always loved the art direction! -Nik
For honor is a great game
Absolutely! 15's soundtrack doesn't get talked about much anymore and that's a shame! It's so dang good!
Totally agree!
also yay new pod!
I suggest a different word for quick game completion. That’s not…ideal.
Glad I got you to play TOEM! So so gooood!
Yea it was an awesome experience! Loved it!
I love this. 🎉 soooo Remake from the ground up I'd love a Kid Icarus Uprising Remake it deserves so much more after that 3DS game. A remaster I'd love to see a Simpsons Hit n Run/Roadrage/ wrestling. Make it a collectors trio game pack! Another Remake from ground up is Starfox Adventures. I need old IPs to come back and get a big push!
NOT really but I'm glad it did due to skills this remake is going to have Warriors/Fighters go from being 100% USELESS to being useful ie Warriors for Metal Slime killing and fighters for everything else/boss fights.
It’s the banter that I missed the most
9:15 “ smoking a cigarette decreases health, but increases stamina…” 😂
Fun game. Smooth gameplay. Like it....
Thanks so much!
Great stream guys
Thanks man!
“We know what the sauce is, we just need to put the cheese.” 😂
This boss was fun
This boss was tough
That boss was fun to fight
Nice
That's sick...I've been intrigued by the thought of creating my own game,but have zero coding or computer skills
I had close to zero coding skills when I started as well. Learned from RUclips :) -Nik
@@RedEssenceGames would you have anyone you could mention to watch ?
I used a tutorial from Games Plus James to start building out a top down 2D rpg, and also Brackeys has really good stuff. If you just search "Make (grenre) game in Unity" there should be whole collections of videos on the topic.
@@RedEssenceGames ok! Thanks for the advice 🙂
Great content
good ep
Thanks so much!
The indie dev lore is what the people have been waiting for 🌀
Glad you enjoyed it! We’ll have to share some more stories / behind the scenes stuff in a future episode :)
“Hey it’s gonna take 2hrs for the steamed vegetables.” Arman: “that’s fine” 😂
Legends say Arman is still filming vertically to this day
This wins comment of the year
@@RedEssenceGamesSecond, Arman films vertically for the culture. It’s his strat.
Red. how is it going?,enjoyed~ excellent traveler! goodnight. 😊
Arman, you don’t have to play Kingdom Hearts if you don’t want to 😂.
The annoying part is that I know he'd like it but he's resisting. -Nik
@@RedEssenceGames he totally would, but I’m just trolling
It’s definitely a different strat
GHIBLI pronounced gibly….no jibly
Dude, Nik is definitely losing his mind.
Atreus was designed to be the best side kick and his attacks do a great job supporting Kratos without taking away or interfering with the combat too much.
I can’t WAIT for this game
Thanks man!
