Recreating HADES for a GameJam - Devlog 0
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2024
- For this game jam, we thought Hades was a "simple" game to remake. But we had no idea just how much work was involved in making a game like Hades. We did end up with a game that was reasonably fun, but the difference in "quality" is kind of noticeable. 🤣

Check out the game here: helperwesley.itch.io/surtr-the-edge-of-ragnarok
"Devlog 0" is the proof of him being a game developer 💀
😅
Great work Wes, the game turned out great. Surprised you got a game out at all with that kind of start to the week, happy to know that you and the family are ok.
I'm sure I could have made the game more polished with more time, but at least what I managed to get out was the core experience I had planned from the start.
And yeah, we're all fine. We did end up spending money to get all of the rest of our trees looked over, just in case. lol. Mild paranoia has set in.
HOLY MOLY,i know its late but thanks alot for this video,ive been strugling for the past week on how to create a combat system for my game and this video just gave me the perfect idea
Neat devlog! I had fun playing your game, glad everybody's okay from the tree!
Thanks! and I'm glad! and thanks again! lol.
This looks awesome! Recreating hades mechanics for a jam is pretty ambitious so it's amazing how much you've got.
Ambitious and Ill-advised, same thing. 😆
Thanks though. 👍
If I had the full 10 days maybe it wouldn't have been so rough. But I did what I could. 😅
Great work to you all, the game was a lot of fun! I've been playing Hades a lot recently so this came at a good time ;D
Glad to hear everyone was okay from the tree!
Thanks, I'm glad the game came out as well as it did, all things considered.
And yeah, I might show a picture of the tree at some point. Took a bunch for insurance purposes, just gotta pick wisely so I don't dox myself. 😅
@@HelperWesley Yeah it was great!
And yeah be careful...but #treepicswhen #onlytrees
@@GamesBySaul #onlytrees OMG lol
Love this kind of video, Good Work !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
got recommended randomly and i see the thumbnail had changed
I did a video on thumbnails, so this one got a make-over. 😅
Helper Wesley: "Norse mythology is dark."
Norse mythology: _Thor tries to cross a river and gets mocked by the ferryman_
Norse mythology, like all mythologies, is...tonally diverse.
True. We ended up looking in to the moment right before loki receives his punishment for tricking hodor into killing balder.
That's what the story was originally revolved around. 😅
@@HelperWesley True, true. But I had fun trying to decide what myth to reference-the time Thor put on a wedding dress and pretended to be Freya and the time Loki crashed a party and accidentally confessed to murder while trying to roast the other Aesir were both considered.
@@timothymclean Omg, the writer never brought those up to me. I feel cheated now for not being given those as options. 🤣
@@HelperWesley I bet a Hades-like centered around the wedding incident would be hilarious.
Anyways, recommending Overly Sarcastic Productions for a quick overview of the myths in question. I think the ones I referenced are all in Red's Poetic Edda video, but I'm not sure, so I'll link the Miscellaneous Myths playlist too.

I'm loving the your content cant wait for more. You got my sub and this inspired me to pick up Gdevelop again and finally finish my chess and mini golf games so thank you. I love this idea of a top down game like this so maybe itll be my next project.
Glad I could help. 😉
And give it a shot. 👍 I really enjoy making this type of top down game, it's simple enough to do, but it adds depth to an otherwise 2D game.
Bro I wish I saw this sooner! The same thing happened to and around the same time frame too. And what's wild is that it was also two trees as well. But I'm so glad your okay! Mine hit exactly on top of my room luckily our house is concrete if it wasn't... yeesh
Oh wow. Glad you didn't get hurt, that is wild. Mine is made of wood, but thankfully no damage a trip to the hardware store couldn't fix lol.
Cool video helperman! hope u didn't get hurt when a tree fell on your house.. ;-; Hope u win the jam!
Thanks!
And we're all fine. 👍
I was more annoyed by the lost days from the jam than the little bit of damage that was done. lol
This is amazing!!!
Thanks, glad your enjoyed it. 👍
Great job!
Thanks!
7:45 - I dont know anything about game maker, but maybe is because you are using an AND (&) operator with only 1 condition, and maybe it fills the other condition as false. Something like:
_IF (shield=2 & timer>1) || (shield=1 & EMPTY)_
Maybe it fills the _EMPTY_ as false, and it became _(shield=1 & FALSE)_ which is false
So when you put the always true condition it became a valid condition like this:
_IF (shield=2 & timer>1) || (shield=1 & TRUE)_
Hope it helps and let me know if that was the problem :)
it's a fun little game :)
I'm having trouble with my combat system on my top down dungeon crawler and I love the combat system you've done here any tips on how to work with it I can't find any good tutorials for top down melee systems 😅 I'm also working on mobile for a mobile build.
Are you using the same engine as me? GDevelop?
I used "if in collision" and during a few particular frames of the attack animation of the spear for combat. And for knockback and stuff I used a system similar to what I'm using now in my gun game.
The example for that gun game is open source and can be found through the engine if you search for an example called "The Conviction Of Gun Dude". There's even a mobile version with touch screen joysticks if you want to check that out.
Good luck. 👍
The final result is amazing! I hope you don't mind if I copy the way you do procedural rooms :D
Thanks!
And no worries, I actually copied it from how spelunky does it's randomization. (just a smaller scale version of it)
Thia came out great, been meaning to buy Hades after reading such rave reviews for it!
Thanks! And yeah, they made a really cool game.
I thought it was a pretty standard roguelite with a good story. But I dove in to it as research for this jam, and it's a HUGE game with some really cool game design choices. And you can pet Cerberus. 10/10. lol
@@HelperWesley Haha okay I will check it! I love all the options you had in your game, I played it and it doesn't feel at all like it was made in a week (-1 day for movie night lol)
@@TylerGreen I never pass up the chance to watch my toddler eating popcorn out of a bowl twice his size. Literally the cutest thing ever. lol.
Hope you enjoy Hades. ;)
What's that tool you use in the video to make the story characters? It looks neat!
0x72.itch.io/pixeldudesmaker
how do I learn this stuff man I cant find the tutorials for the stuff you used in this game how did you learn all this ?
Uuuuh, I kind of make it up as I go. 😅
The closest thing to this style of game that I know of right now is the "titan souls" example I made a LONG time ago. It's got the same top down layout and angle, but none of the upgrades and stuff.
Now that I'm making tutorials on the GDevelop channel, maybe I'll make one on this sort of thing. 🤔(Though not any time soon cause there's a lot of stuff to cover before I get to this)
Is there an easy way to scale the hands bigger?
Think it would be better for the boss.
I won't be going back to this game, because it's been way too long and I'm sure the game is nothing but spaghetti code. 😅
But if I had my time back, I definitely think making the boss's hands bigger would have helped with making that fight more engaging. 🤔
are u ever stopping and resetting the dash timer ??? it might have something to do with that or maybe the way the conditions are, i played the game overall it was fun b8ut i had no clue what the favors did till just now and the attacks are kind of slow it slows down the pace of the game especially with the dash.
I've looked over the code for the dash since submitting the game and I'm honestly not sure why the heck that fixed it. lol.
Didn't know what the favors did? That's the first time anyone has given me that feedback. that's interesting.
@@HelperWesley ohhh for jams unless i know its based on a story i usually skip and just look at states lol never played hades before lol and did not know if it was perm or not lol
@@Epicnoob-ux7es aaah. I getcha. That makes sense.
3:04 Wait I didnt see any spi... oh ok.
Yeahhhh..... I was recording the audio and I legit facepalmed. 🤦♂️
Great game looks really cool, do you mind if I play it on one of my streams? I cant really afford Hades at the moment but I'm sure I get the same feeling playing this game
That would be cool. Let me know when and I'll try to show up, or I will at least watch/share the vid. 👍
How did you get that random room generation?
I explain it here. ruclips.net/video/_DTwf38xDzY/видео.html
Just created a bunch of room shapes and then used RNG to determine what got picked and what objects would show up in the rooms.
Nice video
Thanks!
Really like the game, it's really fun (though it gets quite easier after a few upgrades xD)
Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, it was for a game jam, and the general time I aim for is 15 minutes to a half hour for those. So the upgrades are pretty strong so people can beat the game within that time. 👍
What was that sound effect tool?
I pretty much just use jfxr and audacity.
@@HelperWesley Thanks brother
Are you gonna update the game at some point?
I usually don't retouch my jam games, but I really like how this game turned out, so I might go back and quickly fix a few of the biggest issues.
But I won't be adding any more content or anything.
I really wanna know how to make this kinda game
It's a bit advanced, but if you've seen the expressions video, a lot of the mechanics from this game went in to that one. And that game will eventually be released as a game example.
1:19 C.R.U.B.S.
Gotta try GDevelop now xD
I suggest it for anyone who just wants to get in to making games, specifically 2D/2.5D for pc or mobile, and not deal with coding. 👍
do you have a studio?? if you have can i join???? tnx =)
Again, no studio, just me working solo.
this is so cool!! hit mew up if you ever need music for your games!!
Thanks!
I have a musician friend I usually get music from, but thanks for offering. 👍
I appreciate the effort but I'm slightly concerned...how could you think for one second that a game like Hades would be "simple" to remake?
A little too much confidence in myself, a dash of arrogance, and a slight disconnect from reality. 😅
