  • A Devlog about making a Souls Like Game in a month. I did this during the Boss Rush Game Jam. This being my first third person game also proved some challenges.

    Making a souls like for a game jam was not a very bright idea, but I tried anyway. I'm pretty happy with the result. Managed to make some fun boss fights. Albeit the game isn't very unique, it doesn't have any mechanic to set it apart from other souls games. But as a learning experience it's good despite that.

    DUDE! I LOVE THIS! The clay-motion look is practically made for a soulslike (I especially love the main knight design)! I think you could maybe go full-on "link's awakening mode", that would be the dream - less of a plastic-y look! The music is also AMAZING! Definitely scratches that Blodborne itch for me! This is of course still in need of refinement and some polishing, but this is definitely an uncut gem in my eyes! Coop would be legendary in this game, I imagine! I would LOVE a full or further-developed version of this, I´d certainly pay for it!

    • @ransio1262
      @ransio1262 3 месяца назад +23

      Completly agree with this. While it still lacks some polishment (mainly to the fact this was made for a jam), it think you have something with potential here. Hope he keeps working on it and if not it was still nice to watch

    @schmukas2263 Месяц назад

    Looks great, I´d definitely play a full version of this! As for the "Exchange" theme: Since your characters are clay models, this could maybe also have an impact on the gameplay. Imagine if instead of leveling up via points, you can choose from the clay body parts of defeated bosses and literally exchange them with your own, boostin certain stats or giving special moves and abilities depending on which body part you choose. Having to choose from different options also gives great replay value to your game since your build can differ greatly as you accumulate more and more powered up parts with each boss. That would be amazing to see!
