Creating New Ways To SUFFER In My Game [Disinherited Devlog] 

I just see the father figure's projectiles being letters of disappointment and bills and when parried turns into either symbols of poetry or self love. Do with that what you want. Im enjoying the devlogs. Good luck with your journey!

The chains make it look like samuel is gonna be the new hollow knght

How about making Samuel's glasses break in the death animation too? I think that would be pretty nice

I love the design of the shackled enemies. One idea for them is if you stay immobilized for too long, they could smash you with the ball and chain they wield, giving your a much larger incentive to escape.

"...and spend their time coming up with new ways to inflict excruciating situations(pain) on themselves and each other" Oh, it looks like my ranked Dota2 games!

NGL those chains in the thumbnail are really giving me Hellraiser vibes.

i think adding bloodstains and such to the groundtiles would make the monestary even more horrifying

the shackled design looks awesome!!

one of my favorite aspects of rougelikes, is that the character changes appearance based on what items you pick up, i think that would be a very cool addition to Disinherited

Im so happy the breaking wheel and brazen bull made it. Im glad i suggested them

That little outtake at the end is so relatable lmao Another awesome update as always! So happy to see all of the community involvement showing through in the videos now! So cool!

since the new area is more open I think it would be cool to add a grapple enemy that uses a chain and throws it to the ceiling, then swings at you

You could make a skeleton with a cage from medieval rat torture and when you kill the skeleton, the rats attack you

i love the wokr but one thing is missing MORE BONES

This series has become my Saturday morning + coffee routine. That being said I really like the cartoon look mixed with some darker and torture imagery, it works really well. Charming yet, messed up.

I love how the game started out a “cute” game that included death, but now it’s a truly horrifying experience. Poor Samuel. Bros not gonna sleep for days.

Enemy idea: The Sclads Blindfold. While its existence is questionable, it was a thick metal blindfold that went around the entire circumference of the head at eye level. It had spikes that would stick into the user, as well as long, sharp spikes on the outside. The idea for the attack would be charging the player and grabbing onto them, either being big enough to hold the player or small enough to simply latch onto the player and do continuous damage until it is gotten off. Also, thank you very much for featuring one of my comments in your video.

Looking amazing, especially the shackled, they give me the creeps.... Keep up the good work, also bones

Franklin looks like a well dignified gentleman. 10/10.

Awesome progress once again! Love how the Acolytes attack VFX looks like. Also, this is only my opinion, but I think that those aftermath effect lines might confuse people into thinking that the enemy is casting some sort of quadruple hit attack because of how bright it is. I'd suggest making the attack's aftermath more subtle, unless four attacks in a row is what you're going for :D

Found this video while browsing through the latest devlogs, and gotta say, I loved it. Now I started to watch each and every one of your videos. Keep up the great work.

Relic Idea: Quill Of Disappointment. Increases size of cane

Oh god, this area is terrifying, especially those shriekers

Looking forward to the premiere

Now... just need some bones here and there and we can call it good!

Brilliant once again. I am running out of superlatives and comments to make on your industrial development brilliance!

I have three item ideas one is hermes boots that slow your fall, another is odysseus's silvered boar helmet that could do something like slow the loss of light or something else, and the last is king Arthur's crown that you could find a purpose for if you like it.

Just found out about this from the contest and I have to say, what you managed to make in such a short time is amazing [I only know drawing and not coding and the last B/W picture I drew took almost three hours and was just 1 character with no background, so I can't even imagine how much time you spent on all the art and music in those 3 weeks.] Absolute respect. I've added the game to my wishlist on steam, but I'm hoping that you'll be able [and willing] to port it to consoles later on as I'm mostly an xbox gamer. I've subbed to follow the progress, and I wish you the best of luck with the game and hope you can make it everything you want it to be.

Look, i like the blackthornprod videos, but this is literally the only game I've discovered through their channel that is actually memorable in any way at all. Watching you develop this game since day 1 (only on RU-vid, not a discord user) has been such a joy. I'll never forget death.

I really love the uniqueness of every area, and how the themes of them are reflected in the enemies and gameplay. amazing work!

Great progress! I love it!

"you'll remember it for the rest of your life" Hell from the moment i read that story i wasn't able to sleep without seeing nightmares why did you remind me 💀

Great Devlog! As an aspiring game dev, I learn so much from when you go into the more technical aspects of the code behind each feature. You’ve taught me so much already and I can’t wait to learn more!

Epic

0:21 Thanks for the idea! I placed it on top of my list of things to do some decade.

I have your "voronoi noise" moment way too often 😂

The great work continues! Very inspiring 🧠

it's incredible how fast you're developing your game, it's also very inspiring.

i'm absolutely obsessed, you're super talented!! can't wait to see the final game

Me when I normally see Samuel: That's my boy (o´▽`o) Me when I saw Samuel in the thumbnail: No my boy! (°ロ°) !

Bone wheel! 🦴🛞🦴🛞

Yo that’s my suggestion ❤

That death animation is a jewel

You should have defo kept the horrifying baby xD Giving a creepy edge to one area as to challenge you mentally aswell. For some reason when I watch your devlogs I always get reminded of music I listened to! This time I got reminded of Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows. More direct the song, Leeches & Deception. Creepy music, but I love it! Might be because I‘m German.

8:13 you had the same exact face as me, i was so unsettled xd

Alright, that's a Dark Soul level and a half, for the atmosphere of the place XD And I say that in the best way possible. Can't wait to try the game!

I always miss these premieres for one reason or another, hopefully i wont miss this one

Coolest area in the game so far.

glad to see the devlogs are becoming more about the bones Junji Ito, what a great source of inspiration for this very cute game! Also, really like how the effect shows the radius of where agony will hit you (a standard practice I think, but still appreciated) Editing at ~4:29 makes me giggle and I will be stealing it in some capacity for my own vids (mostly just the clouds in the background, while the foreground scales down, idk why I never thought of it) Poor samuel, he looks so troubled when immobilized with his eyes all big Ghost Samuel was integral, thank you ah, googled it, how dare they do that to the bones on the bone wheel still happy about bone mark #15 tho, really immerses me in the world I NOTICED THE PILLARS IN THE BACKGROUND NEAR THE BEGGINGING (meant as beginning) Meant to compliment, got distracted Yeah, the wood paneling goes hard I'm kinda curious about minigame implementation from the last video, cause for me personally, where it might be accessible from would inform what kind of minigame it is (like do I have to worry about light, would it be an in-between area that could impact the run, is there/will there be a hub/beginning area, etc) Great dev-log as always

Yessss we love religious trauma themes

I'm calling it right now the cat is the reaper

best day of the week

This is great you kill it every time also I love ghost samul

adding to the verticality and chain theme, climbable chains could be a cool addition

bro i'm REALY happy for you, im justing LOVING the game and i see so much potential on you, i hope u can get more famous, im from Brasil i would pay 60 reais (its like expansive) to play this!❤❤❤

Great video! The cat fan art😍

Can't wait for your next devlog

if you plan to add another floor I would make it one based off the fountain of youth and it would be in a forest

Your Chained Cardinal (I could rewind to see what you called them but eh) enemies truly remind me of the red robed figures in the Hunchback of Notre Dame's Hellfire sequence, and hey if that inspires you to make the level music similar to that song, who am I to judge? Though just throwing Dies Irae in there would also accomplish that but might be a tad on the nose. Though my main suggestion this week has nothing to do with that, mostly just wanna point out that there should be some pitfall traps in this game. If youre gonna climb and jump around, there should be some danger involved with downward movement, ergo pitfalls of some kind.

You can use your existing system to add one-way platforms/floors you can drop through (idrk what they're called). Maybe add them to the tile map the same way you are spawning the pillars, but make the platforms stretch horizontally and maybe check against a max length. Also, amazing to see all the progress, it looks great.

Love the Monty Python monks! They're so silly.

Great Video, as always! It’s so generous of you to make the subscription only 99cts! Keep going

Can’t wait to play the game

My phone ran out but i spiritually didnt miss the disinherited grind

Very very cool!

IM SORRY GHOST SAMUEL IS SO CUTE WTF I would die deliberately to see him again

2:13 my jaw dropped that would of been so scary omg

It’s over noooooo😂

Because the chain area is more vertical you should add a grappling hook item only found in the chain area.The grappling hook should be using the chains to fit the theme.

Channel member characters should become playable / selectable in game with character id

Relic idea, but it might change gameplay a bit. Not sure on the name, something that takes the theme of "becoming part of what you hated/battled". The item would once you die allow you to negotiate with the reaper to let your soul to find your body and reanimate it. But things aren't quite right this time. You take damage from light, you have to continously kill enemies to refill your soul power, uou exist as a vampireish ghoul, part of the labyrinth. No hope of ever leaving. Maybe a different ending too idk.

Insanely cute dog

This is everything I hoped for, maybe one of the enemies could become stronger the less health it has, hurting him helps him

I wrote an idea of mini game for exactly this area and I think it fits very well hopefully it is not too difficult for you to make and you will choose my idea :))

I like the idea of a "collector" type character on each level. If you bring him three unique objects from around the area he gives you a buff. Gives you a bit of a reason to keep track of where you are

Just wondering where Samuel's lantern light is coming from, since the lantern is an important part of the game. Does he have a lantern hanging on his belt and we just can't see it under his coat, or maybe his cane a customised lantern, since Sam is the creative sort? Or maybe Sam has a special necklace hanging around his neck (hence why the lantern oil is absorbed around the heart?) that works like a lantern? Or maybe since the catacombs is like the Netherworld, perhaps the light comes from his "soul," hence why the Reaper and ghosts absorb it? Or maybe I'm just thinking too much about it.

I love your basset!!! hes so cute

You made me smile even after germany lost against Spain.

THERE'S A DOOR BEHIND THAT CURTAIN????

There was an torture/execution method where you would put a fire under neath some rats in a cage and they would burrow through whatever was above them. The thing above them being a human being would cause the rats to horrifaclly chew through the flesh of the man to escape. So what I’m saying is enemy that has a cage on its back and carries a torch/some sort of fire. when it sees Samuel it holds the torch/lights a fire in an animation to cause rats to burst out of itself as summoner enemy? Or something of the sort?

suggestion how about a pop up when u get immobilised which tells you to flick the control stick left to right sorta like castle crashers

I'll hold you to it that you'll show the other fan art, mine didn't make this episode :(

Oh my(> body_horror_fun == True), i like so much new enemies they are so nice and looks relly painful (> body_horror_fun == False). And i really like area. It looks aesthetic!

Bones.

If I'm chained up by 12 bones, is it.... bonedage?

An invasive thought brought me to this question: Would there be a fear and hunger like difficulty?

This still reminds me of Harry Potter and i still don't know why

You should make a brazen bull enemy and when it gets close to you maybe it would be cool if you could hear the cry’s of the souls that died inside of it basically I imagine there would be rooms with a ton of the bulls and if you look away one or two bull have a chance to move And when they get around 2 feet away they run at you your able to stop this from either hitting the bull or dodging if they hit samuel he faints and the bull shoves him in his stomach samuel wakes up and you have to press your screen to escape the stomach you have 10 seconds to escape the bull before you die to the heat

Since this new area is so much bigger and more open what if there was some much larger enemies? Things that are like three or four times as big as our lil hero

More bones

I don’t know if I missed it but are there relics in this devlog?

Will iron maidens be added as decor?

I’ve watched every episode and I’m excited to see the game completed and in my hands, but I’m worried about the darkness/lamp mechanic. I feel like I’ve never played a game or a portion of a game with a darkness mechanic that didn’t make the game/part way less fun. I’m wondering if you have any ideas to make the darkness system more pleasant?

was thinking perhaps a permanent levelling system of some sort would help players get a more overall sense progression with repeated attempts. Sort of like hade's Mirror of Night. Small but meaningful permanent upgrades you can have access to.

more bones

Will cilice be optional though like I originally suggested? Like you cat her chains free and fight? Or is that now how the bosses are implemented?

I'm saying it right away game will be great but unfortunatly i will have to pirate it because i dont have credit card but as soon as i get old enough to get credit card i will buy your game good luck with development of this great game.

make the enemies attack you if you run inside them

Just curious, how many suggestions did you get for minigames from last weeks devlog?

Franklin needs to be an Easter egg, and I need to be able to pet him please and thank you
