In this devlog we go from prototype to playable game. One of the biggest design challenges to solve this time was the art style. How do you develop a coherent art style for your indie game? This is how we went about it.

This series is by far my favorite devlog series. It does such a good job of showing the process behind making a game. I'm really excited for this game Jonas. Keep it up!

I love the art style and simplicity of this game. Both of your artstyles are AWESOME. I love the feel of the ramp and will you snail -- so unique yet different. I will probably get this game at some point, once it has released. Wishlisted! 😀

@geshtu1760 Год назад

This was super helpful. Watching you both in the prototyping stage and then seeing how you plan out not just the game but also the timeline is really helpful. One of the big mistakes we make as indie game devs is not being realistic with timelines and the amount of content, so planning out the game start to finish keeps you honest and helps to avoid feature creep (hopefully). And the fact that you are still using placeholder art well into the game development process is also really inspiring. Everyone does this differently but it's still helpful to see those different styles

Seems like you'd need a fast and compatible Creative Director 😁 If you watch One Piece, see the individual crew members as the different developers. You need a captain (creative director), a navigator (game designer), a vice captain (technical director), a marketing manager, a programmer, an artist, etc. ...

@shadypenguinn Год назад

I think a cool compromise for the attack system could be having a button that toggled between your types of attacks, but keeps the auto attack from vampire survivors intact. That could also allow for some delicious SCOPE CREEP for the character to gain more attacks other than arrow and sword. Been watching for years, excited for this project to keep growing.

@embergamedev Год назад

This prototype is already exciting! Very neat direction you both are taking this in so far. Also, people thinking this game is just Kingdom is hilarious. It makes me think of every time a person who sees a voxel game think that the game is automatically a Minecraft clone.

@ZooHair Год назад

This devlog is enchanting 👀

@FloatingOer Год назад

Added to wishlist! I especially like that there are destroyed ruins left after your buildings (as seen on steam), though it would be nice in the future if it was more distinguishable what was there before, like why is a destroyed farm consisting of rocks? It definitely looks like the right choice of art style. Zooming in and out would be a welcome feauture to.

@cartographercorinfer2971 Год назад

Love watching you go, really inspiring, really impressive. I am wondering if there is an exploration aspect, specifically whether you'll be seeing the same scene in front of you the entire level and then move to the next through a menu? or will it be organic, simply being strong enough or whatever to be able to ride farther and discover new places . I get the feeling that this might be beyond the scope of the game, or just not what its about... The video just got my imagination going.

@JonasTyroller Год назад

Hmm. Very cool idea, but probably out of scope, yeah. :D

@netro7701 Год назад

This is kind of a mixture between vampire survivors and the footmen mod for warcraft3. You two did a good job with this!

@chrischapman3241 Год назад

Love the progress, it’s looking really cool. In terms of art: I’m wondering if it might look cool with a grass shader, although this would obviously be harder to optimize with the zoomed out perspective

@LivanderGamedev Год назад

So glad for you Jonas, finally found your choice after creating so many prototypes, good luck further on developing this new game! It will be epic! 1 question tho, will you be using ecs for that huge amount of units?

@JonasTyroller Год назад

No ecs for now. We'll keep unit counts reasonably low (below ~200 or so).

@Reymax164 Год назад

Looking great

@sologoomba Год назад

@turbo8628 Год назад

Maybe "siege knights"? Its a play on words because the sieges occur at night, and perhaps you could have a giant leader of eaxh army that are called "siege knights". After several nights of fighting off armies, the siege knight appears and is the boss of that area? Idk, i love the creative aspect of game making

@cleancookies1908 Год назад

@themissingbracket Год назад

@bini420 Год назад

great devlog. I personally think that you should make the game as interactive and immersive as possible since the art style and the atmosphere it creates will be a big seller for the game. good luck on your games, it looks great, maybe you should experiment on a deadcells type combat system or something more automated with traps and stuff?

@razorback8300 Год назад

It’s a shame this video is not getting that many views. I love your content (as well as your games such as will you snail ) and I cannot wait to see the finished game

@-Teague- Год назад

Will You Snail had a super long time to build up and get attention so naturally those vids got more views. I bet this game will over time, especially once it gets more specific branding. Plus, Sunday morning was a pretty bad time to drop this video especially for people who live in the States

@richardbloemenkamp8532 Год назад

The player character on the the horse is great fun. Maybe the enemy leader can be on a horse as well. Maybe some more mountains, hills and valleys in the terrain would be nice. The color scheme is very clear, you could think of some more subtle color variations here and there, think of clouds, mist, rain, shining objects. High objects and trees can give extra 3D-depth to the scene. I assume this may be pollish for later. I'm looking forward to what this game will become.

@the_osprey4536 Год назад
