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.

    you should 100% make a full game outta this the clay lore would be crazy
  • @LuvrZaka
    Imagine if it was a souls game with story where the main goal is to get the kiln(how you bake clay) "Oh Clay Knight, Searching for the kiln's flame to become the Ceramic King!"
  • @Adordev
    That's actually a super impressive game to make in just one month!
  • 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!
  • @Noiztox
    All this in a month as a solo dev is wild! Also, as a someone who has made some music for couple of games, those tracks were kinda banging.
  • @KanashiDeath
    imma 3d artist let me know if you want help making a full version cause i'll be down to help
  • @kamillcollins
    I think you nailed the theme of exchange... the 1v1 combat! It's a constant exchange of damage. Really well done, enjoyed watching this!
  • i would LOVE to see a full clay knight game with multiple weapons and bosses, i would also like to point out the music lacks alot of personality but this is so impressive for a one month solo project completely modeled and music made all by one dude props 2 u man
  • @bibibtrigger8447
    This guy made animations, models, wrote music and sound effects, drew the UI and wrote the code. What a madman
  • @Delboy178
    My man you COOKED on this. Really love the Claymation design choice and honestly wanted to see more! Also that ost you made is fire 🔥
  • This is so awesome. I would love to see more videos on this game or something similar to it. My favorite thing is the claymation style, so unique for this genre. Keep it up this video was great!
  • @nyanprime8345
    making a full length souls like would be awesome, its always been my dream game to make something souls like so it would be amazing to see you complete such a large undertaking!
  • @picklenickk22
    Amazing concept of making the style claymation. I haven't seen many games with this style but I think it has just such a nice and unique feel too it. Please make a full game out of this
  • @NikAjijul
    This is great, praticing and making something simple to sharpen your skill before going to another big project ❤ goodluck brother
  • @cupcat6044
    The game looks so cool! You’ve becamed an even better game dev then when I first started watching you, props my guy
  • @icybeesting
    love this! definitely worth considering making into a full game. maybe dive deeper into the exchange concept and let the player get aspects of different colors of clay or something from the bosses? so cool!
  • @YourEveryDayJo
    This is awesome, I like how you made practical steps to get it done. Would love to see the results from the jam when they’re in!
