I accidentally animated a parry while developing the blocking animation. Does this game even have a parry mechanic?? Only @stellarmantis.bsky.social knows

the demo for my Castlevania-like "Lady Dracula" that i've been making since 2023 currently has less than 100 reviews.

you can help me survive as a starving artist by trying it out (15-30 minute playtime) and leaving a brief (maybe a sentence) review here:

I'm really glad to see Mama's Sleeping Angels, Funi Raccoon Game and Lucid Blocks all doing well on Steam this week.

Three incredibly weird games about exploring unhinged dreamscapes. One online co-op, one screwball comedy, one unsettling procedural sandbox. All selling well with great user-reviews

FUNI RACCOON GAME

OUT NOW

THANK YOU <3

i guess this is kinda just reassuring me that my favorite weird 90s/00s favorite games will rarely be explored by other devs in any meaningful way so if i ever decide to make a Gothic-inspired game but gay and trans i wont be stepping on any toes lmao

will i play the remake? i dunno maybe on sale

besides that, its buggy but its an early demo so thats fine

i think my least favorite thing about the game and series in general though is the fanbase which is genuinely the worst types of fans. which makes sense cause the original story is very grimdark hypermasculine vibes soo yeah i dunno

the combat and controls are weird and clunky which i have complicated feelings about since the original was weird and clunky as well

i actually ended up loving the weird controls in the original but the remake is weird in different ways, so will it grow on me or not? time will tell

it suffers the same issue most AAA games have now which is that everything is so dense and high fidelity that it turns into sea of indecipherable noise

its so easy to miss paths or items (i literally had to watch someone play the demo to learn i could climb some rocks to progress)

okay so now the bad: i fucking hate Unreal games lmao

sorry but i think its hilarious that after a decade of people shitting on Unity games we now have a sea of big-budget Unreal Engine games that look and feel the exact same, poor optimization and all

first thing i did was disable motion blur 🤮

the music seems to be the same compositions but with new instrumentation which i think they did well, makes sense for this and as someone who has literally listened to the ost while working i appreciate them keeping it true to the original

that being said i wouldnt have minded a new ost? i dunno XD

diving a bit more into each bit starting with the characters, honestly they look really fucking good and they managed to retain their personality and appearance from the original while making use of the higher fidelity to push their individuality a bit more which i like a lot

screenshot of the Gothic Remake Demo (Nyra's Prologue) showing a large landscape of dry canyons with a castle spire and frosty mountains in the distance. in the background you can see the energy barrier around the land

screenshot of the Gothic Remake Demo (Nyra's Prologue) showing a forest

just beat the Gothic Remake demo (Nyra's Prologue), guess ill share my thoughts as someone who still plays the 2001 original after 20+ years

summary: characters and music are both great and true to the original, Unreal engine games almost always look bad to me, feels clunky but so was the original

So this is actually inspired by my yeen friend's sona, who wanted a playable yeen. I want to make it its own avatar some day too! Do you like the facial expression rig I started working on?. It'll get some blend shapes!

lmao just found out about yerba buena, fucking hate gdc

wish i couldve made it to slug world tho

bummed i cant make it to gdc every year now that im no longer in the bay :(

i miss my industry friends and meeting cool indies but im happy out here and hope i can find/build a scene in here over time
