is there anyway to get access to this game?

3:39 I created my script and attached it properly to my object but when I manipulate my health the value doesn't follow it :( help! I even made sure to drag my healthBar object from the hierocracy into the healthbar field in the inspector and no luck :(

Dude i can't understand when you create the game object with health bar and ease health bar, you remove the script only on the healt bar or also ease bar? And then attach on the main game object?

Have you done a video about the melee combat?

I hope this will be good enough that I will want to pay you full price.

Hi im seth and im making a smash bros fighting game Xenofighters if anyone wants to help with my game let me know I want to finish one project

I like what you are doing.

Damn man this game just keeps looking more and more dope

If anyone is having issues with only the yellow displaying and not the bright red this is the order that you should place your Gameobjects: Health Bar ------Background ------Ease Health Bar ------------Fill ------Health Bar ------------Fill

The game is looking great, the playtest was fun also!

once the game content is done, please dont forget to polish the control feel to be smooth and solid . keep it up

Me: you can't make such amount of progress in 3 days! BlackCitadel: watch this 🗿

Hy healthbar is yellow and isn't using the healthbar slider at all. I don't understand why its doing this.

So just Dark souls.

i followed every step down to the T and it doesnt work

Looks real promising! Keep up the amazing work!

Great concept 👍 But why it running on low frame rate Wishlisted ❤

I love the way you think about this project! Nice work

It feels like the game is a reverse souls-like in theme but not in gameplay. You could look at how the game "Legend of Keepers" is the reverse of "Darkest Dungeon". In Legend of Keepers, you play as the monsters. The heroes are the ones who can heal and dodge, while you rely on things like poison, traps and multiple waves of monsters to defeat the few heroes. You have something like this with the wisp possession mechanic, so why not lean into it? What if the creature you possessed couldn't dodge? The player would have to be super aggressive instead, and likely their minion would die and be replaced multiple times before they defeated a single hero. That's what Dark Souls is like! I know you mentioned the settlement defense part of the game, which does sound like this, but is there some way you could make the rest of the game more like this?

I've been waiting for this game for awhile now, had this wish listed on steam since April of 2023 and it's so nice to see all the progress so far

Really Cool and Unique Idea. This reminds me of a comic by the name "Skeleton soldier couldn't protect the dungeon". It's a good read for anyone who like dark fantasy world.

Looks great! The combat system looks deep. Just one issue I had from the moment I saw the thumbnail, where does "playing as the monster" come in? I mean I see that the character is a skeleton, but what differentiates him from a regular souls game character? When I read the title of the video I expected to see the main character be like a huge boss or something against smaller enemies etc.

This was insanely hard, can you tell when will the first open beta will arrive? Just wishlisted on steam

This looks great! I hope you also plan on implementing clothing to make your character look unique and different weapon buff's like frost,bleed,magic or fire damage

Great work!

They could implement in Elden ring and Dark souls series invading mechanic which could let u control roaming enemies like in strategy game, where u could gather them in one big army or armies and rush into host and his coop helpers .

Nice update!

Reuploaded a new version of the video. the old one seems to have issues with TH-cam's compression.

I really appreciate the detail you’re putting into the enemy AI and group dynamics. Can’t wait to play the finished product!

Progress looks good. 👍👍

🎉💀

thx for this video man very helpful, if you need any music for your project let me know I'll be happy to craft something for this nice concept of a game

really nice music. Great job. Fits the athmosphere.

I don’t envy your mental state having to carry out such a feat. But it paid off and you must feel so much better afterwards. Well done. Keep it up. Do not quit. You have a great foundation here! 🎉❤

I was looking for some Enviro footage - thanks, you gave a great overview!

Nice work bro🎉 Few suggestions: 1. Make animations much more smoother. 2.Make combat feel good(like in god of war) by adding better collisions, etc. 3.Also teak up the skeleton and give it some personality. MUCH LOVE❤

Do not give up

Game engine users calling themselves devs now hahaha funny

+1 for stats

Graphics need an overhaul

Great progress man 💟

Hello, please dont give up on your game, I'm waiting patiently for it and I'm excited for it. Its a great concept and looks very fun.

So, you had everything in 1 giant script, then moved to ECS. That's good to hear! BUT HOW DID THAT TAKE 3 MONTHS?! I mean, I'm sure you're not doing this full time and granted, I don't know the size of the original script. Maybe you had tens or even hundreds of thousands of lines of code. But 3 MONTHS to just implement a basic ECS is crazy when its pretty early on in development. This just goes to show that proper planning, having a good game design doc, or just thinking about how systems will interact with one another BEFORE you start implementing things is HUGELY important. Especially if you dont have hours and hours to spend every day coding. I'm working on an mmo (lol I know but its mostly just for fun). I spent WEEKS working through everything in literally just a google doc. I have 17 document tabs in my game design doc, each tab has multiple sections, each section, multiple pages. Different systems, how they interact with one another, potential issues they could cause, pros and cons of different systems and methods for certain things, how should I have my enums set up, what even should be an enum. Like implementing something like an ECS for my game. I knew I had to have that from the start, because I was going to have SO many different components, because you can't have everything in a single script well, you can depending on your game. If its super simple, its not that big of a deal (Undertale), but for more complex games its a massive problem. Stats, inventory, equipment, abilities, buffs, debuffs, states (state enums, handling the previous state, state timers/durations, state flags, validating state transitions, handling state entry/exit logic, broadcasting state changes to other systems), and how each of those has a component, and a system. Splitting everything up into entities (players, other characters, ai), components (attributes like health, stats), and systems (logic that operates the components)... In a lot of ways its kind of like C++. Where you have the header and source files right. Giving each component a specific, single responsibility. Also makes things a bit more difficult because I'm using JSON, then moving to SQLite and then SQL further on down in development. So, for any other indie game devs, or potential users curious about it. Spending some time thinking about these in a bit more detail (You dont have to go AS CRAZY in detail as me, I just like going full autism and deep diving through every possible little thing to make sure everything is perfect and up to industry standards) can save you a huge amount of time, and make the overall process not just better but ... Make you not want to quit/give up!

i think most, including myself, start off cramming everything in to one script just to realize modular is best. the sooner you accept it upon realizing the better. so good choice.

Great things deserve much more views

Thank you for sharing this, was looking at other vids, tutorials, using cinemachine and all kinds of code just for the lock on feature. You showed how it works with a few adjustments in cinemachine, great stuff!

Nice to see that you are hanging in there. ᕦ(✧╭╮✧)ᕥ RPGs are extensive, incredibly so. You have to cover and combine so many game techniques. Honestly, the main thing is that you bring your own wishes and love into it. How do you imagine your personal game? What is something that you think is an enrichment for you? The modular AI has many advantages. For one thing, you don't always have to reinvent the wheel, you can put together what the character needs. On the other hand, it also makes it easier for the player to understand the game world and its inhabitants, as they are based on the same principles. Similar to the hunt, standardised and therefore easier from both sides. Of course, you could also say that this makes all characters look the same, but it reduces the random factor, chaos and confusion. LOD is very important (ꈍᴗꈍ) as there are many more possibilities in open worlds. The weapons look really good ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ) want to have ლ°_ °)ᕗ Slimmed-down areas for NPCs make a lot of sense. It might just be difficult with dynamic worlds or changing situations and for cheesing. ㆆᴗㆆ

Thank you for allowing me to do the recent playtest

great work dude, keeping things modular is always a good idea! Looking forward for next update!

Glad you're still making progress, June! The game looks great. Game dev is an absolute mountain of work, but you're climbing it. Journey before destination!
