Having your family help you out when you need them, is a really nice contrast to the actual game.
I didn’t even think about that, but wow, so accurate!!
Daily reminder: Jesus Christ Loves you, so much infact he died for you so you can know. That if you have faith in him and accept his grace, you can have eternal life. Please, I know you might Not know but all humans punishment is hell, And we have a decision. To accept salvation from Jesus Christ or Choosr eternal suffering. Please consider following Jesus Christ, he wants to give you eternal life,love, peace. Please Just accept it. If you want to ask anything ask me. Truly, God bless you, and may Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Psy-Frame-Gamma im sad what the banlist did to you...
You and your mom are a musical POWERHOUSE!! Love it!!
Thank you Khro!!! We had wayy too much fun 😆
Ay look, threads friends unite. lol
Thanks for clarifying that Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens was written by Camille Saint-Saens, I would've gotten confused

How can someone be this talented😭. Game dev, piano, Violin and singing. Release these music so I can listen to this please
Aw shucks, thank you so much! I definitely want to release an OST for this game, but maybe in the meantime I can just upload tracks to TH-cam as I make them? (Maybe I’ll save that for after the 100 days though-I’d like more polish for something so “permanent”)
Awesome relationship with your mom :) I would like to suggest to lower the sound level of the sound effects, they are too loud compared to the music from the background. Or at least have the levels ina menu so that the players can fiddle with it.
Most definitely! I’m gonna be moving the project over to Wwise, so most sound design tasks are on hold until that’s done, but it’ll be relatively easy after that point to give mixing control to players (as well as do… any level of mixing on my end)

Ooh this is so cool, I haven't seen a lot of devts talk about what goes into the music composition before. Thanks for showing us your process!
Thanks for enjoying it!! I wasn’t sure how into it people were gonna be tbh 😅
@@LighthoofDryden So into it tbh, keep going, this is amazing !
Also if possible the music should kick in when the boss is activated. It is playing for like 5seconds in the somber slow part before it picks up. Feels like the music should pick up right when the fight starts. Idk how to fix that but yeah.
probably just extend the animation for the entry of the boss fight
or also extend the dialogue
Totally easy to do! I’m imagining there will be some kind of “pre-fight” animation eventually that will occupy that time, which is why that little lead-in is there!
So I've listened to the final theme for like, 10 times now, and here's some of my subjective feedback:
- At first I wasn't sure about this - I thought the mix sounded too spacious for my liking, but I figured that this actually kinda makes sense for a catacomb location, and it grew on me. Though you might want to consider when making later themes
- A general tip - keep in mind that the player can beat the boss at any moment, including the moments where the theme is still playing, or after it has ended. You don't really want to abruptly pause the theme when the boss dies, nor to simply loop it as it is with a vert noticeable seam, so you need to write music with that in mind - it needs to have multiple moments where you can jump to the "final chord" if the bossfight is over, and it needs to be able to loop seamlessly while the fight is going
- My main concern is that I don't think the theme *really* suits the boss here - Guillaume is a big bulky dude with a shovel, but his theme is an elegant, almost playful piece with high-pitched violin as its main focus. I incredibly enjoy the piece itself, but idk about it being Guillaume's theme specifically. I'd personally really change the vibe here, including picking lower-pitched instruments as leads (though the idea to make it dance-like still fits imo)
Besides that - wow, watching you play violin is the most inspiring thing ever, and don't get me started on the duet in the end - you and your mom are amazing! I would really like to see more of this stuff, it's so good!
Agreed it sounds a little whimsical
I said something in my own comment but regarding point 3, that really depends on what role the music is taking in the storytelling. Not every piece of music is a character leitmotif -- this could represent the MC's internal monologue, for instance, rather than Guillaume's. The realization that this is the point of no return, and he can't give up on his quest once he passes this point.
This will make sense to the player intuitively if the backing tracks are consistently used this way in other parts of the game.
@@silvercakes Ohh, that's a great argument, I didn't really consider this to be honest... Though I imagine this comes with an important decision, whether to focus the narrative on the MC and their introspection or on the game world and its story. The former actually sounds quite interesting now that I think about it, but I'm also really interested in Guillaume's story :D Gonna hope that the game explores both of these in some way, haha
Ay thanks! I should be able to use Wwise’s adaptive music workflow to quickly transition to the last measure without too much trouble. I’m never that far outside the key area, so jumping to a big “V-i” shouldn’t be too jarring regardless of where we are!
And yeah, for a pure “Guillaume theme” I will likely take some material from this and have it be slower and low-but as he is surprisingly nimble and leapy (and also not so dark and sinister as some bosses) I wanted to bring a bit more levity to his fight music.
I’m bursting to share more of his story, too, but I think that’ll be best reserved for the game itself!!
@@LighthoofDryden Haha, all of that sounds so exciting! Awaiting for 12 hours long lore videos
Lets enjoy what you cooked up this week
I can imagine in a decade a whole orchestra playing the Guillaume boss theme
We can only hope 🥺
I normally give this advice about dads, but I'm sure it's true for mothers, too: They want to feel useful, so having them do this kind of thing, even if they didn't _really_ need to, is a great way to make them happy and continue feeling fulfilled. :)
She totally needed to, if only so that I could not cringe at every imperfection in my playing every time I heard it 😆
But you’re so right-I love feeling useful just as much too
Haven't watched yet obviously but I'll like it for your mom
Edit: watched it now and the like stands lol
The best choice
I really want to see an optional boss encounter in this game. For example you come into a room and there is this giant, chained monster. You can set him free and battle for a cool ability, but he is very hard, or skip him and not risk it. The ability could be whenever your light completely goes out, all of the mobs on the screen get chained(stunned). Love the work ❤
Ohhhh I can see it in my head already and it’s so cool
I really have to say it is unreal to me how sympathetic and talented you are. This was easily one of the most enjoyable devlogs I have ever watched. This genuinely felt like joining you on your journey and taking part in your design and composition process. I wish you the best in your quest to finish this game and am looking forward to playing it one day :) Keep the work going, you are awesome!
Wow, thank you, this is one of the most encouraging comments I think I’ve ever received! Thanks for being here :)
I think it could be cool that when the Walls Drops the Screen gets extremly shaky and They drop slowly
The most anticipated devlogg!!!
Thank youuu aaaaaa
The sheer JOY of 6:22 is unparalleled lol. Its always a bless to have people you love working with you in something you love.
Cant wait for the next devlog.
Thanks for sharing your journey o/
Thank you 🧡 we were absolutely having a blast!
I've enjoyed your previous devlogs but the music in this is what got me to start up steam and wishlist the game.
Oh wow, what an honor!! Thank you 🙏
Let's go!!! The best day of the week because of you!
Aww I hope it delivers!!!
Seriously, the fact you have the ability to play so many instruments beautifully, do amazing art, and program a game all together is something I can't even put into words. It's absolutely incredible.
Thank you, I’m still learning in so many of these disciplines, but it’s so nice to read that it at least seems like I know what I’m doing 😆 appreciate you being here!!
I don't know how hard I'd be to code, but screen shake when he runs and hits the ground or walls would make it better in my opinion
There’s a touch in there already, but this is probably a sign I need to crank it up!
Sounds amazing
Man, involving your mum was the cutest thing! Thank you for your passion! I believe, that is going to be a great game to play!
P.S. The music is awesome!
Thank you so much!! I thought it would be fun to bring her in and it so was 😄
Duet lowkey sounded good
So happy you added the shovel throw, also these devlogs have become a marker for passage of time in my life now, everytime I see a new one i think : "damn its been a week already?".
Great music btw
Thank you!! It’s surreal to be a part of another person’s “calendar” like that haha. And I think the shovel throw is such a perfect addition to his kit!
This was super cool! I absoulutely love classical music and the vibes here were immaculate. Im really hoping I get chance to incorporate some classical style music down the line in future games, my current projects have all arcade/retro music
Ooo I’d loveee to hear what you do!!
Great piece! I feel like the music is too quiet compared to the sound effects, but it sounds great!
Thank you!! I’m moving all the audio to Wwise soon, so I haven’t bothered to mix-probably should have put a disclaimer or something 😂
Your other music has been amazing, so I KNOW this music will be good!!
Thank youuuu that means a ton!!!
here before premiere
this was awesome! keep up the great work!!
Insaaane Work ur outdoing urself :D LOVE IT
Aaahh thank you!! Hope to outdo myself again this coming week!
The title is so good! I can't wait to watch!
Thank you!! It’s a big switch-up so we’ll see how it goes 😅
3:48 got goosebumps🔥🔥
6:16 another
and 8:09 another .............bro turn a devloge into music show🔥 , hats off🙌
Aahh thank you!! I was a little nervous making it into such a music show, but this makes me glad I did!!
Damn week 2 felt like yesterday
To me, too 😅🥵
Makes me wanna learn violin, great video!
You should!! It’s my favorite instrument to teach!
absolutely amazing so far! im a huge fan of orchestral music myself and just from this one bossfight I can tell this games OST is going to be amazing! if you hadn't already planned it you should definitely release the OST alongside the game
It’s my dreeaammm to release an OST!! So glad you enjoyed it!
New Devlog!
You just made my week.
Ahh I’m so happy to hear it!!!
Your mom seems awesome haha
The boss theme sounds super cool! I’m really impressed with your musical talent, I think it helps your game and you as a developer stand out. So stoked to hear all the boss themes!
Great to see you having fun even within tight schedules. Keep it up!
Thank you!!! And I will certainly try! 💪
Nice video as always and great music. That ending part was also really cool and dynamic. Cheers
Thank you so much!! Even with my lil flubs in that part, I knew I had to include it cuz it was so fun
Dude, this is absolutely amazing. I would so love to be able to compose like this!
It’s my favorite part 😄😄 and thank you!!!
The last bit of you and your mom jamming is so wholesome
YESSS I’m so hyped for you! Love Godot and would 100% choose it as well if I were starting right now
As a former band kid, seeing you play your instruments and talking in music talk spoke to me
Thank you!! What was your instrument??
New relics!!!
Sorry to disappoint, there were supposed to be more but they didn’t get done this week 😩
@@LighthoofDryden no problem as long as we get weekly vids
This is the most wholesome devtuber. Just a guy loving his work, and we're invited to watch the wonderful things he builds. Keep it up man! I look forward to these videos
Thank you, that’s exactly the vibe I always hoped I could get across in these-that the process can be intrinsically joyful. Appreciate you being here!!
Song of the summer 🔥🔥🔥 gonna blast this shit out my jeep grand cherokee w the windows down baby
🤣🤣🤣
I’m so excited to play this game!!! The combat system is what intrigues me the most, as parrying and even throwing things usually isn’t seen as the main focus, but I love it! And side note: I am a digital artist and have done a few album covers for a few smaller people, so as a fellow artist, I love the art style put into this game.
Thank you so much!!! This kind of combat system definitely comes with its design challenges, but it’s been working so far!
And thank you, I always especially appreciate kind comments from artists-it’s an area I’ve been working hard to “catch up” on!
dude you are unbelivably crazy good keep it up holy sheeesh
Thank you so much, that means a lot aaaa
With Guillaume, I would say he needs like a quick punch, spin attack, or a circular shovel swing if you linger too long by him.
Ooh, that’s wise. From a design perspective and from a “making sense” perspective. If you’re right there, he’d smack ya.
Lets go mom! That music track sounds awesome! You both did a really good job, cant wait to kick Guillame's butt myself!
Also that duet at the end? GOOSEBUMPS. Cant wait to see what other music you come up with for this!
Aaah thank you so much for your kind words!! Making the music is always like a “little treat” for me ☺️
I've done the exact same things where I had the weapon drawn into the sprite, so I feel your pain there. And your mom is freaking awesome. Lot of talent in that family.
My dad is a killer conductor and trombonist, too!!
And lol right?? You just never quite know what the needs are going to be when you start out with something 🤪
Good job so far.
Here is something i noticed: the big stone gravestone at the boss room is looking a bit to simple for such a central pice of decoration, baybe you could add some cracks on the stone to add detail or one of those metal plates with the name of someone on it, and maybe put some lore into it?
Yeah! I agree-when I was drawing it I didn’t know *how* I wanted to use it, but I definitely *do* want to use it for lore. Might even have it change or something 🤔
Good eye for seeing that negative space tho, I don’t think anyone else has called it out 👀
These develops are awesome but if I could recommend any ideas I would say a mummified pharaoh boss who has a part of the catacombs that's basically a temple with lots of more traps than the rest of the map, either way, this game will be great.
Oh mannn that’d be so sick-and totally tracks with the immortality theme. I feel like I could make 100 bosses for this game and not run out of ideas
I hope you have a good week 💓
Im feeling sooo much proud that i was here from the beginning with this amaaaazing game🙌🔥
So happy you’ve been here too 🧡
This is too friggin wholesome and I love it
I think every boss should have their own unique health bar object. Doesn't make sense that Guillaume has a scythe as his attaching weapon is a shovel.
That’d be such a cool flourish, although the thing was unexpectedly such a nightmare to get right that I don’t relish the thought of returning to it 😂
Oh my gosh!! The part at the end with your Mum is so incredibly wholesome!! Loved this devlog!
Thank you!! We had faaaar too much fun (had to cut so much footage I wanted to throw in 😆)
I look forward to these devlogs every week!! I'll definitely be purchasing the game when it comes out. you got this!!
Thank you!! It’s so cool to hear that you actually look forward to ‘em, that’s so motivating
Consider reminding us to wishlist your game! I just went to my wishlist and realized I hadn't added it yet! Game is looking great, and I continue to be eager to see the final results! I feel like this is going to have a familiar vibe while also feeling very different from a gameplay perspective. Keep up the great work!
Oh yeah, I should be doing that, shouldn’t I? I’ll make sure to in the next vid!
You should add an underwater area with the immortal jellyfish as a boss
Damn, The whole family is talented, great progress, I would suggest give the boss some "ughh" , "uuu" sounds and some sighs *sad noises* when attacking. All the best, following all your devlogs.
Heck yeah, he’s gonna have vocals (and impacts, and other things too) eventually! Once I get around to an SFX pass… 😅
If you ask me, that "fall apart" moment at the end could have a place in it to add some uneasiness!
Oooh you might be onto something here!!
Dude that's so cool to have your mom in there. Love how supportive she is and she's an incredible player!
She’s sooo good, and has been such a cheerleader for me too!!
Still freaking loving this series. Keep it up!
something tells me this will be a "bought an album and got a cool game for free" type of game
and I'm all for it
I’m so hyped about this comment ngl, thank you
Oh my god, I remember absolutely loving your music during the dev competition. And the boss music sounds absolutely amazing, I would love to have a game soundtrack when the main game release. I'll give you all my money! haha, keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you aaahhh!! This is so nice!
I’m beginning to understand where this game is getting it’s unique charm. I interact with many game devs, and I’ve never met one with your particular impressive set of skills/talents
Gonna print this out and frame it haha. Thank you, that’s extraordinarily kind
Wow, just wow. As a musician myself I just love that you devoted (half) a week to this piece and the result is absolutely beautiful. I already loved your music but man, you (and your mother ofc) are so talented!
Thank you Boter!! That means so much!
love the climbing as a viable dodge
Watching you play the violin makes me want to be able to style like that when I play music :D
Love to see a small behind the scenes of two people really enjoying the art that they're making together
Boss fight looks good! I might suggest some color of damage number for the player, just to see how much the hit is without having to dart eyes over (just as personal preference)
Sound design is pretty decent as well, could tell a few more effects might need to be added
hope there are sounds sliders in the final version
Overall another great devlog!
Oh yes, I’ve done almost no SFX work yet-much more to come :)
And I totally agree on the player damage number-it’s something I’ve been meaning to add but keep forgetting 🤪
you are quickly becoming one of my favourite game dev channels like omg this is all so fucking quality.
aw omg and the end was so sweet
Thank you so much, that’s amazing to hear!! I’m glad you’re here!
I do absolutely love the deep dive in the music process
Very glad to hear that!! I was a little nervous to go so deep on it in a devlog, but it seems like it was a good choice!!
Wth every sound you made with the violin was fucking majestic
Aaaa I only ever hear the “room for improvement” in my own playing, so this is just lovely to hear ❤ thank you
You and your mom are both incredible musicians, and loving the progress! Can't wait until you have all the SFX done for the boss battle to make a complete soundscape.
I know some people said that the music doesn't fit the boss, but that's very subjective and depends on what role your music is taking in the story -- is the track representing the boss's fate? The MC's state of mind as he fights? The threshold between living and dead? Etc. With such musical talent you have the opportunity to make the song its own character and fill in story gaps without using any dialog or cutscenes, the way a lot of old games did.
Keep it up!
Thank you so much!! I always think it’s interesting how many options there are for *which* emotions to bring out in the music.
And yeah for real, with sound design as my secondary discipline (after music) I’m champing at the bit to get to fill in SFX. Everything except the parry, Samuel’s vocals, and the reaper’s breathing are just stock stuff right now and it pains me 😆
Came from the Blackthorn video and the game looked amazing. Now realise you are also a super talented musician! Amazing!
Thank you, that’s too kind!!
The extra bit at the end brought a smile to my face, you guys are great!
Love your videos 😅
Ahh thank you Caleb! Hope everything is going great with your dev too!!
I love this episode. You are such a talented person: Music, Gamedev, Knowledge.
I love how you combine everything together in this game. Beatifull.
Thank you so much, I was nervous about making it so music-focused but y’all’s response has made me really happy I did!!
That music feels like it should’ve been performed after months of practice, it a week!
If I had been the one performing it, it really would have needed months!! Hahaha
This is awesome!!
most ppl click random 8bit stuff and you're going through the damn roof! Also: your mom seems to be the cutest person ❤
She 100% is!! Just puts her all into everything she does! ❤
It would be really cool if you could fight the old red eye in a secret boss fight during the boss fight he could use relics to boost his power while slaming his cane on you. After, he drops his red eye with is a relic which gives you red nightvision and next time you see him you get discounts and he has a bandage over his eye this would help dark speed runs because they can see more and get discounts. Another idea is a light relic, which is super rare, and it allows you to heal when it's max light but not by a lot. If you do this, you can decide how you get it, but it would also help heal your cat. This is because I think it would be cool if you could find your cat in the catacombs, but he's mutated and will attack enemies when stunned, but it wouldn't be allowed in boss fights also he would sometimes wander off and come back to you later. I hope this helps you and you use them, but if you don't, that's fine. Good luck with the game. I can't wait to play it.
Sorry for being long
Never too long, these are really interesting!! I’d love to have a Redeye fight, personally… and I definitely hadn’t thought of using light to heal, I’m trying to think of how to implement that because it could be really cool. Maybe it’s like “if you leave an exploration area with above X% light, you heal X amount” or something. That could really work!
I love solo devs so much, especially ones as talented as you. It feels like a medium you can do everything with to music, art, coding and level design. So much creativity for one project! Really love this project and can't wait until I get to play it!
Thank you so much, this is so nice 😭
mannn ive been waiting for this! ❤
8:40 really beautiful!
Thank you!!! ❤️
that was so cool man
That theme is out of this world, amazing
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot 🥹
Absolutely brilliant as always. You are clearly one of the most multi-skilled, highly talented game developers on the Tube! Even if I had your skills (artistic, musical, game dev) I feel I'd have to work 8, 30 hour days a week to come anywhere near to your output. I liked this a lot this week as it really focussed in on a single aspect with if I may say so, outstanding results. Well done!
Thank you so much, this means a hell of a lot of hear!!!
Yes i love your content it makes my day
That makes MY day!
Watching you and your mother both play was so delightful! Very wholesome to watch :)
Thank you!! We had so much fun with it 🤪
You're crushing it man, keep up the great work and that music is incredible.
Thanks my guy!! You crushed it in the latest PassTheGame too, the gambling implementation 🤌
Me, not knowing a single thing about music: I like your funny words, magic man!
😆😆😆
You are making some of the most entertaining devlogs I have seen in a while. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait for the game to get released!
Making parrying and reflecting projectiles/attacks your primary way to deal damage is a really cool idea which I don’t think I’ve seen before in a rouge like. Though it made me think. Are you going to add relics which increase the damage your regular attack deals? It could make for some builds where you actually just fight bosses by repeatedly hitting them instead of reflecting their attacks which I think could be funny to see in this game
Thank you so much, that means a lot!!
And yesss haha, there’s a bead called the onyx bead. In the early days there was a “forbidden build” where you could make your bash hitbox enormous, your cooldown almost nothing, and be dealing like 50 damage per swing 😆 things are more reasonable now, but Bonk still lives on!
loved the music for the fight, and seeing you and your mother play together was so cool! looking forward to hearing more about writing the different boss themes.
Thank you!!! I’ll have to make that a regular thing :D
Fantastic Devlog as always! Your progress is amazing :D
Thank you, this is so kind!
Man on the Internet, get the lyrics ready, this game needs a song package
I can ONLY HOPE 🫢
Love it!!!
Literally had my mouth wide open when i heard you olay the violin for the first time 😭😭
Aww, thank you, that’s so nice to hear 😅
Ahhh man this process is so cool to see
Thank you so much!!
the music goes hard
Omg, you are like an entire game studio in one person. Impressive! The music is so good!
Thank you so much!! Man, I’m trying to be 😅😅😅
@@LighthoofDryden you are doing great!
