    From an outside viewer this journey has been so short, but im sure that for you releasing the demo must be a long time coming. It is absolutely incredible the amount of talent, dedication and resilience you have shown. Firstly, its surreal how great your coding, music and art skills are! How can one person be so good at all of these. I have loved seeing you work through new challenges with the most positive attitude, its infectious. Additionally, congratulations on the showcase in Sydney, that feels absolutely wild and completely deserved. I was just in Sydney so its so disappointing i won't be able to see you there in person (unless.....). That's all to say thank you so much, I can't wait to see what the future holds.

    Wow beautiful work as always! A nice touch to the intro scene would be nice if it ended with the catacombs door opening slightly, the screen fading into black, while an eerie door creak sound plays, then the screen fade into the actual level. Just a small cinematic addition which I think would help add to the spookie theme. Best of luck and keep up the great work!

    THINGS I LOVE:
    Sfx and music is just very good
    THINGS THAT ARE GOOD:
    The atmosphere of the game is a very well done
    Each artifacts feels somewhat unique
    Bosses are well designed
    The Lore is good
    THINGS I BELIEVE NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:
    Fighting animation is not very smooth(i m sure u would be adding more frames in later stages)
    Please adjust the color values of your UI(also your UI is curved and smooth while your maps are very boxy )and lessen the alpha values of trajectory lines
    Please add coverups in your maps especially the sharp edge of your maps (it feels too boxy)
    Please zoom the camera(0.2/0.25 times)60% of the screen are just black areas (Hollow knight was zoomed out because it provided spacious areas and scenic value )

    Brilliant. Great intro. Your stamina and abilities are outstanding as is your art work and your implementation. Alone you are achieving more than what most small teams would achieve in half the time they'd take. Love all the new improvements and the presentation of the process you followed. Interestingly felt that one of the juice dust changes looked like he had just 'passed wind' which propelled him up and forward! I'm sure you will make a fortune from this and your future games. Your future challenge when you eventually create a studio, will be to recruit team members who have your vision, abilities and stamina, good luck with that. I feel your subscriber numbers should be increasing much more rapidly, will spread the word!

    I just beat the boss, yay!
    I know what you mean by the skill floor is high, it took me a few runs to get the hang of the tech. Especially the rolling into jump mechanics.
    A couple of little bugs or annoyances I found, often when I would successfully parry the crawling skeles I would still take damage.
    There was also a few occasions where you would simply get stuck in a part of the level and the reaper would continuously wail on you and there's nothing you could do haha.
    Once I finally figured out how to access the items behind the grass, I beat the game on that very run, that was an interesting puzzle to solve.
    Awesome game, I'm really looking forward to buying the full release.

    I feel like Samuel's voice should sound younger than it does? It sounds like he's like in his mid to late 20s when his character model resembles more of a child. Theres just a bit of disconnect between the two that really throws me out of the narrative, I dont think its bad but I just dont think it works completely.
    Unrelated but if youre thinking of boss music for our dear Augusta I'd like to make the argument to making her theme based on music boxes, as they can be quite elegant and creepy at the same time, with the added bonus of music boxes being little machines. I think a good reference would be the Eclipsa theme music used in the cartoon Star vs The Forces of Evil (Specifically from the episode Conquer) as she had a very similar vibe to Augusta.

    • @LighthoofDryden
      @LighthoofDryden  หลายเดือนก่อน

      He is supposed to be like 19/20, of age to inherit! I agree that the voice still sounds a little older though, so it isn't final :)
      I love the music box idea--her current music uses Piano (as the most "mechanical" and "virtuosic" instrument) but I really like the music box idea for the same reason--It could totally belong as another layer for sure!

    Some thoughts I had from this,
    > 1. The setup of area > shop > area > shop > boss might actually be for the best, though maybe not 2 shops. The best rogue-games I can think of off the top of my head are always trying to diversify things. A lot of areas in Nuclear Throne are broken up into 3 parts, with each one getting slightly harder. The floors in Gungeon are massive and always include a shop, some chest rooms, an NPC encounter or two, and a unique room along the way.
    Maybe Disinherited would benefit from something like area > unique encounter > area > shop > boss. This gives a pitstop style encounter for players where they can take a break from the main gameplay loop and experience something new, but also, could give you an opportunity to flesh out the story. Think of how in Hades, a lot of side encounters like Sisyphus or Eurydice not only give you an item or let you get some sort of loot, but also, drip feed you story. Having the shop last also allows players to spend their built-up currency to stock up basically.
    > 2. Maybe the Reaper shouldn't start chasing you until a certain threshold is reached. Plenty of rouges introduce some sort of endless pursuer in order to prevent players from being able to take their time and grind, i.e. the Reaper in Gungeon or the Reaper in Paranautical Activity (a lot of Grim Reapers in rougelites, huh?) but both of these games don't introduce them right away. You want players to be able to learn what they're doing before there's something chasing them down that cannot be stopped and kills them easily.
    > 3. Your foley design is absolutely awesome. Keep that up, it rules and sounds great.
    > 4. I like the new items, they work very well. I personally dislike whenever rouge games have two types of upgrades, Playstyle 1 and Playstyle 2. Darkest Dungeon 2 is a very distinct example of this because soooo many of the items are either, "You are stronger at low light" or "You are stronger at high light". In DD2, it feels like you find so many items like this and so few distinct ones that it quickly gets kind of repetitive and almost forces the player into a certain playstyle whether they want to or not.
    Super excited to start playing the demo, and I can't wait for your next dev log and wish you good luck at SXSW!

    Just wondering; will Samuel's mother ever appear in the game? If not in person, perhaps in a portrait in the mansion or during dialogue?
    Since Deadbeat Dad Charles and Short King Samuel are so different in personality and beliefs, I assume that Samuel got his compassionate and artistic nature from her.
