[Slimekeep Devlog #37]
In this video I added in a new start screen for Slimekeep, which looks awesome in my opinion. I also tweaked a bunch of small things, added some more polish, and added a backstory to the game.
About me:
Hey, I'm BenBonk, an indie game developer who uses the Unity Engine. I've made and released many small games before on my itch page, though now I'm attempting to make my first commercial game, Slimekeep. Slimekeep is a roguelike, using a very limited color palette, similar to Enter the Gungeon, though with a few interesting mechanics, such as keeping slimes alive longer will earn you more money, and the ability to capture slimes to power up your slime pet. If you enjoyed anything you saw, please consider subscribing, as it really helps me out.

thats brilliant
It would be cool if you made a stats screen in the computer and like NPCs with quests
ADD a katana to the game for the player to use because you added a samurai skin
I just met you on discord
Devtip: Secrets are fun, so designing something like as simple as having a 1% Benbonk hairdo on a slime would encourage players to replay the game and discover more.
Yeah, I agree. Stuff like that would be pretty funny
@@BenBonk maybe references to old games?
Or just some random room with partying slimes?
Maybe a room that hints at there being a slime resistance?
@@Tomato3njoyer I like that last idea!
@@BenBonk you should definitely reference the king slime from terraria
@@Tomato3njoyer slime doggos partying in a room
Suggestion: You should make some sort of notification that pops up on the players screen when the conditions have been met to unlock a certain skin. This will create a sense of accomplishment for the player rather than the player randomly stumbling upon an new unlocked skin.
The start screen looks so good Ben! The samurai with a gun also hits different... (And sounds like it should be a game in itself "Samurai with a Gun")
Blamurai
add pig boss
I think the casings that fall should be just slightly smaller. At there current size they kind of draw too much attention. Otherwise, great video! Love the changes!
This devlog is always a vibe.
Yessir
I love how simple the cover art is, but gets all the basic characters shown and gives you a decent picture of what the game will look like.
I think for the slow mo shooting, you should have it for final hit on bosses or mini bosses. Also it could be a wind up shot.
I suggest maybe in the mini map instead of completely hiding the other places you haven't been to or is not in the room to instead make those room have a really dark tint to show that you have not went there yet. And maybe even add a mini-lock, its up to you.
Or it could have something covering it like fog or steel
Yay Devlogs! Slimekeep is looking very good! great job BenBonk!
The exploding barrels don't feel enough powerful in my opinion and the explosion effect could be improved - Great devlog!
Gotta love how the "make explosions leave craters and have bullet casings eject." suggestion was implemented into the game, it makes me wish game development for every game was as community involved as you've allowed it to be.
Keep up the great work, this game looks sick!
I always get super excited when you upload a new slimekeep devlog. Slimekeep is awesome.
love the devlogs cant wait for it to come out
It’s amazing to see how far this game has come.
Great devlog. I really like the start screen art, it really suits the game.
You should (if you want to) add a bestiary to insert lore about all the enemies and what they do and the best way to defeat them.
That cover art is looking awesome! I never expected you to include non-pixel art in the game, but it looks great nonetheless! Good job Thatworm! (Hope I spelled that right)
Thanks, and yeah that worm did an amazing job
you should add a "endless" mode where the slimes come in waves and in between waves you can upgrade your stuff and adding a new skin for the player after you beat "x number of waves"
I suggest adding more variety to the wall tiles and add some floor obstacles to make it look less empty
I have a boss idea. Make a giant red to yellow gradient slime which shoots yellow orange and red paint on the ground which would act like poison, maybe makeing a red small slime as minions. When you kill the boss the rewards are a red or yellow slime one good the other bad he has a 50\50 chance of getting a good weapon.
Hey, great video! I just wanted to leave this to say I've noticed you saying "in my opinion" a lot in recent videos. While I may not have any experience making successful yt videos, I don't think it's really necessary to say this unless you're talking about something controversial. But when you're talking about how a sprite or improvement to the game looks, an emphatic "this looks great" or "I think this looks great" would be better.
With that said, it's super cool to see the progress you continue to make with the game and I'm looking forward to its steam release!
Haha yeah, that's kinda just a bad habit of mine I guess. I'll try to stop saying it so much lol
can't wait for the full release, following this devlog has been wonderful so far :)
keep it up!!
Easter egg idea: on Mac builds only, add a “Macintosh mode”, which just makes the game monochrome green.
You should add screen shake when the tnt explodes
My idea is that the prologue should play whenever you make a new game i do love this game so keep uh idk your doing great though!
When the world gets really corrupted, so much that the fountain has a 100% chance you damaging you the fountain should be dried up with no liquid.
Reminds me of MoonKnight that came out a little while ago. Love the intro screen.
New UI looks awesome! Slowmotion is for me not enjoyable.. So maybe add it also in the settings to turn it off or on? The Panels looks fantastic, does this mean there will be lore in the game? Or how about adding multiplayer in it if possible. With LAN or Online friends where when adding more friends which will increase the difficulty of the game
Not sure if this was clear, but it was just something I messed around with. It’s not in the game as of now. About lore, there definitely will be some, and is some right now, but nothing too crazy. And yeah, multiplayer would be awesome but I just don’t really think it’s in the game’s scope right now
@@BenBonk Thanks for the answer, Multiplayer would probably be fun to play but likely chaotic for you and the players. Keep it up, man!
I feel like the house seems too person like for a house. Maybe a slime’s house doesn’t look like ours, kinda like shreks house matching what an ogre would live in. Cool video!
The green background of start screen should be changed... even the dark shade pallet is better
Maybe have the creatures hold , raise or interact with the letters? maybe small ones sliding into till it reaches "i" ?
Also it would be great if their numbers increase based on progression... start with the one above the logo then one type after the other start appearing when captured!
Like unlocking members in holocure...
Do the slimes have some kind of cheer sound? remember world of Goo? they used to make distinctive sounds like Yippee or Ohhh... maybe as collective they start chanting or something (Patapon)
Dang the logo looks sick
I really like the art style, keep it going!
I would like to have the walls turned into hills, that would make sense instead of walls that look like a dungeon crawler.
I can’t wait to get it
it’s finally happening
wait... I'm making a game called slime's passage, which is a platformer game were you play as a slime, SAVING SLIMES THAT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED (obviously completely unrelated to your game but I just think its a funny coincidence)
That’s it, I’m suing you
@@BenBonk I don't have that kind of money...
You see, how the hill works is that you can walk on it, but you’ll be at least 40 percent slower.
Idea: Maybe you could add different skins for the pet slime, similar to the player skins. I don't know which skins you could add, but still. Would be cool to see!
You should look into the intro to the first Dungeon Defenders. I could be helpful for some inspiration.
What a cool game
I sure do hope nothing bad happens to it on July 9th 2024
it would be cool if the player had a choice to capture or kill the bosses and a way to somehow make a cure for the slimes and a way to slow down the corruption and have a normal mode when you defeat the slime king and one final slime pet skins.
I would really love to see skins for the pet that correlate to the skin that your currently wearing
I think that when an explosion happens there should be a bit of screenshake, but i'm no professional game dev so idk
I would like the TNT boxes explosion to be bigger like for example a small shock wave because the explosion is looking quit small looking now
By the way, the "pre-start screen" is called a splash screen. Love the work and the start screen!
"Okay i commisioned someone to make a start screen and there we go, thanks for watching" *video ends*
Always love these, am always looking forward to these. However tho, that checkerboard border doesn't really look the best. I like the first idea first just because the simplicity goes a long way. We want the people looking at the menu that opened, not really the border. Toher than that, the game just needs a little bit of animation polish, but then would be perfect!
you know it's a good day when BenBonk uploads a video
You should add the ability to unlock different colors by an overlay
Make the slime pet do damage and make so you can upgrade him for a summoner play style
DEVLOOOOOOG
Suggestion: I noticed on steam that all of the screenshots in the first preview are action-less (no gun blasts, etc). It may help capture interest (for people who don't look past the first slideshow) if there were some action scenes in it. I know you have them in the gifs below, but I think people may not get that far and wishlist if they don't see the fun they're looking for in a roguelike in the first section.
I literally just added the gifs last night, and was going to update the screenshots today lol
@@BenBonk Oh nice haha!
What if you could go back to the cutscene to rewatch it like if you accidentally skip it?
make a 0.001% chance for a slime to spawn as a piece of cheese
ik great idea
is the cut scene at the start sped up? (in the edit) cause if not i feel like it should be a bit slower because the slime bouncing animations and such look a bit to fast in my opinion. also i love the new floor design
Are you planning on adding steam deck compatibility?
I'd recomend having the background of the start screen slowly bob up and down.
I love these videos I wish you could keep adding updates so there could be more devlogs❤
Hey early squad! so happy! Keep up the good work Mr. BenBonk great content and I really enjoy all of the work you do!
Thanks :)
Another great devlog!
make a different art style to your game and also make the slimes in the background of the title screen be the ones bouncing stretching it will make the title screen look much better
You should make it so that the slime pet dies in battle but only to bosses and you have to revive him
Hey BenBonk! I am currently making a game and i just wanted to know how you managed to get such a good community and how you got your game to get so well known. I don't have any money or anything to hire people, but i suck at making art and music. I would absolutely love to know how you got such a great community and how you came this far.
Hey, thanks dude. I mean the only way I really managed to garner such a community is from these devlogs. That’s where it all started, and that’s where I am today. So if you want to start trying to form your own community, publicly posting your progress of your game online can be a great start.
Alright, thank you so much!
it would aslo be cool if you made it a option to make the game pink or blue by adding a filter to it
im well aware ur color scheme is green but i think it would be cool that at different difficulties the colors would change to maybe going from green(easiest) to amber (medium) to red(hard)
i think the water got him at 4:40
It would be cool if there were secret rooms, like breakable walls that lead into normal rooms or lead to treasure.
Even though I can't get steam yet someday I will and I'll play your game
Will this Game Release for Mac (please)? It looks great and I love your devlogs, I would be happy to play this game when it releases 😀!
For the ui, I would try using a Gaussian blur system behind the ui. If that’s too hard, just darken the ui
The intro text should fall and bounce to the bottom and have some squash and stretch
took you 2 years to make that - anyway that art is amazing!
i think you should make the achievements less repetitive. instead of defeating a boss a number of times, you could make it so you have to do it in a certain amount of time.
Love your videos
Your game looks awesome! It might be my imagination, but the house design looks really happy. Is your game inspired by Enter the Gungeon?
Make a playable backstory mabey???
How did you learn to code. I am trying to start my game development journey, i’ve tried some tutorials but none have worked. Your game looks very good and I want to make a bullet hell game.
What do you mean they didntbwork
Maybe try to make game like pause a bit when your bullet hits a enemy like in breath of the wild
Is this game gonna be on mac
the buttons in the menus are a bit boring. try changing them. 10:15
would be nice to add some more color than just green
Hey I think the starting screen looks amazing, but the name blends in way too much with the background, maybe change the position or color?
I think it’s fine now that it’s slightly animated, can’t miss it
@@sky01james28 for me even though it's animated it blends in
Add rare collectables hidden in slimes
Hey will this game be steamdeck/ controller compatible
Noice!
cool
Petition for benbonk to make a sandbox game
👇
How much will it cost?
Is controller support planned?
I have a question that I have had for a long time: what is your profile picture? I’m not sure what it is.
Make the game go slowmotion when you get hit
just let beta make the entire game at this point
I think u should make bosses a little bit harder. They look too easy.
hi
Hi
How
How did you....
You must teach me your secrets
How can u coment before he posted the vid?
Everything is great but too much green
Heckyeah
add a wizard boss
Thought it was real 4:42
Suggestion: each skin could have a different ability so there is an incentive to unlock it. For example the samurai skin could have slightly faster movement speed or higher damage.
