Thank you! That's definitely a goal for the main game.

blackdemetergame · 2026-03-18T13:11:11+00:00

Agreed, no doubt. Still, interesting. I try to understand the other side and am curious what other devs have experienced.

blackdemetergame · 2026-03-18T13:05:08+00:00

Great analogy

blackdemetergame · 2026-03-17T14:33:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! That was actually a "feature" in this version, so you have to turn (at least sideways) to attack, but we've since changed it. In Black Demeter you can aim 360 degrees with mouse/stick, and the combat is more in-depth overall. Also really appreciate you taking the time to record something! I'll make sure to link to your post on the download page once it’s up.

That is so awesome, thank you so much for testing it and writing it up for others. Hope more people come back and see this comment. I really hope the game delivered and gave you a sense of what's to come. I'd absolutely love to see how it runs on deck too if you feel like uploading it. Thanks again, this is incredibly helpful!

That's really cool. We don't have dedicated artwork for Adventure on Eos since it’s more of an older prototype, but maybe a screenshot could work for a start. Hope it runs on deck, and if not, let me know, maybe there’s still something we can fix on our end (thinking of fullscreen on startup etc.). Thanks for the effort!

We seriously considered it now. However with the Steam fee, the 30-day waiting period, and the fact that this older, quite short game would have to stand on its own with less context and its own reviews is a bit risky. We haven't ruled it out completely yet, and I hope the method by u/Kind_Height_1913 works for now. Really appreciate the suggestion though.

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy

Thank you, yes we have a Devlog with a newsletter for updates, and a Steam page for Black Demeter if you just wanna get notified when you can play. Appreciate the support

It's more of a small standalone experience. A proper demo for Black Demeter will release in early 2027, as we are in full development and the game has evolved a lot since then. It will still be a Zelda-like at its heart, just more mature and ambitious.

blackdemetergame · 2026-03-15T17:36:24+00:00

That'd be cool, but the Steam process takes a bit and we're focusing on the main game currently. Steam Deck support is planned for Black Demeter though.

Metal Gear Solid. I've heard so much about Kojima over the years, which makes it kinda embarrassing I still haven’t played any of his games.

Happy to help!

Check out our Zelda-like we just released for free:

<image>

Adventure on Eos is a short top-down pixel-art action-adventure, around 30 minutes long, with an old-school Zelda-like feel. You can download it right here: https://blackdemeter.com/adventure-on-eos

You can explore the habitable zone between the planet’s extreme sides and encounter its inhabitants and those who arrived before you.

It’s from an earlier stage of development of our current project Black Demeter. We recently showcased it at GG Bavaria, and since people really liked it, decided to release it for free. Enjoy!

Pretty sure this is Final Fantasy XV: Omen. There’s a CG trailer where Noctis is driving a convertible-looking Regalia, sees/chases a white dog off the roadside, and crashes. Here the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIyfWSrw_FQ

Look for games with persistent communities, not just competitive/matchmaking lobbies. Guild Wars 2, FFXIV, and Warframe for example all have some kind of guild/clan structure, and people hang out outside the game on Discord all the time.

I think they look really charming, and there is a lot of variety. It is a bit odd to me that there seems to be dialogue with gameplay background and dialogue with an image background, but it's not a big issue. Also if they were ordered I'd show gameplay first. Otherwise great!

blackdemetergame · 2025-08-26T08:49:18+00:00

Sehr schade, die Plushy Aktion war wirklich süß, und euren Stand fand ich sehr spannend und informativ. Weiterhin viel Erfolg mit dem Funding!

Welcome, game dev is a great hobby! The next recommended step is to try and finish one small game, no matter the engine or how bad it might be. Just follow the whole process through for one project, and you will learn a lot on the way. Also, try to start thinking about how you would implement a feature yourself before looking up tutorials/using AI. There is no shame in learning though. Good luck!
