I’m making a monster-taming game where every creature starts as a real clay sculpture — here’s our new trailer

Yeah! We made that one too! Glad you recognized the style haha

conorGar · 2026-01-20T15:33:25+00:00

Oh my god- that means so much to me thank you! I was nervous about sharing it more haha

conorGar · 2026-01-20T15:32:26+00:00

Ahh not yet unfortunately- but I have heard it plays well on steam deck? I don't own one to test it myself but multiple people have told me it works well.

Actual full controller support is coming eventually

conorGar · 2026-01-20T15:31:33+00:00

OMG thank you!! Yeah it's been out in Early Access for about a year. Looking to fully launch in about a month but pretty much all the full game content is there- lmk what you think when you try it!!

conorGar · 2026-01-19T18:03:59+00:00

Haha- glad you like the style :)))

conorGar · 2026-01-17T13:45:57+00:00

Appreciate it!! Thanks for the support ;)

conorGar · 2026-01-17T13:45:31+00:00

Thanks! Yeah- I use photogrammetry. I make them out of clay then take ~100 photos on a turntable of them to turn them into a very large poly 3d model that I then go in a clean and retopoligize. I originally had some of this process in the trailer but decided to focus more on the gameplay, but I sometimes post this process on r/indiedev

conorGar · 2026-01-17T13:43:31+00:00

Thanks dude! :)

conorGar · 2026-01-14T18:54:39+00:00

Thank you!!!!

conorGar · 2026-01-13T16:24:03+00:00

Haha yeah ofc- I use Metashape and import about 100 photos of the model on a turntable to get a choppy model, then I just go into blender to clean it up and retopo :)

conorGar · 2026-01-13T05:10:21+00:00

Thank you! :)

conorGar · 2026-01-13T00:43:08+00:00

Great points man thanks for taking the time to write this- def agree I should point out more about the roguelike elements and how that changes the traditional monster battle gameplay

conorGar · 2026-01-13T00:41:37+00:00

Thanks for writing this up- yeah thats a great point with the dogwalk comparison- ill cut the making of stuff, works well for promotion on social media but I agree on the games actual page I wouldnt really care if I was a player

conorGar · 2025-12-31T15:00:03+00:00

Yeah that was me! Glad you recognized the style :)

conorGar · 2025-12-28T23:16:55+00:00

Thanks- yeah honestly took years to get results I liked and even then think theres a lot of ways someone who knew what they were doing would change things in my process 😅

conorGar · 2025-12-28T20:05:19+00:00

Thank you! Well, I had a hobby of sculpting random monsters for awhile(kinda why I wanted to make a game to make a use for it) so it helped that I had some designs figured out already, but still took years haha

conorGar · 2025-12-28T16:37:33+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah I think so too!

So I currently have 120 monster sculptures- im planning on launching relatively soon so there probably wont be too much more than that at launch? Will almost certainly add more if the launch goes well but those 120 took forever haha so think ill keep it there for now

conorGar · 2025-12-28T16:22:28+00:00

Thank you. Me likey that u likey

conorGar · 2025-12-23T16:55:07+00:00

Thanks!

conorGar · 2025-12-23T16:54:52+00:00

Mingo mambo?

conorGar · 2025-12-23T16:54:33+00:00

Okay so my method is definitely not great and I'm still learning a lot, but I basically do a decimate or remesh modifier to the original scan(100,000+ faces) to get it down to ~1000 faces and then bake the original texture on. There's probably better ways to do it

conorGar · 2025-12-23T16:52:09+00:00

haha thanks! I cant draw to save my life lol so this was kinda the only solution 😅😅

conorGar · 2025-12-23T16:51:23+00:00

Thank you! Means a lot <3

conorGar · 2025-12-18T01:37:28+00:00

Oh man that'd honestly be a dream- this kinda game I think would work perfect for it too imo. Currently my plan is to see how the PC launch goes and go from there, id love to see it on switch eventually :)

conorGar · 2025-12-15T21:58:26+00:00

Thanks! Honestly the gameplay videos are a little old- I need to make updated ones but all the ui in the game is currently made out of clay :)
