We just finished uploading the bug-fixed version of our game: Feed Me. Make sure to give it a try!

The choice of a story-based game didn’t leave us much time to playtest during the jam. Still, we’re quite satisfied at the result of our first Ludum Dare!

Let us know what you think heart.

The idea of a japanese-themed style for Demonic Digestion came suddenly, and I ended up sticking with it not knowing exactly why.

Being an anime & manga nerd and a karateka, I've always been passionate about Japan and its culture. Because of this, I didn't have to dig into deep research before being able to pull out a convincing style, that gave the game a distinctive feel.

Also, there are already some well-known games that heavily reference a traditional japanese style, and I was especially influenced by Okami and Zelda the Wind Waker.

Here are the first concepts for our game:

But for me it wasn't simply a strategic move: I had a lot of fun quoting Japan's traditional symbolism and its repertory of colorful demons, called yokai. I tried referencing existing yokai as much as I could. For example, the boss from our game explicitly (and very roughly) quotes the gashadokuro demon as it was depicted by Utagawa Kuniyoshi:

Here are some other ukyo-e that show where some choices in our game came from: - http://www.japantimes.co.jp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/z4-haruhara-specter-c-20140711.jpg - https://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/45hiroshigecat-crossing-to-eat.jpg?quality=80

I hope you enjoyed this small behind the scenes of Demonic Digestion, and also I hope I tickled your curiosity towards some aspects of Japan's tradition :)

Thanks for the read, and remember to see all this in action by checking out Demonic Digestion!
