I Made a Dark Souls!

I used Bitsy to remake Dark Souls as a cute little pixel game!

As someone who is making small video games, and especially exploration-heavy adventure games and rpgs, I found this very fun and enlightening. I've never heard of Bitsy before now, and now I'm excited to check it out and see what sort of tiny stories I can create. Thank you for showing this off!

Now thats cute as hell
I think changing color for difrent locations would be really easy way to make them fell diffrent. Like making anor londo yellow.
Hope somone makes full fan game in this format

As a fan of this art style, I would feel guilty not to mention Pico-8 in case you aren't aware of their existence. Similar to Bitsy, Pico8 is a "fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other computer programs". Huge recommendation if you like the idea of tiny games, or at least exploration of them. Besides that, Im big fan of the channel and Im really looking forward to seeing your progress on the TTRPG, its always insightful to see your design process through words that then extend to mechanics.

When I was designing the introductory dungeon for my Soulslike TTRPG Runecairn, I did exactly what you do here and adapted the Undead Asylum into a dungeon. It helped me look at how to best ease new players into the system and mechanics. Great job on this video and great work on this game!

I can't feel I fully appreciate well-minded people such as the way you pleasantly present yourself, sharing your truly talented and genuine work. Exchanging your perspective and understanding in a understandable, intelligent way that is worth an ear.

This is an extended message of the following statement that I must stress: you inspire, bring joy, I along many others thank you.

11:30 "Embrace the limitations . . ." Yes! The most creative, engaging, and memorable games I've every played, and stories I've read, embrace this philosophy. :)

This is so cool. As someone who's into pixel games and dabbling in making their own, it's really cool to see how people design such sweet looking tiny sprites and overcome game engine limitations.

Man, if I'd had you as a teacher in art school, I would've learned so much more and been so much more invested!

[dgg]

It's always useful to expand your horizons! Good job!

Bitsy looks really fun! Thank you for spotlighting it!

[mewwww]

Love this! I spend large chunks of my free time playing with pixel art and game dev, so this is like my dream content!

So happy to finally see one of your videos again! love the nostalgic feel of simple games. I hope covid didnt hit you that hard, cant wait for part 2 of TTRPG!!!!

[rayjustice]

Great stuff crow, love seeing the variety and your personal touch on projects like this

[dextra]

this is so cool! i bet your students love you!

This reminds me of old school game maker (pre studio) which started my love for code and game dev.

I wish I could meet someone as talented to make projects together with..

You turned "Look at that cool thing I made" into "Here's what we can learn about dungeon and encounter design by looking at darksouls".
Didn't see that coming.
Probably should have.

This was awesome, I’m gonna consider diving in and breaking it. An asset like this is what I’ve been looking for to get a classic NetHack or Dwarf Fortress feel but more readable so I can share it with my friends.

[ThePixelPear]

Cool! You turned a bloody fast paced high skill action game, to a puzzle "point & click" adventure

[benjaminloyd]

I'm gonna sharpen my pitchfork...just in case ;{)

Hope you feel better.
