Greetings from NDEV GAMES!

We are pleased to share the first developer's notes for Fatal Claw!
Through these dev logs, we want to share our direction, determination, and key ideas that helped shape the game into what it is now.
Furthermore, we will talk about why we chose the Metroidvania genre, what important aspects we considered when designing Kisha as a feline character, as well as his weapons and costumes.
Here is the first part of our journey:

First of all, the Metroidvania genre is inarguably the one we love. All of us have been playing games from this genre regardless of platforms.
We have been discussing each game's strengths and weaknesses, taking those into account in our own development to create a game we can truly enjoy.
While our game may also have key strengths and areas for improvement, we are enjoying every aspect of the game design process—from creating new ideas to making tweaks—committed to deliver a thrilling Metroidvania-style experience for everyone.

In Fatal Claw, a mysterious adventure unfolds as Kisha returns from death and explores the underground world in his own way, all the while fighting off the infected and joining forces with survivors in a search for the solution to reach the surface.
We aim to present this seemingly dark and serious narrative in a way that feels bright, hopeful, and appealing.
Through countless brainstorming sessions, we settled on the concept of a demi-beast world with a feline protagonist.
(Although everyone is a fan of the Metroidvania genre, all of them must be adoring cats themselves... In fact, most of the team are cat owners. 😉)

<Early Ideas>

When we envisioned a cat character, we imagined it should be cute, dignified, nimble, adorable... Virtually every positive trait we could think of.
So instead of getting lost in too many ideas, we adhered to a cat's "default" weapon: claws.

Initially, we came up with clawed gauntlets, but that meant they had to be quite large in order to visually stand out in-game.
This could have made our character look somewhat slow and bulky, unintentionally increasing the character's hitbox size.



<Initial Weapon Concept>

So we focused on the idea of a magic cape with claws attached, which was one of many early sketches.
As a result, we managed to come up with a unique and interesting design. With this, we were able to define Kisha's intended hitbox size, visibly convey the character's speed, and add an ability to express the character's emotions.






<An Item Serving as a Weapon, a Costume, and a Tool for Emotional Expression>

We aimed to make Kisha visibly stand out by setting the overall game background in a darker tone.
We also focused on expressing the character's identity and preventing the character design from hindering gameplay, rather than focusing on cool design alone.
Some keywords are:

good-heart, rightfulness, bravery, nobility

To incorporate this idea, we adopted a white/yellow/blue color scheme, with strong contrast between black and white to make the character stand out against any background.
We used blue and yellow as accent colors.
Honestly, we still believe the black cat's blue pupils are the key visual here.


<Final Design>

While some Costumes are visually stunning as cosmetics, we wanted them to be obtainable items through a Costume system as players follow the game's narrative.
Even if the Costumes are complex and flashy, we believe players will be well-acquainted with the gameplay mechanics by the time they acquire them.


<Diverse Costumes>

When designing Kisha, we made sure to prioritize gameplay functionality, not just his compelling design.

That's all for our first dev notes. We will continue to share more updates on what's in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

Hello again! Today we're patching some game breaking issues and adding some new How-To's:

New Features

• New How-To entries for Sea Goblin, Teleporters and Med Bot

Bug Fixes

• Fix for softlock when pressing specific button combination at the Furnace
  
• Fix for being able to interact with the Seaplane too early
  
• Fixes for visibility of Toxic Barrels

Miscellaneous

• Changed compression for in-game videos. Install size of game reduced by about 100MB

If you find any bugs or have feedback on the game please join the DISCORD and let us know!

The BGM for the fully-automated dungeon RPG Algolemeth will be composed by none other than the legendary Yuzo Koshiro, known for his work on many classic titles!

All tracks in this game are created using Sega Genesis-style FM synthesis.
This hot, retro-inspired sound will energize both your dungeon exploration and strategic battles!

As someone who has admired Koshiro since childhood, I’m overjoyed that he kindly agreed to this dream collaboration.

Despite being an indie developer, he warmly accepted my request, and I am deeply grateful. I also want to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this dream come true.

🎮 You can get an early experience of Koshiro's music at Tokyo Game Dungeon 8 on May 4th!
Please stop by booth 2F-8!

I will continue moving forward, aiming to create a game that not only meets your expectations, but excites me more than anyone.

Thank you so much for your support!

Welcome to Week 177.

We're currently in the middle of a short week with Easter holidays, but we still wanted to keep things moving—so we're happy to bring you a patch this week! While it's a lighter update than usual, it still includes some useful fixes and improvements.

This week, we’re introducing the ‘Culinex backpack' in the workshop. This backpack will help with both the creation and consumption of food on Icarus.

We also provide an update on the Solo Play feature we mentioned last week - it is currently accessible on our experimental branch for anyone who wants a preview.

• Fixed an issue which prevented fish from being killable with projectiles (thrown weapons, arrows, bolts and firearm ammo).
  
• Fixed 'Pain in the Bass' achievement as it wasn't always being granted correctly
  
• Fixing issue where custom crafted food would not scale its stats in their tooltip correctly

---

The Culinex Backpack (or Chef's Backpack) is purchasable from the Workshop and can be equipped for use on the planet. It provides a range of benefits focused on food creation, buff enhancement, and survival efficiency.

While the backpack is worn, any food crafted by the player will have an extended duration and increased effect strength. Any player can consume these improved food items to receive the enhanced benefits.

Additionally, any active food buffs on the wearer are further amplified in both duration and effectiveness. This makes the backpack particularly valuable for extended missions or high-intensity scenarios where sustained buffs are critical.

The backpack also reduces the rate of food and water consumption for the wearer, decreasing the frequency at which sustenance is required. This makes it a strong utility item for long excursions or resource-scarce environments.

---

We're currently trialing an improvement aimed at enhancing the experience for players connecting to dedicated servers or friend-hosted games. This update ensures that creature animations are fully played on clients at all times, regardless of their distance from the host.

After a thorough investigation, we discovered that early optimizations made during Icarus' development led to desynchronization issues on the client side—specifically with NPC animations and hitboxes not always aligning correctly.

To resolve this, we've updated the system so that NPCs now check their distance from any active player, not just the host. This allows them to correctly play their full animation sets and ensures hitboxes are accurately positioned on all clients.

Internal testing and feedback from players on the experimental branch have been extremely positive so far with a noticeable improvement, especially on dedicated servers. A big thank you to our Veterans in Discord for helping us identify and resolve this issue.

This fix is available now on the experimental branch, alongside the other changes listed below.

---

We’ve resolved an issue where deep ore veins were being duplicated each time a prospect was loaded. This could cause veins to appear as if they had changed resources and led to significantly bloated save file sizes.

While earlier fixes made this more stable, we recently discovered a new issue with deep ore veins on the Prometheus map, introduced as part of the Null Sector update. Some objects were incorrectly configured during world generation, leading to duplication.

We’ve now addressed the root cause and added checks to prevent it from happening again. Additionally, any duplicated veins will now be automatically cleaned from player save files on load, with any attached drills preserved.

This fix is also available now on the experimental branch, alongside the other changes listed below.

---

As mentioned in last week’s update, we will be introducing a long-requested feature next week: the ability to pause the game during solo play. This functionality is now available for testing on the Experimental branch.

The pause feature is limited to single-player sessions only and does not function in multiplayer or on dedicated servers. This ensures no disruption to connected players in shared environments.

We encourage players to jump onto Experimental and provide feedback. If you encounter any issues or unexpected behaviour, please let us know.
