Behind the scenes with Demonschool. We've got devlogs!

Devlog #1: The battle system

In this video we share our approach to battles without leveling or experience points, and our aim to make them quick to play once you have a handle on the systems.

Devlog #2: world building

In this one we discuss our approach to keeping a lively world while hopefully not overwhelming players. We really thought people would be playing the game more piecemeal over time, so we designed the game around that. It turns out a lot of folks are just playing straight through! Interesting...

Devlog #3: School

Here, we talk about how we didn't aim for a proper school simulator, but instead tried to add small amounts of scholastic structure and feeling throughout the game. People at tradeshows really wanted more school, so we added the quizzes in response to that!

Devlog #4: Music and sound

This video not only covers the soundtrack, expertly crafted by Kurt Feldman, but also how we tried to use music and pacing to support the actions and vibes that were happening on screen, with some light adaptive stuff in battles and conversations.

Devlog #5: Art!

This one discusses in brief how we came upon our art style, how we tried to keep it consistent, and how it fits into the world narratively. If you want to see more about the art, don't forget to check out our art book DLC! The two books show a lot of preproduction work, early art that looks totally different, visual design documents, and a lot more behind the scenes stuff. It's almost a behind the scenes for the whole game, visually. The video here is a much much lighter version of that.
