Fatal Claw - Dev Interview #2

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello, everyone![/p][p][/p][p]Fatal Claw has countless scenes and features, but among them, there are some that our team feels especially attached to.[/p][p]Today, we’d like to share some of those “favorites” with you and tell you why we love them.[/p][p][/p][p]Who knows? The part that makes you think, “Huh, I can’t explain it, but I like this” when you play, might just be somebody’s favorite. 😍[/p][p][/p][p]So, let’s dive in together![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]🔷 The Most Impressive Exploration Area?[/h3][p][/p][p]If we had to pick, we’d confidently say the “Giant Guardian chase” near the end of the Upper Elord Castle.[/p][p][/p][p]This section demands every skill you’ve learned so far—dash, wall climbing, Silver Claw, and a mix of different abilities.[/p][p]You can’t let your guard down for even a second.[/p][p][/p][p]But escaping by the skin of your teeth brings an overwhelming sense of accomplishment like nothing else. [/p][p]Discovering such a secret place deep inside the castle also sparks wonder, and even makes you think: “Were the beings guarding the castle actually created here?” [/p][p]It's not just a map; it becomes a piece of worldbuilding that fuels your imagination. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🔷 Most Fun Boss & Memorable Monster[/h3][p][/p][p]Our favorite boss has to be Irbes, found in the Ashen Valley.[/p][p][/p][p]True to his cheetah tribe background, his unpredictable charges and relentless attacks feel impossible to react to at first.[/p][p][/p][p]But after several encounters, you start thinking, “What if I dodge this pattern this way?” [/p][p]You naturally get pulled into that trial-and-error loop, and when your choice works, that thrill is unmatched.[/p][p][/p][p]The best part is how clearly you feel your control skills improving, and the patterns unraveling one by one. That’s why we still believe Irbes is a fun boss to fight even when you come back later.[/p][p][/p][p]As for monsters, the Metal Frog in the Higasha Tundra stands out the most. At first, it seems harmless, but combined with slippery terrain, it becomes a real nuisance.[/p][p][/p][p]Over time, though, you get used to its leaping pattern and the rhythm of the sliding ground. When you finally beat it without taking a hit, it feels amazing. That’s why, even as a basic monster, the Metal Frog leaves such a strong impression.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🔷 What Best Defines Kisha as a Character[/h3][p][/p][p]Kisha has many Mutant Abilities and Engraved Skills, [/p][p]but our favorites are definitely the Golden Claw and Silver Claw.[/p][p][/p][p]As the name Fatal Claw suggests, the claws aren’t just weapons for combat—they’re symbolic elements that permeate the whole game.[/p][p]At first, you might just think, “Oh, these are weapons.” But as the journey goes on, the claws become keys to advancing the story, devices that reveal Kisha’s hidden secrets through interactions with characters and objects.[/p][p][/p][p]The Golden and Silver Claws represent more than power. They open up another journey into Kisha’s inner world.[/p][p]That’s why they’re still our favorite elements so far.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🔷 The Team’s Proudest Idea[/h3][p][/p][p]If you’ve played Metroidvania games, you’ve probably experienced this:[/p][p]“I can’t get here now, but with a new ability later, I should be able to.”[/p][p]But then you forget about it, and when you finally return, sometimes it’s just a dead end.[/p][p][/p][p]We always found that frustrating—so we created the Drone System.[/p][p]Instead of just marking a map, you can leave behind a drone that acts like a surveillance camera, letting you check that location in real time.[/p][p][/p][p]This way, you can see whether you’re ready to explore now, or if it’s still too early.[/p][p]Our goal was to reduce the tedious backtracking, while keeping the joy of discovery intact.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope this system helps players find convenience and new layers of fun all at once.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🔷 The Most Striking NPC[/h3][p][/p][p]One NPC that instantly grabs attention is the antique dealer Ainjaff.[/p][p][/p][p]He appears fairly early in the game in a village shop, yet his presence is unforgettable.[/p][p]Covered in scars, with one eye hidden—whether by injury or by choice—he instantly sparks endless questions.[/p][p]And then there are the rumors… whispers of a powerful army made up of wolves and cheetahs. Could Ainjaff have ties to them?[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]That’s our little tour of the dev team’s favorites.[/p][p]We hope you felt the love and attention poured into even the smallest details.[/p][p]When you begin your own adventure, we look forward to you discovering those unforgettable moments that become your personal favorites.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll continue working hard to deliver fun and thrills in every part of Fatal Claw.[/p][p]Until the next interview, where we’ll bring more behind-the-scenes stories![/p][p][/p][p]And don’t forget—our Kickstarter campaign is just around the corner, where your feedback can directly shape the game.
