Fatal Claw - Dev Interview #2

0:13

Hello, everyone!

Fatal Claw has countless scenes and features, but among them, there are some that our team feels especially attached to.

Today, we’d like to share some of those “favorites” with you and tell you why we love them.

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. 😍

So, let’s dive in together!

🔷 The Most Impressive Exploration Area?

If we had to pick, we’d confidently say the “Giant Guardian chase” near the end of the Upper Elord Castle.

This section demands every skill you’ve learned so far—dash, wall climbing, Silver Claw, and a mix of different abilities.

You can’t let your guard down for even a second.

But escaping by the skin of your teeth brings an overwhelming sense of accomplishment like nothing else.

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?”

It's not just a map; it becomes a piece of worldbuilding that fuels your imagination.

🔷 Most Fun Boss & Memorable Monster

Our favorite boss has to be Irbes, found in the Ashen Valley.

True to his cheetah tribe background, his unpredictable charges and relentless attacks feel impossible to react to at first.

But after several encounters, you start thinking, “What if I dodge this pattern this way?”

You naturally get pulled into that trial-and-error loop, and when your choice works, that thrill is unmatched.

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.

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.

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.

🔷 What Best Defines Kisha as a Character

Kisha has many Mutant Abilities and Engraved Skills,

but our favorites are definitely the Golden Claw and Silver Claw.

As the name Fatal Claw suggests, the claws aren’t just weapons for combat—they’re symbolic elements that permeate the whole game.

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.

The Golden and Silver Claws represent more than power. They open up another journey into Kisha’s inner world.

That’s why they’re still our favorite elements so far.

🔷 The Team’s Proudest Idea

If you’ve played Metroidvania games, you’ve probably experienced this:

“I can’t get here now, but with a new ability later, I should be able to.”

But then you forget about it, and when you finally return, sometimes it’s just a dead end.

We always found that frustrating—so we created the Drone System.

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.

This way, you can see whether you’re ready to explore now, or if it’s still too early.

Our goal was to reduce the tedious backtracking, while keeping the joy of discovery intact.

We hope this system helps players find convenience and new layers of fun all at once.

🔷 The Most Striking NPC

One NPC that instantly grabs attention is the antique dealer Ainjaff.

He appears fairly early in the game in a village shop, yet his presence is unforgettable.

Covered in scars, with one eye hidden—whether by injury or by choice—he instantly sparks endless questions.

And then there are the rumors… whispers of a powerful army made up of wolves and cheetahs. Could Ainjaff have ties to them?

That’s our little tour of the dev team’s favorites.

We hope you felt the love and attention poured into even the smallest details.

When you begin your own adventure, we look forward to you discovering those unforgettable moments that become your personal favorites.

We’ll continue working hard to deliver fun and thrills in every part of Fatal Claw.

Until the next interview, where we’ll bring more behind-the-scenes stories!

And don’t forget—our Kickstarter campaign is just around the corner, where your feedback can directly shape the game. You can also join our official Discord channel to chat with the dev team and get the latest updates first.

Fatal Claw 개발일지 #05

21 aug

Hello, everyone!

In our last developer interview, we mentioned that we added distinct landmarks so that players can easily remember them.

For today’s Dev Notes, we’d like to introduce some of those hidden landmarks scattered across the world of Fatal Claw.

Each landmark was created with its own story, so that when you stumble across one in-game, you’ll instinctively think, "Ah, I’m in that area now!"

\[Stories Within the Landmarks]

The underground world of Fatal Claw isn’t just a backdrop.

Every region carries the weight of time and story in the form of landmarks.

These places, where you may stop to gaze, whisper ancient breaths and lingering mysteries.

We’ve compiled records of some key landmarks you’ll discover. Let’s explore them together!

#Kannir Drilling Site

Origin Screen

Scattered across the underworld, these giant screens exist to broadcast something.

You’ll often see flickering ads or broken messages, but age has reduced them to fractured signals.

On the other hand, their very incompleteness sparks more imagination and stories.

Automata Workshop

From afar, you can spot automata tirelessly working to extract Kannir.

Nearby, cylinders filled with Kannir fluid are stacked high, leaving no doubt: this is a true extraction site in full operation.

#Ashen Valley

Nagaraja’s Corpse

The colossal skull of a mythical beast lies here, enduring centuries of erosion.

Those who approach the entrance are struck by an uneasy fear, unable to take a step forward.

Yet this fear is precisely what provokes a burning urge to challenge it, serving as the intersection of dread and curiosity.

The Well

Chains hang at its mouth, and strange fluid has seeped deep into its stones, radiating an ominous aura.

Though small and unassuming, the moment you face it, you can’t help but pause and think: “Ah… right, there was a well here.”

A minor landmark, but one that fixes itself as a waypoint of memory along the path.

#Strigine Quarry

Hydrangea Field

At the edge of a wind-lashed cliff lies a blooming field of hydrangeas.

A flower field in the desolate underground world feels out of place, a strange beauty that doesn’t belong.

And at its center, crouched low, lurks a bug-like silhouette... but what could it be?

#Elord Castle

Arcadia

Deep inside the castle stands a mysterious high-tech device.

Its mechanical structure and refined engineering prove that this world is far from ordinary.

Nearby, remains of Owls suggest this device was never just ornamental—it had purpose.

A Statue

Ensnared by infected plants, this statue looks like a forgotten memory left to decay.

Step closer, and a strangely familiar face emerges, leaving behind an uncanny sense of déjà vu.

Who does this statue resemble? And what hidden story does it hold?

#Higasha Tundra

Shrine Entrance

Beyond the bamboo groves, on a snow-covered land, stands a silent shrine.

Its entrance is carved with strange patterns, but it's unclear which deity it honors.

But that very mystery ignites the imagination, stirring anticipation of the new adventures waiting ahead.

Bamboo Grove

Once you start seeing bamboo stalks appear, you know you’ve reached the grove.

While bamboo may not seem like a grand landmark, here it becomes a natural guidepost.

Spot the grove nearby? Follow its flow, and you won’t lose your way.

💠Wrapping Up

The landmarks we introduced today serve as witnesses of this world’s past.

They act as memorable signposts for players, as well as stages for the unfolding narrative.

To bring you those moments of discovery, we continue to design, refine, and build with great care.

When you finally encounter them during your own journey, we hope you’ll feel that instant moment of recognition.

Look forward to seeing them in action during your adventures. 🙂

Thank you for reading!

We’ll be back again soon with more development stories. 🙏

Fatal Claw - Dev Sketch #2

14 aug

Hello everyone! 🙂

Today, we’re bringing you a special Dev Sketch featuring one of the NPCs from Fatal Claw.

In the world of Fatal Claw, you’ll encounter many "Beastkin" NPCs—each with their own backstory.

And today, we’re introducing one of the dev team’s personal favorites: Nia.

Curious to see how she started, what concepts inspired her, and how she evolved into the Nia you’ll meet in-game? Let’s dive in!

🎨 Sketches of the Day

In Fatal Claw, it’s not just the protagonist, Kisha, who has a story—every NPC holds a little piece of the world’s lore.

Even if we can’t show you every detail in-game, our goal is to make each NPC feel alive and memorable, so that you can grow attached to them.

And among them, Nia has a special place in our hearts. Today, we’ll share how she came to life.

💬 Dev’s Comment

Nia’s concept began with four simple keywords: #small, #cute, #lively, #cheerful.

Among countless energetic animals, we explored goats, squirrels, and even dogs—finally settling on the energetic personality of a border collie as our starting point for her design.

Our first draft hit the keywords… but small details didn’t quite match the backstory we had in mind. So we refined the concept with these specifics:

* Small and cute, yet protective

* Cheerful, yet fragile

* Lively (O), but not rowdy (X)

With these in mind, the squirrel became the perfect inspiration for Nia.

From there, we polished her design until she emerged as the bright, cheerful 8-year-old girl you’ll meet in Fatal Claw.

Nia may be fragile, but her lively nature often leads her to sneak around the village, exploring hidden nooks and crannies.

One day, when her beloved older brother fails to return home, she sets out alone to find him…

What happens next? You’ll have to experience it in the playable version!

That’s a quick look at Nia’s design journey.

Knowing how each NPC came to life might just make your adventure through Fatal Claw a little more immersive, don’t you think?

When the time comes, we’d love to share the creation process of other NPCs you’ll meet in the game as well.

If you enjoyed this Dev Sketch, feel free to leave a like or share your thoughts in the comments below. 😊

We’ll be back next time with more behind-the-scenes stories from the world of Fatal Claw.

And one more thing—our official Fatal Claw Discord channel is now open!

"Brutal claw" Discord scam!

No idea how else to contact you, but be aware, there's a scam going around about 'Brutal claw', a fake game using your game's footage to steal discord accounts. https://brutalclaw.com I am not sure what can be done against this, but i figured you'd ought to know....
