Why Bullet Hell genre? - Chrono Bullet Devlog


Chrono Bullet is not just a parody of the rather popular survival genre. It is rather a project that says: this is how bullet hell games should be made.

When the idea for this game was being developed, my programmer told me: I want to make a game that I can play with my daughter.

That's what we started from:

  • A game for adults and children. 
  • A multiplayer game. 
  • A game for fun and good spending time.

While our main competitors were making a game for killing your time, we decided to create something that would both help bring generations together and entertain both of these generations. Our main problems were that we had was that we already outgrown such games. And so I had to start from scratch to learn what is currently being played in the bullet hell genre.  OMG... You can't even imagine how many bad games I've played. I won't name them, so that you don't think I'm trying to insult anyone, but I found what I liked. That was only a few of the popular games. We decided to base Chrono Bullet on them as an references.

  • Cult of Lamb - we referenced not only the visual part from this game, but also the city/island construction. Each time you complete a small part of the game, you will discover more and more elixir recipes, construction schemes and simply find new characters.
  • Brotato - I could name many similar games, but I really liked the character leveling system in this game. We have transferred a very similar system to our game. Each time you will build your character from scratch, and what will happen? This will be entirely your run.
  • The Last Spell - is turn-based, so what could we take from it? You'll be surprised, but the music. All the music in our game is industrial, creating an atmosphere of escape. 

Escape is the essence of Chrono Bullet - you need to escape from the location in the allotted time or otherwise you will have to start all over again!



I will write more later, thanks for reading :)
