Druids - The Awakening

Building a big game in one month is hard! ;)

My challenge during the Devtober was to build a fully running Demo and - drums - it didn't work out as planned. I changed the main theme from "soulslike" to RPG after the first week and then changed the complete combat system after the second week which screwed me completely! 

But I continued to work on the project and I've learned a lot while doing so. I had a lot of fun, which was the main point anyways!

You will find the complete process of the development on youtube at:
