Scarred Steel Demo · published

Hey guys,
So, my combat scene looked bad. Like embarrassingly bad. And I had just a few days to turn it around before the demo deadline loomed over me.
This is my first ever game and I’ve decided to build it with AI because I have zero coding experience.
It’s been a mix of fun struggles and endless errors, but also exciting progress along the way.
In this devlog, you’ll see:
How I wrestled with the combat UI and finally found a cleaner, more immersive layout
Why I switched from a Heads Will Roll-style HUD to something closer to Darkest Dungeon
My honest thoughts as I sprint toward submitting the demo before Steam Next Fest kicks off

I’m looking forward to sharing progress with you each week as I work toward the first demo release!
