Dance of Demons: Prelude

Developed by Nicodemus

Published by Nicodemus

"Dance of Demons combines top-down action gameplay reminiscent of games such as Hades and Diablo with rhythm gameplay reminiscent of games such as Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Doctor. You're tasked with dodging attacks in a deadly choreography, where each enemy type uses a different rhythm pattern to cue their attacks. And your attacks, in turn, are also empowered by adherence to the rhythm.

I'd love to hear your input! This is my first game, and I'm hoping to turn it into a commercial release down the line."

With INDIE INTERVIEWS, I talk to the game developers hanging here on Cohost to learn more about new games you might love.

Sometimes, indie games are created by one or two developers, seamlessly delivering their vision through a small-scope project. Other times, they require communication and collaboration in small teams. The great thing about getting into indie dev is that you can do both! Recently I had a chat with BáiYù from @tofurocks, and I think it's a really informative one. We cover BáiYù's personal life and journey into development, as well as tips regarding using Ren'Py and being the "general odd jobs guy" on small teams. Take a look!

Introduce yourself for everyone here on Cohost! Who are you?
Hi! I'm BáiYù (he/they) and I'm the Lead Developer at @tofurocks and its publishing branch @ProjectEnso, as well as a freelancer with other teams such as VisuStella (social media manager), Fiendish Fiction (social media manager, general odd jobs guy), and the NSFW @SnaccPop Studios (Producer & Publisher). When I'm not listing off all my job roles, I'm just a dude with a cat named Mark Caitlyn.

Are there any projects you're currently working on? Tell us about them!
Hahaha ahhh, current projects... the list really does not end when you have your fingers in so many pies like I do LOL

Here's some of the more prominent ones:

• (R-18) The Groom of Gallagher Mansion, a spooky romcom VN about tricking a ghost into wanting to marry you and investigating the death of both his family and the dead man himself. Developed with SnaccPop Studios.
• (R-18) Lust Bounty, a lighthearted and extremely queer T4T VN about an omnibus/sex demon exorcising a monster inside a human by doing the nasty. Currently being rebooted, developed inside tofurocks.
• The Steam updates for (age restricted for heavy mental health themes) Talk To Me and Lotus: The Self-Made Witch, which I swear are coming soon:tm:

I promise you I don't really consider myself an erotic games developer 😭

Hello cohosters! Hope you're all doing well.

A whole lot of indie games came out in May, huh? I feel like I only barely scratched the surface.

Without further ado, here's your Indie Game Recap of all of the Cohoster interviews I did and new games I found in May...
