Breadman

Creative Lead

Breadman began Demon Deals' development as a solo developer and, during this early period, developed the story, characters, themes, and style of the project. As the original creator, Bread handles story direction and writes extensively for the game, directing, writing, and editing any story content before it appears in the game.

Lead Artist

Responsible for the visual aspect of storytelling and asset development. All scene art, animation, and unique pixel sprites are digitally hand-crafted by Breadman.

Winning a close match requires vulnerability. You risk losing. Your heart rate spikes. There is a dialogue between you and your opponent—a dance of reads and baits.

Am I trying to win? Or am I trying to silence the other player?

The Stunlocker rejects this dialogue. They prefer a monologue.

From a design perspective, stuns exist to punish mistakes. A whiffed attack should leave you vulnerable. However, the Stunlocker weaponizes this philosophy. They are not punishing a mistake; they are engineering a situation where any action you take is the wrong one. Why would someone choose this path? Conventional wisdom says winning is fun. But the Stunlocker reveals a more complex truth: Dominance is more addictive than victory.

Future credits

This is where you'll find credits to people who have helped make the game through stuff like commissions—once that is a possibility for the project.

For example, a music artist might be credited here in the future!
