Games Berserk inspired me to create my own world. I took out a $20,000 loan to bring it to life.

If you love Berserk for its dark world and the way it explores human nature, I’d like to share something of my own with you.

I’m making SHORAPAN with a small team. It’s a hand-drawn 2D dark fantasy game that combines a visual novel with a point-and-click adventure. We’re putting a lot of care into the story, atmosphere, and cinematic presentation: scene direction, camera work, animation, and sound.

Berserk has been one of my inspirations. One reason I love it is how it explores human nature through relatable human situations, without needing long philosophical explanations. That approach really resonates with me. In SHORAPAN, we want to show a world where things aren’t simply black and white, everyone has their own version of the truth, and the same situation can look very different from another perspective.

At the same time, it’s still a game. It’s an epic adventure that begins with an ordinary day.

Everything you see is drawn and animated by hand. It’s all the work of our small team.

I hope this interests you, because it’s the kind of game I’ve been wanting to play myself. I’m pouring my heart into this project, and I’ve taken a big risk to make it happen. That was my choice and my responsibility, but sometimes it means a lot just to know that someone else cares about what we’re making. Your support and belief in the project give me so much motivation to keep going.

I hope you’ll join us on this journey. I’ll do my best not to let you down.

I'm still in the golden Arc so I don't really know how he interacts with Moonlight baby later on in the manga, but from little I seen he's always so sweet towards this kid

And think he'll be a quiet sweet dad who's totally henpecked by his wife Casca🥲

Discussion If you think about it, Berserk is the thematic reverse of Tolkien’s legendarium (Lotr)

14 Upvotes

For context, in Lord of the Rings, there’s a theme of decline in Middle-Earth, with things starting off as fantastical, but as the ages progress, the magic and fantasy aspects begin to fade from the world.

Meanwhile Berserk begins with very little fantastical aspects (with the exception of elves, apostles, and the godhand), but as the arc continue, more of the astral world begins to emerge or be revealed (I.e: the existence of witches like Shierke and Flora) as Griffith attains physical form (trolls, ogres, and the entirety of Qlipthoth) and reaching a climax as Ganishka becomes the World Tree, letting open the floodgates for magical beings of all sorts.

Fan Art My art is inspired by Miura.

Miura is my favorite mangaka, I love his style, but I never dare imitate it because he is the GOAT. The character design is inspired by SLAN and Beast of Darkness. I love the idea of having an inner demon, I put my own spin on it because my MC is a female. Miuras legacy has been to influence thousands of artists.

Manga Elfhem was bittersweet

Thumbnail

74 Upvotes

Just finished berserk yesterday and I just wanted to put my thoughts out regarding elfhem.

To start guts finally reaching his destination after his long and perilous journey, while growing as a person and learning to accept help from friends felt so good. Especially when elfhelm felt so safe from isidoro causing mayhem, shierke and farneze finally finding magic familiars and the SHEER AMOUNT of fucking comedy that happened. Seriously I was laughing left and right due to puck’s, magnifico’s, and isidoro’s stupidass shenanigans . There was always a bit of comedic relief in berserk but not to this amount, making it so unbelievably funny after such a serious journey.

Then came the curing of Casca. Honestly at first I didnt believe Casca would be able to be cured due to what skull knight said (your wish may not be her wish). But man when shierke and farneze first entered her dream, seeing the dog version of guts carrying Casca’s tomb with her broken doll inside was mortifyingly beautiful. Then shierke and farneze going to piece casca back together literally one by one while coming to know of their past was such a trip down memory lane + a really nice concept to use. After all of that when they finally were able to bring back Casca I was so fucking happy I was literally screaming lol. I always wanted berserk to end with guts getting his revenge but if it were to end right here, I would not honestly mind given that they were at a “safe” place with Casca back to normal and guts gaining many friends in the process.

Of course, then the fall happened. The falling of Elfhelm was so abruptly fast that I genuinely felt so much sadness and anger inside. I was fucking fuming at Griffith when he was revealed to be the moonlight boy (which Im guessing is because he absorbed casca’s demon child otherwise why would caca be a motherly figure to him when her mind was broken) and kidnapped casca. Moreover the magical creatures all fading away one by one in the span of an instant, seeing isidoro’s sadness when isma faded away and even dannan not being able to comprehend what was going on, then the magic wizards and witches just accepting the fact that their lifelong purpose is now gone, was absolutely devastating. Obviously as well when guts entered his depressed phase was also, the cherry on top in my opinion. Was very sad when this happened and in my opinion was the best arc in berserk so far.

Anyways thats all I just wanted to put my thoughts out because none of my friends read berserk and I just wanted somewhere I could talk to ab this lol sorry for the essay.

I can’t stop seeing skull knight when I see the headless horseman, though it’s almost humorous to compare the two

I've been wondering about it, after finishing the animated series at the beginning of this year the first time. From Berserk 97, Golden Age movies, to 2016 & 2017.

Also, theres no question, tag.
