Man, this is just unbelievably good. As someone who has been chipping away at a game for probably about a year now, and who has made about 1/10 the progress you have, your game is incredibly inspiring. I love hearing anything you have to say about game dev, programming tips, inspirations, your techniques and things you've learned along the way, etc. Great job, man. Seriously impressive.
That really makes me happy to hear! I see my own growth more clearly now and I'm proud of where I am. I really hope you're having fun on your game, no matter how fast you make progress! :)
Appreciate it a lot friend, I've felt a few times that I'm happy with the point I've reached but this time I feel like I've reached a point where I can really release a 3D game.
Just a small note for the animated text plugin you're using: I would suggest lowering the size of the pop in on the typewriter. Reading the text is very distracting, especially if all the text in the game appears in that way. But great job! 2 years of work and it looks great!
Really, you only took 2 years while working full time job to create this beautiful game? Amazing. Huge props. Not gonna lie, if I was a kid, I would play this game instantly. It reminds me of old platforming classics such as Croc, Gex, Kao, Crash or Rayman but much more cozy and less wacky.
Fook yeah!! Awesome progress man 💪 I hope you tweak the lighting or post processing a bit to amp up the colors. Dunno if it's the black AO or so but there's this black/grey dull vibe on top of your colorful fun theme that makes it look a bit dirty. Best of luck! EDIT: I think you improved it in the last minute of the video? Spoke too soon 😆 Still I think the playful colors could pop some more somehow
that's really impressive the game is shaping up to be a great experience the game vibes definitely remind me of little big planet so nostalgic, keep up the good work
I'm so impressed by your progress and creativity. Very inspiring for someone who is still in the early stages of development. It's cool that the game is in a fully playable state now, even if some of it is gray box. It must feel good to be at that point in development. I can't wait to play it!
@@WhyKev alright i hope you are able to sort it out and i hope you are good the reason i know is on vimlarks stream you sent him a well known scam message in a wierd way
Really inspiring, loved your game and your tips. I also understand now that I won't make my dream game in a few months, considering that I just started making baby steps testing different game engines! 😂
I like that the graphics in later levels and further in development have much more color and vibrancy! It makes it feel like a hand crafted paper world!
Man time really flies, 2 years of progress is already here! Loved seeing it all come together tho. And I gotta say that gravity update feels SO much nicer. Makes me want to play as paper klay even more now
I love the art style and concept👀 I can't wait to play it when it's out! And will be keeping up with any updates of from the channel! Keep up the phenomenal work!!!
I might get this game just because of how much games like lbp ruled my childhood, and this gives me that same childlike friendly style that I just love.
Fantastic video! Cant believe its been 2 years, look how far you and the game has come, you should be proud! Would love to try the game again at some point, to compare it to the demo i played 👀 Also Kellen Goff has been in My Hero, Fire Force and Black Clover! Wow!! You've got an insane talent!
I played the demo and loved it! I'm just hoping you don't get carried away and add more complexity to the game which is what happens to a lot of games. I value simplicity. I also really hate minigames like in Spyro 2 & 3 and Banjo Kazooie. Just give me a checklist of collectibles and let me explore till I find them all! I played Cavern of Dreams recently but when it got to Prismic Palace the icy level, it got too difficult for me. Also the Nightmare level was too hard for me. A game stops being relaxing and fun when the difficulty ramps up. Also keeping it simple opens the game up to kids who may struggle with harder games. And many adults just want a simple easy fun game to escape the real world once in a while. Anyway, looking forward to the next demo!
Here is a previous video where I talk more about it, hope you find something useful :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZyblJsNdSdM.html
I'm not sure how fun it'll be, but it looks really good. It feels like it will be a real, full game. I love all the ideas you have for different areas, and the voice acting seems great. I do want to say, based just on the looks in the video, the book area is nice. But feels a bit too flat. Like they all look and feel like the same book, just with different color covers. And the book towers feel a bit too neat. Little Nightmares does something similar, and you can certainly see where it repeats here and there. But it also feels more varied. If you weren't slowly analyzing it, you might not notice the repeating books in it. It also might be neat to have a couple more sets of googly eyes as well. Or at least some happy/excited eyes. Just to give them a little personality.
I really appreciate this comment! Sure I hope the game will be fun! :) Currently I'm focusing on getting everything playable and then go over the levels and iterate on level design and details once it's more finalized :) So I hope to make the book forest more interesting since it will be one of the earlier favorite levels of mine in the game :)
I have a suggestion about Blinky's talking animation, I think you should make him talk more crazily like how a child would make a puppet flap its mouth randomly but overall this game looks amazing
Your game looks amazing! Imagine if the characters' animations matched their voice lines. Like, if they sound sad, the character looks sad, and vice versa for happy moments. I get it might take some effort, but it could make the game even cooler when you're fine-tuning things. Just a thought! 😊
Don't let this slow you down if it's impractical, but I really think it would be cool of the sock puppet character is always visible, but he's just a crumpled-up sock when you're far away, and it looks like someone puts their hand into it from below when you get close.
I would 100% do that if the sockpuppet was more in the game! But since it's only one level it's too much work. We'll see if I make a full game with only the sockpuppet :D A whole world of sockpuppets!
Hi, I really enjoy your video’s and do want to play the game when it’s finished. The book forest look very cool and spooky. Maybe it would be cool if some of the stacks move and after a while you figure out it is a book snake. With a book as a mouth. Keep up the good work!!
