7 Days of INDIE GAME DEV - Walk In My Shoes 

I hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks to all those who took time to drop a like/comment, I appreciate you

This is almost identical to my dev week. Only difference is all the working out bits are just in my imagination and replaced with eating far too much junk food.

"Unity, you know I love you" This aged like fine milk in 2 months time edit: bro, this video was amazing. Love the mood and atmosphere that you created with angles, shots, music. It was also informative, I like to watch the work being done also. +1 from me

"Will it ever be finished? Nobody knows." Right in the feels. Truer words were never spoken. PS: love the blur effect of the leaves in the front. It gives it SO MUCH more depth.

Your graphics and animations look outstanding. Every attack/kill feels satisfying just from watching.

Love this realistic look into a week of your life. It's clear you work hard but also have balance. Can't wait to play Blood And Mead when it's done!

I loved how you shined light on all the physical activities and breaks throughout the week. I've found running and rock climbing to be ESSENTIAL in keeping my mood and body feeling right during the workweek. Super important when doing something as potentially isolating and sedentary as working on solo indie projects! Thanks for the video!

Ah yes, the Succulent Chinese Meal at 3:57 , how great was that. The game dev talk flowed as much as the beer, but you're right the hangovers are brutal as we get older. Still, let's tee up another one! Great video my friend, one of the greatest you've done so far. - Oli

It's really amazing to see your overall skill sets for game developing. I merely program, but I can see your passion, and commitment to your game, definitely inspiring! Thank You.

Man, you killed it with this video. Very entertaining and I love that you showed some of the development dilemmas that go along with the daily grind (because it gives comedic relief to my own development issues)

You are a true inspiration mate. I'm now into gamedev for over 2 years and you have always been a true inspiration. Much love to you and your great family. Hope you guys all have fun together^^

Holy cow! The editing of this video is superb! Can definitely tell you put a lot of work into it. I really love these style of videos every once in a while since it gives us a peek at the person behind the game. And on the game dev side, Blood and Mead is really coming together! I'll be honest, when I first came across you, I watched the videos largely because I liked the grounded nature you presented game dev and the advice given. Blood and Mead was something I thought sounded neat but wasn't that interested in, but now it's really looking great! Cannot wait to try it out when it comes out, man!

I really needed this. Thank you. I've been having a hard time lately finding a balance in my life. I feel like my project is going on forever (6 month concept demo has turned into a 2 year vertical slice) and I'm not hitting milestones as often anymore. I feel like I need a routine to make my life feel more fulfilling. Seeing your routine is inspirational and perhaps I can try to do more to feel better in my mind and body.

This was so much fun to watch and wonderfully edited! Great video

man, you have motivated me so much through your videos that I am making my own Open World game now.! I love your eye for detail, I just loved your skills as an artist/animator/developer. I'd be the luckiest if I have half the skills that you possess. PLEASE Never stop making these devlogs.

I REALLY enjoyed this style of devloggig. It’s really immersive and personal. Please do more!

Good healthy lifestyle...with some gamedev for balance! Killing it mate. Games looking good. EDIT: Love the gore additions!!

This is good for both a Game Dev Teacher (High School) and students to see. Thank you! It's the start of summer break and I was considering starting a project, but there's so much work to do preparing a 2 year program, and decompression time is important...sigh... (and that's where I appreciate the song)

Very nice to see! I'm impressed with how you manage to perform so many completely different skills on a pretty high level all by yourself. Like animation, programming AND even sound...

Dude, I’m brand new to your channel. I’m so grateful the Unity drama brought your video to me. I’ve wish listed Blood and Mead now. I hope others find you as well and I hope you find amazing success with your projects. The game looks so fun!

Amazing video, it was funny, well-edited, and entertaining/educational throughout! One of the many reasons your channel is one of all-time favorites! Side note, I really love the look of the UI right now as well as the look of the new enemies you added, cant wait to see the final version!

Coolest devlog I've seen in a while XD Keep up!

Thanks for sharing man, for some reason I find such content very inspiring, keep sharing, I have worked in IT for years now mostly networking, but currently transitioning into Dev work and I absolutely love it. Keep the videos coming man.

This is probably one the best in depth day in a "..." video I have seen. I appreciate the fact that you put some solid coding in and progression while also showing the day to day of being a father! Great stuff man keep working hard and I can't wait to try out the video game!

First video ive watched from you, but enjoerd the story of this. Keep up the content. Enjoying it a lot!!

Instant subscribe. I can tell you put a lot of effort into the video. It was so well made, relatable and the game looks great!

It's way better than watching a day in the life of a web developer.

I have some thoughts on the main character's hair that I'd like to share. Currently, the hairstyle seems to cause the character to fail the silhouette test, as it rounds out the entire body, leading to a less distinct shape. This effect detracts from the character's uniqueness and could impact the player's connection to the character. Additionally, with the hair covering one eye, it obscures some essential facial features. As humans, we often seek to see people's faces to connect with them, and this connection can be vital in a gaming context. It's a subtle point, but it can make a big difference in how players perceive and relate to the character. My suggestion would be to consider adjusting the hairstyle to enhance the character's appearance. Options could include pushing the hair behind the ears, putting it in a braid, or even opting for a completely bald look. I believe that allowing players to see the main character's full face would strengthen their engagement with the game and its story. Your efforts in developing this game are genuinely appreciated, and I hope my feedback is helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing how the character evolves!

I love how you improved a lot editing skill, storytelling and quality of videos . Great Job! (MK Voice)😀

I started following your journey from the beginning of the channel (I think 2020) and it is nice to see you are making good progress in your game. Kudos to you because despite you have a family you manage to set some time to keep working on your project. I only live with my gf and I struggle a lot to keep practicing gamedev lol. The new character design is awesome, it stands out comparing the classic-standard viking character that we all know. Respect!

I really enjoyed watching bro. Great job!

Really really enjoyed this format. Always love your videos

Very interesting to see your workflow!

This was a lot of fun to watch, thank you for sharing and putting this together. We got a glimpse of your day to day.

Keep these coming! Great stuff

This is superb!! Just found your channel and liked, commented and subscribed. Can't wait to check out the game!

This is a fantastic montage. I particularly like the glasses-pop-up-you when going through your JSON file.

Thank you for this awesome, entertaining look into your game dev life! ❤

I don't know if you have a lot of videos in this style but I haven't come across them. I really enjoy it! I legit lol'd a few times and that is tough to come by in game dev videos!

The amount of time you put into this video really shows and I appreciate it. You've managed to make me smile multiple times throughout and I look forward to more video like these. Those Diablo reactions had me ROFL'ing. Thank you for making my day that much better.

Great video! I love to see that I'm not the only one who needs multiple breaks a day to do something physical out in the sun while doing creative work!

I love what you've been doing with your game! It's awesome :)

This is amazing, bro! Solo game devs always do amazing work.

This was such cool insight! I’m starting my first game so I am def gonna follow you along.

Awesome video dude :D It's great to see Dev's at peak fitness too. This is the first video of yours I've watched and am loving your project. I'm always looking for inspiration and you've inspired me :D Great work bro! I'll probly watch your whole series at some point! Kudos

I love the new character, mostly his idle animation change. wow man, that run does look awesome too!

Added to my wishlist ♥♥ great job 👍👍

"Daddy is making a game" should be the next huge song on the internet. :) More seriously, very cool dev/life balance. Awesome work on the game. 😉 Don't play too much D4.

Great content I hope your game is big success as it looks it will be!

How did I miss this amazing video?!?! Hilarious editing! Thank you for the laughs and inspiration! 💖💖 (trust that I know and appreciate how much time and effort you put into it).

Thanks for a peek into daily life of a dev. It's something most of an audience can't appreciate, because it won't ordinarily cross their minds. I like how your incorporate physical activity into your routine, it's really important and many devs don't even do it. It keeps your brain functioning properly and it is something all devers should be cognizant of. And you don't even need to do that much of it to derive a lot of benefit.

Love it, thank you for sharing!

Love the new Diablo-inspired enemies. That sorcerer looks badass.

Loved the video, thanks for sharing. Great tornado kick btw! ;-)

This video was really amazing! Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.

Loved this kind of videos. Kp it up mate. Way to inspire 💪

Really loved this insight into your life, thank you for sharing this with us !

inspiring work and lifestyle you got there mate... good luck on your career!

Awesome format and timescale with fun and value points for understanding dev problems!

There are the videos that'll blow up your channel, dude! Loved it!

Your hard work and dedication is inspirational, thanks for the vid!

Loved the charles dozsa reference ahha. Amazing video mate

I loved this video! Perfect balance of life/dev/jokes. I could watch 100 of these in a row

Hope you finish your game soon, loved your video, thanks for sharing, it motivates me to continue working.

I love this.. you're so good at making this very entertaining!

Masterpiece video! you have so much strength and energy, unbelievable!😄

this video was way more hilarious than I anticipated, you've gained a new fan!😂

Awesome channel! Always wanted to be a game dev myself, maybe one time ... Love your game's look and feel! Can't wait for more!

Awsome to see another update! Enjoyed seeing these over on twitter too and it all now being put together.

i loved this video man, just started getting into unity, hopfully i can get like u one day

This was so satisfying to follow along. Well done mate. Can't wait to pick the game up when you finaly get to ship it. ;]

You've already gained a fan from Brazil, your videos are very funny. I'm working on creating a game related to the Amazon rainforest and it's being very challenging

I love these day in the life videos. Thank you so much!!

This was surprisingly entertaining! Nice job! 👍

Looks like things are really coming together! Well done!

No...body... knowssssss. You really need some solid bass at the end there that falls off as it goes down the scale. Great video man. I forgot about your game and I need to make sure I wishlist it! It's looking great!

Always a treat to watch, keep up the awesome stuff!

Awesome! Hilarious, wholesome and inspiring. Beautiful work/life balance. Keep on dev’ing!!

The game is turning great!!! Also this video was cool. Congrats, keep doing this!

I've been watching a ton of these videos to take into consideration regarding my own reviews. Going to have my staff do the same for theirs. Understanding the people, the human element, shouldn't be lost when reviewing the content they made. Thank you for posting this insightful and inspiring video. I'll keep my eye on Blood and Mead :)

What a lovely video. You kept me hooked:)

Inspirational your process, thks for sharing!

Cool devlog and good progress! I like the new player abilities, effects, interaction!

I'm in college right now and every dev day is just like yours bro. I look forward to playing thus game!

I'm always shocked at how fluent and polished your animations and effects come out. Amazing work! (btw , from a game design point of view , you could make it so that you can collect an upgrade chest once enemies are not around. this way you could collect them without being attacked , and you wouldn't need this some-freeze-some-not mechanic) *alternatively , offer them in safe locations only*

Looks fantastic. Good luck on your dev adventure my man

not only are you great at making video games... you are amazing at making videos aswell! well done! inspirational! :)

Excellent video and a great looking game. Keep up the good work and I wish you much, continuing success with your game.

Fun video and inspiring one. It's interesting to see the daily routine of a game dev and bonus we get to see some progress on the game can't wait for it to come out :)

I really liked watching this. Thank you 😊

Congrats on all of this progress and success. Looks good.

Your creativity and inspiration reflects in this video. Hope you the best of the succeses.

"coins attacking the play, thats a hell of a bug!" had me rolling😂😂😂😂

Love this man!! Hope you make millions on this game!

You can really tell that there was a lot of effort put into this video. Great job!
