Developer of Void Sols here. Just wanted to say you made this dev's dream come true. Thank you so much for checking out our small experiment. It is genuinely so cool that you enjoyed it, and we hope everyone who checks it out after watching this enjoy it too. We're a small team of 3, so we're eager to hear what folks think so we can make it even better!

Hey, QA helping development for New Eden here. This video is incredibly appreciated and is very well made to show New Eden in a favorable light. I hope you had fun playing and hope you take a look later in the game’s life span to see the impact you have made on this game’s player base. Another reason to take another look is the fact that you missed the most important boss that takes slight inspiration from Elden Ring 👀 Btw sorry you had to run into the resident PvP god Rustery, but if anyone gets on at a moments notice during the game’s downtime, it’s him :) Hope you had as much fun as I do while playing NE and I highly recommend playing again when there is more than 2 people online.

the thing about new eden: they seem to just not aim for the stars but build the rocket first. sure, they have a lot of things in mind for their game (as visible in the roadmap), but they just start at the beginning, have a pretty solid foundation, and most importantly chose something accomplishable from the start. A top down 2D or 2.5D game with pixel graphics is just so much more managable than high end 3D physics systems and graphics if you don't just put an asset-sandbox together. i actually have decent hopes for that one.

@GwyndolinOwO Год назад

for sure! the game stays pretty "boring" for a while but its a good way to develop a game. it helps avoid scope creep. do what you can and get that down good before moving on. Some game developers (both indie and AAA) get a bit too excited and try to get EVERYTHING working right off the bad. sometimes that works but you run into a huge risk of your systems not mashing up well, or there's a lot of ideas but none of them feel very complete or fun. Not sure i''ll ever play new eden but I'm hoping it works!

@DragonFlame135 Год назад

corpse keeper has such a cool concept. I could see a really cool rouge-like coming out of a concept like that. The fighting game like combat is quite unique for the genre so they could definitely find a niche.

Something I really enjoy about your series is you give so many games that no one would have ever heard of spotlight. Even if every game isn't the best you still got them attention. You put the best parts of them out for people to see the work and talent put into them and I think that's really amazing. So thank you for your work!

These videos are extremely enjoyable for me

Corpse Keeper is actually an incredible idea. I always loved games like Digimon and Dragon Warrior Monsters, so applying that to a Soulslike is a really neat idea. Hopefully we see improvement on the mechanics and overall design.

I'd be really interested in a follow-up video showing some of the games you've mentioned you're going to keep an eye on. Like a 'did they live up to the promise' vid, if it has even been long enough since some of the games in the earlier iterations of these videos.

@ChromETitaN623 Год назад

Awesome video, I love this series! I'm a little dissapointed about Deathverse though, I'm absolutely loving it and at least on the PS4 the community is pretty alive, the longest wait time I've ever had was maybe 4 and a half minutes

@Crybaton Год назад

I can actually really recommend the original "Let it die"! It had a lot of really cool concepts and a lot of the designs and aesthetics looked super weird and interesting. The progression as you climb the tower was also really encouraging, if confusing at times. And Uncle Death was just a blast to have around.

I fuwking chocked when that surprise Gwyn came out. Also, the yellow scarf lady is amazing, you sometimes have similar companions in the games, but she wastes NO time. Doesn't talk edgy, doesn't convince you to do weird stuff, doesn't try to look cool, she just forcefully helps you and waits until something needs to be done again.

Little tips about Deathverse. When you wait for your match, you can go into the lab and practice against a bot with all the items in your disposal. This is how you can pass time and try combinations of attacks outside of a match. your welcome ^^

@sparkday791 Год назад

As someone who has played alot of Let it Die, Deathverse is just a royal version of LiD that came out to late and has alot of the same clunky mechanics but it also has alot of the fun goofiness of the previous game, The biggest problem is tho that they are MASSIVE time sinks.

@nickelakon5369 Год назад

@marioi.carrillo6264 Год назад

Honestly it looks really fun. I'm no huge fan of BR but there seems to be quite a decent amount of mechanical depth between the interactive environments and diverse weapons and abilities. Especially the fact that the maps are much smaller than any other BR means the developers can put more effort into creating dynamic scenarios for the players to interact. The paywalled progression does suck and I do agree that a BR in 2022 seems really unnecesary lol.
