Releasing my First Steam Game! 

yo are welcome, i apprecoate your feedback tune in next week for another granola bar review

thank you!

thanks! definitely want to make a switch port, I think it could do decently on there

yo thanks! I appreciate your comment!! Online should be done relatively soon, maybe a month ish out

thank you!

thanks for the well wishes and for watching the video!

thank you, that is very kind, I really appreciate the feedback!

thank you!

heck yea, what kind of game?

yo definitely feel you there! I do think over time you do build up the confidence but yea the first plunge into it can feel kind of off. But if the thing im selling is decent and im honest about the price / what you get for it, then you cant go wrong. Appreciate the comment!

haha thank you!

thank you!

oh heck yea whats it called?

@@dogma.questlogIt's a little VR puzzler game called Onsui, the only goal was actually to release so success I guess. Onto the next one

yo thank you!

thank you!

thanks!

Thanks!

snowboard kids is very cool haha, and I like the lift back up idea, that would be super cool!

yo thank you!

thanks! heck yea

thanks!

very true! It would be cool to make a level editor / or even seeded maps

oh wow, thanks for checking it out, guess so!

yo thank you!

gupi is goated

thank you!

hey thanks for checking it out! my friend matt ulicney made the cover art for the game, he's insanely good and it is a digital painting. you cna look up his website to find more of his work and hes got other socials as well if you are interested. definitely one of the best parts of the aesthetic of the game i think haha

@@dogma.questlog Awesome, thanks for answering, I'll check them out!

yo thank you for the comment, thats a great idea and would be super fun,I might reach out! ive seen sime of their videos before they are cool haha

hey thank you! for the local muktiplayer I ended up making a script called "player manager" and then when it detects somebody new pressing A, the manager just puts it into the right slot. Unity's new input system is great for this because it handles the actual joining and stuff like that, you just have to tell objects where to go. I might make a video on this too thanks for the suggestion. and also feel free to ask more indepth questions here, or you could join the discord and message me there too.

yo thanks jake! love seeing your progress too! I think a lot of game dev youtube seems so quick and fast paced its crazy to realize how much making this stuff actually takes!

also I learned a ton during the process, so I think I could make it faster now, but I had to make it that slow the first time!

yo thanks!

thank you! I want to do consoles, but I got rejected from Nintendo switch. It seems pretty hard to get on there, but I'm going to try for other consoles in the meantime!

@@dogma.questlog im blown away that you got rejected by nintendo considering the amount of shovelware on the eshop. then again... nintendo being nintendo...

yeaaaa, I hear that incorporating as a business helps a ton, I think that may have been a factor. Also potentially the games release date being a few years ago throws them off. I'll try again sometime hopefully I can make it, I love nintendo consoles so it'd be a dream.

thank you for the support!

yea for sure! I generally started with a plane in blender and turned on symmetry so I'm only modeling half of it. I think the most important factors were the silhouette so when you look at the edge of the model as you spin it around does the shape still look like a bunny or whatever you are trying to model, and then secondly the textures go a long way so the model doesn't have to be that detailed. I tried to keep it simple, and focus on the overall shape. Some of the characters where loosely based on stuffed animals or Christmas ornaments so it also can help to have something you can hold to spin around in your hand to work from in real 3D. If you go to brendanroarty.com/Page1.html you can scroll down and see them in t-pose if that helps and some of the older bunny hill devlogs and shorts on the channel have some shots of me modelling them that might help with showing triangle count etc. Also if you join my discord I'd be happy to give feedback tips on stuff you model if you are inclined in that way too. I've been meaning to make a modelling crash course kind of video just to get all the modelling stuff I do out there and see what people think or if others have tips to share too. Thanks for reaching out! hopefully this was helpful in some way haha

fair point, it's a pretty foggy game

yo thanks, it just went on sale for ~4 dollars today!

@@dogma.questlog thank you, i grabbed a copy

@@dogma.questlog man, this game is hard af

you'll get the hang of it, you got it

@@dogma.questlog funny you say that, i have 2 achievements left. the 1000 races and play with 4 people. if you would like i can play some more and figure out some more ideas for achievements, i'm a developer over at retroachievements

congrats on staying consistince

yo thank you!

I'd like to make a modelling breakdown video sometime soon, some of my shorts have verrrry breif insight into my process there, but definitely need a full video. And that's very fair, it is a weird and hard balance to judge what should go in a game and what shouldn't, but all feedback is appreciated and I'd hope people would just accept some and move on haha no need to respond negatively to people trying to help! Thanks for commenting!

yo thank you! I appreciate it :)

at the point of this video I had sold around 1.5k copies, you can do the math with the steam price, but remember steam takes 30% cut and some of those copies were sold at a discount so the average price is lower per copy as well. Hope that helps!

@@dogma.questlog thanks a lot this does

hahah never noticed that yea I missed the 'N' no one has ever mentioned it before. no one reads it I guess, thanks for the heads up!

lookong into console ports!

@@dogma.questlog That's so awesome!

yo! the game is verified on the steam deck and cross platform cloud saves should work, steam deck should work great

@@dogma.questlog thank you so much i going to buy this game!!

@@charti1308 much appreciated !!

which bar should I review next week?

if im being honest id say garuka bars are a must-try for a premium granola bar experience. however you might lose some relatability with the common layman. That being said, a more down-to-earth review might be of the cliff nut-butter chocolate and peanut butter bar. Easy, packable, affordable, and widely available.

@@mattulicny1632 I think I'll give it a go

bovid 19

thank you! I appreciate you boss

haha its 4 maps, and has online

never played ski safari ill check it out, but you can also play the game on itch.io, its on sale right now!

honestly fair, it seems to me that the maggots actually provide me with an ancient zen like state, that allows me to "enter the zone" effortlessly, a sort of flow

fair enough, they do ultimately bring an earthy natural element to what is an otherwise wholly processed food. i could see why someone much in line with you or one like the well known influencer and podcaster extraordinaire joe rogan would seek out a more primitive way of nutrition

@@mattulicny1632 you do make a fair point about, and I'm extrapolating here (correct me if I've had the wrong assumption), with the insinuation of the "low" nature of this meal. The "natural" way is primitive like you state. I do think that there is something to be said, argued even, about food that goes "next level", even food that is not fit for consumption of mere "natural" beings like us, but food that pushes the boundary on what food is. Something like a cliff bar really is a bit further along this righteous albeit transhumanist approach than the lowly nature valley. I can see where you are coming from.

I've heard this as well, I do think it would work better for larger games, but I do currently sell the most copies on sale, thanks for the comment!

yea fair, I think the reason i would raise it is because people only buy stuff on sale so if i price it down on a sale then itll still be a larger amount, but the sale makes it enticing. I see what you mean though, its interesting what difference the $4 makes in peoples mind haha

hello!

What I meant by that is that it is a game designed to be played with multiple controllers at once, something that is more akin to a console than a pc, but I'm a big pc fan and I'm glad I made it for all pc platforms. I just think it's better suited to a console environment conceptually and would therefore potentially sell better where things like many controllers are more common. I think pc is becoming more and more relevant in "replacing" consoles but I would consider the steam deck a console in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for the comment

I think it is an awesome illustration that captures the game's atmosphere, it's okay to differ artistically though thanks for the feedback

@@dogma.questlog I think it's very different from the rest of the art (at least based on photos/videos), but of course, the decision is yours. And very nice that you can take feedback!

@@awesomegamedev that's a fair take, I appreciate your response
