Skyrim and Vermintide Made a Baby Indy RPG And It's Pretty Good - The Bloodline 

Heeeyy, that’s my game! Thank you so much for doing a video on it! (: I’m so glad you enjoyed playing, despite it being a bit rough around the edges in some regards! 😁

Do not be concerned if you find out that there is a slight bend in your spear. It is perfectly normal.

Very important! For anyone who sees this and wants to try the game. DO NOT tame a green slime! There's a quest for it in the first town. It will delete all your equipped items and future items that you equip, making your character unplayable. The issue has been reported to the devs.

Its refreshing to see something that isn't your average indy-roguelite-survivors clone. This looks pretty great. Using this asset pack I bet you could port this to VR and it would be a big hit for the VR community.

I grabbed this as soon as it became available the other day and it's been a lot of fun. Right now it's largely a big sandbox but I'm sure with time a lot of those little locations like that abandoned logging camp will get filled out a bit more. Also there are just so many skills, you can build whatever character you want, and there's a bunch of hidden skills that you can find out in the world (kinda wish you had shown to the end of that wizard tower because there's one up there at the top, actually).

So I bought this game based on this video, it's very well priced, definitely early early access, you cant build any of the buildings or repair your castle yet, they have items you cant get as a placeholder. That being said I still find myself pouring hours exploring and killing, I love that they have lots of fun secrets to explore/figure out. Also Splattercatgaming you can charge melee attacks and you have an alt attack with middle mouse. (oh and a shield bash with attack while holding block)

Tutorial: "You can press space to speed up time on the overworld" No one. Absolutely no one: Splat: "How do I speed up time?"

Literally saw someone cover this yesterday and got it. It’s so fun.

Absolutely love it when you cover first person rpg's.

I don’t think I’ve seen splat this giddy about a game in a while

It's so cray that one person with passion and no budget can do better in "open world" games than whole crowd funded teams. Huge respect.

The game looks pretty sweet. I'm glad games like this are coming out - Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon also has similar mechanics for the learning of skills but no base building or anything like that and a very dark tone but the combat in both these games looks similar. I'm stoked these games are being made.

HELL YEAH! I've been following this game for nearly a year now on Reddit and Twitter. The fact that one dude's put out a game that already looks and feels good to play in early access already is amazing. Just seeing all the little world events, physics interactions, and game systems meshing together makes me think this guy's got a strong future ahead of him. Also, a good case study on not judging games with asset packs on sight. One final note, but I adore games that have skill based leveling (you do something -> get XP -> level up). It feels more satisfying than just waiting for your main level up to distribute points.

Whilst many asset flip games are doodoo, there are the few where it is genuinely a labour of love and the single dev is using assets to supplement the lack of a team. Been following this one for a year or two now and I'm really excited for it, I'll probably wait a bit into EA to grab it, but it has looked promising since I saw the first few little development videos. This is probably going to be compared to Gedonia, but I feel like they're relatively distinct in their systems and general play feel. Gedonia is pretty good, its REALLY jank but its good jank that makes you smile instead of frustrating jank that makes you want to stop playing.

Im stoked to see how this game continues to grow and evolve, its already amazing. This title seems to be comprised of all the things I love in a video game. And, as if we needed any more of a reason to play this, there's also guns, goblins with jetpacks, mounted combat, and some truly awesome magical spells.

I love how the goblins roll and they box you its so different to the usual depiction of goblins

Another one for the wishlist....I don't buy early access anymore. but if it reaches 1.0 i'd be happy to give it a look :)

Random bit o' trivia: "the Nintendo Principle" you referenced is also how Walt Disney designed his parks, only for some inexplicable reason, he called those points of interest "wieners." I think I prefer "Nintendo Principle."

The melee techniques in this game are more legitimate than other games I've seen, over all. The mace keeps flowing instead of direction changing because of its weight, the spear has an animation that tries to go over defenses like shields, etc. Very cool.

9:59 the ones you haven't bought are literally greyed out. The path of things you can unlock next is highlighted with that swirly animation. Simple stuff.

This looks really good! Finally a first person rpg. AAND something that could run on my potato

This looks really good, love the body physics, stuff like that we don't get much of in any game. Some publisher should see your potential and invest in it.

Wishlisted. This one looks great, really. I'm on board rn. Little bit of ponderance on justification of the expenditure, and I'll most likely be pulling the trigger on this one. Ground floor bby!!

Shout out to the devs for making the enemies even slightly smart. I love the fact that the enemies actively try to avoid and sidestep around the player. Why isn't that more common? It's so nice to see enemies with some kind of interest in self-preservation. Noticing location damage - that seems like it could have some real potential. Don't know if it's just aesthetic or has mechanical impact.

This indeed looks very promising. Could use a bit more polish on the animations, especially the parry, but i think this could be a very fun game. This guy always finds something interesting.

WOO! BLOODLINE! Been following it for a long while, glad it's getting more traction!

i absolutely love this game, I cannot wait for it to reach a more finished state. the movement is so nice. especially when you get good with the grappling hook

Made just by one dev? Pretty impressive!

Ha I’m so glad you found the wall jump and wall run at the end. When I found out it was such an awesome moment and turned my fighting style into a gunz/quake like style shooting spells and what have you

something like this would be good as VR game

I just want you to know you are one of the few people who I can listen to talk for more than 5 minutes.

"Sing the Jambiya! Aaaaayo!" LOL!

For only $15 bucks I'll try it out. Helping out indie devs is a good thing in my book.

Hey Splatty, you keeping well my friend? Yup, this game is banging.

Looks like Gedonia

This looks really good! Reminds me of Gedonia and i loved that! Looking forward to this a lot! 🥰

> Splatty, "And not just the men, but the women and children goblins."

If this game had Co-Op I would buy it in a heartbeat

22:04 lol… “Reach down inside your tummy bits and find your bravery”

Bought this game and it's so much better than I was expecting. It's still got a long way to go of course but I feel like it can become really good. It's already got all sorts of neat things but my favourite is probably all the different ways to move around, then there's all the different skills that are almost always levling and it's a great dopamine hit. I've gone with a gun, magic and spear build so far and it works really well, the beginning flintlock pistol feels like it has a lot of weight behind it and the bullet time makes it feel quite fun. There's even an accuracy skill that lets you know how far your shot was, which is both good information and nice encouragement.

This is one of the better games I've seen with this resource pack. Might have to pick it up

Yasss i wanted to see you play this! I’m loving the ice mage tree!! I highly suggest at least one magic spell so you can still attack when your out of mana or your gonna have a bad time!

Yay! This game is finally featured!

Finally it's getting the recognition it deserves!!!

this game looks so fun it will be a high hit hopefully

when i think vermintide combat i think swinging both hands in an alternating fashion and chopping off a rats head with every swing. and now i feel like i was promised something i didn't get.

jambiya is small knife that originates from the middle east, Yemen specifically.

Damn, this looks straight up like FPP version of Gedonia (which is a good thing, because Gedonia is a damn good indie game, but it's eerie just how similar the artstyle is). EDIT: Taking a quick glance at both, I suppose they relied on the same asset packs, because some inventory icons or even enemies are absolutely identical. Again, nothing terrible about it - asset packs exist to be used and save devtime, but initially I thought it's some sort of a sequel/spinoff by the same dev.

It's funny to see someone go from not that excited to play the game to OMG this is great in real time.

Aw man nice one, I've been looking forward to this game since before the arena demo came out this is looking awesome 👌

That goblin whelp seemed a bit sus. Somebody call Orcbolg or Goblin slayer. We need to check if there were any reports of missing persons in the nearby villages.

3:41 Goblin Slayer Season 3 already dropping!

That looks great! I'm usually wary of early access, but if it looks like it's getting regular updates I'll definitely pick it up!

Looks fun, need it on PS5

its fun using the grappling hook on enemies. yank them towards you, and hack them to bits

I see a lot of potential here and I will be keeping my eye on it. The exploration is usually the best part of these games but I am always excited for narrative options and customization.

I bought this game yesterday. Should've waited for your video, lol.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention I'm so getting this pearl

this title has made me install vermintide again

Janbiyah is an Arabic word for a type of a large Arabic curved dagger, usually with an elaboratly ornamented pommel and a scabard made of Rhino horn usually.

If anyone else was paying attention…. I’m pretty sure the mob spatter fights after discussing wall super Mario wall jumping actually popped out of a bush… like it was camouflaging….

The combat is always the most important in these games. And looks like this one is good.

Seems cool, I could sink some hours into this.

Looks cool, reminds of that old minecraft mod, kingdoms i think, where you built up a guild hall

Splat you gotta see how in-depth potion making is. I was playing a specific potion making game that’s not even close to how in-depth it is

Looks much more like Skyrim + Bannerlord with survival game aspects than Vermintide, I don't see any Vermintide at all I'm confused. Bannerlord - nation building and world map traversal Skyrim - first person combat and RPG mechanics Survival games - resource gathering and building

22:55 you walk right by lootable lumber pile... maybe the name of the area "lumber camp" hinted at something? 😊

Thanks for showcasing! ^^

I really wanted this to be my go to game until I saw the 'barrel car' and a goblin flying around with a barrel jetpack.

Exactly my kind of game: exploration, fighting, best level and progress system out there, crafting, building. Like a mix of Daggerfall and The Fall of Avalon.

I am very surprised with this title, instant wishlist.

I was wondering if you would have a look at this game and what your thoughts were

this looks like that one game that never came out called "never return"

I love this type of singleplayer game. Thanks for the video. This game will take thousands of my hours, I can guarantee.

GGs, and wallrun for the save! Decent inv size, and no durability? 😁 Count me interested

Might actually pick this one up. Vermentide melee system is in my opinion the best out there. It just feels so fluid going from guarding to parrying and dodging while sneaking hits in.

Surprising... comes out of nowhere to me. One minor criticism: I dislike the glowing stars over things that can be harvested ; it is rather un-immersive.

You had me at Vermintide!

SplatterCat not knowing what a jambiya is just doesn't seem mathematically plausible.

Ha! You can totally use that grappling hook on enemies! It's hilarious!

Vermin/Darktide be some of my favorites, very keen to try this now.

I'm very picky when it comes to games, but I'm loving the look of this one. Thx for the video.

Man, if you can name the asset pack used for the characters, you know you've played too many indie games.

20:16 its sounds funny to use your own tombstone as a shield

You had me at wall jump.

ThankYou SirSplatt

This looks dope as hell!

13:35 Splatt says "OW" as someone threw something at him? Was that a whelp? "Goblin Bonker"? ... Okay, he is clearly accomplished at his career goals.

Is it just me or does this look a lot like Going Medieval? Just visually I mean. Edit: same assets, I suppose.

Dangit Splatty you done did it again. I really like the looks of this one and it doesn't look like it goes too heavy on the things I don't like about these games. Got a good deal on Fanatical for it too, yeee.

Skyrim city builder bloody hell

You had me at Skyrim.

You should check out The Fabulous Fear Machine, its an interessting indy title which came out just a couple days ago and I see that its being overlooked becasue there was a bunch of games released around this time frame, its a pretty unique game which definitely deserves more recognition than its getting, worth checking out and spreading the word :)

Sing the Jambeya, ayyyyyyyYYYooh!

We are not talking about the "Pelvis Size" setting right?

My modern Dark Messiah

Combat seems better than I expected. I hope the dev can focus the game a bit, maybe drop some of the less developed subsystems. I'd rather have a few really deep mechanics in a fleshed out world instead of a boat of shallow things to do (like a GTA game). Especially as just a solo dev. Still an amazing achievement for what they've done so far.

This is me hoping but this looks like it could be the battle bit for fantasy rpgs.would be amazing if this got as good as battle bit and stomped skyrim and vermin tide

Sounds like an interesting game

Damn, looks fun. Just bought it, it's on sale 33% off right now!
