I stopped playing Final Fantasy cause the fucking sexist pieces of shits at Square Enix always uses a piece of shit male main protagonists. After 40 fucking years it old.

I beat the game in 15 hours all endings. I don't do side missions just the main story.

I despise the action combat direction final fantasy has taken and I used to be a ff fanboy. Love what I've seen of this game so far as I love turn based menu games

Hope you're doing well and congrats on your new gig.

cool video!

wtf bro

Oh hey i bought it day one, so i was one of the 4, i havent had time to really get into it yet lol

Expedition 33 is what FF17 should be: realistic, fantastic and turn based.

I'd like to know why you'd head to unity then ue5? I did the opposite, and am far more efficient in godot despite spending years learning unreal. keep up the great work, successfully releasing something like this is a huge accomplishment! I would be grateful to hear your thoughts on a previous game-jam entry I made, kzbin.info/www/bejne/g56uaIZvd8t_gNE

Can I please ask you about the game architecture? I finally started making my game in godot and I don't want it to grow too much before I know how to scale it properly. It's a 2D, stardew valley-style game with lots of items and characters. People who make tutorials seem to disagree on many concepts and ideas themselves, which makes it really hard for a beginner to learn this stuff. I know about the Game Design Patterns book, but what resources would you recommend to learn about this type of stuff? Thank you and good luck with the game! 💗💗

Once you get 10 reviews on Steam, the game can start getting out into people’s queues, which is a significant bump from “the algorithm basically doesn’t know your game exists”. Get 10 reviews ASAP in whatever way you can! It’s super necessary to create momentum in sales.

I find the demo kind of frustrating. I'm always out of ammo. All the controls are just dumped on the player from the start. The shooting sounds are high pitched, and it makes it unpleasent to listen to for a longer period of time. The game feel's a bit off, but otherwise, it's a cool game

welcome on board, you release a game on Steam :)

I always knew that drawio was very convenient for gamedev development, just had to confirm it hehe. Congratulations on your game and keep doing incredible stuff!!

Your game looks great, If there was bosses or something I would definitely buy, Also I really like the art style and sounds a lot.

To be honest with you, I think the problem it's the price, you can think it's fair to sell it at 4.99 because that's how you value the many hours you spend doing this game, but unfortunately, your potential players/customers don't think the same way, in fact, they only see the finish product not the effort behind to make it, and so your game will be judge against other games in the same price range. Now, you have to ask yourself, why they are gonna choose your game for 4.99 when other popular options are right now at discount on Steam at a similar price with tons of hours of gameplay to offer, at the time writhing this: Hollow Knight is at 7.49, Death Must Die is at 5.59, Pseudoregalia is at 4.49, Vampire Survivors is at 3.74, Brotato is at 3.49 and Celeste is at 1.99. Your game will perform better if it was cheaper, between 0.99 and 1.99, because the lower entry price will allow a larger amount of players/sales, and if you don't believe me just check Seraph's Last Stand, a game that cost 1 dollar on steam and it's on sale right now at 0.69 with more of 3500 reviews. Also, avoid releasing a game when it's close to a big event like Steam's Summer sale, unless you are gonna be part of such event.

I played and I really liked your game! It is superb for a FIRST-EVER-GAME! Such a massive feat to pull off! Congratulations again!

Congrats on the release! What is your reasoning to switch to Unity for the next game? I'm curious because I see most developers migrating the other way (unity -> godot). Do you consider teaming up with an artist for your next title?

Good work getting your game completed and out the door!

Looks to be a great start! I love you're energy and enthusiasm towards gamedev! Keep on making games, and over time, I have no doubt that the exponential experience gained from each game you create will spell out success for you!

I wish i had your talents! i'm an art guy slowly diversifying into different softwares and disciplines in the hopes of making my game ideas into a reality someday. implementing game mechanics and coding still feels so alien to me. Best of luck to you!

I'm confident that you will make it out, having these experience,awareness of your level and the roadmap leveling up.. I'm pretty sure you will be there , keep it up!

Already purchased and looking forward to trying it as soon as I finish up LoZ:Twilight Princess! Yes, I'm about 18 years late to that one.

Sry man😅 I did told all my Star Trek Online friends about your title tho' 😊😄 I did saw a community discussion at your page... about some quality of gameplay... something.. Pretty amazing what you did 👍🏻

Congrats!

Why do yall act like final fantasy was EVER special for being turn based? 16 has way better combat than any game in the series yall just need to go for combos instead of the same lame ass diamond dust lvl 5 zan combl

No FF7 Rebirth review ???

Good luck with the game release!

Hey man, I knew your channel from some of your FF videos I've seen in the past, finding you when looking into devlogs was a pleasant surprise, I'll definitely be watching your journey as a game dev in hopes to inspire myself to finally start mine

reason why did not turn to game dev i suck at graphics creation and bg music both i know how to basic edits of simple stuff , my ideas in a game is niche product

I'm really sorry you've lost some people to illness mate, and kudos on finding a way to share something so imporant to you. I'm looking forward to checking out the demo, the character art in particular looks fantastic. And congrats on the upcoming release!

People in our field have looked at me odd when I ask what they expect their players to feel playing through something and too many will respond with "hopefully like they're having fun :)". I'm very glad you advocate for finding the target medium between player and creator valuation of the end product while throwing your painful inspirations into it and making it a conceptual idealized closure in a way. Instant like and sub from me and I'm gonna absolutely play this.

Congratulations... and wish you all the best

I like the boat that you can play as, good luck my good sir!

Nice looks cool how much is it gonna veb

Life is a ****- All the love too you, thank you for making this and good luck on your way

Love your take on this, and your defense on FFXVI/VIIR's gameplay. I just can't imagine a Bahamut fight where I sat in one place and attacked him in a turn based world.

I love your analysis of the trailer and the nature of turn based in a hyper realistic stylized setting, very enlightening why this type of combat couldn't work in modern Final Fantasy. And i hadn't thought of that before why Turn based is more cartoony in graphics these days. So something to think about but I cannot wait for this game, EX33 might just finally prove Stylized Hyper Realistic games can be turn based and be good.

Looks more like a updated Legend of dragoon combat system rather than FFX.

I would say what FF15's combat should have been. Because this game feels like what FF15 kinda is. Melancholic dramatic theme, dark high fantasy setting, cinematic art and narrative style. Just with experimental turnbased combat. FF13 had a lot of problems, but it still followed that line of turnbasey style with cinematic hyperrealism. So FF15 would have been a great successor with this turnbased style.

Ok now we gotta wait 1 year

for what its worth, i played the og paper mario and i never got bored from doing the quick time prompts it offers, its like jumping in a platformer, you just get used to the input (undertale seems to have the same attack timing prompt as this and the same applies there)
