2 YEARS?!?! I can't believe it's been so long. The way the game has transformed, it's just WOW!

[@OttoTheMatRat]

I listened to 2 ads for you man. That's the support i can give. Hope it helps!

[@OutgunnedGod]

Excited to see it! I reached a similar milestone some time ago - it's amazing to see other devs chase the same dream.

[@jonatansan01]

As a game dev hobbyist making a MMO tycoon type of game, this is all very strangely inspiring.

[@fantasywiz54]

I just found out about your channel and game and it looks amazing! I'm definitely keeping my eye on this project. I'm a hobby game dev and I've played MMOs all my life and want to work on one someday. You are very inspiring.

[@vomiish]

I just got into gamedev and your content is SOOOO inspiring! Keep up the good work, you're on the good track!

[@GratissTVofficial]

Man watching all this progress is so motivational and impressive. I hope one day I'll do projects as big as this. Amazing vidoe

[@taylorfisdboss5200]

This is so wild. I started coding my little hobby project game last summer, and have returned to it this summer. I’m amazed at how much progress you make in a more complex genre with more demanding considerations. Bravo and keep up the good work! Can’t wait to play this sometime :3

[@simspawn]

Here we are, back to start my promise to watch this series for one reason and on reason only. Its impossible for a solodev to create a successful mmo. Lets see how far we get. Ive hit like, Ive hit subscribe, Im here for the long ride. Lets see where the road ends.

[@Baelfyr]

I have to say, even though I don't play the game, I really enjoy the game development side of things, as a game dev myself, this is the part I enjoy. I have enjoyed watching your progress for the past year or so after finding your channel, and I'm still excited to see the new videos pop up every couple of weeks.

[@NightHutStudio]

Congratulations Dane! Consistency is a super power. Really inspiring to see how far you've taken the game in 2 years 🚀

[@SurvariumCryptoGame]

Man, i love your videos cause it gives some inspiration for me! NOIA looks very nice 💯 wish you all luck and keep working 🤙

[@CiderMillGameDev]

Been following your work for quite a while now, it’s so inspiring. Also it’s incredible to see the amazing effort by the community to help improve the game. Great work! Can’t wait to see everything that Noia becomes

[@LegoDinoMan]

I was so pumped for this video to release, fantastic work!

[@alzahelb6053]

I'm impressed you've done so much in 2 years ! Keep the good work

[@thelazylionsden8539]

Dang its crazy to look through all the progress. Love the commitment and momentum, keep up the great work #respect

[@juancruztobar9317]

Been following since a while, I love to see your work and how you approach the problems of game dev in general, keep up the amazing job and that discipline! my fav rpg: Gothic 3

[@zBerzerkerx]

Been following you ever since this was born in the fantasy online subreddit. I liked all the "notification" you would send at the discord for each video haha. I can't believe how far this come and I cannot wait for more content. Please take your time polishing this wonderful game you have created and keep enjoying it! PS favorite RPG is Final Fantasy Tactics.

[@radius0262]

Wow, Noia Is literally evolving, Is Amazing how much you did in One year

[@AstonJay]

What?! It's been 2 years already?! Holy cow... time flies🫣

[@falseknight4371]

You seem very strong at coding and learning man. Game looks great, if theres anything id improve is probably more effects for combat.

[@Guubster]

2 years is dedicated. Keep it up!

[@wkornf]

Amazing job

[@mirrorinfinite5392]

The art and the sprite upgrades are looking good!

[@dnoldGames]

This game really reminds me of my childhood MMORPG NosTale

[@wilmarmaya]

What an amazing proyect, love it.

[@alcionetauri]

any chance you can talk about how networking and security works in Noia?

[@noiadev]

Personally, I cannot. The network library I use is Mirror for Unity. Those guys are pretty smart, they even have bug bounties. Past that I ensure any command from the client to the server is double checked against server side data to ensure safety.

[@Babugue]

Odin Sphere mentioned, much more love added

[@simspawn]

Well, I made ut to 2:20 before I jad to stop just to say..... Ya know, this is kinda awesome so far.

[@Bloobs_Dev]

Love it such an inspiration 💕

[@zephyrvalentine5733]

Legend of Mana is one of my all time favorites. I'd love to see some elements of it in Noia

[@neversyn2panda984]

One must admire the amount of dad joke humor. Absolutely love it 😂

[@CatEarDad]

amazing!

[@emreye6282]

mad respect!

[@phnkcell710]

Amazing work bro

[@ysegrim9824]

i use hotbars on my streamdeck in a relatable way, my right stick basically handles the hotbar split in 2 sets of 5 and L1 is the mode shift activation for that and other things regarding buttons for my right hand. R1 handles mode shift for double binds of various stuff regarding to the left hand.. i'd be looking forward checking out noia if it is on steam.

[@noiadev]

@@ysegrim9824 Not yet. Noia isn't ready for steam just yet.

[@RealFish_TH]

Just discovered this, im very interested to try this game out! I'm looking forward to play it when I get it download, espeicially the party contents 👀

[@maddys2741]

2 years already...wow! Where has the time gone? 😂

[@concept007]

Putting in WORK! Looks great man, keep it up.😂😁🙏🏾 Favorite RPG is probably Seiken Densetsu 3(SNES) or Legend of Mana(PSX)

[@MikeGemi]

Game is coming along great! Favorite RPG title for sure is Skyrim

[@EricSome-uf8ip]

Saw your posts on reddit, nice

[@AllHailKingGila]

very cool

[@Storm-dk7zp]

First off, amazing work, great progress, you must be really proud :) As for my favourite RPG... hmm I probably played WOW the most hours, but never consintently. Elderscrolls Oblivion I probably enjoyed most in the sense that fun per hours played (while it still were quiete a few) was high. What Im still missing, now as a husband is a really nice story focused coop rpg. Not a complex story (we just play casualay every few days) but a nice story with easy enough gameplay... we will see if noia will be that in the future :D

[@cringecatmasteredits]

ngl Octopath traveler is my favorite rpg series

[@Godot-Bro]

Amazing work! I am very impressed with your dedication. Looks like a great game! Quick question, are you not using auto tiling for map building? It looked like you were manually placing each piece. Obviously do what works for you, but auto tiling saves tons of time! Also I love the voiced quest lines at the top of the screen! The only issue with that is it makes it harder to localize into other languages! 😂 If that's something you even want to do.

[@noiadev]

@@Godot-Bro I tried seeing up auto tile rules a few times and gave up XD

[@Godot-Bro]

@@noiadev It can definitely be a bit tricky, but it's super nice when working! Again, awesome game dude! You're an inspiration.

[@StealthfiretheHexagonal]

10:49 IMMA FIRIN MA LASER!

[@CasperNotGhost]

Great consistency! Keep up the good work! (writing a comment for algorithm) I don't play real RPG games, so I don't have a favourite, but there is a thing called Hypixel Skyblock, so if this counts as an RPG, that's it.

[@KenSimon_54]

in my opinion the character flipping every time the player changes direction feels kind of weird, but that's just me

[@noiadev]

@@KenSimon_54 there is a setting to disable it. It is disabled by default now.

[@cole9058]

Keep it up bro, i believe in ya

Dragon Age Origins is awesome. (per the request)... keep up the good work!

[@dibaterman]

Nice I just hit feature complete of 40% on my project, but it's a big step, most of the rest of my work is not novel. So no real learning to do more or less all the systems are just for tying into.

[@simspawn]

Great work improving the systemlog. (No, I wont comment as I go this heavily on all the vids) 13:13 now, and thank you for making puns. I salute you sir. 15:25 Sir, how long have you been programming? 16:35 oh you're in unity... Dont mind me, Im tarded but really though how long have you been programming? 17:04 I literally cant believe you just P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P'ed me 🤔 (i literally love alliteration like licking lollypops longingly, alone, listening listfully lapping lakes of languishing levity~) 21:50 O.K. that reference deff pushes you the rest of the way up to f* boss dude. You're cool, I hope this really goes somewhere. 23:51 😮

[@rotteclaw234]

Damn you got done so much done! How much time do you spent average per week ok this?!

[@noiadev]

I honestly have no idea anymore. It's never just a solid x hours. It's 1 hour, walk, 1 hour, eat, 1 hour, play with kids.

[@rotteclaw234]

@@noiadev yea i see. But like approximately 5 hours a week, 10, 20 30? A rough indication

[@NickRick-rc3to]

Wow

[@ExcellenceDev]

My favorite RPGs are Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest 9

[@victorcabral8061]

I just clicked this because "noia" in my language means "crackhead" and i'm not dissapointed

[@KluioOfDestiny]

Favourite RPG: Gothic 2

[@MrCarnac]

Hi Dane, Favorite RPG Title: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn

[@jradesenv]

Im developing my roguelike, its already playable and i have so much fun playing it with my family… i have first of four planned maps, but im already waiting steam so i can put this demo for play test. But i really want to start a devlog channels, but never had any skill of video editing :( im all about coding skills and a little of pixel art, but nothing of a video editor :(. How do you did it so wl making a video esch 2 weeks? Do you make it yourself?

[@noiadev]

Yep. I couldn't hand off the devlogs to an editor even if I wanted to. I write a script then realize I am missing footage for 90% of the stuff I am talking about, so I have to go record footage to match my script. Tuesday is script day, Wednesday is audio recording/cutting down audio. Thursday is video editing. You'll learn. Go back and look at some of my first videos. Devloging is another skill I had to get better at.

[@jradesenv]

@@noiadev oh my… youre such a hero on my game dev quest! I was talking right now with my wife, while playing this video again on our Tv… i was just telling her how this is the game i always dreamed of build. Im starting with a roguelike, as it is a much easier genre to start, small scope, but i always aimed to do a Tibia like game, which i can say that was the game of my life since i was 13 years old… now im 30. Well, i rrally dont have words to tell you how much your devlogs means to me! This video specially made me happy in a strange way, like if you were someone that i knew long time ago and that im proud of, and maybe im happy to see that my dream is something possible to make, as you always show us. Keep up the good work, and i will always wish you and your family the best, as if you were my close friend!

[@p-ond]

So cute

[@tarekdemiati9991]

Hi Dane, Have you got a full time job ? In average, How many hours do you work per week on your game ?

[@noiadev]

Yes. Roughly 20 hours a week

[@simspawn]

We only made it to 4:31 before a nitpick, and its a nitpick~ She says "without so much ~×*OF*×~ a word to your host" but the phrase is properly "without so much ~×*AS*×~ a word to your host" Like I said, thats a nitpick, but shit me does that kinda stuff really grind my gears.....

[@kovacsxx]

10M (1'000'0000) or 1 million lines in 4 sec?

[@noiadev]

1 million in 4 seconds

[@1MrSlim1]

[@Uzknown]

Accretia, Bellato or Cora?

[@noiadev]

Bells forever!

[@lipopo_tame]

I like curse of aros

[@Samn3lla]

I've always been interested in RPGs but could never get into them, this and one other are the only exeptions. My other favourite MMORPG is Wynncraft, a server on minecraft.

[@noiadev]

Ha! Minecraft was the first place I tried making an MMO. Back when Bukkit addons were still a thing.

[@eikeksi11]

Maybe do 10 years, wow is 20 yr now, didnt look as good as now and still more stuff to do

[@davehughes9718]

Unfortunately I had to suffer through your bee puns when i tried the game a while back... -_-

[@zackchen6280]

20$ for SSL is too much. You can and should get it for free. Next year you can save a few bucks there :)

[@victormorvy]

Noia in portuguese means "a stoned person"

[@Ryöken17]

Are you moving the player on the "update function" and not on the "fixedUpdate function" ? It feels not smooth at all.

[@noiadev]

Unfortunately that doesn't tell me much. WOuld you mind putting a bug report on the discord with a screen capture if possible? Update() and FixedUpdate() are both used for various things.

[@Ryöken17]

@@noiadev Are you using unity? 🤔 Update () is called every frame, but depends a lot of frame rate. FixedUpdate() is called each second ( using frame rate to adapt on seconds), this function is better use to move something cause they will not change with the frame rate, making a move smooth.

[@Ryöken17]

@@noiadev All i said is "sometimes your character move strangely like he is glitching 🤔 maybe if it's not a velocity but a translate ? 🤔 It feels like his move speed is not consistent and the character is sticking on the ground"

[@VFusioN69]

pl export it for MACOS

[@noiadev]

Apple requires a developer fee of $100/year, and the only way to export for modern Apple processors is to compile on a mac device. I don't have a mac, and I don't want to give apple any money. Maybe in the future. Mac players can still play in Safari, or any web browser that supports hardware acceleration.

Why I need to give my email account with this game to play? I don't trust it men... this is the biggest mistake you made

[@celsladroma8048]

You achieve the pinnacle of coding, you did really good. You merge the 3D into 2D game.. The game their no motivation no emotion, something the most important aspect of the game.. YOU MUST NEED A TEAM or a Company in order to achieve you dream game... First you need to create Demonstration how to play your game because player don't know how to play your game, just like they are dancing in your hand.
