Inspiring. Enjoying this series.

Hi SSJK9

[@j0r4an89]

aint no way bro

[@sourlesscream1272]

didnt expect to see you here

[@ironphantom]

This was such an incredible devlog. The game looks amazing. I can't wait to see where it goes in the future.

[@advancenine]

Seriously? What a cool thing to say. Thank you. I'm also super excited to see the future of this game!

[@DabidarZ]

"The game" pfff.. DONT U MEAN "NIGHT STONES"!!!

[@ironphantom]

@Dabidar o my gosh you're right I can't believe I missed that

[@advancenine]

Lol. You guys are awesome.

[@nkusters]

I got to say, Watched this one and the first video, and I'm impressed. Watch out @Danidev you have some competition😊

[@advancenine]

Hahahaha! I like the way you think... we'll see if this nerdy dad can keep pace with the big KZbinrs lol

[@nkusters]

@@advancenine You got this 💪

[@pidginmac]

When you used Photoshop to re-inform your LUT, I spent the subsequent 5 minutes saying every swear I know. It just came out of me!!!! I am astounded in the best way!!!

[@advancenine]

Hahaha! I did the same when I learned that trick. So freakin helpful. I’m glad you found you it useful.

[@joshuachesney7552]

Putting a secret entrance behind at least one waterfall is good. There are some laws of game design you just don't break.

[@advancenine]

Haha. You. You understand me. I’m totally with you.

[@CarsOverdose]

Can't wait to see the next part!

[@advancenine]

I seriously can’t wait to show you. I cant to start showing more story elements next week with a dialogue system!

[@TheRallen]

advancenine, thank you so much for posting these devlogs! I was very fortunate to find your first devlog and I subscribed to you asap. the quality of your videos are very good especially for someone who just started. I can't wait to see how the game changes and further develops. good luck on your game man! ❤

[@advancenine]

Holy wow that is a nice thing to say. Honestly thank you for being so awesome and supportive. I am pumped to get this game into your hands so you can play it. It will honestly make my heart happy :)

[@TheRallen]

@advancenine I'm counting on it, the progress so far is amazing 👏 It looks very good and polished. A minor critique, I am not sure about your wind particles. I think you were trying to fill the air with something, but the wind doesn't quite look right. Maybe you can instead put small flying insects of sorts and add in wind trails when you're flying? just a suggestion!

[@advancenine]

@@TheRallen I appreciate that feedback. Not to worry. I can never settle on anything until I’ve changed it at least 5 times :)

[@ChristopherSchweiger]

Hands down my favorite Game Developer/Dad series. This is giving me so much inspiration. Thank you so much!

[@advancenine]

No way. Thank YOU for your motivational support. I truly appreciate it.

[@adarshsahu6724]

Art style of this game looks really nice. So soothing and calming 😌😌. Would definitely give it a play when it releases 🙂.

[@advancenine]

If you play it, it would make my life. You. Are. Rad.

[@YahyaDanboos]

The game is coming along very nicely! I didn't know I can make my LUTs in Photoshop by just applying the screenshot effects on the LUT too 🤩

[@advancenine]

Right!? When I learned that trick it was a freakin game changer! I’m so glad you found it useful.

[@money_hyde]

I enjoy watching dev logs but I don’t usually stick around for the rest, I just browse. I’m not really sure what it is you did but I am throughly invested in these videos and can’t wait to see more!! Thanks for taking the time to make these! They’re awesome! I just recently started learning unity and seeing your work definitely helps motivate me, hopefully I can be as good as you are one day!

[@advancenine]

Aww that is SO nice to hear. Thanks for your super kind words. I assure you that you are motivating me as well. Thank you for your support!

Unity's particle system really is amazing. It's one of my favorite parts of unity as well!

There's two of us! That's great news!

[@BtHacha]

As a dad this is truly inspiring! I've been wondering about starting to build games, but family + being a freelancer doesn't seem to fit quite well 😂 I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying the content!

[@advancenine]

Haha. You are closer than you think! I hope to see you make something amazing. Thanks for the super generous words!

[@InZeWorld]

I am exactly on the same boat. 2 small kids + freelancing and just thinking about making my own game. This series is incredibly motivating. Thanks and good luck finishing your game!

[@mattmurphy7030]

I’ve got one on the way and I’ve been terrified that I’ll lose the ability to do stuff like this, so this is inspiring for sure!

[@algr3177]

I really enjoy how you explain your design choices, especially the grass being noisy. Ignore the haters, Keep doing what you're doing, good luck on everything.

You should do a call to action for people to wishlist the game on your videos. Great job on the devlog, very entertaining.

[@advancenine]

I appreciate that feedback. That’s really helpful and I make a cta next time. Thank you!

[@locolord]

The wholesome dad vibes just don't stop and i'm all for it! I will definitely be checking this game out when it releases.

Thank you much. I’m glad you like the dad vibes cus it’s kinda all I got lol. If you play the game and like it, it’ll make my life :) I have a steam link in the description if you want to play the demo when it releases.

[@goodone.digital]

Watching your devlogs motivated me to try my hand at learning Unity once again. This time, I am trying to document my progress in the form of KZbin shorts to sustain my motivation. Thank you!

[@advancenine]

What a cool idea! I’m pumped for you and look forward to seeing what you create!

[@carlosrodriguesoficial]

Letsssss go! found your channel just like 1 hour ago and you already posted another video! Niceeeee

Since I forgot to mention it in the last video, that and this devlogs quality are over the top! I'd bet you'll reach the million view mark with one of these videos in no time. I hope it's ok I show this devlog to my students as an inspiration for both video making and game making! Awesome work, thank you for sharing!

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

Also, I'm glad to hear that you thought of a good name. It is indeed critical to have a simple, catchy, and original name. As an added bonus, the name Night Stones is derived from an important game mechanic.

Right!? I feel like I lucked out with the name. I like it. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you! A wishlist is the best possible way to support me and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much! You rule.

[@VaciPlay]

I love this videos. The format is great and your editing and commenting is just pure entertainment. This game is starting to looks really awesome. I would love to see in the devlogs not only what visual changes are you doing but also the implementation of mechanics (the bridges at night and so on). Also love this idea of night vs day and maybe dream? Would be awesome to include some puzzles (and some hard ones in "bonus ireas "? Like flying at night to zone that is normally accesible only at day or something like that)

[@advancenine]

Yeah! I really like the way you think! Honestly you're vision is exactly what I want. I'm going to use the black and white shader you see in these videos for the dream sequences. And all my previous games were puzzle game and I heart Zelda so puzzles are on! Thanks for the kind words!

I love your style and you kids are soo cute😊 I think its insane how much you have done in the two weeks, as soon as I found your channel I had to sub I found you are an absolutely wonderful creator! I love these, you gotta make a discord or maybe do streams so others can see your progress and thought process as its happening! Also I have tried forever to try and get a beautiful outdoor lighting/shader like you have, I gotta learn how to do so!

​@@advancenine that sucks about your job. And I dont think it matters how frequently you upload, it matters about the quality of your uploads (which you NAIL), for example Dani, he hasn't posted in almost two years, yet when he does, it will be a banger I'm sure! Keep it up!

I'd be interested to see the water shader flipped because deeper water is usually darker so the center of your river should be dark. I don't think I'd like it as much because the light blue you use right now is great but I just wanna see it because it's a neat shader lol

[@advancenine]

You have a sharp eye. I actually did it that way first because you are right: that’s how water actually works. But I liked it better flipped because it have the world a more stylized feel. I usually tweak these things a few times before settling so don’t be surprised if I change me mind 😀 I’m seriously impressed you noticed that detail.

[@tarantelfaser4772]

this is great. I really love those Devlogs, they consist of the perfect amout of technical details (i really want to create a game too, since seeing your devlogs) and also humor. Really inspiring

Dude! I absolutely love the name and logo! It adds intrigue and it matches the look of the game completely! You are such an inspiration! I wnated to make games for the longest time but shied away from it due to the belief that I didn't know enough... But you switching careers like this from two opposite sides of the coin, makes me think otherwise💪

[@MelodiCat753]

This look amazing! It's really inspiring to see how quickly you built up a pretty scene, and it makes me want to work on my ideas more, ha ha. A quick question: In the last video, there was actually some moments where the water looked like how it does by the end of this video. Were the "users" who told you the water could be less sharp people from before the previous video was uploaded?

[@advancenine]

Thanks for the kind words! And yes users from a Reddit post a few weeks ago clued me into the water. You see through my narrative! I’m new to KZbin posts so I’m catching up :)

[@swalscha]

Nice devlog! Once again, I love it 👌🤩 The nature + particles effects looks amazing, you did a great work 👏😮 One think I'd recommend is to maybe check for an other setup of the player's border/outer line. The white color contrast a bit too much against the environment I think and makes the player stands out in it's own layer. Keep going the good work 💪 PS : it was so cute the part when you held your baby against your chest! You're living proof that it's possible to have a family and still do amazing work 👌

@advancenine well from the looks of things this game will be a great entry point for them. It's a game I know I would have loved running around in, (even if I didn't know what I was doing) it's got spyro/zelda vibes to it. Maybe add a little easter egg into the game just for them. Would be a great way to get them even more excited for it.

I'm an aspiring game dev (kinda) I'm mostly making a satire game, but that still requires effort, so it's always fun to watch people show others how they make their games. - Much love from Australia ^w^!

Greetings from California! I’m also an aspiring game dev since the game isn’t done yet. Lol. I say make whatever makes you happy. That’s what I’m doing :)

[@martinslade6741]

I really like these videos! A lot more interesting than a typical devlog, you pack a lot in and it's paced well! Really excited to see the development of this game.

[@advancenine]

Glad you like them! I means a lot to me.

[@GReimerGaming]

This game looks like something I would definitely enjoy! I can relate to your comment in devlog 1 about being a dad and not having a lot of time lol. Chill and relaxed nature game? I’m in!

[@advancenine]

Right? I don’t why this idea didn’t start earlier. Thanks for being onboard 😀

[@ivanbradley8131]

im not a fan of top down style games but I think you have just changed my mind. Added to my wishlist! I cant wait to see where this goes!!

[@advancenine]

That’s what I like to hear! I’ll do a future episode on camera movement and I hope to wow you with what I have in store. Thanks for watching and commenting!

This is the first ever devlog that I keep up with, and although it just started, I love it. Plus since I am working my way to gamedev, I can learn alot. Thanks advancine ♥

[@advancenine]

Yeeeeeah! I appreciate it. I’m new to KZbin so we can both learn together. Thanks for being a part of the journey.

The first video has popped up for me a couple of times now. I'm glad I watched it. Very well presented, and I can't wait for the next one!

[@advancenine]

Aww thanks for giving it a shot. I’m so glad you liked it!

It'd be really cool to see a firefly particle when exploring the woods at night

[@advancenine]

Holy moly that’s such a good idea. I’m on it!

[@Mxshiro]

This is my dream! Just started 3d school here in norway! This is so epic!! Gl on your journey😊

[@advancenine]

My friend just visited Norway and I want to do freakin bad now. Looks beautiful! Good luck in school! I’m excited to see what you create.

[@Mxshiro]

Thanks alot 😁 yes do that, its beautiful :)

[@TheSaberTrooper]

Ayy the second log! Looking forward to more! It's been great so far! Don't forget me when you blow up! I've been here since log 1!

[@advancenine]

Honestly I'll never forget you. A week ago, my videos would only get 100 views (and pretty sure they were just my dad watching 100 times). You're and OG and I appreciate it!
