Continuing My Weird Shooter Game - devlog

[@Codeer]

Hey everyone thanks for watching :) Just to clarify, I do plan to introduce some of the original content & graphics back into the game. I just have to figure out what works and what doesn't now that I have defined a more concrete direction for the game

[@gcstudios9091]

Sounds great!! I'm just glad you're back 😌

[@VenovaGames]

I watched every develop of your game at least 2 times and was sad that I couldn't find more of them. FINALY!!!! This game is a masterpiece and I'm happy to see a new video about its development (:

[@shaxing4971]

I am excited!!! I was worried that you mightve dropped the project but I am glad you stepped back and came back with new fresh air. I am super excited where the project leads and will watch your journey with great interest!!

A legend has returned. Now we wait for Mythic Legion, Dani, and Steven to make their comeback.

[@errorbuddy49]

i miss both mythic and dani mainly i want to see him complete his several year journey of karlson

[@BodiePagelow]

When I first started watching your videos I was ~ten years old and loved video games. It had never really crossed my mind that I could actually create one until I saw your videos. I don't know, something just clicked, and I started a 3 year journey where I built a computer, learned C++, learned blender, and modded so many video game consoles. You gave me hobbies that occupy my time and give me new and incredible experiences constantly. I cannot believe you're back. You changed my life. Good luck on Formbound, we're all here to support you.

[@Nynxxx]

Congrats man, that is quite an accomplishment for your age. I was very overwhelmed by programming when I was young. I first started with java Minecraft mod menus, but that was too much for me at the time.

[@Ghalux]

The legend is back.

[@zoteling2817]

It's awesome to see development continue on this project. Rescoping and taking a step back can be daunting but is definitely gonna be worth it. I love the direction the games going in!

[@Codeer]

Thank you Zoteling! :)

[@DarkSpaceStudios]

Still love this game you're working on. Can't wait to play it!

[@Switch_YT_Official]

Your the reason I got into game development, you and Dani, I haven’t got far and haven’t done much in a while since both you and Dani stopped uploading, but maybe with this new video I’ll try to start learning again.

[@gioloh]

bro's comeback is the best thing to ever happen to the indie gamedev KZbin scene

[@gabriel-ps6do]

Brackeys tho

[@TheRavenLenore]

I love the new approach you're taking to this game! Such a smart decision to make a game that YOU want and not succumbing to fanfair. It's such a unique idea and I can't wait for further devlogs! I'm here for whatever direction you take this!

Wake up guys. Codeer is back with a banger!

[@SuperTaps6]

Codeer is back!!! I’m glad you have a better feel for game development and a more confident plan! I’m so flipping excited to see where it goes

HOLY SHIT HES BACK THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR

[@timothyjacksondrake4454]

Very cool. Glad your back and I look forward to seeing where Formbound goes.

[@formalrat5436]

I remember really loving the ideas and concept of this entire game and watching the devlogs intently...Then I forgot about them, until he came back! Just brought back my love for devlogs and indie games.

[@GameDevBuddies]

Finally, you’re back! Love the progress and the design decisions you’re making, keep up the good work

[@slakkie_]

I really find it funny to see how you mix both english and dutch when writing things down, I do the same!

[@artIfactuaI]

[@BUCCIMAIN]

[@LegoDinoMan]

I’ve moved apartments, started a new job, become horrible ill, and recovered since the last devlog. Glad to see you back!

[@CodeCupboard]

YES THE DEVLOGS ARE BACK!!

[@s4bishii]

It's been so long man, glad you're back. The concept of the game seems much clearer now, I can't wait to see where you take it from here.

[@cecillewolters1995]

This concept potentially makes for an awesome gameplay loop, where new parts or weapons can unlock new areas in older levels. Bonus points if players can sequence break. Either way, glad to see that this project is back in business :) Good luck and have fun

[@neoturtle1753]

Looking great! I think the idea of taking previous assets and starting over with a well though out template was a great choice. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@twangerrrrrr]

Bro finally uploaded. Making Walter Walnut is probably ny favourite video you made. I hope the game does well

[@spacervirus]

I loved the idea of ​​doing the same project, but this time doing it all over again, with new knowledge and a deeper foundation, great idea, congratulations

[@JustaFloatingEye]

I LOVE the new squishling idea of being a parasite! And the gameplay loop sounds awesome. This game is gonna be amazing!

Now way, I though you quitted this project! I’m happy to see it come back, its very inspiring for me

[@renjiplays7567]

I started watching this dev log series earlier today and finshed it all super quickly, I’m really loving this game like I mean really loving! I’m looking forward to buying this game the second it comes out lol. That being said I do really hope you take your time and don’t overwork yourself. You’ve gotten yourself a new subscriber!

[@Awindow]

He's back😭🔥

[@theultimateamazingsleepyko6687]

I want to play a game like this It's open world The planet is being destroyed Main character starts out in a world filled with giant monsters they have nothing but a sword and experience At the start of the game,they encounter a squishling They get this power and go around destroying massive monsters and machines with their new power These machines originally were meant to kill the monsters but were corrupted Destroying these will give you cores,cores let you upgrade your squishling and buy abilities Some upgrades i can think of are your legs transform into the 4 tentacles so your arms are free and can hold your sword (tutorial upgrade) Climbing enemies deals damage to them (sharp tentacles) Faster legs (the tentacles already move fast btw) Tentacle spin (spin the legs very fast,grow more from back and arms,a move that's hard to hit because of it's long wind up,allowing enemies to swat you away,deals massive damage and has a custom animation if it kills something, and a different one for killing a mighty enemy) I want to the comments more ideas but KZbin is lagging

[@RiverHeartfelt]

Thinking back to it, you were the first devlog series I ever watched. Glad to see you're back and hearing about optimizations and lessons you've learnt is invaluable. Especially the game design document... you can only put them off for so long.

[@PixelKat5]

Im so glad you’re back. Has it really been 3 years!? Oh jeez… I feel like these last 4 or 5 yes have gone by so fast, like wasn’t it just the start of summer!?

[@DmnJordy]

These half-dutch half-english game dev tasks in Trello are one the most niche yet very relatable things to me. Keep up the work!

[@Smelly-bm6gj]

Just for a clear difference between when you’ve got a host or not you should give the parasite a different number of legs, a smaller size or a massive debuff from the human ( or don’t it’s your game. )

[@Skeffles]

Excellent to see you're back on it and have a plan. I really like how it looks and can't wait to hear more about the project!

[@CodeProgrammer-f6n]

Long time no see. Welcome back ❤

[@doughjoughdev]

So glad you're back! You're definitely one of the few individuals that got me really inspired when I started learning game dev, so I'm super excited to see another devlog from you. It looks great!

[@balltickler-hm5mo]

I remember since 2yrs ago, every few months I would check to see if there were new devlogs and there hadn't been for a while so I was wondering where the cool codeer guy went but you're back now so that's really cool

[@Randomperson-pk3ce]

Omg i lost this channel and couldnt find it, thank the recommendation gods, and you for posting.

[@exotic42069]

make it so the parasite does know how to shoot a gun and only temporarly gets the knowledge from humans, also make it so some humans can be bad at shooting and some can be good, to balance it out make like puzzles where you have to squeeze through holes or make it so humans have a time limit you can use them for

[@Almighty7sStudios]

Glad to see you are back! You are one of the first Game Dev KZbinrs I have ever watched!

I'm glad this guy is finally back. This guy inspired me. I almost finished a game once on Scratch because this guy motivated me.

[@mammalianmolasses4724]

I really hope that “my weird shooter game” is still the title when the game releases. Edit: oh never mind it’s Formbound. I’ll grudgingly admit that’s a better name for it, even if less funny.

FINALLY! I watched you in middle school and was so sad when you stopped uploading, I checked your channel every couple of months, im so happy!

[@anbagames]

One of the most creative, interesting and entertaining devlog series! Welcome back man and Walter Walnut will definitely be bought and played this year! ❤

[@JammyJimJ1m]

Return of the king. I remember messaging you in my first year at university 4 years ago about that procedural animation tutorial

[@kiki-drawer2669]

Awesome! Love the update♡ big expectations are very intimidating, but keeping a project small at this time is always good. A game doesn't need to have everything to be good. Even without a goal previously, getting to play around with your tools is good! Good luck on your next goals!

[@Tummus2k]

Hyped to see where this project goes. I loved the orginal design and art when you first uploaded videos on it and always wondered what happened. I think the host idea is really interesting, seems like a really nice progression system and fits in well with the art!

[@AetherXIV]

I checked your channel probably 6 times while you were gone. I think your new clarity on the design is awesome and I can't wait to see where it leads.

[@Corvaccio]

Scope creep is a real threat to any project, it was a good thing for you to take a step back. With more vision and purpose, you can now make it justice :)

[@TobyJWalter]

I remember binging into all your devlogs during covid, great to see you again!!!

[@Ezzero07]

I cant believe its been 2 years! this game has been on my mind every once in a while..

[@Sturmmann-303]

good to see that this project isn't dead. Add a stealth level where the alien crawls through the vents and kills the people to escape

[@NixonGamesAtYT]

YES HE'S BACK! I really like the idea of playing as a parasite, however I do hope the robots remain in the main game because I think the mechanics of how the player has to take them down is very unique. I love it when games turn combat into a sort of puzzle like having to shoot legs off of the big robots or climb it in order to pull a battery out.

[@iHeartGameDev]

Awesome vid, Codeer! Thank you for continuing to inspire!

[@galaxytinus7781]

i have loved this project since the start and really like where its going

[@nivmiz0]

Wow it's so cool to see you're back! Best of luck with this version of Formbound!

[@BumpDev]

You should give the alien big eyes to make it cute and friendly and it will have more character and personality. This way it is more recognizable as well. Imagine the splatoon squid without its eyes.
