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!!

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! :)

[@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.

[@DarkSpaceStudios]

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

[@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!

[@kanethedev]

One of my fav devlog series. Welcome back king!

[@gioloh]

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

[@gabriel-ps6do]

Brackeys tho

[@Switch-Youtube-Content]

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.

[@GameDevBuddies]

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

[@DarkDax]

Wake up guys. Codeer is back with a banger!

[@Almighty7sStudios]

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

[@timothyjacksondrake4454]

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

[@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

[@twangerrrrrr]

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

[@techyte]

This looks so cool! I love the new ideas you have for the game and can't wait to see where you take it!

[@hamsoft23]

"Good ideas spawn new ideas" is actually a pretty sick phrase

[@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.

[@fullstop8991]

I saw your videos about your octopus game a few years ago and it really inspired me to start on the path of games. Fast forward a few years and I’m now in my first year of uni studying games. Excited to see how your project progresses :D

[@ObviouslyASMR]

Great mindset update man, I'm not a game dev but I recently had a similar shift working on my webapp. I definitely recommend working out the MVP you already have in mind first, and just write down any ideas for later without getting sidetracked. Try not to worry about the pressure; I can relate but for big projects like this I think it can work well to release things like a demo/beta etc which I'm sure everyone watching these devlogs would love, and they'd know it's not the finished product yet

[@tertyta]

Letss go new Codeer video i have been wating for this.

[@CriminallyUnderatted]

You legitimately had me worried about you when you disappeared back in 2022, glad to see you alive and well!

my god im actually so happy, your devlog videos were always my favorite!

[@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

[@iHeartGameDev]

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

[@JustaFloatingEye]

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

[@Sv3r]

I'm glad you are back! I've been regularly searching up your channel for the past 2 years :O

[@angelofdeath0203]

I'm glad I never unsubbed and had faith you would return. Welcome back, regardless of how long your stay is

[@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

[@GM000null]

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!

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

[@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.

[@BassToad]

I was thinking about this project a few weeks ago, glad to see you back!

[@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!

[@keyxvanlierop6011]

Great to see you continuing. Really love the devlogs.

[@alexplosion_ITA]

I swear like a week ago i randomly rembered about these devlogs but i didn't remember the name of the channel so i just went "hm, i wonder how that guy is doing" and now bam, new devlog! Amazing progress btw, really love the parasite idea

[@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

[@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!
