Cat thinks he's talking to him. So he sat up to give full attention. absolutely adorable.

[@vincei4252]

That's a quality cat right there.

[@thispeen]

@@thispeen Yeah, his cat is extremely cared for and you can tell he gives that cat tons of love. The fact it's just sitting there and intently listening to him shows a lot. I always though Cohh was a good dude.

Wish him good luck with that title, the genre is so saturated right now that I wouldn't touch it for a good 10 years as a dev, let alone a producer

[@epyjacek]

Saturated? There are like 3 good games in that genre in the last 15 years. If this game is good, people will buy it. I will buy it for sure.

[@NoDFX_]

im gonna buy it, i always buy passion projects like this on steam. And every single time I have I loved the fuck out of them, and it brought my love for gaming back.

[@user-od9ki3np1k]

The reason asmon doesn’t get into game development is because he got a C in programming? Bro… you the 1% that even had programming as a subject? I wish I had programming in school. Closest I got was learning Microsoft excel formulas

[@ColonDee.]

Funny that C is actually very useful in game programming...

[@Balloonbot]

Not too late to learn. So many resources online

[@Vultain]

​​@@MovieFan13I took 3 programming languages and hated every moment of it. I also didn't have a job market to even begin to utilize it. I went on to get a degree in IT and Computer Networking and finished in 2004. I couldn't find employment locally or was overwualified for everything else. I was either looking at moving 500 miles+ away from friend's or family. Unfortunately I ended up in retail instead. The knowledge simply decayed and I would have to redo everything to re-enter the field. Trades pay significantly more here. The local Walmart pays better than the guy's in the IT field.

Man in the n64 Zelda the zombies when you time travel scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Like I would actually have nightmares and whenever my friends would go to that area I would cover my eyes. Totally agree with asmon, things used to be dark and scary.

[@Rytom]

I could not beat OoT because of those re-deads. Eventually a few laters I managed to fight my fears (literally), then I found out that WindWaker had an equivalent (screamin dudes in the ghost ship? I think, it's been a while). Really would love to see these make a return.

I really love pixel games, I feel like the passion for the project is always there more than not if you catch my drift.

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

Pixel games by small studios definitely always feel much more genuine.

[@stormweaver2535]

I like that it is just easy to make. 3D is fine, but pixel 2D can be good enough. Shout out for Secret of mana, Secret of Evermore and Chrono Trigger.

[@AzurePursuer]

I want a town builder in the vein of Dark Cloud. Houses that have people that go best with it, but to layer on that people who work together better with other people, and trying to design the perfect town. Dark Cloud really was on a whole nother level, way ahead of anything else out at the same time. I miss those days.

[@a_loyal_kiwi88]

Dark cloud really was special. Can't really think of another game that captures the same feeling or gameplay loop.

[@Polo_Bear]

It was good until it was min maxed to get the best layout for rewards. Soundtrack is still goated, love me some Queens.

[@jackalo34]

omg i would love that i played the fck out of dark cloud.

[@Ralathar44]

Was looking for someone else who caught the similarities to Dark Cloud. Games definitely need more of that again so i'll happily help them test the game out.

[@Dranzel]

Dragon quest builders kinda has that vibe going for it.

[@axy4714]

the QoL locked behind gameplay comment was crazy from Asmon considering he loves vanilla wow where you have to level for like 25 hours before u get ur first shitty mount if u can even afford it.

[@jtjames79]

It's a very old tabletop RPG system/style. You always get a bag of holding after you figure it out without it once or twice, around level 3 to 5 in D&D. Why? Because as the DM I'm really going to need you to pay attention to what I'm saying and not writing down a bunch of superfluous details on your character sheet. Making you decide if you're going to bring a 10 ft Pole or a shovel is funny only once. When every little piece of loot matters should only be at the very beginning. Even use a Tetris mechanic like Diablo, where everything has to actually fit in a backpack. And the loot is incredibly detailed. Marking the point where the player goes from poor to middle class is this easy as giving them an NPC that now handles all their loot for them. Even progress further where you end up with a small encampment following you around. Like a group of dwarves ready to pull out every nail in the dungeon, restore and sell all the furniture etc. Magic folk following you around to the entrance but not actually going in until you clear it, who also provide goods and services like enchantments and potions and such at a discounted price for access to anything you find in the dungeon magic lore related. Etc. So you can do potion crafting, but you don't have to after a certain point. And so on and so forth. It also means that as you progress the game you don't overwhelm the player by having to deal with the minutiae of subsystems. It's there if you want to take advantage of it, but not necessary to complete the game. At least that's how we do it in tabletop land.

[@renegadeaustin2763]

The main reason Tears of the Kingdom popped off was because of the ability to put any two items together for nearly endless combinations of weapons. My major complaint with the game is that it isn’t dark enough, and I don’t mean literal darkness. I can look at this developer and already tell that this is a passion project including fishing and sword fighting. I’m sold, will support and will wish list. I just hope Emberville will have a really extensive and creative crafting system with many types of weapons including scythes and Crossbows, also many different boss fights. Looks good already though!

[@tyrous1743]

"popped off" has anyone really talked about Tears of the Kingdom after like 2 months of release?

[@bennybellum6037]

I think it popped off because of 1) It's a Zelda game and 2) BotW. I, for one, never played TotK because I really, really didn't like the weapon durability carried over from BotW AND this new system of just sticking various items together. It is simply something I personally wouldn't enjoy.

Taking him on in the producer role is actually really smart. Agile Scrum works best when you are showing sprint demos to a person playing the roll of customer/client. Keeps you focused on increments of progress, and focused on the parts that get people excited.

[@erkfx4154]

Not to mention all of the advertising they’ll get out of it. Which is fine because it’s a W for pretty much everyone that’s involved and anyone who’s into this type of game.

[@asmosisyup2557]

[@Kappacino]

hades was in early access for like 2 years, so was divinity, so was subnautica, so was BG3... the only reason it's only a couple years around at this point, is because they've already spent (I would assume) at least a year or two developing it already, based on how feature complete cohh says it is. good games takes YEARS

generally games are successful if they are good. the exception is when they arent found, which wont be the case for this game

[@JCGronewold]

I don’t understand why every RPG feels like it needs to have fishing as a main focus in the gameplay. It’s something I have never enjoyed, yet often I see huge emphasis on it, as if it’s some huge QoL feature being able to stand there quietly.

Nintendo will just forever try to appeal to 8 year olds, it's sad that they do with all of those IP and amazing stories, that would adapt so well into a more gruesome brutal kind of story.

Not sure if I'll be playing this yet. But Im really glad Asmongold is taking a look at it. There are soo many great indie RPG games that go under the radar these days and they need more attention from big Twitch streamers and KZbinrs. Its damn near all I play now and its the reason I don't get upset about the state of AAA gaming getting worse and worse. Cause the Indie scene is thriving and its amazing.

I see where the inspiration came from, but I think when there is Stardew Valley on the market since so many years, with such a huge community and when ConcernedApe is making a new game - Haunted Chocolatier, making a new farm-related game with a lot of the same solutions as in Stardew Valley isn’t a great idea. As a lover of such games I wouldn’t touch another one after Stardew Valley because I literally experienced everything there. The game feels special, magical and surprises a lot, while the game from video looks underdeveloped, same mechanics, cave, fishing, quests, not a lot of new ideas

[@bmnbl]

Knowing Cohh and his taste for video games im very excited for this game i just hope the dev team can keep up with his ideas xD wishing them all the best

[@LogoRR]

Unlocking QOL in game is fine. Obv how fun it is depends on what extent the early QOL is downgraded, but generally speaking its not a problem. Many asmon viewers will defend POE like their life depends on it and POE has QOL on the shop as microtransactions... having it unlockable in game is better.

[@arcc4]

It's not that hard to defend dude. It's a F2P game that has to make money and stash space/ premium tabs were the bulk of their revenue especially in the earlier years. Also, running a database storage and trade API is not an insignificant financial burden on GGG plus without a cost layer involving items/trade there would be nothing limiting the number of bots that people would make. So it's more than fair that this be something players purchase when they want to keep playing and need the QoL deeper into the game.

[@LogoRR]

@@arcc4 ofc it made them a lot of money. Make a problem, sell the solution. But that is not what is at question nor is whether a f2p game is allowed to make money.. Asmon asked if it was bad game design to gate QOL stuff, like having a minimap, behind story progression milestones like Cohh was mentioning implementing into his game. I generally dont think its a problem, esp compared to games that lock QOL behind microtransactions.

[@arcc4]

​@@LogoRR Except, you're not qualifying why in comparison its a problem and you're dodging the point I was making at the same time. You will have to buy Emberville. This in effect means you are paying for QoL features regardless of their design and implementation. How is that worst than paying for QoL locked behind MTX in a F2P game when both technically cost money? More importantly its not comparing similar things. Emberville will be single player where it perhapes makes more sense to integrate features/QoL as part of the story, characters, and progression. PoE does a lot of that too. It's the QoL/features related to being F2P, online, multiplayer, and having a game economy that are locked behind MTX.

[@Castle_Games]

about mikiri counter, it's not core mechanic in sekiro that's why there isn't that many main boss you can do mikiri counter on them. it's like a nice upgrade but you'd be fine with it. like the whole sekiro combat is revolve around deflecting attack

It's not that surprising when you consider that most big streamers have made careers working largely independently.

The game's concept seems interesting, and I'll be keeping an eye on it. I agree with Asmon about QoL. It would suck if it's one of those situations where, "Don't worry! It gets better after playing 20 hours!". If those things unlock rather quickly, that's fine, but if the devs put too high of a value on having those basic things, then the player's experience, and the game itself, will suffer.

[@StarlightSoda]

I don't get why Cohh is even announcing it so early. The game doesn't have a unique look or it's own identity yet. It looks very basic, which he basically said, since it's very early on. Like it's great to support something early from time to time, but this announcement felt like a miss.

He isn’t choosing to announce it early. I’m assuming that the team that created it decided to put the trailer out on steam to start generating hype for when they enter EA, so Cohh is putting a video out to help achieve that.

i dont think asmon remembers how windwaker ended lol. that was one of the most hardcore zelda endings

[@slamdunq3192]

he didnt say it wasnt hardcore, he just pointed out the mass reaction when it came out (which was true everyone thought it was zelda ABCs)

Programming is like a craft. You get better the more you code.

[@Sycoinc]

looks like every other 2d game thats released

[@bob77576]

I tend to find too much qol isnt great off the bat. when you get it gradually you understand whats happening and why the qol is helping you

[@manzell]

This is the new form of Celebrity Brand Deal. Yall plebes are getting a custom coupon code, Cohh gets a whole game.

[@zekonja90]

Looks like one of the games of all time.

[@SirBeard_]

Seeing people not want to play the game because it doesn’t appeal to them for one reason or another, totally get. But attacking Cohh personally or just being completely rude, I don’t understand Some of you are so miserable.

Who ever timed the ads has a sense of humor. "You know i wouldnt be involved in a game like this if it didnt have extensive..." ad plays

[@Learnonyoutube-o]

I think the idea behind it is to go back to the old days when people had to go to forums and search for helpful information to make daily game life easier. It's about something other than how to get the most potent weapon or armor set in the game or how to beat the field/ dungeon bosses. Indeed, the game wants to be explored ~

Grass texture should be 30% less busy on the eyes.

Asmon, don't let getting a C in programming class hold you back. I failed C++ in high school (health problems caused me to fall very behind when I was already having trouble keeping up in class), and I let that hold me back for over a decade. I'm an indie dev in progress now, and the only thing that'll hold you back is time & effort, not your personal limitations. There are plenty of resources to get you goin; give it a try!

CohhCarnage game looking good

[@ArthurVingot]

90% of the time the "community can say what they want in the game" it turns into a feature creep nightmare. Hope this doesn't happen here.

[@chyeaOGKush]

if they get it 4k with good lighting and clean visuals - the art style wouldnt bother me at all - its very pleasing to me

[@evilashxero]

He lost me with the procedurally generated aspect. What I like about games, especially 2D games, is the hand crafted dungeons and whatnot. But some people like stuff like this, like a Binding of Isaac kind of thing.

[@justpazzingby13]

You absolutely can miss the timing for Mikiri Counter on the Spear Monk miniboss in the dream area. In fact you can miss it all the way up to encountering a Seven Spears. I know this.. because I did this. Edit : You didn't need them either.. makes the fight easier sure, but it's not impossible.

[@user-bz1uf3cg9y]

Cohh doin cohh stuff, I hope it goes well. Asmon beard lookin kinda mighty

[@stepheninczech]

Fuck me...as an indie game dev, watching this guy talk is like the moment in Rick and Morty where Morty is pitching his heist movie idea to Netflix, realizing how derivative it is.

[@zenitsu-pwq]

„Emberville“ looks like „Adventures of Inarius“. - How he built the „Sanctuary“ before everything was fallen apart… - Release on consoles please?

[@tonykastaneda1]

Listening to the community is a great idea in concept and can make a games community feel like a community. The problem is you end up taking blue shells out of Mario kart and now all of a sudden the games not fun anymore

[@fargnbastage]

Added it to my wishlist. Can't wait.

[@crispy1691]

25 is a lot for a game like this, 10 or 15 would be much more reasonable.

[@rothgartheviking858]

I want Cohh to be successful . I will support it.
