Looks like exactly my sort of game! And of course, it's always nice to meet other women doing this gamedev thing, honestly no idea how I'm just stumbling across your channel now. Subscribed and will be keeping an eye out for the demo! I hope you're feeling fully better now, take care of yourself

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks so much for the sub! I also love meeting other women in game dev 😊

[@HotNogginStudios]

I love this video style! I love how you planned out your levels. It's a tricky thing to do for a puzzle game!

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 😁

[@HotNogginStudios]

@@PastelPixelsDev You've made it easy ;)

[@DesignFrameCaseStudies]

You're brave for making a game without a mouse 😅 It's great to see you making progress and to see your game systems in place. I just started learning Godot myself. Long journey ahead lol. I pray you feel better.

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thank you! 😁

[@DesignFrameCaseStudies]

@@PastelPixelsDev I forgot to mention. If you want a fellow designer playtest / feedback / second pair of eyes on this or future projects, feel free to reach out. God bless.

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Good to know! I'll definitely have a way to provide feedback on the demo, and I might put together a beta test for the full game in a few months :)

[@godril90]

This is cool, best of luck! I'll follow the progress

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks! :)

[@flopper8727]

You got some nice stickers on your laptop

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Perfect start to my Saturday

[@PastelPixelsDev]

😊

[@rebekahmarinos2260]

Yes! I did it! Finally finished binging all your videos 😂 was interesting to see your whole journey this past year. Excited for you to finish your game and see how work on your cat game goes.

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks so much for watching!! 😁

I'm not a gamedesigner, and I don't want to give advice - but some observations. Maybe it's because it's a video and not the actual game, but I felt that mechanics were introduced a bit too fast. That may differ in the game, but I'm the type of player who prefers to play a bit with each mechanic before the next one. Maybe one more level for every mechanic, just to get used to it. One more thing, I initially got confused on which tower means what in the final level. Maybe if you could make each type of tower (starting tower, ending tower and special tower) differ not only in color, but maybe in shape as well, it would make the game more readable at a glance? But maybe it's just me. Anyways, a great video and a nice-looking game! Wish you the best of luck.

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks for the feedback!! I'll make sure to make the different towers easier to tell apart :)

[@hey.anasbayu]

the game looks nice. Added to whislist, Keep up the good work! :)

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks so much!!

[@thenamelessdev]

This looks great!

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks! :)

[@Entikai]

You should definitely appear on camera more often in your videos. I can't wait to try the demo once it's out! I'm hoping to get back into game dev again myself, I haven't done it in a while because of work stuff.

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks so much! I'm glad I finally made the change to this new video style 😊

[@Michael-The-Composer]

Hi there, I'm Michael. Just stumbled across this video in my recommended. I have to say I really like how polished this game is looking, and I love the idea of escorting or guiding messages to their destination, very original. I like the AI character too. I was looking on your Twitter and I saw the post with all its different facial expressions, and I like how there's a wide variety of them. Your puzzle design is smart as well. I don't normally like puzzle games that much but I think I'd enjoy this one. When I saw the bridge mechanic, and I saw the message crossing over the other message's path, it felt like satisfying puzzle design. Simple, but effective. SELF-PROMOTION TIME: If you're looking for music for this game, or any other game, I'm a video game composer. If you're interested, I'd love to chat! I'd love to be involved in a project as polished as this one!

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Thanks for the kind words and the offer! I'm doing the music myself, though :)

[@Michael-The-Composer]

Oh, cool! Love a multi-talented gamedev!@@PastelPixelsDev

[@yourgeekeric]

I'm new to the channel but are you using Manjaro KDE edition as your desktop?

[@PastelPixelsDev]

Yes :)

[@user-nj4pc8kv2w]

好可爱的猫猫

[@Blaz_Plaz]

how much will it cost?

[@PastelPixelsDev]

The demo will be free and the full game will be around $10 :)

[@zeldinus]

What happened to the cat game? :(

[@ThatGamePerson]

🗑 (I don't actually know, but am game dev so I know how it goes! :D )

[@PastelPixelsDev]

I'm planning on returning to it after Unread Messages is released! 😁
