[@narutofanatic2342]

Great video as always pan.

Yoooo, I voiced in This Magical Girl is a B. I've been watching this channel for years, so it means a lot that you checked out the visual novel. Thank you so much, pan. 26:55

@@reddawn1873 Yes, and the creator outted himself as a pdfile creep.

[@alyxgraff9121]

Same. The only thing worse than that "game" which has more in common with a scam is its creator. I've never seen someone who isn't a political commentary act with that much contempt towards actual constructive criticism before.

[@reddawn1873]

@@Mikedot Was he a talking to an underage person sexually?

[@ectofriend]

"I can't tell if God loves me, or he's too afraid to stop me." That is one of the hardest lines I have ever heard in my life and it was said by freaking Pan.

[@dyrr836]

That's called BARS

[@AdahnFlorence]

Sounds like something from Hunter S. Thompson lmao

[@tianipixel]

Hey! Developer of ABYSS X ZERO here! Thanks for the shout out! Working hard every day to make it the best game I can! ABYSS X ZERO is a sort of spiritual sequel to our previous game, UNSIGHTED, and shares a lot of similar themes and gameplay (although UNSIGHTED was 2D and topdown), if you're in the hype for the new game, try checking UNSIGHTED out while you wait! It's available on basically every platform!

[@Josuh]

unsighted my beloved

[@raventhorX]

Any way you can make a video tutorial on how to make graphics like what's shown in ABYSS x ZERO?

[@cringeonpurpose]

RebelTaxi yet again setting the standard for passionate content. I've been watching for a decade and your quality still gets better with each passing video.

[@MrMonkeyCommander]

Videos like this remind me that KZbin videos can be a unique art form of their own. Pan really has mastered his aesthetic

[@The8bitbeard]

What's this channel??? It's like positive high-energy gaming news reminiscent of the late 90s to early 00s wrapped up in a classic "Toonami" looking package. You have my attention.

Thanks! I like the funny timestamps Pan puts in (especially this one teasing the next video) but having an actual serious one is especially useful for a video like this.

OOOO Thanks I'll add it to the description

[@heyspellicup]

Its funny how so many people complain about how stale and boring games are nowadays while ONLY limiting themselves to the stale and boring mainstream games that come out annually.

[@JeffreyThrash]

To be fair, Steam and the Nintendo eShop are absolutely flooded with shovelware, so it's EXTREMELY important for videos like these to come out to dig through all that chaff, so we don't just waste money on shovelware to the point where we're turned off by the indie game industry, too.

[@doctordice2doctordice210]

@@JeffreyThrashI mean a lot of the time you can just… tell? That you’re looking at some garbage lol

[@heyspellicup]

@@doctordice2doctordice210 And even if you get a bad game, indie games are typically way cheaper than AAA, so even though you got burned for, say, 15-20 dollars, it's much MUCH less of a pain in the wallet compared to spending 70, 80, maybe even 100+ dollars on goldrn turds like Suicide Squad

[@catsorafgc]

I mean, there’s also the issue of trying to find games that appeal to you. A majority of games don’t appeal to me much for example

[@Exlayer-pk8hy]

Indies are pretty much the only place outside of Nintendo and sometimes Sega thats delivering what i want to see in a game nowadays so Indies are where its at

[@JordanSchorMusic]

Hey all, I'm the composer / producer of the soundtrack for Tricky Madness! Thanks for showcasing the game in this video, Early access is stated to launch soon and it's gonna be a great time!

[@aortaplatinum]

Pan I think your comparison of roguelikes to arcade game style structure changed my brain chemistry and opened up my interest to an entire genre I've just ignored and scoffed at before what the fuck did you do to me

[@DesTheMagicDog]

Gaming was never dead, It just came back from quitting their 24 hour day job and is now surviving through it all by the power of friendship and occasional drug use.

[@ringkunmori]

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

​@@degmcgee This was a beast of a video and he added a new person to help with it (meaning also waiting on the other person to do their parts). I completely understand the hiatus with a video like this and needing to gather all of the footage. If he goes back into slumber, that is fine. He's given us an amazing gift. Christmas is here early 😂

[@MrKinola]

If pan pizza is your role model, I'm sorry 😅

[@royalbandit8106]

It's funny seeing indie games progress like the mainstream industry. Like the best indies used to be all pixel nes type shit, but now we're in the indie PS1/Dreamcast era, baby!

[@puffleperson]

Kings of Hell is the Super Duper Sumos successor that fans have been waiting for.

[@Used__Napkin]

Hope this type of vid becomes a constant, so much dope shit being made “outside of the industry” with no coverage.

[@jurtheorc8117]

Any other lesser-known games that you'd love to see more coverage on? I personally want to see more mention of stuff like Cookie Cutter (which has a lot of plans for more content in the long term), Decline's Drops, Magenta Horizon, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Judero, Soulstice, The Midnight Walk, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Kraino Rebirth, The Dungeon Experience, Ruffy and the Riverside, Bad Boro... basically, there's a lot. All of it which can use being talked about more.

[@bobafett4265]

@@jurtheorc8117 true there isn't any shortage of dope games being made by Indies.

[@burrito9327]

Surprised there wasn't a mention of Your Only Move Is HUSTLE when talking about Mega Knockdown. It's also a turn based fighter, however it's not on real time, instead, each player picks there option (in which they are shown a small animation showing how it would theoretically play out) and once both pick one, the continue on until one's hp drops to zero. It then replays the fight at full speed showing the crazy combos that had just happened. Also, it has a workshop with costume characters. Anywho, my biggest picks from this vid are Kings of Hell, Aero GPX, Varvarion, One Shot Fighter, Fumes, Nightshift Galaxy, Project Turbo Blast and Geno Kids

[@GenokidsGame]

Thank you for the shotout at 33:43! This was such a good video, full of good games too, and cool indies. Thank you!

[@ASentientToaster]

Gaming is far more fun for me now than it has been in years. But that's less to do with the games themselves and more so the fact I have my depression and ADHD under control.

[@MustraOrdo]

I hope to get my ADHD under control when I get my official diagnosis (hopefully) soon. I suspect I have the inattentive version.

[@BugsyFoga]

TFW you realize the last upcoming strange colorful games vid came out half a decade ago.

[@sashimi9923]

11:09 This idea has almost been fully realized in a game called YOMI Hustle, it’s similar to MKD, but instead of hand drawn animation it’s more reminiscent of stick fight animations and it slaps. It also has workshop support

[@kosog6584]

Theres also toribash that came out on in 2006 and is still going strong to this day.

[@AaronG.]

Yomi Hustle fucking slaps I grinded that game like crazy when it came out and during the itch beta. Put like 300 hours into it lmao

[@andrewmirror4611]

Hustle also came after MKD, not to mention the original Yomi, Exceed, Battlecon, Toribash, Hitstun, and others

[@thejman5683]

15:39 Thank you for promoting Urbano Pan. The World Ends With You is one of my favorite games of all time, we got a sequel in 2021, but no one really bought it. I have been determined to want to bring back TWEWY in some form. Which is why I want to turn TWEWY into the next Earthbound. That game that not a lot of people bought but will have 50000 spiritual successors. Edit: So before anyone asks. No I am not the creator of Urbano. I’m just a backer for the Kickstarter. Edit 2: 47:27 AERO GPX LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO. Another game I’m a proud backer of, I miss F-Zero like everyone else on the planet. Glad someone didn’t let the flame die out

[@videogamerzero1schannel]

Which you're a real one for making the game an RPG Rhythm Game as that was what TWEWY was gonna be until they made it an action RPG! Which I hope more people will eventually give us so many spiritual successors to that series just like with Earthbound or Mega Man

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

Wait, YOU MADE URBANO?

[@thejman5683]

@@TheAnchorArmsChad nope, I’m just a Backer.

I was surprised to URBANO backers here! Thank you so much for the kind words! We're working hard to make the final game live up to expectations!

[@megam4n11]

I'm excited for Antonblast as it's the most wario land 4 out of all the wariolikes released recently, and Mortha, or as I like to call it "Ye Olde Rippeth and Teareth" is a mix of dark souls and classic fps fun!

Gee thanks, Pan, as if my Steam wishlist wasn't big enough...

With the amount of great indie games coming out nowadays it can feel like you're constantly passing potential new favorites like ships in the night.

[@jurtheorc8117]

If i may ask, what type of games are usually to your taste? i may be able to bring some more to your attention. Cookie Cutter for example is a personal favourite and has more planned in the future for the base game. And currently i'm looking forwards to the likes of My Familiar, while still trying to finish Decline's Drops and Act 1 of Magenta Horizon (2D action platformers, with Magenta Horizon in particular being quite high-octane).
