i added 17 machines to my game

[@malimore]

Crazy how this is devlog 3 and you still haven’t added bread into the game I’m starting to think they are holding the real shelfman hostage

[@TheShelfman]

Knew I had forgotten something. There goes my cover

[@flexispotnl]

Such a fun collaboration! Thank you😊🙌

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you too!

[@malimakes]

I actually love the solar panels. Can’t wait to hook them up to batteries and not have to worry about mining coal anymore

[@TheShelfman]

I gotta add that to my todo list for sure. Solar panels are definitely awesome

[@RobLang]

No bread machine? Go back and start again, Jordi. The machines look awesome, I will totally play this. My only constructive feedback is that the small icons are difficult to understand. I think the quarry and nature accelerator look like what they do but the collector doesn't feel like it collects anything. Looks like a big printer from the 1980s. This isn't so much of a problem if you binge a game but if you come back to it after a couple of weeks, it is definitely a barrier to picking up an old map. I find that with Satisfactory and Minecraft sometimes too. Keep it coming, Jordi, it looks fab and the scene of the desk rising with your arms staying the same length made me actually laugh.

[@TheShelfman]

You're right, I apologize. Bread machine it is. Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree and a bunch of the machines have a temporary look that during the big visual overhaul, will be taken care of. The collector I was thinking of making way more minimal. Like, mostly grey with a magnet in the middle? That could look nice. As for the others, some feel pretty similar, so I'd have to do something about that.

[@RobLang]

@@TheShelfman yes! That sort of thing!

[@AIAdev]

dude this looks so sick. If this game ends up with bread... I'm not buying it though.

[@TheShelfman]

@@AIAdev thanks! About that bread though...😅

[@icoso]

can you add a machine where you make bread? like a bread-making machine? a machine that eats flour and produces bread? like? a machine? like please i want bread? and then with the bread, we make pizza? a pizza machine? can you make a machine machine? a machine to make all the machines? thanks mr. shelf

[@icoso]

okay mali and rob already commented on the lack of bread machine, my bad, y'all

[@TheShelfman]

Clearly I have a few extra machines to add Or maybe I should just add a microwave and call it a day

[@ZEROxyx]

@@TheShelfmanjust add an electric oven I didn’t watch through the whole video yet so I don’t know if you did 😭

[@Skeffles]

Great devlog. there are so many machines! I really like the look of the pylons connecting to each other.

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you! It's funny you say that! I love that they connect for sure, but otherwise I'm not sure they're a great addition. I'll have to try out cables and see which are better 🤔

[@MichaelKocha]

Yo! The machines are awesome. And congrats on the dope desk.

[@TheShelfman]

@@MichaelKocha thank you so much! And yeah the desk is fantastic! Way better for my posture

[@Israel_BR23]

Wow, the game is looking pretty smooth, so polished, great job man.

[@TheShelfman]

Thanks!

[@valentineDev]

hephaestus is looking sick, love how it is much bigger than the player lol

[@TheShelfman]

@@valentineDev thanks! And yeah gotta show who's the god😂

[@zawdan606]

Really cool! I don't know what else to say, I just like what you added

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you!😁

[@LoggyTheLog]

I love the 8x8 art style due, it's so underrated. Also KZbin recognised your game below the description. 😅

[@TheShelfman]

Thanks! And wow, I had no idea. Previously I had to add it to a database, but I hadn't yet. Pretty cool!

[@TechC68]

Love your editing! Always looking forward to a new devlog

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it😁

[@Geeze]

This is shaping up to be the exact style of game I can get addicted to and sink in hundreds of hours a day

[@TheShelfman]

I appreciate that! Definitely hoping to be able to add in enough content that it feels like you can play it for that long😁

[@DesconGames]

Dude this is so cool! I love your devlog style!

[@TheShelfman]

Thanks so much!!

[@ZEROxyx]

I would say forager clone, but.. I’ll spare you this time, you’ve done well

[@TheShelfman]

Hahaha thank you!

[@malimakes]

I just noticed the little birds in the background. They are such a nice details

[@TheShelfman]

Thanks! Figured the sky was otherwise still a little empty with only the clouds haha

[@Allam-Dev]

3:19 instructions unclear. i ruined the machine and now it's not doing any action

[@TheShelfman]

Oh no. So it was rocket science after all?

[@Beets_Creations]

Nice progress!! keep up the good work!

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you!

[@MAC-_]

This honestly looks amazing!!

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you 😁

[@Chaliwad]

12:22 yeah definitely know that feeling when everything works 😅 btw... you should add bread

[@TheShelfman]

For sure. And I get the feeling that I should be adding bread🤔

[@GamesBySaul]

Excellent work! This looks great :D I can't wait to make an insane factory and shove it in Zeus' face! (I'm reading a book on the Greek Gods now actually, so I'm excited to see how the rest will tie in!)

[@TheShelfman]

@@GamesBySaul Thank you! What book are you reading? I got loads of plans for implementing the myths into the game😁

[@GamesBySaul]

@TheShelfman it's called Greek mythology : the gods, goddesses & heroes handbook And I can't wait to see how! 👀

[@Negreb25]

WOW, LOOKS GREAT!!!

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you!!

[@TillyCorbin]

i'm assuming the reason bread isn't in the game yet is because it's an end game item that allows you to overthrow zeus right?

[@TheShelfman]

Of course, why else😎

[@b3agz]

Where da bread dough?

[@TheShelfman]

Coming Soon™

[@SigmaKatLoaf]

i was waiting for a new vid! Yay!!

[@TheShelfman]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@natanmaia3575]

cool and dandy, but where are the nuclear reactors 👀 it would be interesting to see a future solar panel that fits another energy level by combining multiple solar panels and a few advanced materials.

[@TheShelfman]

Lmaooo maybe at some point! I like the idea of the advanced solar panel though!

[@aneskatzaev9152]

good progress my guy keep going

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you!

[@TeamBobbo6326]

I just noticed that youtube gave you an autogenerated category so thats cool

[@TheShelfman]

It really is!

[@gameboyatron1405]

we LOVE reusable code

[@TheShelfman]

@@gameboyatron1405 we really do It might be becoming an unhealthy obsession but that's beside the point

[@gameboyatron1405]

@TheShelfman I think the last time I worked on a project, I put more focus on that than the final outcome.. lol

[@BobbeDev]

this is so cool I love machines

[@TheShelfman]

Wow that's crazy, me too!

[@willnoyes7019]

Love this idea

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you! 😊

[@GlitchTrap12345]

It would be funny if/when you add Aphrodite she brought the player a girlfriend for a quest lol

[@TheShelfman]

lol that would be quite the feature😂

[@tayyang2265]

By the way! You should totes check out other factory gakes instead of just modded minecraft lolz X3

[@TheShelfman]

I have! I love factory games. Modded Minecraft is just the main inspiration for this devlog, but I'm taking lots of inspiration from other factory games😁

[@Tudvari]

Public playtest when?

[@TheShelfman]

I'm afraid that's still far in the future! But I'm looking forward to the day it happens 😁

[@IMakeGame]

looks sick. tho the machines might look a bit to simular, also i want to be able to make them pink. also also what are the birds doing in the background? i don't think thats how thay fly.

[@TheShelfman]

Thanks! The machines will definitely get changed throughout development as I agree that it's difficult to differentiate some of them. As for painting, I'm not sure. Not part of the plan for now. The birds are just temporary background sprites to give more of a feeling of the player being in the sky! I'm sure they'll change as well at some point😁

[@felipebatista7198]

Have you played Minecraft's Create Mod? It's a really good autamation mod =D

[@TheShelfman]

I only played like 5 minutes and got confused, but I should probably give it another shot since people have been recommending it a bunch!

[@felipebatista7198]

@@TheShelfman It's my favourite mod.😀

[@DoofusCentral]

What do you use for audio how is it that good with that mic?

[@TheShelfman]

It's just the lav mic + recording app on my phone. If the audio isn't good, I usually use Audacity to fix it up!

[@ptarmigamer8443]

View 1000. GOod job

[@TheShelfman]

Thank you!

[@wynyny]

I know you’re probably already planning on changing it, but the inconsistent pixel sizes look pretty bad.

[@TheShelfman]

@@wynyny what inconsistent pixel sizes? In the world, everything is the same I believe. And in the inventory, I don't mind. I used to, but then I realised that Stardew Valley does it as well so I stopped worrying haha Some UI stuff will definitely be fixed to feel more consistent though!😁

[@Lomen_IL]

Day 2 of asking can i test the game? Good work keep going

[@TheShelfman]

Thanks! And yeah you can! Through Patreon you can either get monthly updates, or at a higher tier you could technically just support me once for a Steam key😁 Otherwise there's a very early version available on itchio which doesn't get updated further

[@Kirblin101]

MAC DOWNLOAD PLS

[@TheShelfman]

I'm so far from release that I won't even dare to look into MAC releases, but maybe once it's out!
