I'm making the game I've always wanted

[@rmdcompositions]

Watt doesn't want me to reveal this, but he is actually a bunch of goblins in a trench coat, which is how he is able to make this much progress in such a short amount of time.

[@echo_the_developer]

Actually - sometimes he doesn't even use a trenchcoat on his live streams- real goblins have seen this

[@MoonLmao]

holy shit

[@luxsolis95]

I KNEW IT

[@pamcakenjoyer]

SHHH DON"T LET THEM KNOW

[@TobiasSample]

He also seems to know way too much about goblins. Watt, you’ve been sussed!

[@SeenyBoyyy]

Imagine a multiplayer feature where you and your goblin friends can unite in a musical band. Maybe there’s a way to synchronize/harmonize with one another while staying on beat, the more cohesive you are the more damage you do. However I don’t know if that would mean they would canonically be playing worse or better if their music is so bad that it’s physically damaging.

[@RyanIsHoping]

Dissonance is only possible when multiple sounds are played at once. The "Devil's Chord" comes to mind. So you could still reward playing in sync with more damage, under the understanding that the notes played sound extremely painful together 😂

[@hellsguardillidan]

I think new world does this

[@errons1]

Core keepers have this feature! Check it out for inspiration!

[@doramy9689]

40-45 hours a week for a hobby is an impressive level of dedication. spread the game among all my friends. goblins shall prevail

[@Taejiu]

I have this wish listed I'm literally so excited!

[@Azorthorm]

It's truly insane how much is in this one devlog. Huge feature additions with explosives/cogs/instruments, lots of content with the new NPCs/locations, and so much quality of life polish like the double doors/controls. You're really knocking it out of the park, Watt!

[@verygood9730]

You've done more work on this game than work I have done in my entire life while you are also a full time electrical engineer. Very inspirational.

[@timtam713]

Wow. This is amazing. The effort you put in is amazing. Btw, I heard "music weapons" and immediately thought a tuba type weapon that blasts notes in a wave in front of you would be cool. Or something similar. Great job, Watt.

[@GrinPaint]

Watt…. What are you doing watt… you’re creating the worlds greatest game SOLO?!?! I mean this is outrageous! You are much too impressive for us and must leave. PS. Big fan and merry Christmas

[@JEiiOTIME]

I loved the quality of life section. I think a lot can be said for games that have all of the little things like quick stacking to nearby chests. Enhances the gameplay so much more than you think! Cannot WAIT to play this.

[@jeremiahrosa1329]

I think it’s real cool that you read all the comments on your videos, only seen one other guy doing it, and you both are amazing game developers/ KZbinrs. Def gonna consider the patreon sometime soon

[@jeremiahrosa1329]

Wow, that was fast

[@Flynn520]

Begging for the 'bard' role to be unique by having every/ most wepons to be completely diffrent. Like a triangle instrument could be one massive attack with a long reload, like a shotgun, while an amped electric guitar is like an smg where it just becomes guitar hero!!! +++ I *need* a lineup of multiple band outfits, like a rockstar, a classical pianist and a helmet that's just a bunch of hair over your body!! These could even effect your efficiency in each 'sub class' of instruments!!!! Btw, if you can't tell I rly want to make a goblin band with my friends

[@RobinClower]

War drums are AOE shockwaves out from your character that damage and push back enemies with a DK drum track at the bottom of the screen, the more consistent you are with timing the more damage and distance your shockwave travels

[@RobinClower]

I feel like bagpipes would be a great fit for goblins. A triple shot aiming behind you?

[@echo_the_developer]

Real ones watched the devlog animations on stream

[@auggief5978]

Ah yes, the Trumpet-47 truly a great blend between firepower and annoying your neighbors

[@SlimeShisho]

Hell yea No scoping slimes with a fiddle is an interesting concept

[@Crocodile373]

You spend more time on your hobby than I do in my work week and I tell myself I don't have any spare time to devote to creative hobbies because "I work and look after my two children" Either you're a machine of pure human will (amazing effort btw) or I'm way lazier than I think. Keep up the work, I've been following for about a year and will be picking the game up when I can. Good job man!

[@theburningphantom1]

As an engineer learning game dev on the side, this is real inspiring to see how much progress you’re able to make

[@anselmeleterme2206]

dont burn ur self take the time for u and to do it right dont rush it... and huge love on ure work u already made a lot

[@edemaiscomtheovieira2718]

Hey Matt, thanks for always making my days better with your videos!

[@SpiralLikesPC]

Banger as usual

[@ferdowsansari]

this is so cool i hope it blows up becuase this is a great concept and great game

[@SnakeCatGod]

Thank you for not only making a game but sharing your journey with making it. You are genuinely an inspiration

[@steam-punk7000]

Thanks for the steam deck support! I’m hoping to get one as my first step into the PC gaming world and I’ve had your game wishlisted for a few videos-time now. It’s awesome to see official support for the console now and I’m super keen to play your game whenever you are able to release it into the world!

[@SmarkiStudios]

progress looks great, the hollow knight helment rock's (not sure if its intentional) and im glad to see the game is coming along good luck brother

[@placeholderdoe]

Can’t wait for someone to make a working computer in Isle Goblin

[@Agentt271]

I like this game! I will jump to buy it just on time when it releases. Keep up good work!

[@MyNameIsArg]

Yes!!!!!!!! I love hearing about thr games updates!

[@luxsolis95]

I’ve been telling as many people as I can about this game. It looks so fun and full of passion. I can’t wait to play it, but also take your time and don’t stress yourself out, or humans will invade your house and attack all your friends.

[@insertoriginalnamehere4173]

Been following your devlogs for quite some time now but for a while I haven't remembered to check up on them. Just now you popped into my recommended and I was in awe as to how far you've developed the game. Keep up the good work Watt!

[@benrex7775]

As an electrical engineer who likes gamedev I'm just as interested in your particle spinner. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="294">4:54</a> I like that drawing. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="335">5:35</a> Listen I have a brilliant idea. The music spreads out in waves and bounces back on walls. And that way you can make waves add up to each other and create standing waves and the higher the wave, the more damage it deals. This is a perfect mechanic for an electrical engineer to think of and has no downsides at all. It can even curve the space-time (aka it is laggy).

[@brozejn]

Juggling (and keeping) a job whilst putting 40-45 hours(?!) a week into this project is incredibly impressive. But also necessary, I think you have great momentum towards success here. Keep up the great update videos and progress and I believe it will do great on release :) I wish you all the good fortune!

[@SQUID_KID102]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="490">8:10</a> thank you for adding linux compatability

[@rex7wolf]

great to see how the game is turning out, ik my friends who love logic stuff will love the new cog stuff

[@dogfromotgw]

one thing i think would be cool would be to handcraft a plethora of natural areas. the idea is that when youre wandering through an otherwise random map, you occasionally come across a beautiful spring or unusual rock formation. in my opinion, this would add some nice variety and give some POIs that arent structures additionally, i think making the handcrafted areas only subtly different from usual world generation, as well as making them fairly rare, would add to the immersion

[@walterjehghansen]

thank you for adding steam deck support (no pipe bomb for you😊)

[@WattDesigns]

Yippee!

[@jacobl2222]

Dang, what, this looks amazing, I can't believe this just randomly came across my YT recommends. Wishlisted! And I can already guarantee that I'll be grabbing this when it comes out.

[@onion_little]

I've been following the making of this game for almost a year and it's been an amazing journey. You're doing fantastic and the game is looking more and more polished, to the point I can't believe this was created through the effort and vision of just one person. Just wow. Truly can't wait to play it!

[@Clementimetwdg]

thank you playlist updated for helping me find this gem

[@gxryisdead]

very excited for this game! I love seeing the progress, congrats at almost 40K wishlists!

[@phendan]

Amazing work! Seeing devlogs like yours gets me motivated to invest more time into my own side projects, so thank you!

[@enterthearcade]

One thing I really like is the zoomed out perspective, compared to other similar games. I like seeing more of the map, especially one like this that is so populated with interesting things.

[@DevOfRandomness]

This game seems so cool 👍 I’m excited for it! 😃

[@pamcakenjoyer]

great video as always :)

[@signalised9540]

I usually dont comment, but this game just excites me so much that i couldnt help it. Best of luck and looking forward to release!

[@cammacthecammac8142]

Incredible stuff! Love to see the ability to be creative with the different logic gates and tech!

[@Will-xi2nl]

I love the goblin arts you interspersed the video with--- they add a LOT of character and have made me huff out a laugh a few times. Very nice.

[@justajazzyleaf]

So excited! :)

[@Sr.Leches]

I love your vids man, and I love tuning in to your streams and see how the game is turning out.

[@nicolo.lazzaro]

Incredible work. You are truly inspirational. Thanks for the updates!

[@WeBlanchin]

Take your time, you're absolutely cooking with this. If you added automation/tech elements I would implode with ecstatic joy though

[@samburgess7924]

Watched the slow progress, I don't follow directly so seeing a video come out always brings joy, looks awesome.

[@psychotic4560]

How.. the amount of stuff you've added is mindboggling! You must be reaching mastery levels of coding! This is just wild!

[@nicolasgrainger7489]

Duuuuuuuuude, you're awesome. So inspirational. Love the passion, please take care of yourself and don't burn out, we need you to continue haha

[@Teban100]

The mechanics that the music weapons utilize are fantastic and seem like they will have quite the depth of gameplay, I'm excited.

[@ayybe7894]

Another solid progress update. Keep up the goblin mode

[@geraldwheatly1824]

AaaaaAaaAa I'm so excited for this game!!!! (Congrats on the Turing complete game btw)

[@L3kl1ng]

IM SO EXCITED, this game is going to be my top played on steam when it releases i love the additions you have added

[@Codethe_Road]

I was getting impatient with the progress on this game for a while there; but now that it is really starting to blossom--- the features are getting crazy! Amazing!

[@TheMybrick]

I love the videos and wait for the release. This is 100% a game that i play with my friends. I am excited for the next Update but want to say please don't rush things and take your time! From a future Goblin :)

[@VinciWare]

it's looking really great!

[@brandondelahoussaye8323]

Dude.. so impressive. Really enjoy watching your journey.

[@BusinessWolf1]

I can feel it. If you stick this one out no matter what it will blow.

[@quinnlucas6858]

Hey man, mechanical engineering student who also dabbles in gamedev. Its actually really inefficient to transmit force using series of gears like that. Id recommend having gears to change directions and shafts for any of the straight bits. You could make it automatic or the player has to place the two pieces manually, either could work. Id recommend looking at Timberborn power transfer, they do a similar thing. It physically hurts me to see that many gears in series haha. Love the series and love the game so far!

[@cathaltierney8850]

Goblins are nothing if not inefficient so I feel like many many gears is perfect

[@julessayshi1]

Can't wait for this to come out! The streams are also super fun so I just love all of your channel! 😊😊

[@ijxbs9123]

Dude I discovered your channel recently and am immediately invested! I am also a spare time game developer! Best of luck on your journey my friend.

[@umbertorodrigez8213]

You’re such an inspiration to me. I graduate in 24 days and I’m so excited to get the chance to do some game dev again!

[@dr.mnbvcxy]

I am really looking forward for your game, keep up the good work.

[@RaziFane]

i am so excited for the release. keep up the good work!

[@onlysmiles4949]

The "quick stack to nearby chests" feature is so good, more games should do that

[@spiderspyy]

As a fellow gamedev, very ambitious but soo much personality oozes from just this video and the game! Great work!

[@frostymug9750]

That music weapon gimmick is actually really cool. Gives an extra layer to combat to promote replay-ability for veteran players.

[@bananapeelonhead]

You have a really cool and special game in the making!

[@forreview6878]

It's a travesty that it's only got 39k wishlists. The game looks incredible! I enjoy your update videos 😊

[@olpacheco]

Dude, the quick stack to all chests is AMAZING No idea why more game dont do this

[@revyera]

Dude I literally binged all your videos today. What are the odds you would upload today 😂😍

[@Besnardm]

Your hard work is inspiring 😊

[@hilmikapukaya2749]

i like this guy a lot hes just doing honest work and its cool af keep going man

[@Fabricio1515]

It's crazy that you can make a game of such quality being part time dev, you are very inspiring ❤

[@HellayToo]

That's amazing ,I love your game.Keep going!

[@aliceholway]

this game is looking amazing! ur progress is rly inspiring :)

[@Anonymous-fy7zw]

Might be a cool idea to add drums to the game that do a sort of shockwave effect around the player

[@finebowgames]

the music thing is very creative! loved it.

[@rodrigomacedosjr]

amazing!!! wow you are progressing so well and so quickly cant wait for the game to come out!! linux support is also super cool! congrats man hope u keep up the good work

[@JMACBKK]

i think that something that would help keep the game interesting is having like small-middle sized islands with outposts of humans where there is loot, or even new species of goblin. and with the new option of water travel there are stuff that could be added like sharks that attack you, dolphins that maybe lead you to some treasure, and hell even like a new big island expansion

[@munchycheeseburger]

this reminds me alot of core keeper. I mean that as a complement. theres also so many unique ideas here. looks rlly good!

[@ConBomb]

Congrats on the progress! I'm really impressed by your dedication. Anyways, Now you can continue on with your lunch break.

[@pokepoke1889]

I love this So Much personality in the game and in your video!!!! Definitely glad I wishlisted

[@do_it_like_rei]

I actually love your game concept sm 😭❤ it’s about time goblins got some love. I’ve been contemplating how to implement a goblin community in my game, I think they’re an under appreciated race 🔥

[@MasbaWorld]

Watt... I've been watching you since your first devlog (the hand drawing scenes caught me eyes, they are a nice touch) :D I usually don't comment on KZbin videos or anything haha, but man the game looks so good, and the way you look for fresh ideas for new features is really inspiring. I`ve been waiting patiently and Watt-ching how the game comes along. I'll definitely play it and upload to my KZbin channel, so more people get to know about this piece of art. Sorry for my bad English, my main language is Spanish. Btw... Please release it in Spanish, I have no problems playing it in English, but many people would love to have it in Spanish. Greetings from DR! :D

[@tijngeurts626]

Randomly stumbled on this game in my KZbin recommendations, and I am SO excited to play the shit out of this when it comes out.

[@KarlMcAllister-jk8qi]

I think it would be funny if the goblins hold the instruments wrong. Ex: holding the guitar upside down

[@danielroids]

The whole musical weapons system makes me want goblin wizards!🤩

[@themadgrimis]

Every time i watch ur videos i get more excited for ur game

[@joshrll9195]

Just added to my steam wishlist. Can't wait for the release.

[@stray1239]

Watt: *casually mentions building a particle accelerator Also Watt: I added... ChIlDrEn

[@Dias-jm7os]

You should add in Kobold villages in the underground, where they can trade and sell stuff to you and also give you a few quests, to shake things up you could also add in hostile dwarves that patrol the caverns near their settlements to kill or capture intruders.

[@DecoyZ]

This game is one of my main inspirations to think I can make it as a game dev

[@eleanors4876]

I love the game!!!!! I think it would be cool if instead of die the flowers made powder bombs(to distract while you run away) or pollen to attract bees that attack for you :)

[@harvinater3]

This game looks amazing i love these types of games and yours has such a great vibe , one thing great feature ive seen in i think fea farm was while your at your base you can craft and it automatically gets if from your chests so you dont have to run back and forth (ive already wishlisted but i would log on to my wifes steam and wishlist again if you added this feature)

[@MartianDill]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="461">7:41</a> i already wishlisted and joined discord, so now i'm waiting when you'll announce the start of work on localisations so i could help

[@TobiasSample]

I really like the idea of how the music weapons work, it’s a bit like guitar hero but it’s a weapon. Nice idea!
