[@InnerEagle]

To beat gambling addiction, become who creates the addiction, you become a slot machine

[@deb2281]

Mm yes gamble

[@realdoctorleaf]

This is a really cool update! I was thinking, what if you made the casino wheels spin a bit faster and make them appear one by one to give it more of a near miss feel.

[@greeperteddo1784]

I was thinking the same thing

Great video, honestly I would have the hats drop straight after battle. You could make a hat rack in the house so its like a trophy case when the player isnt wearing them, it shows off their accomplishments and is a reward.

[@329link]

There's two things that I will always love in a game for no explainable reason: caves behind waterfalls and gambling. I have absolutely no idea why, but those are always a plus in my book. Bonus points if the gambling is more than just a slot machine with no player interaction.

[@RKIOrbMage]

This devlog was super entertaining, I love all the features you added! personally I really like the wizard skin :D

[@BenBonk]

Thanks! Glad you like em

[@KingKhiGaming]

Have a great day

[@BenBonk]

Thanks, you too

[@harroldhudson9342]

Thanks man you don’t have a good one have the best one possible

[@mendaciousphooka]

Maybe you can make a slime with a mushroom on its head that sends out spores to slow you down

[@Zyodl]

for the slimejack game, i think it would be cool if the ai would take more of a risk as it goes second, for example, if you have an 18 and the ai goes and gets a 17, it would stop and you would win by the current logic, but you could implement a feature where if the value of the ai's cards is over 16, but still under the player's value, then if would keep flipping cards untill it went over the players score, or lost. maybe you could only implement this feature for larger bets, therefore increasing the risk even more? just an idea. loving the game so far

[@takrak]

I think it's more important to make a fun game than a big game, so I think it's good that you're adding smaller more interesting things like the Casino.

[@connorious455]

The game is looking really cool. But one addition I think would be good is having a boss that appears if you win too much in the casino.

[@minioli4432]

Imo there should be a lever on the left in the screen that pops up when you interact with the slot machine and then the animation would begin when you pull the lever. It would make the machine even more satisfying and fun to use. Just a little thing that you could add, the casino looks awesome even without it!

[@bl4ckk]

i'll have a fun time gambl- playing definitely legal games for a small chance to win coins :)

[@devkumo]

YO! I've been following your content since the beginning and I love all the progress you're making Ben. Keep up the fantastic work my man, much love ✌️

[@princeoftara7091]

Oh oh oh! I just cant wait to play!

[@lachlananderson872]

I commented this on the last video but no one really saw it so I’ll try again here. I think that when the slime pet goes through doors, like a 7:46, it looks really weird because it looks like they jump under the door which just looks wrong in my opinion. Instead you could make a cat flap thing in the door for them to go through or have them jump over the door with a special animation because at the moment I think it really just looks really odd. Other than that the game looks really cool. Also speaking of the slime pet could they maybe get skins as well? Maybe a little cape or something?

[@xrather7735]

Finally done with binge-watching the slimekeep-series!

[@AstalWuzHere]

This is the first time actually listened to the sponsorship! Milanote is kinda epic!

[@BenBonk]

Yooo nice

[@SmolShorkess]

I think a king card would be cool for the slimejack game as a rare but either a big win or big lose card

[@LandonLikeStuff]

I can’t belabor we have yet to see… slime hats. Tsk tsk tsk… I wanted to see a tiny slime king hat on the pet 😭

[@ThefifthBishopofGord]

@@cheeseballpete8944 who?

[@Zacito]

for the boss-related hats, you can make them unlock if you beat the respective boss without taking dmg. the other skins (and future ones) could be unlocked for just completing other tasks such as getting a high roll on the lottery or beating the final boss.

[@InnerEagle]

Him: Makes a casino room Gambling addicted: Stays in that room instead of finishing the game You just gave me the idea I needed to do something I wanted to do to learn a thing

[@modley_the_m_guy]

I recomend you change the pivot points of those targets and memory thingies to the bottom so that the appear animation will look better! What you could also do is use a shader and make it so that they appear from the ground (you change the sprite moves higher up (leaving the ground), and a part of the sprite is under a defined position that part gets hidden (I hope you understand what I mean xD))

[@jerichotrombone]

Why the blackjack dealers desk look like a frog 😂😂😂😂😂

[@aquatik8687]

There should be a rare room that can spawn as part of the random room generation that has no slimes, but has some flowers in colours other than blue. It would be a cool special room where you see something other than green.

[@poupeuu]

Lovely now i can fuel both my gaming and gambling addiction

[@xmimagma4630]

Hey, just an idea: You should make it so that after the player has won a certain amount more than they've lost, the casino kicks them out so that people can't get super lucky and ruin game progression.

[@BIG_D26]

I know personally I would farm this for millions

Hey BenBonk! You are a really cool game dev! I just found your channel today and have already watched so many videos! I am thinking about doing game dev on 2D Unity games. Any tips?

[@KNKNHT]

2:35, had us fooled in the first half not going to lie

[@hey9085]

For the slots you should have a delay in when the sepererate reels start and stop spinning and for when they stop let them bob a little i feel itll give a more authentic slot feel. Not needed but just a suggestion

[@dex.16]

i love when gambling gets implemented into video games

[@MaxSutton]

hey! i love this series, and had an idea. So here it is: what if you made it possible for people to add their own skins with animations? this could come later but i still think it would be really cool and you should look into it.

[@palomamenezes4243]

Good Job! Benbonk now steam Will call your game not for kids

[@luigidabro]

I love the tophat skin!

[@IvanPaganBenitez]

If you add any more bosses then you should make a bigger boss like a slime lord or you could add a demon slime dimension if you last for long enough but these are just suggestions ❤love❤ your vids lol!!

[@hadrian922]

i would recommend making the explosions "puncher" they kinda look like just a little "poof" of fire.

[@realbengame]

wow.. your game gives me nostagia from undertale! it looks amazing!

[@BlueEagle669]

The best idea for any game in 2023 is to add casino mechanics... everyone should do it :) ...oh, wait...

[@kxthryna_roblox]

Cool update! Dunno if you did this, but you should make it if you can’t afford to pay the money, you go into debt

[@KingKhiGaming]

Fighting slimes, no now we gamble

[@Vieislost]

Devtip: I've stopped counting. Personality Is a key factor to games. Don't get me wrong this game has tons of great personality, and I love the GB design but there nothing to get really attached to in this game. I know Enter the gungeon is like the golden standard of the Roguelike industry, But I'm gonna use it here anyways. In ETG Every Character has a motive, backstories, something to get you really invested and not to bash anything here a simple story can work well with certain scenarios, but the only motive is a more generic save your kingdom here. Even something as simple as a sidequest can help with a game. Also you made me want to open up my old DS and gamble with luigi, DARN IT

[@BenBonk]

Yeah good point, I really want to make sure to try to make the backstory feel somewhat meaningful

[@puffaphish]

The dealer looks like it has a skull for a head which kinda makes it look like you gambling with death himself making it look even riskier.

[@BenBonk]

monkaW

[@realbrickbread]

It would be cool to be able to play chess in the casino, with all the pieces being replaced by slimes! I know, chess isn't gambling but I'd love to see that.

[@KiewieGames]

Really cool! Maybe you could add some animations for when the cards in the casino are turned over, they look kinda lame right now. Skins could maybe be unlocked by finding wardrobes randomly scattered around the world or something… just some suggestions

[@blooper_kingpin]

If you have different skins how does it work at the end of the game when it becomes full colour and what about the ending "cutscene".

[@Phon-YT]

Its funny how oddonesout posted a vid on gambling

[@Unpug]

This was a cool one

[@samiboi55]

Pretty cool update! Btw, what's your favourite rougelike?

[@BenBonk]

Thanks! It's gotta be Enter the Gungeon for me.

[@nove1398]

The slot machine is really cool

[@origamingmagic3571]

I guess gambling was such a good Slimekeep feature that they added it to real life!

[@CodyIsDumb]

I think it would look good for the interact system if you had a square looking UI that the interact button would be in for example if you interact with your bed, but when you get farther from the bed the E symbol would simply disappear

[@BenBonk]

Yup, I definitely agree. If I get around to it, I would like to rework that bit of the UI a bit.

[@CodyIsDumb]

@@BenBonk yeah well what you want to do with your game is completely your choice.

[@RSKG]

After adding the casino ben bonk can already smell my wallet i hope there aren't some 1 in 4000 ods 💀💀💀

[@BenBonk]

Hehe

[@jams_toast1]

I think it would be cool if the first spin on the machine in each room was actually more likely to win, maybe like first spin is profitable on average, second spin equal, every spin after unprofitable.

[@saywaIIah]

Slimekeep is the best game

[@alphaeng5926]

Wooo gambling

[@SandwichConsumer]

I love gambling :D !

[@dolphinman9802]

Amazing! Maybe you should add some new color schemes - for people who are turned off by the solid green, maybe give the option to change the color of the UI, background, level, and enemies seperately for more customisation

[@DylanDoesStuff1]

He did that already

[@goodpoint4017]

Roulette odds are favouring the house because of the number 0. You can bet on 0, but it is neither considered an even or odd number. No need to fiddle with the payout ratio.

I was thinking while watching this. at the end where you do the skins. couldn't you over lay the skins and if the skin changes the player model you could then make new sprites. if you know what mean.

The casino looks great and all the games look fun. Do you expect most players to spend a lot of time there?

Thanks! And not really, they might spend 5-10 minutes tops there per run. It’s more just meant to be a small and fun break from the game and not anything major.
