oh and yes, i've become a spider myself after those many months o_O

[@calebgilbertyt]

@@icoso Well your still the same Icoso I knew when I was a wee lad, so spider, scorpion, lizard, gremlin, whatever you are, my hats off goes to you. (oh and thank you for including me in the icoso quizathon, I feel very honoured!)

Please make a tutorial how to escape them they gave me a charger and a phone but they are scary and giant

[@SuperStarStudiosPlush]

If I had a nickel for every video game development KZbin channel that has returned after a nearly year-long break in this month, I’d have two nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

​@@icosoAhhh... now I get it. He has you hostage until you let him make a devlog himself, as promised. But he has loosened your restrictions a bit.

[@CrabGuyy]

Absolutely love the random ash comedy in the video, every joke landed for me, and the game feels really polished even tho there are like 3 color in each. Btw in italian Viole is plural for Violet (like the flower)

[@icoso]

I'm glad to hear that, thank you for the nice comment!! 😅 I'm like 1/958302985936th Italian so that is EPIC

[@danuvip]

Ayyy, cheers! I had tonnes of fun editing this one :)

[@DiamondDev45]

Glad you're back Icoso, honestly am. Your videos are always amazing and it's so fun to watch them. I'm so excited to finally be able to play Minima. Seeing your journey from a while back to now has been so incredible and I cant wait to see where you go from here. I'm glad I've stuck around until now :D

[@icoso]

much thank

[@GamesBySaul]

Sensational, glad to see you're back, Minima is looking greata than eva! I think the leaderboards for the levels is a very nice idea, especially for this type of game where people probably will get quite competitive!

[@icoso]

Thank you so much, Saul! Always great to have your support, and I'm hoping I can cultivate a small competitive scene for the game ^^

[@tonylovesmusic6806]

6:21 favorite moment :))) "because we *live in a SOCIETY* "

[@icoso]

I agree 👏

[@bbomb11]

Woooo!!! Minima devlog time! I’m so glad that you’ve been doing well, and I hope you’ve been having fun working on minima :) it’s been such a fun journey to watch you and minima grow, and now you’ve become a big brained neuroscience major, which is very cool 😎

[@icoso]

Thank you so much, bbomb! You've been around for the Minima journey for a long time, haha, I appreciate it!

[@TREALGDC]

a new idea to the game: a kind of enemy that moves across like a goomba and you can hit it with an attack button which you can grab and put on stuff like buttons.

[@icoso]

Oh like galoombas from Super Mario World? That could be fun! Will have to find some way to minima-lise it somehow :P

[@TREALGDC]

@@icoso yea! if you could put it into the game i would really appreciate it!

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

You could make it a white circle, to signify that it has complexity like the player

[@aleksp8768]

Nice! Glad to see you're back

[@icoso]

Thank you! :D

[@davidpersson1147]

Nice video! One thing you could experiment with if you want to make the player character feel more juicy is adding a skew to the player in addition to the squish, so that when the player moves in a direction it gets skewed in the direction of movement. Makes movement feel a lot more satisfying imo!

[@icoso]

Oooh yes, I think that's what was missing! I'll do some tests and hopefully share it in a future video, thanks for the idea ^^

[@JustYourLocalHumanAnimator]

I started watching your channel with a classmate at school around a year ago, watching Mario but it’s awful, since we both enjoyed watching devlogs. I’m really glad you’re back, because you were one of my favorite game devs to watch

[@icoso]

This is a really nice and wholesome message, thank you for sharing! I remember watching game dev videos with friends in highschool, too, good times :)

[@AzureOtter]

YEAH HE'S BACK! welcome back dude, i hope you're doing awesome :D

[@icoso]

Woooo! Thanku for the kind words, happy to be working on stuff again ^^

[@Skeffles]

Fantastic to see you return to minima. Sounds like you've got a great plan. Good luck with it (and university)!

[@icoso]

Thank you so much, Skeffles! Always great to hear from ya :) University's been going pretty well, I'm surprised by how little tech courses I chose to take, but I'm enjoying it nevertheless ^^

[@giorgiomanciniXV]

5:57 if I watched this before my science test I would have been able to solve a problem(I didn't remember the gravitation constant)

[@icoso]

I'm always sure to bring the educational content

[@DylanMatthewTurner]

You should make the character sprite do a little flip or 2 when it bounces on a bounce pad, so it looks different than jumping. I think that would feel really good

[@icoso]

That would be a really fun addition! I'll try it out :>

[@TheShelfman]

Apple juiceeeeee Thanks for inviting me to the quiz. Still think I shoulve won😤 "aligning video elements to composition" made me laugh out loud btw lol
