[@DarthZ01]

the devs have stated they got lost in making craftopia, they had no idea where they wanted to go and were just hoping to figure it out on the way. but for palworld they knew exactly the kind of game they wanted going in.

[@gabeskai]

It shows. The gameplay loop is rock solid! So excited for its future

[@kajex7589]

Small dev team slaps a bunch of cool pieces together into the game they wanted, delivers a Big W for the whole industry and players. Seriously though, how they incorporate the pals into everything: combat, exploration, crafting, and automation is incredible. They deliver on the fantasy of living in a world with pokemon and interacting with them in all the ways you wanted to but game freak never delivered on. Pokemon go came close, surprise surprise, it popped off in it's time.

Palworld Reminds me of Fallout 4 settlement system, albeit settlers just spawns rather than you recruit them, and Palworld is far more extensive and fleshed out. Watchdog Legion has similar mechanics of recruiting everyone, including enemies.

[@jonservo]

Legends Arceus was what I thought would be a great launching point for Pokémon to start adapting but Scarlet and Violet went back into the well trodden path that most of the games take. I’m hoping Palworld wakes Nintendo up and they focus less on getting a new game out every couple years and more on meaningful improvements.

The game needs an iconic soundtrack. Hopefully they hire some famous artists to compose new tracks.

Quick tip for reviving pals. Other pals in your base will try to "rescue" fallen pals and put them on a bed. If you have a knocked out Pal in your team, just drop them in the base, someone will rescue them and as soon as they are on a bed, you can put them back in your party.

[@kramerfortuna7228]

I only tried the game because it was free to me, but I honestly love it so far. While a lot of design choices (especially the visual ones) are derivative of Pokémon, it's so much more than "Pokémon with guns." Exploring and fighting alongside my Pals reminds me of Spectrobes, one of my all-time favorite DS games. The exploration and gathering is a lot of fun, sort of like Minecraft, but more rewarding to me since there are actual objectives to seek out in the world. I was always interested in survival games, but most of them felt very tedious. Palworld lets my Pals handle the tedious aspects so I can just do the fun stuff. The Pal breeding mechanics are fun to experiment with and have a surprising level of depth. And since they can do so much and they fight by your side, I feel much more connected to my Pal team than I feel to most of my Pokémon. On top of that, the custom world options give you so much freedom to craft the experience and pacing/progression that YOU want. It's by no means a perfect game, but so far it's just FUN- something that's been lacking for me in most of the big budget titles the past couple years. For an example, my camp got raided by those same hostile Pals. They killed off one of my favorite monsters, but I managed to capture the one leading the raid (the Incineram), and the minions fled. As a "punishment" for killing my Pals, I sent the Incineram to work in the mines. It ended up being surprisingly helpful, and it started to "redeem itself" in my eyes. And the next time my camp was attacked, the Incineram saved my life and fully earned a spot on my team. It's nothing significant, but that was still KIND OF a little, unscripted character arc, and things like that make me CARE about the Pals. Again, it's not perfect. Like there's 2 areas of the map where I keep clipping through the ground, and I REALLY hope that gets patched. But the gameplay is fun, the combat and exploration are satisfying, and the Pals really feel like allies. I think other survival sandbox games and other creature collecting games could potentially learn a lot and reach even more people if they pay close attention to some of Palworld's strengths. If you read this far, I hope you have a blessed day! 😀

[@bagboybrown]

This game is actually amazing. There's so much to it. You could sink hundreds of hours in the breeding system alone.

[@SplittingOfPrides]

They got a new programmer (with experience in the gaming industry) who was interested in creating Palworld And this programmer taught beginners how to use Unreal Engine

[@olafthebear2327]

I hope Bethesda is taking notes. Their stinky old buggy engine really needs to go. Meanwhile we've got Pocket Pair slapping together an absolute banger with an engine they didn't know how to use before starting development

[@randomname1924]

According to an interview / dev post from PocketPair’s CEO, Craftopia wasn’t a “beta” Palworld as more of just their first attempt at making a game. The reason the game seemed to be mostly abandoned for some long was that they needed to focus the resources and funds in one game and they chose Palworld because they saw more potential on it. Now they have returned to Craftopia’s development, so even if I don’t completely agree with their decision to abandon the game for a while, it’s reassuring to see they still care to an extent

[@StygianIkazuchi]

Where is this info coming from exactly? The only period where Craftopia seemed to be abandoned was during the build-up to the Seamless World Update back in July. Since then there have been 16 different updates, at least one a month.

[@spacepuppie]

OMG I love this game! It's been a long time since I've gotten so lost in a game, that before I knew it, it was 3:00 in the morning. It's like Ark and Pokemon got together at a swingers party with some other games and had a baby as a result ... lol It's brilliant! Gives me hope for the future of gaming. I'm glad to see you enjoyed it so much. I hope more sceptics give it a try.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

Ark and Pokemon hooked up in the Breath of the Wild Hotel. That's kinda the vibe.

[@Ona1000]

Same here. Haven’t been so addicted to a game since in YEARS. Just wish i had more time to play it

[@Airlinecuisine]

I wasn't initially too hooked on the game, but I came around and something I think is really cool and not really talked about is that first mammorath, when you enter the world the enemies are cats,chickens, and lambs, anywhere between level 1-5, but seeing that mammorath and if u decide to even attack it or witness it fighting other pals/npc's it gives you a goal "I want to catch that, I need to get stronger" it increases the scale of the world immediately, alot of older mmo's and rpg's used to do this but newer ones never seem to anymore, it's like they are afraid to make the player feel weak, or maybe they think they'll think the game is unfair, but i think hitting that mammorath and it just absolutely wiping you, and your attacks looking like you didnt even touch it's HP bar is just a feeling of scale, anyone can take a buncha games and throw them into one game and it'll likely be a mess, but palworld dev's did a good job at combining all of these elements in a way that feels good to play aside from the occasional glitches.

[@RhazOfRheos]

I wish they made a fully automated base like Factorio. Besides from basic work like mining or crafting, everything else have to be done manually like creating ingots. What I suggest is basically just make the transportation Pals have logistics. They are the conveyer belts of factorio in palworld. If you have all the stations and materials, you can simply chose an item in a hub or something to create and let the pals fully carry out the material for all the stages from one station to the other until the final product is finished.

[@torgrimhanssen5100]

I was a bit surprised there was none of that from Craftopia, but at least you have in base shared inventory.

[@GabrielArchon]

I'd be happy if they implemented a type of setting for the chests and boxes, like you can adjust security, but you can make the chest only receive a specific type of material, like wood or stone. That would clean the process a lot, I think.

A suggestion about base raids: get a fusion cylinder and overcharge a strong Pal (a Lucky, maybe?), then leave it as a sentinel. Mind you, it'll take some time - but an overcharged Dinossom, just to say one, can wipe the floor with creatures many levels higher. The only problem with fusion is that it, well, FUSES pals - you need many "dance partners" for your UberPal, starting with 4 and ending with 64. It takes a long time to Uber up a pal completely, but the end result is an unstoppable force of nature.

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

Weight is not a real issue. Early game you can stuff your party full of Cattivas, each adding 50 carryweight (and can surprisingly hold their own in combat despite all of them having the Coward trait reducing attack), later you can get Condenser and condense (1+4+16+32+64) cattivas into one lvl 5 cattiva that provides a huge carryweight bonus (ideally bred with support perks like Vanguard, Motivational Leader, etc). Later you can replace Cattiva with Lunaris, which looks sick AF (literally futuristic android, japanese style) that does the same thing but better and is actually decent in combat too if you don't want it for just player support skills. Best you can invest your stats into is HP. I still take some carry weight, but out of 10 levels I take HP like 7 times and 3 carry weight (in early game I put 5 points into stamina though, in the first 10-15 levels, to be able so scale cliffs when I need to). Attack gives you almost nothing so not worth points and Work speed is useless unless you run 5 pals with Motivational Leader that increase your work speed by 125%, and even then you're still slower than a single artisan Anubis, so..

Loving it so far (in the 30's lvl wise), but it definitely needs automation for a lot of stuff (cooking/refining ore/etc.). I am getting tired of having to clear all the stations after they finished working and setting the new tasks manually. I would love if they also let you manage what tasks a pal should focus on (like a priority system). My transport pals keep getting sidetracked on other tasks that I don't need them doing and stuff keeps stacking up.

I have enjoyed the breeding process (after reducing the crazy wait time value from 72 down to 1) and hunting for better schematics. Found an AR, Shotgun, and refined cold armor schematic’s many levels before I even unlocked them which is very satisfying. Kidnapped a merchant that sold ammo so I could use them early. Didnt think I’d get into the breeding process as I have since I usually don’t care about mid-maxing my allies in games like pokemon, persona, and pretty much every FE game with the exception of Three Houses. That being said, I am only enjoying the process because I lowered that stupid timer. 45 hours down to 30 a minute wait time makes all the difference. This aint a p2w mobile game. I want to play the game, not wait days to get anything done.

[@fxlm5906]

Got a save on normal mode where I did something like 95% ish of the game with a satisfying team/base, took me about 130h and was not bored for the whole journey and all of that for 40$. I'll be back when they add endgame or if I find interesting mod for it. This game as so much potential, it's good in the early state and it can become incredible.

[@Vaillle]

The weight complaint I think is meant to be mitigated by the different pal’s abilities to assist the player. So, what I’ve seen so far is that Kingpaca’s can add an additional 100 carrying capacity to the player, and a team of 5 would stack to be and additional 500. He’s the best I know of right now but there may be a tier above him, which would round out nicely. Cativa add 50, Kingpaca add 100, and “?” add 150-200.

[@xXKisskerXx]

Man I wonder if it just plays that much better on STEAM than Xbox Gamepass PC version, since you don't seem to have any of the issues I saw. And I agree, I think "Craftopia" was a test of "can we even make a game people enjoy? Can we make a game at all?" and then boom all the core work of Craftopia moved into PalWorld.

[@purpasmart_4831]

Steam version is WAY better due to being several patches ahead.

[@DragonmasterKeel]

the Devs themselves said that as when they made craftopia they didn't really know what kind of game they wanted to make which is why it is the way it is. I hope they start making the NPCs more live and living their lives specially the human ones that just sit their waiting for you. Basically I hope they make a more living world

[@KiraSlith]

As someone who bought Craftopia though, I kinda feel gyped. Craftopia was promised a lot of what Palworld got, when Craftopia was left incomplete. There is one thing Craftopia has that Palworld supposedly won't ever get, vRoid integration (which tbh is a shame, because I sank a few hundred hours into my vRoid model).

[@StygianIkazuchi]

@@KiraSlith Craftopia isn't abandoned, and they never said they won't ever add vroid integration. I asked in the discord myself. They only said that they would not have it for launch but were looking into it. They mentioned part of the reason was that licensing for Vroid on UE5 in general was only 3 months old.

[@KiraSlith]

@@StygianIkazuchi Let's be real, Craftopia is abandoned, they've done this once before. Last talk about vRoid integration for Palworld was a year ago, and a flat "no" was the answer. So excuse me for not being in the official Discord asking the devs every other month about vRoid integration. :eyeroll:

[@aaronwe9850]

One thing I wish they would add would be an easy way to transfer resources between bases.

[@aurondoxon3805]

One of my hopes for PvP is they do it like an instanced arena battle to reduce lag.

[@goldtoothslair3052]

At 6:10 he talks about how you can increase your pals and yourself through the Anubis statue which yes you can do this but you need small Souls medium souls and large souls for your pals and you need those green Effigies for yourself but at the moment with the current state of this game do not increase your catching rate until they fix this bug because right now this system is bugged and the higher that number goes it actually makes it more difficult to catch Pals. So at the moment just don't increase the catch rate until after the bug gets fixed which I do hope it's soon

[@KaiCluster]

Semething that you will definitelly keep using once you figure it out - When running downhill, press the crouch button (while sprinting). You're welcome. (P.S.: To make it even better, if you have a glider (or a pal that you can use as a glider), once you press the crouch button, press the jump button twice), you're welcome again.

[@LuongVC_Entertainment]

The common thing among a lot of successful game is often build upon the failures of a lot of projects. The difference is that big publishers is able to scrapped games and the consumers will never hear about it until the dev talk about it.

[@darknetworld]

I see they work on other game similar for testing them out. I can guess we love cute things or cute creature that we love during our young days. It take a while to travel and not fast travel that easy. We are used to cheat to travel fast else you miss some loot on the ground. I forgot there is mount and flying mount for but need to unlock and capture them.

[@comegetsomeification]

They already have boss enemies. What they could do is put in like God level bosses that spawn on rotation at a specific part of the map or something. Like if the level cap is 50 the boss can be like 75 or something

[@jonservo]

Honestly, this looks like the game Pokémon should have become years ago. I understand why Pokémon fans could be mad about the pals looking similar but Nintendo and the devs have been stagnating. They spent thirty years releasing a new game with minor improvements every year or so and have left it ripe for someone to swoop in with a real leap in the formula. The biggest change to Pokémon in years was the legends Arceus game, which I thought was pretty good but then they went right back to the lackluster copy paste formula for the next game. You can’t really be mad if you spend the whole race walking and you suddenly lose to the guy that shows up running. Best case this will give Nintendo a kick in their complacency and they will actually come out swinging with future Pokémon games

[@Kazuma_DoubleIce]

I found a location at the Banbo forest where I can no longer be raided, so far I have been raided 7 time's each time they just get stuck in the ocean under my base so I just fly down on my Nightwing and it's a easy picking.

[@bazerger6258]

I wonder if the pathing issue is that "away pathing", where when no player is around, it switches to a much less calculated system, and they start doing things like pathing through objects.

[@rickywood8805]

Player vs player combat could work but I think it would have to be more like call of duty or something where you go into an arrna and pick a preset load out of gear. The rest is dependant on how you set your stats. Or even have set stats for the load outs.

[@Rexax1]

Also the ambiance sounds are very good

[@Nyxcha]

bonus. with mod tools coming...think of the POSSIBILITIES possibiltiy 1. when they add pvp. you know minecraft civilization videos? imagine that in this. 32 people. divided into 2-4 teams. build bases and fight opposing team. race to get a certain pal or kill enemy palbox. possibility 2. modders make custom maps. SO MUCH potential

[@tarrker]

The PvP for this game is going to be absolutely WILD. I really hope they have plenty of options. :)

[@catcrablobster3792]

there's more than 111 pals as some have variations and will be placed in the B slot. so if you get pal number 67 and its a ground type, you could find like, pal 67 B and it'll be a water type or somethen

[@xJohnnyBloodx]

the combat and creature capturing systems are good, but the two things that keep me from liking it as much as others are the micromanaging i have to do with the Pals where they get eating disorders or get depressed. I don't want to have to keep track of them, they're just tools to me. The second thing is building. I know some people don't care as much about building, but having a nice looking house is always the end goal for me in these kind of game sand the building is so finicky and limited.

[@blakedragonhybrid4186]

that is why this is different then pokemon as the pals aren't just tools they are living beings.

[@mikaruyami]

I agree with the base building comment. Trying to build decent looking based apart from just genetic box house is really frustrating. Especially when you want to connect to the foundation parts of different levels. Or want to building flush with the cliff side.

[@mastemathedank4043]

Hopefully they add more building options, considering it just launched I get that some things just aren't going to be in the game but it would be nice. Also usually the problem with the Pals are AI pathing issues and hopefully they can fix that as well so there's less micromanagement

[@nikopaseman7147]

I also look forward to better bases and base-building. The pieces are difficult to arrange, as they snap unintuitively, and don't allow for much variation yet. Plus a raid with fire Pals just ashed my whole base in one go. (I got all the resources back)

[@chaotixthefox]

Stress issues are easily solved by 1 basic hot tub and a bed for every pal. The eating disorder thing is likely bugged as I've had a Tanzee that supposedly developed an eating disorder due to stress and permanently has the Overfull status, but it works just as well as before and never drops sanity or suffers anything negative, so that's also not an issue. If you use the monitoring stand to increase the workload of the pals you probably want to go up to fluffy beds at least.

[@jamesriddle8986]

Also, 111 totally unique pals but variants are independent creature that would be 01b or 81b so there are closer to 200 to unlock

[@zeehero7280]

I hope they add the ability to interact with furniture like chairs and such.

[@Mike-my7uf]

Imagine putting award winning gameplay mechanics that people love into one game? I wonder why Nintendo never thought of this?

[@Alteori]

bc they never had to. That's what happens when companies get too big and have no competition

[@jgrif7891]

The borrowing of design elements to improve them is referred to as iterative design in the biz.

[@geodudepnw2317]

Pokemon: Palworld copied me Dragon Quest: Am I a joke to you

[@hawlkman]

With the exception of silver I never got into Pokémon games, silver was the first I played and after that it felt like they were just copies of the same game with a new skin, similar to what cod does. I have been greatly enjoying palworld and hope the game has a bright future because I enjoy it way more then Pokémon.

[@AmandaFessler]

Yeah, base pathing and especially the inability to filter out which items go into which box bother me, but otherwise it's a banger of a game. Incidentally, looks like you built in the same base spot as me. :)

[@jaydub2546]

Yeah... At one point I started labeling chests then realising it's pointless. Only thing I've found that works is build a small house and put chests inside, the pals don't bother going through the door so never mess with those chests. I just keep my gear and blueprints in there

[@Generalonell]

The farming of ore later game needs work. Like I built a whole base just to mine it and I go through it like nothing still making the basic spheres

[@thelightwielder]

There are locations you can pick that can't be raided, so you can pick them off from a safe distance

[@SkeithKing]

Some Facts about this game- this game made more then 8 million on steam sales alone 2/3 days ago. There are currently 111 different pals(not counting elemental different types)

[@NytPhytr]

If i recall there is a pal that gives you more weight when in your party so when you are moving a lot of stuff have that one in your party. might be cattiva?

[@leexeseul]

The scariest part, is Palworld is only 40% complete. I can't imagine how huge the actual game would be. It's so good man.

[@kelmirosue3251]

This imo is why it's so important to just, look at the mechanics and PERFORMANCE of a game rather then just "OH this game looks so pretty" or just following a title of a game

[@handsomeivan6449]

May you catch em all

[@NetraAmorosi]

Katress isn't wandering it's in a "Seal" aka an Arena boss.

[@StygianIkazuchi]

There are wild Katress. The one sealed in that arena is just a boss variant

[@mgatelabs]

One thing I would want is the "Base Stash". I should be able to pull up a menu and grab any item from the base into my inventory. Not have to hunt down the chest.

[@CluelessDadGamer]

This is cool in vr using the uevr mod if you have a pc that can run it.

[@toukoenriaze9870]

if they do pal vs pal pvp they should let us take control of our pal like we can with the mount pals in the default game xD

[@spiffdaddy]

Last tip put say 1 wood in every slot...Pal know to only put wood in that box.

[@Lynxan]

I found two locations that you can not get raided at as they are on raised locations.

[@Welkinthewolf]

I swear base raids were so easy early on and under level until one person gets level 30 which sets them to level 30 even if you have a friend in less than 20

[@MrBthomp]

Sometimes pals or NPCs get trapped in rocks too or terrain. Also, I'd like to see better controls more building. Unless you're building on a complete level surface, it looks and acts weird. Also, if you're building a house it's really hard to put a roof on a wall.

[@deezillusioned9909]

Love your vids man! I started watching due to Grounded and stayed. Your honest opinions are great!

[@ndrage]

I'm enjoying Palworld. I agree that they do need to improve AI pathing. Sometimes my Pals would get stuck on top of the lumbering quarry and have no way down. I have to manually take them out of the base and put them back in so they can continue to work

[@selenawolf2466]

I just wish the fridge wasn't reliant on a Pal to work 😅 I lose so much food. And the size of skeletons around, I want kaiju pals 😂

[@TeraByteify]

I just unlocked my flying mount. What a difference.

[@1337174m1]

Ive got about 50 hours into palworld now, and I totally agree with the AI pathing. Not just for your base pals, but the enemy AI. I built my base in a ore node circle, that's on the edge of a cliff (in the yellow grass forest by the bridge). All raids come from a specific area and follow one of two paths, and they usually file into a specific area to attack my base, but cannot go forward because of a cliff. So they freeze in place. So I just massacre them every time. I know I am spoofing the AI, and taking advantage of it too lol. Another thing they can fix, is climbing. The cliff faces are all buggy and hard to climb. Especially if you are in the water. its easier to climb an overhang than it is up a shallow incline. Its crazy.

[@OokamiKuro39Ch]

Craftopia was a good concept. They had a lot of issues with their seamless world plan, but prior to that they had a lot of things the was pretty good.

[@CW19941]

It's definitely a very fun game🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@coolieplum5393]

the game will definitely be improved since they sold so many copies on their early access

[@LeonardoIV]

I loved craftopia & still hope that it will get updated😅

[@carpediem3991]

The question marks in your technology tree are pals you havent caught yet and their corresponding saddles/guns etc…

[@DifunctedReble]

16:02 You probably figured this out already but you can go left 'Q' one tab for an empty page instead of 'E' 12 times.

[@kevincrusher2414]

We need the ability to build with no collision. Shouldnt be punished if a wall is near a cliff for example. Same thing we demand from all these games.
