Hey, I'd love to work on music for the game if you haven't got someone already?

[@ultragamerpro6903]

I know you probably won't go for it, but could you do a tutorial series on a 3d platformer in unity? I really want to make a mario odyssey like game with an emphasis on movement!

[@RobertThomsonDev]

I really appreciate it. I'm happy to take it easy now that this one's out. And I'm wondering whether to try something a bit different for the next video, just to keep things fun :)

[@ChiseledDiamond]

The particle effect is great for the rolling, but for the running it indicates too much speed. It's as if a weak punch in a movie creates a huge boom. Or you gently push your sibling and they act like you just tried to murder them.

[@berriboi6865]

one step at a time, a game is being created. i, amongst many others, get to bear witness to such a process.

Always love it when a Unity package does exactly what you’re hoping it will! Great series Robert!

[@_a.k_4093]

I hate it, I would much rather spend 20 hours trying to create a pathfinding script instead of using an optimised unity feature.

[@painleroux9486]

yeaaah the game is progressing very nicely

[@excellenceadigun9093]

Your devlogs are soo inspiring, relatable and, at the same time, motivational. Thank you 😊🏆 And also, a "bigboy thanks" for the epic fonts! It would be great to see a tutorial on how you made them. Most font designer tutorials go over my head 😅

[@TheRyanoceros]

I watch a lot of devlog videos and this is the first game I've seen that I'd actually preorder the hell out of.

[@crispylasagna]

This game seems like it’ll be awesome, I love all the movement

I just love your videos. Also glad to see that you finally started using Cinemachine! It used to be a paid asset that Unity acquired that makes everything camera related soooo easy. Side note, good luck and have a good day!

The ending made me chuckle. I wish I could heart videos on KZbin. You've got a great blend of info and humour. Fantastic 😁

[@algs5483]

:O you uploaded again!!!

[@silvadonix3322]

I’m gonna put this here again in hopes you’ll see it! Hey I just found this set of devlogs today, and I just wanna say I hope I can learn from you. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I’ve dreamt of making a game for 5-6 years now, and I’m working on going to college for it, but watching these shows me I might be able to make my dream come true myself~ so thanks so much for showing all this off, it was literally exactly what I needed! I still don’t exactly know how to go about it but now I know it is possible. Though I wish I could get some experience helping with something like this, I don’t have any experience at all and barely any knowledge of it from college. Good luck and I can’t wait to see what becomes of it! I’ll be watching! Also, new update on my comment on the last video, I’m learning (or at least trying to learn) unity because of these videos here, showing that making a game you’ve dreamed of is possible! Also I plan to play this game when you’re fully done with it so please don’t show us all the hidden lore and Easter eggs! :3

[@CarlosGonzalez-yc1pk]

Super nice devlog. Let's watch it.

[@awogbob]

great project man, I follow lots of indie projects but your prioritizes what I connect most too in great games as a gamer. Wonderful animation and expressive 'analog' movement. Great direction. I wish you all the succcess and support to see this project through as I believe it could be something truly special. What is your background other than the other game you made as it seems you have tons of polish and a healthy work ethic / planning ability that sets you up for success on your projects. PS. In your Devlog 3 you were asking for challenges, not sure if youre still into it but you should do the POUNDLAND Challenge: Go to poundland with 20 quid, buy as MUCH food and drink as possible (quantity over anything else), finally see if you can finish it all in 30 mins. Cheers

[@joshuasteyn8868]

Amazing Video as always, it's really starting to come together. Fingers crossed we get this as a Nindie title in the future, looks sooo fun

[@noahdunning6258]

Lol I woke up this morning and found this channel, watched all the devlogs, then started homework. Then he uploads instantly. Thank you KZbin.

[@UmbraCuticus]

Morrreeee this looks amazing so far

[@thatanimeweirdo]

I'm always so happy to see progress on this project! To be completely honest though, I really liked that the game did not have that "default unity shine" when you switched to URP, but that's probably something for the far future anyways.
