Landnama - Endless Winter Settlement Strategy Roguelite

[@sonderland-games]

Thank you for playing our game Splat!

[@erik7271]

Was it a sponsor or so? Looks like quite a bit of fun to play

[@TheAussieLeo]

Plz ignore Splatty's request re Seasons... he forgets that different cultures have between 2 and 6 seasons :)

[@user-uk5bx1kz2k]

nice game!

[@Audiotrocious]

Please lower the cost for each Winter or shrink the window.

[@kinagrill]

Just wishlisted your game on steam for when purchase is possble. Wouldn't have know about it without Splat, so cheers on making a very appealing-looking game, both visually as well as mechanically-speaking.

[@elijahsnow3119]

The real reason we watch splat: the cooking advice :3

[@wagesof58]

Today's cooking w splat we find out that the secret to making chicken is to actually make turkey.

[@Hundmathr]

The title Landnama comes from The Landnámabók, the icelandic book of settlements that chronicles the settlement of Iceland starting in the 9th century including the names and genealogy of the settlers.

[@RyanDanielG]

This is what I was hoping to see here. Thanks

[@tomaskir]

The "island" on the map at the beginning is actually Iceland. So each run seems to be a landing at a difference place in Iceland. The "dramatic peninsula" landing is quite close to Reykjavik.

[@yogtheterrible]

I was about to rewatch the video because I was sure he must know it's Iceland but I didn't remember him mentioning it.

[@clubardi]

that'd be bc 'Landnama' is almost 100% certainly inspired by the Landnámabók, often refered to as Landnáma, which is a medieval Icelandic work describing the settlement of Iceland by the norse in great detail

[@dreyri2736]

Weird for Iceland to have spruce forests at that time period. Doesn't really capture the tundra aspect.

[@Gigusx]

Imo this is one of the cooler games you've covered lately! So simple and yet compelling, gonna be keeping an eye on it

[@5minutemovies977]

It has to be cool when it takes place in Iceland

[@Wlerin7]

26:22 -3 for 3 harvests is 9 hearts lost, 6 before winter. I'd just pay the 5 directly, unless you're saving for something that will give a return before winter.

[@mrnice4434]

Very interesting game I like the simplicity that still got a good chunk of depth.

[@daviddarbyshire9715]

If you whack the turkey breast in the oven to keep warm, tip out all but a thin film of butter, then add some cream (and a tiny dash of soy sauce if you want it saltier), then reduce whilst constantly scraping the bottom of the skillet, you'll have yourself a tasty gravy that always matches the flavour of what you cook

[@RaG0dofTheSun]

I love watching Splat play most games, but sometimes, its just infuriating lol

[@michaelkreitzer1369]

I've bought so many games after watching his videos just to see what a play through when paying attention would be like...

[@rovingut5171]

my man keeping the indie world together as always!

[@JayJayM57]

the monuments or wonder appear to be highlighted by the aurora borealis-looking lights. a hint of where to look.

[@yobgodababua1862]

Just FYI, that first letter in "þorr" is a "thorn" character, not a "p". It's one of our great lost bits of alphabet and is pronounced "th". At some point after fonts became a thing it was common to use a "y" character instead of a thorn, which is where we get signs like "Ye Olde Shoppe" that really just say "The Old Shop".

[@alanvaughn4589]

Maybe it's because it's 5am right now, but I legitimately just giggled for 2 full minutes over Dramatic Peninsula.

[@Cuthawolf]

This one's going straight onto the Wishlist.

[@c8h18octane5]

Urban Strike, Jungle Strike, Nuclear Strike.. and more.. All great games I played a ton of!

[@Crimsonfangg]

I think it's a good idea to explore in all directions and not just go 1 direction. You had a landmark so close to your home that you just never explored.

[@ItsMrAssholeToYou]

Yeah, he kind of squandered the fox by using it to explore distant tiles (which take a long time). He could've knocked-out maybe double or more nearby tiles within the fox's duration.

[@Jinkypigs]

Yeah but this is classic splat though ... haha

[@ohdubwest7533]

Yeah … that was killing me too.

[@yggdrasilburnes]

It's the 5D chess he does regularly. He's even commented on it on one of his videos a few months back. People think he's playing games wrong to ragebait people into buying ( and supporting ) indie games to prove they can be the better gamer. I think he's figured that it works and has started to go out of his way to play it wrong. TLDR It's all a psyop, support small business.

[@goifur]

Classic splat 😂😂

[@vega1349]

I really like this one! Pretty unique in terms of a survival game loop. Really do hope they continue to expand moving forward.

[@gvasilyev84]

15 is a bigger number than 12? WOW! MINDBLOWING Math by Splat🤯😵‍💫

[@beorik]

Wow this looks great! I will definitely try the demo. The time/heart system is an inventive way to pace a turn-based game.

[@IcyyKing-ur6pn]

Love how usually the devs are in the comments on your videos. Your outreach and exposure is amazing!

[@nordicstorm9666]

Love the cooking guide/tips from you Splat! Not what i expected from this video but truly apriciated👌

[@davidfletcher6703]

The rune letter that looks like an angular P is actually pronounced in Futhark as TH, so the Clan is Thor

[@christopher.knight]

I thought it was a stylised Thorn Þ, but it's actually a Thurs ᚦ, which the thorn is derived from. I learned, so I shared :)

[@SilverionX]

Two r at the end would indicate to me, as a Scandinavian, that it's a rolling r. But my ancient Norse is non-existent so could be wrong.

[@Audiotrocious]

Reminds me of Northgard 👍 That Winter cost could be lowered.

[@Jedi_Vigilante]

Just played the demo (not as extensive as what Splatt is playing, it only goes for 4 winters), and the winter progression is a bit crazy. That could be due to the fact that it is a demo and none of the post-run progression is there, but it is something for the developers to consider if neither of those things are already taken into account for final balancing.

[@mikemcgillivry506]

Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, and Urban Strike was my JAM back in the day

[@VirtuesOfSin]

In order to successfully settle, you need to find the win-con tile and make your settlement max rank. A couple things I noticed that would of helped you was building an early marketplace (1 heart per 5 heart surplus) and building your settlement up earlier.

[@followingtheroe1952]

So is this the origin story of the bad guys from Bad North?

[@RioCuperus]

a single die is not a dice, thanks splat!

[@theeraphatsunthornwit6266]

13:53 best insult of the week😂

[@TheAussieLeo]

Love the steady stream of content Splatty.

[@elonwhatever]

Why did you build the peat bog on the marsh that could not have more marshes next to it, rather than one of the ones that could have more marshes next to it? Same with the highland Also Splatter: we don't want to wast hearts. Also Splatter: Immediately wastes hearts ^^

[@CowCommando]

Based on the counter in the bottom left, you needed to get to three of the aurora borealis spots to trigger something, possibly win.

[@feliperibeirosilva900]

it realy botter me that he dint click it even if it was 1 block away. it felt like one of those facebook adds that it does the wrong thing on purpose

[@thomasjgamble3865]

I’ll be honest, as someone who has lived in various very cold and snowy winter parts of the East Coast my whole life, this whole “survive the winter” mechanic in so many games isn’t the most fun fantasy for me. Game looks nice though ❤

[@piratenflipper]

classic splat choosing a mountaineer clan and then going on to choose a region with rare highlands 😮😮😮

[@arithedotanewb9126]

Very much a new take on the board game Robinson Crusoe

[@MsAzhriaz]

Hey Splat! As a person who professes so much enthusiasm about the vikings, how do you not recognise a Thorrir rune in the name of the clan. So it's not Porr, it's Thorr. :D That letter is the origin of the English "th" sound. Loved the video though. 😄 Also, the region map is more than a little reminiscent of Iceland.

[@gekkobear2]

Hey, at least he pronounced "ÖRLYGUR" correctly at 2:55 Oh really, Grr. 100% correct phonetically and historically.

[@Wolfsheim23]

Why wouldn' t you first reveal all the territory around your main village? He just ignored that one tile behind the village.

[@adamgroszkiewicz814]

King Splat & Emporer Morti....the guys I usually turn to for real reviews.

[@Urthopify]

What's all this talk about spring summer and fall? We only know Wint, Winter, Winterest and Winteverest.

[@tyrxa]

Love the cooking tips!

[@SilverionX]

The letter þ is called Thorn and is a remnant of the runic ᚦ and stands for the th sound in English. So I believe the name of your first clan should be Thorr, with a rolling r. But my Icelandic is non-existent so take it with a fist of salt.

[@lippy_8392]

Thyme is fabulous with chicken. Also with eggs. Best in an omelet.

[@dontnormally]

this game desperately needs to autopause on event trigger and event complete because the lightning fast reaction time needed to play optimally IS NOT FUN which matters a lot to me because otherwise it is a fantastic game

[@ItsMrAssholeToYou]

Start paused too.

[@TechNinjaSigma]

This looks fun, imma check the demo out

[@OneEvanescent]

When selecting the clans - the thorn, þ, is pronounced like a choppy TH. Like you bring your tongue to your front teeth, but instead of breathing through it to go thhh, you make all the sound with a breath that separates tongue and teeth, similar to how it works with the roof of your mouth for a T

[@OneEvanescent]

Also, Vegvisir being called a 'magical stave' doesn't mean it in the context of like, a wooden staff. Icelandic folk magic (the map is Iceland) has many Rune Staves, called such because they were originally carved on, sticks and staves. But in that context, 'magical stave' refers moreso to the symbol itself, rather than what it's carved on.

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

@@OneEvanescent #TIL. Thanks for that extra info on the location, folk magic and pronunciation for Þ. I knew it was 'th', but the actual way it should be said is new and useful anyway.👍😁

[@OneEvanescent]

@@DrBunnyMedicinal Eth, which is Ð or ð, is a more 'traditional' TH sound

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

@@OneEvanescent Ððððmokin'! 😂

[@greyed]

7:45 - Splat misses where the card clearly says it is temporary, take a drink!

[@jarradscarborough7915]

looks good, wishlisted on steam :)

[@bfranklin69]

I love these random events, management survival games. What genre is this anyway?

[@theeraphatsunthornwit6266]

Bought it.! Fun for 4 hours. It is fun for a while. Very short game. Not much replay value.

[@mcpunchins]

so this is viking frostpunk

[@KrypptikkSoulslayer]

Since “winter is coming,” will you be asking for assistance from the kings of Westeros against the ice king? 🤪

[@michaelkreitzer1369]

I don't understand. Why didn't you explore the glowy special tiles near the west of your longhouse? They seem to give huge bonuses, but you avoided them like they were bad?

[@ATZag135]

ThankYou SirSpla77

[@Scapestoat]

I don't know this game, but it seems like you built the peat bog on the tile with the least potential? The other two have undiscovered tiles around them.

[@CalgarGTX]

had 2 unique tiles unexplored on the left...

[@paradox0173]

"Cooking with Splat" coming when?

[@matthewsanchez7953]

Lovely game! I'm finding myself mildly distracted by the mismatched question marks on the top of the event cards.

[@sonderland-games]

We'll gladly fix that distraction but I'm not sure I understand. Could you elaborate how they're mismatched?

[@matthewsanchez7953]

@@sonderland-games Err, "mismatched" was the wrong word. I enjoy the look and style of the other icons on the card headers, but the question marks seem a bit out of place, especially when the event isn't necessarily a question. I'm sure they could still work fine, like the Chance cards in Monopoly, but maybe a holding shape would help them hold space better? Hopefully that clarifies my critique, as minor as it is :) Keep up the great work!

[@sonderland-games]

@@matthewsanchez7953 Yes that makes sense, thank you for the explanation. We'll ponder that!

[@goifur]

I hope this game gets mobile release, very pretty art style, very simple yet complex gameplay

[@joewilson3393]

I'm always surprised by which games do get a mobile release. I suppose I would probably see more if I had Apple (i.e. FTL).

[@sonderland-games]

It will come to mobile but Steam first!

[@goifur]

@@sonderland-games nice to hear this

Hello everybody walking back to the nerd castle today in the world of indie games so today we are checking out a title called Phobies

[@antares2097]

the devs definitely played some northgard

[@sonderland-games]

True! Shoutout is deserved!

[@Lavoye]

Tried the demo. Very short! :( It's addictive though, but i'll need much more variety to make it last for more then a couple hours of play time. It's alpha, so there's hoping. I'll probably buy it if the price is fair.

[@AlphaRebel]

Those time chunks are months, theres 12 of them

[@pratyushbehere3580]

Hope you're doing well.

[@hellfish2309]

Ooof ‘As Far as the Eye’ … hope it gets a professional delivery unlike that game

[@abhishekvchaudhari8181]

good stuff

[@simonfarre4907]

Come on my guy. 5 < 9 turns of no woodcutter (9 turns, is 3 * 3 hearts) for fuck's sake lol. Why take the wood cutters produce no hearts, when you can take -5 and actually save 4 hearts lol 26:35 And I've never seen this game before 😆
