Bro this looks like so much fun!

[@Kinsky_isbored]

Yeah bro wish I play it

[@zachb1785]

I honestly can't wait for the game to release, I've had it on my wishlist since October, and I'm super excited

[@Luke-bo4cv]

I've watched this game progress for a while now it's incredible how detailed a game just a small team of people cam make

[@JayCreationsDev]

the music is just so good, makes a game complete imo

[@vickyxx197]

Became a subscriber when only a handful Dev Diaries was up and been keeping track of this game since. I can't express how overly excited I am to soon be able to play this game I've been longing after for so long. It truly looks awesome and it's been an amazing journey to follow.

[@nocapitzcrysis]

You came a long way on this game Mann hopefully everything goes well the day it drops can’t wait

[@pedrobelluzzo]

Just looking at your thumbnail is already inspiring. Your game is so beautiful!

[@puntalic]

This looks like a pure winner! Gratz so far. Also, nice to see the different side of development. Thanks!

[@egretfx]

Wow, this game has come a long way man..very good work out there!!

[@JonLynchIsAlive]

No one who watched this demo: “The building is all janky at the moment...” This game looks beautiful and fun!

[@TheAlienpope]

Super interesting video. Every little detail discussed and things shown is very cool to get insight on. It really lets people know how much thought and care goes into these things. As a game dev I already know, but letting everyone else see the process is really cool. Thank you

[@Calbac-Senbreak]

Absolutely beautiful, man. No words. This a job of a life, cheers!

[@brannonharris4642]

This is insanely polished. Good snippet here and keep this up for gods sake!

[@cloudwolf3972]

About the splash art: the cave was almost unnoticeable for me(if it wasn't for the mention). Maybe changing a bit so its more visible.

[@Toopa88]

100% agree

[@sad_man10]

Same for the ship as well. I think the cave and the ship just need to be bigger

[@abubakrbardien7246]

Dude I wish I found your channel when the game was in much earlier stages of development. This is my type of game, utterly amazing.😁😎 I know I could just watch those other videos but it wouldn't feel the same

[@XwO-mk]

looks great!. Few minor suggestions, adding bees/wasp nests or any other insects and animals to the forest will add currently missing liveliness to the environment. Also, the hotbar icons look flimsy at the moment and I think its due to the fact that you're currently fitting entire item in a slot; further limitations will be more visible when you add items of different scale. One way to combat it from the design is to use slot real-estate for a focal point of that item. For example, rather then showing the whole axe use that space to display axe's focal point along with the details to make the player feel this weapon is powerful. Anyway, I love the direction you're taking with the series and the game!

[@SomeAB]

As a UI/UX artist, I approve of this !

[@user-ld3ny2yp2y]

I love the artstyle of this game, I cant wait to play it!

[@benmorgan3856]

Cannot wait for this game, looks absolutely stunning - well done guys

[@biteszadusto892]

It's been 48 seconds since I started watching the video. I already love the game

[@Skeffles]

This really looks great. It's cool that you've got the demo happening and was nice to hear from Daniel about how he made that image.

[@ioshinigami2165]

those icky caves remind me of Children of Marta. Game looks promising, glad it came in my recommended, looking forward to how it develops further man great job (plus the music feels on point too)

[@omarbagdadi9306]

This game is gonna be so sick once it comes out cant wait.🔥🔥🔥 I don't know if you thought about multiplayer but this game looks like alot of fun with friends

[@bakotademon5543]

The main menu screen so beautiful I love it and dungeon soundtracks dammm every sound have his uniqueness. The vibes this game gives me so relaxing with excitement... good work on this masterpiece...💜 Thanks so much for sharing this with us... 🤗

[@ezelominish3767]

The last cave song was really good !

[@Bennyjprice]

Love these progress videos guys, really nice to see small iterations made over time leading up to something epic!

[@MadAboutTutorials]

looks awesome mate. Missed the Kickstarter but got it in my Wishlist ready for launch.

[@darkmagiciansels5833]

the game looks better every video , cant wait to see big villages and cities with different art style and themes like a modern kingdom , a magical kingdom .. and races and many NPC walking around in villages , or farming , or just in the feild , cant wait to see all of that come to life

[@brandonhohn245]

This game looks absolutely amazing. The only thing I’d really say I would look into changing would be the look of the run. It looks like it’s a little static, like the player is moving at a static speed and the player is just playing a static running animation. Sounds weird, but if that were changed and it looked a little more fluid, I’d say this game looks absolutely stunning, especially not coming from a larger studio! 👍👍

[@bungacow9241]

This is coming together rather nicely! And I love the cave music 😮👌

[@eboatwright_]

Wow. I've been following this game from the beginning, and it's looking awesome!

[@hay_cici]

Man i being following your game journey and im so exited for this game. It looks great... Congrats you are doing what you love and your amazing at it.

[@Ducain23]

This randomly showed up in my recommended and happy it did. Added to my wishlist!!

You can add something like lava or glowing mineral mine under the dungeon. This way the dungeon will have more variety and it will also feel less depressed. :)

[@TheShelfman]

This is nuts. Absolutely in love with it!

[@sundaysunday9718]

Looking so bloody good Julian!

[@AntTonyPony]

The game looks amazing. My one suggestion would be to show off some combat. I've watched most videos and i still havent seen how that is going to look and play out. If you have shown that off in a video and i messed it then i apologize. If you havent then i think it would be nice to show a small clip of that.

[@TheArtkaw]

Hope you can add dynamic shadows that cast around the player while holding the torch to make it really feel immersive. Plus add eerie echoes in SFX and other fun effects to really give the dungeon life.

[@davidpotter9785]

This is amazing design. Can't wait to play one day!

[@mercieralexis51]

I love the look! Textures and lights are beautiful. Can't wait for this game

[@yowitsjoy1445]

could you add like he'll be able to have family and they can all explore together and children can inherit everything when character dies. This look so pretty

[@marcelozilio8456]

beautiful! looks great already

[@ReeceGeofroy]

Wow! Great work once again, Julian! Looooove the main menu.

[@MetalStormGames]

This looks amazing, well done

[@tiagsyong2208]

seeing this update made my day. I've been waiting man HAHA

[@kaustichaze8870]

Looks amazing, the art and design stuffs what im good at so i loved that part. Building is really coming along and looking great!!

[@Gildur01]

Absolutely terrific splash artwork and gamefeel

[@mrregularword4329]

Dude I’m soooo excited for this

[@drexxboban8277]

Can u add so we can customize character’s look, i mean his clothes, or find armor and clothes in dungeon and throughout the map? Also pets.

[@gurkimo1304]

Yrah that would be cool

[@drexxboban8277]

@@gurkimo1304 exactly, great addition, cause its not just about the island, also the main character who i presume is Len

[@gurkimo1304]

@@drexxboban8277 yeah and there already is a lot of customisation but not for the character himself and like you said its probably as well about the character if its pzrt of the name

[@JayC182182]

Love the lighting in this game! :-)

[@AvatarNickGames]

This looks incredible man! Really love seeing other devs create great stuff, wishlisted

[@unclerandy398]

i love seeing this game evolve into something awesome

[@LM43243]

Omg! This looks super cozy, the game I've been craving lately. Thanks for making it :)

[@mrmoolahoola]

Dude, this looks awesome!

[@BenjaminRavn]

You guys are sooo cool and creative!

[@bhBlacky82]

looks promising, will definitly keep an eye on it

[@BigToeDev]

Can't wait for the game to release!

[@AspiringHeroGames]

Holy moly, this game looks freaking awesome! All my favourite game features rolled into one, and it looks stunning to boot!

[@sadeghmirzaee8258]

Its graphics are gorgeous, man!

[@justwatch-ne2kd]

OK I just want to say The thumbnail is like the best thumbnail I've ever seen in youtube Good job man

[@Icex666666]

Visuals are looking great

[@nikamaisuradze8523]

illustration is real masterpiece

[@yzrdFPS]

simply amazing 👏 hats off

[@jonathanlorenz-indiedev]

The environment looks really good. Looking forward for the enemies!

[@gamingwithflash7902]

I haven't been watching for a while but a marker/map system for the caves could make things a bit more friendly for players who might get lost, unless it all loops back in on itself then disregard and sorry for not paying more attention.. The game looks so good right now, cant wait so see more!

[@gavinmate6989]

The game looks so nice. Awesome artwork

[@maxedin7910]

The music in the caves is really good

[@HausCoding]

Very good at GUI, dude!

[@domfamily7929]

Looks great, love the artwork / Building houses etc. Looking forward to trying the demo.

[@Rinkyu]

This looks so nice!

[@scott_3336]

So the music is really good even as just "testing" tracks. I just hope they will be used the right way. Bc the second one didn't sound that cavy/dungeon to me, more like something having to do with water. But all the others are really well done so far great job on taht!

[@FuzzyDPozzy]

i am amazed you did an amazing job.

[@Red-fg9qr]

oh o_o I just learned about this game with this video, love the style! I'll browse around to find more about it. :)

[@michaelmarkusackermann7466]

So beautiful! I'm excited to try this game out

[@heinrichschultze6720]

didn't know about the game before i saw this.... but it looks super cool! keep up the great work!

[@FirephyGaming]

This looks amazing looking forward to see where it goes

[@popadom4529]

This is beautifully made

[@bigdickdaddyhotassmotherfu4898]

the cave music at 3:42 is the best imo

[@ross4334]

Dropping the torch down on the floor so it sticks in for combat would be a great addition. Might be better for combat?

[@darkroy610]

this game more and more looks like the game I was missing until you made it :D so cool

[@HalfUgly]

OH wow! This is pretty cool!

[@jfurmann]

love the UI of the chest

[@LastGamerName]

Looking good! I like the cave music. I'm assuming the calmer music will be used for general cave exploration and the more upbeat for the corrupt zone to build anticipation? Keep up the awesome work! :D

[@thomazgarrett6061]

I'm gonna get addicted to this so quickly

[@daedaluxe]

This is looking good af

[@level1gg]

Damn the graphics are amazing!

[@jdgames3783]

that's looks like very well!

[@bingbongbangbingboom]

Nice progress!

[@richardwestphal1015]

Is there going to be a minimap in the caves? Cuz I’m definitely going to get lost and I’ll forget how to get out.

[@mykeptyson9177]

Sounds like a cave bro

Pen and paper? :D

Nah. I liked getting lost in minecraft

[@publicalias8172]

@@mohammadjihad569 less frustrating considering you can dig out

[@AnasMations]

Lookin awesome!

[@TOBI.SARU.]

Kinda wished it was first person. Games like this just work better in first person i think.

[@affenbauch]

This looks great. Please call the torch (or a unique torch item) "Len's Flare". Happy coding and designing! xD

[@hy455]

graphically looks soooo good for an indie title

[@bittoz4225]

I love this, it would be so cool if you could have a campfire and a tent and just live in the wild in a tent. Love the game cant wait for it to come out and keep up the good work. :)

[@quantumcookie64]

I have to say the gramophone is a really wonderful idea!

[@mulethedonkey2579]

Looking good! Like you said, not near the end result, but think it's likely good to hear your own thoughts frmo someone else if you know this, I think some of the cave geometry feels cut off right now, maybe its the rounder platforms of the floor. What if there was depth under the floor, like a floating stone island? *looking good so far, liking it, and the bird sounds, definitely like ambient sounds!*

[@cliffordunger8623]

Thumps up ! it looks pretty damn cool !

[@NaniNana881]

Incredible !!!!!!

[@OdemGeek]

If you use just play, you can load game while player in main menu, and when player click play game is already loaded.

[@Emeny]

I am so hyped for the release :D
