MAKING A GAME WITH JUST A CUBE | Devlog #1 | Unity

[@Goodgis]

So basically you're telling my that "It's hip to be Square"? haha

[@Galaxy_World]

Me* yes

[@BenBonk]

Not sure if you've ever played What Remains of Edith Finch, but the idea is kind of reminding me of Lewis's story. I'd check it out if you are interested, and good luck with development.

[@Deynum]

Never heard of it before (or at least it doesn't immediately ring a bell), but I'll definitely check it out. (btw love your videos, and I was kinda in shock for a little while after I saw your comment lol)

[@BigToeDev]

Agreed.

[@Selrisitai]

@@Deynum He comments on, I'd say, 95% of other game developer's videos, ha ha!

[@volutedberet]

The idea seems interesting. It will be cool following the development of this project!

[@BigToeDev]

Can't wait for the next part! The story seems very interesting :D. Btw, I'm glad you decided to take a break from your big project and work on smaller ones. Definitely a good choice :)

[@BruceOnder]

Very excited about this!

[@ericksantiago3234]

L I G H T I N G Don't gonna lie, lighting in a 2D game makes it look more professional, I'd like to know how to do it :c

[@Deynum]

There's a pretty good tutorial by brackeys on it.

[@wazaDev]

The lighting and the simplistic colors really make the game look nice and attractive can't wait to see how the next video goes

[@marcelburdon9795]

This seems fun! The square graphics are odd, balancing between looking amateurish and wonderfully stylized haha, I’m excited to see how this develops!

[@thecartelfoundme]

I told him: “be there or be square” and needless to say, he was square

[@rymd-raket]

Interesting to see how creative one can be with such a simple concept!

[@254mojination8]

To be honest I kinda feel you have alot of potential..I could swear in atleast 5years as your content will be more interesting, you will have more experience and hopefully a team to work with...I feel u will be a massive influence in the indie dev society ✊♥️.. can't wait... atleast I was lucky to see the beginning of your journey..hope I will be with you to witness it's end.

[@Skeffles]

I love the sleeping animation. Perhaps you could have some Z's floating above the head.

[@starly3846]

Your channel is growing so fast well done 👍

[@n9it]

idk why but i thinked of a circle shaped cube boss when you said that can make every thing exept a circle

[@WuchtaArt]

You could say that every game is made with just a cube, very small cubes. Jokes aside, this is a cool idea

[@Fopull]

Making text out of squares sounds very hard, I wonder how you will do certain other things for this game. Looking forward to seeing more 👀

[@maximosolimandi3637]

1k subscriber special? Also I really like the art style of this game. I am really hyped about the story and gameplay of this game. You will probably crush the walking animation. Keep it up!

[@Deynum]

was thinking about making a 1k sub special but I didn't really know what to do for it.

[@maximosolimandi3637]

@@Deynum this video is fine as a 1k special I think.

[@LTGD]

It's weird watching someone intentionally making 'boring' gameplay, but it's actually really compelling, and I'm weirdly interested. Bit Papers Please-ish.

[@ShinyEmeraldGames]

The idea is pretty cool and I'm looking forward to future devlogs of yours. Challenging limiting yourself is a great idea, I also like to do that sometimes. Congrats on the 1k subscribers and somehow your profile picture reminds me of Sam Hogan. Keep it up! :-)

[@hlsls5634]

I’m so excited!

[@devmason8453]

CONGRATS ON 1K!!!

[@Deynum]

Thanks!

[@devmason8453]

@@Deynum Also, not to bother you, but love the channel. Idk how you have like, 500k subs, your perfect for it.

[@razvaniuga9164]

great video mate!

[@darealmexury]

Sounds very interesting!

[@tudypie]

Nice!! good luck with your new project. Edit : Just watched the full video and the idea is great but idk if it is a good think to make the player do the same things everyday I mean the boring job and other things should get harder and more stressfull each day. Just a idea idk

[@Deynum]

Don't worry, the gameplay is going to change every single day, and there is going to be more to it than just daily life, and a boring job.

[@tudypie]

@@Deynum ok nice

[@eloqi]

Hi! I like the new art style and I feel very happy because like the good old days I can teach or remind you of a word! Yay! That yellowy paper would be described as cream. Also, I notice that the tick is backwards. Is that how you write ticks in The Netherlands or is the video backwards? Either way, this looks exciting! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@Deynum]

sorry, but what are ticks, and where did you notice that, because you could be right, but I have no idea what you're talking about lol

[@darealmexury]

@@Deynum Ticks = Checkmarks

[@Deynum]

Oh, I get it now, yeah, I think I just made a mistake, I did it of the top of my head so... It happens

[@eloqi]

@@Deynum It happens indeed. But no matter, I'd be surprised if many people noticed.

[@georgeking2298]

I like it as a idea but i would also like something that he player will do to change his life but overall nice game idea and video i will be here to see and the next upcoming devlogs :)

[@Deynum]

oh, there will definitely be something that's going to change the main characters life in this game, I'm just still not quite sure if I want to share that before the release though.

[@georgeking2298]

@@Deynum i completely understand but i think in you next devlog you can give us a idea of what will you make but yes i get the point and agree with you

[@EmInSpace]

great video! just one thing i noticed, the difference of the color of the paper isn't really clear, especially for colorblind people. so i would make the color difference more noticeable.

[@Deynum]

That's a really good idea, what I might do is add an option to the game to make it more accessible, and when you active that the wrong paper's a clear different colour.

[@EmInSpace]

@@Deynum i think you should make the color more yellow from the start, so the player doesn't have to actively do something to make the game playable for them. you could also gradually change the color as the player get's more and more papers wrong, this would auto balance the game, kind of, if you implement it well enough.

[@N312RB]

@@EmInSpace I really like this idea

[@EmInSpace]

@@N312RB thanks lol

[@Jellyjam14blas]

Cool :)

[@DevDennis]

Very creative! I got inspired :)

[@malekelsady]

Cool!

[@itsME-dc4vm]

Nize ;)

[@itsME-dc4vm]

Nice ;)

[@BruceOnder]

Oh - this slightly different color probably fails accessibility guidelines. Something to think about.

[@Galaxy_World]

[@emperorstorm3266]

GENERAL KANOBI!

[@momin9730]

Nice

[@emperorstorm3266]

This video gives me Stardew Valley intro vibes. Maybe after this day you decide to move to the country?

[@cuppa_joe935]

Nice idea

[@livmattandkris9124]

No one gonna talk about how that’s a square and not a cube

[@Deynum]

Sorry, I realized this halfway through writing the script, but I decided to just go with cube because it's way easier to pronounce than square (at least for me)

[@mrcube1917]

That was a good idea.Btw hope you enjoy my channel.

[@berkcan3475]

dude everything we see on our screens are rendered by lit up squares PIXELS so everyone makes games with cubes there is no way around to make games dont forget that ;)

[@hectorragofi3640]

You sound like GMTK lol

[@Deynum]

Thanks, I guess

[@razvaniuga9164]

69 likes, nice

[@Bhunt9394]

Honestly, you could have just made any type of game, and said it still followed the rules because all pixels are square.

[@memelordddd]

Hello

[@Deynum]

hi

[@Rumpael]

Your style of speech is really weird to me. The pauses you make feel... unnatural. I don't know, maybe it's just me

[@Deynum]

The pauses in this video aren't natural, they're just gaps between the audio files to make the video feel slower (I wasn't intending on having them when I recorded it) Also what do you expect from a channel with just 1.9k subs :)
