Despite wanting to be a villain you were a hero to the rabbits who will speak evermore of the beastman who killed all the foxes in the area.

[@dylanadams9465]

I've been watching this game for awhile, and the developer is a really cool guy. Hope this blows up and he gets a lot of funding. We had a failed kickstarter that was really promising.

[@gramsobie2989]

Game is looking cool. Gonna buy it

[@movementplanner8919]

You know what I've noticed? Splat's video notifications are the most consistent thing in my life. Every night at like 12am-1am kangaroo time I get the notification and know I'm in for a good 30 minutes.

[@theisgood0]

that is why he is like my fav.

[@Firzen39]

"12am-1am kangaroo time" - From now on this is how time zones will be defined: "Burger time", "Wodka Time", "Samurai Time"...

[@Dan-jj2vr]

Pizza time for me

[@johnrossman6679]

Trying the demo out. I am playing a necromancer lich. I have a small, but ever growing army of undead and they do most of the fighting for me. I am having a blast.

[@TheDuskinRaider]

You actually CAN repair items! Find a sharpening stone in town, then in inventory you get the option to repair. There is a chance to break item, and if you do repair you lose 10 durability!

[@robertcassistre5527]

Love how when he reads dialogue he puts his own spin on it and it’s never read verbatim from the text.

[@Gigusx]

Sooo, you're the kinda monster you get quests in Witcher to kill! Looks awesome, albeit unreasonably dark. It would make sense if during daytime the player could see further and the colors were lighter.

[@brycehoward4139]

I think his character was nocturnal

[@koffinkat666]

I wish they could make Cataclysm Dark days ahead like this.

[@heavenseeker2320]

There are so much feature in CDDA it gonna be hard to make it like this but I agree the NPC in CDDA are very very stiff

[@koffinkat666]

@@heavenseeker2320 Yes and the part that just Jars me is when you move accross the screen, The screen flashes and jitters. I am an epileptic so it gets me kinda dazed and sketched out about playing it. The inventory system and no mouse option really makes it a chore. I would love to see CCDDA get some kind of hard code rewrite to be playable in a less chunky way.

[@tochka832]

@@heavenseeker2320 it's possible to have GUI with lots of features tho, global strategies manage it, dwarf fortress now too but could be a real pain to design it in a good way tho

[@XMysticHerox]

@@heavenseeker2320 Having many features is no excuse for bad UI and controls. I like CDDA but the only reason it´s controls are shit is that it wasn´t developed very well.

[@someguy4384]

There aren't a lot of games that let you explore the evil side of the equation. It's always been fun to look at a conflict from the other side.

[@smkg25]

Fun concept game but you know what I love about like getting mail is when they're like time sensitive material and then you open it up and it's a commercial sneaky mailing

[@jamesbriggs9014]

I saw the trailer on steam and saw the vision mechanics thinking "Woah, that's like Unreal World", glad to know it's similar

[@mr.lonewolf8199]

I like how game have so many small details. I love that a at games, it made them so much immersive and lively looking , like a real breathing world .

[@AngryKittens]

That firefox joke got me.

[@Herpdongs]

never seen this channel before, never heard of this game, but when i saw the thumbnail and title i just knew i had to watch it immediately. and after watching it for a few minutes i already decided that this wil go on my steam wishlist and shall be playing the demo. thanks for giving me another time waster.

[@DamsdelDrennon]

It makes me think of Keeper RL's adventure mode but here you're still on the Evil's side, I like that. It has good potential I hope it fulfils it.

[@lukusblack6442]

I've wanted this one for a while. I'm not sure if I want this, or the ASCII that I'm used to. The only thing I don't love is that you can't see much, even in the middle of the day, on familiar territory.

[@Storykilladude]

It's like Gulash but with souls. Soulash.

DOOD! You've got to continue this game! Like on a bored Sunday or something lol. DO IT! :-)

[@SonySteals]

Thanks for the zoom xDD Watching it on a phone was a pain lol.

[@bugrayldz8555]

Hey! I really love your content and game choices keep going bro!

[@Zarincos]

Honestly, I was really excited hearing about this game, looks very neat. Then you mentioned the durability. That just kills it for me, I can't stand switching from using my magical flame sword to a tree branch when fighting low level enemies, making the combat take twice as long for no reason. Have durability if you want, but include some kind of repair mechanic. Even the other fix of making everything super easy to find/make feels really annoying for no reason.

[@silentbob8635]

i really felt it when that fishman said, "mrglrglrgl"

[@Blefiz]

Equipments are too frail, it makes no sense that weapons would be damaged that quickly.

[@solallavina3239]

Ever used a sword? I did. Blades get damaged very easily, especially when you hit a bone.

[@junova7503]

^this. Also, how many cuts does a shirt take to be useless in OP's world? The true reason though is that you are supposed to both craft and loot things to survive and if nothing breaks easily there's less need to.

[@picklefathernurgle2719]

I agree. Nothing degrades this quickly IRL. Even Dark Souls 1 knew to keep degradation reasonable. This game looks like Dark Souls 2 level shenanigans.

[@junova7503]

@@picklefathernurgle2719 The equipment isn't rusting away into nothingness. It's presumably chipping, denting, blunting, and cracking. I agree from a gameplay perspective it may be annoying to deal with but it's ridiculous to presume you can use a shitty wheat harvesting scythe to hack up 20 people IRL and somehow it's still got an edge.

[@junova7503]

There is nothing "Reasonable" from a realistic perspective about dark souls 1's weapon durability. Bone fucks up blades, this is a known fact.

[@Mercento]

Great find splat? Gona support it

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

It's basically Dwarf Fortress adventure mode but more user friendly. I can't wait for it to come out!

[@frostiestark9533]

This is one of those videos that makes me sad at the end because I want it to go on foreverrrr

[@carsonskjerdal473]

Looks great! One potentially unpopular opinion I have, that FOV system annoys me. A few games have done it, and I would be much happier if it were all just visible. Advance Wars I liked the Fog Of War, but in roguelikes I tend to dislike it.

[@OGSnoberry]

Are we going to see a series out of this? I'd love to see more of this game. Not enough youtubers are playing the upgraded version, just lots of 1 off videos.

[@SilverionX]

Check his twitch, maybe you'll get lucky :)

[@OGSnoberry]

@@SilverionX Can't watch Twitch at work, and I prefer content on KZbin.

[@SilverionX]

@@OGSnoberry That's unfortunate. He stopped doing series ages ago, hurts the income from KZbin too much. :(

[@OGSnoberry]

@@SilverionX I'm confused, how does a series hurt his youtube income? More videos = more views = more income, right?

[@vegaspony]

@@OGSnoberry my guess would be more people watch these sort of "let's take a look at" videos than "let's play" series.

[@arthurnemeth3888]

That game looks amazing. Take my money!

[@bombusterrestris6518]

5:40 "so there's a brokish elven archer over here." Woot?? 🤷‍♀️

[@RealBrainbug]

29:09 my favourite part - well done :)

[@ndowroccus4168]

Ooooh, that’s why when I play I still got ascii graphics. I was wondered if the copy I bought was just not cool enough. I got it when you played it last time.

[@catsandgames9871]

Soulash, a game in which you make people into goulash.

Yes Splatter Give me more!

[@mauree1618]

I like this one’s concept and UI.

[@Mischuanick]

This is a kind of game, I waited my whole life of.

[@fuzzy-02]

tbh it is very interesting. However, the way the vision turns is a bit confusion for people with a bit of vision problems, plus the graphic quality/animations could do with an upgrade and i think being able to zoom in is a good idea, it focusing easier.

[@Kaninimus]

Dropping a comment to hopefully give more attention to the game ^^

[@richiebee33]

The picture of you moonwalking away from the merchant of doom while snapping your fingers and setting him on fire, all the while yelling "Hee hee" and "Schamoe" is going to stay with me for a while.

[@KLiNoTweet]

Looks really cool.

[@LassondeA]

Getting some Castle of the Winds vibes

[@kynancowley638]

I tried this as the troll and just roamed around killing the whole map with a magical mace, pretty small map so far but could be cool later on

What an awesome game!

I have the heard the soundtrack in the first map before, is it in Tales of Maj'Eyal?

what are your top 5 'Traditional Roguelike' games are? Playing dungeonmans now. Played Tales of May`Eyal also.

[@ryanh4876]

Recommend "Going Medieval" its like Medieval, 3D Rimworld in Early Access

[@ApoMaTu3aTop]

True to the genre.

[@isitanos]

The fish meat was cooked because you set the fishman on fire? Hilarious.

[@Ilamarea]

There is an option to disable "fade tile on move" in the game :)

Do you keep a metronome playing while you speak? Because you line up perfectly with a ton of instrumentals I'm playing in the background lol

[@komakon]

looks promising

[@picklefathernurgle2719]

Hmm.. The durability system seems needlessly up punishing. Hope there's a way to repair equipment, don't fancy losing a jacked super weapon because I used it too many times

Notification SQUAAADD !!

[@andersonanderson1009]

That's a mouthful.

[@PetterKraus]

Hay Splatt, can you check Reverie Knights Tactics?

[@nmorgan350z]

This game seems like it would be badass as a MUD type adventure.

[@SirDiamondNips]

Do you think fishman meat would have to be cooked or do you think you could eat it like sushi?

Wow, amazing game. This is an insta-buy for me as soon as it comes out.

[@Spaceboyy95]

Finally traditional roguelikes are modernizing UI

[@scarlettisrich]

This game is actually very interesting! I hope more people play it cause I wanna watch it and as much as I like it, I certainly cannot play it myself because I suck at games and I get frustrated if I play the game that I really like BADLY

[@darkehorse71]

When I look at the media for this game on their official website, it has ascii characters for the sprites instead of a graphic set as in this video. Is this a special version? If I bought this game now would I get the ascii sprites or this tileset?

[@xiclu]

There are 2 versions of the game at this moment. On itch.io you'll find an alpha - full map with the latest updates, but ASCII only. The second version is on Steam - it's a free demo (limited map and level cap of three) showcasing the graphic mode you see on this video. Game with a full graphic mode should be available around late 2021 / early 2022. Hope this clears things up! If you'd like to support a game now on itch, you'll receive a Steam key after the 1.0 (full graphic) release anyway, so you won't have to buy it twice.

[@darkehorse71]

@@xiclu Thanks so much for clearing that up. I'll try the demo and then probably give it a purchase.

Wow! A video with roguelike in the title, and would you look at that? It's an actual roguelike! I wasn't entirely convinced with all the recent events, but it seems the world really is ending!

I remember you played a similar game with a same concept of being a dark god come back to conquer the land, but the gameplay was different, I cant remember the name of it.

Probably Ruinarch. I played the Soulash demo and enjoyed it even more.

so how do you attack i cant find anything in the tutorial on it i have no attack spell

[@parazsakharov7877]

Wish there was a monk class... Just brutally killing anything with bare hands

[@hurleyman77]

"Soulash" is that a fusion dish? Like a soul-food take on goulash?

Im interested in the game but the one thing that really turns me off is that triangle line of sight graphics, something about it really annoys me; its really distracting.

[@lov3masterns]

Why does this game's description kinda reminds me of one very old game called Black & White? Huh... But the gameplay is completely different, it's like a weird classical RPG with survival flavor.

[@phr33k4z01D]

are you zoomed out entirely or is that just how small everything is? that scaling is an issue for my vision...

[@Ilyas-ty6cy]

Look like a worldbox game but it become RPG genre.

[@AurioDK]

I really dislike games with durability as a "challenge", never understood the whole ordeal behind this sort of reasoning. Made a primitive stone axe some 20 years ago and it has seen it´s share of work, it´s made of of wood and a smooth rock I found by the ocean, I believe these can also be found near/in rivers. I have had to change the handle a few times to make it sturdier, the rock is still the same though.

[@geraldo071]

You know, it`s fairly hard to find the patreon for the game, somebody should tell soulash`s creator to make it more available

[@wizardsofthecode7923]

Thanks!

[@oliver_twistor]

Seems like a cool game. The only downside I see now from this video is that it's quite hard to see anything. The vision cone is too short and the colours outside of it way too dark. I discovered I was squinting the whole video, so now my eyes are tired. What a shame.
