Indie devs consistently making shit miles better than anything AAA corps could ever think of

[@nothingtoseehere9119]

real

[@blankface9363]

Not suprising. Big companies don't need to make good entertainment to make a profit from what i have gathered.

[@sorachatrukasuwan285]

It's not that they make it better than AAA games but that they care about the player not seeing the players as fat stacks of money

[@saibaEgg]

The wonders of not being held back by investors who don't actually play your product.

[@Ghosty_YT307]

So true, small games are somehow always better

[@aidanmatthewgalea7761]

[@theabstractguy411]

There is a forth classification of player… the playing-god classification!

[@blackrubygamer3428]

Every game with a building system has this kind of player, and I am all for seeing the chaos unfold from them!

[@ZinychDev]

Upon seeing them, some will immediately quit the game... Because of the number of elements, their pc will die

[@scared1585]

and the "over-engineer who makes warcrime machines" classification

[@litterbox019]

"hey guys it's josh and welcome to let's game it out"

[@Shadow_lord9983]

I fell out of my chair. I can already see the hell that man would unleash in this game

[@placeholderdoe]

2:24 “It just works” you better know the weight you carry with that phrase.

[@gamingcat6034]

Can’t wait to make a levitating tank that spawns mini dragonfly drones that spawn heat seeking missiles.

[@CodWalrus]

I too wanted to make that, then I paid five dollars to realise I need to learn C++ in order to actually build things

[@UnGatoBienCurioso]

@@UnGatoBienCurioso it’s true. You need to know like c++ in order to make something cool

[@Ben-kw3dv]

Someone ban this dude from all platforms this can be played on lmao

[@phailupe2941]

Oh shit it’s here finally! The first (second) devlog!

[@LUNCHWARS]

Second actually

[@V0IDWARE]

Nah it's the first. Devlog #0 was more of a status update on SS

[@Bigblackhawk123]

Glad to see it’s going in a survival game category. Those environments do not need to go to waste. Like seriously those dark areas with pillars everywhere? Fits way too well for a game like this

[@Victor-um9ce]

Feels like Blame! and I hope it goes in that direction more.

[@Atmatan]

Dev areas are always games' best liminal spaces. They all should be kept.

[@DiceRRoll]

I imagine that you will start in a zone that is very friendly for creatures to live in And then for example you can adventure in a more complex environment and you got to change your own creature to adapt whatever way you want This is so cool I want three games like this

[@dumaass]

@@DiceRRoll Like subnautica, but this. Would be fucking awesome. Would also be way too much to ask of a single person, so fuck that :/

Babe, synthetic selection devlog dropped

Dameless

[@Insanity_TM]

2:59 this is the best example of “OH F### OH SH## OH GOD GET ME OUT OF HERE”

[@sanddry738]

WOOOOOO! Just seeing the development and concepts is so fascinating. I did love the INSANE looking procedural bosses from the very first stuff before you even had this channel but it’s crazy to see how things changed. Best of luck with the continued development

[@yourlocalmoron153]

this is some of the coolest shit i've seen, please don't leave us after a few devlogs like Mythic Legion

[@idiotmiho]

that jumping wing transformation combo is the coolest thing ive seen

[@papakanas6472]

I KNOW I LOVE IT

[@jeffthepuppetYT]

A developer on KZbin who didn't instantly abandon their project? This is getting interesting.

[@unknao]

What do you mean? This looks pretty abandoned as it is.

[@Ciurk]

@@unknao?????

[@S0Laggy]

Hi I’m excited to see whats next it’s so cool! Edit 1: I am so confused on how you did this but I feel this will become the future of games. Ima stick around and see where this heads!

Same, I feel like this will become the future.

​@@derp__king6144eh, it was more of a status update.

[@Timlockwood8818]

I swear KZbin somehow knows when a channel is going to upload again. I always get recommended a video of a channel that hasn’t uploaded in a while not long before they upload again.

[@vicenteperez2136]

i love the idea of robot ecosystems from the start of the video up to here 0:24 really caught my attention at how things move so smoothly and animal like but knowing its made from small parts makes it crazy how fluid it is please keep up on the animations of this it makes things so beautiful to look at

[@ChayGrice]

I cannot fathom a AAA studio making a game like this, and I've not been more excited to see a dev log in a while! Bravo!

[@elysichord1489]

The first ten seconds of the video where the running creature morphs into the plane is all I needed to see. Amazing, fantastic, I’ll take fifteen of them right now

[@TheArachnidCompany]

Lets Go!! Some progress, i am so bloody hyped!!

[@M_1024]

This may be my favourite game when its finished

[@tylerhilpisch7850]

the creating and sharing their ideas is reminding of the old game Spore, loved that game

[@Ears_Vr]

I was just going back through my playlists and I checked if you posted anything and BOOM! 29 minutes ago! 😁

[@PedrobruceHF]

Wow, I saw the last devlog, but I didn’t think the system could make so many different things. This is a technical marvel!

[@Nikita-os6om]

I have been following this game since devlog 0 and it never ceases to amaze me with its awesomeness, I am very fascinated by the fact that it all works procedurally. Great work

[@streamers3554]

You’re the ONLY dev making all this? Dude wtf. I assumed at least 3-5 ppl were doing this

[@Atmatan]

Let's pay him enough to hire a team

[@joshualoiacono5488]

This is an amazing project! No expectations, just grateful you’re sharing this with the community cause it’s super inspirational and looks like a blast to play with! Thanks :)

[@Number_055]

It's amazing to see how far this project has come. I love the robotic insect designs that show up pretty frequently. Reminds me of a game I loved as a kid called Drone Tactics. Completely different gameplay (turn based tactics) but based around giant insect robots. Also, steam workshop integration for craft and module sharing would be amazing. Just saying.

[@CoqueiroLendario]

Oh damn I was testing out this game last week, Spent a good 40 minutes making a custom logo for the team and proceeded to fawn over every time the logo appeared on player phase

[@mysterioustree1402]

I feel like this is Spore's creature stage but reimagined for a very technical player base and I'm all here for it. Looking forward to the next dev log!

[@LeoIsAStudent]

NEW UPLOAD FINALLY🎉🎉

[@ThantiK]

I've been watching you for what feels like years now. It's wonderful how far you've come.

[@axellenhart7890]

Damn man it's good to see you!

[@waaarum]

This game looks soo awesome! Really need to try it :D love everything about it Great work!

[@Shramdon]

Yo another dev log🎉

[@boundaryegg1384]

wow, this looks so cool, i love the idea of the creatures adapting to the player like imagine if every run has different enemies for every player that would be so unique. :)

[@cyborghunter2.093]

LETS GOOO ANOTHER DEV LOG

[@deneb3525]

This looks pretty cool. definatly looking forward to what you do with it.

[@VrPlayer15829]

LESGOO SYNTHETIC SELECTION DEVLOG!!!

[@dns8207]

I think as a programmer and game dev, what you're doing is beyond good. Like integrating procuderal animation, with crafting new vehicles and even like being able to share them is insane. Props to you man, i can't wait to play this game.

[@0hmeg4]

Let's go its back

[@TheGreegles]

This is my first impression of your work, and i'm absolutely blown away! I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@ingostar317]

FINALLY. So good to see you are still allive, i love your ideas !

[@Skeltoen]

Love your ideas for the soapstone creature sharing, will continue to support you even if you are working on it part-time. I support cool little creative games. Also love the music gives me Reassembly soundtrack vibes.

[@Sincuttiere]

We are all likely excited for this--as we should be. This is both exciting and frankly, phenomenal

[@NecyarUnáty]

I cannot wait for this game to release. Being able to programm the parts of your robot, attach their activation to the key pressing is an amazing idea, so many possibilities to discover and create!

[@liluclash]

this is such a cool project, you can tell this is going to be a BANGER when it comes out

[@Microplay-Interactive]

Waited for soooo looooong for this devlog . Finally!!❤❤ Honestly i thought we will never get any other update.

[@dartman8226]

i do hope for this to come out soon this seems very fun and the work you put in it it looks great keep up the good work

[@Jmax978]

Duuuuude, the 2nd devlog is finally here! I can't wait for more information about synthetic selection!

[@PixelMan324]

I can barely wait for this game I love building and customizing, especially vehicles or weapons but this game includes a bit of both! Good job man keep up the great work and I hope your game is going well.

[@vignesh306]

This just became my most anticipated game with 2 devlog videos

[@MAVWSD]

Ive been waiting so long for someone to make a game like this. Infinite possibilities for building and coding plus survival missions and procedural generated mobs. actual masterpiece in the making

[@alefet.8861]

the hype your project creates on me is HUGE! please keep up!!

[@pedrocassenote4996]

I really like the categories of players that you came up with. It's vital for a sandboxy game to allow the player to use the tools that want to use in the way they want to use.

[@Atticus_Moore]

Subscribed. I'm so happy this is still being developed

[@ancientindigo2868]

This, 4d miner, and 4d golf, are hands down the COOLEST indie games ive ever seen. This stuff so cool! (It'd be neat to see a 4d synthetic selecton game in VR, in the future)

[@perryneum778]

Omg THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE‼I've been obsessed with the idea of procedural animation, ecosystems, evolution and artificial intelligence in a videogame for freakin ages, and from the impression like the potential and epicosity of this project is like above and beyond my dude. Unfortunately I have abysmal dev skills but I will do anything I can to help you playtest, share around to people who might be interested, etc. 👏🙌Fully Sick❣!!

[@jessicafriesen5769]

I would love this game to be like a mix of Minecraft open world and evolution where are you fight something you go away for a minute go back and all the sudden they have wings

[@LUNCHWARS]

I’m really glad my 7 segment display node graph was put into the devlog. If you’re wondering, it’s the one at 1:20.Still disappointed my calculator didn’t make it into the video though

[@coolepic519]

i love this game so far. i have too much anxiety to try and go for an alpha test build rn but im excited for this

[@carlosa.a.1007]

I love evolution simulation games, since you get a glimpse of how the process works in real life. Combined with procedural generation, the potential seems HUGE. Keep going! The game looks awesome!

[@shlooploop6827]

i saw the first video i was so overwhelmed and after a while i just thought that maybe you stopped working on the project and now after watching this video and literally having chills and an increased bpm with my heart im gonna tommorow pay to the patreon, im so excited.

[@amodius2207]

This… is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Will be supporting when I’m not broke

[@nolhanmangin5939]

Imagine this game having coop, the sheer ammount of possibilities of having 2 players each with thier own build that fits with one another really makes me want to play this game

[@Andre_Sargeant]

I love the idea of being able to find creations while exploring similar to soapstone messages

[@dreamradgames]

This isn't just a game bro, 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Its in a league of its own, This will cause massive shifts in the innovation space when it comes to game dev and engineering 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 cant wait

[@calebgilbertyt]

Honestly, i can imagine this game being used in school to teach about the component based aproach to design or something along those lines. Im super happy that you kept the complex nature and didnt decide to dumb it down, this game is going in a great direction!

[@not_Shade]

I feel guilty for not knowing about this amazing project until now, I cannot stress enough how absolutely incredible this looks. Much love

[@FPSRayn]

I've been waiting for a sequel Dev log for ages. Glad we got one.

[@abloogathelawyer4477]

I can safely say I have never reached for my wallet faster on ANY project. A lot of these indie projects like to overpromise and underdeliver, keeping certain things behind closed doors. With the alpha, though, it's quite clear you've got something real special cooking with this one. Keep up the good work!

[@cedrikgalaxy5495]

update on the game lets goo, ive been looking for it for a while now happy to see it being continued

[@tornado3007]

please keep going. it is a very cool approach to evolving enemys and creation building. its one of my favorite game prototypes right now

[@clusterflood]

i've legit been wanting a game with this sort of premise for ages this is the peakest of peak

[@CrafterVSWild]

YES YES YES YES I've been waiting for this kind of game/concept for a long time now!

[@charger1369]

That creation sharing is the glue that makes this work.

[@UndertalefanH]

Every Monday I check this channel, and finally its here.

[@ServedDinner]

I am absolutly amazed by this game concept especially as a programmer and former Spore enthusiast i would Love seeing this game grow and love to help

[@MichaelNash-ok6ow]

you have no idea how insane this game will be if you follow through with what you say, just from these 2 devlogs it looks incredible.

[@voidbane6669]

I'm so excited to see where this project goes it looks amazing and I hope to be able to play it someday keep up the good work man

[@GP22855]

Finally bro I was starving and sick until this came out

[@utahraptor1578]

I could watch the different things in this game change and evolve for hours

[@alterscore]

Loved this game since the first devlog. Cant wait to see where it goes.

[@Voyded-wj5rd]

I remember seeing devlog 0, and the game has definitely come quite the distance between the 2. This game looks really interesting, very few games even dive into the possibilities of procedurally generating anything, so seeing an entire game based around it, and in 3D, astonishes me. If the game feels too plain, maybe add something like a campaign, sorta like Rainworld does, in which it somehow makes a challenging game have a fetch quest, and do it extremely well. Maybe also allow for people to make their own maps, in a challenge mode way or in a sandbox way, as this can keep the community alive and almost always changing. Hope all goes well, and I can’t wait to see more from this, as many others probably are as well!

[@joerarey8496]

saw the dev log 0 and looked at steam within 3 seconds fully ready to pay 20 to 45 dollars for this game. cant wait for it to release. best of luck

[@MrMe-xq9kx]

This game looks and sounds cool, I wish you the best of luck in the production of this game.

[@RightClickGamers]

Games like Gmod and From The Depths have always given me the most joy. I can't wait to see where this goes!

[@DavidGonzalezArias-rj5vj]

Its so amazing only one developer is working on this, i hope the full release gets the recognition it deserves

[@tunn3l_personal]

Ambitious, creative and technical - exactly my cup of tea!! wow! As for the npc adaption through evolution: If they mutate and evolve based on player actions, I predict it being a very slow progress, slower than whats going to be engaging.

[@ryanpagelow660]

Dude, this is incredible. I don't know what magic you used to create this but I honestly cannot wait until I can play this game. I know from experience it is hard to stay motivated on game projects and I just want to say you got this!

[@spongemanicecone2736]

Something about the sight of the debug ball was so endearing, i name him lorb

[@Pdasniper]

I'm a sucker for such musical hooks in the beginning of the video. I'm immediately invested

[@ZackLee]

As an old Robocraft veteran.. I am soo happy this game exists, really captures how Robocraft was when it still had that lightning in the bottle. Also you already know im going to build a drone :D

[@terrencett6117]

We need pvp in this. It would be so cool to see different creations going against each other!

[@goldfishmentality]

I'm obsessed with this concept already. It's dripping with potential

[@arihellna4447]

Очень классно выглядит и чувствуется, буду с нетерпением ждать обновлений! Креатива Вам и вдохновения!

[@Xneuz]

Concept looks exceptional. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. :)
