I still admire the fact tgat you started from scratch, i think its very bold and impressive! I always use your beautiful thumbnails as reference btw, they are very well made

[@timberdev]

Thank you :D

[@JaredWyns]

I'm so happy to see the squash & stretch on the pc ☺️ Awesome continued work on this!

[@Alkaliii]

Very cool, the art is so clean.

[@kevindonthaveid4389]

I already feel this is gonna be an addicting game

[@tornado3007]

i favorite Devlog series right now, please keep going I really like the art style of the game and the mechanics.

[@smartypantscarter1416]

Nice background music in the video!

[@Criares]

BRO I was rewatching your devlog series yesterday, LETSGOOO NEW VIDEOO!!

[@VladyVeselinov]

Very high quality work, love it

[@gdfk_dev]

Wow, how long we haven't seen you :) Welcome back!

[@fruytdev]

Omg I love your videos so happy you didn't disappeared

[@P1Ckl31]

YES! I LOVE THIS GAME! i missed it so much ;)

[@annosurkjau3107]

He's back. He again sounds 3 years older plus speaks better english. I like that you keep doing what you (hopefully) enjoy. Great Videos btw.

[@johannbauer2863]

Just started on using bevy, found your video a year ago and turns out, there is a new video after a year :O

[@sensin0]

Thanks for the video, I have a suggestion for your game: You can add a breath bar like in Minecraft and it will decrease when you are in water and increase when you are in air. I think it will strengthen the loop.

[@Ahmadeid09]

Bro, Your Game and this Thumbnail/Editing is Amazing, Keep up the good job, I wish to see this game on the top of steam .

[@geo4854]

Good to see you back.

[@obvbeans]

after 2 years of looking for this game and channel again you finally uploaded a video ty

[@mooncandlelight3968]

Yes, new video! I missed you!

[@supertenchoo4271]

Am happy to see you back

[@Joris-l5r]

Oh my god, bro returned from the dead! Out favourite gamedev is back with another video! Great progress on the game, please keep us updated

[@metaphoricallyspeaking]

Your channel is one of my favourites - and a huge inspiration behind starting my own channel! I binged everything you'd uploaded when I discovered it last year. Arbalest also looks great and I'm looking forward to playing it.

[@FTWRahul]

Really cool video, I like the direction the game is going. I did think the ending was a bit abrupt though, hehe

[@hamsoft23]

Nice to see you again

[@mehmeh8883]

Insane editing

[@donefunrunning]

keep it up! excited to see more and even more excited to play it!

[@tuvshinbayarmandakh7035]

A LORE UPDATE??? Bro was cooking this entire time!!! I was worried for absolutely no reason. (I thought you were not coming back like Dani)

[@maximsemenov9280]

I played game called Beacon. One cool and memorable feature it has was health pickups. Besides generic medkits there were all kinds of strange fruits and even insects and critters that restore health when eaten. The Void in your game sounds like an ecosystem, would be great if health boxes won't be the only source of healing

[@rolandmask4317]

Bro, what font did you use in this video? real nice choice and good vid!

[@travisc8406]

Awesome! I really love your art style, and the game is looking great!

[@Skeffles]

Great to see where the game is going! I'm curious to see what you think of the gameplay loop. Going to mine something but then having to wait every time sounds slow. Perhaps it's not so much when playing As for health, it sounds like you're on the right track. I'll suggest an healing item that can heal you over time, as a middle ground between the systems you discussed.

[@sossym4t339]

OMG UR BAAACK! FINALLYY

[@Ech_The_Sentiant]

We are so back. Fantastic devlog! Also, it would be pretty cool to see a giant worm boss fight or enemy. It could force players to constantly transition between air and water to get away from it. Also, we need more giant worm propaganda.

[@timberdev]

Yea, giant worms are always awesome!!!

[@SSuser-go7jm]

He’s back!

[@LonelyTurtle-xd5yb]

Finally back

[@caiwitt5456]

finally back!

[@S.m1cha3l]

He. Is. Back. 🔥

[@Littleraven0801]

The hollow knight method is a good idea

[@gavinlacefield5498]

Hey I love your videos, and the game looks great but may I suggest something. Due to the camera being so far out most of the different enemy types are hard to distinguish I think a way to fix this is to do what you had planned in one of the original iterations of your game with different enemies having different vibrant colors. That’s all, still love your videos, have a good day!

[@copperdevs]

hell yeah

[@mojojojo6535]

Time to give scope creep. You said in void different species etc. so it would be cool to make enemies attack each other (your blue could make like green enemies and orange etc or the different tyoes of enemies attack each other. - the colour option allows allies and all blue good) As for health. Deathlink makes it so you have armour that regenerates like a resource but health never regens which could be interesting as your never weak but you could always be 1 shot. It would be cool if after a certain chunk of health you gain an effect. All things to experiment with

[@skibblgame]

wait bro is back

[@unknowngobelin]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[@cocacodes]

Honestly I'd love to see the playable character being like a invasive species, and the environment slowly hinting at you that you are causing a ecological collapse.

[@timberdev]

Yes, that's kinda what I'm going for! The player's species is destroying the natural habitat of the other creatures.

[@JJ-lo1hv]

I see, so that what you been doing.

[@hairiclilred]

neat!

[@Autism3.0]

make a beta or smnth i want to play this shit this looks awesome also are there other living arbalists or are you the last one? would you see others in the game or corpses of them or something?

[@thecoweggs]

HES BAXCK

[@dahim1172]

DUDE HHOW UR VOICE CHANGED SO FAST IN ONLY 4 YEARS

[@crazy5948]

Dude, i love those swirling particles, how did you do that???? Edit, the custom mesh generation thing is extremely impressive, do you have any plans of releasing some source code or doing tutorials of this?

[@timberdev]

I likely won’t release the exact source code but a tutorial might be a good idea. Im gonna have to clean up the code a bit because at the moment it’s a bit of a mess…

[@ratratguy]

not sure if youll see this, but i wanted to ask, what software do you use to create the art for your games? I really like this art style!

[@Kylazaur]

The way the video starts *chefs kiss*. What's the name of the background music?

[@timberdev]

Thanks :) The first song is called “Will 2 Pwr” by half.cool

[@Kylazaur]

@@timberdev Great song choice!

[@Astr0-227]

hey man love your videos , just wanted to know that are you still using bevy engine

[@timberdev]

Thanks and yeah, I still use bevy for the game!

[@Astr0-227]

@@timberdev it looks so incredible keep going man

[@eclipse6859]

Im curious, are you still using bevy? If so, what are you doing for the UI? Do you have a plugin, or did you roll your own UI with bevy_ui?

[@timberdev]

@@eclipse6859 Yes I’m still using bevy! I use bevy_ui currently. It’s a bit messy and not particularly nice to work with but it gets the job done for now.

[@Alpha-kt4yl]

Bro remembered his password

[@MoButt-qu2bh]

Bro, are you gonna release the game? Maybe on itch

[@aura_lol]

ultrakale?

[@RohanDaDev]

Make Boss plz

[@Ahmadeid09]

Hey Man If you want a fitting story play just shapes and beats.

[@Tuskbumper]

It's been far too long 😭
