1 year of progress on my game

[@CodeBullet]

This game is actually looking so sick, keep it up

[@nrxtfwd]

Wow! Hi code bullet

[@daviddelayat-dnapictures]

Please implement some API functions with a lot of data accessible so that CodeBullet can train pseudo AI on it. (and not have to recreate the game)

[@Guthri]

ah

[@jackstar-o4728]

Dam code bullet is slacking off where is your new vid 😢❤

12:07 "I'm not really satisfied with the menu art" This is a joke right? RIGHT? Seriously that parallax is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. Love your different approaches that you took an level generation over time, it feels like tis is the pinnacle of it.

[@1gammis]

yeah I was also thrown by that comment, love the menu art!

[@SombreroMan716]

Never realized how GOOD the art looks. It’s just so nice.

[@pre3mium]

Yea the art is amazing

[@joelbentzen6542]

I'm doing a degree apprenticeship to become an electrical engineer at the moment and I always get disheartened that I never professionally persued a career making video game. Seeing your videos and seeing that it's possible to work as an electrical engineer full-time and also makes games fills me with so much hope. Thank you man Keep being AWESOME!

[@danilodjuric]

Not only does the gameplay look great, art and music are really amazing! But I am the most impresed how with all of this, your videos are so well paced and edited. You are very underrated, and I hope the game and your youtube channel get all the success you deserve!

[@umbreonic136]

Glad to hear an update! Everything seems to be moving on well. I always look forward to the updates.

[@gretelbee]

I love these progress videos! Its so fun to see the behind the scenes of a game. It makes the game feel like theres already a community being built, even though its not even in beta testing yet.

[@thebe_stone]

I really like the direction this game is going. I think it would be cool if you added hats. They could be gotten through achievements, or you could make a base hat item that is fused with other items to make hats. If you do add hats, can you make one of them a potato hat? I did the math, and it turns out games with potato hats sell 3x more copies than games without potato hats, so it would also be a great business decision.

[@_Snout_]

Well he has a helmet

[@delay6171]

@@_Snout_ could make something like the vanity slots in terraria

[@k1ng_chicken]

Hats just make things better period

[@carrot_z7345]

Make one of the hats a carrot please

[@jonathanstanelle4607]

Just don’t add ponchos!

[@NootNoot76]

Dude this game is just getting better and better, I am so excited to play it, it has such character and potential.

[@thepersonofhuman]

wawaweewa, good job this seems like it will turn out fantastic

[@redstoner1583]

The item collect sound is more satisfactory than the Minecraft one🤯

[@pineapplefork7481]

so I want to say that I've been around for a long time (so my wishlist is one of the older ones) but I'm still around and I am loving the way this game is turning out! Honestly, the music is what gets me the most excited because it's so lively and brings so much interest to the atmosphere of the biomes. I love the art too. I think that the game has really come along way and I can tell that it's definitely shaping up to have its own unique style. Obviously this style was there before, but now it seems way more cohesive and I'm super proud of you for managing to get this far. This video has gotten me excited to see some more of the gameplay and I hope that there will be a variety of exploration based and story-based quests for players aren't the biggest fans of combat. I also hope to see some accessibility and difficulty settings in the future for players who are keen on the exploration and adventure side of the game, but not so much on the combat one. I am so excited for an early release of this game even if I don't end up playing it at first. I feel like just showing more gameplay and doing a couple of spotlights will definitely increase interest on your game. If you're already at 19 K wishlists, I can only hope that what comes from now on will simply be loved by the obvious quality of the game and the love that has been put into making it a cohesive experience.

[@AIAdev]

W video per usually. Genuinely excited for this game

[@ChuckSploder]

0:43 that description is literally Core Keeper

[@Bombani]

This game looks adorable

[@codelinx]

Music is nice. Art is clean, and explanation of code is 🤩

[@zeltli2.016]

Wow, your game development journey is truly inspiring! The progress on the multiplayer goblin game is impressive, from the enhanced map generation to the captivating music by Ricardo. It's great to see the dedication to improving loading times and multiplayer functionality. Excited about the future additions like new biomes, bosses, and enemies! Keep up the fantastic work! 👏🎮

[@SARclips_Official]

Amazing growth excited to see more!

[@lilpenn7516]

Small critic: The desert theme sounds more like a spy movie theme song then a dessert theme to me. The Trumpet thing sounds deserty but the rest of the instruments sound like I'm sneaking into top secret facility. It still sounds good and it's a very minor complaint but it doesn't sound like what you're going for IMO.

[@mr.niceguy9394]

Finally! love these updates. Sure to buy on release!

[@mio_zak]

Sooo inspiring ! As a web dev, game development seem very dense and difficult. But seeing all that you achieved alone brings a lot of motivation ! Keep it up :)

[@alvin_row]

Looks great! I know there's always a bunch of the more "boring" progress that doesn't make it to the devlog (together with all the bugfixing), so the fact that you have all of this to show says a lot! Even when there's so much still yet to do, what you have looks incredibly polished.

[@Weirdmacaroni]

im so excited to try your game!

[@CaptainTeeth]

you know it is a good day when watt uploads

[@Matt-cq1oz]

This looooooooooooks so good ❤❤❤ P.S. I think if your adding a story maybe from beating humans you can find a key or a map to where the humans are from as the endgame you defeat like their king idea I made thought was cool

[@chasrobinson4493]

This is so exciting to stumble on. I love this style of game, and cant wait to see where you take it.

[@shcade8926]

I love this! The sound effects, The art and music is just so comforting

[@moonstar_connor]

Just wishlisted, looks awesome! As a software engineer learning game design, would love to hear more about your journey from EE to game dev!

[@hawkadventures3704]

I have been following your progress for a while, always click on your videos right away when I see a new post! Not only does the game look really fun but you are great at editing videos, they have good flow

[@carsonhawley8838]

I'm an old wishlist and I'm still very excited for the game 😉. Been quietly watching since some of the first devlogs. Love to theme and the fun twists to common mechanics like fishing and animal husbandry. It's really starting to come together now!

[@allenbosire8890]

This looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see more; definitely wishlisting and liking, subscribing. All the things! 😄

[@jaydenkirkham9544]

Genuinely so excited for this game!! It looks like it’s gonna be so fun and I can’t wait to play with friends :)

[@wilsonzanus9652]

Amazing job, so excited for the game.

[@mehmetalisecgin8255]

That main menu to multiplayer scene transition got my jaw to drop! Amazing work, really excited to see what's waiting for us when it will be released.

[@GameHypeStudios]

Looking great so far!! Best of luck as you continue!

[@fatguyinthemix]

love it man thanks for your hard work

[@lohostege]

The music is pretty good, i say almost onpare with Terraria, Stardew, and MC

[@quincius8638]

really glad to see you added some vertical mixing dynamic music (vertical mixing is when you have an established theme that has different versions dependent on situations in game for those who don't know) I think horizontal mixing would be awesome as well (which is when you have seamless transitions between tracks as opposed to fading in and out or stopping and skipping) I do also understand that that is probably a lot of transitions to compose so i understand if it isn't possible

[@ghostpotato0808]

Jesus, that project is huge. Props to you for keeping motivated.

[@brandonjacksoon]

Really good sfx, I like it! Sounds very good!

[@theendisneer3159]

This video really made my day! I'm super excited to see progress and improvement. Looking forward to the playtesting phase, too bad it won't release on Mac though :(

[@awsmeanthony]

Steam is on mac and his game will be on steam. AKA yes it will be on mac.

[@StaveDate]

Wow, impressive wishlist numbers! Keep up the good work!

[@bjornhamramr2229]

This game looks like an absolute blast. Can't wait for it to come out!

[@maxmeaks2515]

I am soooo looking forward to this game!!! I’m definitely gonna try to get my friends to at least look at it, as they really love terraria and core keeper. Cant wait to hopefully try it out in early access!!

[@aliciachadwick6724]

Genuinely really excited for when this game is out It looks incredible!

[@stephenho4399]

I love the art at first look! Look forward to it

[@galavaria36]

It looks like it is really coming together! Congrats on all the wishlists

[@tadeaspliska6680]

Im genuinely so excited for this game, cant wait for it to come out!

[@mohwalex9]

I love the music! Seeing this game really coming to life has given me much inspiration to keep up my own development journey. Thank you so much, and I can't wait to see where Isle Goblin goes in the future!

[@humble-hedgehog]

Can't get enough of the map generation deep dives, super excited for what's to come!

[@Phillip_Duck]

I love the sound effects! They're so cozy and fun!

[@lmanproductions8680]

The sound effects are phenomenal. The music too. That digging sound is so satisfying. The game looks great!!

[@batydoo591]

0:33 I hope the little goblins are going to be able to explore lots of these dungeons in the final game xD

[@carloscadori7086]

I love to see this much dedication on a project, that's amazing! Also great musics

[@Sirpotato21]

This reminds me a lot of the survivalists and that’s a very good thing

[@McGizzleYT]

im hype for ur game man cant wait to play it !!!!

[@isaiahross1392]

Your sound design for the simple effects are honestly really good. The thump when placing walls was super satisfying!

[@JuneVũ-f8q]

i love your devlogs and the game

[@kartopod]

The project is taking shape! Awesome progress so far! Wishlisted :D

[@ALemonGoneRogue]

this feels like my dream game, I can't believe how this is going! good job:)

[@thekiwiman]

This looks super polished and well done! I can only imagine how good it would look at release.

[@noise_dev]

I love every single thing about your vlogs man. I am looking forward to see your game getting finished!

[@aSoftPotato]

Happy to see the progress again!! Been waiting, awesome as always! Keep up the incredible work!

[@danesmith624]

Amazed by how much is in this game! great job

[@oliverchandler1072]

Seems great. Good job Ricardo, the music sounds amazing, especially the forest theme!

[@menitoon]

Your journey is awesome I wish I had the same, you motivate me to be as good as you ! Thank you :D !!!

[@heartwick_thehalfdemon]

Very excited, I can’t wait to stream it.

[@joehagun3956]

Its indeed been a long time! Seeing a game combining aspects of my all time favorite games be built from scratch was incredible! I hope there could be more stuff focused around the npcs,like getting them to do tasks or interact and etc.

[@mamt0m]

sounds are great. looks and sounds amazing man

[@wilfsutton1047]

Keep up the good work man! Feels like yesterday this whole thing started!

[@RosemaryWilliams49fruits]

I really enjoy the color palettes you're using, they feel really nuanced and evocative for me in a kind of nostalgic way. Also really enjoy the artwork you've done for the trees and grass in particular, and the sound effects feel like a game. They're not stand out amazing, but that also means they don't feel out of place, like they're too much, or wrong, but in fact "feel right" or as expected for the game actions you showed, so it's beginning to feel quite polished. It's easy to go crazy with sound effects or visuals and end up with something that is exhausting to look at, or gets really tiring and annoying to listen to when it's overdone, so kudos on getting those sounds in a good place. The music feels quite nice too, very thematic. Exciting progress for sure, hope you can decide on and get implemented a core game loop soon. I think the core game loop kind of defines whether or not someone is going to be interested in buying the game, aside from aesthetics, because it's the big sell on what you can expect to do in the game, and what the goals and rewards are, and figuring out how those challenges and rewards scale for the player will also be how to keep the player interested and engaged, while story, and side objectives can help add to the interest and potential replay-ability along with steam badges/rewards/accomplishments and things like that. Excited to see where you go next.

[@Rafal_Phoenix]

i love it and cant wait for the full game

[@claramariamarinescu9164]

ahhhh Im so excited it looks rlly good Ive been watching you since your first video on this and i cant believe how much its grown

[@Stoniye]

I just got this video recommend, and it's very impressive what you have done in one year, i realy love the art style of the game, it fits perfekt. I will definitely follow you gamedev journey from now on!

[@Raggune]

Every time I see the development of this game I get super excited, I can't wait to try it out

[@decarrioden3445]

Coming together so well

[@noahoaks9272]

Wishlisted after seeing one of your old videos but I haven't been keeping up with progress. Everything looks awesome in this video, can't wait for it to release!

[@HeroOfyourDreams]

Added to wishlist! I’ve been following along with the series and it has inspired me to start dev games. Keep up the great work!

[@Betruet]

Your game is looking fantastic. I'll be watching for more. Congratulations 👏

[@AGoodGuyOnTheInternet]

Looks fun! I'll definitely try it.

[@atcer51]

that game is a masterpiece

[@LePencilNecks]

First time seeing your vids, this game already looks so good. Sound design and soundtrack are both also awesome. Just added to my wishlist.

[@hyphe1337]

The menu art is awesome It's really cool seeing this project getting more and more content every few months Really gets me hyped for the demo release

[@wesselboers1100]

The way you make these videos with the little cute goblin drawing is fantastic. This game genre isn't typically my things, but your videos are just soo fun. Makes me want to try the game out when it releases. Keep it up 👍

[@ThatPinkPotat]

This is something I did not know I needed until now! I love the shmoll goblins!

[@marcboss]

The art and the music are sooo good, and it look very interesting

[@Hydro-ci1iy]

this is a really cool game, and honestly it relates to a lot of my style in games, i like top-down survival games with exploration, resources, etc. i even had small fantasy of creating my own game kinda like this, but holy it looks complicated lol

[@ignis1811]

I liked the random pop culture references thrown in xD As well as the map loading times animatic esq explanation, very cute.

[@Sweetreleasemusic25]

Super excited to see how far you take this! I really hope you implement some kind of magic

[@lokkrip]

the art is amaaaazing! I love how the world looks :)

[@arcabplays7432]

Your games is soo interesting... Can't wait to try it!

[@SecondsGuess]

Seems like a lot of effort went into this game! Good luck with your channel and your awesome game!

[@Srcsqwrn]

This looks really cool! I came by because I'm learning game dev stuff, but I actually wanted to play the game when I found out it was a little base building game with friends! Co-Op is so important to me lately. I really hope there's a good amount to base building. Reasons to build things, and cosmetic changes and such, or I hope it's the plan. I have ideas on what the game is like, but I suppose I'll see when it releases. I'm personally trying to make my own big game, and it's very overwhelming. The amount of things to learn is so high! Just watching this video is a bit intimidating! Of course in the between bits I'll be trying to make some small games just to get the hang of things~

[@baloubanou403]

I am so excited for this game it looks awesome!

[@GreenFieldBlueSky]

Amazing work, this looks really great already. Here's some random thoughts I had while watching. I love the idea of smashing the pollutant thing to summon a horde of enemies, it reminds me of terraria events like the goblin army. The one potential problem I see with it is that in terraria the enemy army would travel to your base, but here you're the one traveling to the enemy base. I might be understanding wrong but it seems like the human enemies spawn once you smash the pollutant, which makes it confusing why they didn't attack earlier. This doesn't necessarily need to be fixed, but if you did, one potential fix I can think of is if the human base was a lot larger, almost like it's own biome with walls, watch towers, barracks, dormitories, a kitchen, etc. The pollutant would be at the center, and you'd have to sneak through to get to it (I'm imagining old ben Kenobi switching levers in the death star). If someone sees you, it could be kind of like the bokoblin horn in breath of the wild except that only other humans within a certain radius hear, but once you destroy the pollutant then everyone is alerted to your presence and you have to fight them all as they enter whatever room you're in. There could be more heavily armored guys in the barracks, nimble archers in the watchtowers or on the walls, maybe even a cook in the kitchen who tries to smack you with a frying pan if he catches you, and more. That would make the enemy camp infiltration more dynamic and allow for different playstyles because you could choose to either take out some guards before you destroy the pollutant, making it easier when everyone is alerted to you, or you could sneak straight to the center and fight all the enemies at once. Also you could put human camps next to lakes and/or rivers and have the pollutant be causing the water nearby to be green or brown, like the painted lady episode of avatar the last Airbender. And then instead of destroying the single building that represents the pollutant, you could flip a lever that stops the flow of waste into the lake or something similar. Then taking over the camp has more of an impact on the environment and you can see the world returning to nature as you conquere the island. Also at one point you hit a slime with a spear and it looked like the spear was leaving your hands, I think it might look better if the spear was longer

[@ImOnioned]

You have great taste lol

[@Lynqoid]

Looking great, congratulations on all the hard work paying off!

[@zuma4450]

stumbled upon this and got me mad interested in developing, keep up the work

[@ginger_boi]

Love these videos! Thank you for the transparency, it's so refreshing. SO looking forward to playing this!

[@guillermogetino7550]

Loooks preeety good!!! Can't wait to see more! Good luck!

[@maxim_me_]

I just discovered this game with this video and its fire. Keep it up Im sooo hype to play it
