What 2 YEARS of Unity Indie Game Development looks like...

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

Someone in my discord just showed me this and I must say this looks awesome, great work! Can't wait to give it a try!

[@sorinkoos9995]

[@BWDev]

Awesome! I'll send you a key when the game comes out 🙂

Here's to 2 more years 🍻 !

[@BWDev]

It'll be out by then!

[@BugaMarco]

We want devlogs for the updates as well!

[@emperorstorm3266]

@@BWDev hello, I would also like to say that you should make the game moddable by normal players please.

[@sad_man10]

@@emperorstorm3266 yes, mod support would be cool

[@Glyn-Leine]

@@BWDev maybe working on lumbermill 2 by then XD

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

I always love these videos condensing a long time in a short video, really highlights the power of consistency and how the main thing that matters is to keep at it one day at a time. Release date this year?

[@BWDev]

Thanks, and potentially! Not ready to announce anything just yet 👀

[@TackJum]

Yas!

[@notdonutsplace991]

i love these kind of these video's too they inspire me so much, btw just wanna say i love your tutorials they help me a lot if i ever needed any tutorial i code to you or brackeys

[@DesignsByMario]

The progress you've been making is great! Following the development of Lumbermill trough these videos has been really interesting and I can't wait till the full release!!

[@MashUpGames]

So cool seeing this project grow! Can't wait to play it when it comes out

[@placeholdergames6020]

I've been following your series since almost the beginning! Let's hope we have a lot more years of content like this!

[@ForestCinema]

Have you considered using rivers to move logs? It was common practice at one time, and could be an interesting feature. Probably it would be limited to fresh logs only, but perhaps it is faster and/or has more capacity versus other early-game modes of transportation? Maybe two core “buildings,” a drop-off point (there’s a real name for it,) and a sawmill which can be placed downstream which collects logs and mills them into lumber (probably powered by water wheel). It might be a simple and satisfying early-game or “starter” system that also encourages some interaction with the map geography.

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

For once KZbin actually notifies me less than 2 days late for a video. I thought I saw this a month ago, but it's only a few minutes old

[@HarryPorpise]

You probably saw the 1 year one, which had pretty much the same thumbnail and title

[@WS-xd4sd]

your comment reminded me of a progress update i'd seen about a year ago so I went back and watched it again. all i can say is i take my hat off to this guy for the quality he turns out week after week.

[@thaias9654]

Darn KZbin showing me this video exactly 2 days late

[@seerserric]

Yeah

[@GamesBySaul]

Congrats to 2 years! It's insane where you started with it and where it is now! Nice work :)

[@gladiator5365]

Dude you are a freaking inspiration for aspiring devs like myself

[@hindigente]

I've watched a few of your devlogs and boy, did the project come a long way. I look forward to playing it.

[@KowLoon-ul5iy]

i found you early 2020, and it is GREAT how much this game grew! Looking forward to play it someday!

[@lvlGhostlylvl]

Dev logs like this are so motivating. I can't wait to look back in 2 years and see how far I've come.

[@error17_]

Ive followed your progress since the beginning, and you are doing great!

[@brucec4130]

So excited to give this a try! I've added it to my wishlist on Steam! I hope all the best for you.

[@kcayos3970]

You're really talented man. Not only are you good with code but your also awesome at art, really looking forward to the game.

[@iqy5515]

The level of details in this game is just awesome! Keep up the good work man

[@thaias9654]

Seeing Dev Logs gives me huge amounts of inspiration. They are also suitably entertaining. I hope your game will see success and sustain your lifestyle.

[@mikemiller0830]

Looking at your work and your passion for this project made me smile. I don't quite know how to explain why. But, it just made me smile. Good for you. I'll keep an eye out for this game, one day! Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@amongthecreep3330]

I love the art style so much! Great work, I'm looking forward! I am also working on my own anime indie game at the moment :)

[@rpcheesman]

Saw this a long time ago and loved the concept. The underground system really added a lot to the idea of managing a mill. Wishlisted!

[@nextProgram]

Nice job Ben! Keep it up, it’s looking great

[@rad8078]

Holy crap, I remember watching the og video a few years ago and this just got recommended to me, i'm glad you put your all into this and are planning on releasing this game. I'll be sure to pick up a copy when it comes out and congrats on your progress so far.

[@oatcube3961]

I've checked on this project every once in a while. Love these videos where a long time is condensed into short time. In a couple of months marks the 1 year of my biggest project so far. Hopefully I'll manage to get a following for it also.

[@framebrain]

I love the work you are doing and your honesty in sharing the development process. Will buy as soon as available.

[@Reiqy]

When I came across this video, I was like "I just watched it few days ago, didn't I?" and that was the 1 YEAR of development video. Well, time sure does fly! Amazing progress, keep up the great work. It's definitely one of my favorite projects!

[@TheShelfman]

This is incredible. Once you take the time to think about all that you've done in a certain amount of time it hits you that you've been doing incredible. Well done! Can't wait to play it😁

[@Nick-Games9]

Congrats on the 2 years! The game is really coming along now!

[@rod-abreu]

Man the game is looking real amazing now, I love the new mechanics as I think the last time I saw your devlogs was back in 2019 or early 2020. I'm super excited to play the game, and actually now that you have it happening on islands, I guess port mechanics and water log transportation/export would fit the game really well.

[@DarkNymphAi]

Wow, I watched one of your first videos back then and completely forgot about it, you've come really far! Well done man. :D

[@LarryRouse]

I don't normally comment on things but I just wanted to say I discovered these videos yesterday and I'm so invested in this game already! Well done to you for all of this

[@sharky8303]

I remember seeing this at the start and completely forgot about it. Nice to see its a real thing now, and I'm excited to try it out!

[@isto_inc]

Amazing how quickly an entire year can just fly by! 🚀🚀 great to see that you’re making so much progress!

[@BWDev]

Thanks man! Looking forward to Atrio's next yearly review 👀

[@raredavid98]

This is amazing! I saw a comment in the video from someone in the first video saying "You've earned a new sub" and I'll retweet that, you've certainly earned another sub

[@lentez639]

I have never seen you channel or game before but thanks to youtube recommendations I saw this video and is super hyped for the game to realese. Keep doing what youre doing and the game will be turnout great!!!

[@BWDev]

Thanks, and welcome to the channel! 😁

[@ChloeWestern]

This is really impressive! I'm in my first year at uni doing Game Design and this is inspiring to watch. I'll be adding the game to my wish list.

[@TheMoneyManiacs]

so can't wait to buy it

[@sighera]

I've followed this from the beginning and I have to say that the progress is impressive. At the same time I wonder WHO THE HECK DISLIKES THIS GUY'S DEDICATION? Keep it going!

[@donsilver3728]

Hey, happy you are going to do it! Keep up the good work!

[@ecoppa6533]

It's looking great! I honestly appreciate these yearly videos. They do an amazing job at showing how far game has come.

[@DJGSonik]

I just found this video through my recommendations and I can´t wait to play it, looks awesome and exactly like something I would play for ages

[@mba4677]

Yoo this looks amazing!! I remember watching your 1 year devlog recap and it's my pleasure to see how much you have evolved, congrats!!! It's amazingly complex, which is to admire in a one person project. I really like the worker system and the island auto generation, not even SimCity has that so hooray!!!! Keep it up, man! Wish you the best!!

[@erictouw4455]

So cool to see the progress throughout this video!

[@acxr5138]

[@gaming_playground1]

looks very interesting I hope everything goes fine and game will release can't wait to play it

[@l.chappo8161]

some people take 9 years and many more than one person to make a game that comes out full of bugs. congrats on two years sticking to it, your passion shows and we are probably here more for dev than the release man. Well done

[@wolfftertainment4132]

You made such good devlogs. Informative, calm but also in a way entertaining 😊 I hope I can achieve just half as good of a devlog for my game 🙈

[@flameburngaming5684]

This game looks so fun I can not wait for it to come out!, Great work!

Sounds awsome, good luck dude!

[@lovfall642]

I'm am actually so exited for this game lmaooo

[@youshimimi]

Absolutely amazing progress and a lovely looking game. As a graphic artist, only thing that I don't like as much is that the trees and the ground have very similar colors and values, getting lost from a bit of distance. I will for sure be getting the game once it comes out!

[@cineblazer]

Heck yeah, can't wait for the next devlog!

[@CorinaVR]

Good job so far. Keep it up!

[@propellerjfk]

Kudos to this guy. Great work!!
