when is your next video coming out? I'm so excited for whenever it does!
Mate, I like this series, why haven't you posted for a while?
Hey I found your absolutely amazing devlog after seeing your games name of the Let’s Break Games floorplan and I’m so happy I googled it. This game looks super nice already and I adore your art, hopefully I’ll get a chance to play it in between play testing
I can't believe this is how I found out my game was accepted! I need to check my Junk more often. Time to cram for the next week. Hope to see you there!
@@Absurd_Games_Studio lol glad I could help you with the reminder, hope to see you there
I just checked out your page. One Arrow Archer is a cool concept, and the trailer is so well done. Keen to see the game in action
@@Absurd_Games_Studioaww thank you I really appreciate it
Awesome update! It's kinda silly but I heard wombats have square poops to mark their territory haha. (so they don't roll away) Poo-push-able blocks? Or maybe a dig upgrade that lets them hide from enemies?
Great devlog! Imho S is better key for sinking than shift.
You're absolutely right! I was focussing on controller so much I forgot that it was down on Donkey Kong Country which I modelled it after. I'll change it in the next one
great work
Crazy wombat game, keep working on it and dont listen to that ominous deep voice talking over and over, this has potential
ngl this shit looks fire. Good luck on your game development journey!
I'd love to see the wombat roll to destroy some things or a level where you roll down a slope ploughing through things
I like that. I'll add it to the list!
will you lull me to sleep with wombat facts in your soothing voice
Is this a metroidvania if it has levels? Is it meant to be one or -vania in name is just for fun? Wombat facts made me think that having an invincible butt can be a fun mechanic.
I may have worded the explanation weirdly. It only has the one level. Some parts are just inaccessible until you obtain powerups. It's just a metroidvania but smaller. I like the butt idea and would like to try to work it into the gameplay
@@Absurd_Games_Studio ah, I probably was not paying enough attention. Nice little project. Good luck to you!
As your Wombat is critically endangered, maybe he/she should be rescuing the babies. (Is it joey for all marsupials?) It'll be interesting to see how the powerups work - hopefully this will distinguish it from being just a regular platformer
I really like that idea. I think having wombat babies as a collectable would be so cute. I'm not sure if it's 'joey' for all marsupials but I know wombat babies are called that. Thanks, if you have any powerup ideas, let me know!
Excited to see how this unfolds!
Thanks! So am I haha
awesome video. i like the history lessons mixed in 😆
Thanks! Researching it was fun too 😀
What engine is that?
unity
@@Fernandez0907 the runtime fee? yea. it's a shame and i think unity is a pretty shitty company but the engine is still really powerful and a great tool. plus, they revised the runtime fee to now be much more fair (though i still dont trust them because of the initial version of it)
It's Unity. And yeah, they've been shady recently, even if they did change it to be a little more fair, but it's still one of the most powerful and user-friendly engines for indie devs. I don't plan to sell any of these games anyway, but I do plan to try out different engines in the future
Awesome editting keep up the good work, looking forward to see what you create.

You're doing great work!
Combined with some random ideas in my head this is very inspiring! Ok, some relevant to game stuff: What about each door having a counter that is increased by using a key/pressing a button and decreased by releasing a button? That will fix problem with relocking the doors and will make implementing things like "hold at least n buttons on the level to open door" easier. And you can test for parity to make the door relockable. And you can make the counter a separate object to controll several doors. I have seen in one game portals implemented by tping everything on that tile at the end of the turn. So you need to exit portal yourself and if you can't or don't want to stay there you idle one turn and retrun back. I think it is easier to implement and can allow some fun thing (imagine going into a portal on a perfect turn to dodge a projectile). If you keep your aproach you need to delegate character interaction to tile after the portal.
Nice!
good job keep it up man❤
Great looking game! Loving the green 💚🟩💚
You might want to try the System.Collections.Generic List instead of ArrayList for storing values of the same type as they don't suffer the same performance overhead or type safety issues. You can also use properties to manage your get/set logic and avoid making a getter/setter method.
Immediately when you changed the character movement, I thought "spam all four directions in a circle pattern".
It's great you think about everything so holistically and well :D Keep it up~
Cool Devlog although a bit rough around the edges, especially liked that you actually show the code and explain how it works, good luck!
It's great to watch your videos. You became an inspiration for me to start developing my first game. I intend to record the process too, but so far I'm only working on paper drafts! Great work!
Thanks so much! That's awesome, you should definitely do that
What is the name of your game?
I don't have a name yet. Do you have any suggestions?
The best break from programming is to go watch someone else program. Looking good!
Thanks! I definitely agree
Lol I can absolutely relate to getting fixated on the art
Empty space is good, I suggest leaving at least 1 empty pixel on each side of your sprites. If you try adding outline effects in the game, you might run into this issue of your outlines bleeding into the nearby tiles. Also, that empty space gives you some wiggle room for animation.
I started to create a game in Godot without any experience in game development or coding. And It's a slow process. But a fun one! I really enjoyed this video. Keep the devlogs coming! Im sure that this game will turn out great once it finishes because it Is looking promising so far!
Wow Cool game your making right now
never losing hope bro
My vote between the two color schemes is for the gameboy-esque one. While I like the hue of the more yellow one, the contrast on the gameboy one is much better. And contrast is more important than hue when it comes to design. The gameboy one is less muddy and your eye is drawn more to the character (who is adorable btw)
Thanks for the detailed feedback! That's a good point, especially with such a limited palette and sprite size. I'll be sure to keep that in mind
We love a comeback
Awesome update! Love the new palette so far - everything's looking real clean.
Thanks! It's hopefully the last time I drastically change the art style. Which of the two new 5-colour palettes do you think is nicer?
Subbed to keep you motivated and keep those vlogs coming :) good luck!
Thanks! It's good to see a comment from another new indie dev. Good luck to you too :)
Awesome video! Really am liking the game concept and the game is coming along good. The mirror movement is spot on. Looking forward to your next devlog. Keep it up! :)
Thanks! I glad you like the concept. Hopefully I get into actually putting some mechanics in soon haha :)
Did you play Patrick's Parabox? Maybe that could be a nice reference for grid puzzles 🤔
I haven't, but I've been meaning to play it for a while now. Thanks for reminding me
Nailing the undo was nice. Are you up to date now, or is this still from a year ago?
Thanks, it was a little annoying without using a 2D array to store entity locations, but it was a fun challenge anyway. Nah, this footage is still from a year ago. I'm starting a new game in the next few days, though
Really cool moment when look at blank project. this is where all of it start. Good luck and have fun with the jurney. :)
Yeah, I love that moment. Almost more than actually finishing a game. Thank you, I appreciate it. :)
Love the vibe of the art in the game, heaps talented! Awesome work, super keen to see more! You're smashing these out so fast
Thanks! I specifically down-scaled the sprites so I wouldn't spend so much time on the art but here we are. The next art update changes things again (hopefully for the last time). Yeah, I know, I think I'll slow down now that I've got three out, though
Another great video! The game mechanic looks fun. It's got a very Baba Is You vibe so far, with the pixel dudes and the undo feature. By the way, is your TH-cam channel your only internet presence? Your brand is already so defined lol. I'm impressed.
Thanks again! Yeah, I love Baba is You (plus it meant I didn't have to have too much art experience). Yeah, this is it so far. I'm still very new to making videos, so that means a lot. I wanted to have a general overarching feel that links my videos
Im Forst watching!
I meant First
Haha good job. Also, love the profile pic
Quite interesting that you went 16x16 as a method of perhaps saving time and then seemed to spend longer trying to make the furniture work :) Interesting project though. What made you settle on using Unity. Given its recent fall from grace I'm trying Godot out... although it is a pain to move away from something you already know!
Hahaha that's because I didn't record the hours I spent on the first furniture sprites. This footage is over a year old though, I've come a long way. I'd love to try out Godot. It's next on my list of engines to work with. How are you finding it so far?
@@Absurd_Games_Studio I love how lightweight Godot is, you can run it on a potato and it'll still perform well, and having the inbuilt code editor is good. I have felt that I've been fighting with it, as there's lots I did in Unity that Godot wants you to do another way. Signal emitting rather than just finding a game object and telling it what to do and some odd effect from parent/child nodes to name a few. Early days on my project, but I'm getting through the issues so far
I'm learning so many new words!
So did I! haha

These are soothing and informative. Enjoying following along your process.
Thanks! That's exactly what I was going for
We love yappers
