It's so common to look forward at all times that it's hard to look back and appreciate what we've already accomplished. Congrats on a bonkers year on TH-cam, it was really inspiring to follow along with the project. One of the most talented people I know
Thanks Thijs 🥹 right back atcha. You definitely played a part in all this! I don’t tend to look back much either, but I do feel like this was such a healthy exercise!
found your channel from the 5 game devs to X task or whatever and as soon as it got to your segment you where talking about memento mori and series of unfortunate events i instantly stoped and looked up your channel to watch your dev logs, love your channel
Good call to focus on what makes disinherited unique. What really makes your work special is the sheer creativity and artistic thought that goes into it. You don't just make a roguelike. You make one with an inspired setting, style, and counter-based combat system. It gives the concept and games a polish to them that makes them not just interesting from a "how was it made perspective" but also a "that's a really interesting and cool game perspective. Unlike the 20th pixel art Issic or enter the gungun-like game on game dev youtube.
Thank you for this! I do often forget/discount the setting and style in terms of how it sets itself apart, which is wild because it’s so important to me at the same time 🤪
Seeing your story unfold since i started watching after the 10K BTP challenge has been inspiring! Can't wait to see what 2025 brings to this channel and disinherited!
Glad you're back! I was afraid you'd gotten overwhelmed and pulled a Dani. Looking forward to the devlogs yet to come, and eventually arriving in the promised land, the release. Good luck of what is to come! We are cheering you on!
Great to see more content from you. It's been awesome seeing your channel blow up, probably the most deserving of all the Blackthornprod contenders I have watched over the last year or so. I genuinely look forward to where Disinherited is going this year, it is a lot of fun so far to play.
With the incredible quality of your work, I'm genuinely surprised that you have less than 1M subscribers. You're talented in so many areas and deserve to be recognized for it.
Aww thanks Tardi-great. :) that’s so kind. Maybe we’ll get there eventually, but honestly even if there were *no* more growth, I’m already beyond content 😄
I'm really hyped for 2025, even when taking a tiny step back from being online 24/7 on your discord. You definitely enrich the gamedev-youtube-scene for all of us ❤
Yessir! You definitely deserve all the love and support. I remember talking to you and seeing your drive and positive personality. Shows a lot in your videos. Proud of you my friend. Happy new year!!
Having met you before your journey began and watching you go through this entire process, I'm so proud of you and all that you've managed to accomplish. I don't know how you manage it all. Truly inspirational.
You’ve been there since the eaaaaarly days. Tbh I am barely managing it at the moment, but maybe soon I’ll be able to take a breath (I say for the 30th consecutive week) I’m very much looking forward to your programming patterns video, it’s gonna be an all-out banger
Hello Dryden! First off I think you are a super cool person and developer and absolutely love your work! I'm here from the BlackthrornProd channel after watching a few videos that had you involved in them and I just really thought you stood out, your work is super unique and just really darn polished which I absolutely love. Your music is breathtaking and the depth to your work and visible passion is incredibly inspiring making me want to continue forward and push to work on my own projects more. I notoriously get engrossed in new projects but commonly fail to finish them as I get burnt out from my already existing game engineer job. However, I've recently had massive bursts of motivation to get back to work on one of my latest projects thanks to watching what you do and am incredibly thankful for that! Really looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future and maybe if I work hard enough I could participate in fun community projects just like you. On a final note, I look forward to Disinherited and any other future games you will bring out whether it be on your own or with a team, Happy Gamifying! Kind Regards From, A burnt out engineer who aspires to make games that puts a smile on others faces
First time I saw you was in the Blackthornprod challenge, where you almost won. I find the music that you compose really good and your design decisions in the challenge were smart. So that’s how you got a new subscriber, hope you get way more, because you deserve it.
I’ve been here since your memento mori challenge on blackthornpod, I loved your game and instantly subbed- I was so engrossed in the daily Friday vids it was awesome to see your journey.
So excited to see where Disinherited goes next! I finally graduated from Steam Deck to PC, which means I can finally try out the demo haha excited to check it out!
Your story is so inspiring! As for now, I can only dream of doing something like what you're doing. But my plan for 2025 is to push myself out of my comfort zones and see where it leads me :)
Thank you for all the amazing videos and I'm looking forward to more! Though I'll probably never play Disinherited (it looks great, it's just not the type of game I enjoy) you are the devlog creator I enjoy watching the most and I think that says a lot about your qualities as a creator. I love how you share your experiences and seeing your game develop and grow.
Y’know even though I’m really in this more for the game than the videos, it means a lot that there’s value in the sharing of the process too! Thank you :)
@@LighthoofDryden Oh, I totally get that. I'm sure you're also reaching a lot of people that just love the genre and can't wait to play the game. The art and music is amazing and it looks fun!
This is crazy to see. Especially since I really liked your content from the pass the game challenge. After that, I looked up your channel and started following the journey!
Even as e beginner dev, I found you're better than 80% of the devlogger that I watch on TH-cam (your idea and videos are better than BTP imo) that's why I started following you.
omg every time i see something new from you i get the wildest grin on my face! you are crazy talented and i love everything you put out there! i cant wait to see where you take disinherited and istg i will fight my laptop if it refuses to properly run it on steam.

Incredible journey so far! 🔥I'm sure you'll find a publisher soon!
Even if I don’t, I’m gonna be making this happen!
I'm still salty on you getting second place...
Congrats on a great year for your TH-cam and your game!

This comment inspired me right back. Best of luck on your journey, and keep that spark of enthusiasm lit!!
@@LighthoofDryden Keep it going man! You got this!

This has been such an amazing journey being able to see your progress and improvements. Im so excited to see and experience so much more you create!
Thank you, you’re always so kind and supportive!!
So excited to see where Disinherited goes next! I finally graduated from Steam Deck to PC, which means I can finally try out the demo haha excited to check it out!

DO IT!! Proud of you for pushing yourself!
7:27 I found myself! I had been looking all video but so far this is my only guest appearance
That’s actually shocking to me!!
you've done so much in such a short amount of time! Hope you get invited to more Pass the Games challenges in the future!
No spoilers but…. You’ll have a lot more to look forward to in 2025 in terms of BTP appearances!
The lotr reference just makes me love this channel more
The way she says that is my lifeblood

i cant wait to see where you take disinherited and istg i will fight my laptop if it refuses to properly run it on steam.
This makes me so happy!!
And yeah, it better run!!!!! I’ll be optimizing as best I can, since it’s not 3D it shouldn’t be that big of a deal though :D
The adrenaline before the premiere 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨
Same tbh, it's been a whiiiile
I’m making my first video game. It’s about a world where you’re stuck in space in a nuclear war on the ground and I’m calling it running out of time.
Sounds sick-I just watched something about how the space station would slowly fall without ground support, that’s a fascinating concept!
Can't believe it's been a year!
Very excited for the stream
Yesssss a new video
Yayyy it’s glowtort!
@@LighthoofDryden Been here since the "one thousand to seventeen hundred" moment
I'm new here, but looking forward to every minute!
So glad you’re here!!
Happy new year!!! 🥳🎆
Happy new year to you!!!
