Thank you so much for checking out The Last Flame demo! I am the solo dev of the game, and I am extremely happy that you enjoyed your first run! Discovering Astronarch through your videos a few years back has been an extreme source of motivation that shifted this projected that wasn't supposed to be a full game but rather a one month quick project to what it is today! This unexpected journey has been amazing, and I am grateful that so many players are now playing and enjoying The Last Flame for the first time!
Out of curiosity, what did the game initially look like after a month. Just wondering the time frame between then and now. Because holy polish Batman this is an amazing demo from both gameplay and player friendly presentation. As Reto said I loved the drip feed of info rather then just a huge info dump. Also... Big Oozy Guy is the best enemy name lmao. 😂
@@APG93 Basically, I graduated from uni, and wanted to make a quick project for my portfolio to get a job in the video game industry. It wasn't meant to be a full/complete game, merely a prototype. That's why it was a 1 month quick project. It didn't look good and it wasn't meant to look good! The game changed in scope many times during its development, but the first change in scope was when I discovered Astronarch and its community! It motivated me to work a couple more months on the game, after which I showed it to my friends, they liked it and the scope of the game changed once again. The next change of scope was when some publishers showed high interest/offered deals, but I decided to go solo!
Shoutout for the devs for a much appreciated interactive combat guide. Showing a quick video of whatever was just explained in the guide itself is great for new players.
Thank you for the shoutout! I am the solo dev of TLF! Watching how Retromation and other content creators play the game will be extremely helpful to make it even more accessible and easy to learn for new players!
@@hotloopgames solo? Amazing work. Very nice graphics, too. Honestly, I'm not that into auto battlers but definitely into most of the rogue likes/lites out there so I will absolutely give it a try. I hope your game will have the recognition it deserves!
I'm a solo dev currently working on an autobattler for a year now and I feel completely outclassed by this game. It looks great and the huge amount of effects and replayability looks amazing.
Hadean Tactics is another game in that genre I can recommend. The biggest difference is you have a deck of card similar to Slay the Spire and you can play a turn every 7 seconds of combat.
This is so so great. Some of the characters remind me of Spirits of The Hellements. The Treant and fae drake especially. It's so fun and so well put together.
@@gregorysmith9114 Ahh okay! Thx for looking into it. Then it comes from inspiration or coincidence and that's great too! I loved playing Brightwing in HOTS
I've been looking for a new autobattler to play. This looks great! My favorite is Astronarch and I'm doing another playthrough of Teamfight Manager. So many amazing games.
I would say the most similar game to The Last Flame is Astronarch! Although, they look very different, their philosophy and game design are similar imo!
This game looks really fun. Slay the Spire and Team fight tactics are my top two most played games. The game design looks great and I hope they can nail the balance like slay the spire. I had my wallet out only to realize the demo is free!
Another game I will buy from watching you play it. Pretty sure, the last one was, unironically, The Last Spell lol. I might not even end up playing it like a few of the others but It supports mad genesis like this SOLO dev, wth!
So like in every roguelike there is a random combo that breaks the game. one relic (infinite use: for gain 140 gold in exchange for a trophy) and the purple trader (infinite use: Exchange 100 gold for 4 trophies) obviously as long as you arn't dead broke and have at least one supporting relic that scales off gold or trophies you just slap the bosses out of existence after this. 10/10 hopefully the main game didn't patch it out. Would not recommend a video of it lol.

Looks very promising! Great work

I totally love how you've taken multiple passions and game inspirations and combined them into this totally wildly customizable and fun game.

@@hotloopgames fascinating! I love to hear how dev's get inspired for their games. Best of luck with it! Played the demo and wishlisted. 😄

it took a complicated genre, and drip fed it like a dream

feels like the autobattler genre evolves finally, thank you for showcasing TLF! Awesome work so far by the dev
I'm a solo dev currently working on an autobattler for a year now and I feel completely outclassed by this game. It looks great and the huge amount of effects and replayability looks amazing.
I really enjoyed this demo, game is solid and the amount of flexibility offered will make it stand out in autobattler genre.
Can't wait for this to come out! Looks amazing. Insane that it is 1 developer.
Hadean Tactics is another game in that genre I can recommend. The biggest difference is you have a deck of card similar to Slay the Spire and you can play a turn every 7 seconds of combat.
Thank you for showcasing this! I really looks amazing and right up my alley! ♥ Looking forward to more videos on this on release :D
this crit to all on 3rd crit got me excited :D and dear god it delivered. Cant wait for series :)
Looks great! I'd like a series on this in the future
This is so so great. Some of the characters remind me of Spirits of The Hellements. The Treant and fae drake especially. It's so fun and so well put together.
Same! I know that dev is releasing a new game and I had to double check to see if this was it. I don't think it is (no other games released on steam)
@@gregorysmith9114 Ahh okay! Thx for looking into it. Then it comes from inspiration or coincidence and that's great too! I loved playing Brightwing in HOTS
Another run maybe?

It's really good ngl would love to see more!
The game seems so simple yet i overwhelming at the same time.I love it
So... I don't like PvP, but I love the idea behind TFT, it's really chill in concept, this game is PERFECT! I can't wait to try it.
Another game I will buy from watching you play it. Pretty sure, the last one was, unironically, The Last Spell lol. I might not even end up playing it like a few of the others but It supports mad genesis like this SOLO dev, wth!
Game looks awesome- I need a game recommendation that’ll give me an itch like teamfight manager did
...Reto, Please my backlog XD
sometimes i feel anxiety when i play in a map like in ''for the king''.
So in this type of maps, i'm comfortable
Wish more of these games would come to the ps5
Its online or single player?
So like in every roguelike there is a random combo that breaks the game. one relic (infinite use: for gain 140 gold in exchange for a trophy) and the purple trader (infinite use: Exchange 100 gold for 4 trophies) obviously as long as you arn't dead broke and have at least one supporting relic that scales off gold or trophies you just slap the bosses out of existence after this. 10/10 hopefully the main game didn't patch it out.

Am I getting this wrong or max mana is actually bad? It's written in red?
Oh I realized.
Is there any sign of a future coop mode?
Unfortunately, there are no plans for coop at the moment.
@@hotloopgames You're cool and your game is neat as heck. Thanks.
Still a fabulous game.
love the vids
❤❤❤
like Illuvium
hadean tactics is the best. you should play it
I have played it, I don't agree. You should play this one.
