👋 Hey there, Morbid's developer here, checking in!
Thank you for covering the game, appreciate it!
I feel the urge to explain myself a little though! This is going to sound like a bit of an excuse, and maybe it is? Here we go..
For me, personally, the development of Morbid was the most stressful time of my entire life.
We had a-lot of issues trying to find suitable programmers for the game, and long story short, about 90% of all of the code that made it's way in to the game, was written by me.
I'm not saying this to brag, though it may sound like it. But Morbid was planned to have atleast two full-time coders.
The whole team behind Morbid was 5-6 people, which is just way too few for the scale of a game that Morbid is, and for the time we had to make the game happen (originally one year, but we had to get 6 additional months to finish the game)
Unfortunately, we've had to move on to new things already. But the good news is, we learnt a-lot from Morbid. The game was succesful enough that we're Still Running (ha), and we were able to get a funding for our next title!
The team has since grown to 9, and we're still looking for one more to join.
We've changed engines, and we have clearer idea what to do next, and better planning in general.
Fingers crossed this time around things will go a bit smoother 🤞
Maybe we'll see again, Mr Pineapple, in a year or two.
Sorry for the wall of text, carry on people ✌
wow thanks for the insight, that's really impressive but also so unfortunate. Looking forward to what you guys can do next!
If you ever get the chance, please revisit Morbid's universe. The aesthetic you're team created is absolutely wonderful. Visceral, grotesque, and over the top without being excessive or uncomfortably disgusting. It hits that sweet spot perfectly and deserves another chance to shine!
as pineapple said before your aesthetic and designs are amazing so as long as the other aspects of the game are solid your work really has so much potential to be awesome :))
I love Bloodborne just a lot and you guys seem to do the same.
And I have to say Morbid art style, especially some enemy designs were INCREDIBLY good. Really, please continue making games with this art-style quality
Do you plan to ever update the game someday and apply what you’ve learned?
I'm running out of ways to title these videos
Just starting using random gibberish.
lul
name them almost dark souls
8 games yea souls like i played
"why am i still playing 8 more souls-like games you've never heard of"
Crazy how the Fisherman/boat boss is basically in Elden Ring
I literally scrolled to comment this, holy shit lmao
Mariner vibes lol-
George R R Martin took a lot of inspiration from Trials of Argolis
And somehow this boat fight was harder
Every masterpiece has its cheap copy XD
There’s this one souls-like I enjoy. It’s called “Demon’s Souls”, and they really nailed the dark souls formula.
Idk, I also Heard about bloodborne, but these Indie games, I fell like they miss something to be as good as dunk souls
Dunk souls
Some could be so controversial and say Dark Souls nailed the Demon Souls formula.

@@animeiscancerfurriesarefet217 Shush, someone with a name like yours has no right to diss the great chad Ishigami
10:30 unironically incredible boss design
Like why is that boss so funny😭😭😭😭 the most creative game I've seen in a long time
Minecraft Boating on land taken to the silly level. I love it.
If it makes the player smile, it was a good boss.
Stranded fisherman is the pinnacle of game design.
There are no other replies because this is undisputed
Boss design specifically
10:24 for anyone wondering
I kind of want that as a wargame miniature. A guy on a boat set on a base, except the base is decorated as if the boat is being skimmed across the ground rather than water. It would be super weird.
It's like a Sekiro boss!
"This is just a guy with a paddle."
Last thoughts of Sasaki Kojirou before being clobbered by Miyamoto Musashi.
What's he gonna do? betray me? - quote from man betrayed.
this reference made me too excited
He never should of thrown that scabbard in the water. ^_^
Is this what I think this is?
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola Depends on what you are thinking.
The healthbar in tyrant's reign is actually really awesome though. The way lowering your health combines the skull pieces and turns into the graphic is clever and just pretty cool
Everyone's cool, calm and collected until the stranded fisherman goes to the boat and starts playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
I laughed so hard at that boss
Surprise somebody mention Need for Speed in this channel.
This is the equivalent of The Edge from Furi using a paddle half way through his fight
That's like a Zelda boss suddenly pulling a gun.
@@jaimeantonioolaguezchirino5805 Not Zelda, but I immediately thought of Isshin the Swordsaint.
Starts with a sword, then pulls out a partisan he was apparently hiding in the grass, then he starts summoning lighting, then finally he pulls out a fucking Glock from his back pocket, no warning.
The row boat was the funniest thing I've ever seen in a game.
Idk Crowbcat's compilation of Cyberpunk's DISASTER phase is pretty good.
Though I guess they weren't goin' for comedy
That "El Cyd" boss in Dark Throne is literally an enemy from Infinity Blade
Yeah I thought the same thing. It’s the dark knight right?
@@imgaine51 As someone who’s played and beat all 3 IB games, that looks EXACTLY like the dark knight
Yup
Can't believe they brought back Stranded Fisherman for the sequel to Trial of Orgalis- Elden Ring. Longtime fans of the series know he goes by many names but is sure to appear in every game.
I love how game 1's health bar is two halves of a skull that come together to become the game over screen when you die.
yeah that's pretty cool
That game was oozing with retro personality
Yeah, that is a cool visual, but I don't like how you can't see what your maximum health is since there is no end cap shown.
@@adamofblastworks1517 Same, I think it could be easily fixed by just still having the empty bar shown as the skull is moving down. Or there could just be an animation of the skulls moving to the center of the screen and joining when you die. It's a cool idea, just needs a bit of polish.
Personman000 sounds like a name an alien would give to itself to try and blend in with humans
I have come to the conclusion that a “Souls-like” is any game with doors that can only be opened from one side
Skyrim is a souls-like
Fallout is a souls-like
@@fritzophrenia3146 well I mean it has respawning and rolling so it’s not too far off
bonus points if it's made of widely spaced metal bars
Blue Fire is hopefully gonna see a spike in reviews due to it being one of the better games in August's humble monthly
The segment on Chronos makes me think you should try Sifu if you haven't already. Much better use of that aging concept.
hi verified youtuber
Oh, hi mister Basement
Hello mr basement
10:24 "I feel like this shouldn't be a boss, this is just a guy with a paddle."

Iron pineapple is really like a channeler. He powers up hollows around him.
That's the cutest thing I've read in my entire life
Surprisingly wholesome from the literal Doom Slayer
@@stephanogandalf4098 bruh had me ded xD
Dark Throne seems to be framerate-dependent. The accelerated idle animations and fast stamina regen kind of tip it off. This might also have affected the rest of the game. If anyone for any god-forsaken reason is going to play it, unplug your GPU or use Rivatuner or something to limit the framerate to say, 30 or 60.
Looked through the comment section for this. Yup, that's so obvious, I don't know how he didn't notice.
Care to explain? 😅
Nevermind I got it
Funny thing is stranded fisherman is exactly the kind of out of this universe type of boss you'd see in a souls game... even with the boat crashing in to the wall attack
"I shit you not, he turned into a whale. Funniest shit I've ever seen"
is mario 64 a soulslike?
Guaranteed
No it’s a strand type game
Yes
Probably?
Yes
It's so heartwarming to see a game made in Argentina get to this beautiful channel, Blue Fire sure got love in it's making
The stranded fisherman was such an amazing piece of game content that it was implemented into Elden Ring!
Did the developers of Elden ring said they draw the inspiration from Trial of Argolis? Or is it just a coincidence!!!
Pineapple: "This shouldn't even be a boss"
Boss: Roes boat on land.
Yo Pineapple you should make a list of the best games from this series, so we can know which games from this series are a gem.
I second this. Thanks for the Blue Fire recommend, super curious to play it now.
He hearted the comment, hope is real
@@Horatio787 great game, Blue Fire is soooooo good
The dragon reveal at 16:00 was comedic gold.
Fitting that the stranded fisherman reeled you back in
Blue Fire is an argentinian game! One of the most recently developed here, and one of the first to be published on Switch too! Feeling proud of my compatriots!
Any other Argentinian games in Switch?
I love how he is called " The Stranded Fisherman" yet he is part boat and roleplays as a formula 1 driver. Stranded my ass he wants to be there.
He's a stand-type boss
@@IgorNVThe first strand type boss, truly revolutionary, kojima would be proud
I
This guy could easily take on Sephiroth, Jubileus, and Goku if he wanted.
10:29 This game predicted the Tibia Mariner!!!
Having just finished Going Under, I thank you for bring this game to my attention. So much fun.
That fisherman boat and whale really caught me off guard LMAO XD
Just gets in his boat immediately crashes into a rock
@@shadowknight7584 wild man with a wild plan
That's a reference to Iolus(?) the old man of the sea that can turn into a walrus or something in greek mythology!
You’re based
Leaked elden ring bosses that Miyazaki don't want to show you.
"if you like a hat in time, hollow knight and souls you'll like this game" (3 games I love)
me: *sweating profusely as I try to not purchase yet another game*
fwiw I love those three games and I couldn't really get into Blue Fire; its controls are tight and feel good, but both the enemies and level design were lacking and everything needed a bit more polish
_doooo ittttt_
It's on saaaaaleeeee.
Buy it man, it's super worth it!
the masses have spoken, it's now in my library
I’m so glad you brought up Going Under. I remember seeing a trailer for it before it came out and was recently thinking about it again to try it out. But I completely forgot what it was called. Now I can play it!
You should try Vigil: The Longest Night. Great souls-like game, deserves way more recognition.
Buddy, I think you just made the devs of Blue Fire a lot happier because you may have made them a lot richer. Definitely picking that up!
It's so underrated
Honestly has been my favorite game of the year
It looks adorable and fun. I’m in.
I work at GameStop I checked our website and it's coming out physically for PS4/Switch. I'm so happy for the devs they deserve the recognition I'm gonna suggest the game like crazy since it's genuinely a good Hallow Knight/Dark Souls like game.
It has been a fun game so far (I've put in about 7 hours) but at least on steam if you look at the achievements global percentage it looks like a lot of people are falling off before beating the forest temple which is the first dungeon. For what all the game does right I think the ratio of challenge rooms to get more hearts and the rest of the game are off.
@@TheHereticPilgrim the challenge rooms were very fun to do with a friend
I put 25 hours in, I got to the final boss, but the difficulty curve was bullshit
Still a fantastic game, 8.3/10
One of these days he's just gonna play dark souls in these videos and not even mention it
he did it in this one, lol
@@inigo137 this is why you watch videos, then comment
@@kyleyuen245 i mean he's not wrong though
Or maybe, Dark Souls 2.
That would be hilarious. He rates it like shit too
The animations for Chronos are so smooth tho
Their animation team is very talented!
15:15 It really really looks like someone forgot to make their game frame-independant. With how it's coded, I guess the faster the PC the harder it makes the game.
Yeah, as a programmer U immediately noticed that lol
@@somename371 Well I mean that's the first thing you think about when you see something like that happen. It's probably one of the most common and basic mistake everyone makes from time to time. Forgetting a deltatime somewhere
@@Exilum yeah of course and if you're always testing on the same system it can be hard to notice these things
@@Exilum lol, just noticed I typed U instead of I in my original comment (I'm a programmer myself)
@@somename371 I see. That's why your original comment sounded a bit passive- aggressive (like it was some kind of fake irony).
i completely lost it when the fisher guy straight up started boatin' on his ass, omg
As a wise man once said: "What the fuck?"
This has quickly become one of my favorite youtube series
Thanks for this video. First time in the serie that i went to steam and add to my wishlist some game (blue fire and going under).
Really good job, keep going !!!!
Bro I've been binging your videos. So addicting. love your content
I kid you not, he turns into a boat, funniest shit I've ever seen
Bots liked comment
A strong laugh from me lmao nice
classic
It’s so surprising how many games that are in these videos have so much potential with a little polish
Thank you! I've been searching for Blue Fire for quite some time. I had seen a couple seconds gameplay video and I thought it would be a 3d-zelda-like game (hearts UI and character's cap reminded me of Link). I could not find it on my own, and I never expected to find it in your souls-like series.
I love these videos, I watched 4 of the newer ones that are 1 hr long and now im binge watching them in chronological order XD
I would like to award you the highest honor I can bestow:

_"I'm gonna beat this game, I'm gonna beat this fucking game"_
You just exposed the Soulslike player mentally right there!
"It reeled me right back in"
fuck you, I love you so much for that
Got to say pretty good content and damn solid commentary! Probably going to binge your vids lol
Chronos before the ashes is actually a prequel to Remnant from the ashes. In Chronos you actually find out how it all started. How the world fell to the demons or monsters. Its a very enjoyable game in my opinion.
Souls-like people be like:
*Tries game*
"This game is bad"
*Encounters enemy that 1-shots the player*
"I must now 100% the game"
Omg
Yes
Ninja Gaiden was that game for me lmao. Now I love it
@@captaintoast4675
Dude you just awakened my nostalgia.
I hope we get a new Ninja Gaiden game soon.
Until then i'll try to scratch that itch by playing every hard game on the market
You guys are hard-core gamers were all watching you right now your legends! If I played a game where sonething 1 hit me I would problably get very angry and quit because I am not a hard-core souls gamer!
This has gone like twice as long as I thought possible
honestly, this was originally going to be a one off video only, so I'm surprised too lmao
Personally, I’m very glad that it has.
@@IronPineapple I am glad you kept going, I love this series!
@@IronPineapple best series ever
still going like mad.
Decay of logos is a souls like that i've really been enjoying
How are more people not talking about how the art style in Blue Fire is the wind waker to a tee. From the character/world design, the 4 hears in the corner and the enemy deaths. Very cool
Next title: "8 Eldritch abonimations that resembles Souls-likes".
It's Bloodborne all the way down
"I played 7 souls-like games you've never heard of, also buy Going Under"
Lmao
Brain not yet reprogrammed, cannot buy Going Under. :p
Just come across this channel and going through these Soulslike videos, it's surprising to me how many of these I own and haven't gotten around to playing yet. I dunno if I got Blue Fire in a bundle or what but apparently I've owned it for 2 years now and I'm finally gonna give it a go after your review.
Great video, Mr Apple! You really made me jart with this one!
El Cyd is literally a jpg of The Dark Knight from Infinity Blade I
holy shit you're right LMAO
I miss that game
Also the scrolls of those magic items shields i am pretty sure they are a jpg of enchant weapon B and D from lineage2
"Just a guy with a paddle"
"Not a fan of boss rushes"
Furi might make you change your mind on both counts.
Tbh the paddle phase isn't that hard
The paddle man took me the second longest to beat with the giant head being the first.
Fuck I love 90% of that game. Pitty the last boss is just the fucking worst game design I've ever seen in an otherwise incredible experience
Just a stranded fisher for fun
FURI is the one
I just got your poster as a birthday gift and I love it, my wall loves it. did i mention I love it? Beautiful poster and awesome videos!
I know it's two years late comment, but playing Blue Fire the secret platforming challenges were actually my favourite part for the simple reason that *all* of them can be creatively cheesed. There's the path they laid out and then there's the path you can find, and figuring out crazy movement combinations to jump around them was just incredible.
Blue Fire has really grabbed my attention. The whole 3D Mario + Hallow Knight gameplay actually looks really cool and the combat seems really solid. Might try it out
I got it and I will say this. It is such a fun game. The combat is fast and energetic. The platforming is clever and never gets dull. Once you start to get bored, the game throws in a new mechanic or move. 7 hours in and I love every second.
@@nokachi3339 ok yeah im getting this
Oh elden ring, save us from this torment
Well all be hollow by the time it releases

LOL. Through the transited property..... as soon as I actually saw gameplay, and heard your reaction to the movement of the game, I bought it. I haven't even gotten to your over all review of Blue Fire, and you've convinced me to buy it. Thanks man.
I honestly love this series. It's an instant click for me, every time.

Going under has the “In my garage with my Lamborghini” guy. lmao that is wonderful
17:41 lmao that cutaway is perfect
I don't play souls like games but you're usually entertaining enough and I like watching people play jank so there's that to sub for.
Holy Shit. When you were playing Dark Throne and you were battling EL CYD, that boss is another miniboss, The Dark Knight, from the Infinity Blade series. They stole an asset.
@@cyberdollie I went to an arcade and it turns out they turned it into an arcade game?? It's super weird, I didn't get to try it there but I assume you pay to start a run and if you die you can pay more to continue. It's unfortunate they're unplayable, I used to play the first and second so much and did all of the Easter eggs and secrets
@@cyberdollie Actually you can, but only if you use to have the games. I had all three of IOS and still have the same account I used when I was in high school. I also believe this is true for Android users that have the game in their account
I was gonna say, the JPEG-ness of those bosses immediately set off "stolen asset" bells in my head.
Holy shit infinity blade was my childhood, I’m surprised anyone still remembers it
Literally animation of his casual approaching, his standing pose, strong attack and his defeated pose (yet with less penetration from the protagonist tho), like holy moly, nostalgia just struck in from this stolen asset....
(Joke time) Guess the life got hard on this guy after God King’s death, had to find a new job in some crappy games with crappy controls and stolen assets

I love that the fisherman got in his boat then immediately ramed into a wall
"Just a guy with a paddle"
I see someone hasn't played Furi
I was looking for that comment
Furi is such a good goddamn game. Beaten it like 3-4 times
So glad you showed off blue fire. I been debating on whether to get it or not and now I know I am. Same with going under.
I played Tyrant’s Realm, and it’s a lot of fun. I really hope they work more on the game so we can see more cool content.
Holy crap, I'm almost 100% positive that the boss in Dark Throne at 16:33 is just a straight model rip of the bodyguard of the main villain from the first Infinity Blade game. Who is literally the first enemy you fight.
It definitely is, I'm pretty sure all the Infinity Blade models are free to use through Unreal Engine. But like, they're intended as placeholders lmao, not final assets.

I ended up playing _Blue Fire_ all the way through, and yeah, it's fun. Good game, thanks for the recommendation!
I came here for the games, but I'm most fascinated by the artwork you showed twice
"It's just a guy with a paddle"
Ever heard of Miyamoto Musashi?
Final form: double wielding oar and boat 🤣🤣🤣
@Professor Duck whos based on miyamoto. Give me something memorable, something that I can learn from that will make me better.

i've been training as a blacksmith for about 3 months and within just the first week i had developed muscles in my arms, so andre could just have his sick muscles just from smithing for hundreds of years lmao
Thats so cool man
Stranded Fisherman was ahead of his time, he was the og Tibia Mariner 😩
I wish Tibia Mariner just rammed into a wall too
Okay the game over screen in that first game is amazing. The health bar turning into a skull and laughing at you is neat.
"Just a guy with a paddle"
Ah, the hardest boss of any game: the Yaoi Paddle.
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...
The reason the yaoi paddle was discontinued was because somebody hit the hip of a cosplayer and actually broke their hip with it
I’m glad more people are finding Going Under. It was one of my favorite games from last year, and it’s horribly slept on, so much so that the devs weren’t able to do all they wanted for it before having to move on to a new project. They got to push one major update and that’s it.
Watching his old Dark Souls PvP videos, I got the impression that Iron Pineapple was some sort of edgy troll dude. But watching his newer videos, it turns out that he's this sweet guy who doesn't want to criticise anyone's game too harshly
Addicted to this series!!
