You can now wishlist my game on Steam! steampowered.com/app/2967630
This series is a hidden gem. I stumbled upon the first episode roughly a year (or two) ago, and was immediately addicted. As you have said before, almost every other devlog shows someone with advanced coding skills and a practically finished game ‘starting’ their journey - but this is different. It’s real, relatable, and inspiring. Every now and then I get a notification about you uploading, and it’s just a fabulous reminder that my favourite creator exists, and is still following their dreams. Thanks 🙃.
Yes, agree! Hoping it continues to be less hidden! I am a new member
Absolutely agree with this! Same here!
Thanks for your kind words!
Couldn't agree more. This series not only is charming but absolutely inspiring! Its going to feel so special playing this game when its finished!
I wasn't expecting metal gear, but nice to know! I loved that game. The original as a kid. Almost movie-alike at times, same with Resident Evil 2 at the ending of the game! Not so much into the newer games unfortunaly. Have you tried any of em'? The RE HD remakes or newer Metal gears? Good to see your game is progressing! I'm in crunch mode atm. Working hard on the pixelart that is crazy detailed, don't know why i took that route...But i did! Think Day of the Tentacle meets Thimbleweed Park.
I am dying to see your game in action. Keep going… Your devlog kept me motivated actually for my own illusion that I am an Indie developer.
Funny thing is, the last Ubisoft game I played did not have skill points, just equipment effects. And it did not have radio towers ether... I actually enjoyed climbing those...
It's not that we can't get an electric kettle, it's just we don't typically use them. Typically use the nukrowave (microwave) to heat up water. Sometime can even use the coffee pot, if you want tea.
lol, watching the first episode and watching this is so surreal
Thanks for sharing this. I'm looking forward to the release of your game, I enjoy your sense of humour. :)
That was a lot of fun. I totally get a kick out of vlogs too. It's just interesting to see other parts of the world. I think we call them chickpeas here in the US as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
this is such a well-made devlog! As an American, it's pretty cool that it seems like a lot of your day happens on foot vs. in a car!
Yeah we have a car but we use it maybe once a month. We can walk to everything we need... In fact I'm not even sure where the car is parked at the moment!
I won't be taking questions at this time about why my coffee machine is so terribly dirty.
How about your coffee cup instead? That didn't look great either.
@@mst4745 We bust his chops because we care. >:)
I'm a terrible person.
As a fellow human being, I understand your struggle.
Who cares. That’s life. Clean it whenever you feel like it. Life isn’t about perfection. If you don’t mind it’s a bit dirty, than it’s oké. If you do mind clean it and keep it clean.
I believe Devlog stood for Development Log, lol
If it reduces the amount of videos you can do, then just get back to the regular thing.
But I really enjoyed this. I won't watch most gamedevs go through their boring routines, but you have a sort of wry humor, you have intelligent editing, and of course, I'm very interested in the game.
I think however you go about it, you have the chops to build a viewership, provided you're persistent. You're now an instant-click for me, along with Kyle Banks and Devduck.
Thank you!
Let's discuss the fact that he's using the track-pad on his devil-takes-us-all-book-pro and not a mouse or track-ball!
I use both! Mouse is on the left as I'm a leftie. Trackpad is for scrolling, mouse is for pointing.
Ahh thanks for clearing it up :) @@pcd
I never put bigg boss and biggleboss together until this vid lol
Heyhey, I'd like to ask how you realized those speech bubbles around the texts? They look like sort of partially opaque, makes the text better readable. I'm very noob in AC. Thanks for your two 1h videos AC for dummys. Helped me a lot :) :)
It's just a semi-transparent PNG I made in Photoshop, which is then added as the subtitle background in the AC menu.
@@pcd ah, thank you. So it has fixed dimensions, and is not scaleable with the text size. I wonder if that would be possible.
Yeah you have to set a specific size with the sliders in the AC menu. I haven't figured out how to make a dynamic one that adjusts per dialogue size, unfortunately.
Hiya mate, I'm really enjoying this series. I've managed to make a very some basic stuff using AC and hope to develop a point-and-click next, set in the Nottingham caves. I've also got a partner and a job, and am rapidly approaching 30 in a few months. Do you have any advice on how to fit game dev in around a busier schedule? How much time do you typically block out each week without your partner getting the hump?
I'm the worst person to ask about this because my gamedev is so feast-or-famine. When I have a bit of a break in my freelance work I go hell for leather, and then when work picks up I drop it like a stone. I wish I could be one of those people who just does an hour a day, but it's not how I work, sadly. If you figure out how, let me know!
Always trust a left-handed golfer.
Hello, i am programming my own point and klick adv. Did u have a video on YT where i can see how do u make things move like the small partikle or the man cleaning the car. I cant find anything online.
I have a full tutorial on the channel for using adventure creator. Explore the channel - I've got loads of videos discussing the whole process!
Was surprised that, as a British person, you didn't drink a single cup of tea...
Tea is wildly overrated
I cant go without saying why is there a typo: Home is where the HERT is
Home truly is where the ‘hert’ is. Inspiring stuff.
I live in a place called Hertford, so it's an UNBELIEVABLY smart pun.
I hope you make content on the Unity debacle. 😨
Waiting to see what happens!
coffee looks ok, lunch terrible ^^
just let me buy the game already...
Three months and no new video? Where's my fix?!?!
In the next 24 hours!
Americans don’t have electric kettles? I’m Canadian and everyone seems to have them
I think the voltage in their plugs is too low to make them worthwhile, or something like that.
We work on the same archaic electrical systems as the USA. You guys have 240v we have 110v. Surprisingly we can still have modern appliances despite the differences. 240v infrastructure would be superior. But USA doesn’t adapt well to change and our grids are linked between maple flag land and merica land.

You live alone in that isolated place? Doesn't it feel lonely like... a lof of times?
Haha! I live with my wife (who was away for the weekend when I filmed) and we live in a town of about 30,000 people. It just happens to back onto a bunch of fields and canals.
"I'm going to use the menu icon as the sandwich."
Work smarter, not harder, lol! You're killin' me.
Edit: So as not to clutter the comments, I'm going to make more comments beneath this comment.
You know, I think that actually worked really well, now that I've seen it. Plus, why would he hand the guy the sandwich while he's busy waxing? This makes more sense.
If you're the one who drew the basement, I think you underrate your skills. I think it's a spacious, atmospheric location and it's probably the first thing in your devlogs that made me think, "This is going to be fun."
I'm American. My sister bought and uses one of those electric kettles. I think it's an abomination, but, y'know. I guess the European blood affects her more than me.
Dude, the whole skill-tree art looks great, did you commission that? Love the angle and style.
Yep, I actually designed the skill tree in Keynote, of all things! Thanks for your support!
...so...what happened to the hat?! Dramatic story thread left completely unresolved. Urgh!
I held it at the back and shook it to get the sweat off it, and it ripped. It was pretty old tbf.
Why not doing a tutorial like most of the Monkey Islands games do (and many other older games), just super basic and simple in-game level that teaches users super quickly how to navigate? Actual tutorials always pull me totally out of the story.
Just a suggestion :)
So the opening basement scene kind of is that - you can't leave until you solve the (very simple) sandwich puzzle, which involves doing most of what you'll do in the rest of the game.
@@pcd ah right. Yeah that makes sense. That wasn't totally clear from the video. Thanks!
I wish your microphone was better
I just wish his game would come out soon ;) This isn't his main purpose in life to be a youtuber, but to take us along for the ride while he creates a computer game from scratch.
he can be heard, whats your point :D give this man any microphone and he will make us laff
