I can't get over how consistently great all the artwork for Isle Goblin is. From the big stuff like that new intro to small things like the item sprites. You've just really nailed the art style. Can't wait to see more!
There's got to be great comedic potential with goblins giving letters to a bird to randomly find you in a cave somewhere instead of just saying something to your face, and also putting gifts in there like food and not knowing how long its going to be until you get it...
I can't believe you've managed to complete so much while also having a full time job, with only a small team??? What??? And the quality is so consistently good on the game AND the videos. These little goblins are always the highlight of my day ❤
It was genuinely your devlogs that got me into making my own Devlog videos for my own indie game. I keep on coming back when I need inspiration. The game might not be my vibe but the videos keep me hooked! Rooting for you!
is there a zoom in zoom out feature? Thats something that terraria has that makes the game WAY MORE immersive and satisfying. Its as if u control the eyes of ur character, PLEASE ADD!
It feels like you're cheating. How? How can you, a solo indie dev, make such a large and beautiful game? I understand that it's technically possible, but the amount of dedication you're showing for this project... you terrify me.
This project gives off such a quality vibe in every single aspect. I don't really play games anymore but I'm still excited to see this one. The Steam video was honestly one of the best I've ever seen and wishlisting was immediate. I hope you'll balance it so it's equally fun to play single and multiplayer.
your dedication to listening to your viewers is amazing. i feel like big game developers aren’t really able to connect with their customers that well and also often don’t want to. it’s refreshing to have someone build an amazing looking game that is almost community built.
I find it so impressive that you make me incredibly excited for the game release AND on top of that I just enjoy watching your videos with the quirky illustrations and humor so much.
love the art as always! makes me watch every single video, keep up the good work don't let the burnout reach you man just finish one task at a time I know it can feel daunting with the "little game" you have but just make sure to enjoy whatever you are doing and don't feel pressured by the testing to rush things, work as you see fit and take care of your mental health
Love your design philosophy of making the game fun before filling it with a bunch of stuff. Definitely going to buy it at launch and probably for my sister as well.
Add orc camp which will send attack waves to your village till you find camp and kill the leader, simple but give the world some life to it,some extras ,1- you can build golems to defend the village. 2-there are friendly blackSmith orc will arrive after waves end. Love the game ❤.
It's so cool watching this project grow!! I've been watching since the second video you put out on this and seeing how it evolves and how you to about these things is really valuable to me!! I've grown pretty attached to this
Im loving the progress so far!! I'll wishlist isle goblins today to help others reach your game, the quality and commitment you have to the community thus far is a true gem in game dev :)
I just recently found you and your game and I already love it and can't wait for it to come out! It's amazing how you as a single dev are able to create such a good looking game with so much thought and love for detail!
The intro cutscene looks awesome! One suggestion - the art flashes by really fast when you're seeing it for the first time, perhaps fading out the boss slides so the eye has more time to take it in would help it feel more natural! Otherwise looks super good!
Been following your progress updates for the past few months and I absolutely love this. I especially got excited seeing the desert goblin tribe it just adds so much to the world. Gameplay looks awesome, artwork is incredible and super polished. So excited to see the coming updates keep up the amazing work!!!
Can't wait for the demo! I have been following this project for over a year and love the little drawings you include in the videos. The algorithm does not do you justice man!
your videos really got me in to making games, i'm studying programing for a month now and did a couple of small games but whenever i get stuck or my motivation gets pretty low to do it i watch your videos and the motivation gets back again, really, thanks for share your progression and new stuffy you're implemeting in your game, looking foward to play it in the future
This is looking so good! I love how you're creating the systems and mechanics to make sense in the world as a goblin. I feel it'll really add to the immersion and give more reason for the player. Also love the way you edit these videos to be so easy to understand and watch!
I really hope you put those humans in their place. Been following for 11 months now. Always impressed from one engineer to another. Will definitely support by buying it. I honestly relate mostly to your dry but witty humor and love that it shines through into aspects of your game. I've shared about this to many people asking about games. Best thing I've seen being made.
love the one eyed turtle fast travels! if there's gonna be underground fast travels tho it has to be moles. also love the idea of an animation of the turtle head coming out and chomping you to fast travel. As you cant rlly go in a turtle shell there's no room. the moles could just grab you.
this looks like it has a lot of potential, i would love to see the game having alot of achievements to collect, even easy ones or rare cosmetics u could get from bosses or something like it that it would give the game alot of replayability and keep players hooked for longer
So impressive how this whole game is coming together. I am a video game developer myself so I really know how much work goes into all the aspects of a game. Wish you the best of luck in your development and I am definitely gonna buy the game once its out!
The opening cutscene looks great! Been following this game through the TikTok updates until I realised you had a TH-cam and have been subscribed ever since. I think it would be cool if the different villages of goblins were different types of goblins as to not just be the same as the one you create for some more variety. Some of these variants could be hobgoblins or bugbears or shown by a distinct colour.
Hey I know I’m a little late to this one, but I just have to say I love your game so far and have had it wish listed for months at this point. As a gamer just remember to leave stuff to do once you unlock the turtles, other wise you may not have a reason to come back!!! Thanks for sticking to it and can’t wait to play.
This is the second update I've watched, and it looks great. It must be hard to devolope a game while also working your job, but it has come out great. Wish you the best :)
watching your art get progressively better is so awesome. Really inspires to work daily to get to a similar level. Can't wait for Isle Goblin's release! (Wishlisted, liked, subscribed, glazed duh)
I'm a huge fan of pixel art and that cutscene was so well done! From experience animating something that isn't a short attack or some kind of movement can be really difficult. The shading also looks amazing!
Congratulations on your game bro, hope you enjoy making it just as much as i love your content :) Also, is there gonna be magic and that kind of stuff in your game (like terraria or dark souls, where you get super overpowered in the late game/ new game +)
Hey, hoping this helps the algorithm. This is one of my favorite projects to follow. I'm working on my own project so this is really inspiring me to keep going. Good luck on the testing and release
I am excited to play this game, I have been watching for a while and I love where its going. Always charming when see a stream notification from you and I can have it on in the background. I love your stuff, keep up the great work!
So happy that the TH-cam algorithm suddenly decided that i should be here! I agree, thank you TH-cam algorithm for that. Super cute game, looking forward to playing it when it comes out, in the meantime I'm looking forward to more devlogs.
This the first video of yours I’ve seen. In the past few months I’ve been working on my own goblin indie game as well. (I started making it before I saw this I swear) I hope I can get as much success as you did. Amazing job. You gained a new subscriber ❤
Its so cool ur making ur own game, i've literally played every single roguelite on steam and when im in the shower or in the car to work im always fantasizing about making the game I want to play wishing u mad success
Can’t believe how much this little game about goblins has developed! Congratulations, you really have come so far! Not just as a developer, but as a creator. These videos are always a treat, and I for one can’t wait to play the game for myself
I wonder if the player could have little pets that follow them around the map and maybe have small abilities so the players don’t feel lonely on their travels. Great dev vlog as always 👍
I've been watching since the nearly the first video about the project. It's amazing to see how it's changed, improved, and focused its vision over time.
That cutscene looks sick I almost regret watching it now and not later but I know is going to feel as magic as the first time by the time I get to play the game, great work 👍🏻😎
I love your Game! It‘s just WoW!! I am also an Indie Dev at 15 years old and working on my own Game. I just love to see how your Game is coming out so far.
first time I'm watching a video from your channel and it's amazing, it's a mix of an animating channel and gamedev my 2 favorite genres. A very fun watch
This has come so far from where it began, in just over a year and a half! I hope that you're very proud of your progress, because it truly is amazing to see ❤
God I just love the art of both the video and the game! I'm hoping eventually I can reach that kind of talent. I've been improving recently so keep doing what you do and it'll inspire others as well!
to expand the idea of spider livestock you could add a mountable spider bus for transport between towns or just for up to 4 or so players to ride around on expeditions I think it would be fun for muliplayer (great work on the game btw)
Just stumbled upon this, game look super interesting and cute, wishlisted and will be keeping an eye on it for sure. Just one thing I'll say, don't worry about "copying" other games, we improve because we build on what has been done and make it better, Corekeeper and Necesse (and Terraria.. Starbound etc.) all have similar aspects and that's a good thing, they still feel distinct. I think giving them a play would be a good thing. also: I love that intro, looks so good!
A cool idea come to my mind while I was watching the section about having up to 7 people in the game. A companion system will be fun, like a buddy who travels with you all the time like in Skyrim for example (and not all because some people might have to play alone xD)
I'm so excited for the full release of this game. As a Terraria, Neccesse and many pixel games enjoyer. This game looks like it has promise. Definitely going to play this with my brother when it comes out.
I'm kind of glad to hear you're not playing Necesses or Core Keeper, I want to see your take on this genre, and so far I'm not disappointed by what I see. Can't wait for it to come out. I love the idea of spear fishing!
This game looks so promising, and the intro just blew me away! Honestly, I'll have to keep myself from watching all of your videos at once to not get too impatient lmao. But yeah, it looks really enjoyable! Take your time and we'll have an indie masterpiece in a couple of years ;)
Love the Polish you've added to the game (not the language lol) .. it must've been the hardest part and a massive grind but the Game looks GREAT! And the Intro adds such a professional touch :) Loving your Work Sir!
amazing job on the game! speaking of jobs, my boss said “dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.” So I went in as Batman. I also love anything goblin, and there arn't many goblin games so thank you for this.
Love how the indie game industry of 2024/2025 is turning out! Isle Goblin is one of my favourite games of all time
I'm glad for the fall of triple A
wish it was on switch
@@Taidhg-v5m maybe one day! fingers crossed.
Same, Can’t wait, hope it explodes like stardew valley
Lol
Intro cut scene is way better. I can understand the basis for the bosses and such. It's really perfect art and music for the game too.
Yeah man it was really intense tooo
I can't get over how consistently great all the artwork for Isle Goblin is. From the big stuff like that new intro to small things like the item sprites. You've just really nailed the art style. Can't wait to see more!
Another amazing devlog! Hope it gets the recognition it deserves! Thank you so much for the shout-out as well ❤
Time traveler?
@@LogicalDraws fr
I think they unlisted it before posting it
There's got to be great comedic potential with goblins giving letters to a bird to randomly find you in a cave somewhere instead of just saying something to your face, and also putting gifts in there like food and not knowing how long its going to be until you get it...
I can't believe you've managed to complete so much while also having a full time job, with only a small team??? What??? And the quality is so consistently good on the game AND the videos. These little goblins are always the highlight of my day ❤
A quest should be to find a really perfect sword, then put it in the river and rub it against a rock to make it jagged and rusty… a true goblin sword
😂
It was genuinely your devlogs that got me into making my own Devlog videos for my own indie game. I keep on coming back when I need inspiration. The game might not be my vibe but the videos keep me hooked! Rooting for you!
Same here! It also made me understand how much work devlogs are to make…hence why I only have two so far on my channel. 😅
is there a zoom in zoom out feature? Thats something that terraria has that makes the game WAY MORE immersive and satisfying. Its as if u control the eyes of ur character, PLEASE ADD!
there is a zoom in and out feature! (He just fixed it to 16:9 aspect ratio)
It feels like you're cheating. How? How can you, a solo indie dev, make such a large and beautiful game? I understand that it's technically possible, but the amount of dedication you're showing for this project... you terrify me.
That's what happens when someone is talented and actually wants to be successful.
This project gives off such a quality vibe in every single aspect. I don't really play games anymore but I'm still excited to see this one.

It is amazing how he takes inspiration from other games without completely copying games.looking forward to your game
I absolutely love this, and as a fledgling game dev I find these updates are so useful for getting into the right head space
love the love comments talking about how do they love the love that you put into your lovely game!
Tbh out of all the games coming out within the next couple years this is definitely at the top of my list!
I’m just addicted to this game
I love that intro cutscene, it really brings out my yearn for justice
Add orc camp which will send attack waves to your village till you find camp and kill the leader, simple but give the world some life to it,some extras ,1- you can build golems to defend the village. 2-there are friendly blackSmith orc will arrive after waves end. Love the game ❤.

Oooof that intro goes so hard!
I'm extremely excited to play your game and love seeing your updates. Keep up the awesome work 🎉
The music in the intro cutscene sounds AMAZING! Gives terraria vibes will staying in its own lane. Could not have wished for better
the soundtrack tho.... incredible.
I really hope you put those humans in their place. Been following for 11 months now. Always impressed from one engineer to another. Will definitely support by buying it.

I cant wait to hoard this game like the goblin I am
I can not wait to play this game, it is almost like a combination of my two favorites WITH GOBLINS, your art style, dev logs, ideas are all beautiful
Congratulations on your game bro, hope you enjoy making it just as much as i love your content :)
Also, is there gonna be magic and that kind of stuff in your game (like terraria or dark souls, where you get super overpowered in the late game/ new game +)
ive followed along most these videos and the improvment is amazing :)
Hey, hoping this helps the algorithm. This is one of my favorite projects to follow. I'm working on my own project so this is really inspiring me to keep going. Good luck on the testing and release

5:00 the cutscene is so good, love it!

Dude please release this soon! I can't wait for it. I even applied for Playtest on steam. Can't wait for this game!!!!!
congratz on the huge milestone! game is looking great, as is the intro cutscene!

Made you look. Great progress so far, very excited for demos and release.

I‘m really excited about this game, and I love that you continue (what I hope to be) your dream 😊 Godspeed! Hyped!
I love this series, and huge congrats on 50%! Can't wait for the game to come out!
This game looks so promising, and the intro just blew me away! Honestly, I'll have to keep myself from watching all of your videos at once to not get too impatient lmao. But yeah, it looks really enjoyable! Take your time and we'll have an indie masterpiece in a couple of years ;)
Still one of the most impressive things a single person has made. Insane that you did this, and in only 20 months! Amazing to see, can't wait to play
I always look forward to your updates. I love how this game has evolved over time!
That intro is Dope AF by the way. Great job.
0:02 thats some chair you got there

Found you on instagram and have been following your progress for months. Exciting stuff, keep it up!
i loved the way you designed the game it has given me inspiration to make pixel art like this(Not copying), bro best of luck for your game
Amazing video! Your dedication is crazy! I wish I could sub infinite times

Got this on my wishlist! Excited to play when released. Thanks for the update
IDK how I came across this but I'm so glad I have. Will definitely be giving this a go at some point!
Looks incredible. Im trying to figure out how to build my own game and I'm finding your work EXTREMELY inspiring!
Please keep up the great work!!! :)
Thanks for devlog! This is very interesting to listen your journey!
Always happy to see progress on the game! You're doing great work out here man.
20 months! Wow. Amazing progress. Keep up the fantastic work buddy.
Thanks for doing what you love and fulfilling your ideas!
