You're amazing Jonas! These devlogs are a wonderful look into indie dev, and a huge inspiration for people like me who love gaming and also dream of creating their own experiences. I'm trying to learn Unreal as a solo dev, and although It's always hard and often confusing, videos like yours drive my passion even further, and I'm very grateful for that. Huge W game and channel, I can't wait to see what new projects and ideas you come up with! Personally, I'd love to see you take a simple PvP multiplayer game and really dive into how you solved all the intricate networking / programming quirks of multiplayer. Anyway, much love, respect, and admiration - a happy fan and hopefully one day, peer :)
Jonas has the nicest way of editing his videos the perfect balance between life, humor and game development is perfect the only thing I wish for is that the moments of life to breathe a bit more. But I get that's not for everyone.
I really admire how honest this devlog is, and its really nice to see how healthy your approach towards your work and hobbies is. I hope you enjoy your break, and congratulations on everything. You're a huge insipiration for a lot of people
I just wanted to come in here and congratulate you on the completion of Thronefall! Thank you for the motivation you bring. You were part of what inspired me to start game development, and now my first Steam game is releasing in 2 months!
Jonas, when you started this dev vlog series, I was doing my little side project to have a better portfolio to look for a programming job. I got inspired in some of the things you implemented in thronefall. Today, we are 10 people working on that little project. It has become a monster of a project (and maybe should reconsider the scope...) and I can't really thank you enough for making these videos and being part of this devlog series along with the already awesome game you created. I wish you all the success in your future endeavours. You totally deserve it. The more I spend time with my current game, the more I respect your work. Making games is hard and only people who have tried really understands the true weight of this statement. Keep being awesome!
Cooperating in bigger teams is also a massive challenge so let me just tip my hat back at'ya! Happy to hear you found some inspiration in my work. Much appreciated!! :)
Congrats on 1.0! It's been an absolute blast following along with this adventure. You guys can be incredibly proud of what you've achieved. Enjoy a well-deserved break, I'm excited to see what will come next!
i love how there is a lot of the style of the older videos in this one. makes it actualy nostalgic in a way. also remindet me how i first came across Jonas old german channel and then also wanted to start making games
Enjoy your break! Some words of gratitude: For me your channel is the most valuable game design resource out there - I know of no other indie game dev channel with a better track record of creating successful games that rely on fun gameplay. This really backs up your insights. I also appreciate your calm and honest vibe, it makes the points you make that much more valuable. :)
What a beautiful send off to a wonderful devlog and game. I'm beyond stoked for you after watching your work for years and years now. May your next adventure bring you all the good fortune you could hope for, thanks for the journey, Jonas!
Yay I love these! And I loved the recent stream. Thank you for being an inspiration! Mark my words I will make a hit game using the strategies you outline in your videos. Cheers!
when i was starting out doing coding, i found your 2nd will you snail video and i was like "That is so cool" and started to motivate me to make more! Thx for sticking around for me to keep going :)
You've been a major inspiration to me starting my own journey. Take whatever time you need, but looking forward to following whatever project you undertake next!
I just discovered and purchased Thronefall yesterday. There have been a few games throughout the last decade that've been stark reminders. Proof that passionate developers who take pride in their work strive for quality do still exist. Thronefall is fantastic and certainly earned its place on that list. Thank you for crafting such a wonderful game.
SO PROUD FOR YOU! I just want you to know that you've got me into game dev and now I have a community of over 1000 people supporting my journey. Thank you so much, can't wait for the next adventure :)
Hey, Jonas. I'm a solo dev who's struggling to keep up with my games and consistently creating devlogs (on another channel) because of time constraints, and seeing this final devlog made me inspired to work on my games so that I can build an audience and following just like yours. Keep up the good work, Jonas.
Can't wait for your next project. Your fresh Ideas are so interesting to me. But for now enjoy your well deserved break while I enjoy your well made game😊
I really enjoyed this style of video, very calming yet engaging anyway! I hope you do another video talking about how your game launch went, would be very interesting to hear about different it was first launching it as early access, how much you did for marketing, split profits and such. The one about WYS is one of my favourite videos you've made, and this time it seems that your game was even more of a success! Anyway, enjoy your break-you deserve it. I'll be looking forward to whenever you come back for another adventure! 💛
Jonas, I've been watching your channel for a long time now and you inspired me to start my own game dev journey some time ago. I even took part in the Wowie! Jam 3.0 (btw, when's the next one? 🥺) and built my first "real" game ever. Seeing you like this, happy to have finished another project, makes me really happy too. Take a break, enjoy life and once recharged, come back stronger than ever ♥
Hi Jonas, I just want to say that I've really enjoyed following this development, and it has inspired me to take on this journey for myself (with zero exp). I purchased the game a while back and will have to now pick it up and play it! I'm sure it will be a blast; I look forward to your future developments.
Three years??? Last I remember, WYS came out 2 years ago and the first devlog was 1 year ago, has this rlly been in the works for so long??? I like this game even more lmao
9:19 - 12:27 felt like a "Will you Snail" dev log in the good old days. 😍 But I probably shouldn't have that kind of attachement to a random channel on TH-cam. Also loved the rest of the video because it kind of resonates with me in my current state in life. Alles Gute. ❤
Very random, but thanks a ton for sharing your YT stats. It made me feel a lot better about my channel, which I've neglected over the past months. "SO let's just not do that" regarding fulltime YT is also a great statement. I decided to look at it like that as well. Good luck with the rest of the year and enjoy your break
0:37 - Oh my, I am sititing EXACTLY like this right now as I am watching this, I do it with the left foot though. Glad people also do weird poses sometimes. Anyway, congratulations! 🥳🎉
I don't want the development to end 😭 If only there was a level creator/editor toolkit the community can have and go crazy with, that would be the greatest parting gift all Thronefallers would love.
Didn't know you made thronefall.. great effort, very nice game, congratz... !!!A collosal success for an indie!!!! I bought that game few months ago for the reference and the feel :) and I liked it... Fellow dev here, congrats once again.
Das ist wirklich ein krasser Zufall. Erst letztes Wochenende war ich bei meinem Cousin, er hat mir das Game gezeigt und wir haben mehrer Stunden Thronefall auf seinem PC gezockt. Ich war total begeistert und habe sofort geschaut ob es das Game auf Switch gibt, da ich keinen Pc habe. Ich war etwas traurig das dies nicht der Fall war. 5 Tage später (heute) ruft mich mein Cousin an: "Hey, es gibt Thronefall jetzt auf Switch". Ich freu mich riesig ❤
Ever since I started watching your channel you have been my role model, a guy from Europe just like me who doesn't know a lot about all the business side of game dev and just wants to make games every day because he loves it
Happy to hear that. I would be hoping that I'm starting to pick up some things about the business side, haha, but yes, there is much much more to learn. 😬
10:05 What a great thing to do right after releasing a game! Surely no critical bugs and other issues will be found in the next year and, of course, you won't be bullied into making another level editor.
Thanks for all the support y'all! It was a pleasure.
first
It really has been. See you out there.
Take as much time as you need; you deserve the break. Well done--with everything.

When porting to mobile?
My friends and I hoped you would release a multiplayer feature, but I'm glad you did it.😆
Jonas has the nicest way of editing his videos the perfect balance between life, humor and game development is perfect the only thing I wish for is that the moments of life to breathe a bit more. But I get that's not for everyone.
You might be interested in Thinmatrix. His videos have the absolute chillest vibes of him cooking, watering plants, going for walks with his dog, etc
Yeah, I think you are right. It takes a lot of courage to let something breathe cause if it's poorly executed half of your audience is gone. Haha. :D
@@JonasTyroller true true
I really admire how honest this devlog is, and its really nice to see how healthy your approach towards your work and hobbies is. I hope you enjoy your break, and congratulations on everything. You're a huge insipiration for a lot of people

Overwhelmingly Positive reviews, Jonas!! I'm so happy for you!!!
Nearly 15k reviews on the day of release. Friggin' amazing work.

Thank you!
You two are absolute legends!!
Bro definitely cooking something up behind the scenes.
You're easily the best game dev TH-camr out there. It's been awesome following this journey.
Congratulations! I look forward to seeing whatever is next, once again.
What a beautiful send off to a wonderful devlog and game. I'm beyond stoked for you after watching your work for years and years now.

Thanks a ton!
Your content is always inspiring and down to earth. Congrats on the launch and good luck with wherever you take your life next. Cheers!
"Final" This is so saaad. I've been rewatching these every now and then. Love the Thronefall devlog so much. :D
Everything has a beginning and an end. Alpha and omega.
@@JonasTyroller Will there be a devlog even for the next title/s perhaps? :D
I'd honestly even pay for it. It's both educational and entertaining.
Can't wait to make a devlog of my own like this, years from now. Congrats on 1.0, Jonas.
Favorite game! Followed this dev log before the game was released. This motivated me begin developing my game, though with less progress than yours.
I like the "people kept doing what we dont like, so we decided to literally pay them not to" lol. Genius!
From Devlog 0 to This one, can't believe it's been three years, Congrats and see you in the next one Jonas!
when i was starting out doing coding, i found your 2nd will you snail video and i was like "That is so cool" and started to motivate me to make more! Thx for sticking around for me to keep going :)
Man what a journey! One of the best cards game ever!
super congrats to yall for yet another great release 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations Jonas! It was a joy to follow your development journey from start to finish.
You've been a major inspiration to me starting my own journey. Take whatever time you need, but looking forward to following whatever project you undertake next!
Another chapter closed, another project completed.
Congrats, Jonas. Your perseverance inspires everyone to finish their own passion projects.
Congrats on the launch! I can't wait to see your next project! 💪

Been following this project from the beginning and it’s incredible how far its come. Super inspiring and amazing work!
This video was awesome! It fills me with hope as I keep working on my own game. Thank you
Beautiful journey! Its crazy how far you have come! Hope you get some well deserved rest!
Congrats on making it to the end!
You're a big inspiration for me!
Can't wait for your next project. Your fresh Ideas are so interesting to me. But for now enjoy your well deserved break while I enjoy your well made game😊
Also I wanna add: I played the game last when it was a demo on steam. It was already great back then but it improved soo much, great job🎉
ive been here since the first devlog and its crazy to see the amount of progress u put into developing the game, congrats on the release jonas!
0:38 I too sit at my desk like that... RIP our backs
A wise person once told me: The best position to sit is always the next (the more you move the better)
I sit like that too😅
I really enjoyed this style of video, very calming yet engaging anyway! I hope you do another video talking about how your game launch went, would be very interesting to hear about different it was first launching it as early access, how much you did for marketing, split profits and such.

While Thronefall isn't really for me, I can still sit down and enjoy it from time to time. Thanks for making it, Jonas.
Jonas, I've been watching your channel for a long time now and you inspired me to start my own game dev journey some time ago. I even took part in the Wowie!

Congrats Jonas!! Your videos have always been an inspiration, it’s awesome to see this project hit the finish line. Enjoy your time off!
I see a Jonas Tyroller Video, I click it.

Very simple
Hi Jonas, I just want to say that I've really enjoyed following this development, and it has inspired me to take on this journey for myself (with zero exp). I purchased the game a while back and will have to now pick it up and play it! I'm sure it will be a blast; I look forward to your future developments.
Ah, that's wonderful. Hope you enjoy (both the game and your game dev journey)! :)
Your game is amazing!!! Well done!! ❤❤
Much love man. So glad to see you 'hit it big', you deserve the success! Please take a well deserved break!
Going from the early prototyping videos, and ending up here has been quite the journey. Thank you!
Thanks for following along. :)
Good luck on your new journeys. It is always great to seek some new challenges I think.
Thank you for making the game, thank you for your videos and have a nice break.
Three years??? Last I remember, WYS came out 2 years ago and the first devlog was 1 year ago, has this rlly been in the works for so long??? I like this game even more lmao
I mean it's been in Early Access for over a year now. haha. Time flies.
Congrats! Thanks for making these videos. I enjoy hearing your perspective.
And thank you for watching along. Appreciate it.
Enjoy your time off and we'll all look forward to your next endevour.
Thank you!
Glad you’re getting some well deserved rest!! I’ll be eagerly waiting your return
That comparison from the prototype to the end is amazing :D
Thronefall is great, huge congrats to you guys. Enjoy your break & the fruits of your labors.
thanks for all the amazing content, and hopefully after a good long break you will come back
See you for the next adventure.
We'll be here whenever you're ready.
Till next time--it's been a pleasure. 🥂
Seeing the different sides from life, gamedev, and TH-cam is really cool. Treating YT as a hobby is also something I should adopt. 😅
Im happy for you, congrats on finishing your game! Also im very happy that you are focusing more on your life and yourself. All the love
The walk through your daily life was so fun! Super relatable.
Thanks Jonas for sharing your journey! This was a great video for the game's release. You're a real inspiration. Enjoy your well-deserved break. :D
Congratulation on the release, game looks great and deserve the success it had 🎉
I love the indies being successful. Gives me hope in this dystopian world.
Loved every video in this series. Great job
which game idea won the vote? 👀
@@JonasTyroller we’ll be revealing it in almost exactly one month! 😊
Loved the devlog series. Keep it going Jonas!
Its finally done? Cant wait to play it. I hope you really enjoyed working on it Jonas :D
I hope this game brings joy to everyone the way it did for me
Let's hope so. Thank you, thank you! :)
The simulated video click through got me lol. Great work on Thronefall! I'm excited to see what you make next!
Haha, thank you!
congrats on the release
sad to see glotzbär moved out though
Lez goooo a new Jonas video
i cant wait to see more devog videos on new concepts!
Huge congratulations!
I love the constant presence of a console error in the Unity editor
9:19 - 12:27 felt like a "Will you Snail" dev log in the good old days. 😍 But I probably shouldn't have that kind of attachement to a random channel on TH-cam.
Also loved the rest of the video because it kind of resonates with me in my current state in life.
Alles Gute. ❤

You as a Person, your yt channel and your Team are sooo inspiring. Want so be on a spot like you at some point.
I don't want the development to end 😭
If only there was a level creator/editor toolkit the community can have and go crazy with, that would be the greatest parting gift all Thronefallers would love.

Oh, that's always great to hear that people discover my games before me. Wonderful!! Thanks for the kind words. All the best to you as well!
Congratulations man. A lot of other TH-camrs and commenters are constantly calling you out as a model for how to do the indie thing. It's deserved.
Love the art style.
Congrats, guys!
It's been a wild ride. You really did something impressive. Im glad you take some time off to recalibrate and maybe spawn some kids :D

Nobody has found a single bug since.
I can't believe its been 3 years already. it feels like the devlogs started just yesterday
Time flies (but also the devlog series started a fair amount later than the development).
good job, you are a motivation for other devs.
Holzkamin als Desktop-Hintergrund
One of my favourite games to play on Steam Deck
It's a great game for handheld (except for the very zoomed out camera maybe, but I added a zoom hotkey haha).
You starting BJJ is so fucking cool, good job!!!
Thank YOU! Take a well deserved break.
