That’s programmers/engineers for you. As a mathematician, I wish I was one of those. It’s why both skills should be nurtured at a young age for everyone, you become natural problem solvers
@@ledrakejames I'm on the other side of the coin and I completely agree with you. I've been doing programming from age 10 to 26 as a hobby but am missing some critical core math skills as I find myself hung up on math-related issues during almost every project, despite feeling like I had a pretty solid understanding of math through school. It's the engineering side of things I'm missing and I know it. I have raspberry pi's and arduinos but know how to do almost nothing with them even though I've made entire working MMOs in javascript. The balance of skills is very important
That first leg movement with physics really was a spectacle to behold, any game where a knee can rotate 360 more than it should is a worthy game in my eyes
Seeing you doing flips with your character just SCREAMS the need for an achievement like : "do a flip and grab a rock without falling", or stuff like that! The game looks amazing!
Just dropping by after finishing the game to say thank you for a wonderful time. it really captures that feeling of getting over it, with the initial disdain, to the satisfaction of the beating the game, its definitely going to stay installed for those quick sessions. Thank you, Pontypants
Hands down the best kind of promo for a game. Dude just being genuine about something he made. Wasn't really interested, but am going to buy it just because I respect the process.
@@m2mdohkun prolly because if he did so, the man would disappear in textures of such objects like the barrel (you can see on that timecode), since it protrudes a bit further, than rocks.
@@catafanI've seen the video and I notice the man seems too far from the rocks. At least getting near it can minimize the long hand problem, (like how he show the side view version of it). But yeah, that question is already solved, so, yeah. Just a teeny meeny curious. 😅😆
This video is great and this game is sick, but a year long dev log video is not exactly what I would call unique lol. That's not a problem though I mean the video is great and not everything has to be entirely unique in conception
@@PontypantsI also wonder what is next. I am currently stuck in my first project trying to figure out a good way to make a grid system, every time I get stuck, I get burned out, and until I see some dev videos like these and get some inspiration to try something differently and make a little more progress.
@@PontypantsGreat job on this one! From the moment I saw the annoucnemtn I knew it would blow up and it's already true. Already saw Quinn69 playing it and now Lirik who I thought would only play it on sub sunday is playing it xD
As a compitive climber and game developer that follows your channel and journey for over 3 years, That makes me so happy. I am watching others playing this and filled with such joy seeing them enjoy (and suffer) From Climbing and Good game develop. Keep it up man, inspiring as always.
I appreciate your practical approach of making a game that doesn't take itself seriously, and using pre-existing resources to lesson the workload. I tend to do everything from absolute scratch and have a perfectionist complex that prevents me from getting things done efficiently. Like, the stupid way the guys arms flaps in the water to "swim". That's what makes a game fun.
Bro made 1 steam release, it was decently successful, and then came out with one of the most played indie games of the year, which practically every gaming TH-camr played. Insane.
Been watching a few streamers get into this one, the comparisons to _Getting Over It_ are all entirely complimentary. It's a great creative work! Thank you for detailing its creation here.
Former ILM colleague here. I just HAD to buy this thing not only to endorse your craziness but also because it looks super fun and funny. I'm having a blast! =D
Love you for making this game. Today I was watching Markiplier play this game and I was wondering who is the person who made this game and does he know how much joy he has brought to people, and then lo and behold TH-cam recommends me a video by you and it is you who made it - so thank you! The climbing man is impressive, pathetic, and sad all at the same time, that is what I love about it. This game symbolizes the struggles and triumps of humanity.
like he said, he just used default settings, the unity-made presets/objects, so yeah other that creating levels there wouldnt be much point. maybe post like 2 weeks ahead of time, just enough time for the hype to stay at peak, and drum up hype, but idk really. but definitely dont pull a KSP2 and announce it 3.5 years ahead of time, but something to note though, the pandemic did kinda fuck them with a studio switch.
I remember when i stumbled upon you on your first video and thought "another game dev quit his job, another promised and undelivered game" Now you have released the Punch a Bunch and this game. Here in this video your creativity really shines. Great job!
What makes your game better than Only Up is that your game isn't made to be a money-grabbing trend-chaser. There's heart and soul here, and I immensely appreciate that.
You've made a really cool game, I really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for it! There was a LOT of frustration during my completion, but even failure moments taught me something.
Because I watched this video, it gave me a deeper appreciation for this game and I decided to gift two copies to my friends on Steam. Glad to support you!
@0:56 I think jusant and the gmtk video boosted visibility and interest for this genre, which I genuinely think works in your favor. I hope that's reassuring, and great work on your game!!
I remember seeing this randomly the other day in the steam store and thinking it looked fire, this kinda behind the scenes journey really gives me a deeper appreciation for the project, great work hopefully it ends up as big as getting over it!
this video was a treat. your style is super defined, well paced and hilarious. you even have a very high marketing IQ without being annoying throughout the video. game itself also looks fun and I hope it's gonna be a success.
Hot take, but Getting Over It is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time, and I'm so incredibly happy that we finally have a successor to it. Thank you so much for creating this game!
yes! I hate how people call it a rage game and I don't really like the reputation it has gained. Its a great game about perseverance and learning from failure. It would have honestly been my game of the year for 2017 had Nier Automata not released that same year. The first time I completed it after days of trying is a feeling I've never had from a game before.
Hey Ponty! We used to work together years ago and i just wanted to say it's so great to see you making all these awesome games. Feels good to support someone you know while sinking an untold amount of hours into punch a bunch 😂
Thanks for the game, just finished it right now after 9 hours in, had a lot of fun and frustration lol. I really liked Getting Over It as well, I completed that for about a 100 times, so it was kinda wholesome to see that this game was inspired from getting over it as well. Also it was sweet of you to thank everyone including Getting over it, the player and your wife for the support so here's a thanks to you for making a fun game. Btw that nietzsche quote at the end perfectly summarizes the game and the real life XD
3:00 that reminds me of one game jam where someone made a game about climging a tower as an octopus. They made it so you need to use 8 mice to control the octopus XD
Sorry to necro reply. Do you happen to remember anything about that game jam, a name, year, anything? I would like to find this game and potentially find out how the multi mouse input works.
@@MarasiTemple It was a a small academic circle in Poland so I doubt there is some archive, but it was called "PolyJam" and this specific one took place in 2022 or 2021 (i dont remember)
You should add lore to the game in some way saying that the character is paralyzed from the waist down and that's why he can't use his legs, and this is also what gave him the motivation to do the climb in the first place.
Bless you for making this game. Big Getting Over It fan here (who has also coincidentally spent quite a bit of time rock climbing), I just downloaded it yesterday and am on my way into the third area. Thanks for also keeping this video spoiler-free for us BABIES!! Looking forward to beating it!
I bought your game today, having fun with it so far. The controls felt a little stiff at first but now that I've played it for an hour or so I actually really like how the game feels on controller.
@@Chevifier Yeah, the issue is you cannot paint with a color map and a normal map at the same time, so I guess you'd have to generate a bump map from the color map.
@@Chevifier Huh, I've never heard of Armor Paint actually, but it looks kinda neat. However as the other commenter stated Substance painter really seems like the way to go when texturing. It's a bit expensive though
A masterful devlog as always! Really happy to see their return. You've been a huge inspiration for me, and I'm furiously taking notes to improve my own devlogs. I hope to someday have a fraction of the success you've found (and richly deserve!) Good luck with the release of the game and whatever you decide to work on next!
11:39 you said that there's an upper body of water that works like a checkpoint and controls how far the player fall, however, it's still possible to fall all the way down 🤣just saw a youtuber making some progress than falling all the way down
Jusant did climbing pretty well I liked the alternative Left and Right trigger controls and the rope/ stamina level was cool. Really made you have to plan your climbs.
What a goat. You make incredible games and devlogs to go with them, and have inspired me as a developer a lot as well. I’m working on my first proper game that I’m gonna release on steam in large part because you’ve been a great inspiration. The looks you’ve given me and others into your creative process have been endlessly helpful. Thanks so much for that and keep up the good work.
Im really glad a new game like this is coming out! There's been others like Jump King and Only Up and stuff but honestly a lot of these games just focus on the "hard" aspect of GOI but thats not what made it good, its because the movement was really fun, and you could really master it and feel in control, now with 40 hours in getting over it it feels totally natural to play, ill definitley be picking this up!
@@musiclassic1 That depends on what you find realistic. You don’t control every limb individually in peaks of yore, most of it is done with your hands and crampons. But they’re a lot of different obstacles the game throws at you like rocks you can only hold onto for a certain time or slippery rocks, even ice that you need to hold onto with ice pickaxes. There is also a permadeath mode, that restarts your whole progression on an individual save file separated from the one you normally play on. So while you could call new heights more realistic because it gives a better simulation of physics, peaks of yore at least for me just captures the feeling of climbing better since you always now you’re at risk of falling off if you don’t use a safety rope and see everything from the first person and for me that is more realistic. But as I already said in the end it depends on what you find realistic and what not.
Jump King is actually extremely well made though. Extremely fair, amazing controls, fun to play, beautiful art, the whole package. Games like Only Up and Getting Over It don't have any of those qualities really.
That's crazy, I was following you when you started the punch a bunch videos and had no idea you made this game too! You're really skilled dude nice work!
This is so coool!! It's been awesome to watch you going from your first game, to making this high quality of a game! The look definitely feels like Getting Over It, but it's different lighting and color schemes make it look a little more modern and clean
the game looks gorgeous and you are super talented and hardworking, your passion for games inspiring me more and more to stick to game dev and do better games
I honestly love this kind of behind the scenes, making of the game content. Especially for 'simple rage games'. Your comedic timing is also excellent, NGL i love it.
I think one of the best parts about getting over it was its narrator. Since your game lacks that and it would be pretty weird to just copy that, I think you need a different additional layer of originality to your game. Maybe with some dynamic, custom and original music library which should be as good as the game itself or maybe you could just add a completely distinct mechanic that makes the game more fun and your loss of progress more bearable. Otherwise it just feels like getting over it but without the narrator and people barely felt the need to not just ragequit after an hour with that game.
In my eyes, Getting Over It is a game about resilience in the face of adversity- but at the same time: a multifaceted commentary on the disposable nature of digital content and the devaluation of growth in exchange for instant gratification. But in his eyes, it's just "A difficult game about climbing" kill me
For me personally the most fun and interesting part of Getting Over It was more so mastering the controls than the meta commentary, and clearly that feeling is what this game is going after, and there's nothing wrong with that, and I don't really think it needs to base its design off of how it'll be compared to Getting Over It like you suggest. But I do agree that a dynamic soundtrack would fit this really well and definitely add to it, so let's hope it's in the game :)
Jesus I didn't realize you guys were so pretentious. ALTF4 and Jump King were also shown in the video and both of them are just rage games with no meta commentary.
@@LieroidI agree. The commentary was a fun part of the game for me but obviously it still was not the main focus. This game is probably pretty decent in its current state. But for newer players there isnt really any reason to purchase this game instead of getting over it. And for people that have already played getting over it, they have experienced this formula for atleast a couple of hours. So the original formula itself might not be enough to keep players engaged with a second game after all those hours. I think the solution for that is to introduce something new so that the regular climbing part of the game isn't the only thing keeping players from quitting or even tempting them to purchase it in the first place. I'm not saying the game is bad in its current state. Its just that I think it would sell better if it had a unique part of it along with the formula itself.
I love you, Pontypants. This video clearly shows the true reason why and how a person should develop games - not only for the sake of a result, but also for the process itself (it's equally difficult and fun), and through practice, lots of it. Thanks a lot. This is something I've known for long, but only after watching this I finally got it right in my head. Now down to work.
OG Fan here (I was here when you made the announcement trailer). I'm glad you finally made it! You're an inspiration to me man, and I just wanted you to know that being an aspiring game developer myself

What a goat. You make incredible games and devlogs to go with them, and have inspired me as a developer a lot as well. I’m working on my first proper game that I’m gonna release on steam in large part because you’ve been a great inspiration. The looks you’ve given me and others into your creative process have been endlessly helpful. Thanks so much for that and keep up the good work.
This game looks brilliant and I loved how you explained how you came together, especially with the water physics.
Im really glad a new game like this is coming out! There's been others like Jump King and Only Up and stuff but honestly a lot of these games just focus on the "hard" aspect of GOI but thats not what made it good, its because the movement was really fun, and you could really master it and feel in control, now with 40 hours in getting over it it feels totally natural to play, ill definitley be picking this up!
try I Am Bread. it's not about climbing as high as possible, but I'd still consider it a climbing game
I would also recommend Peaks of Yore. It’s the most realistic 3D climbing game I know and also not as frustrating as getting over it.
@@juli7649is it more realistic than new heights?
@@musiclassic1 That depends on what you find realistic. You don’t control every limb individually in peaks of yore, most of it is done with your hands and crampons. But they’re a lot of different obstacles the game throws at you like rocks you can only hold onto for a certain time or slippery rocks, even ice that you need to hold onto with ice pickaxes. There is also a permadeath mode, that restarts your whole progression on an individual save file separated from the one you normally play on. So while you could call new heights more realistic because it gives a better simulation of physics, peaks of yore at least for me just captures the feeling of climbing better since you always now you’re at risk of falling off if you don’t use a safety rope and see everything from the first person and for me that is more realistic. But as I already said in the end it depends on what you find realistic and what not.
Jump King is actually extremely well made though. Extremely fair, amazing controls, fun to play, beautiful art, the whole package. Games like Only Up and Getting Over It don't have any of those qualities really.
The art in this game is beautiful
Amazing to see a year of dev compressed and delivered so succinctly. Beautiful presentation and a great use of Unity :)
I laughed at the water clip when the person was swinging his hands in unison. At 5:28
Already on Twitch top 10 !! Let’s go ponty congrats !! Well deserved, can’t wait to lose mine with this one .
That's crazy, I was following you when you started the punch a bunch videos and had no idea you made this game too! You're really skilled dude nice work!
Genuinely looks super fun! Good job on finishing the project :D
This is so coool!! It's been awesome to watch you going from your first game, to making this high quality of a game! The look definitely feels like Getting Over It, but it's different lighting and color schemes make it look a little more modern and clean
Just want to say that your game and the making of video is incredibly inspiring to a lot of people out there!
Great job and enjoy the success :)
Coming here after Beast boy Shub played this game 💀

This video is amazing. Love to see you share your process. Good luck with the release!
the game looks gorgeous and you are super talented and hardworking, your passion for games inspiring me more and more to stick to game dev and do better games
1:30 BOOTY
GYAAAAAAAAT
I put my face in it
Oh I'm buying this for sure. Love to see a getting over it inspired game, which I think you have elevated to a genre
I played your game to completion and I must say as a game design major, you inspire me! Well done!
11:11 what if you made those little red things cogs you can turn which raises the water up slowly would make it alot cleaner. anyway looks very cool
10:28 It did make me mad ✅
I honestly love this kind of behind the scenes, making of the game content. Especially for 'simple rage games'. Your comedic timing is also excellent, NGL i love it.
6:22 yeah I though of making water like it too but mine looking a bit strange is the right word
5:18 😂 true lol with the flailing
Congrats you made prince of Persia. 12:43
you got an entire game theory about your game
you made it, great job man!
14:13 basically every how2basic video
Yeah
I think one of the best parts about getting over it was its narrator. Since your game lacks that and it would be pretty weird to just copy that, I think you need a different additional layer of originality to your game. Maybe with some dynamic, custom and original music library which should be as good as the game itself or maybe you could just add a completely distinct mechanic that makes the game more fun and your loss of progress more bearable. Otherwise it just feels like getting over it but without the narrator and people barely felt the need to not just ragequit after an hour with that game.
Yeah it doesn't have that unique factor about it
In my eyes, Getting Over It is a game about resilience in the face of adversity- but at the same time:
a multifaceted commentary on the disposable nature of digital content and the devaluation of growth in exchange for instant gratification.
But in his eyes, it's just "A difficult game about climbing"
kill me
For me personally the most fun and interesting part of Getting Over It was more so mastering the controls than the meta commentary, and clearly that feeling is what this game is going after, and there's nothing wrong with that, and I don't really think it needs to base its design off of how it'll be compared to Getting Over It like you suggest. But I do agree that a dynamic soundtrack would fit this really well and definitely add to it, so let's hope it's in the game :)
Jesus I didn't realize you guys were so pretentious. ALTF4 and Jump King were also shown in the video and both of them are just rage games with no meta commentary.
@@LieroidI agree. The commentary was a fun part of the game for me but obviously it still was not the main focus. This game is probably pretty decent in its current state. But for newer players there isnt really any reason to purchase this game instead of getting over it. And for people that have already played getting over it, they have experienced this formula for atleast a couple of hours. So the original formula itself might not be enough to keep players engaged with a second game after all those hours. I think the solution for that is to introduce something new so that the regular climbing part of the game isn't the only thing keeping players from quitting or even tempting them to purchase it in the first place. I'm not saying the game is bad in its current state. Its just that I think it would sell better if it had a unique part of it along with the formula itself.
2:35 nah getting over it was actually very unique
I love you, Pontypants. This video clearly shows the true reason why and how a person should develop games - not only for the sake of a result, but also for the process itself (it's equally difficult and fun), and through practice, lots of it. Thanks a lot. This is something I've known for long, but only after watching this I finally got it right in my head. Now down to work.
14:25
W9aahhahaho
I’ve played this a couple days ago !
6:45 CaseOh
The rocks would have fallen if it was Caseoh
For the godot devs reading this. It´s gonna be ok, we will have another chance...
OG Fan here (I was here when you made the announcement trailer). I'm glad you finally made it! You're an inspiration to me man, and I just wanted you to know that being an aspiring game developer myself
Good luck
Ohhhh! Finally it's here! So cool! It looks so much fun! Good luck with the release! :))))
So you're the one responsible for another lengthy Markiplier lets play...
Thank you! I've missed the multiple part series, cosy content to watch with my girlfriend 💙
blyat
8:20 - best part, hands down.
I love how you made the swimming mechanics of this game so realistic
