The game unfortunately uses some copyrighted music and if my voice/ the audio sounds a bit weird in some small parts (2 times 1 minute sections) it is because I used a new TH-cam tool to remove it. Some AI stuff that removes the song but tries to keep all other sounds/ my voice. Not insane quality, but better than getting the vid copyright claimed. Cheers
Hello, first of all, greatly appreciate you covering our game, means a lot 🙏 The 2nd pronunciation was correct! The copyright claims seem quite weird, since soundtracks for the game were all custom-made by a small recording studio, SFX are provided by our audio guy who either has all the licenses for them or come from pages we have purchased commercial licenses from. We'll try to troubleshoot which sounds caused it so we can investigate. Really thankful for your feedback, it actually does affect the development of the game heavily! Would be very glad to have a chat with you should you have more 👍 We've been testing the game non-stop since December 2023, spending thousands of hours with hundreds of players and MOST of their feedback has already been implemented. We're still doing so on regular basis, doing balancing patches both according to feedback and data we've been collecting and analyzing.
@@troymuni6120 I guess you're referring to the Djinn Tonic item? That should be no problem, as Aladdin and the Magic Lamp is actially a Middle Eastern folk tale and we haven't used any of their imagery, the art used is custom and our own 👍
Hey, omg, that's us! Thank you for this lovely review @idlecub ❤ We loved it. Couple of notes from us: The pronunciation is indeed DEE - GEN - HEIM as you correctly got at the end of the video, welcome to the crazy, derailed fun world! The cursed mysterious text issues - this has been a rendering issue caused by the previous version of game engine, unfortunately outside of our control, but the good news is, that next patch of the game will already be on new engine version, fixing this issue 😊 As for the Copyrighted music - thank you for pointing this out, ALL our music is licensed and we have properly acquired licensing for commercial use, but we see this might get flagged in 3rd party videos, something for our Audio team to tackle. As for the difficulty - we do agree that Chapter 1 is very easy, especially for the experienced gamers, but it is intentional as we wanted to ease players into the game and serves as a part of the onboarding. The game naturally ramps up in difficulty, especially after Chapter 2. BUT you ended up with 1 HP, so maybe not too easy yeh? 😁 SPOILER ALERT - after you play 1 or 2 more runs, you will have also ITEMS and CHARACTERS unlocked. We have, ehm, 20 crazy heros waiting for you. (Playtest has 7 though). 🔥PS - the game will also feature a Co-Op and crazy endgame modes 😉 🔥PPS - and you are absolutely correct, the game indeed is in Closed Beta at the moment and all the feedback from players is heard and considered in development. Degenheim is by gamers, for gamers Cheers ❣ Team Degenheim
I really like the art style. And the humor is appreciated. I second the point about the collecting of the presents. It kills the flow of the game quite a bit.
@@heinzerhardt7047 They're not mandatory at all, they serve the purpose of potentially having something dropping, just like the jugs in Hades for example ☝️
@@heinzerhardt7047 The presents are 100% optional, you never have to touch them. They just pose an extra level of RNG to the roguelike mix with a potential to drop you something. They basically function very similar to the jugs from Hades, with the addition that they can heal you and give you powerups instead of just gold. They've been implemented due to player feedback as a different way to mix up the game and most importantly replenish health, which was one of the most derised featured 🙏
Thank you very much for the praise. The music has been getting good feedback left and right ever since we let the first players of batch in, it was actually custom-made by a small Czech studio and the rest is the magic from our sound guy, whom we've been showering with praise as well 😅
@@troymuni6120 we've had this happen randomly for ages, we managed to fix 99% of occurrences, but it seems it still pops up sometimes. There should be a log file, if you could drop that and some more info into our community discord, that would be 👍 definitely helps to troubleshoot such issues
Certain elements of the game are visually fun. Outside of that, I'm not sure what the game is trying to be. The game looks polished in some areas and not so much in others. An odd mix of ideas for the world design. Will the game explain this or leave us wondering? Doesn't feel like a lot of purpose behind many of the designs. Just fun ideas meshed together. Things I'd like to see changed: - Strong storyline or intro explaining things better. - Either zoom in closer to the character for a tighter feel because the world seems empty and doesn't have enough visual elements to fill in the empty spaces. It looks incomplete. - Overall the art is fun but gets lost because the camera is so zoomed out. - The UI seems to suffer from the same issue. Make the UI a little bigger to fill the screen more. The text on the power-up screen is readable but could use a size increase. The in game UI is really small. - Needs a lot of worldly sounds to fill the silence as you play. The music is fine but once it's off it's crickets. - Not sure how punchy the controls feel, but my guess is they need work. The character swings a big sword so that should be felt in the controls. The sound of impact needs to match as well. - Not sure if this game is going for an actual PC and Council platform look or not, but it currently looks a feels like a mobile game. - A lot of the powers used seem symmetrical and lack a natural magical feel. Feels too clean. - Lean in more with the comedic appeal during combat maybe.
Thanks a mill for the feedback! We appreciate it all. Specifically for the "the game looks polished in some areas and not so much in others" - could you tell us more? We are trying our best to make the game as polished as possible before the release, so all inputs are highly valued.
Hello there, I'm the founder of the project. Actually the inspiration for Hank was a mixture of vintage old-school bodybuilder (walkman, loose vintage clothes, headband, even an Arnold-like front teeth gap) with a bit of a redneck (mullet, pit vipers) with a 'trust me bro' attitude. This character has exactly 0 connection to Dr. Disrespect, as we'd expect doing something like that might get us into a lawsuit / would be unethical to do without any agreement and/or consent with Dr. Disrespect himself.
But it's not Dr. Disrespect at all. Believe it or not, this was the fashion for men back in the 80's. Especially fitness people. Also, Dr. Disrespect doesn't wear a headband, or tank top, or multicolored glasses, or wristbands. Also, this character has a different hair style, different hair color, doesn't have signature red color pallete that his counterpart wears, isn't slim and lanky, and mentions nothing else that is cannon in the dr. D universe. The only similar thing is the guy has a mustache and a chiseled jawline. Nice try.
u strike me as an individual thats either legitimately perpetually miserable or someone who for whatever reason, HAS to miserable so youll start senseless drama, throwing out baseless claims/accusations like a women, simply for the negative energy itll provide you to fuel ur "miserable reserves", or one of those new age volunteer virtual victims who WILL find a problem or something to be offended about out of absolutely nothing "or your money back, GUARANTEED".
@EXUDEEDUXE-e6f well my not so literarily comprehendible friend, if u read my comment and thought i was even remotely talking about dr disrespect or his situation or even remotely defending him, then unfortunately you r as dumb as u sound. where did i once bring that up??? Did it ever occur to you at least a single time while you allowed ur more feminine aligned and charged emotions to clearly "take the wheel", that i was in fact talking DIRECTLY to the OP about BASELESSY attempting to unreasonably and vindictively compare this game and 1 of its characters to dr disrespect in a false and very "catty and feminine" attempt to slander the creator of this game, by shamelessly attempting to EVEN CONSIDER involving it in any way shape or form with the shit storm disrespect put himself into with absolutely ZERO indications. Learn to fuxkin read dummy, and at least try to understand what it is that ur reading before u right an emotionally fueled and ridiculous response full of presumptuous and false accusations like a petty little bitch.

hahaha und ich hab gedacht mein headset ist kaputt wo ich dann deine stimme gehört hatte wegen dem copyright gedöns
How bizarre that only some of the music gets claimed.

Music and decorations definitely add some points to this game

I like the art and degenism
Thank you for the kind words, will show that to our co-founder, who's the main artist behind most of the art. Also, wanna give the game a go?
Oh look, kids grew up a little and learned how to program a game..
Hank "the tank". It's Dr Disrespect lmao. The game is so dead because of that alone. That's soooooo cringe. Why didn't thay change it??
