Thanks for watching!
This seems like a pretty cool game, the controls seem very fast, and the art style is very nice and cartoony, even at a high resolution
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words
Hey is this gonna be free??😅
A Zelda combined with Terraria? Cool.
@@bullseye8356 Probably not, but who knows? Not me...
I wish you could add lots of places to visit unlike stardew valley, id love an open world like World of Warcraft ! Also add weird hidden stuff !
Looks good dude. The UIs look really nice
Thanks! I definitely still need to do something with the date/time stuff, it's a placeholder for now :) Your game is looking fantastic
hey guys good news you are the best devs and i promise if you make android game i will get 5 rates yup you are not dreaming

Play
AJA, i knew u where here
This Game looks really nice :) hope you keep up making the game!
I will!
I'd recommend that you at least make auto-pick-up an option. Some people may prefer it and persons with disabilities may appreciate it
I agree with a auto pickup option, your already doing a action to chop down a tree, having to walk to every log and pick them up 1 by 1 feels tedious to me
Unless the dev decided to go to the AC NH route
@@slackjawedpenguin3306 what does that mean?
Animal Crossing New Horizons
@@tysonfontanez But its annoying in that game
i just love seeing developers playing around and enjoying their own game. looks really cool as well haha :D
Wow looks really good and promising. Make sure to mention to add this game to wishlist on steam cause it is a big factor in the steam algorithm about how much they will suggest your game, and do a lot of teasers around the interenet and obviously create a community that will play your game when it just comes out :D anyway good luck with that i am following !
Thanks for the reminder! Well it's a bit late to mention it now but I'll make sure to try to do it in my next video... for now, you can go wishlist it on steam!

@@Konitama sure already wishlksted it :)
I’m so happy this video was in my recommendations
I'm happy that you're happy!
Same
I would just like to say, i love this so much it. It has this awesome cartoony artstyle, and it's got a nice system to it. Please keep at it!!!
I like the "*smack*" humour and other editing humor. Keep it up. Was a good vid. Your game looks great.
TH-cam recommended a 5-day-old video from a channel with 300 subs! Cloudscape is looking good; I really dig your UI. Subbed!
The ways of TH-cam algorithms are strange indeed
This is 3rd game similar to what I want to do:) Forager, Keeper, and this one, I love all but so far this one is looking really cool, I really really like forager and I want to make something similar but searching on youtube I see a lot of people doing something similar, anyways, so far this is looking really good, great work man👌
I think a lot of people are wanting games similar to this! I've been wanting a game like this for over a decade. So far all the released games fill some of that desire but still leave me wanting more.
5 minutes in and I already love this first devlog!
Gonna check out the rest after this
Thank you!
It is very rare to find a game with so much charm and simplicity. I love what I've seen so far, keep up the good work.
Hey man! Everything about this game makes me really excited! This is the kind of game I would love to play! I've gotta see more of this! Continue making more devlogs please!
I'm on it!
thank god ytb finally has recommend me a talented man . Great job dude i'm happy that i found ure channel.
I love all of the graphics as well as the ambient music. Can't wait until it's released
Rlly rlly great project, we can see how much effort you are putting into this.
Thanks! It's good to be seen
There was a lot more here than I expected when I started watching! I think this is a great start to a project, excited to see what happens next.
Just discovered this what seemed pretty much out of nowhere (Thanks youtube!) and I already know I'm going to adore this game when its released. It makes me think of so many of my favorite games, but it feels like its own. You've done a fantastic job and I can't wait to see the finished game! The sprites are so adorable as well, I love the sprites and the menu icons!
Thanks! Glad you're liking it so far :)
The art style is really awesome, I'm gonna watch every single video to see more of your progress!
This was recommended to me by youtube today, only 600 subs and your content is already moving around the platform. Good work!
Thanks! I'm really surprised how fast it's spreading around!
Oh man i LOVE your gamedevs videos! I don't understand any because i speak spanish, but IS nota a problem, your videos are incredible!!!!
Came from youtube recommendation, looks very cool game, i loved colors
Thanks!
Heck ya, I have been following your progress on Reddit. Great to see you are making a dev log. Happy to subscribe.
Frigin Awesome!! 💗💗💗 So much to do can not Wait, Time to Wishlist on steam!!👍👍
This looks really fun! Also I like very much the art style! Please keep working on this, it's very fun to watch!
Looks pretty good and promising so far.
Hell yeah brother! I’m subbed for rest of the dev logs!
I share the same view on items not being auto collected. As you said it takes interaction off the game and in my opinion gives you control on what you want to pick up and what to leave behind, saving you time from putting unwanted items in your inventory and then trying to find them and discard them. The art style of the game looks amazing and i like your take on the genre. Hope to see more soon!
Yeah I'm glad you get it. I think people like auto-pickup for the convenience but quickly forget that it means you're going to pick up a lot of stuff you might not want, and then you have to spend time cleaning out your inventory.
This game seems incredibly promising, I'm excited to see more! :>
This game looks so good so far! I really liked watching this dev log! It was really interesting and I encourage you to do more!
Just discovered your channel, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this game progresses
Awesome! :)
first of all I loved the idea of manually picking and being able to throw them, it both adds more realism and a game mechanic where you can use found items to throws certain points to solve puzzles or draw attention of monster away from you etc.
This looks incredible! Just started learning game dev recently and this was really encouraging to see. Keep up the good work! Definitely looking forward to the next dev log
Hello, This game looks really fun! I already love it and I'm really forward to see more of your dev logs in the future!
This seems really promising! Also your assets are absolutely GEORGOUS, I adore the look of everything here!
I would never think this was a indie game! Looks very good. Subcribed
Thanks I appreciate that compliment :)
i am so excited for the game
just keep going and we will be with you
This looks great, very nice art. Really really good, you must have been working on this for quite a while. This is a really small thing but I think when you pick up an item it should go straight into your quick access toolbar instead of the inventory if you have space. And its obvious this is gonna be optimised for controlled but it might be a good idea to have mouse functionality in the inventory and menus (if you dont already). It must be annoying having so many people sh!t out ideas for you in the comments. Anyway good job I will be watching your devlogs for the foreseeable future :D
There's been some good points made with the item pick-up stuff... I'm actually addressing that issue in this week's development. :) Thanks for the comments. I actually appreciate any ideas or feedback as it will help to improve the game overall.
Looks Really nice! count me in as your 559th subscriber! would love to see future videos!
Wow, this game is already looking awesome! The UI looks great!
Just wanted to drop yet another encouraging comment cause this looks very very very cool indeed. It's gorgeous and you can tell how much love and care you put into it. I wish you nothing but the best and will definitely be following your progress! ☺️ Looking forward to more!
Thank you! I appreciate all of the positive encouraging comments :)
This game looks awesome! I'm just starting with indie dev and it's cool to see the progress others have made.
Neat little game concept, some parts of it are really polished already!
Im about to start a devlog myself, after a few false starts, so this was super motivating to see. Cant wait to see more, ill be following this one closely :)
Damn, you indie devs! Brings out the best in me! If you gain 100k subs, please tell us in a video how you became a developer in the first place
Looks good, I will definitely be following
Same
Looks great so far. Looking forward to watching more videos!
Wauw, this game looks really nice!!! I love your art style!
Looks great so far! The new title screen looks polished!
The skill menu is SO CUTE the drawings are so simple and well done. Looking forward to whatever else you make.
I don’t usually sub and click the notification bell right away, but after these five videos I already love your channel. You did this perfectly!
That's amazing. You deserve more than 4K subs!
Thanks!
Looks good. I'm sure I'll have to catch your future dev logs.
I love the art style! I hope everything goes well and I wish you all the inspiration you need :)
TH-cam keeps recommending me GameDev channels and I'm just keep subscribing
Same, and I'm enjoying it :)
That looks amazing and your work is beautiful
Thank you so much!
I love devlogs and youtube knows, you've got a new subscriber
I love indie devlogs and I cannot lie 8)
That’s actually really cool man, keep the videos coming, I’m sure a lot of people would love this
This looks great!! I cant wait to see the finished product!! :D
From one indie dev to another, you have my utmost support. Hope it all works out, best of luck! :)
Thanks for sharing! Excited to learn more about the game!
I love this kind of artstyle for a game so cute❤
Looks good man keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
It is super complex. Sometimes it's easy to get lost but I wish you to stay motivated and hope you finish the game!
Your game looks great, amazing pixel art! UI and animations nice as well.
Thank you! That means a lot
this seems like a pretty cool game cant wait to see more
Game looks REAL nice! Especially it being made by just you alone.
Yep it's just me. Thanks!
Looks great! Looking forward for future devlogs
Not sure if I love or hate this type of videos.
Love them cause it's amazing to see a dev's work, the effort, time and passion put into it.
Hate them cause after watching them I GET WAY TOO IMPATIENT TO PLAY THOSE GORGEOUS GAMES.
Jk. Have a nice day everyone
Haha thanks! Like your penguin avatar :)
You have an amazing game!
The graphics look amazing!
this is an interesting start however, the game feels like its lacking a major theme besides just resource gathering, basic enemy combat and crafting. the art style is pretty generic but I like the unique design of the character. for the devlogs, people wont really care about what keys do what, you can always add key binding as an option in the game. lastly, if you have to fast forward through gathering just a small amount of resources, that will become very annoying very quickly. consider either speeding up resource collection or something else to make that part of the game less boring and repetitious. anyways, those are just my suggestions, do what you want with them and good luck on the game!
This looks really nice! The mechanic that you pick the resource up first was a very good decision - it makes the resources feel much more physical and present, not just abstract icons.
Indie dev logs are so motivating
cant wait to see you grow
Very cool, good job!
Thanks! It's dev logs like yours that inspired me to try :)
So far,I'm loving this game honestly,keep going I'm sure it'll be a great game!
Congrats to 1.000 subs!
Thanks!
It's a more relaxing and realistic minecraft I like the dimmer areas of the forest with the cloud and all :) so beautiful to establish a mini base there :3
this game looks so cool..i really want to play this game
Hay as long as you don’t pull a yandere dev you have my full support
This is on my radar now! Im super keen!
I was just thinking for like WAYY down the line but a character customizer seems cool, the player character seems very customizable with different hair/face accessories/skin tone options. I really love the art style, keep up the good work! :-)
Already have it all implemented just need to actually make use of it :)
your subscriber count is going to jump up in a very short time, keep up the good work :D
I'm already blown away that it's jumped up 200 subscribers in 3 days! The support is overwhelming :)
Nice ! It seems so polished in some aspects and with a bunch of potential ! The art is really cute and well thought in the menus.
omg I love it! I literaly can't wait for the release!
Towery
This looks amazing! I am excited to see where this goes!
Added it to my wishlist, looks great so far
very cool!
wow man, u have me engaged and its just a devlog, congrats!
Point of feedback: I didn't even notice that the build preview was two different colors. The contrast of the red and green are low enough that my colorblindness obscured it.
Kind of getting forager vibes from this and I love it! The art style is amazing and the animations are clean too! Saying that this game is in early development it already looks like an almost completed game! Keep up the good work!
Glad you like it!
This is awesome!! Keep up the good work!
oh dang i just found this and it looks really nice! I think im gonna binge all the other devlogs now
Woah, now this seems like my dream game I always wanted to play. It’s really looking great! Keep at it!!
Excited to see the development of ur game :)
I like how this looks! Knowing you made this by yourself is so impressive.
just by looking at the thumbnail u know its a good game
That's insane bro! Keep up the good work
Nice job man !! The game look good and the mechanic are interesting !! Keep it up :)
This looks really cute and promising! The graphics and UI 👏 I usually seem to go for/am interested in games such as these so I’ll be keeping an eye out- keep up the great work! ^^
Thanks! Glad you like it
This game looks great so far excited for what’s to come!
