      I love the development of your game but I hope that you work on a marketing strategy.
      I watch the indie developer who may made "We who are about to die" and was impressed by the level of detail and methods he used in promoting his game even to what day to release it.
      th-cam.com/video/bhVNu54_T8s/w-d-xo.html
      As a solo developer and coder maybe do some research and upskilling in game marketing so you work get more rewarded at the end.
      BTW Impressed with the work , family , personal and solo game development balance :)

    Lost Relic, I've been following the progression of your game development journey for a little over a year now, and I hope you know that you serve as a huge inspiration for me (and I am sure plenty other of indie developers as well). It's nice to see that you set aside time to be human and that you take time to implement mechanics you find meaningful to the gameplay. Thanks for releasing videos and sharing the behind the scenes. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished game. Keep up the good work :D

      Agree with this- I'm finishing up my first ever game now (while mostly being a stay-at-home Dad at the moment) and it's really helpful to get motivation and ideas from your videos. 👍

    Your blood and gore effects are so… extra. The very definition of the word ‘juice’.

    Also, you seem like a great fun dad as well as a wise game dev dude 😊

    Was a great privilege to play this latest build of Blood and Mead with you , my friend! There's so much in the game that has not been revealed yet, I'm excited for people to check it out. Especially the 'mead' stuff, holy hell that is epic. The game is tough and challenging, but rewards patience and timing. Been a great year of dev once again , here's to doing it all in 2024 mate! Cheers, Oli

  • @Vesrayech
    @Vesrayech 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    One of my favorite game journeys to follow. I think the game is made better by you taking your time with it and enjoying life rather than slaving away to put something out as soon as possible. Greatness is easier to achieve when your house is in order, and this devlog is evidence of that. Keep it up ♥

  • @DroideYT

    I'm really glad that there are new details about the development of Blood And Mead. When I see such videos, I understand that the life of indie developers is not all about game development (as you rightly pointed out). In general, I'm happy that you continue to release videos, looking forward to the game's release, and I hope to keep working on my own project in a similar way.

    @rumbleroocomics 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    While watching the test play of the game I noticed you could add something on Theme to when the character dies. Instead of "Dead" being the game over text have "Valhalla is Calling" with Valkyries swooping down to take you back to the last checkpoint. To add even more complexity have "Valhalla" trigger only if you die to an enemy where any other environmental or self caused death trigger the "You have disappointed your ancestors"

    @Chubzdoomer 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3
