I understand the ocean thing. I grew up with mountains in all four directions. Twenty five years later I moved, and no mountains in sight. Twenty seven years after that, and I still miss those mountains.
Yes, i lived in a very mountain heavy town, like, the only flat land is in downtown, and everything is uphill from there, now i moved to a plateau, and its just weird, like, what do you mean i can just, bike there? And not have to push the bike up a massive winding road? And than not die riding down?
I've got the same thing, but with mountains. Who needs the ocean, there's sharks and giant squids and weird monsters that want to eat you. Mountains just have bears and cougars, and they usually leave you alone (but if they don't, at least you can see them and they're limited to gravity instead of free swimming everywhere)
Your rant about living by the ocean makes a ton of sense. I grew up near huge mountain ranges and if I don't see them on the horizon, the world feels almost alien and wrong. I moved out of the state for a few months, but it never felt like home and it was only when I returned that I realized why.
I'm the kind of lunatic in these kind of games to pick out insane locations (I saw a tiny patch of desert land between the continents that's like only 1 or 2 spaces on the map, I'd pick that.).
Realtor: This is a very nice house that's very affordable. Splattercat: Is there an ocean 5 minutes away from here? Realtor: No Splattercat: *vanishes*
I have a very good friend that this would be his jam. I have passed this on to him to watch for it to be finished and pick up when it is finished, maybe sooner if he likes what he sees in the beta state.
I completely agree about living near water. I grew up living everywhere to include an island. I NEVER want to be land locked or living on a island ever again. I currently live near water and have no plans of ever moving.
I don't think this is a game I'll be playing just yet, but I'll keep an eye on it. It looks like something you'd get if Dwarf Fortress and Terraria had a love child.
I think it's the first game I've seen where bunnies are produced by miners, by mining for veins of bunny'ium or bunny'ite underground. I think I'll have to consult a geologist for details.
The timber cross beams are called wattle. Hol' up, lemme get the definition: Wattle and daub is a composite building method used for making walls and buildings, in which a woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw.
Went to wishlist it and completely forgot I already bought this game the last time you showed it off. Only 1hr on my playtime - I vaguely remember having some AI problem and deciding to come back later. Looks like now is later.
it looks great. I would say the AI needs to be improved. maybe a marking system on placement. I noticed you wanted them to fill in the dirt and they just chose a random spot. a bit more UI and some polish and I think it would be a great game.
I bought Grim Nights a while ago. It was a little meh for me; a bit lacking in content for my taste, but I liked the idea. I wish they had improved the original game a little more before jumping into a sequel...
He probably won't, as it's likely getting all the promotion it needs as is. But he is a 40k nerd (like so many of the rest of us), so I could be wrong.
@@DrBunnyMedicinal Indie games and lesser known games may well be his bread and butter content. But he has played several 40k games on the channel already. So he does cover games based on personal passion too.
Since I began following this channel I learned a few things about the current indie game developers. 1. Most of the time they use "retro" graphics, that look like shit. Just plain ugly. They say it's retro, but I think it's because they can't do better. 2. Most of the games are either colony builders, survival or rogue-likes or a combination there of. I'm not saying there aren't many great looking and very interesting indie games there, but these are trends I find tiresome and annoying in general. Like, there are a few games I've seen, where the retro-art is done in a really appealing way, because yeah, there were good-looking games even in the 8 and 16t bit era, and I've played them back then, because I'm that old. So it's not like I am a little kid who just doesn't like old style graphics, but I am glad that games look better today. Most of them though, it's like they think retro means ugly and makes it easier for them, and that kind of annoys me.
As someone who also lived through the 8 and 16 bit eras, I find this fascination with pixel art kind of stupid. Those of us who did our time staring at blocks of up to four whole different colors (such luxury over the monochrome we enjoyed previously) would've given our left legs and sold our grandmothers for graphics that at least _vaguely_ resembled what they were supposed to be. And it's kind of telling how these people absolutely jizz their pants over NES- and SNES-level graphics, yet nobody's trying to replicate the graphical fidelity of Combat or Pac-Man for the Atari VCS or audio that nothing more than beeps, buzzes and hissing. It's like, are you 'retro aficionados' or not? It honestly just feels like a current-day form of hipster-ism.
I find that pixel art doesn't age as fast and as badly as "realistic" graphics. But I also find realism ugly as hell most of the time, so I must be biased 😄
I mean, this channel as a whole is a filter. You're only seeing the games that splattercat feels like covering, if you want to see other offerings there are ways to find them.
@@ItsMrAssholeToYou That for one, and like I wrote it's way easier to do than anything resembling modern graphics. I know a few people who have a real interest in this kind of retro-art and that I respect, even though it is still nothing I can understand or follow, but yeah a lot of it is what we used to call just posers trying to be hip but following a trend that was already old a year ago. 🙂
I hate these "everything is generated" games. Makes everything generic.I much prefer a game where the developer actually had something to tell with a unique story, not simple mechanics.
I understand the ocean thing. I grew up with mountains in all four directions. Twenty five years later I moved, and no mountains in sight. Twenty seven years after that, and I still miss those mountains.
I live in a landlocked area with mountains to our west whenever i travel i instictivly look for the missing mountains on the horizon
I love Colorado. Mountains to the west that glow at dusk
@@carltheoneeye9353 why they be glowin?
@@bozdra Could be the sun, sometimes that makes things glow at dusk. Or gold. Definitely gold.

The crest you made almost forced me to say "Glory to Arstotzka" out loud.
Death to Kolechia
For Kolechia! I might be on a list now.

The style of UI and how the units go about building and interacting with things reminds me of "Craft the World"

The little boards that are put up on walls to plaster over are called lath.
If you can't find metal stucco lath, use carbon fibre stucco lath!
As somebody who grew up in the steppe, I've learned a new word today: landlocked 😂
That's interesting I've always been landlocked, I find living near water too open
Rising sea levels will eventually swallow up shore-dwellers. Terrifying.
@@GregoryTheGr8ster No no, Ben Shapiro said that they'll just sell their house to Aquaman!
it'll be fine trust me guys
This game has some depth. I dig it. 😏
Realtor: This is a very nice house that's very affordable.

splat, you should play this on twitch, id like to see more than 30min
Looks like a nice step up from Grim Nights

A comment for the algorithm, so more eyes get to see this little gem of game and Splattercat's lovely channel! :D
It's like 2D Dwarf Fortress.
I'm just kidding, don't crucify me
You introduced me to Grim nights, I Loved it....This one looks even better albiet a few bugs to iron out first.
"Extra strength bad at their jobs" lol
Food? Who needs food! Wait Ian why are you always sleeping? Get up! What are you, dead?
Love how you say access-ability!
Nice beautiful only bangers with splatt
hey weird I'm the same way about the ocean, I thought I was the only one. I always think Mid-West I'd feel weird with no ocean around.
Well, this looks charming and fun. Maybe not the deepest game in the world, but they don't all have to be, either.
Might be totally dependent on how far you dig...Buh dump tiss.
@@lucaisgarden7005 😏🤦
Thanks for showcasing. ^^
I think it's the first game I've seen where bunnies are produced by miners, by mining for veins of bunny'ium or bunny'ite underground. I think I'll have to consult a geologist for details.
I have it on good authority that rat might taste like pumpkin f'n pie.
Mix of Craft the World, RimWorld and Kingdom. And Sheltered.
Dwarf Fortress is the elephant in the room.
@@Baraz_Red dwarf fortress is the room
Just tossing a like and leaving a comment. Keep up the good work!
Games like this have all the charm but need polish. AAA used to do both. Now they normally lack both
Thanks for the video.

Thanks for another great video!
I feel pretty cornered with the ocean on one side of me.
Can't wait for the stream
Went to wishlist it and completely forgot I already bought this game the last time you showed it off. Only 1hr on my playtime - I vaguely remember having some AI problem and deciding to come back later. Looks like now is later.
looking forward to the twitch!
It's a Tower Defense game in disguise. Very similar in pacing and structure to Craft The World.
mr splat i have to say that lately you make we wanna have some games :)
Reminds me of Kingdom.
Ian isn’t good at melee, he’s good with a crossbow tho, you may want to make Brody the fighter and Ioan
He's diddling the old leather rack huh?
I feel similarly to you but instead of ocean I need a forest. (at least 40 acres)
Exactly the same only different
Sick to death of survival games
it looks great. I would say the AI needs to be improved. maybe a marking system on placement. I noticed you wanted them to fill in the dirt and they just chose a random spot. a bit more UI and some polish and I think it would be a great game.
🖤
Basically its Craft the world
Why a hood icon instead of an axe icon on the trees to be chopped?
Lover your Vids bro! First AF
love*
Does fall damage hurt zombies? And if it's deep enough does it kill them?
I bought Grim Nights a while ago. It was a little meh for me; a bit lacking in content for my taste, but I liked the idea. I wish they had improved the original game a little more before jumping into a sequel...
This actually looks pretty fun.
can you link back to the previous game? id love to watch that one too
graphics remind me the atari games
Terraria meets Rimworld
cant even pirate this game
Mmmmm Super Bros…
how cain I fire an arrow?
I am not liking the weird combination of perspectives. Oof, “undead” noises are super uncomfortable too.
boop 😅😉

So this is like a worse terraria?
Apocalypse + Zombies + Medieval + Colony. Wow, all indie cliches in just one unified mess. What a terrible idea.
