I was shocked by how satisfying the animation looked right from the start
same
Video is just normal till animations than i shocked too
Me2
seems like he is been doing his job pretty good for the past 8 years :D
When did billy get a body
God, calm down.It's 1st devlog, and you just did that whole polished player in it.
I love the anims btw.
Yeah a dev log starting from the very beginning with an empty unity project would be kinda boring.
He's speedrunning this
He's an animator lol
i honestly squealed when he jumped the first time. so making it cute was a success haha
Amazing hahaha. I'm very happy with that reaction
@@RobertThomsonDev I like the way you think, those simplistic lego mechs are really cool. I think I will use them as well for a proof of concept.
My first reaction: This looks interesting.
Once the robot starts moving: Holy shit this already looks awesome and cool like what!!!! Damn that animation is pristine.
Stunning animation, I could spend hours just looking at you moving arround, great work !
so true
same
For when the bot does a long jump have it say “yahoo” just like Mario 64 but in beeps
beepoo?
taroo!
beepooooo
Say yahoo in binary!
@Vinold Ofoeze-Morrison so many numbers just for 5 letters. God
Would love to see a slightly different model when he rolls, kind of like he's a transformer so he turns into more of a ball/his parts come together more
Agree. It's so square it looks a bit strange that it rolls. having wheels on the "knees" or arms and gliding on those like a car could work, and I'm sure that would open up more opportunities for drifting and stuff if you wanna go down that route.
i love that idea i thought of that as well
No idea why this popped up on my recommended page, but it looks cool. Good luck on your dev journey! :)
Well I'm grateful that it did! Thanks very much and thanks for clicking 😁
Popped up on my phone too. Glad it did. Great devlogs you got there :)
It's crazy how the animation alone made me want to play this character!
I enjoyed this so much, already looks so good. Subscribed with notifications on 👍

munanyo
Me too :D
Noice
Didn't you make that shrek video
All these independent developers sharing their journies with us is amazing
"I'm designing this game with speedrunning in mind". You sir have caught my attention and earned a sub xD
the animations are soooo adorable omg
I like 3D platformers too
I'm so glad you're making this with speedrunning in mind, I think this sort of mindset will hopefully allow more ways for people to get into the game. Good luck man!
Damn those animations look clean as f
Holy moly, I really like what I'm seeing here! I can tell you've put a lot of thought into movement and speedrunning. Keep it up!
Sidenote: Do you watch IGN's Developers React to speedruns of their game? I feel like you would enjoy it.
I do! I love those videos, I think it's the best idea IGN's had in years! And thank you so much! I will try my best :)
@@RobertThomsonDev yup! So entertaining!
I'm personally into the Evangelion mech stuff, but I also think lego mechs are super cool! The animation already looks great and I like how much thought is going into the player movement - keep up the great work!
are you more of a huge mechs person or a minibot type person?
@@garorade Hard to say - I do like mechs across pretty much the whole size spectrum, but I will say I am a fan of vehicle sized mechs!
@Mythic Legion when will you release a new video????
bro releASE A VID NOW!
This was recommended to me and I regret not clicking on it the second I saw it
That's a really solid basis for the game! Nice to see a professional animator approach a whole game, oh, and also: "BUH"
a wild Jelle appeared!
I have almost no technical knowledge about game development and coding. But, I have recently started watching coding and game devlogs only as an entertainment choice. I must confess that, from everything I have watched so far, not only had you the most systematic and wise development methodology, but you ended up with an extremely ideal mechanics in the end. Great job
Wow that movement looks so incredibly smooth! Nice job! I love the art style, can’t wait to see where this game goes.
Looking awesome! I'm a huge fan of SM64's movement, especially for its time. I'm seeing a lot of it in your project, especially in the bounciness of the character! Glad you're tackling your dream project head-on, I recently got in to Game Dev (previously a full-time musician) and have been having so much fun!
Giving birth to Robert DeNiro is actually a quintessential part of the filmmaking industry
I love devlogs so much. Can't wait to watch the growth! :D
This game looks amazing. I loved seeing the animations! I love the little running animation, to me it seems like the robot is running playfully/like a child which I just love the look of.
I think it would be cool that when he long jumps, little rockets come out from his back and boost him. Anyways, this is looking great, can't wait to watch more!
That's a great idea! Will definitely be adding that at some point, thanks!
i thought the same, also him turning into a car when rolling, because it felt weird for a boxy robot just roll as if he was round
Or maybe a jetpack?
Edit: fixed typo
Subscribed with notifications on, really keen to see how this game turns out and love how you've layed out the video, really smooth and I'm actually interested in what you're talking about. Great work!
I love your comparison of having to birth Robert Dinero to be part of your film.. best explanation ever on the benefits of not building everything from the ground up.
Ive been into devlogs for a little while now and im glad you popped up on my reccomended, this looks great already.
The animations already look so good! I love this!
Remember me when you have 1 Million Subs, under 3K Gang :)
Amazing how far the channels come. Way more confidence in the newer videos. Keep it up
That subreddit is so cool haha. Also your little robot's animations are so bouncy and cute! Amazing first devlog, I subbed to see how this goes. I want to learn to do 3D someday, I'm making a 2d devlog now :D
THIS IS SO GOOD!! I’m so happy I found this! Quality video man! And this looks absolutely stunning already for a first devlog I’ll be happily following your process !
I am so glad I saw this chanel because I love your idea in mind and the animation is just what I love.
this is sick man, your passion for making the gameplay satisfying with all these little details you found from playing platformers over the years is really admirable
This looks sick so far, hope this goes far
I've rewatched these over and over in anticipation for the next devlog
This looks amazing so far I wish you luck on your solo game making journey and can’t wait to watch your progress
Cant wait to see more of this!!
Game's already looking amazing and the cute little robot running and jumping around so smoothly, I can tell this is gonna be big. 👍 Subbed
Liked and subscribed - one of the most interesting dev logs I've seen on TH-cam, keep going my man!
This is gonna be fun to watch
Subscribed with notifications on already. I absolutely love Devlogs, especially Indie Game Devlogs! I want to play this so badly
Interestingly, I really liked your first main character iteration. Your game inspiration consists of some of my favorite games, good start and good job so far.
This looks AMAZING 😍
well i love everything about this so far
Already looks awesome, excited to see how this ends up. :)
i like where your going because seeing advanced movement is more fun to watch, harder to do but is sooooo much more fun when you do it
This game looks so good! I can't wait to play it when it comes out!
Looking very good so far man! Loving the animations. I'm currently working on my adventure game devlog as well and you provided some nice stuff to think about for my own game. Cheers.
Omg ur editing skills are absolutely incredible man
Wow, this already looks really polished as far as movement goes. Excited to see the levels you come up with.
Very excited to continue following your progress. As a fellow fan of Jak and Daxter and 3D platformers, I can already tell how cool this is going to look (and already looks). Stay focused, don't get discouraged. Keep the great work going!
wow those animations. so satisfying
Holy crap this is cool! Can't wait for more! You've earned a sub!
Love it. Imma tune into this.
Found the 4th devlog in my reccomended skipped back here to start from the beginning. Loved the series so much.
3D artist here! Really wonderful animation work. It makes the character (and the whole experience) pop so much. Incredible.
Man this looks incredible! The animation is so bouncy and satisfying, this is going to be epic!
All the little details like the wall camera thing are great aswell, I have it when the camera clips into my head and then gets stuck there
The character is also very cute so no worries there haha :>
Great job! This was so fun to watch!!
this looks really interesting! I could definitely see myself running around through obstacles and levels as this guy. great work!
I love that animation, stuning!! 💓💓💓
Animation is godly .. really good job it's one of the best I've seen so far
omg just running around that test scene looks so fun
You haven’t even made a level yet and this already almost looks like a finished product. The animations are so smooth and satisfying and the way the player controls looks really fun! Definitely gonna keep following this devlog! This is incredible!
DUDE!! the first animation pass was shockingly good! and already having a long jump and a ROLL... i genuinely am sold on this game already. Odyssey is one of my favorites as well. amazing stuff
It's been one hell of a year. Love your content man keep it up.
Very useful tips on Unity optimization, physics and animations. Thank you very much!
Just downloaded all devlogs so far, good shit!
This looks really good! I would love to see some of your older projects!
This is awesome, really like how you talked through your inspirations, goals and thought process as you started working on the character and controls. Already looking slick but you're an animator as you say. Looking forward to following this, big fan of the old Jak & Daxter games too
Woah, an amazing journey!
Thanks for sharing, I learnt a lot from you about platform character control now :)
Good luck on the project mate. You've got a great approach and the consideration that you've put into movement goes well past making a fun platformer. Thanks
Thanks man! I'm so glad you think so!
@@RobertThomsonDev Oh and as a tip for adding to your movement profiles; how about adding a slide mechanic from the run, it fits with your speed run focus and it's a fun little move that you could use to get through tight spaces / low overhangs?
Wow your dev logs are amazing I hope this will be amazing story about you and your career
The animation on the main robot guy were UNBELIEVABLY good!
Great work man.
Oh wow! Great start that looks amazing!
3d collectathons have always been my favorite genre ive always been shocked that there are barely any out there so cool to see this devlog excited to see where it goes
that robot looks cute and awesome already =)
I love this little character so much
Excited to see this project evolve!
Looking at your latest Dev logs to this one, It seems you've done what we all do in our learning process. Everything in this vlog was perfect. Keep it small xyz, for speed runners etc. In your last few logs you kept growing the scope of the game without finishing the core game loop. A pit I've fallen into many a time. Treat this like your few week long games and you'd be surprised what you could do with it! Limitation creates innovation.
Absolutely amazing, keep it up man! Been thinking about an idea for a platform a myself for quite some time!
That is awesome! I am so excited for this!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it 😊
I love how you talk about your jump from Animation to GameDev.
I've been an animator for about 3 years, I'm still learning a lot and I consider myself a beginner.
I've been always a gaming guy and loved the idea of creating a game. I'm hoping some years from now I'll be doing that with my childhood friend that is right now studying computer graphics. Joining is knowledge of programming with my own design and animation knowledge will be fun!
Thanks for the inspiration 😁 You got a sub!
Congrats with your step ahead! I hope sometime I'll get enough courage to start a handle a bigger project than just jam games and prototypes.
Good to see someone with motivation, looks good, keep it up
Well done! I really like the controls😄👍
Great Start ! Keep it up !
I like your thinking, keep it simple.
This already looks so interesting, can't wait to see more!!
I just discovered your channel n u make it sound so easy, that just brings me to want to do it or try it again
wow your animation knowledge shows really strong on this , as soon as the character started moving the game looked inmediately professional.
its a mess there are so many underrated channels like yours keep up the amazing videos love to see you making your dream game
the animations look SO GOOD
Dam man... you make it look easy!
Amazing video and amazing game so far! :D
I have gotten crazy making movement for the player that works for my game, so I understand the unity struggle!
(not getting anyone to test my game doesn't help improve it )
KEEP UP the cool dev and content!
It looks so cool
Thanks man!!
very inspiring, ive been depressed recently and this made me happy man thank you!
9:15 robert showing the tutorial
me looking at the videos on the side, good job with animations you are great keep going
