What's the game at 2:51?

Hi, I just downloaded the demo today and it seems fun so far. Just wondering as of 19/09/24 if the current controls are the updated ones or not? The controls are ok but not as responsive as Celeste but I am also getting use to the teleport mechanic. As for early feedback - I only did the first two levels, as someone who does not play this genre much and just wanted to see what the character controls were like, it took me a couple of minutes to figure out that there is one orb and multiple orbs which give multiple teleports. So at the first point where you need to use multiple teleports to get up, I thought I had to wall jump (was too big to wall jump but I tried.... more times than I wish to state) before realising I had teleports left. The first time you show that yellow orb to signify they have a teleport, you should do the same when a multi orb is picked up to explain to newcomer you have more than one teleport. The other major grip was the backgrounds. It's difficult to see what can and cannot be jumped on in the temple level part (level 2). Maybe darken certain elements or something. It can be frustrating to realise, oh that step I can jump on and I can't on the other one, especially after you wasted a teleport to get to a dead end but don't feel it's your fault as you had no way of knowing there was nothing jumpable that way. Otherwise game looks good, controls are ok, story is fine but I'm not that interested, hard to relate to having a sickness but it's also too early to judge. Platforming sections are decent. Just seems solid overall. There are some sections where if you "fail" you have to die because you need more teleports but I guess that's just game design. Keep up the good job.

Low entry barrier(but hard to get right or stand out), very simple production 'pipeline', overall low project cost

This is on my bucket list of events to attend. Its hard as a solo dev finding the resources to allocate and also time away from the day job. Watching your experience has me more motivated to hopefully demo my game there next year. Cheers!

SO awesome getting to meet y’all and play your game. Easily one of my favorites of the whole weekend. Can’t WAIT to play the whole thing!

Whenever I see a pixel art game I'm instantly more inclined to like it instead of ultra realistic 3d graphics, gta San Andreas was considered super real when it came out, if you pick an older game like chrono trigger for snes it still looks good to this day because it ages way better Keep up the good work amazing pixel artists!! Og Pokémon from gen 3-5 is where we at!

I wish pixel art would disappear from video games personally. I've no problems with 2D-games, I just prefer when they use vector art or hand drawings. Pixel art is just too blurry. I've played games since the 90s, so I'm no stranger to pixel art. but back then, there were no other options to render art. Nowadays, there are options, you don't have to make your characters look like square blobs.

Great story/video. Best luck to your game, look forward to seeing what happens next.

I think the most visually stunning pixel art game i have seen is rain world

What’s the game at 1:18 and where can I play it?

Whats the game from 0:24?

I discovered tethergeist when i went to pax, and all I can say is open up the damn Kickstarter already so I can give you all my money! I'm so excited for the full release you cannot imagine. I have the sticker I got from playing the demo right on my phone.

hey! I got to play y'alls game at Pax. Super cool stuff, glad the you felt like it was an overall positive experience!

what an awesome trip! so happy for you guys! I really wish I coulda made it and met you guys, but I'm not headed back up north till this weekend 🥲

I loved this video, I'll never forget my first PAX showing my game, such a good memory

I don't think you can use the general ~10% conversion rate for wishlists in your analysis. I don't know what it should be, but players coming across a game they like online and wishlisting it is very different from them coming across it IRL at a convention, playing it (or watching it), and deciding to wishlist. I'd at least double the rate ... which would have you "break even" from just that. But your next point makes that all moot, the connections made, buzz generated, and validation is definitely worth it! Congrats on it going so well.

Thank you so much for those wearing a mask and allowing this event to be safer. <3 Your booth looks great, btw!

I really appreciate this insight into attending PAX West. I had meant to attend, but unfortunately, my game isn't ready yet, and from the looks of it, my wallet wasn't ready either! I may attend PAX East, but knowing now how much it's gonna cost, I may reconsider, or just start saving for it Now.

Thanks you for inspire me! I wish I brought my game Grandpa High on Retro to PAX, sounds like a awesome experience for you and as a couple. My wife is helping me aswell on our video game and I know that showing off the game on PAX and seeing the booth with a game that you have been making with your spouse has to been a experience of a lifetime, one you look back when drinking tee on the porch with your spouse. Congrats!

Ngl im probably gonna buy ur game. I dont even when i subscribed to you

Whats the game from the thumbnail?

Imo things like that are worth it for the fun, satisfaction, morale boost and connections. Assuming you can afford it.

Well deserved attention, kudos. You guys are doing all with so much passion, attention to detail, humble attitude and professionalism, you deserve all that praise and recognition from the scene, the support and best wishes. 🎉

"Quick take a screenshot of his face!" For real though, this video is awesome. Although I'm watching this purely for entertainment and support, I'm sure this is a great resource for indie developers attempting to make a stride like this next year! Keep up the great work guys!

I'm usually not that hyped for a game as I'm for your game. I'll tell you, I was not hyped before, but after playing your demo I loved every single detail and I can't wait for the full release!

I got to chat with you for a bit before and after playing the PAX demo! I'm glad it went well! Definitely picking this up on release!

Glad you all decided to set up a booth at PAX. Without it, I probably wouldn't have heard of the game or this channel! Really looking forward to seeing the future progress. Congrats on the great weekend.

Hooray!! I made it into one of your videos 7:49, I can die in peace now 😌Congratulations again to the team for creating such a beautiful chef-d'œuvre. I hope to see you all at PAX East!

It’s so awesome that you made loads of awesome connections at PAX, and I’m glad that you had a great experience. All of the new footage is looking so great, I’m beyond excited to see what secrets the spirit realm is hiding, and what fun mechanics lie in the chapters beyond 1 and 2!!

Good stuff!

man your studio has such wholesome people ❤

now I'm waiting for a massive Noah face reveal that will rock the internet harder than Dream himself

Good for you guys. Very cool

Living the dream man, I would love to go for one of these events and show off my games one day!

This is so cool to see insight into. Also shout out Utah Game Devs!

I wish the best of luck to you guys, but if I were you I would be worried about being pushed into the puzzle platformer genre. The only genre that's harder to sell on steam than a platformer are puzzle games. Steam players rarely buy puzzle platformers. I'd speculate its because platformers or puzzle games make you feel like you're bad at the game when you get stuck, and combining them amplifies the problem. Puzzle games are also not popular for streamers to pick up, so it puts you in a tough spot with marketing IMO. Its not a death sentence, but its alarming.

I won't lie, the idea of going to a indie-centered convention is incredibly fascinating to me. It's so amazing seeing how much fun everyone is having & how lovely & genuine everything there seems! Such a shame I'll probably never be able to afford going to one my whole life, but oh well

What are you thinking of doing with the kickstarter?

I'm so glad Pax went well for you. I wish I could have checked it out myself, and it would have been fun to try and speedrun it in person

10:57 jenna stoeber!! thats so cool

thrid

First

I make games and my life objective is to love pixel art (and getting a game out, but thats unimportant)

What's the game at 7:19?

Wishlisted your game. What's the game at 7:20 , please?

I think I see a little Gris and Sword&Sworcery vibes in there

Wow is the pain mechanics like fibromyalgia? Discovered your channel just now and felt represented by the pain atack

can you tell the names of the various game shown in this video? i am finding some of them look quite neat but i am unfamiliar with them.
