Added to the wishlist, glad to see it will be available on mac. Would love to know more about how it was made. Here's to hoping you are the next ConcernedApe.
Glad to see you again! Wish you a lot of success with your development/games. I totally get what you have been through; I took almost the same path, being a analyst programmer for my bread and butter, and spending that money and the remainging time on the music, my "real purpose in life". Did a full sabatical too for music... but it did nothing good... due to bad timing and stress(Covid). What a hard path. I don't know about how you did manage to remain "sane" so far ;-)
welcome back. youtube is a crazy thing. because you have done a lot of videos, and I have watched all of them, I feel like I know you and your a mate. so when you wasnt up loading I got worried about you and well being, especially with the pandemic. so I can honestly say that I am so pleased that your safe and well. the game looks brilliant and I wish you every success with it. look forward to your future videos what ever they may be. also dont over think the content, as alot of us like you and your style of video making and will probably watch whatever you want to up load so all power to you "Brudda"
just wanted to say.. I think you should be very very proud of this channel. You influenced a lot of us here and provided lots of great education and inspiration for all of your viewers. Monetization on UA-cam can be brutally tough to make sustainable and I don't think it should be tied to how "successful" once upon a synth is as a project.
If you do decide to give UA-cam another go, and are interested in hearing our thoughts on what videos we enjoy, I have to say that the One Synth Challenges are at the top of my list. They are brilliant to watch and extremely inspiring. I enjoy all of your videos, though. Maybe you can try doing some game programming videos as well to expand the channel.
This video is a year old as of this comment, but the game did finally release. It's very good. I urge anyone coming to this video to check it out for sure if you like platformers like Celeste. I am enjoying it a lot so far. Much love.
Great !!! You are one of my music references on my way back to home music studio. I would also like to create videogames with music, but I have no idea about programming. So, good look on journey, I will support with my likes and views!
Don’t sweat the negative comments bruv, glad you’re doing well. The game looks super cool. Feel free to disable comments if comments mess with you. Glad you’re finding a new way to be creative.
23:29 "I put everything into it.. but if people don't like it, I guess that's cool too" Man, I genuinely wish I had your mindset and focus in making creative projects because I tend attach my self-worth to the success or failure of anything I make, so I usually don't go all in on a project and just "half-ass" it. I would love to hear more about your work ethic and how you approach "failure" creatively. PS just wishlisted. Best of luck to ya :)
Have your mother never said to you something like "You could have told me you're going to be late"? You had a lot of us actually worried! Anyway, I'm so glad to see you are alive and kicking that I forgive you :) And it is so good to see you embark on something you are passionate about. Much respect and love! PD: Will we have the BSO of that game? Because sounds amazing!
Your videos on the Moog Grandmother have been so helpful. I started watching last fall when I copped my unit. Now I am creating smash hits! cheers to your new game!
Really good to see you pop up in my subs brother! Glad to see you're well, I'm super pumped for all the future creations that you have for us. Good luck with the game, it looks and sounds fantastic!!
You might want to consider short form content - TikTok and UA-cam shorts! I'm super excited for all of your content either way, but short form is certainly not as intensive and I think your content would be super neat in that form!
that's funny, I'm also a software developer and musician on side and just as I thought "maybe I should make a simple game and music for it" you posted this video! glad to see you're ok
Welcome back! I see so much of me in you. I am a software developer too, and a musician and artist on the side. I stuck with the 9 - 5pm job since I have family obligations and do my music/art projects on the side. Very tough to get those side projects done though, when you work a career job during the week. I also get tunnel vision too and have many interests. Now you got me thinking about creating a video game and doing all the assets too. Ugh, I don't have time though...lol. Best of luck to you. The game looks great!
It's on my wishlist now, and will purchase when it's released. You've provided so many fun videos in the past, it's the least I can do. You could make a production series here on youtube, and maybe think about starting a Patreon where you can provide stuff like synth patches, game scripts or whatever. Or maybe livestreams with donations, where you do a playthrough or something. Just a tip/plea, don't just drop of the radar next time!! :) You had a lot of people worried.
How I missed this video I will never know (probably the YT notifications!) Great to see that you are well and like the 125K subs it is a joy to hear you and what you have been up to. Totally understand where you are coming from as those of us in the same game on this YT journey are all to aware of the pitfalls. Look forward to see what you do from here on.
I just found your UA-cam channel since I am just starting to learn about synths and I have to say I love your content. Going through your videos has been very educational and helpful. I hope your future projects have success! Also I wish listed on steam!
Hey man, thanks for your honesty and transparency. I feel like that takes courage so props for that. I’m glad you’re doing well and are walking on your artist’s journey! I’m rooting for you!
I'm studying Computer Science and enjoy programming -- when I first watched your videos I was just learning about synthesizers, sound waves and electricity. It is wonderful to hear your story and see your growth! Glad you got the refresher you needed!
Trailer looks great! The music sounded like you (wish is awesome)! Wishing now that I had a windows pc haha. It was such a pleasant surprise seeing your video on my feed today. In the hainbach voice, it’s good to have you back. You (and your plants) appear to have grown a lot! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Would love to see some BTS re: the score and sound design.
You are basically living the life I never dared to live :D I also have tons of ideas and so many interests that I don't really know how to make it all work... I still have my normal job in IT and try to live out some things in my free time. Although that's not too fulfilling. And I totally understand that you wanted to focus 100% on the game - sometimes one can be so focused on something new that everything pales in comparison. I wish you all the best for the game and please continue your journey on doing what feels best to you!
I'm very relieved to see you are doing well. Very cool to see a whole game by you! You really helped me start off with synths, thanks for that. One day hopefully I can make a game too!
Excited to see you back! I loved your videos before the pandemic and noticed the dropoff. Revisited some videos just last week and noticed people asking about you in the comment sections. Glad you are well and on a new chapter! I'll be buying the game and playing it! Looking forward to what you do next!
It is truly inspiring to see you openly discussing your wrestling match with balancing a desire to do what truly moves you and paying the bills. Much success to you as you follow your path.
NIce video man, stay on the righteous path of living your life! Well done! I also discovered your videos this summer and I must say your content is amazing! Never ever, ever, ever, second guess yourself!
very very happy to see man. really missed you!!!! your channel helped me alot and i am still a big fan and still watch your videos. i am sure you will have success no matther what you do. whishing you all the health and luck in the world!
I bought my first hardware synth (grandmother) earlier this year and ran across your channel. Then I watched many other of your vids and noticed you were all but gone from all social media so I guessed you just abandoned the channel. Glad to see you’ve been hard at work on a different passion project and looking forward to the game (I love Celeste) and more videos here!
Great update! thanks for sharing, Celeste was one of my favorite games, definitely going to try out your game as it takes so many elements out of it. Good job
I am really happy to see you back, and to know you are doing well We were worried you got sick or worse, so it is really good news :) Plus you are working really hard on stuff you love, which i believe is key to reach happiness Anyways, welcome back ! I'll be sure to check your video game, just as i checked your album back then ;) Have a good day/evening !
We have a lot in common. I'm also a software developer with a passion for music. I also made a (unsuccessful) game in the past, it's one of the hardest things because you need to be good at marketing, technical and artistic side of things. I created a music app during the last 2 years, but I'm planning to go back to making games. Good luck on your journey!
Hey, I watched the trailer in steam. Looks interesting and I liked the music! I sort of identified with your predicament, though I decided to keep music as a pure hobby. So, hang in there and best of luck! One comment, I would change the color scheme used in the game, I did not find it appealing, but that just me. Good to have you back.
Man, I was getting worried. I was looking through your vid library and was like "nothing in two years?" 😬😢 Glad to have you back man! You're a inspiration to a lot of us. Love your videos.
Yessss! You’re back! I don’t subscribe to many channels but was definitely missing your content so how exciting you’re back. Watched the trailer and I’m sure you’ll understand that games aren’t really my thing so the only reason I would give it a go is because of the music. Having viewed the trailer I can say one thing which you may get others commenting on is, if you release the music as an album I would definitely buy it based on the trailer example alone! Had you thought of doing that? Cheers
Game trailer looks great -- can you tell us more about the soundtrack sometime ? Thank you for all your wonderful creative outputs, it's very much appreciated.
Woah! I didn't know you were a software dev, that's cool. And you're developing a game? You really know how to suprise. The game looks cute, hopefully it's successful and profitable for you. :) And I know already by now that the soundtrack will be great.
Hey. Glad you're back. I really hope you could make enough so that you could continue on the music side. your decision was extremely inspirational to me as an engineer/scientist who has multiple passions.
Oh my gosh, so glad to see you back! I, like many of us, were worried something had happened to you! So glad to see you still creating and being true to yourself. This is one of the most honest and human feeling channels in the synth UA-cam world and I appreciate everything you’ve brought to the table here. So excited to see what you’ve been working on and I hope you keep giving us updates! Thank you!
welcome back, would you mind talking briefly about game dev side of things, which engine you chose and why, some insights from your experience of developing the game for 2 years which is pretty amazing and inspiring.
Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1905040/The_Last_Medic/

Added to the wishlist, glad to see it will be available on mac. Would love to know more about how it was made. Here's to hoping you are the next ConcernedApe.
gl matey!
Glad to see you again! Wish you a lot of success with your development/games. I totally get what you have been through; I took almost the same path, being a analyst programmer for my bread and butter, and spending that money and the remainging time on the music, my "real purpose in life".

good onya......always enjoyed your yt videos...music and humour...hope the game takes off
Hey bro, what's this thing that posted a reply on my comment? looks dodgy as shit to me...
Hey once upon a synth, glad to see you back. You had a lot of us worried about you. Great to see you in great health. Phew
True! 😅
Glad he's back.
welcome back. youtube is a crazy thing. because you have done a lot of videos, and I have watched all of them, I feel like I know you and your a mate. so when you wasnt up loading I got worried about you and well being, especially with the pandemic. so I can honestly say that I am so pleased that your safe and well. the game looks brilliant and I wish you every success with it. look forward to your future videos what ever they may be. also dont over think the content, as alot of us like you and your style of video making and will probably watch whatever you want to up load so all power to you "Brudda"
Great to see you're doing well, and seems like you've been plenty busy! Looking forward to the game, best of luck to you.
just wanted to say.. I think you should be very very proud of this channel. You influenced a lot of us here and provided lots of great education and inspiration for all of your viewers. Monetization on UA-cam can be brutally tough to make sustainable and I don't think it should be tied to how "successful" once upon a synth is as a project.
Wow I have spent more times checking for any news from you the past two years than I cared to admit.
Good to see you back
Same.
If you do decide to give UA-cam another go, and are interested in hearing our thoughts on what videos we enjoy, I have to say that the One Synth Challenges are at the top of my list. They are brilliant to watch and extremely inspiring. I enjoy all of your videos, though. Maybe you can try doing some game programming videos as well to expand the channel.
YES!!!!!!!!!
Don’t go without a clue next time please. We are worried about you but now it’s so good to see you here again. Welcome back🎉
This video is a year old as of this comment, but the game did finally release. It's very good. I urge anyone coming to this video to check it out for sure if you like platformers like Celeste. I am enjoying it a lot so far.
Much love.
Great !!! You are one of my music references on my way back to home music studio. I would also like to create videogames with music, but I have no idea about programming. So, good look on journey, I will support with my likes and views!
I haven't even watched the video yet but I'm soooo glad he's back. It's really good to see one of my favourite youtubers back
Don’t sweat the negative comments bruv, glad you’re doing well. The game looks super cool. Feel free to disable comments if comments mess with you. Glad you’re finding a new way to be creative.
This may sound hyperbolic, but I'm just glad you are still alive and well
Wow dude, was worried about you, reached out on several channels, glad to see you're alive !
Dude!!! You're alive!
Just checked on your channel and I’m glad to know you’re still alive. I wish you all the best for your game!
You had us worried bout you once upon a synth.. good having around again.
So glad to hear from you. You’ve been a big inspiration in regards to recording my own music.
23:29 "I put everything into it.. but if people don't like it, I guess that's cool too" Man, I genuinely wish I had your mindset and focus in making creative projects because I tend attach my self-worth to the success or failure of anything I make, so I usually don't go all in on a project and just "half-ass" it. I would love to hear more about your work ethic and how you approach "failure" creatively.
PS just wishlisted. Best of luck to ya :)
Have your mother never said to you something like "You could have told me you're going to be late"? You had a lot of us actually worried! Anyway, I'm so glad to see you are alive and kicking that I forgive you :) And it is so good to see you embark on something you are passionate about. Much respect and love!
PD: Will we have the BSO of that game? Because sounds amazing!
DUDE! Holy shit I'm glad you're back, I've checked in on you a few times just to see if you'd been back, was beginning to think the worst.
Your videos on the Moog Grandmother have been so helpful. I started watching last fall when I copped my unit. Now I am creating smash hits! cheers to your new game!
No apologies needed =]
When you first described the game, it reminded me of Incoboto, which has a similar vibe, though it has a narrative to guide it.
Really good to see you pop up in my subs brother! Glad to see you're well, I'm super pumped for all the future creations that you have for us. Good luck with the game, it looks and sounds fantastic!!
You might want to consider short form content - TikTok and UA-cam shorts! I'm super excited for all of your content either way, but short form is certainly not as intensive and I think your content would be super neat in that form!
I love your music and this channel glad to see you back! Hella proud of you the game looks and sounds amazing!
21:22 That's awesome! So I watched the trailer before finishing your video, and my first thought was how the platforming felt Celeste inspired.
that's funny, I'm also a software developer and musician on side and just as I thought "maybe I should make a simple game and music for it" you posted this video! glad to see you're ok
Nice to see you back... I love your channel. I still watch your tutorials. Watching you talked now is very inspiring!. All the best for your career..
Omg so glad to see you’re still kicking! Love your channel and would check in from time to time and always wonder where you went.
So glad to see you back! You've been an inspiration for me and I learned a lot from your videos! The game looks amazing!!!
Welcome back! I see so much of me in you. I am a software developer too, and a musician and artist on the side.

Throughout my chapters in life, I can’t seem to keep indoor plants alive, haha 😆
Glad to see you & your house plants again!
Good to see you back. I still listen to your Sun album every now and again. I loved the 'making of' videos you did for that.
How I missed this video I will never know (probably the YT notifications!) Great to see that you are well and like the 125K subs it is a joy to hear you and what you have been up to. Totally understand where you are coming from as those of us in the same game on this YT journey are all to aware of the pitfalls. Look forward to see what you do from here on.

Loved this video. Thanks for being so honest and open about your process and experience.
So relieved to see you again! I’ve learned a lot about music production from your videos. Great to know you’re pursuing your passion. Take care. ☺️
You are basically living the life I never dared to live :D I also have tons of ideas and so many interests that I don't really know how to make it all work... I still have my normal job in IT and try to live out some things in my free time. Although that's not too fulfilling.

I wish you all the best for the game and please continue your journey on doing what feels best to you!
Have been very tempted to do the same... making a game I've been wanting to make for ages. Will definitely be following to see how it goes!
I'm very relieved to see you are doing well. Very cool to see a whole game by you! You really helped me start off with synths, thanks for that. One day hopefully I can make a game too!
I'VE MISSED YOU! Glad you are back. Wishlisted the game and look forward to playing it!
Welcome back! Keep making videos about the game you made. Algo will like it 😊
Excited to see you back! I loved your videos before the pandemic and noticed the dropoff. Revisited some videos just last week and noticed people asking about you in the comment sections. Glad you are well and on a new chapter! I'll be buying the game and playing it! Looking forward to what you do next!
It is truly inspiring to see you openly discussing your wrestling match with balancing a desire to do what truly moves you and paying the bills. Much success to you as you follow your path.
Just got the steam notification! Congratulations, can't wait to play!
NIce video man, stay on the righteous path of living your life! Well done! I also discovered your videos this summer and I must say your content is amazing! Never ever, ever, ever, second guess yourself!
very very happy to see man. really missed you!!!! your channel helped me alot and i am still a big fan and still watch your videos. i am sure you will have success no matther what you do. whishing you all the health and luck in the world!
As a software engineer, synthaholic and a noob to Unreal Engine myself I'd just like to say, I'm glad you're back!
So glad you're back!! Missed ya videos, you have been a big inspiration for me the past 2 years :-)
I bought my first hardware synth (grandmother) earlier this year and ran across your channel. Then I watched many other of your vids and noticed you were all but gone from all social media so I guessed you just abandoned the channel. Glad to see you’ve been hard at work on a different passion project and looking forward to the game (I love Celeste) and more videos here!
great to see you back... will definitely check out your game - looks like it'll be perfect for the Steam Deck :)
thank you for sharing.
bests from berlin.
Great update! thanks for sharing, Celeste was one of my favorite games, definitely going to try out your game as it takes so many elements out of it. Good job
I am really happy to see you back, and to know you are doing well
We were worried you got sick or worse, so it is really good news :)
Plus you are working really hard on stuff you love, which i believe is key to reach happiness
Anyways, welcome back ! I'll be sure to check your video game, just as i checked your album back then ;)
Have a good day/evening !
He’s back! We’ve missed you. Can’t wait to learn about this game you’ve made.
We have a lot in common. I'm also a software developer with a passion for music.

I created a music app during the last 2 years, but I'm planning to go back to making games. Good luck on your journey!
Glad to see you back, and good luck with the game! A lot of what you said I can really relate to, and good on you for pursuing it!
Yooooooooooo glad to hear from you again. Love your song "Lost and Alone"
Hey, I watched the trailer in steam. Looks interesting and I liked the music! I sort of identified with your predicament, though I decided to keep music as a pure hobby. So, hang in there and best of luck! One comment, I would change the color scheme used in the game, I did not find it appealing, but that just me. Good to have you back.
Coatseller! You're alive, so glad.
Very cool trailer! I wish you good luck with your game and also wish you good luck with your music, it's beautiful music and great inspiring channel
Always enjoyed your vids and good to see ya back!
Man, I was getting worried. I was looking through your vid library and was like "nothing in two years?" 😬😢 Glad to have you back man! You're a inspiration to a lot of us. Love your videos.
bro you’re one of my biggest inspirations, im so glad you’re back
Great to see you again, and for my part I'd very much welcome a closer look at how you created the music for your game, hear your thoughts behind it.
Yessss! You’re back! I don’t subscribe to many channels but was definitely missing your content so how exciting you’re back. Watched the trailer and I’m sure you’ll understand that games aren’t really my thing so the only reason I would give it a go is because of the music.

wow, one of the favourite yt channels is back
Would love to see more Art 2 Music creations.
WOAH!!!!! So stoked to see a video from you. I still watch your previous videos fairly often. So glad you are doing well.
Hey once upon a synth. Glad to see you back in good health and spirits! Your videos inspired me to purchase a modular synth. welcome back.
God I’ve been worried about you! Glad you’re okay and I’m really excited to try the game.
Really glad you’re okay & back! Looking forward to the game.
Game trailer looks great -- can you tell us more about the soundtrack sometime ? Thank you for all your wonderful creative outputs, it's very much appreciated.
OMG! You have been missed! This is crazy exciting. Can't wait to see the game!
Welcome back.. Good luck and wish you the best
So glad to see you back! Wishing you all the success with the game. 👍🏼
Woah! I didn't know you were a software dev, that's cool. And you're developing a game? You really know how to suprise. The game looks cute, hopefully it's successful and profitable for you. :) And I know already by now that the soundtrack will be great.
So glad to see you alive and back!!! Scared me, man.
Hey. Glad you're back. I really hope you could make enough so that you could continue on the music side. your decision was extremely inspirational to me as an engineer/scientist who has multiple passions.
I'm glad to see you healthy! great project you did there!
2 yrs ago your vids helped me back into music... and im a computer guy too!
Extremely happy to see you back man. I was looking everywhere to see if you're alright. Glad to have you back.
Oh my gosh, so glad to see you back! I, like many of us, were worried something had happened to you! So glad to see you still creating and being true to yourself. This is one of the most honest and human feeling channels in the synth UA-cam world and I appreciate everything you’ve brought to the table here. So excited to see what you’ve been working on and I hope you keep giving us updates! Thank you!
I honestly thought he was dead because of covid 🥲
Welcome back! Missed the channel.
Your plants have grown beautifully, you must have taken good care of them
Nice to have you back! I love your channel!
Gotta say I'm very happy you poked your head back on here after that absence. A few of us got worried due to the timing of your departure. Cheers!
holy moley, you're back! glad you're ok, you're videos are really inspiring
Aways inspirational and this is an awesome update after the hiatus. Do you!
welcome back, would you mind talking briefly about game dev side of things, which engine you chose and why, some insights from your experience of developing the game for 2 years which is pretty amazing and inspiring.
Oh my God he's alive
Same thoughts)
Welcome back! Good luck to you. Really happy to see you again ❤️
I’m so glad to see you’re alright and have been doing something amazing!!
So glad you are finally back ... or at least made an update-video. ❤❤❤
