    Hi, Potato! I found this channel by accident months ago, but it has become one of my favourites! I'm a very old gamer(66) and I like the same games as you, city builders, tycoons, colony management etc. I visit your channel almost every day. I wish you a lot of good work!👍

    Hi! Thanks for mentioning my game, World Turtles, again. Note that three BIG factors (UI/UX, terrain triangulation and terrain textures) have been completely reworked since you last looked at the game, so it looks and plays a lot better now, and I'm still happily working on it. Feeding and steering around in space also plays a bigger role already :)

    Hi! Thanks a for mentioning Scorchlands! It does help a ton in showing the game to new people. Also, to answer your question of why on earth you play as birds - They add to the game in their character and humour. There are several other reasons like symbolism or their connection to nature and environment (that you yourself create in the game), but I think the main reason is "why not?" :D

    I'm currently in the beginning stages of developing a post apocalyptic browser game where you manage a settlement. it won't rely on crazy graphics and will be played on a website like torn city. Im going to work on it by myself in my spare time. I've got lots of ideas for it and hope I'll have the foundation for it complete soon.

    Scalebound was once a highly anticipated Xbox-exclusive release that revolved around adventuring alongside customized AI-driven dragons. Unfortunately, due to what's been described as issues with Scalebound's photorealistic look and online features, it was canceled in January 2017.

    Maybe consider dividing your videos into finished games and early access. Early access has become a crutch they should just say most of these are done and release updates like AAA titles do.
    Maybe give a rating of how done it seems.
