this looks amazing. crimson hollow has been in my wishlist for months now and i am grateful for these type of updates. soooooo excited and looking forward to this, and i am willing to wait however long as long as you release how you dreamed it to be!
You had me at "hidden from the rest of the world". From one aspiring indie dev to another; cant wait to play it.
I remember when I first saw your devlog a year ago it inspired me so much that 3 days later I started working on my own cozy farming game.
Super excited for Crimson Hollow and I wish you all the best for the release Courtney.! 💌
Sounds a bit boring
It’s so satisfying seeing you drop the assets into the game one by one
Right?? Reminds me of unpacking
And knowing they're hand-drawn.
I started crying when you said the part about the journey and nothing worth having comes easy. Saying "I hope you don't give up, every step counts" really got me. I'm working on starting a small craft/art business and I get down sometimes comparing myself or getting discouraged. It's nice to hear this sometimes. This game looks amazing, and your journey towards your goals is inspiring. I can't wait to check this out and immerse myself in your world :)
Like fr started crying or is it like an exaggeration? Similar to Americans saying they "love" everything?
@@killexpert5095 Yes FR started crying. I'm a sensitive person and do cry a lot haha Esp about things that I'm passionate about or care about.
yes!! and in any sort of project there is going to be time 'wasted' on a feature/concept or tangible thing that gets scrapped. but exploring that idea was necessary even if it didn't work out. it's really hard to remember that when you have hours or days towards something for nothing though, and most people don't post about those (understandably). every step counts, even the ones that don't go anywhere!
Please let us personalize our house in the game, I love so much the variety of furniture, walls, objects etc especially in your drawings!
Every devlog I see from you makes me think even more that this game has potential to become a beloved indie darling.
You should definitely be proud it looks incredible what you have done so far and all of your hard work.
SO LOOKIG FORWARD TO THIS!!!!!
I cannot believe its been a year !! I'm really glad you pushed through in making this game^^ I've been keeping up with the updates and the progress has been crazyy amazing. Keep it up and happy wishes with the game!
I have a few suggestions for the character creator:
An icon next to the RGB sliders that shows the current color (so we can more easily preview it) as well as maybe the little hair/clothing colors also being affected by these changes?, and a hex code that we can copy and paste so we can use the same color on different parts of the character. OR a color wheel + brightness and saturation sliders instead of the RGB sliders for colors, i feel like this would make it easier to pick the color you want.
Either way good luck with this project! it's looking really good and i always look forward to seeing your videos! i'm probably gonna be a day one purchaser when it comes out lmao.
Fellow game dev here, I love watching these videos. They give me the warm fuzzies seeing someone working on their dreams. Thank you for making these! :)
right?! im not a game dev, but im thinking of becoming one. i'm not sure what programme she used, but since you're a game dev, would you happen to recognize it or is it a combination of applications?
@@e-zain She's using Unity (3:00), thats a very popular game engine. For the drawing i dont know much about it
@@DavidoniTheGamer thanks!! would you recommend I use it too as a beginner or should i use one of those engines that dont require coding at all?
@@e-zain if you really want to dive into game dev, yes its recommended to learn it. Unity and Godot is the most popular engines right now, in Unity the language is C# and in Godot is GDScript, very similar to Python
@@e-zain lol bro
Currently sitting proudly on my Steam wishlist. This looks like a beautifully chill game with wonderful concepts, worldbuilding, game mechanics and of course amazing design!

I look forward to seeing another year of creating :) I just wanted to say that your little aside at the end was really nice... game dev is so hard and it's always nice to hear someone else acknowledge it! Good luck.

Your sense of atmosphere and your beautiful colors truly make this game hard to look away from. I want to know so much more about the story!

Ahhhh I can't believe its been a year!! Ive been following you since your first video and i am so excited for the game
As a fellow indie developer I love following these videos. Seeing your wonderful art and ideas is a great motivator for getting my own game going.
Wow, I have no words honestly, I'm Amazed and the art is hella beautiful, All the best for your upcoming challenges
I instantly went and added it to my wishlist. Good luck with this! I hope this game will be released!
I wish you the steady development. I'm glad YT recommended me this video, it's always interesting to see how games are created! Also really really liked the artstyle! ^____^
Thanks so much for your comment and insight around other peoples journeys. "Nothing worth having comes easy" is an amazing quote and it brought me to tears. This has been very impactful thank you! I have wishlisted the game on steam - look forward to more updates.
PS. You have an amazing voice :) keep up the hard work!
Always a lovely experience watching these videos
This looks beautiful, but I would have a small suggestion regarding the characters' eyes, they look too dark (just black) on the in-game/movable characters, compared to how pretty they look in the drawn characters. That also makes them look more puppet-like than the "manga" drawn characters. I feel like making the eyes somewhat clearer would make the characters pop up even more.
You are doing amazing work Courtney! The art style is fantastic and the 3D models don't distract at all, they work really well with the hand drawn world. It sounds like you have a good handle on the challenges and are making good choices for how to handle the scope of the project. All the best and I hope to play some day!
Subbed!! Can’t wait for this!! You’re doing so great, even more so that you’re doing these with other stuff mixed in multi tasking. The graphics and animation is 👩🏻🍳👌🏼
It’s so inspirational to see your dedication and passion for this game! I can’t wait for more and hope to play when it’s ready 🤩
This amount of progress you've made in a year is honestly so crazy, props to you!
I am glad that I watched this! The thumbnail got me. I added this to my wishlist on steam! It's definitely right up my alley. Can't wait to see more!
