  • I just realized I never said the name of the game in the video - It's called Isle Goblin! :)
    14 months down, ??? to go! I've had a ton of fun working on the game and I"m excited to get it to you guys, hopefully it won't be too much longer!

    I love how you implemented the animation for the exploding mushroom. It cried before it explodes, to make you feel bad - but then you get a “mysterious reward” for killing the mushroom mother and all of its spawn. That’s a hilarious contrast within itself.
    The game is gorgeous - I cannot wait to play.

    Killing a mushroom before it explodes should drop their tears which you could craft into a potion that grants instant depression to an enemy... Love the game so far and the videos. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into these and it really comes through. Hope you have the strength you need for each week and looking forward to more content :)

    I noticed that you added vanity slots, which is the greatest feature of all time. I can not express the amount of dopamine that entered my brain when I saw you were adding hats. thank you so much. do you think there is any chance that you can add a potato themed hat? maybe as a low chance when farming or from an achievement? potato hats automatically make games 10,000% better.

    This is very similar to how the game littlewood solved this problem :D
    It felt great to play like that in littlewood, more personal.
    I wish more games would do the same. But think it would get tedious once you have a lot of characters all asking at once.
    Balance is hard, cant wait to see how you go about it :D

    I remember when the game did not look polished and was in early development, but now as I look at it, it looks amazingly smooth and polished. The fact that it's multiplayer just adds the icing on the cake. I will get this game because of that. I love to see how amazing it looks and all the content that's in it. AKA YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. Expeashuly the fact that you're doing this on side of a full-time job just makes it more amazing!

    I absolutely ADORE these new UI designs. The inventory vermin idea as amazing and the idea that they turn ito pets after you get them rid of your inventory is genius. Also the other UI like the toolbar being a pelt and other menus bein filled with trinkest and shoddy made leather feels wonderfully goblin.
    I also got and idea to add to the inventory vermin, it would be kinda cool if they vere slightly animated and maybe the inventory could have a trashcan feature to get rid of unwanted items. And maybe that trashcan could be you dragging the items into the mouth of the possum or racoon and them just eating it. But I dont know how it will work after you get rid of them maybe after vermin leave your inventory there would remain a tiny possum puppy that could be used as a trashcan. But i feel like that puppy cant even take up 1 inventory space otherwise the players could want to get rid of them too

    I always liked rare events and surprises that could happen. I havent stayed caught up enough to know if there are weather events, but rain storms that help crops grow faster or lightning strikes that leave scorch marks on the groun sound like they would be really cool! Maybe even a rare creature during the events or maybe something perhaps like a wyvern mayhaps, who knows...

    I have struggled to find a path in life since i first went to highschool, at first i stuck to engineering even entering an engineering uni, then i found out that doing something im just "ok" with but not actually passionate about doesnt feel right and even thought it might be the "dummer" choice, I switched it up for film and philology. Started to get more and more into the things i actually always cared about... TTRPGs, writing, world building, character building, emergent storytelling, etc. etc.
    Now i am at a point in my life where i struggle to keep my hopes up for the future, afraid nothing will work out. I have a solid project in mind (writing/ttrpg/game related) but i just cant get any real work on it done... Cant manage to dig myself out of the hole of doubts. Lost in the "where should i start? How should i start? Whats the best way to start?"
    Seeing you, truly inspires me. Following your dreams, dealing with income, making content and being super smart about all of it. For as little as i actually know you Matt, i aspire to be a Matt just like you. Keep up the great work and if you ever doubt yourself, know that you are my rolemodel. ✨

Now that I’ve been a professional for over a decade I finally took some classes and tried to learn to create games in Unity for fun. Man, it is hard to keep up with a hobby like that! I failed miserably. I love seeing projects like this. It really motivates me to try again… I won’t though… I’m too old and too busy with family stuff these days I guess.

    Goblin slayer. Just a dude who knows way too much about the player and has almost everything ready. Maybe a dark turn of events where the npcs get killed. Kinda like terraria’s wall of flesh, but it’s not a sacrifice and the dude just comes and kills all the npcs and starts a fight with you.
