for me, New Blood as a brand represents a very honest view on how to develop, market and sell games, and that is just having fun. i can feel the fun they had while adding a new, crazy weapon into ULTRAKILL, or when they do a bit about the steam deck on the PC gaming show, or when they released the gloomwood EA a day early... they are a very commited and talented group that understand how to create a succesful product where the consummer can see the hard effort put into it.
the thing is, they are publishers, what (i think) makes them different is they help the developers, instead of limiting what they can and can't do and controlling all of their actions
honestly Hakita is one of the luckiest pickups New Blood has under thier wing as a publisher if they are planning to branch out into other genres: the man has practically become an Avatar in the nickelodeon cartoon sense: a master of all the game design elements as every secret level he's put into Ultrakill so far has been a perfect level sized attempt at a completely different genre, from a knockoff of the Witness to fucking legally distinct CRASH BANDICOOT but with V1 replacing the spinning marsupial. between New Blood's varied talent and Hakita's knack for just letting the player doing whatever with the tools he gives them, New Blood as a whole are a publisher to watch with as hopeful eyes as the Crosscode devs and Larian.
Ultrakill is amazing. I believe this is the 5th video I've mentioned it in on my channel, with the first two being entirely dedicated to Ultrakill (full video on act 1 and one on act 2, which another planned for act 3). Its the first NB game I played, and I'm so glad I found it, or I wouldn't have quite the obsession with all their game that I now do. Hakita's secret levels are undoubtedly one of my favorite parts of the entire game.
I don't usually watch breakdown videos, but this one caught my eye. Didn't even realize it didn't have hundreds of thousands of videos until you mentioned you were smaller. Really well put together!
New Blood have quickly become one of my favourite publishers in the gaming landscape so it’s always awesome to see new videos covering how awesome they are! Great video man!
Dave Oshry is a goober. I say this as a sincere compliment. New Blood will have to murder a bag of puppies right now to dent their rep with their fan base. Love those guya
Why do you say that? I'd say that as a small company that people hold to a really high standard, they're more vulnerable to controversies than someone like Nintendo with the historical precedent, PR, HR and money to BS their way out of anything that happens.
@Echelon730 Which I'm saying might not have the effect on PR that you say; while I do appreciate their being a smaller company with a more personal connection to their fans, it also means they have less wiggle room if someone gets in trouble for something (especially cartoonish villainy). Big companies like Nintendo or Pokemon have the wealth, nostalgia factor, and clueless fanboys to blow off most issues, and the PR to minimize the amount of BS that gets publicized. I say this because I've been playing a game called Limbus Company, and the Project Moon company (only slightly bigger than New Blood AFAIK) has recently been through a couple major controversies, including one of the illustrators being fired over some old tweets (turns out gender politics in Korea is about as much of a mess as it is in the US, if not more).
@KnakuanaRka that is too long I am not going to read that. Dave and the New Blood crew are awesome and doing a great job, and I wish them all the success in the world.
New Blood pretty much became a popular publisher that gives a lot of stuff for otherwise indie devs to work with, all the while keeping the devs' integrity and creative freedom, it gives this mix of indie creative vibe and of genuinely high quality game making.
Going from the very tightly scripted body of the video to the off the cuff outro section was a kicker and I really appreciate how genuine it is. Good shit.
You said you're not a good 'writer' but for a channel with 5k subs this went above and beyond any expectations I had for this video. Clear and concise, good pacing, interesting topic - pretty damn good video. Hope you get more recognition down the line.
Awesome video! The only thing you might want to work on is the noise removal used as it comes off as excessive at times. When you are recording make sure you have your mic and yourself in the same position to ensure consistency with audio
Great video. I have been a New Blood fan for a while now after playing dusk and seeing the whole company meme so hard on twitter and the pc game show, but had never heard Dave's stance on crunch. He doesn't just seem to prefer his devs don't crunch, he almost expects them not to for their own sake.
Great publisher! I hope more like them emerge, especially in today's big publisher environment. I've been one of the core members of a growing game studio and one of my biggest fears was/is being swallowed up by a big publisher that eventually shuts us down after the bad decisions that they force us to make. It's a classic tale that's been repeated over and over since the very early days of video games.
The existence of publishers like New Blood or Nightdive are THE only reason i keep playing modern games today The are the living proof that you don't need to make photorealistic open-world generic RPG ect.. to make money It's a huge influence for me as a (try to be) game developer !
Only familiar with Nightdive’s System Shock involvement, but seeing them mentioned in the same comment as New Blood makes me want to check out more of their work. Thanks for commenting and checking out the video :)
@@CNRMRY_YTYes, i personally loved all the remasters they did and the System Shock remake is one of the best immersive sim i've ever played ! Great video btw, i learn many things about New Blood (the web adress easter eggs is just hilarious, i love it 😂) and it makes me curious about they lesser know games (at least that i didn't play yet) like Faith and Gloomwood !
This is a good video! Its nice that New Blood cares so much about quality of games and health of game devs. ULTRAKILL is my favorite game rn and im excited to try New Blood's other games.
gloom wood is my first new blood title and my god its so good to the point that i restarted the game multiple times cause of how little content there is at the moment but either way itssssssssssssss sooooooooo goood im excited what these two devs continue to pump out plus they seem active on there steam forums i made a couple posts and they instantly reply and are super nice
Their games are all really incredible, the only one that doesn’t feel full right now is Gloomwood. What there is in that game is incredible, it just feels a little short for the price tag. Devs got big ambitions though and he’s been super transparent, plus since he’s working cooperatively with D Szymanski (Dusk, Iron Lung, Chop Goblins, etc) I don’t see any reason why they wont deliver.
yeah it kinda makes sense why its slow as its just the two of them so there releasing bits chunk by chunk but the game is fantastic and i really pray they make a map editor or give mod support@@CNRMRY_YT
Man, I loved this video a lot. I noticed in a few spots your audio was muffled, but otherwise, this is great content. Perhaps during editing you could go through your audio and re-record the spots where your hand gets in the way of the mic, or you turn your head the wrong way and all that. Feel like it would give your videos the polish that such great work and tireless hours of research deserve.
Passing the word along about any who chose to stand in opposition to the rampant standard practice of profit chasing at the expense and exploitation of others is a thumbs up from me. I can only hope that if they find success that it doesn't lead to the changing of those core values as you mentioned in the video. Something that has happen to far too many others.
Ever since I played Ultrakill I’ve dived deeper into New Bloods library and I’ve loved every game I’ve played from them. The mix of great games and awesome people behind it is a sight to behold and I appreciate them so much.
This was really interesting to watch as I am currently writing a Bachelors thesis on retro-style 3D games. Since I love Dusk and Amid Evil, I chose to focus especially on games published by New Blood!
@@CNRMRY_YTokay so basically you play as this guy in a scuba diving suit who was taking a power nap, you start killing demons, you kill demons a lot, other things happen sometimes like this robotic dude going "you breaking my stuff isn't in the top 10 things i wanted as a christmas gift tbh", but killing demons is the big thing that matters the game is just complete garbage, pretty much unplayable, it doesn't even have a single big john voice line
Thx for this vid. I am not into shooters and i do have a huge library already.still i consider getting falling aces because it looks so darn cool.knowing the publisher is cool too definitly helps.
I think New Blood is amazing bc of what they're trying to do in the industry! Also the video was very good, nicely edited and written! dont be so hard on yourself :D
I discovered Ultrakill when it was just a public demo. Now when I know more about dev and publishers, I have a feeling on this winter sale on steam I'm gonna get all New Blood games. Mad respect to both New Blood and devs who work with them.
I was pretty early to Ultrakill as well, not quite that early though. I started playing just before greed released, I just only play when there’s new stuff rather than consistently which is why I’m so bad at it. As for the other NB games, they’re all honestly incredible. It’s pretty hard to pick a favorite for me, gloomwood has the least content (so far), but I think in the future it’s going to have a LOT, and what’s there now is really good.
Never, ever, ever, ever say "I can't interview someone because I'm not big enough". I once got an interview with Billy Corben, who has had multiple documentaries aired on ESPN and HBO for a school project. The worst you'll ever hear back is "Sorry, I can't do that." and you leave it at that. You've earned my sub and a like for some great editing and writing! I hope to see more videos from you in the future!
First off, sorry about the essay. When you mentioned how Mr. Oshry is against crunch, it instantly brought to mind how Hakita had to do crunch time in order to reach the promised Ultrakill Act 2 release date, as on a Twitter post (or whatever it is meant to be referred to as now) he said that he "spent the entirety of the last 24 hours either vomiting or sleeping" after he had published the update. Now, I am unsure as to whether or not it was New Blood who forced crunch time on to him or simply Hakita's dedication to the game, but I just hope that Hakita'll not have to go through that hell again and am alarmed as to how you didn't include this tidbit into the video. It's cool if you weren't aware of this, as this might be some sort of obscure inner Ultrakill community thing. Wonderful video nonetheless, I'll add a plus one to your subscriber count.
Much appreciated with the sub. I’ve been following Ultrakill especially for quite some time and I do remember that, but like I said in the video I think it’s more in the vein of developers not wanting to let down their fans and people who play their games. Again, there’s no way to verify if this was encouraged or forced by new blood, or entirely hakita’s decision, but I’d rather choose to believe that new blood isn’t responsible, and they do truly stand by what they say. Either way, it’s a shame what devs go through, forced or not.
I do remember him tweeting something about that. However, I think Hakita followed up with something along the lines of "This isn't me complaining, this is me pointing to the stands.". If that is the case, that would be incredibly based. If I am wrong, please feel free to let me know.
Honestly a brilliant video man. Just wanted to say I clicked on this looking for a high quality video essay and I got that. I would have thought you were a much bigger channel if you hadn't have mentioned your sub count lol. Hope things go well for you and you keep making bangers like this one !
This video was so engaging and informative! Regarding the last section where you talk about how you feel about the video, as a viewer I felt like the structuring worked out fine. Never heard of new blood before this but I did know ultrakill lol
great video! I will say from 11:51 - 13:11 it could have been reduced to a few sentences as it feels jarring going from a pretty well-made chuck of the main video to instantly swapping to a rambling section. otherwise it is a great video and I can say it was cool hearing about new blood's past
as a console player who’s yet to transfer to pc, im glad that some indie games are slowly being released on consoles. i’ll say though, it’s hell to find them. a lot of the titles i’ve stumbled across (severed steel, ion fury, strafe, a few boomer shooters, ziggurat 1/2 gas station simulator, arcade paradise the list goes on) were found by chance. and it’s never gonna happen but i gotta have a slice of hope that stuff like ultrakill or turbo overkill would get a playstation port at some point in time
I was console all my life til I bought a pc with all the money I made from my first job in 2020, best decision I’ve ever made, but also very expensive, so I can understand why a lot of people don’t switch over. Consoles are getting more competitive on performance, but the game market is usually a lot smaller. I thought I heard something about ultrakill and a couple other NB games coming to pc eventually, but no certain fate. I’m not positive if that’s real, but I feel like I remember it from somewhere. Keep hoping!
I really liked your video mate! Really in depth essay style, love everything even the last goofy part was perfect. What I did not like particularly was that sometimes your voice is quieter then normal, so if want to improve the audio quality or something you probably should, either way, very well written and well edited video. Wish you the best!
Much appreciated! I've considered it, but a lot of publishers are so big at this point that they've lost some of their identity. Maybe some more in the future though, sounds like fun. Thanks for the comment :)
Yo I just came here after watching the entirety of the faith review by wendigoon and the fact that the company treats employees well as a brand and supports unions is so awesome!! I am gonna buy some merch at least since I don't really play as much as I watch gaming YT. Subscribing here too, thanks for the info
New blood and devolver digital are two publishers that prove that a brand still has real power if it is used right and not molested the same way the AAA versions have done.
Great video! loved it! I would've loved a small "secret spoiler warning" as I would've wanted to find some of that myself haha, otherwise, good video! :)))))))
yeah o love those levels, the only negative thing is that the soundtrack is just a 7/10 for me unlike the rest of the game music that is like a 8/10 or a 9/10 also cool video really liked it :) @@CNRMRY_YT
On Faith: "although the full game is not all that long", it was chosen as one of the best horror games. Oh, yes! Good old "long is good, short is not" idea that is still prevalent in the industry. Aside from that, great video. I always thought New Blood was a one-note company and I thought both Daves were the same person with two different twitter accounts, but Instand corrected on both accounts.
@@CNRMRY_YT The overarching gameplay is that you’re a cowboy who’s fallen into a broken afterlife. The introduction town is mostly mundane, but trying to cross the river to head further West will cause you to drown, and fall into another version of the town, without anyone there, done up in Day of the dead ornaments. The building that was empty and abandoned now has welcoming lights, so you enter it and are informed that you’re kind of dead at the moment. They offer to forget about it in return for a little job. They want you to cross the river and deliver a package to a guy in the next town. This basically sets you up to go deeper into the map, and introduces the explicitly supernatural parts of the world. The intended fantasy is a Bounty Hunting Shaman who’s not afraid to do some very wacky things in order to figure out what went wrong to create this Dead West.
That sounds really cool actually, sounds like you’ve got it figured out. David Szymanski (dusk, iron lung, co on gloomwood) has talked about this on twitter before, but he’s said that if he can’t make a really solid pitch for a game in just one or two sentences, then it’s not ready yet. While I don’t 100% agree with this idea, I do think it matters to be concise in a pitch, cause if you don’t grab the person you’re trying to pitch to right away, there’s unfortunately a decent chance they won’t even want to pay attention to the rest. Just something to think about. Regardless, send this my way when you get published ;)
Good video, wanted to find a game like fallout and heard New Blood was making a fallout inspired crpg. Hope you can get some more info about that game. Cheers.

Hold on a second
for me, New Blood as a brand represents a very honest view on how to develop, market and sell games, and that is just having fun. i can feel the fun they had while adding a new, crazy weapon into ULTRAKILL, or when they do a bit about the steam deck on the PC gaming show, or when they released the gloomwood EA a day early... they are a very commited and talented group that understand how to create a succesful product where the consummer can see the hard effort put into it.
Great takes all around. I love em, cant wait to see where they go.
the thing is, they are publishers, what (i think) makes them different is they help the developers, instead of limiting what they can and can't do and controlling all of their actions
honestly Hakita is one of the luckiest pickups New Blood has under thier wing as a publisher if they are planning to branch out into other genres: the man has practically become an Avatar in the nickelodeon cartoon sense: a master of all the game design elements as every secret level he's put into Ultrakill so far has been a perfect level sized attempt at a completely different genre, from a knockoff of the Witness to fucking legally distinct CRASH BANDICOOT but with V1 replacing the spinning marsupial.
between New Blood's varied talent and Hakita's knack for just letting the player doing whatever with the tools he gives them, New Blood as a whole are a publisher to watch with as hopeful eyes as the Crosscode devs and Larian.

doesn't really mean he's great at them though...4-S is my least favorite level in the entire game

I’ve been following Ultrakill especially for quite some time and I do remember that, but like I said in the video I think it’s more in the vein of developers not wanting to let down their fans and people who play their games. Again, there’s no way to verify if this was encouraged or forced by new blood, or entirely hakita’s decision, but I’d rather choose to believe that new blood isn’t responsible, and they do truly stand by what they say. Either way, it’s a shame what devs go through, forced or not.
I do remember him tweeting something about that. However, I think Hakita followed up with something along the lines of "This isn't me complaining, this is me pointing to the stands.". If that is the case, that would be incredibly based. If I am wrong, please feel free to let me know.
I think it was him realizing that He forgot to add a boss music for the Gabriel Boss Fight so He crafted that masterpiece together in a Few hours.
WOW!! You Opened my eyes!! Great Video!! Would Love to hear more about the industry!!!
Great video. Keep it up man.
Honestly a brilliant video man. Just wanted to say I clicked on this looking for a high quality video essay and I got that. I would have thought you were a much bigger channel if you hadn't have mentioned your sub count lol.
Hope things go well for you and you keep making bangers like this one !
Thank you, I really appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed!
This video was so engaging and informative! Regarding the last section where you talk about how you feel about the video, as a viewer I felt like the structuring worked out fine. Never heard of new blood before this but I did know ultrakill lol
love this video
Someone’s gotta
great video! I will say from 11:51 - 13:11 it could have been reduced to a few sentences as it feels jarring going from a pretty well-made chuck of the main video to instantly swapping to a rambling section. otherwise it is a great video and I can say it was cool hearing about new blood's past
Great work making shit up about a24 in the beginning. Gonna keep watching .
Hi my favorite small(ish) creator
Maybe someday I’ll be your favorite small-medium sized creator
@@CNRMRY_YT oh i guarantee it :)
Great video man! Keep up the good work!!!!
Appreciate it!
my fav video game creator
This was a great video, keep it up!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching.
around the 5:00 mark your mic sounds a bit muffled but other than that great video
Thanks for the feedback, thanks for checking out the video too
Nice video!
Much appreciated !
as a console player who’s yet to transfer to pc, im glad that some indie games are slowly being released on consoles. i’ll say though, it’s hell to find them. a lot of the titles i’ve stumbled across (severed steel, ion fury, strafe, a few boomer shooters, ziggurat 1/2 gas station simulator, arcade paradise the list goes on) were found by chance. and it’s never gonna happen but i gotta have a slice of hope that stuff like ultrakill or turbo overkill would get a playstation port at some point in time
I was console all my life til I bought a pc with all the money I made from my first job in 2020, best decision I’ve ever made, but also very expensive, so I can understand why a lot of people don’t switch over. Consoles are getting more competitive on performance, but the game market is usually a lot smaller. I thought I heard something about ultrakill and a couple other NB games coming to pc eventually, but no certain fate. I’m not positive if that’s real, but I feel like I remember it from somewhere. Keep hoping!
I really liked your video mate! Really in depth essay style, love everything even the last goofy part was perfect. What I did not like particularly was that sometimes your voice is quieter then normal, so if want to improve the audio quality or something you probably should, either way, very well written and well edited video. Wish you the best!
Still working on the audio engineering piece of this whole youtube thing, slowly improving. Thanks for the feedback and the kind words.
Hey man make more video essays on publishers, you do it well 👀
Much appreciated! I've considered it, but a lot of publishers are so big at this point that they've lost some of their identity. Maybe some more in the future though, sounds like fun. Thanks for the comment :)
I actually bought Dusk after pirating it. New Blood is absolutely amazing and can't wait to see what else they'll come out with.
Love it!
I really appreciate it
Doom music in a video about New Blood.
This guy understood the assignment.
its too fire, what else would I use
out 3 weeks and only 2k views? unbelievable lol you need more
Maybe someday I will
the opening line almost made me spit up my food
What can I say
Good video, you deserve more subs
I've watched so many videos on commercial games being bad nowadays that this is honestly refreshing and nice to see
I’m glad you enjoyed
It back
And so, we back.
Yo I just came here after watching the entirety of the faith review by wendigoon and the fact that the company treats employees well as a brand and supports unions is so awesome!! I am gonna buy some merch at least since I don't really play as much as I watch gaming YT. Subscribing here too, thanks for the info
Thanks for checking this out, that was an awesome video, I love wendin
Damn you killed me in the first minute with that Ubisoft bit damn.
New blood and devolver digital are two publishers that prove that a brand still has real power if it is used right and not molested the same way the AAA versions have done.
Ultra pog
Thanks timeguy
Great video! loved it!
I would've loved a small "secret spoiler warning" as I would've wanted to find some of that myself haha, otherwise, good video! :)))))))
Sorry :(
@@CNRMRY_YT nouuuuu it's fine!!
I like to think new blood interactive are the blumhouse studio, but for video games, the pre-2020 blumhouse.
They’re simply goated
good video :-)
Thanks, I appreciate it
now i want to play dune more than ever. Thanks
Gary loves you.
And I love him, so it all works out in the end
Bruh I learned about new blood by browsing through steam and they have became one of my favorite studio
5:08 you can just pile the filth up then shotgun parry them, that usually gets your style meter up to ULTRAKILL.
Cool video bro
New Blood and Supergiant give me hope for humanity.
supergiant mentioned
im just gonna say that discovering hakito literally minutes after act 2 came out was the funniest shit ever
Act two wrath is one of the best video game level sets ever
yeah o love those levels, the only negative thing is that the soundtrack is just a 7/10 for me unlike the rest of the game music that is like a 8/10 or a 9/10 also cool video really liked it :) @@CNRMRY_YT
Good video
On Faith: "although the full game is not all that long", it was chosen as one of the best horror games.
Oh, yes! Good old "long is good, short is not" idea that is still prevalent in the industry.
Aside from that, great video. I always thought New Blood was a one-note company and I thought both Daves were the same person with two different twitter accounts, but Instand corrected on both accounts.
This makes me wanna pitch my FPS Afterlife-Western RPG to New Blood.
That sounds awesome
@@CNRMRY_YT The overarching gameplay is that you’re a cowboy who’s fallen into a broken afterlife. The introduction town is mostly mundane, but trying to cross the river to head further West will cause you to drown, and fall into another version of the town, without anyone there, done up in Day of the dead ornaments.
The building that was empty and abandoned now has welcoming lights, so you enter it and are informed that you’re kind of dead at the moment. They offer to forget about it in return for a little job. They want you to cross the river and deliver a package to a guy in the next town. This basically sets you up to go deeper into the map, and introduces the explicitly supernatural parts of the world.
The intended fantasy is a Bounty Hunting Shaman who’s not afraid to do some very wacky things in order to figure out what went wrong to create this Dead West.
That sounds really cool actually, sounds like you’ve got it figured out. David Szymanski (dusk, iron lung, co on gloomwood) has talked about this on twitter before, but he’s said that if he can’t make a really solid pitch for a game in just one or two sentences, then it’s not ready yet. While I don’t 100% agree with this idea, I do think it matters to be concise in a pitch, cause if you don’t grab the person you’re trying to pitch to right away, there’s unfortunately a decent chance they won’t even want to pay attention to the rest. Just something to think about. Regardless, send this my way when you get published ;)
Good video, wanted to find a game like fallout and heard New Blood was making a fallout inspired crpg. Hope you can get some more info about that game.
Cheers.
> unique
> good
> muh plebbit tier A24 movies
gulps down a gallon of soylent, checks out
Underrated
honestly if i ever were to make my game i'd love to have it be published by them
real
Wondering where is Dave's comme... Oh there it is.
I couldn’t believe it lmao
@@CNRMRY_YTYea, the man is special.
