Failing To Release My Dream Open World RPG… (Dream Game Devlog)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- I said my dream game would release August 15th...unfortunately the game still needs work.
With that being said I would like to address that we are diligently working on creating the best version of Monster Tribe we possibly can and I will keep you all in the loop as we develop the project to the real result we want to distribute to our fans!

Thank you so much for all of your support. Means the world that so many of you are so eager to play my project, but you will have to wait just a little bit longer to get a completely polished experience
You've spent years working on this, I think it's perfectly understandable that you want the release to go as good as possible, though I personally can't wait to get my hands on the game either.
People from Poland when They see the Word "Polished": lez invade 🗿
It's all good Reece! Take all the time you need to make Monster Tribe the best game it can be! I'm good with waiting for a fun and polished game rather than playing a game with a few bugs.
Thank you Tobin!! 🥲🥲
Yeah. I agree
Best thing a dev can do is to send out a complete product that satisfies them and the consumers, so understandable for the delay.
Thanks rawkth, definitely agree :)
Thank you for making this awesome game,i cannot wait for it's launch!
I’ve seen from many other developers or other creatives in general that if there is a large project in the works, the milestones and deadlines are almost always at least double what you except. Double the time to fix bugs, double the effort for good quality, double the team to get it gone on time, etc. I’m glad you’re taking the time to focus on a good release. Transparency and honesty only further add to your positive reputation. I hope it goes well!
Thank you! Appreciate your wise words
Well hey, look on the bright side, you made a decision million dollar companies are usually afraid to do. Delaying a game is better than releasing a buggy mess which I feel like bigger teams and companies need to learn.
Thank you, it was a tough call but I know in my heart it was the right decision
I have only just found your channel, and all I can really say is that I wish I had found it sooner! I am an aspiring game developer and the relatability of this channel makes it such a comfortable experience to watch, and trust me I can understand the hardships of dealing with anxiety and the constant roadblocks it brings. Like you said, no journey is ever perfect so I say take all the time you need! You have already come so much further than most on this journey, and I have no doubt that you will finish with flying colors in the end.
Good luck and I hope life treats you well throughout this game’s launch and lifespan, as well as any future projects you may have. I am going to for sure be following this channel closely as I want nothing more than to see you and your passion project succeed!
Reece, take all the time you need. That’s is the answer I will give you, and the answer all your fans should be giving. Nothing less. We have faith in your campaign. Damn us if we don’t show it.
Really appreciate you! Love this supportive community :)
Excited to dive deeper into this beauty. Take your time. Amazing effort so far and so much fun to look forward to
Fully support and understand your position. Go on and make the best game you can!
Hey my face made it in the video!
I hope I speak for most people when I say that I appreciate your candor and being up front with what's going on in your game's development.
Keep up the good work and don't stress too much about how people will receive bumps in the game's roadmap.
Making a game is super difficult, and the last 5% of a project is not an easy hurdle to get through.
Excited for the game's launch - whenever the time is right!
Thomas you are the best man, always got my back. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I’m excited to try the game whenever you’re ready to release it! Really enjoyed the dev logs and I’m glad you’ve got such a positive outlook on a delay, good luck!
Thank you Austin! I’ll make sure to continue the series and keep you guys engaged in the process!!
Thanks for having the courage to make this video and be vulerable mate
I am glad you all have given yourselves the time you need to develop this project, I hope everything goes well for you and your team
Thank you DMK :)
Great video, it's always useful to give an insight into how tough launches can be (not that I'd really know) but I think it helps to give a reality check for everyone really, that it definitely won't go the way you think it will.
Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks Saul! Yeah, I do my best to give my raw journey and all the ups and downs that come with this crazy job haha
@@ReeceGeofroy Of which there are so many x)
Hey its fine take all the time you need to finish your game.
Will do! Shouldn’t be too long of a wait though :)
Looking forward to the release of the game, Reece!
We all have your back. Keep up the good work!❤🔥
Thanks Mike!! 😁😁
As a game developer, I totally understand what you been going through. I hope that everything went well for you!
Looking forward to the release! Whenever its fully ready🙃
Thanks Micy! Hope you guys still want to support the journey 😫
Keep the focus your almost there!
Will do!!
I think that’s the right call, you only get one shot to launch. Great dev log content!
Thanks Jake, I agree. Your launch is incredibly important and I don’t want to release something my community will be frustrated with !
Take as much time as you need. The game looks amazing, and the delays are in good faith. Keep up the good work!
Thank you ZTime!!!
Facing failure is one of the most essential component of success, I know you will overcome your challenges and come back even stronger!🦈
See the game on Steam when everything is ready, no problem, dude. Love the journey & hard work !
Hope you will be happy with the game when its done
I hope so too :)
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing well.
The team is well, just devastated to disappoint you all :(
Feels bad to have such a road block at the release, but on the positive note, its a good thing the game publishing studio found all those errors and bugs, so that you will have the perfect release as you said, hope the game can be out soon (I'm not pressuring you to finish fast, I just meant, it is an amazing game, that everyone wants to play!)
Thank you Lejo! This is actually the most supportive community ever 🥲❤️
Really excited for the game, can't wait for the release
Glad you are excited :)
dw reece, no matter what, we will always be by your side. always. ALWAYS. WE ARE ALWAYS WATCHING REECE
.
Yaaaaay!! Thanks chooby!
Wow that seems like quite the supportive publisher. A lot of indie games are published in quite buggy states and often never fully fixed. (Probably due to developer burn out/moving onto other projects), though I guess a lot of those might be self-published, such as the games of Sean Young, who made Magicite, Roguelands and the two Kindergarden games, and had to make an apology on the Steam News section for his games, explaining that he has a bad habit of burning out and abandoning projects forever without a word.
Thanks for cataloguing your journey for all the young artistic souls, with something to say/present, who may become empowered and inspired by your journey. Art is difficult, because art is an expression of life. Keep on keeping on.
Great words of wisdom here! Good luck out there as well
What a time to discover this channel.
(finally here after i watched all 28 devlogs in 2 days)
Let’s go Slam! Welcome 💯
It's better to be late than never. Take you time Reece. This game is going to be amazing once it releases.🥰
Ahhh thank you! Very true :D
oh yeah, testing takes sooo much time, a lot of time. I'm glad you decided for delay instead of releasing it buggy. First impressions you get only once. Take your time and we'll be looking forward to your game ^^
Thanks Xuan!!!
Better late than unpolished, Excited for final release. Keep up the awesome work
Thanks for being honest.. and mistakes are the best teachers. .. keep up the good work
This is the guy if ea didn’t exist
Take your time
For any game dev: never give up on ur dream game
I know I’m a little late on this, and I’m preaching to the choir at this point, but this was 100% the right call. AAA studios are just out to make a quick buck and don’t care much for the reputation of it. i.e., Call of Duty Vanguard and Battlefield 2042. In comparison, Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed for an entire year, and look at the difference in reception. Hopefully the push back is big enough to make AAAs reconsider how they go about releasing games. I just beat a game called Monster Sanctuary that’s similar to your game, and I can’t wait to play yours. Best of luck!
Bad luck man are you going to stream again soon? Loved your last stream
As an ex front end developer, I totally understand. Perhaps the game may turn out WAY better than expected for all of us. I look forward to your game as I happily wait!
Yay, I’m so glad Rene! Glad you are still excited :)
imagine how much more polished the game would have been without all the time dedicated to these videos.
editing can be a slow process.
Hearing "the games needs work" feels bad, thats for sure
Definitely not a "failure". You guys have the skills, the talent, and a great publisher. I'm pretty sure 2023 is gonna be awesome for you guys! ;)
Thaaaank you I hope all goes well !
Hey, all good :) i was really excited for the release ;-; BUT i still am. Take your time! (other question: what microphone do you use?) - Manuel
Aw your fine that's why delaqys are a thing and the term going Gold exsites... Which you have not gone gold yet and you were right to internal play test it first before going Gold the act of getting the game set to press into disks or in this case luanch on steam.
I'm ok with a delay of a finished game cause we know it's finished and know it could release anyday. I mean I've been waiting for a karlson devlog for about 2years now .
A delayed game is better than a buggy game
Its ok to delay something to make it like how you want it too
wouldn't hate to see the game do well because of a buggy launch. take your time, we can wait. i mean, i waited years for Cyberpunk, i can wait a little while for this game.
Cool game i hope you have a good day♥️
Thanks apple! You too :)
@@ReeceGeofroy thx your cool guy👍
Glad you caught the bugs before release
Nothing worse than releasing thinking it’s basically bug free to find out that for some people the game may as well be unplayable
Definitely the best decision to delay release 👍
dev life aint easy. Hang in there.
Thanks Pete, appreciate your support along the journey
its cool and makes more sense to publish a fixed game than fix a game after publishing
TRAIN LEGS BRRRUUUHHH!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude don't worry about delays. The biggest games with hundreds of people in their teams delay a game multiple times. No one will get hurt because you want to delay your dream game so it comes out as polished as it can be
For sure, I’m trying to not stress about the delay I just don’t want to let you guys down!
It’s all fine. I know a certain game that DEFINITELY was going to be good if it was delayed and had more work put more work into it… cough balan wonderworld.
Hahaa yes, personally I think polish overtakes deadlines!
In 5 years no one will care that game was delay a few months, but people will remember that the game released with a sht ton of bugs
Definitely, well said!
Please make sure you delay as much as you have to, recently game companies have released games at such poor states and it kinda sucks. Take your time, we will support no matter what! ❤
Thank you lightning!
Damn this mans biceps😳
LMAO thank you ❤️😂
Man this is so sad
Told you so
Hey, I was playing your demo on steam and I ended up losing the simulator tutorial battle. When I went to try again my game froze and I had to close it losing my progress. Please help
we don't care. take as much time as you want
"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
-Shigeru Miyamoto
Idk if this relates to the exact situation but I thought this might help
I waited 1 year, you waited 2 years, we can wait a bit more right?
What is the role of the publisher? Is that just for the console ports?
you are not a failure. game dev is incredibly difficult. it is better to release a good game with as many bugs squashed than to release an unplayable mess. take your time and make it right. I know you can do this. look at what you have done, and how long you have come. compare yourself to who you are today with who you were yesterday.
Absolutely, completely agree with you! I always say the best type of comparison is to see where you have come from and where you are headed. It’s powerful!
Better to delay a game than release a broken product. People are far more likely to abandon a game that ships broken than one that gets pushed back.
It's better to squish some bugs than drive your dream against the wall with full speed. Don't do it like cyberpunk did. Do it right.
I’ll do my best!
So... You defined a deadline before even testing the game for yourself?
First :) i am seriously excited for this game when it comes out
Sorry, you got second.
Glad you are excited!!
That moment when you say "First" but your comment is the second
"A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is forever bad"
First time I'm hearing about this game, don't stress too much lol
Absolutely
What is up with your website man?
Something happened with my web host, looking into to fixing it as soon as possible :(
Ridiculous isnt it, you add a few features and create dozens of new bugs. Just take the time the playtest and fix, this is very slow, to help testing I make a dev console and cheats that recreate the exact thing im testing, this obviously saves many hours trying to recreate it manually. Good luck with the fixes, I think pretty much all games are delayed.
hey those seem like good publishers, willing to delay the game for a better product. 100% down, and no this is not failure and you shouldn't call it that.
Hard agree, they actually care about the product and reputation; these things happen in software all the time. You've done a great job up to now, just have to reel it in is all
Thanks guys!!
Bit more than you could chew.
click bait :(
