"you can pet the rock" GOTY CONFIRMED !
GOTD Game of the Decade? 👀
I LOVE your pixel arts.
Thank you! 😄
Gods the movement looks so smooth and fun to play with... unbelievably excited for a demo.
Thank you! 🙂
I try to keep up with devs like this... But your game definitely stands out. I love the art style and gameplay sooo much! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! 😄
The art and animation in your game look gorgeous! Amazing work! Subscribed :)
Thank you 😀
It's really starting to shape up and look amazing.
Thank you Joshua! 😀
It was amaziiiiing!!!! As usual 😍 keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you! 😊
This is my first time coming across this channel, and I’m very impressed and excited by this game concept. The movement looks very fluid and the animations are class! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😄
Your pixel animation is really good, I would probably spent a lot of time just running around if I was playing
Thank you! Yeah I strive to make it fun to just run around! 🙂 Kind of like how you can spend hours just running around in the Mario64 Hub 😄
Your game looks super polished already.
Thank you Erdem! 🙂
So awesome as usual! Being able to customize the character colors would be cool!
Thank you! Yeah for now the plan is for shoes and entire outfits so pants hoodie and jacket would all change together 🙂
Just found ya! This games aesthetic is SICK! I've got some devlog's to binge!
Haha Thanks. Just a heads up. The early ones aren't that great! 😅
Wow. You've got such a smooth set of animations in this game. I am very interested to see more.
Thank you! 🙂
Great devlog as always, really excited to see how everything is gonna turn out!^^
Thank you! 😄
i like this kind of devlog so entertaining😊👍
Thank you! 🙂
Yaaaay! A new devlog!!! Can’t wait 😍
I can't wait either, I'm so excited
The pet rock should be hidden somewhere in every level and it's just that specific rock that you can pet, and maybe something happens when you pet it in every level.
Yeah I had something like that in my mind, would be cool! 😄
Really really gorgeous work as always.
In the previous Devlog you've asked if any other game features Parkour the way you've implemented, there is one game that I though of, Vector. It's a 2D mobile, infinite runner kind of game that features parkour and sexy smooth animations. You should check it out!
Thank you! Oh yeah thats true I remember playing that when I was younger! Thanks I'll check it out! 🙂
C A N D L E
Quality content
Thanks 🙂
@@JustFredrik finished watching the video just now, dude I REALLY like the shoes idea. I must ask, why is his head a candle?
@@timothymakesgames Thanks! I posted a video showing the collectible shoes incorporated into the game on my Twitter and I'll show it in the next devlog 🙂
He is a candle because it creates a simple and readable character palette and I thought it was a fun concept 🙂
10/10 update. Would recommend.
Thanks Mr Whale!
nice video eddie the eagle
Thanks!
pretty fucking sick !
Thanks! 🙂
Is his candle gonna be lit up and then maybe as you move around you can see more in the darkness
Yes, that might be a feature! 🙂
hiiii im from fairlii's live. just subbed
Thanks dude! 😄
I like the look of the game a lot. the animations are so spot on in my opinion.. Is it unity you're using? or godot?
Thanks dude! I'm using GameMaker Studio for the project 🙂
@@JustFredrik cool :) do you have a general sense of what the gameplay is going to focus on? Looks like you're going for a parkour style movement, but is it supposed to be fast phased throughout with fast combat? Or are you gonna mix in physics and puzzle elements as well? Maybe you're just going with the flow and see what happens? :)
@ I have a general sense of where I want things to go 🙂 I want to mix it up but allow players to be fast. Main inspirations rn are Sekiro, Mirrors Edge, Celeste and Zelda. But I will let the game speak for itself and listen if I feel like changing directions would be better for the game 🙂
@@JustFredrik sounds like a good philosophy. I'll be following your project, keep up the good work man
I think it would be cool if you could implement the fact that he has a candle for a head in the gameplay in some way.. Either have it light up to indicate a power up is active, or use it to indicate the start of a timed trial (like jumping through a burning ring or something) that you have to finish before your head melts, or something. I think that would give the character an extra layer of depth and be an interesting mechanic.
There is only one thing I can say: Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Wooo!
Since you've already responded to me a few times, I feel spoiled, so don't feel obligated to respond, but I will say that while I like seeing a bit of personality and such in these videos, I'm actually far more interested in just seeing the game upgrades and such. Maybe a little bit of "how I figured out how to get this to work" stuff, but all preambling and such isn't nearly as interesting. I'd recommend either eliminating it, or limiting it to no more than 5% to 10% of an episode.
Edit: Oh, another thing: I've noticed that candlehead himself looks a little. . . chubby, particularly in his running animation. I feel like he'd look better if he were slimmed down a bit. Then again, you might be going for a rotund/cylindrical look, so this criticism might be irrelevant.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm trying to get a bit more horizontal coverage for the character, just having a slim vertical line. Trying to to make it readable! 🙂
The jacket is pretty puffy and flops around a bit during the run! 🙂
I'll take the feedback into concideration and think about it if/when I revise the animation 🙂
DEVELOPER LOG or DEVELOPER VLOG???? (Devlog)
Who knows 🤷♂️ Maybe both? 😱
@@JustFredrik hahahaha
how did you animated those plants? is it just sprite animation ? look Cool :{
The sprites are drawn on a quad and I use a buildt in function to move the courners of the quad based on some wind values and external forces applied to the plant! So they are animated with code! :) (will later change it to a shader because it doesn't interpolate the texture so it gets some weird stretching across the two triangles that make up the quad)
what country do you live in it is actually beauttiful
I live in Sweden! 😄
:)
can you make it available in android too.
I unfourtunatly have no plans to release this for any mobile devices! 🙂
I recomend to make a idle animation, but still cool
I used to have an idle animation but then I updated the idle pose and haven't gotten around to making a new one. I've prioretized getting more essential things into the game. I'll evntually get there but it's just for looks so it's not a high prio right now
You're a bit awkward
Yo could you elaborate dude?
