MASSIVE W FOR THE CRAB FANS ❤🦀 Thank you Iron Pineapple!!! 😤
-
time for crab
-
that crab boss with the chopsticks was insanely cool, the fact that the chopsticks dont break right is perfect
-
Pressing A to “Acknowledge Knowledge” is so stupidly witty, now I want that game
-
Composer and sound designer for Perennial Order here. The fact you enjoyed our game, and my music and sound design, is insanely awesome. Thanks for playing!!
-
The chopsticks breaking unevenly had me CACKLING
-
Oh my god, the boss names in Another Crab's Treasure are such a treat. Lycanthrope -> Lichenthrope, Imitation Crab -> Intimidation Crab. Just a small part of what looks like beautiful sense of world building and immersion. Fantastic take
-
My only complaint for Thymesia was that the first boss was definitely the hardest, game felt like a breeze after finally defeating him
-
Our team is ecstatic you featured Perennial Order in one of these videos! We've watched this series for a long time and always talked about how awesome it'd be to be included one day, we really appreciate it!
-
Hey, dev of INTO EVIL here! Thank you so much for playing! I've actually released some very hefty updates to the demo since the version you played! Also, there's a free demo available - so if anyone watching thinks it looks like fun you can go give it a shot!
-
I played Witchfire right through and it's a phenomenal achievement for a small indie team. I highly recommend supporting them by giving the game a try. If you like a challenge, even in its current state, it's a lot of fun, and the final version looks in my opinion like it'll be a must-play.
-
As a designer, I massively appreciate this series because it teaches me about a genre I don't normally engage with and gives me insight on What To Do and What Not To Do in ways that I don't normally consider. Thank you for your efforts.
-
Omg, hello I'm the Prison of Husks dev, thank you so much for playing! I've been watching your videos for sometime! I had a big smile on my face seeing you progress through the prison and discovering its secrets. I'm still developing this project so if anyone is keen I'll continue to make more devlogs on all my pages! :D
-
Fun fact: Witchfire's combat design was originally just a series of sectioned-off arenas like a traditional rogue-like, but the lead designer felt that it would waste the intricate environments the team had designed, so they completely overhauled the game design to accommodate for open environments. It's one of the reasons the game has been in development for so long.
-
So fun fact about that boss Heikea from One Crab's Treasure; the Heike crabs are an actual phenomenon where locals believed they were possessed by the souls of the Heike clan and fisherman would throw back crabs whose shells look like Samurai masks leading to a crazy case of artificial selection where a lot of Heike crabs now look uncannily like Samurai masks it's cool as hell. It's also where the Genji 2 game demo Giant Enemy crab meme came from in a roundabout way.
-
Prison of Husks might actually be the most soulslike soulslike you’ve ever played. The environments, the level design, the combat, the mechanics, the item descriptions and flavor text…legit the most soulslike game I’ve ever seen.
-
Here I am, happy to watch one of my favorite Youtubers, when BAM! A game I'm working on (Witchfire) is getting featured! Such an unreal experience.
-
Designer and engineer from Cervus Blade here. I've been following this series, and it's really hype to see our game getting featured! Thanks for playing our game!
-
For the Crab game, there's actually a funny idle animation where the crab is playing with his heals and drops one and you actually lose it, it's a funny neat mechanic lol
-
Witchfire looks amazing and I feel like that game needs more recognition pronto.
