Thanks! I may have exaggerated a bit, but the point still stands I think people learn best about something they're excited about, not what's technically the "most amount of info" or "takes the most technical skill"

@cosion2566 thank you for this! You're absolutely right! I hope you're still learning too!

@@story_rich_games thank you friend that means so much!

@@NickDumar that's awesome! What are you working on these days?

@jermania7467 thanks so much, it means a lot!

Thanks so much, your words mean a lot! I totally get what you're saying. I've tried several SM tutorials and none (that I can remember) explain the power behind them, only that they are a strong and the "best" way to handle logic. My code is organized in a way that makes sense to me, and it functions as I need it to. At the end of the day, 99.9% of people who play a game have no idea what's under the hood. As long as it functions and does not fight against the player, it is 100% good coding. Thanks again for checking out my stuff! More to come, I hope to see you there!

@pushkar000 haha I suppose you're right! I'll get it one of these days 😋. For now, as a beginner, I'm satisfied with the complexity and capabilities of what I have. I've barely touched the tip of the tip of the iceberg!

@@uwelcome00 thank you! Will do!

I'll be looking back on this devlog years and years from now. You're forever a part of my journey now

@mr.pucksband25 thanks so much for the kind words! That's an incredible journey, I'd love to follow suit one day! I would love to get in touch, perhaps I can lean on you occasionally to learn and bounce ideas off of. You can find my email on my channel, and we can get connected through Discord if you like!

@@Wilson-108 Thanks for the kind words! Be careful, I just might take you up on that!

oh hey Wilson, nice to see you here! and Kyoto, amazing job with such a small timestamp! I'm confident your game will be great and I can't wait to play it

@@brunomello7499 thank you! I'll be needing play testers eventually, so perhaps you can get in the door quicker than you expect! Wilson has been a great friend here on this platform, always supporting on my uploads!

@ I hope so!

That game at the very beginning is Overrider A hoverboard-based, action roguelike. It's still in Alpha, I just used some footage I had as B roll It's pretty fun, I might fully review it when it releases

@@KyotoCrank Oh I see! Thanks for letting me know!

I'm so glad to hear that! Raw Metal just got a big update which has helped with the difficulty curve, I was finally able to take down the second boss!

Thanks for the constructive criticism! I'll add in some short clips next time. I didn't think about how much information could translate in 10-20 seconds

@@KyotoCrank my pleasure! I did recently a top 10 and I know how hard it is 😅 too often people don't think about all the work behind a video, even if it seems "simple".

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be checking out your channel too

@@KyotoCrank Thank you! I hope you can find it interesting

Haha thank you! Did any seem interesting to you? What's one of your favorite games you played this year?

@@KyotoCrank Probably from what i played in 2024 prince of persia: lost crown, half-life alyx (and mods), baldur's gate 1 with sword coast stratagem mod, raytraced doom 2 remake, SpaceChem or Chants of Sennaar. I guess none of these were indies and from this year. Tunic, Armoured core 6, Alan Wake 2 and Arkham Shadow are being played but I don't think i will manage to finish them all, but all four look very promising. From AAA either Astrobot or Elden Ring expansion, but frankly the first one is not deep enough playing on graphics, haptics and nostalgia without deeply developed game mechanics and the second one feels very unfinished (great until like 30% and entire areas feel empty and rushed). About the indies of 2024, I am not as sold as the community: while i enjoyed animal well (collected all eggs but didn't do the rest of the secrets), i didn't find it that amazing after the fantastic first 5-6 hours (hollow knight was the opposite and it just kept getting better until i platinumed it). Balatro didn't really do it for me, unlocked all decks and made it to like 3-4 level with each deck but just didn't enjoy it and i could tell basically after the second blind latest if i will get far in a run or not. Helldivers was great for 10 hours but is very repetitive and the enjoyment depends if you find good team mates. Lorelei, UFO 50, Metaphor, Unicorn Overlord, and some of your recommendations (king of the bridge, extra coin) are still on the list for next year.

and maybe dungeons of hinterberg if i have time..

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed and the list helped! Let me know when you get to those games and what you think of them!

Glad to hear you enjoyed! Let me know when you get to those games and your thoughts!

Absolutely! There are very many points in this game for self reflection. It's kind of surreal to feel lectured by a video game, but damn if they weren't spittin'

Glad to hear it! Why the break from gaming?

@@KyotoCrankit wasn’t by choice. Just circumstances. I was like 11. 20 years later BotW came out and I caught wind of it and Witcher 3. Played those then quit again, then Total lead me to Dark Souls1. Tried that and loved it. So I beat the whole souls like genre. Then my lil brother recommended GoW. 10/10. Loved it. Great video btw. Really covered how great of a game it is. I got the 100% the first play thru. Top 3 games of all time

100% on first playthrough is some real dedication! Glad you liked the video, and hope you stick around!

Admittedly, I have not YET played the original GOWs, so I lack that kind of bias. This game and it's story is so good, how can the veil of nostalgia mess with that? Glad to hear you enjoy it as much as I do!

I think some GoW fans that played the Greek games don’t like when people say the Norse game has added so much depth to Kratos and made him so mature. When in reality the depth was always in the story, it’s just that over the course of these games character depth and themes have come to the forefront with the more narrative driven game design.

Great point! I need to play the originals to see for myself.

@@KyotoCrank there have been rumours for a remaster collection of all the Greek games. So if they are true there is your perfect chance 👌🏿

@@kwamekuma360 Hell yes bröther thanks for the heads up 🍻

You're exactly right, I was born in the 2000s. I can only speak on what I've experienced, and among what I myself have played, this is peak game design. What game do you think has the best design? (I'm genuinely asking, not trying to debate)

And it means you haven't played games after the year 2000, Simple.

@@ryean8212 and that means you think you’re smart but you’re just a dumb moron, simple…

@@ryean8212 Your comment suggests you’re acting smart while in fact you’re a dumb moron, simple…

@@ryean8212 you can’t read English properly, don’t comment, go back to school….

You're in for a treat!

Hey, thanks for the comment! I understand what you mean about the thumbnails, and I intentionally choose to use the art that the games use. I don't want to modify it in case someone wants to see a review before they purchase, they can recognize it immediately Thanks for taking the time to check out my channel and watch video/s!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

You have been informed now, friend

@@KyotoCrank TY!!

I'm not sure if it will come to consoles, but I hope it does so you can experience it! Thanks for the kind words, and always taking the time to watch my videos and commen!

@@KyotoCrank You got it man, looking forward to the next one!

Flashing lights and colors go brrrrr

Bro how did you even get here so fast

I agree. In this game, it was kind of sudden, where the dialogue would suddenly stop having sound when there was still more in the dialogue box. I wish they had removed the voice acting entirely instead of halfway doing it.

Truly! The swinging around with the grapple was really satisfying gameplay too

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say!

Well, you were the only one to ask one lol. Thanks for always interacting and being a nice and cool dude

@@KyotoCrank Right back atcha man :)

It's not perfect that's for sure. Plenty of signs that it's an indie project, but I'm sure it's great for the right people. Like I mentioned, many of the steam reviews are positive, so maybe I'm just a *little* biased. As for BG3, it's definitely worth a play. I'm a huge D&D nerd, so it was perfect for me. Let me know what you think of it when you get around to it. It is quite long though, especially if you like tying up every loose end and finding as many secrets as possible.

Hey thanks for bringing this up. Unfortunately this is something I missed. If there's no other mention of this Anna in the house other than the picture you mentioned, it can't be another child of the family which was my initial thought when you mentioned this. There was mention of the local high schoolers walking through the fields after school, so it wouldn't be a stretch to say they could potentially go on a "walk" which could be code for smoking and drinking in secret. Dean, the character you play as, is under 21 and has a drinking problem, so it's already a topic the dev touches on. A note in the father's study mentioned that this daughter was struggling to make friends. So perhaps when she made her first friend with this girl Anna, she became much more attached than "just friends", and being from a point in time where homosexuality isn't as accepted as today, and in a rural and probably Christian area, she was afraid to tell her family about this secret crush. To my understanding, the monster within the house is an embodiment of grief and depression, so if/when this Anna girl goes missing, that could have been the tipping point for the daughter in the house, to begin her drastic downward spiral. This is just my speculation without the proper context, but it's fun to theorize! I'd love to hear your thoughts as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for the kind words! Please let me know what you end up playing!

It truly was an emotional rollercoaster! The first time it was so hard to say goodbye, even if it was for a good reason

I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for your comment. After going back over my list, I see that only 2 games could not be considered indie, which is my mistake. Enter the Gungeon and Pentiment. Thanks for watching the video long enough to reach the P's!
