I'm usually more of a lurker but just wanted you to know that I absolutely love the new series. I found your channel when you were in the middle of developing Super Neat Cat and it's so cool to be able to follow Heatseed from the very beginning Also the chest animation is much more satisfying than it has any rights to be
Wow. Honestly, everything is amazing, the pixelart, effects, the different features you have are amazing. I can't wait for the game to be finished! Goodluck! I suggest doing a pumpkin + Grape, call it Grumpkin, I don't know if that's good, but keep it up!
@@NeatGames great! Mine got recked I tried upgrading the scene and it wont convert my assets, I dont know what happen, good thing it was just a prototype. Great Devlog man, Looking for on your game updates.
Thanks for the fix in Super Neat Cat! Heatseed continues to look better and better! What about Floraville for the town name? Just a thought. I also really love day/night cycles. That Unity lightning effect is always so pleasing to look at. I'm very happy you got it into the game. Anyway, love where you're going with this! :)
Wow, major progress this week!! It's incredible!! The game is looking better by every week, and it's slowly taking it's own identity!! Good Job!! Also, the heatseed should have a major role imo, not just be a selling object. They should be a object that you need to put them in a furnace, to revive some old machines that will light up a beacon and uncorrupts the land, or something like that. it needs to sound epic and intriguing to the player... not a "just sell it" :3 Uhhh... COCOKIN: A pumpkin that grows on a palm (coconut + pumpkin) (Ye... As you can see, i'm not very good with ideas... :/)
Great ideas as usual Marxy!! I really love the idea of the Heatseed waking up old machines and beacons! You're right the Heatseeds needs a major important role. I'll add your ideas to my notes :D I'll try and have is used in several different ways for sure.
I've been watching your videos for awhile now thanks for stopping by. Your game is really good and art is really good i wish i could do art but my expertise is programming lol.
Oh really, cool! It is tough learning something you're not familiar with~ Perhaps give stylized and simple a try at first, kinda like the game forager or even more simplified. Keep it up :D
The lightings soo cool, especially the mushrooms in the caves. I picked up Super Neat Cat, ill definitely leave feedback once I give it a go and maybe even stream the game, we'll see.
0:01 Wait where did the "Hello world, Neat Games here?" go. RIP "world" (just joking ;-) ) Perhaps you could make a mix of a Pumpkin and a Melon (maybe call it Mepkin ? ) It's amazing how much progress you've made and I really like the look of the game.
Thanks! I started with a top down asset pack as a reference! Much of it has been altered~ (I'm trying to work smarter and not harder since I'm solo with a full-time day job hehe) I'd say 50% of it is 100% original.
@@NeatGames yeah! That is smarter to do! Must be difficult managing time for this and your full-time job! Meanwhile I'm struggling to come up with an idea and all the time in the world! Haha good luck. Can't wait for the next progress update!
Something I think might make the light system better is to have them slowly turn on and off. You can do this with two animations that don’t loop then when your timer goes off you just switch their animation controller bool for light on then it will slowly turn on and stay on because it wont loop so it stays on the last frame, then vice versa. But love how the game is turning out
Awesome video!!! the only advice I can give is that I think you should change putting crops into the box for money. I think it is way too similar to Stardew valley
How are steam sales going on your first project? And kudos with this project your moving to extremely fast! Very motivational it makes me want to work work work. Gjgj
Thanks! Super Neat Cat isn't selling much haha (It's at 92 copies sold~). But no worries I'm just a hobbyist with a day job I like. I just really like finishing games now, so i 'll keep making games on Steam for the fun of it + it gives a little extra cash hehe :D
@@NeatGames plus do youtube and enjoy the journey. Nice nice I'm in the same boat working part time except I'm on my journey to creating a first steam game. Well gl bro!
You should make a separate hit frame for your enemies it makes them feel like they really took the hit also a hit flash and knock back would really make the game feel juicy
Join the discord to get the sprite art headgear template and submit your idea there as well :D Link in the description~
It's amazing how fast you make progress on this game. Really like the pixel art and effects :)
I'm glad you like it! I'll keep improving it :D
Nice progress man interesting to see how all this turns out at the end
Thanks for the comment! I hope it turns out well :D
This is really cool! It's beautiful to see your world come to life!😁
How about a raspberry and a pumpkin? Raskin!
Dang~~ that's a super good idea! And there isn't a red crop yet so it will look nice/standout too :D I think I will do this!
I like that you can't peek to the next room and cheat. Makes the game more mysterious 😊
Thanks! It was satisfying to figure it out :D
@@NeatGames it's definitely a mechanic I was gonna implement sínce I find the movement of the screen following the player can be dizzying
I'm super impressed how much fudging working you've got done in the last few weeks. Incredible.
Thanks a bunch! It will slow down soon, I start work again next week hehe :D

Wow, thank you for lurking and the awesome comment! Glad you're enjoying it :D
2:50 DOUBLE BUN!!!
Yeah I added them :D
This is looking awesome! I love seeing all the characters with the random option in the character creation screen.
Thanks Skeffles! It makes play testing more fun cuz with one click I have something new and random to play with haha :D
Wow. Honestly, everything is amazing, the pixelart, effects, the different features you have are amazing. I can't wait for the game to be finished! Goodluck!
I suggest doing a pumpkin + Grape, call it Grumpkin, I don't know if that's good, but keep it up!
Thanks a ton! And thanks for the great comment :D
I'm in the video! :D Nice work!
Yeah :D Thanks again! The random button makes playtesting even more fun for me :D
night scene looks really good! Great progress keep up the good work! Enjoyed your devlog.
Thanks! I'm happy updated to the 2D lights didn't break my game haha :D
@@NeatGames great! Mine got recked I tried upgrading the scene and it wont convert my assets, I dont know what happen, good thing it was just a prototype. Great Devlog man, Looking for on your game updates.
I can really appreciate the animated UI elements ;)
Thanks! Glad people notice hehe :D
Looks very good! Love the base grass tile visuals!
Thanks! I used a topdown asset reference to make it :D Came out nice for sure!
Very neat game, love the art-style too. Keep it up man!
Thanks a bunch! Yeah let's keep it up :D
Actually watched this before, forgot to comment. Nice video ;)
Welcome back! Thanks for the algorithm juice comment :D

Thanks a bunch! And thanks for letting me know about the Super Neat Cat freeze hehe, glad it works now :D
@@NeatGames :D
Looks so good!
Thanks! Glad it is appealing to some :D

First time viewer. Lover your pregress.
Try to tell it more like it matters, instead of it just being there. You put in enough effort as it is.
Thanks for the tips!

Oh really, cool! It is tough learning something you're not familiar with~ Perhaps give stylized and simple a try at first, kinda like the game forager or even more simplified. Keep it up :D
It's looks so much like a fully fledged game, great job neat
Thanks! :D MANY more things I gotta learn/figure out. For example: I think crafting will come much later~
Epic progress! You are getting faster and faster at making games! =)
Thanks! It is my winter break now so I have tons of time. It will slow down once work starts again hehe :D
The lightings soo cool, especially the mushrooms in the caves. I picked up Super Neat Cat, ill definitely leave feedback once I give it a go and maybe even stream the game, we'll see.
Awesome! Thanks a bunch :D
Pumpana (pumpkin+banana)
Oh that is a really good idea! Added to my notes thanks :D It's fun to say too haha
0:01 Wait where did the "Hello world, Neat Games here?" go. RIP "world" (just joking ;-) )
Perhaps you could make a mix of a Pumpkin and a Melon (maybe call it Mepkin ? )
It's amazing how much progress you've made and I really like the look of the game.
Oh did I forget haha. I try to make the video as short as possible now, so I write a simple script, so I don't ramble on and on anymore hehe :D
@@NeatGames Yeah that really helps. It is just way easier to record a video, when you have written a script (I started doing that recently).
Very cool! Did you make all the art yourself?
Thanks! I started with a top down asset pack as a reference! Much of it has been altered~ (I'm trying to work smarter and not harder since I'm solo with a full-time day job hehe) I'd say 50% of it is 100% original.

Damn! You working hard bro!
Thanks :D It will slow down a bit, I'm back at my day job hehe
Amazing progress the lighting is amazing and how about pumpkin and chili (chilkin)??
Cool idea! I do want to have a red crop. Thanks :D
Keep going man!
I will! Thanks :D
Looking good!
Thanks Llama :D
Looks cool
Thanks :D
Pumpkin + potion = Pumpkin Potion (Turns you into a pumpkin lmao, maybe good for halloween event)
Thanks Charcool! Fun idea :D
I think a little bit of screen shake would give attacks a little more weight, or maybe just screen shake when taking damage.
Oh that's a good idea! I'll play around with it thanks :D
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I will definitely submit a sprite art comp. Good devlog
Woo hoo :D

Awesome video!!! the only advice I can give is that I think you should change putting crops into the box for money. I think it is way too similar to Stardew valley
Thanks for the tip! I could make it a more Steampunky like tube or something :D
@@NeatGames Great idea!
I joined the discord 😊
Welcome!! Lots of cool game devs there :D
Are you going to do a kickstarter for this game?
Hmmm not sure, if I ever plan on paying someone to make music or a code helper perhaps? Thanks for all the comments :D
Cool :)
Thanks :D
nice ;D
Thanks ;D

Pumpkin cactus
Oh that is a cool idea! Thanks :D
Dude... just stop, just stop being so good with unity. The game looks great
I'll never stop! hehehe Thanks a bunch :D
