I've been trying to make games ever since I was a kid. I've made several box prototypes but never finished any, dev stories like these inspire me tho.

[@watermelingaming160]

Really enjoyed this, it was a quick easy watch and learned some cool things about a game I’m loving. Great job!

[@minnmax]

Oh great, thanks so much for checking it out! We're always curious what kind of interest there is in short stuff like this.

[@watermelingaming160]

@@minnmax I love your guys long form content personally. This though felt easier to share and digest to my friends I’m playing valheim with that aren’t part of the community yet. The information was interesting all the way through and quick. I’ll keep sharing and commenting in hopes that the algorithm god sends his/hers blessings your way.

[@dvoidis]

Hey!! nice video!, and yea what can I say, love making games, experimenting and finding my own solutions to problems. Also as a company we will try to become more transparent (again) with what we do and why in the future =)

[@minnmax]

Oh wow, glad you found the video! Feel free to send me an email if you want to talk more - [e-mail]

Ben Hanson is coming for you No Clip Documentaries

[@minnmax]

Ha, not quite... But thanks for watching the video!

[@Moonsbro]

These types of videos like the one for G bike and the interviews are the thing that keeps me coming back to minnmax

[@minnmax]

Oh interesting, thanks! Any help sharing the video is appreciated!

[@darkfishdays]

Short. Informative. Unique perspective. Good video!

[@minnmax]

Hey, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@PrimalBeard]

Quite helpful. Thanks!

[@SteeleGolem]

This is great progress, Ben! I do think it would be cool if the trees shook when you spoke. Just an idea.

[@minnmax]

Haha, brilliant.

[@SuperNintendad]

Most of the time I am listening to videos when doing other things. When videos are short like this my ADHD will let me sit down and watch the whole thing.

[@gamegnome]

Find him and interview him!

[@morehumanity]

fwiw I think that was supposed to be a David Attenborough impression not Werner Herzog

[@Newt211]

I feel hungry for more. I feel like you were just getting started before it ended abruptly. Anyways thanks for the info.

[@minnmax]

Hey we tried.

[@Newt211]

@@minnmax I wasn’t complaining, I was just really interested and was hungry for more.

[@Steiny5843]

Hold on i need to know more about George though

[@dakota265893]

I hope George eventually got the help he needed

[@ctbalcerak]

Title of the video misspelled Valheim

[@minnmax]

Well that's embarrassing. Fixed!

[@ctbalcerak]

Happy to help! Great video!

[@MrKennyBones]

Feid is pronounced exactly the same as Fade.

[@Lajosen]

Almost but not quite you still pronounce the J in fejd

[@jacksonarnold27]

This was really interesting

[@minnmax]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cakmaikoclaksuh8801]

nobody knows the struggle behind games in general

[@kristirajandu9900]

Poor George! 😭🤡❤

[@Flyingdutchy33]

How can you possibly document something you're not actually doing, though?

[@joemomma91]

Pronounce the word coward!
