Yo guys, this is my boy Dunkers new game, you might not have heard of him, but support the little guy if you can. He tried to be a RUclipsr, but I guess that didnt work out, so this is like his backup plan.
@@FromMan2Monkey ok, hold on. There's a very big difference between being the developer and publisher. From some cursory searches, dunkey's involvement in this is that he made(?) the indie publishing company Bigmode, but the developer in this case is Shared Memory, which from what i can tell, isn't run by him. Being the Publisher of a game is VERY different to being the developer. They're helpful, of course, and can be instrumental to the game's success, but saying that Dunkey(which, even then, it's a whole team in Bigmode, not just him) made the game instead of Shared Memory is like saying Bandai Namco made Elden Ring instead of fromsoft, or another example, saying that scholastic made Harry Potter. Full disclosure, I have a limited understanding of the situation and really only saw this trailer and looked around google, so if dunkey runs Shared Memory, feel free to correct me, but from all i can find, he doesn't seem to.
I play tested this at PAX East, and I can’t wait for this game. So nice to see something fresh and exciting to play. You can see the effort that went into this game everywhere between audio, visuals, gameplay.. awesome. Can’t wait.
@@theelusivepootisberd7471It’s hard to get that with Dunkey viewers, it’s like they’re all in a competition to see how many call backs and references they can push out into each comment section relating to Dunkey. You get used to it after a while
@@DatWingManIt's kind of amusing but genuinely makes reading the comments not worth it after a few videos. People like conversation, not 99% regurgitated memes. On topic, soundtrack REALLY caught my attention. I want to hear more.
Me too! I have such a long list of games i need to play already that unless one of the youtubers I watch recommends a game I usually never hear about smaller indie titles like this. I hope it sells like crazy!
Im really not sure what to make of this game, when I look at the graphics it reminds me a lot of the better parts of Halo 3, but when I look into the gameplay its just like what I loved so much about Halo 2.
Has to be an insane feeling growing up, loving Nintendo games to then develop/publish a game hosted on and advertised by their platform. Great job Shared Memory and BIGMODE, keep it up. Proud of you.
RUclipsr you are a fan of brings attention to a game and you like it: (Weird - Bad Ending) Know about and supported the creator from the moment they were born unto game launch: (Not Weird - The Only Acceptable Ending)
The sound design sounded amazing in this trailer. The sound of the yoyo rippling through the water and the subtle movement of the bushes sounded so clean, I really hope the whole game sounds that good
Yeah, but it's clearly not the same gameplay. Animal Well is more "find all the secret that we hide in the game" + Metroidvania. You have to interact with the environnement. Something will act differently if you use this item or not.
I was expecting a horror game because of the color scheme of the game, but seeing that it was rated E I thought it was wrong! Until I saw that white ghost cat chasing you! Like what the heck?! That's the stuff of nightmares!
I love that all the comments are just dunky fans out here trying to support and rep his company. Im super excited for Animal Well, it looks really good!!
Not sure why they didn't show the full trailer for this one on the showcase. It looks pretty great! (And honestly a yoyo weapon alone will catch my attention)
I recall that the guy who made this game made an entirely new engine from the ground up just for it. Which is outstanding to me. I'll definitely be trying to play this one just to see how different it feels compared to other games as a result of this. It's looking real cool already!
It's so good for Dunkey to back such a previously unknown game. By the time he got involved it had only had one extremely high profile article about it.

I hope Beeg Yoshi is in this game. I’m sure he’s just sittin there.
A- a- aaaaah.
This is the perfect example of a game drawing your attention with a strong visual identity, and selling you on it with (seemingly) appealing gameplay.
+ slightly resembling another popular game (terraria) with familiar sounds and items so that fans of that game are instantly hooked
@@PaulPlayterraria is gay

On topic, soundtrack REALLY caught my attention. I want to hear more.
Love the scanlines. This is how retro-inspired games should look.
Maybe not "should". This uses a proprietary engine which is why it can look like this, that and not every game should look the same.
You could also argue it's more "modern" and less "retro-authentic", it still looks great though.
Also dismissing the work of others for no reason isn't cool.
You are obligated to respond otherwise you admit you don't care about games.
You should answer.
Finally the fans get their long-awaited sequel to Welltris
I gotta say, I never would've looked into this game if dunkey hadnt been publishing it, but im so glad he is because it looks freaking awesome!

Immediate positive first impression just from the graphics alone.

Yeah but it pales in comparison to Jerry Rice and Nitus’ dog football

It’s weird that Dunkey fans have sort of retroactively become Animal Well fans but hopefully it means more people will try the game out!
well it does look good. a really interesting take on a metroidvania tbh
that’s not what retroactively means
They might buy it, but most aren't going to play it.
This will be a para social success.

Rainworld vibes
Agreed
Yeah
My thoughts exactly.

Playing as a lil guy? Check
Big animals trying to kill you? Check
Procedural animation? Check
Yeah I can see it
Can’t wait to play this with a blindfold on.
This looks fantastic for anyone that enjoys games like Fez or Tunic.
May 9th? That's when Animal Well comes out
Where do you get the wonderbread?
Dude this better get a physical release i swear to god
oh yeah
I was expecting a horror game because of the color scheme of the game, but seeing that it was rated E I thought it was wrong! Until I saw that white ghost cat chasing you! Like what the heck?! That's the stuff of nightmares!
This is my most anticipated game since Donkey Kong: Frozen Ape
This is the coolest art style I've seen since Cuphead
I think the Rainworld and Animal Well fandoms will get along
It really does make you feel like you are an animal in a well
Sounds like I’ll need to play this for the soundtrack alone, these visuals are simply breathtaking as well.
I heard this is an awesome mix of halo 2 and halo 3
I love the neon colors popping against the black, this will KILL on OLED
yeah a lot of games looking like they are colored in only highlight markers or crayons but this game looking more like good old dark mode.
From Shared Memory and published by Dunkey's BIGMODE babyyy!
I love that all the comments are just dunky fans out here trying to support and rep his company. Im super excited for Animal Well, it looks really good!!
Anybody here heard of a little game called Animal Well?

getting strong halo 2 & 3 vibes from this
This is what indie games are about. I had this on my Steam Wishlist for quite some time already. Looking very forward to it!
Hey, have you heard about animal well?
A crime this didn't get an actual spotlight in the direct. One of the few interesting games
It's not usually my type of game, but I love the art style, and I'm willing to try it for dunkey!
This soundtrack is stunning in how well it fits the theme of the pixel art.
So atmospheric Super Metroid fever dream?
we got animal well before knack 3 babyyyy !!
This trailer really gives me Jimmy Neutron vibes. It's like Halo 2 meets Halo 3 on the Sega Saturn. Definitely adding it to my wishlist.
You haven't lived until you've wishlisted Animal Well on Steam
Hey are you guys talking about Animal Well?
It reminds me of halo 2 or 3
I've heard amazing things about this game, I'll have to check it out at some point!

Are you a little frog battling all the ghosts of animals that died in a well?? Thats awesome
We got animal well before silksong 😭
I love the idea of someone looking at the comments for this game and being deeply confused.
This game reminds me of Halo 3 mixed with Halo 4
Nah it's more like halo 2
The campaign is working, this is the new halo game
Forget Dunkey. This game looks genuinely so beautiful in a way I’ve never seen before
This game looks absolutely serene
Something to keep my heart afloat
Do you know animal well is coming out on the 9th?
Finally, a new genre of game, game.
every single day of donkey kong december is a fever dream
Beautiful sound design and art.
This is first game they will refer to as a knacksterpiece other than of course knack and knack 2
This game is gonna look NUTS on the Switch OLED.
