Both a Watermelon and a Pumpkin is a type of Berry. So are Tomatoes, Cucumbers and even Bananas. Amusingly Blackberries, Raspberries and Strawberries aren't a type of Berry at all lol. They're a type of aggregate fruit .
It's always a pleasure to see more games fill the Siege defence genre, this one is really promising, what looks like ballistic physics in particular. I can imagine how satisfying artillery salvos are going to be on massive waves of enemies.
I can't believe it, a Stronghold inspired game that looks the part after so many years. I HAVE A STIFFY! But I do be missing the rich overdone isometric graphics.
seriously though I have forgotten about the Stronghold series after Stronghold 3 and in fact just remember it with the release of Stronghold Warlords which I bought and played... and thought was terrible and I seriously miss/want a new "modern" Stronghold game.
It's really a sight to see "They are Billions" being used as the foundation for so many games like this one lol! But so far, Riftbreaker and this game have the highest potential out of all the games that I've seen so far with this kind of uh.. genre.
JunK I think They Are Billions jumpstarted the genre pretty well. There is ine game that's basically a medieval They Are Billions where you fight the undead
I love myself a citybuilding survival game. Doesn't matter if its armies, monsters or the elements. I love building cities and optimizing building chains, but there has to be some kind of threat to make it interesting. :)
@@moto_kattie8088 I just played the demo and I think I could sink dozens of hours into it... seems really cool and challenging. Wave 3 kicked my ass. I like the minimalist artstyle.
Oh is that the actual name for that? I would’ve never figured that out I thought it would’ve just been called like a brewpub tavern or even a winery even though that doesn’t make much sense but you know
One more for making your own mead. But also there are a few local places that sell mead at reasonable prices. You could also check the local Renaissance Faires. Lake Folsom Faire is this weekend.
Totally agree with the Stronghold sentiments. I loved the originals so much and was devastated when the later releases were so bad. "*snort* I win! I win! No one beats the PIG!!" :rage:
Splat: Too bad you can only place 1 archer / wall part Me: Wish they invented some stuff where you could put more. Like it would be a big square with elevated stands. Something that would be more durable than a wood wall. I got a good idea for the name too. We could call it a tower. It could hold up to 9 shooters or 1 war machine. I know it's a crazy idea. Not sure if this game thought of that.
for the fruit context, a berry known as an indehiscent, which is a subcategory of fruit. So all berries are fruit but not all fruit are berries. It would still be a berry no matter the size, as long as it has a single ovary and the whole wall is fleshy.
The graphics/atmosphere gave me a foundation vibe, and i like this kind of cartoon-ish animations!...great looking game, awesome review!...thanks for sharing mr splat!
I'm surprised that I don't see anyone mentioning Kingdoms and Castles as an inspiration for this game. The blocky style, gameplay, and medieval fantasy theme make me think of it instantly.
And the available buildings and calling the castle the town center reminds me of Age of Empires. I'm pretty sure all 3 have been some inspiration to the game.
@@steveweidig5373 woo-hoo! Old guy club in here 😂 I'm 35 myself, and I had 500 aswell, with an extra disc drive attached, pure luxery, a little less swapping required 👍
I really like the look of this game, thank you for bringing it to my attention I will be watching it I both like and dislike the consuming of the forests: Like: Realism, I can clear space for biulding(it drives me nuts in they are billions when a single tree messes up my whole build) Dislike: It places a finite limit on the resource and as such a finite limit on the time on the map, I like being able to use forest boarding as choke points
This is the first video of yours I've seen, I just clicked on it almost at random while looking for something to watch. I like your style! The game looks pretty neat, too. I'm not quite as big on the endless defence genre as you, but I reckon I'd dig this one.
I have had this wishlisted for quite some time and have to say I am very happy with the demo thus far. The only things I feel need tweaking are the ability to have more sustainable food production aka build farms, smaller housing space/or ability to upgrade like in Kingdoms & Castles, larger granary storage/universal addition of space for all granaries (right now they are independent buildings and don't add to the total food storage, only local), and a more efficient logistical network for porters. Overall though, VERY happy with the one man dev and can't wait to see where this game goes!
@@moto_kattie8088 I have indeed! At this current point, only the first "tier" of buildings and research are available, so if you survive for roughly 40mins-to an hour, then you will find that expanding your population and army are hampered by a lack of consistent food given that both the berry bushes and fishing spots run out.
@@moto_kattie8088 oh I DID VERY MUCH!! Highly impressed with the current state of the game given that it is being made by only one person. Cannot WAIT for the full version, it is going to be awesome!!
This would be soooo cool in multiplayer. I can imagine either sending armies to fight each other or seeing who can outlast the raids and trying to mess the other person up by destroying resources
Hey Splat, about the berry thing. A pineapple is technically a berry (well berries). There are a few others as well, along with a ton of different kinds of pineapples. Some even have the consistency of marshmallows and the flavor of vanilla. You a always have fun facts for us that id never find on my own so I thought I’d share my random fruit info. Check out Miami fruit if you want a solid place to get foreign interesting fruits 😊
you werent paying attention but that logger didnt come out of the woods, there was a lone tree next to your keep there an while you were talking just as your lumbermill finished he chopped down a tree. :)
Do cherry tomatoes no longer tomatoes because they are small as olives? Do little people no longer count as human? Taxonomic categories don't change based on size.
i could literally sit here and watch you play for hours on end. i get so frustrated when i see 30 mins of a brilliant game. i dont think i enjoy watching any other streamers.. i just wanna see the game conclude lol!
Hi there splatter. Im watching your vids for a while now and i was wondering if you will do a video of your favorite top 10 indie games or so? Would be amazing to watch. Thanks
What's a Good City Builder/Manager that also Has civilisations and war that you have to deal with from time to time? Some thing Kinda reminiscent to, Pharaoh - (Ancient Egypt City Builder) [1999] But Better and newer Hopefully.
I wish there would be games with real diplomacy. Not just a trade window, but with real intel, leverage, high-stakes short term rapport building, long term planning based on different personalities, but as a game, so that trying different things doesn't result in real-life negative consequences.
Dude, you actually guessed it. A berry the size of your head would be a melon, because melons -from a botanical standpoint- literally are just huge berries.
Maybe consider a series where you show case games that are already out? I keep going to check out these games you feature to buy them but keep finding they aren't able to be bought yet.
The ice-cold calculations of army general sending forth the foot-solders to sally-forth and meet the enemy threat head on outside the safe confines of the walls or the foolish stupidity of an incompetent commander sending their troops to meet certain death for absolutely no reason whatsoever! They say "good art imitates real life". They might be right.
By yourself a large plastic water bottle the kind that fits in a office water dispenser put one gallon of honey in it with three and a half gallon of water then dissolve honey into water then cast your yeast you can use bread yeast or you can order fancy champagne yeast into some warm water until it blooms then pour it into your mixture and then you need to buy a bubbler which is a cork with an s valve in it that allows gas to escape place this in your room someplace relatively warm or next year water heater and in a few weeks you will have homemade Mead.
The voice acting is surprisingly good but I'm not sure the swordsman should be saying "Roger that." lol
Roger roger
Roger roger
Yes, my liege
He should be saying “FOR THE GOD EMPEROR”
Both a Watermelon and a Pumpkin is a type of Berry. So are Tomatoes, Cucumbers and even Bananas.
Amusingly Blackberries, Raspberries and Strawberries aren't a type of Berry at all lol. They're a type of aggregate fruit .
Pineapple is also a berry. I believe they call it a complex berry or compound berry, something along those lines.
Lol I came here to make the same comment. And the worlds largest pumpkin was 2624.6 pounds. So thats a berry that weighs over a ton
Haha! Splatty guessed right! Basketball sized berries ARE, indeed commonly called melons.
Also about time for our fella to invest in some bee hives and home brewing setup, if he can't get domestic mead.
How aggregatevating
Can we just give the man a moment of respect for the fact that his voice is on point, hey Porter bring this guy a dollar
he really sounds like medieval peon ^^n gotta love it
I came here to say the same thing

catapult shots into a pile of enemies is fantastic you're correct :D
I can't believe it, a Stronghold inspired game that looks the part after so many years. I HAVE A STIFFY! But I do be missing the rich overdone isometric graphics.
I believe these are the syntystore assets or derived from them. see plenty of games with them these days.

Try They are Billions
It's really a sight to see "They are Billions" being used as the foundation for so many games like this one lol! But so far, Riftbreaker and this game have the highest potential out of all the games that I've seen so far with this kind of uh.. genre.
riftbreaker does look pretty damn sweet. can't wait to see reviews and stuff of that in late october
Yeah looks good on both of these games so far.
I would say that riftbreaker is closer to factorio.
JunK I think They Are Billions jumpstarted the genre pretty well. There is ine game that's basically a medieval They Are Billions where you fight the undead
I agree, this game has a very high score of potential
Yo Splattercat, you do such a great job highlighting games. I've learned about so many interesting ones thanks to you. Keep up the great work :)

Oh is that the actual name for that? I would’ve never figured that out I thought it would’ve just been called like a brewpub tavern or even a winery even though that doesn’t make much sense but you know
Starting a brewpub/ wine/ meadery is a big deal. Hope you've got some experience running a restaurant or other small business.

They are no berries anymore... they are BEARies now!
A 90s alternative band reference turned into a Mead Pun. This is why I'm here. You won't be all alone in your time of need, friend.
I really like the low poly look of this one.

and what can you say about Diplomacy?
Aside from Stronghold, this reminds me a lot of Castles, which was a pretty old game that I used to play on the Amiga 500
And the available buildings and calling the castle the town center reminds me of Age of Empires. I'm pretty sure all 3 have been some inspiration to the game.

Love the genre too man. This will go right into my steam collection
yeaaah😉
Splat: What would you call a berry the size of a basketball?
Me: Uh... ballberry?
"Ah the dead are gonna be a problem soooo....we should make more dead people!!"
Yes good, let it flow through you
Make your own mead its super simple. It's water yeast and honey
17:00 Nice moves with the catapult! Props!
22:55 "Usurp his real estate options". The polite way to say "Wipe them out and take their land".
Those giant berries are definately berroons! Ridiculously large and inflated like balloons.
Getting strong *They Are Billions* vibes.
Nice ! Thanks :) !
I would definitely watch World History by Splattercat
Looks like they mixed They are Billions and Stronghold for this one. I like it 😂
Make your own mead bro, it's surprisingly easy. Mostly a lot of waiting.
Goddamn that "Close the gate my lord," caught me by surprise.
"Are we gaining wood? I should keep an eye on how much wood I have." ~ SC 2021 😁
I would think there would be hotkeys for military units in this game. It looks pretty neat
Looks like They Are Billions but without the obnoxiousness. Very cool.
Just wish this game had some diplomacy in it.
Sorry, not an option
Awesome. I've been waiting for this game to reach some sort of demo for a while now. Super stoked.
Have you tried it already?
@@moto_kattie8088 yup. Got to wave 9. But RNJesus didn't shine upon me and I only spawned with one lake, so I starved. Was pretty fun tho.

A berry the size of a basketball is called a pumpkin.
Cool so this is like they are billions mixed with a classic rts, ima get this.
The sunsets and sunrises are kind of weird, but I think I like them actually. Not sure though, I think I need to get used to them.
3:15 Botanically Melons *are* a kind of berry. Same as Banana and Tomato. Meanwhile Straw and Blueberries are not actually berries.
berry the size of your head? That's just a large pineapple. Yes, they are berries.
Good work as always man. Keep it up.
Hi there splatter. Im watching your vids for a while now and i was wondering if you will do a video of your favorite top 10 indie games or so? Would be amazing to watch. Thanks
Another one for the wishlist!
Lol I was waiting on you to start singing some Johnny cash, I knew it😂 Every time you said porter, I started singing it in my head lol.
Berrius Maximus Titanica would’ve the name of my head sized berry
Its basically "They are Billions" medieval edition. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Nice Johnny Cash singing! Another reason I love this channel
"Get rekt random forest nerds!" - Love it!
"......the size of a basketball?" Radioactive?
A berry the size of a basketball would then be considered a fruit.
Been messing with the demo, finding it a bit confusing how many builders do I need at any point, how many porters, it doesn't seem clear.

Medieval art is WILD. 👍🏻
Everytime I see this kind of games I remember castle story, I don't know what happened to that game

It's a Berry that weighs a ton... Its a tonberry!
This looks GOOD!
Dude, you actually guessed it. A berry the size of your head would be a melon, because melons -from a botanical standpoint- literally are just huge berries.

As a mead maker I agree it can be expensive, but man, it's the only drink of Odin. No offense on cereal drinkers
Would love for this to be a series of yours
A watermelon can be around the size of a basketball, and is a berry, so watermelon is an acceptable answer.
Yoooo the demo is free right now!!! 😱😱😱 oops there goes my morning routine
3:30 FYI, watermelon, tomato, eggplant are technically berries
"maybe it would be a good idea to get more dead people" bro you made me cry hahshahahh
