I'm very impressed with how you approached the whole project. Having a detailed game documentation shows you are approaching this with reasonable goals to achieve. Your art style for the game is also really pretty!
@@crimsonhollowgame I believe that the most important thing in creating a game in this era is creating an endless amount of new things for players to do and a way to interact with literally everything in the game like they would in real life. Every time you add something new, I believe that should be every developer's focus. Anyway, congratulations and best of luck on your game it looks amazing.
Thought the same. I replayed it two times to make sure she didn't say 13 months. 3 months is crazy progress. As a fellow GameDev, you are a great inspiration!
Incredible. Astounding. I’d pay $100 for the game. Developers with this much passion make the best games and deserve to be rewarded over the companies squeezing $ out of games with 0 heart.
Videos like this always makes me kinda teary, you're doing something that most people lack the skills / motivation / vision to do; I wish you the best with this project, and hope that I will also be able to create something magnificent like this one day; Keep up the good work
Maybe what could help speeding up the character animation and clothing production is how Hades approached it, or at least similar. Like creating a base 3D Model and the important keyframes with it, then draw over the clothes etc. Nontheless very good looking game, looking forward to more progress!
As soon as I saw the intro I was hooked. It's very clear that she's very skilled at telling a story, visual design, video editing. I won't believe this is your second yt video. Inspiring!
From one animator to another, that’s a helluva walk cycle! I mainly do 3D shaded to look 2D cuz I don’t have the patience to draw on model but I love the look of hand-drawn animation
I don't know if i have seen this on Steam but definitely going to take a look. It is the tiny details that add the polish or quality of life that enhance enjoyment. While not necessary, it is always a joy when they are added. It shows the game developer cares.
Woot! Congrats on having it on Steam. I'll put it on my wishlist ASAP. Can't wait to see more of your development! This is so exciting and inspiring! Love it!
Courtney, this is so impressive - I'm really looking forward to this game. I love that you find creative solutions (like referencing doll furniture) to suit the needs of the project. I can tell I'm going to want to spend a lot of time in your world!
i’m definitely gonna buy this game when it comes out. I LOOOVE what you’re planning to do with the dialogue! it gets boring when characters greet you with the same line or when they get predictable. I love the art style of the game and how you’re paying attention to the details especially when it comes to the animation
Your message at the end of the video was really touching. Thank you for that. You are an amazing talent and so positive - it's refreshing! I look forward to following your journey to bring Crimson Hollow to life :) well done on everything you've achieved so far!!!
Wow - the design and visual style is beautiful! You also sound like you know what you're after and have a plan to get there. I look forward to following your progress.
Amazing video, you're so skilled it's impressive! To be so great at drawing, coding, conceptualizing a game, and even at communication is insane. Bravo, looking forward to the development of your game!
Not many videos made me so internally happy as this one. This is such a beautiful project and your approach to it is amazing. I'm so looking forward to future videos.
I so need the ost for this game. It's so good! Ugh, and the attention to detail and worldbuilding? It's just....*chef's kiss* Honestly, Courtney, you're an inspiration. I'm sure you light up the lives of everyone who knows you. And even random strangers like me. You're really amazing.
ah it's so wonderful to see how your distinct style has permeated through all the visuals of the game!! so so excited to see what you come up with next
I'm already in love with the art style, love potions and all magical things. I hope the potion making will allow us to interact with it like crushing the herbs using mortar and pestle and mixing it on the cauldron, something like that.
respect for so many things you did, you did so many things incredibly. the animations good, perspective is wonky only tho I feel you know it and any other criticism I could give so in general this is fucking amazing
The level of polish you have is impressive, even for things outside of the game itself. Website, documentation, discord, events... Last but not least, you also sound like a kind person. Wishing you good luck in your endeavors.
Looks amazing! I was so happy to see the update today and I love how you are approaching this. I will continue to follow the progress, I wishlisted it as from the first vid on this project I knew I wanted it.
Your video truly invigorated my day! Your approach to sharing information is engaging and filled with enthusiasm, making it a joy to watch. Your ability to articulate your vision for Crimson Hollow is impressive, and the attention to detail in world-building, game mechanics, and character customization is commendable. I am eagerly anticipating your future devlogs to see how this cosy, hand-drawn RPG continues to evolve. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'm seeing this video eight months later, but judging from how much progress you've already made in three months was already very inspiring! Can't wait for the game to come out to try it :D
I want to spend the rest of my life in Crimson Hollow!! It looks soo soo beautiful and cozy and don´t even get me started on the amazing art style. I can´t wait to make my way around Crimson Hollow and get to know the citizens. I just feel like I wanna be there. Thank you so much for sharing your process, it is really inspiring and just so much fun to watch. Keep up the great work
I would make the day night cycle more noticeable like turning off interior lights during day, and changing the color pallet between day and night. This will make it pop more. Also, let users hover over things to see if they are clickable. There are many techniques on this you can research. Overall this is very impressive and I like the art style a lot!
Absolutely visually captivating! It looks to be such a beautiful game. I love the evening look of the day and night cycle - I always wish these transitional times can last forever!! I can’t wait to see the story and world come to fruition ❤
This is next level dedication! And thank you for the kind words for the people out there contemplating whether or not they should just start on an idea or wait for the right time. It's something I've realized recently myself, and while my progress hasn't been as awesome as yours, I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far! Thank you for all the hard work you're putting into this :)
The manual style of implementing art is going to make this game beautiful and responsive, but it's also going to make the storage requirement huge. Perhaps you could find ways to reuse assets and implement features that allow your code to alter how they look or behave.
I'm very impressed with how you approached the whole project. Having a detailed game documentation shows you are approaching this with reasonable goals to achieve. Your art style for the game is also really pretty!
Setting reasonable goals is so important and so easy to over scope! The game does look really great.
Ditto.
Thank you so much! Goals are important :)
The game is really beautiful the atmosphere and art direction are just too cool 😄

OMG this is art is beautiful! I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to animate 2D characters in isometric perspective. Well done.
Gamers are going to tell the love you've put into this game. Gamers can tell. Stay on track and wonderful work. I'm looking forward to your vision.
the vibe all the art gives off is so damn good. it just feels so warm yet cold.
I got this same vibe!
only 3 months in development?? your progress is amazing!
My jaw dropped when she said that. 3 months?!! She's got this in the bag.
Thought the same. I replayed it two times to make sure she didn't say 13 months. 3 months is crazy progress. As a fellow GameDev, you are a great inspiration!
Well probably bought a few systems and tools and then did the art in 3 months.
@@RottenSkull yea
@@RottenSkull lol yea, if it was a 50 year old guy no one would watch this

I don't know how exactly Hades did it but that's how ufotable does character animation too and it looks really smooth.
I cannot BELIEVE how many art assets you've made in such a fast amount of time. You're incredible Courtney! Great video.
this is so cool ❤
