    A week in the life devlog in the style of ThinMatrix. We documented a week of gamedev, making RUclips videos, and what our general day-to-day life is like. I hope you enjoy!
    Subscribe for NEW game dev videos every Monday & Thursday!
    We've been asked what course we use for RUclips, so here it is: incomeschool.com/project24/?r...
    We do get a little kickback when people join, so this is another way to support the channel.
    We highly recommend this course, but only if you're willing to put in the work.

    Love that you spend time with your kids! keep at it, mine have started being teenagers and i miss them wanting to hang out with us all the time. You will too, it happens overnight, so make the most of it. I have also noticed that since last i commented 6 months ago you have almost quadrupled your subscribers! Both of you need to pat yourself on the back for that. Well done!

    This has been one of my favourite videos you have created so far. Not only does it show the family dynamic side of indie dev I have never seen from others, but it shows the constant struggle with bugs I think many people fear. Well done.

  • @vergilw7009

    I have an opinion of your game , when using melee attack to hit the enemy, the "whole screen flashing to white " is too strong, it is bad for player`s eye. if you insist to keep it , at least put it in option to disable or enable it . there are many game being complain about the effect is too strong , mostly is related to the white flashing screen . dont want your game being complain too.

    • @GeryNH
      @GeryNH 3 месяца назад +2

      True, it could trigger a migrane attack in no time.

    • @Jonttum91
      @Jonttum91 3 месяца назад +1

      Yes! Make it so that the player sprite flashes red, not the screen. It’s good to have ”game feel”, but sometimes it’s too much.

    I’ve been following y’all since the beginning and I really really appreciate everything y’all do as a couple channel. You have so much value to offer with your content and I just absolutely love that you and your wife are doing all of this together. It’s amazing to see your kid cloning your game in her free time XD. You are all amazing, thank you so much for making the decision to share your journey with us!

  • @andremarcatti7600

    Really good video. Great pacing and structure and engaging content. You make what you do look easy, yet us indie devs know how hard that is-not just to develop and create Social media content, but also to balance work-life so you can maximize productivity without impacting family quality and quantity time too much.

  • @michaelnawrocki7913

    Really cool to get an insight into your work & life. Samurado is looking great, excited to see more!
    Also Outer Wilds is such an amazing game, it honestly was one of the most impactful gaming experiences I ever had, it not only influenced how I think about games but also gave me endless inspiration for my music (Andrew Prahlows work is incredible).

    I love to see that you have such balanced life, its the kind of balance that I relly want to achieve but its hardd... i get back from school around 3-4pm, have to do homework till 5pm and i have like max 2 hpours to work on my game if i want to do something else too, if i just focus on my game and dont do anything else then i acan get maybe 3-4 hours of gamedev but its hard to find that baklance when i can do gamedev but also continue and grow other hobbies

    Finally got to see your channel after only been listening to the podcast. I can't believe the squatchs have faces. Before I totally backseat dev wanted to say very wonderful and just wishlisted the game. I think you should totes add a non distracting gradient burst in the very background whenever the player takes damage (yellow if hit by lightning and orange if hit by fire all that cool stuff.) think would be a ?simple? addon but very nice non distracting detail that would add a lot. I have other ideas but i will backseat another day keep it up you two looks very good!!
